Abstract

Workplace accidents are a serious issue in the industrial sector. They can affect worker health and safety, as well as company productivity. Data from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (Social Security Agency for Employment) indicates that 370,747 workplace accidents were recorded in Indonesia in 2023. Unsafe actions and unsafe conditions can contribute to workplace accidents. This study aims to determine the relationship between unsafe actions and unsafe conditions and the occurrence of workplace accidents among power plant workers at PT PLN Indonesia Power UBP Tello Makassar in 2025. This is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all 66 power plant workers. A total sampling technique was employed, meaning the entire population served as the study sample. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results show no significant relationship between unsafe conditions and workplace accidents (p=0.762). However, unsafe actions show a significant relationship (p<0.001). It can be concluded that unsafe actions are associated with workplace accidents among power plant workers at PT PLN Indonesia Power UBP Tello Makassar, whereas unsafe conditions are not significantly associated.

Abstract

Pesticide use in agricultural activities can increase the risk of health problems among farmers, particularly when exposure is repeated and occurs without appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). One potential health impact is respiratory complaints. This study aimed to identify factors associated with respiratory complaints among pepper farmers in Rante Angin Village, Towuti District, East Luwu Regency. This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all 192 pepper farmers in Rante Angin Village. A total sampling technique was employed, meaning the entire population served as the study sample. Independent variables included pesticide exposure, spraying frequency, duration of employment, and PPE usage, while the dependent variable was respiratory complaints. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed a significant association between respiratory complaints and pesticide exposure (p=0.021), spraying frequency (p=0.021), duration of employment (p=0.032), and PPE usage (p=0.027) among the pepper farmers. It can be concluded that pesticide exposure, spraying frequency, employment duration, and PPE use are significantly associated with respiratory complaints among pepper farmers in Rante Angin Village.

Abstract

Benzene is a hazardous chemical found in workshop environments that can enter the body through inhalation, skin absorption, or ingestion. Once inside the body, benzene is metabolized into several metabolites—including phenol—which are subsequently excreted in urine. Urinary phenol levels can serve as a biomarker for benzene exposure. This study aimed to identify factors associated with urinary phenol levels among workshop workers at PT Bosowa Berlian Motor in 2023. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, and the study sample was selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires, observations, and laboratory analysis of urinary phenol levels. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed no significant association between the workers' length of employment and urinary phenol levels (p=0.282), nor between the duration of exposure and urinary phenol levels (p=0.305). Workers are advised to consistently use full personal protective equipment and practice good personal hygiene to minimize benzene exposure in the workplace.

Abstract

Mercury (Hg) is a toxic heavy metal that can accumulate in aquatic environments and move through the food chain, potentially posing risks to environmental and human health. This study aimed to analyze mercury concentrations in environmental media (water and sediment) and biota—specifically algae, mosquitofish (*Gambusia affinis*), and Nile tilapia (*Oreochromis niloticus*)—within the Tallo River Basin in Makassar City, as well as to examine its bioaccumulation and biomagnification. An ecological study design with a descriptive approach was employed. Sampling was conducted at three locations: Kaluku Badoa, Parangloe, and Kapasa. Analysis results revealed that the highest mercury concentrations in sediment (0.103 mg/kg) and water (0.001 mg/L) were found in Parangloe. Mercury concentrations in algae reached 10.06 ppm, while concentrations in mosquitofish and Nile tilapia ranged from 0.061–0.117 mg/kg and 0.024–0.101 mg/kg, respectively. Mercury levels in both fish species remained below the maximum permissible limit of 0.5 mg/kg. Bioaccumulation factor (BAF) analysis showed the highest value in algae at Parangloe (BAF = 10,060), whereas mercury was not detected in algae at the other two locations. Mosquitofish exhibited a BAF >1 at all observation sites, while Nile tilapia showed a BAF >1 at Kaluku Badoa and Kapasa but not at Parangloe (BAF = 0.23). The highest biomagnification factor (BMF) was observed at Kaluku Badoa (BMF = 1.656), indicating potential for mercury biomagnification within the food chain. These findings demonstrate that the distribution, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification of mercury in the Tallo River Basin vary according to location and environmental component. Periodic monitoring of water quality and biota, along with the control of pollution sources, is necessary to minimize the potential for mercury exposure to ecosystems and humans.

Abstract

Bullying is aggressive behavior repeatedly perpetrated by an individual or group against another individual perceived as weaker, and it can impact the mental health of adolescents. This study aimed to analyze changes in adolescents' knowledge and attitudes regarding bullying prevention following the provision of mental health education at MTsN 1 Mamuju. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving both experimental and control groups. The study population consisted of 314 eighth-grade students; a sample of 176 students was selected via simple random sampling and divided into experimental and control groups, with 88 students in each. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, including the Wilcoxon test. The results revealed significant differences between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores in both the experimental (p=0.001) and control (p=0.001) groups. Regarding attitudes, a significant difference was observed between pre-test and post-test scores in the experimental group (p=0.001), whereas no significant difference was found in the control group (p=0.396). The findings indicate an improvement in knowledge and attitudes within the experimental group following mental health education. However, since changes in knowledge were also observed in the control group, a comparative analysis of the changes between the two groups is necessary to more precisely determine the intervention's effect.

Abstract

The prevalence of depression in Indonesia shows a shift in patterns across age groups, moving from the highest prevalence in the ≥65 age group in 2018 to the 15–24 age group in 2023. Various data and studies indicate that depression is more common in females than in males. However, evidence regarding gender-based differences in depression symptom profiles, particularly among Indonesian adolescents, remains limited. This study aimed to analyze differences in depression symptom profiles between female and male adolescents in Indonesia. A cross-sectional study design was employed using secondary data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI). The sample comprised 618 adolescents aged 15–18 years who were identified as having depression and met the study criteria. Analysis was conducted using logistic regression, accounting for survey weighting and adjusting for education level, employment status, and economic status. The results indicate that female adolescents had higher odds of experiencing changes in appetite or weight (aPOR=2.54; 95% CI: 1.54–4.19), feelings of low self-confidence or worthlessness (aPOR=1.90; 95% CI: 1.20–3.00), feelings of guilt or self-blame (aPOR=2.02; 95% CI: 1.21–3.39), and difficulties in thinking, concentrating, and/or making decisions (aPOR=1.70; 95% CI: 1.08–2.67) compared to male adolescents. Conversely, the odds of symptoms involving slowed speech or movement, restlessness, agitation, and/or an inability to sit still were lower among female adolescents (aPOR=0.48; 95% CI: 0.28–0.83). These findings demonstrate gender-based differences in depression symptom profiles among Indonesian adolescents. These differences need to be considered in gender-sensitive screening and early detection strategies for depression among the adolescent population.

Abstract

The Health Profile serves as a vital source of information for supporting the planning, decision-making, monitoring, and evaluation of health development. Data management for the Health Profile at the South Sulawesi Provincial Health Office faces various challenges, particularly regarding data completeness, timeliness, consistency, governance, and human resource capacity. This study aims to analyze the management of Health Profile data at the South Sulawesi Provincial Health Office. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with the study conducted from February to April 2026. Research informants included the Head of the Program Sub-division, Health Information System administrators, and data managers from divisions such as health services, health human resources, disease prevention and control, and public health, as well as regency/city Health Profile managers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document review, and subsequently analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach. The results indicate that while Health Profile data management is being implemented, it is not yet optimal. Key issues include data incompleteness, reporting delays, and data inconsistencies across sources and platforms. The implementation of standard operating procedures lacks uniformity across units and regencies/cities, and capacity building for data managers through training has been uneven. Verification and validation processes—involving cross-checks, clarifications, and desk validation—are still heavily reliant on inter-unit coordination and manual checks. Health Profile data management requires strengthening through procedural standardization, human resource capacity building, optimized information system integration, and periodic monitoring and evaluation to enhance data quality and support the timely publication of the Health Profile.

Abstract

The Minimum Service Standard (MMS) in the health sector outlines the types and quality of basic services that local governments must provide to fulfill the public's basic rights. In Makassar City, healthcare services for hypertension patients represent an SPM indicator with achievement levels that remain low compared to other health service indicators. This study aims to analyze the fulfillment of SPM coverage for hypertension healthcare services within the Makassar City Health Office's jurisdiction in 2025. A qualitative approach with a descriptive-comparative design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews with eight informants from the Makassar City Health Office, the Tamalanrea Jaya Community Health Center (Puskesmas), and the Rappokalling Community Health Center. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal variations in meeting SPM requirements for hypertension services across six examined aspects: human resources (HR), facilities and infrastructure, funding, program management, monitoring and evaluation, and policy and leadership support. While facilities, infrastructure, and funding were generally adequate, limited human resources emerged as a primary obstacle to achieving service targets. At Rappokalling Community Health Center, the SPM achievement for hypertension dropped from 59.92% in 2023 to 43.38% in 2025, a decline attributed to staff turnover and limited proficiency with digital systems. Conversely, Tamalanrea Jaya Community Health Center demonstrated improved performance, reaching 100% achievement in 2025. The study concludes that meeting SPM requirements for hypertension healthcare services depends not only on the availability of facilities and funding but is also significantly influenced by the adequacy and capacity of human resources, as well as program management at the community health center level. Strengthening human resource capacity, ensuring the continuity of program management, and optimizing monitoring systems are essential to consistently achieve the Minimum Service Standards (MSH) for hypertension.

Abstract

Primary Service Integration (ILP) is a component of health system transformation that strengthens primary health services through an integrated, community-oriented approach. This study aims to describe the acceleration of ILP implementation by the South Sulawesi Provincial Health Office in support of health system transformation. A descriptive, qualitative method was employed. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document reviews, and subsequently analyzed through stages of data collection, condensation, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that accelerating ILP implementation encompasses health policies and programs, planning and budgeting, resource readiness, monitoring and evaluation, and cross-sector and cross-program collaboration. Policy support is in place, and planning and budgeting processes have begun to accommodate the needs of ILP implementation. Human resources and infrastructure readiness are relatively adequate, although regional disparities persist. Monitoring and evaluation activities have been conducted, yet the quality of data and performance indicators requires further strengthening. Cross-sector and cross-program collaboration is underway, but coordination and commitment among stakeholders need improvement. In conclusion, while the acceleration of ILP implementation in South Sulawesi Province is progressing, further strengthening is required in resource equity, monitoring and evaluation, and cross-sector and cross-program coordination to optimally support the transformation of primary services.
