Abstract

Indonesia has implemented a Large-Scale Social Distancing policy, limiting major public activities to control the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates the media content information, the perception of its role, and its contribution to forming the general public’s risk perception and protective behavior during this situation. This study was an observational study using a cross-sectional design. Data was collected through an online semi-structured questionnaire using Google Forms. A total of 522 participants were obtained through snowball sampling for two weeks. The data analyzed used the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique. The results showed the structural model of media content information and the perception of media’s role in influencing risk perception and protective behavior. Media content information and perception of media’s role directly influence protective behavior significantly. The only perception of the media’s role is that it significantly influences risk perception. Then, risk perception directly influences protective behavior. The structural model of media content information and perception of media’s role in influencing risk perception and protective behavior during COVID-19 when the transition period to the new normal era in Indonesia has been conducted.

Abstract

One of the problems in the urban environment is the rise in land surface temperature and heat buildup (Urban Heat Island) around built-up areas. People living in UHI areas will experience an increased risk of health burdens. Therefore, early identification for disaster mitigation is needed to achieve a sustainable city. This study aims to provide an overview of the risk of the spread of heat-related diseases based on the relative risk value in Tamalanrea District. This study considers the relationship between Land Surface Temperature (LST) values in 2019, 2020, and 2021 with the incidence of heat-related diseases obtained from the Integrated Health Center Recording and Reporting System (IHCRRS) in Tamalanrea District, Makassar City in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Data analysis used Pearson correlation test and Standardized Morbidity Ratio (SMR) epidemiological approach. The results showed a significant relationship between LST values and the incidence of hypertension, heart disease, and asthma in 2019 and the incidence of headache and hypertension in 2021. Bira and Kapasa sub-districts were at the highest risk for the spread of heat-related diseases than other sub-districts with a risk score > 4.00 (very high). These findings can be used to help guide public health interventions and preventive urban planning efforts.

Abstract

Work stress is a common response experienced by workers, including breastfeeding working women, due to stressors arising in the workplace. In the short term, work stress has a negative impact on the productivity and lactation activity of working women. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the factors associated with work stress among breastfeeding working women. A cross-sectional design was used by distributing the workplace stress scale questionnaire and additional questions to breastfeeding working women. The data used were obtained from 162 respondents spread across Indonesia who were willing to fill out online questionnaires. Subsequently, the collected data were analyzed using the Logistic Regression test. The results indicated that 85 people (52.47%) felt high stress, particularly regarding the lack of opportunity to show ability and talent during work. A statistically significant relationship (p=0.034, aOR= 2.139) was also discovered between the type of family and work-related stress in breastfeeding working women. Although this problem was directly sourced from stressors at work, demographic factors such as the type of family contributed to the stress experienced by breastfeeding working women.

Abstract

Several important factors are associated with establishing a healthy island including a healthy social life, food security, and nutrition but in-depth information related to these dimensions is limited. The relationship dimensions include addressing poverty, managing natural and social disasters, handling disabilities, food availability, and food security. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the best model for establishing a healthy island in South Sulawesi. The experiment was carried out on five islands located in three municipalities/regencies in South Sulawesi, namely Tanakeke Island in Takalar Regency, Barrang Caddi Island and Lummu-Lumu Island in Makassar Municipality, as well as Saugi Island and Sapuli Island in Pangkep Regency. The sample consisted of 196 households, while data were analyzed using multivariate analysis through structural equation model tests. The results showed that addressing poverty (t value = 13.77; R2 = 0.75), managing natural and social disasters (t value = 12.15; R2 = 0.61), as well as handling disabilities (t value = 12,53; R2 = 0.64) significantly affected healthy social life. Additionally, food availability (t value = 6.25; R2 = 0.66), and security (t value = 2.72; R2 = 0.85) played key roles in the relationship between food security and nutrition affecting a healthy island. The best indicator of a healthy social life variable was addressing poverty (t value = 13.77; R2 = 0.75). Meanwhile, the best indicator of food security and nutrition variables was food availability (t value = 6.25; R2 = 0.66).

Abstract

Dengue fever is transmitted every year by the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Indonesia. One way to prevent this is by using repellents, such as the noni leaf extract (Morinda citrifolia L.). The objective of this study was to analyze the potential of the noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia L.) leaf extract as a repellent against Aedes aegypti. The study employed a post-test research design with only a control group, using concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, and 37.5%, and 25 mosquitoes with 6 repetitions. The technique for data collection involved counting mosquitoes that perched on hands. The study was conducted from November 2022 to May 2023. Data analysis was performed using SPSS Anova One Away Post Hoc and the power protection formula. The research on Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that perched for 6 hours showed that the noni leaf extract concentration of 37.5% had an average of 2.5 tails perched. The concentration of the noni leaf extract is 37.5%, according to the Pesticide Committee standard (1995). The average protection power for 6 hours is 90.86%. The study also suggests investigating the side effects of use and the addition of an HPMC gelling agent. However, for concentrations of 12.5% and 25%, the protective power is less than 90%. This study shows that concentrations of 37.5% are effective for repelling Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Further research can be conducted using old or yellowed leaves, as well as for repelling culex and Anopheles mosquitoes.

Abstract

The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is an important health problem due to the association with increased cardiovascular disease as the main cause of death. Approximately 20-25% of the global adult population including Indonesia suffers from MetS. The high prevalence is attributed to several factors namely lifestyle changes such as dietary habit and physical activity. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary habit and physical activity with MetS incidence among civil servant employees in Jambi City, Indonesia. A cross-sectional design was used to assess the proportion of MetS, dietary habit, and physical activity. A total of 108 civil servant employees were selected as respondents from six agencies using a multistage random sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through physical examination and interviews using a questionnaire. The results showed that the prevalence of MetS was 60.2%, with three risk indicators, namely central obesity (74.1%), blood pressure (66.7%), and HDL (63%). Based on the chi-square test, dietary habit (OR=2.571, 95%CI=1.151-5.744) and physical activity (OR=3.692, 95%CI=1.625-8.388) were significantly related to MetS. The persistently high prevalence of MetS was significantly related to dietary habit and physical activity among civil servant employees in Jambi City-Indonesia. These results underscored the need to improve understanding of healthy diets by adopting a balanced nutritional intake, increasing the intensity of physical activity according to age, and engaging in regular exercise.

Abstract

Air Traffic Control (ATC) remains an active field of work during the pandemic due to the demand from domestic and international travelers. It is crucial for controllers to prioritize both their mental health while on duty and their body's immunity against conditions that make them vulnerable to Covid-19. Therefore, this study aims to review psychological conditions, feelings of fatigue, and quality of life among ATC during the pandemic. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used and the participants were 89 ATC in Makassar Air Traffic Service Center. The data collected included the general characteristics of ATC, DASS-21, KAUPK2, and (WHOQOL)-BREF. Data were collected from February to March 2022, then analysis was carried out using SPSS and Excel software. The results indicated the presence of negative emotional conditions among ATC even outside of their normal traffic control duties. Approximately 24% of ATC reported feelings of fatigue, while the quality of life exhibited a wide distribution of data, ranging from moderate to low. Therefore, it was concluded that the health status of ATC, even with regulations limiting the amount of traffic related to the pandemic period, still needs special attention to maintain performance.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease with progressively increasing prevalence every year and often leads to complications when not properly managed. Control or success of treatment is influenced by adherence of patients to the treatment process. This study aimed to analyze relationship between medication adherence and fasting glucose levels among DM outpatients. A correlation study was conducted using a cross-sectional approach on a sample of 300 respondents selected by probability sampling technique from the entire population. The instrument used was the MMAS-8 Test (Morisky Scale Medication Adherence Scales-8) and examination of fasting sugar levels. Meanwhile, data analysis was conducted with the Spearman Rho test. The results showed that the highest treatment adherence was in the moderate category by 130 (43.3%) and a decrease in fasting sugar levels was observed among 230 (76.7%) respondents. A significant relationship was found between medication adherence and fasting glucose levels with a p-value = <0.001 and r: -0.597. Based on the results, there was a negative relationship between medication adherence and fasting blood sugar. The higher medication adherence, the better the fasting sugar levels in DM outpatients.

Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic has significantly impacted adolescent mental health, particularly in cases of anxiety. The underlying causes, though, are yet unknown. The goal of this study is to identify any potential influences on adolescent anxiety during the COVID-19 epidemic. Cross-sectional time series analysis is the method used in this investigation. The 188 teenagers who made up the study's samples ranged in age from 15 to 18 years old. The sampling method made use of the probability sampling. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire was used as the instrument for gathering the data. Then, univariate, bivariate, and multivariate were used in the statistical test. Most of the respondents, namely 143 respondents (76.1%) experienced anxiety. The most influential factor in anxiety is the source of information (p value 0.020). The factors related to anxiety were sources of information, resilience, loneliness, social support, and having positive COVID-19 patients within the family or around the family environment. During the COVID-19, the source of information variable was found to be the most important variable related to the anxiety.  Lack of clear information makes thingking worse and increases adolescent anxiety. It is recommended for healthcare services and community health centers to provide accurate information about COVID-19 in educational institutions to reduce adolescent anxiety.

Abstract

Diarrhea is a global health problem that causes morbidity and death in all age groups. Among the cities in Indonesia, Depok has the second-highest incidence of diarrhea outbreaks. Although previous studies have shown the correlation between diarrhea and environmental and behavioral factors, the spatial analysis of these factors is still very limited. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the spatial analysis of the association between diarrhea incidence and environmental and behavioral factors using an ecological study. The secondary data from the Depok City Health Office were used in the analysis. Our results showed a significant relationship between proper drinking water coverage (p = 0.00; r = -0.289) and healthy latrine coverage (p = 0.02; r = -0.233) with the incidence of diarrhea. Meanwhile, household coverage of Clean and Healthy Behavior (Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS)) and population density showed no significant association. Spatial analysis maps also revealed the distribution pattern of diarrhea in Depok City from 2013 to 2021, tending to be more common in areas with low coverage of adequate drinking water. The findings from this study will contribute to optimizing diarrhea control and prevention programs.
