Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Southeast Asia has the highest prevalence of pulmonary TB globally (45.6%), with Indonesia ranking second worldwide (9.2%). West Java Province accounts for the largest share of cases in Indonesia, representing 23% of the national total. According to the 2023 Global TB Report, the estimated number of TB cases in Indonesia reached 1,090,000, or 387 per 100,000 population. This study aims to map and describe the spatial distribution of pulmonary TB prevalence as well as risk factors, including nutritional status, smoking habits, and household contact in West Java Province using a Geographic Information System (GIS). The study design employed a quantitative analytical approach using a cross-sectional ecological method, utilizing secondary data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) across 27 districts/cities in West Java Province. Spatial analysis was conducted using QGIS for mapping. The results showed that the distribution of pulmonary TB was dominated by the low category (<0.3%) in 14 areas, the moderate category (0.4–0.7%) in 11 areas, and the high category (>0.8%) in 2 areas. The risk factors of malnutrition and smoking were dominated by the moderate category, while household contact was dominated by the low category. The distribution patterns of risk factors do not always align with the distribution of pulmonary TB, indicating the presence of multidimensional influences. This mapping provides a foundation of information for more targeted pulmonary TB control interventions.

Abstract

Background: The Waruroyom Community Health Center has implemented the E-Puskesmas application as an information system to support recording, service data management, and health reporting. Initial observations revealed constraints such as network disruptions, suboptimal data input processes, and differences in users' ability to operate the system, which affected health workers' satisfaction. Methods: This research used a quantitative descriptive approach with a population of 47 health workers at Waruroyom Community Health Center, all of whom were included as samples (total sampling). Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire based on the six dimensions of the PIECES method. Results: All six PIECES dimensions fell within the satisfied category, with mean scores ranging from 3.83 to 4.10. The Information dimension obtained the highest mean (4.10), while the Performance dimension obtained the lowest mean (3.83). The highest satisfaction indicator across all dimensions was information accuracy (89.3%), while the lowest was the indicator of systems rarely experiencing errors (44.6%). Discussion: The strength of E-Puskesmas lies in its information quality, while technical stability remains a primary challenge. Conclusions: Health workers at Waruroyom Community Health Center are satisfied with E-Puskesmas in all six PIECES dimensions. Improvements are needed particularly in the Performance dimension, especially in minimizing system errors and strengthening technical support services.

Abstract

Background: Antibiotics are essential medicines for treating bacterial infections; however, inappropriate use has become a major driver of the global rise in antibiotic resistance, leading to reduced treatment effectiveness, increased healthcare costs, and higher mortality risk. In Indonesia, resistance to various classes of antibiotics, such as β-lactams and macrolides, has increased significantly in recent years. Prior studies indicate that public knowledge levels substantially contribute to irrational antibiotic use. Puskesmas, as primary healthcare facilities, play a strategic role in education and health promotion regarding prudent antibiotic use. Methods: This descriptive observational study employed a questionnaire to assess patients’ knowledge of antibiotic use at Puskesmas Makkasau. Respondents were selected through convenience sampling, and data were analyzed using frequency distributions to identify knowledge levels. Result: The findings show that most respondents exhibited inadequate knowledge and inappropriate attitudes toward antibiotic use. Conclusion: The majority of visitors to Puskesmas Makkasau had low levels of knowledge about antibiotic use, with persistent misconceptions, such as believing antibiotics cure viral infections; and common practices of sharing, storing, and using antibiotics without a physician’s prescription.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) was still a major public health challenge in Indonesia, a country that bore the second‑highest global burden of the disease. Cases among toddlers continued to be a significant public health concern because of their greater vulnerability to infection. The rising prevalence of pediatric TB, along with its complex risk factors, highlighted the need to identify the main determinants driving TB occurrence in this age group. The present study investigated factors associated with TB in toddlers across all 38 provinces of Indonesia. Data from the 2024 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) were used in the analysis, and survey weights were applied following official SSGI guidelines. A cross‑sectional design was adopted, and the sample consisted of 246,338 toddlers. The dependent variable was TB occurrence, whereas the independent variables included child age, nutritional status, stunting, BCG vaccination status, history of exposure to TB patients, low birth weight, employment status of both parents, and household density. Data analysis was carried out in three stages: univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using simple logistic regression, and multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression. Results from the bivariate analysis indicated that nutritional status, stunting, BCG vaccination, TB exposure history, and low birth weight were significantly associated with TB occurrence. In the multivariate model, a history of TB contact was identified as the most dominant determinant, yielding a prevalence odds ratio (POR) of 46.62 (95% CI: 37.13–58.54).

Abstract

The low level of reproductive health literacy among adolescents and psychosocial barriers such as shame and taboos pose significant challenges to health education in school settings. This study aims to analyze the empowerment of female students as peer educators and its impact on reproductive health knowledge, attitudes, and skills using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The research utilizes an design within a PAR framework. Qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 6 key informants, while quantitative data were collected from 40 students in grades X and XI at SMK Kesehatan Dharma Analitika Medan via and questionnaires. Quantitative analysis employed the and the with a 95% significance level. The results indicate a significant improvement in knowledge and skills (p = 0.000) and positive attitude changes (p = 0.000) following the intervention. Student involvement throughout the PAR cycles effectively reduced communication barriers and increased a sense of ownership toward the program. In conclusion, the PAR-based peer educator approach is effective in enhancing reproductive health competencies and empowering adolescents as agents of change. Integrating this model into the PIK-R program is recommended to support the sustainability of health education in schools.

Abstract

Malnutrition remains a public health challenge in Indonesia because it impacts growth and development, and increases the risk of child morbidity and mortality. The causes of malnutrition are multifactorial, including direct and indirect factors. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the incidence of malnutrition in toddlers in South Kalimantan Province. This study is a secondary data analysis using data sources from the 2023 South Kalimantan Provincial Health Profile, with 13 districts/cities as analysis units. The dependent variable is the percentage of malnutrition in toddlers, while the independent variables include the percentage of low birth weight (LBW), exclusive breastfeeding, and pneumonia. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the enter and backward methods. The results showed that only the variable of exclusive breastfeeding had a significant effect on the incidence of malnutrition (p <0.05), with a negative coefficient indicating that increasing the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding can reduce the incidence of malnutrition. Meanwhile, the variables of low birth weight (LBW) and pneumonia did not show a significant effect. The conclusion of this study is that exclusive breastfeeding is a factor that can reduce the risk of malnutrition in toddlers, so mothers are advised to exclusively breastfeed without additional food or drink until the baby is six months old to ensure optimal nutritional needs are met.

Abstract

The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) is a leading instrument for assessing symptom severity and functional status in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), yet evidence of its validity among dentists in Indonesia remains limited. This cross-sectional study involved 55 dentists with confirmed CTS (positive Phalen and Tinel tests) in Samarinda who self-administered the Indonesian version of the BCTQ (11-item Symptom Severity Scale and 8-item Functional Status Scale). Construct validity was tested using Pearson correlation and internal reliability using Cronbach’s alpha. Subjects comprised 44 females (80.0%) and 11 males (20.0%) with a mean age of 44.7 years. All 11 Symptom Severity Scale items had correlation coefficients of 0.486–0.789 (p<0.01) and the 8 Functional Status Scale items 0.492–0.827 (p<0.01), all exceeding the critical r table value (0.266). Cronbach’s alpha was 0.884 for the Symptom Severity Scale and 0.870 for the Functional Status Scale, both classified as excellent. Therefore, the Indonesian version of the BCTQ is valid and reliable for use among dentists with CTS and is recommended as a screening and treatment outcome evaluation tool in this high-risk population.
