Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies are babies with birth weight ≤ 2500 grams regardless of gestational period, whether premature or full term. LBW is a very complicated problem because it contributes to high morbidity and mortality, and can trigger chronic diseases due to instability of the baby's body in the future. This study aims to determine maternal factors associated with the incidence of low birth weight (LBW) in the work area of the Salewangeng Community Health Center, Wajo Regency. The type of research used is quantitative research using a cross sectional approach. The results of the study showed that there was a significant relationship between gestational age (p-value=0.000), consumption of iron/Fe tablets (p-value=0.000), ANC visits (p-value=0.000), consumption of fast food during pregnancy (p- value=0.000) with the incidence of LBW and there is no relationship between parity (p-value=0.601) and the incidence of LBW. Pregnant women are expected to make regular check-up visits during pregnancy and implement steps given by health workers to prevent the occurrence of LBW by doing physical activity, taking iron (Fe) supplements given by health workers and not frequently consuming fast food when pregnant. can affect the nutritional status of the mother and fetus.

Abstract

Social stress can trigger activation of the autonomic nervous system, which can increase blood pressure. The body's reaction to stress can include the release of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can affect cardiovascular function. Individuals who experience social stress may tend to adopt unhealthy lifestyles, such as poor eating habits and poor sleep quality. Hypertension is an increase in systolic blood pressure more than equal to 140 mmHg and diastolic more than equal to 90 mmHg. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a medical condition that significantly increases the risk of heart, brain, kidney and other diseases. This study aims to see the relationship between stress with the incidence of hypertension in the working area of the Manipi Health Center, Sinjai Barat District. The type of research used is quantitative research with an analytic observational approach with a cross sectional study design. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling using purposive sampling, with a total sample of 95 people. The results of this study indicate that factors associated with the incidence of hypertension, namely social stress with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), sleep quality with a p-value of 0.033 (<0.05), sodium intake with a p-value of 0.022 (<0.05). By understanding the complex relationship between social stress, sleep quality and sodium intake with hypertension, more effective intervention strategies can be designed to reduce the risk and manage the negative health impacts that may arise from social stress. It also provides a foundation for health promotion that focuses on overall social and psychological well-being

Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite, transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. This disease remains a significant public health problem, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. This study aims to identify the factors associated with malaria incidence in the working area of the Tanah Merah Health Center, Mandobo District, Boven Digoel Regency, Papua Province. The study was conducted in the Mandobo District. This type of research is observational with a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study comprised all patients who visited the Tanah Merah Health Center, while the sample was determined using simple random sampling, resulting in a sample of 140 respondents. The data analysis used was the Chi-square test. The results showed that the factors contributing to the incidence of malaria in the working area of the Tanah Merah Health Center, Mandobo District, Boven Digoel Regency, were the habit of being outside at night (p=0.000), the use of bed nets (p=0.001), mosquito breeding place (p=0.000), and the use of mosquito repellents (p=0.004). Malaria control is expected to involve community participation in environmental modification aimed at reducing mosquito breeding habitats, such as improving drainage systems in collaboration with local governments, filling in unused holes or ponds, and marshlands to prevent them from becoming mosquito breeding sites

Abstract

Health facilities are places that are frequently visited by the public for treatment, maternal and child examinations, vaccinations and routine check-ups. However, people face an increased risk of infection if they receive treatment in health facilities that lack basic needs related to Water, Sanitation, Hygiene (WASH). Health facilities also still pay less attention to other inclusive indicators such as women, the elderly and children. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of patient education, monitoring programs, and promotion of healthy lifestyles regarding inclusive WASH on the satisfaction of outpatients at RSUD Jend. Ahmad Yani, Metro City in 2024. This type of research uses a quantitative approach with data analysis using univariate, bivariate and multivariate tests. The results of the study explain the level of satisfaction of outpatients at RSUD Jend. A. Yani Metro City in 2024 is at a level of 36%, bivariate analysis shows that only promotion of a healthy lifestyle has a significant relationship with the level of patient satisfaction (P-Value = 0.000 < 0.05). Multivariate test results explain that only monitoring program variables and healthy lifestyle promotion variables regarding inclusive WASH facilities have an influence on patient satisfaction. The dominant variable that influences the level of patient satisfaction is the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. With a focus on promoting healthy lifestyles and optimizing WASH facility monitoring programs, RSUD Jend. A. Yani can increase patient satisfaction significantly. Implementing appropriate policies based on these findings will help hospitals provide better health services and meet patient expectations.

Abstract

There are many obstacles faced in the implementation of health promotion in hospitals. One of the main obstacles is the passive attitude of hospitals that only wait for patients to come without paying attention to the surrounding health aspects, which is an ancient function of hospitals in ancient times that functioned as curative and rehabilitative efforts. The services provided tend to be individual and do not consider the impact on society as a whole. In addition, the lack of competent resources in health promotion is also a problem because hospitals have little or no skilled manpower in this field. The use of purposive sampling in this study aims to find out how the implementation of Hospital Health Promotion that has been carried out by General Ahmad Yani Hospital is in line with the PKRS implementation standards set by Permenkes No. 44 of 2018. The informants used are key informants, main informants, and additional informants. Based on the formulation of the problem and the objectives of the study, the exposure to this data is grouped into four, namely: (1) data exposure regarding the implementation of standard I carried out by hospital employees, (2) implementation of standard II carried out by hospital employees, (3) implementation of standard III carried out by hospital employees, (4) implementation of standard IV carried out by hospital employees, These measures include the formation of a special team responsible for assessing the hospital's Human Resources (HR) and encouraging the hospital's human resources to conduct research related to PKRS. In addition, the hospital is expected to adopt the PKRS concept as stipulated in Permenkes No. 44 of 2018 by involving all relevant stakeholders.

Abstract

Mbojo farmers are at high risk of suffering from Diabetes Mellitus (DM) due to hard work and a diet high in carbohydrates. However, the incidence of DM among them is relatively low thanks to the tradition of using the Nyale seaworm (Eunice sicilliensis) for prevention and treatment. This research aims to uncover these traditional practices in Parado District, West Nusa Tenggara, in 2024. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. The informants consisted of six people who were selected through purposive sampling. The results of the study showed that DM prevention was carried out by consuming fresh Nyale worms during mass spawning in the Nyale smell tradition. This tradition involves prayer and prayer together, followed by the taking of Nyale on the 9th day of the Hijri month. Treatment is carried out by drying, punching, and applying Nyale to the wound of DM sufferers. These findings show the potential of local traditions as a preventive measure and natural treatment. The implications include the development of DM prevention programs, increasing access to health services, occupational health education, and improving the work environment. Researchers recommend further studies to explore the benefits of Nyale worms as a candidate for diabetes drugs, while supporting the development of natural ingredients in modern medicine
