Abstract

The issue of iodine deficiency is a historic threat that affects all regions of the world. Iodine is a critical element belonging to the halogens that is used to make vital hormones (thyroid hormones) for the proper functioning of the human or mammalian body. Iodine is obtained from the diet of either plant or animal origin or water. Iodine for plants uptake is obtained from soil, which is affected by the nature of the environment such as climate, locations, topography, iodine fixation potential, proximity to sea and relations. The failure of the proper iodine cycling spurs a poor intake by humans. Poor dietary intake of iodine occurs at different levels, but the entire complex dealing with poor iodine intake is termed as iodine deficiencies, such as goiter, cretinism, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism. Effects resulting from iodine deficiency are many and enormous. The iodine deficiency among other things affect the brain (nervous system functioning) probably because it affects the whole body metabolism when thyroid hormones are insufficient, and neurotransmitters and oxidative stress regulations are limited. It is important to deliberately educate the public, fortify foods properly, give iodine supplements, monitor iodine deficiencies, and utilize diverse foods; because IDD cause mental retardation among other things.

Abstract

The provision of healthcare services to patients in hospitals carries the potential for incidents and injuries. Implementing the six patient safety goals serves as an organized framework to establish a culture, processes, behaviors, and environment that ensure safety for patients, healthcare providers, and the surrounding community. The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of the six patient safety goals in hospitals. This research employed a systematic literature review using the PRISMA technique (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis). Literature searches were conducted using Google Scholar, with criteria for articles published between 2019 and 2024. The search terms included “Patient Safety Goals” AND “Hospitals.” Articles considered were original research discussing the six patient safety goals in full. A total of 2,250 articles were identified through Google Scholar, but only 12 articles met the inclusion criteria. Five articles specifically described the implementation of the six patient safety goals, while seven articles linked the goals to education, gender, work tenure, age, leadership, knowledge, work experience, and communication. In general, the implementation of patient safety goals adheres to the standards set by the Ministry of Health. However, improvements are needed in areas such as staff compliance and consistency, adequacy of facilities and infrastructure, as well as leadership support.

Abstract

This article discusses issues related to measles-rubella vaccination from the perspective of epidemiology, immunology, and ethical challenges faced. Measles and rubella are infectious diseases that have the potential to cause extraordinary events (KLB) throughout the world, including Indonesia. Although measles-rubella vaccination has been proven effective in reducing the incidence of the disease, challenges such as low vaccination coverage due to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine hesitancy, and ethical issues related to parental consent and equal access to vaccines are significant obstacles. Research shows that to achieve effective community immunity, a vaccination coverage of at least 95% is required. This article also describes the immunological processes involved in the response to measles and rubella infection and the importance of public health efforts in increasing awareness and access to vaccines. With a comprehensive and inclusive approach, it is hoped that existing challenges can be overcome and community participation in vaccination programs can be increased. Collaboration between the government, health institutions, and the community is essential to create a healthier and safer environment, ultimately supporting the goal of eliminating measles and rubella in the future.

Abstract

Smoking behavior among adolescents is a serious concern in public health efforts due to its long-term impact on health into adulthood. One of the main factors driving this behavior is peer influence, which plays a significant role in shaping habits and behavioral decisions, including smoking. At the Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences, Universitas Negeri Makassar, students who are expected to serve as role models for healthy behavior are frequently observed engaging in smoking activities, even within the campus environment. This phenomenon highlights the strong social influence within peer groups, making it essential to investigate the extent to which peer influence affects smoking behavior among students as an initial step in formulating effective interventions to create a smoke-free campus environment. The objective of this study was to analyze the role of peer influence on smoking behavior among students at the Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences, Universitas Negeri Makassar. This research employed a quantitative observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study utilized a simple random sampling technique, given the homogeneous nature of the population, with a total sample size of 281 participants. The results indicated a significant relationship between peer influence and smoking behavior among FIKK UNM students. The analysis revealed that students with peers who smoke were more likely to smoke themselves. Future researchers are advised to explore other factors, such as the duration of smoking habits in relation to the length of friendships among adolescent smokers.

Abstract

The Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) is an information technology platform that integrates all service workflows in a hospital to obtain precise and accurate information. The use of HMIS is considered essential for improving healthcare service quality and hospital operational efficiency. This study aims to explore the impact of HMIS on the efficiency and effectiveness of human resource (HR) performance in hospitals. The research employs a literature review method, collecting data from various relevant sources such as journals, books, and online resources, primarily from the last five years (2020–2024). The implementation of HMIS in hospitals has demonstrated improvements in HR performance efficiency and effectiveness. HMIS facilitates better data management, enhances coordination among work units, and accelerates healthcare service processes. However, effective implementation heavily relies on management support, workforce readiness, and the availability of adequate technological infrastructure. Investments in HMIS not only enhance HR performance but also contribute to the overall improvement of service quality for patients.

Abstract

Spiritual Wellbeing (SWB) is essential in palliative care for end-of-life (EoL) patients. However, its implementation in emergency settings is often overlooked despite the significant spiritual needs of patients at the end of life. This study aims to describe and explain the concept of SWB in EoL patients in the Emergency Setting. The study used a qualitative approach based on concept analysis of the literature. Data were collected from 18 relevant articles purposively selected from international databases (2020-2024). The analysis focused on the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of SWB through thematic evaluation and cross-referencing. The results showed that four main attributes of SWB were identified: relationship with higher power, inner peace, meaning of life, and active role of family and health workers. Antecedents of SWB included clergy and family support, while consequences included improved patient quality of life and reduced anxiety. These findings demonstrate the importance of integrating spiritual care into emergency setting practice. Holistic collaboration between patients, families and healthcare professionals is key to improving the spiritual wellbeing of EoL patients.

Abstract

Stunting is a developmental disorder that affects children under the age of five, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life, as a result of chronic malnutrition and repeated infections. The objective of this study is to examine the history of Low Birth Weight (LBW), gestational age, feeding practices, and immunization status in relation to the incidence of stunting in children under five years old in Southeast Minahasa District. This study used a quantitative case-control design. The sample consisted of 78 children, with 39 cases and 39 controls. The research instrument was a questionnaire. The case-control design employed the chi-square test, and the association measure calculated was the Odds Ratio, along with logistic regression analysis. The analysis technique included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. The univariate results showed that 69.2% had a history of LBW, 94.9% were born to mothers aged under 20 years, 59.0% had poor feeding practices, and 84.6% had incomplete immunization status. The bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between LBW (p=0.007), gestational age (p=0.008), feeding practices (p=0.006), and immunization status (p=0.041) with the occurrence of stunting. LBW was the most dominant factor associated with stunting, with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 3.922, p-value 0.013, and a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) of 1.336-11.512.

Abstract

The availability of clean water becomes difficult during a flood disaster, one of the simple technologies that has the potential to be developed in flood-proneareas is the Gravity Fed System (GFS). The aims of the study to know the influence media thickness in GFS efektivity to reduce TSS, TDS and Total coliform. This research uses an experimental design with a laboratory test approach to see the effect of varying filter media thickness on the effectiveness of GFS. Samples were taken from the Pewana river Rogo Village in Sigi Regency. Organoleptic tests showed a significant change in color and odor parameter, from cloudy to colorless and mud smell disappears after treatment. pH (7.2-8.1) and temperature (29-32 °C) still within a quality standard. The highest effectiveness develop in sample I with a media thickness of 25 cm (TSS 96 mg/L decreased to 10 mg/L and TDS 338 mg/L to 243 mg/L), the effectiveness of 72% and 27%. GFS is effective in improving the physical quality of water where all parameters have met quality standards after treatment. The thickness of the filter media has an effect on reducing the TSS and TDS parameter, but has no effect on decreasing total coliform. Media thickness needs to be increased to improve TDS and total coliform reduction efficiency.
