Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by microorganisms of the genus Plasmodium, transmitted to humans by the female Anopheles mosquito species. The breeding place of this Anopheles mosquito is typically found in the environment, such as stagnant water in rivers, abandoned ponds, lagoons, and other similar areas. Pesawaran Regency is a malaria-endemic area in Lampung Province with an API of 1.4 in 2023. Mapping the distribution of breeding places is necessary to control malaria vectors in Pesawaran Regency. Based on this, this study will conduct a spatial analysis of the breeding sites of Anopheles sp. mosquitoes, which are potential vectors of malaria infection in Pesawaran District. This type of research is descriptive observational using cross sectional design, coordinate survey and visual inspection of larvae found in breading place and spatially processed using Arcgis V.10.8. From the observations of breeding places in the form of swamps, water reservoirs (buckets and derigen) unused fish ponds or ponds, buffering breeding place analysis carried out can be seen that malaria cases are in the area of vector flight distance of 1,000 meters and 3,000 meters. Potential breeding places were found in Teluk Pandan sub-district of Pesawaran Regency, breeding places are scattered in five villages and are located in coastal areas with a distance between 407.88 meters - 707.266 meters from the coastline, buffering analysis of breeding places can be seen that the location at risk of malaria case transmission is in the vector flight distance area of 1,000 meters and 3,000 meters covering eight villages.

Abstract

Particulate Matter (PM) is a dangerous pollutant of various sizes that can be detrimental to health, through penetration of the respiratory tract and entering the bloodstream. The sago industry (home industry scale) located in residential areas causes health problems, such as shortness of breath, dizziness and headaches. The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of air filtration made from coconut fiber to reduce particulates in the air (PM2.5 and PM10). The study used a one group pre-post test design, conducted in seven sago industries (home industries) in Jaya Village, Tidore Islands City. Data processing used Bivariate analysis, which was carried out to see wood dust before and after treatment. Data analysis used Paired T-Test to assess differences in PM levels before and after treatment.  The results showed a difference in PM 2.5 levels before and after treatment (P= 0.0001). Similarly, PM10 parameters also showed a significant difference (P = 0.007). Based on these results, coconut fiber air filters are effective in reducing PM 2.5 and PM10 concentrations.

Abstract

Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) is a crucial methodology for preventing diarrheal diseases; however, the availability of valid and reliable assessment tools remains inadequate. The study aims to develop and evaluate the validity and reliability of an instrument for assessing CLTS initiatives. This study employed a mixed-methods framework consisting of two distinct phases: (1) expert validation conducted by five environmental health specialists to assess content validity (Content Validity Index/CVI), and (2) reliability assessment involving 30 participants using Cronbach’s Alpha. Top of Form The content validity (Scale-Level CVI/S-CVI) for all constructs reached the threshold of ≥0.85, although two items were considered invalid (I-CVI <0.78). The reliability coefficients derived from Cronbach’s Alpha ranged from 0.61 to 0.79, with three items identified as inconsistent. Top of Form This instrument is suitable for implementation following the revision of items exhibiting ambiguity. The practical implications highlight the need for enhanced precision in monitoring CLTS programs.

Abstract

Identification and control of occupational safety and health (OSH) risks on the BASARNAS ship K.N. Pacitan 102, Kendari City, are very important to identify factors that can potentially cause occupational accidents. This study used qualitative methods to characterize the forms of potential hazards and risk control, using observation methods in the K.N. Pacitan 102 ship's room environment, and to assess the risk level of the infrastructure and hazards (safety signs) on the ship. Based on the observation, there is a high risk in the galley room of being struck by glass cutlery or burned by cooking utensils. Moderate risks are partially identified in the wheelhouse area, radio equipment, corridor, gallery room, passenger room, kitchen, mosque, and engine room with risk descriptions in the form of high temperatures (heat), hearing loss, injuries due to collisions, the presence of fragments of iron & glass materials, saturation from a narrow work environment and lack of air circulation. At the same time, low risks are also found in some wheelhouse rooms, radio equipment, corridors, meeting rooms, hospitals, offices, and engine rooms, with risk descriptions such as bumping, slipping, saturation in work positions, and a lack of space for movement. Risk control is grouped into four sub-risk controls, such as substitution, engineering/isolation, elimination, and administration/training/ preparation of personal protective equipment (PPE). This study has had an impact on the readiness of BASARNAS to continue to improve the readiness and completeness of work safety to minimize all opportunities for work accidents that can occur at any time on the BASARNAS Ship K.N. Pacitan 102.

Abstract

High motor vehicle activity can be harmful to health. However, no research has specifically analyzed the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure among street vendors in Bandar Lampung. The study aims to analyze the health risks associated with CO exposure among street vendors in Bandar Lampung City. The study used a case study design, employing an Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA) approach, with 34 street vendors in Teuku Umar Street, Bandar Lampung City. The study was conducted from April to May 2025. Measurements of CO concentration and vehicle counts were conducted at three points using the Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) method for 7 days, with 3 replications (morning, afternoon, and evening). So that 63 data points were obtained (N = 63). Exposure analysis was conducted on 34 traders purposively selected at each sample point. Furthermore, the data was analyzed to obtain a risk value (RQ). The study results found that the average CO concentration was 6721 mg/m3 (1340 -11112 mg/m3 ). The average number of vehicles was 2,814 units (93 - 6,324 units). Statistical analysis showed a very strong relationship between the number of vehicles and ambient CO levels (r = 0.807; P = 0.001). The risk analysis found that all respondents had RQ values> 1, indicating that CO exposure is associated with health risks. The study found that all respondents were at risk of health problems from CO exposure. In addition, it has been shown that ambient CO levels are closely correlated with the number of vehicles.

Abstract

Batik workers are vulnerable to occupational health problems caused by chemical exposure, non-ergonomic working postures, and inadequate use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). At the Giriloyo Batik Center in Bantul, 57.9% of workers reported skin disorders, particularly dermatitis, associated with repetitive work activities. Occupational Health Services Posts (OHS Posts) have been introduced to improve the health status of informal-sector workers; however, comprehensive evaluations of their implementation in the batik industry remain scarce. This study evaluated the implementation of the OHS Post in Wijirejo, Pandak, Bantul, using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) evaluation model. A mixed-methods evaluative study was conducted in two batik industries in Wijirejo Village, Bantul. Data were collected through observations, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Program performance was assessed using the CIPP framework. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were processed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicated that the work environment generally complied with occupational safety standards, although risks related to musculoskeletal disorders and chemical exposure persisted. Human resources met the requirements of Permenkes No. 100 of 2015; however, cadre training had not been implemented, and funding relied solely on the state budget. Program activities were conducted regularly, but administrative functions remained dependent on the OHS Post supervisor. Overall, the OHS Post was classified as Intermediate (Madya), with improvements in workers’ behavior (43.8%) and occupational health knowledge (37.5%), while the reduction in occupational disease cases remained limited (18.8%). The OHS Post contributed positively to improving occupational health awareness and behavior among batik workers. Strengthening cadre competencies, administrative systems, promotive-preventive activities, and sustainable funding is essential to enhance long-term program effectiveness.

Abstract

In 2022, Eastern Indonesia continued to experience a relatively high infant mortality rate (IMR) compared to the national average, with several regions in Papua categorized as having high IMR levels. This situation highlights the urgency of identifying the underlying determinants. Various dimensions, including environmental, social, and access-to-basic-services factors, are important to investigate. However, since environmental variables are not available in official statistical data, remote sensing data were utilized as an alternative source. This study integrates official statistical data and remote sensing data to identify the determinants of IMR. The remote sensing data were obtained through Google Earth Engine script processing. Preliminary modeling indicated the presence of spatial heterogeneity; therefore, a Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) approach was employed to examine the local variation in the effects of each independent variable. Based on the significance mapping of model parameters, substantial spatial variation in IMR was observed across Eastern Indonesia. The GWR results indicate that environmental variables were generally not the dominant factors contributing to higher IMR, as most local coefficients reflected infrastructure disparities. The only environmental variable that consistently showed a significant effect was Land Surface Temperature (LST). In contrast, social conditions and access to basic services played a more substantial role in explaining variations in IMR across Eastern Indonesia. Barriers to healthcare access, low levels of welfare, and limited infrastructure were identified as the main factors contributing to the high infant mortality rates in Eastern Indonesia in 2022.

Abstract

Seaports and airports are strategic points characterized by high mobility of people and goods, making them potential hubs for the dissemination of dengue vectors. The presence of Aedes aegypti larvae is strongly influenced by environmental factors and the effectiveness of vector control methods. This study employed an analytic observational quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted at Bakauheni Seaport and Radin Inten II Airport in 2025. All identified at-risk sites were included as the study sample. The independent variables were temperature, humidity, physical control, and chemical control, whereas the dependent variable was the presence of Aedes aegypti larvae. Data were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. The findings revealed that humidity and chemical control were the primary determinants of Aedes aegypti larval presence at Bakauheni Seaport. In contrast, at Radin Inten II Airport, physical control played a more prominent role than the other factors examined. Therefore, strengthening physical vector control integrated with chemical control is recommended as the principal strategy for dengue prevention at points of entry.
