Abstract

Waste management is an environmental issue that requires active community participation, including students as agents of change. One effective approach is the implementation of a Waste Bank, which not only reduces waste generation but also increases environmental awareness through the 3R practice. Good knowledge of waste management is believed to encourage more positive behavior, so this study aims to analyze the relationship between increased knowledge and waste management behavior among students majoring in Environmental Health at the Padang Ministry of Health Polytechnic. The study used a cross-sectional design with 140 students as samples through total sampling. Data were obtained using a questionnaire that was measured. knowledge before and after the educational intervention as well as waste management behavior. The analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that of the 78 students who experienced an increase in knowledge, 57 (73.1%) had good waste management behavior. Meanwhile, in the group of students whose knowledge level remained the same (62 students), only 35 people (56.5%) exhibited good behavior. This finding indicates that students who experienced an increase in knowledge tended to have better waste management behavior than those who did not experience any change in knowledge. The Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.040, which means there is a significant relationship between increased knowledge and waste management behavior. In conclusion, increased knowledge contributes positively to students' waste management behavior. It is recommended that educational institutions strengthen education and the practice of waste banks on an ongoing basis, as well as develop collaborative programs to raise environmental awareness.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia is currently experiencing a demographic bonus, with the productive age population accounting for 69.3% of the total population. While this presents an economic opportunity, it poses significant challenges to the health sector due to an epidemiological transition toward Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs), which contribute to 74% of global mortality. Objective: This study aims to analyze the impact of the demographic bonus on the shifting health risk profiles of the productive age group and its implications for claim trends and the sustainability of the health insurance system in Indonesia. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the Google Scholar database. The search strategy employed keywords related to demographics, NCDs, and health financing, with a publication filter for the last ten years (2016–2026). Data were analyzed using a descriptive narrative approach to synthesize relevant findings. Results: The findings indicate that the dominance of the productive age population, coupled with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, has triggered a rise in chronic disease prevalence requiring long term medical management. This shift directly correlates with a surge in healthcare service utilization and claim burdens within the National Health Insurance (JKN) scheme. However, current insurance benefit designs remain heavily focused on curative services (85.4%), while promotive preventive efforts at primary care facilities remain suboptimal. The imbalance between increased utilization and financing capacity potentially threatens risk pool stability and risks financial deficits. Conclusion: The demographic bonus may become an economic burden without an adaptive health system transformation. Strengthening promotive preventive policies and innovative chronic disease management are essential to control medical costs. Cross sector synergy is crucial to ensure a healthy productive age population and the long term sustainability of the JKN program.

Abstract

The efficiency and effectiveness of health services represent one of the critical aspects in the management of public services, particularly in budget utilization and the implementation of health programs. Numerous studies indicate that performance-based budgeting and quality control of health services exert a significant influence on enhancing accountability as well as service quality within public service institutions. This literature review was conducted to evaluate the implementation of efficiency and effectiveness policies in health services through a performance-based budgeting approach and quality control of health services. The study employs a literature review method, with data sources obtained from Google Scholar and Garuda. The articles utilized are scientific journals addressing performance-based budgeting, service effectiveness, performance accountability, and quality control of health services. The findings of the review demonstrate that performance-based budgeting is capable of improving the effectiveness of service management and the accountability of public service institutions. Furthermore, quality control of health services, strengthening of reporting systems, and information technology support also contribute to the enhancement of service quality. Nevertheless, policy implementation continues to face several obstacles, including low human resource capacity, weak internal control mechanisms, and the suboptimal integration of reporting systems.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global public health problem with a high disease burden, including in Indonesia, which ranks second worldwide. Active case finding through household contact screening is an essential strategy for TB control; however, its implementation is influenced by various factors. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing pulmonary TB screening among household contacts of TB patients in the working area of Nambo Primary Health Center, Kendari City, in 2025. This study employed an analytic survey with a case-control design. The sample consisted of 54 respondents, including 27 cases and 27 controls, selected using total sampling. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and binary logistic regression. The findings revealed a significant association between healthcare worker support (p=0.002; Exp(B)=6.525) and knowledge (p=0.015; Exp(B)=5.292) with pulmonary TB screening. Meanwhile, family support (p=0.406), were not significantly associated. Multivariate analysis indicated that healthcare worker support was the most dominant factor influencing TB screening among household contacts. The results highlight the crucial role of healthcare workers in improving screening compliance through education, assistance, and motivation. In addition, enhancing the knowledge of household contacts is essential to support early TB detection. Therefore, strengthening health promotion strategies and increasing the active involvement of healthcare workers in TB control programs at the primary healthcare level are highly recommended.

Abstract

The family plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving its members’ health, particularly during adolescence, a period characterized by vulnerability to various health behaviors and issues. However, several issues remain prevalent, including inadequate menstrual hygiene and handwashing practices, smoking behavior within the family, and suboptimal management of gastritis. These conditions highlight the importance of a family nursing approach to enhance family independence in managing health. This final scientific paper aimed to describe the process of family nursing care for a family with an adolescent experiencing health problems related to menstrual hygiene, handwashing practices, smoking behavior, and gastritis. Based on the assessment conducted from December 30, 2025 to January 1, 2026, in Gampong Lam Ujong, Darussalam Sub-district, Aceh Besar Regency, three priority nursing diagnoses were established collaboratively with the family: ineffective family health management related to menstrual hygiene and handwashing practices, risk-prone health behavior in the form of smoking, and ineffective health management related to gastritis. Interventions were developed based on the five family health tasks. Interventions for the first diagnosis focused on improving menstrual hygiene practices and the six-step handwashing technique. The second diagnosis focused on education regarding the dangers of smoking, teaching the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT), and creating a smoke-free environment. The third diagnosis included health education on gastritis, promoting regular eating patterns, reducing consumption of instant foods, and applying deep-breathing relaxation techniques and warm compresses. Evaluation results indicated improvements in knowledge, changes in attitude, and the family’s ability to implement clean, healthy lifestyle behaviors, support smoking cessation efforts, and engage in more structured self-management of gastritis. Community health centers are expected to strengthen family-based education and support programs to promote sustained improvements in health status

Abstract

Household waste management remains one of the environmental health problems commonly found in rural communities. Improper waste management can cause environmental pollution and increase the risk of public health problems. This study aimed to describe household waste management in Sama Subur Village, Motui District, North Konawe Regency. This research was a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. The study was conducted in January 2026 involving 46 household heads selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires and observation sheets. The variables studied included the availability of household trash bins, separation of organic and inorganic waste, main methods of waste disposal, frequency of waste disposal, barriers to waste management, and disturbances caused by waste. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented in frequency distribution tables and percentages. The results showed that most respondents used open trash bins (78.3%), never separated organic and inorganic waste (76.1%), and disposed of waste by burning (84.8%). Most respondents disposed of waste daily (54.3%). The main barrier to waste management was the absence of waste collection services (60.9%). Most respondents reported no disturbances caused by waste (82.6%). The study concluded that household waste management in Sama Subur Village is still not optimal and requires improved facilities and community education regarding proper and healthy waste management.

Abstract

Organizational culture is an important element in creating a conducive work environment, particularly for healthcare professionals such as nurses. In mental hospitals, organizational culture not only reflects individual perceptions, but also shared values, collective behavior, and interaction patterns that influence the quality of healthcare services. This study aimed to describe the organizational culture among nurses at Aceh Mental Hospital. This study used a quantitative descriptive survey design. The sample consisted of 148 inpatient nurses selected using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using an organizational culture questionnaire developed based on the organizational culture dimensions proposed by Robbins and Judge, including innovation and risk-taking, attention to detail, outcome orientation, people orientation, team orientation, aggressiveness, and stability. The instrument had undergone content validity through expert judgment and construct validity testing, with Cronbach’s Alpha values ≥0.765 indicating good reliability. The results showed that most nurses had a good perception of organizational culture (92.6%). All subvariables were categorized as good, with the highest percentage in stability (92.6%) and the lowest in outcome orientation (86.5%). The findings indicate that organizational culture at Aceh Mental Hospital has generally developed positively and is supported by collaborative work culture, organizational stability, and the characteristics of nurses. However, this study was limited to descriptive analysis and still has the potential for response bias due to self-report measurement.

Abstract

Endek woven fabric is one of the artistic treasures of Indonesian culture. One of the processes in the production of woven fabric is the midang process, which involves winding threads onto a loom frame through repetitive layering and stacking of aligned threads. The midang process requires precision, speed, and repetition; the work is monotonous and performed while standing. To produce two to four midang results, artisans require two days. The method used was quantitative descriptive analysis, calculating the percentage (%) of questionnaire results using the Nordic Body Map questionnaire and 30 items of subjective fatigue measured on a four-point Likert scale, averaged from 20 midang artisans. The study results indicate an 83.8% increase in musculoskeletal complaints and a 67.0% increase in work-related fatigue following the work period, indicating that standing work postures affect workers’ conditions. Working in a standing position for prolonged periods on a regular basis can cause foot pain, swelling of the soles, lower back pain, and pain in the neck and shoulders. This can lead to cumulative trauma disorders (CTD). To reduce these issues, short breaks are needed between the morning and afternoon shifts. Short breaks can help minimize complaints while using the midang tool.
