Abstract

This study investigates the symptoms of pesticide poisoning among vegetable farmers in the highland agricultural area of Pattapang Village, Tinggimoncong Subdistrict, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi. Utilizing a descriptive method, 296 farmers were surveyed to assess pesticide application practices, personal hygiene, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Data collection was conducted via structured questionnaires, focusing on exposure-related symptoms and contributing factors. Results reveal that 24.7% of respondents reported symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches, with PPE usage varying significantly—79.4% reported using PPE during pesticide application. However, 54.7% of farmers did not wear gloves, and only 24% used masks. Personal hygiene practices were generally good, with 72.6% of respondents following appropriate measures. The findings highlight the need for improved education and interventions to mitigate health risks associated with pesticide exposure. This study underscores the importance of safe pesticide practices and adequate PPE to safeguard farmer health.

Abstract

Previous studies on digital addiction in children have predominantly focused on urban or digitally advanced regions, leaving a gap in understanding how digital behaviors manifest in rural contexts, especially among elementary-aged children. This study aims to describe the level of digital addiction, including screen time and game addiction, among elementary school children in a rural area of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. A descriptive cross-sectional design was applied involving 50 students from State Elementary School 2 Wakorumba Selatan, selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a screen time questionnaire and the Game Online Addiction Scale, then analyzed univariately using SPSS. The results revealed that 54% of children had daily screen time exceeding three hours and 66% were classified as addicted to games. Notably, digital addiction was more prevalent among children over nine years old and among girls. Despite limited personal gadget ownership, many children still accessed digital content, with a recurring habit of playing games before bedtime. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted digital literacy programs and parental guidance in rural communities. This study contributes to public health by offering evidence to inform community-based interventions and educational policies aimed at preventing digital addiction and promoting healthy digital behaviors among children

Abstract

Previous studies on iron supplementation programs have largely focused on policy outcomes and national strategies, often overlooking the implementation dynamics at the primary healthcare level. This study addresses this gap by evaluating the implementation of the Iron Supplement Tablets (TTD) program at the Benu-Benua Health Center in Kendari City, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, recordings, and documentation involving nine purposively selected informants, including health center staff and beneficiaries. Thematic content analysis was applied through stages of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that although inputs such as human resources, funding from the Health Operational Assistance (BOK), and educational media are available, no specific training was provided to program implementers. SOPs exist but are not visibly posted, and coordination between stakeholders remains suboptimal. The process revealed that TTD planning and implementation were based on standard targets, but monitoring and recording were weak, leading to challenges in tracking outcomes. Output analysis showed that while pregnant women generally received TTD, distribution among adolescents was inconsistent, and consumption compliance was low. These results underscore the need for improved training, monitoring mechanisms, and cross-sectoral collaboration. Strengthening these areas is crucial for enhancing the impact of iron supplementation programs and supporting public health efforts to reduce stunting and anemia.

Abstract

Previous studies have shown a general association between health literacy and HIV/AIDS prevention behaviors; however, few have focused specifically on university students in educational hubs such as Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Moreover, the role of digital access and socio-cultural context in shaping student health literacy remains underexplored. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between health literacy levels and HIV/AIDS prevention behavior among university students in Yogyakarta. A cross-sectional analytical design was used involving 133 students recruited through consecutive sampling between May 5–23, 2025. Data were collected via a structured online questionnaire measuring both health literacy and HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test. The findings revealed a statistically significant association between health literacy and HIV/AIDS prevention behavior (p = 0.000). Students with higher health literacy were substantially more likely to engage in preventive behaviors, including safe sex practices and HIV testing, than those with low health literacy. This study reinforces the critical role of health literacy in influencing HIV/AIDS prevention among university students. The findings support the integration of health literacy education into academic programs as a public health strategy. Health professionals and policymakers should prioritize targeted literacy interventions to enhance health behaviors among youth populations.

Abstract

Several studies conducted on tuberculosis (TB) management have largely focused on patient-centered interventions, with limited qualitative exploration of family perceptions and caregiving roles, particularly in rural Indonesian contexts. This study addresses that gap by examining how families perceive and engage in the care of pulmonary TB patients in the service area of UPTD Puskesmas Mowewe, East Kolaka Regency, in 2024. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews involving six informants, including family members of TB patients. The study reveals a spectrum of family perceptions, from comprehensive understanding to persistent stigma and misconceptions about TB transmission and treatment. These perceptions significantly influence caregiving behaviors, with some families offering strong emotional and logistical support, while others demonstrate limited involvement due to lack of knowledge and access to health information. Findings highlight that the family's role is central in supporting treatment adherence, facilitating access to healthcare, and promoting healthy practices within the household. The study underscores the need for structured education and empowerment programs tailored to families, especially in rural settings. These efforts are critical for enhancing family participation in TB care and achieving better public health outcomes. Recommendations include integrating family-based strategies into TB control programs and strengthening collaboration between healthcare providers and families.

Abstract

Previous studies on Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) prevention have often emphasized knowledge dissemination and community participation without directly linking these behavioral interventions to measurable entomological outcomes. There remains a gap in evidence regarding the integration of self-awareness strategies with vector surveillance indicators such as the Container Index (CI) and the Free Larvae Index (ABJ). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based self-awareness survey combined with ovitrap training in controlling mosquito breeding as a preventive measure against DHF in Bulusan Village, Semarang City. This descriptive observational experimental study involved households selected through incidental sampling during routine Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) activities. Participants received training on installing simple ovitraps made from various household materials, which were monitored over one to two weeks. Entomological outcomes were assessed using CI and ABJ, supported by environmental observations and household interviews. The results revealed that all ovitrap types successfully detected mosquito larvae, with mineral water containers showing the highest Container Index (12.5%). This intervention led to an increase in ABJ, indicating improved mosquito control practices. The integration of behavioral self-awareness tools with low-cost entomological surveillance offers a promising model for community empowerment in DHF prevention. These findings suggest that collaborative efforts between communities and local health stakeholders can strengthen sustainable and environmentally friendly vector control strategies, particularly in endemic urban settings.

Abstract

Previous studies on diving-related paralysis have largely focused on recreational or industrial diving, leaving a critical gap in understanding the knowledge-based risk factors affecting traditional compressor divers in informal, high-risk work environments. This study addresses that gap by examining the association between safety knowledge and paralysis incidence among traditional compressor divers in Menara Indah Village, Selayar Regency, Indonesia. Using a case-control design, 44 male respondents were purposively selected, consisting of 22 cases (with diving-induced paralysis) and 22 controls (without paralysis). Data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using Odds Ratio (OR) and Population Attributable Risk (PAR). The results revealed that divers with poor safety knowledge had 5.4 times higher odds of experiencing paralysis than those with adequate knowledge. Furthermore, the PAR value of 66.44% indicates that two-thirds of paralysis cases in this population could potentially be prevented through improved safety education. These findings underscore the importance of culturally appropriate, community-based safety training to mitigate health risks in informal marine labor sectors. This study contributes novel empirical evidence to support the integration of public health education within occupational safety frameworks, particularly in underserved coastal communities where traditional diving practices remain widespread and underregulated.
