Abstract

This study utilized a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted from April to May 2024 at Royal Prima General Hospital, Medan. A total sampling technique was employed, including all 64 registered T2DM patients. Sociodemographic and knowledge data were collected via questionnaire and analyzed using univariate analysis to generate frequency distributions and percentages. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents were aged ≥45 years (62.5%), male (53.13%), had a low education level (≤9 years of schooling) (53.13%), and were unemployed (51.56%). Nevertheless, a majority of patients (62.5%) possessed a good level of knowledge regarding their disease. The profile of T2DM patients is consistent with that of a socioeconomically high-risk population. The high level of knowledge observed in the majority of patients may not guarantee optimal disease management due to potential structural and economic barriers. Therefore, intervention strategies for T2DM must be multifaceted, moving beyond education to address socioeconomic obstacles that impede the translation of knowledge into effective self-care behaviors.

Abstract

Humanity and other living organisms coexist within the environment. Rivers, as essential components of the environment, provide critical benefits for human survival, including supplying water for daily use, supporting fisheries, and facilitating water transportation. However, human activities frequently exert negative impacts on river ecosystems, such as the disposal of solid and industrial waste. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing community waste disposal practices in the Deli River, Petisah Village, in 2023. Employing a quantitative, descriptive-analytical cross-sectional survey design, the study population comprised 250 residents residing along the Deli River, from which a sample of 154 participants was selected through simple random sampling. Bivariate analyses were conducted using the Chi-square test. The findings demonstrate significant associations between waste disposal behavior and knowledge (p=0.004), attitude (p=0.004), practices (p<0.001), and infrastructure (p=0.008). Furthermore, logistic regression analysis identified infrastructure as the strongest predictor of waste disposal behavior, indicating that inadequate infrastructure increases the likelihood of respondents disposing of waste into the river.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, including the city of Medan. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, demographic distribution (by sex and age group), and mortality rates of DHF in Medan from 2021 to 2024. This study used secondary data from reports provided by the Medan City Health Office, which compiled information from all public health centers (Puskesmas) in the region. Analysis of the data revealed that the pediatric age group (5–14 years) was the most affected population. The distribution of cases showed a relatively balanced proportion between males and females. DHF mortality rates fluctuated annually, with a notable downward trend observed in 2024. These findings underscore the critical need to strengthen DHF prevention and control programs, with a specific focus on vulnerable age groups and high-incidence areas. This study is expected to serve as a foundational resource for public health policy planning and to enhance the capacity of primary healthcare services to effectively manage DHF cases.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic non-communicable disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin dysfunction. The use of herbal medicine has increased among patients with diabetes due to the widespread availability of information about herbal treatments globally. Many believe herbal remedies have minimal side effects and are more natural. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with the use of herbal medicine among DM patients at Puskesmas Kampung Baru, Medan Maimun District. This quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2025. The independent variables examined were age, education, income, knowledge, attitude, and belief, while the use of herbal medicine served as the dependent variable. The study population included all 809 registered DM patients at Puskesmas Kampung Baru. A sample of 189 was selected using a proportion difference test formula and a simple random sampling method. Bivariate data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results indicate that 164 (86.6%) respondents use herbal medicine. A significant association was found between herbal medicine use and age (p=0.019), income (p=0.000), knowledge (p=0.000), attitude (p=0.000), and belief (p=0.000). However, no significant association was found with education (p=0.089). Based on these findings, it is recommended that patients with diabetes mellitus receive counseling on the safe and evidence-based use of herbal medicine, with a strong emphasis on consulting healthcare professionals.

Abstract

This study aimed to characterize stunting among children under five years of age in Medan Belawan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, a sub-district with a high prevalence of this public health challenge. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, data were retrospectively collected from records of 40 stunted toddlers at the Belawan Community Health Center in 2024. The analysis examined maternal and parental characteristics, as well as the demographic and anthropometric profiles of the toddlers, including gender, age, weight, height, and nutritional status. The results indicated that the demographic profile was predominantly composed of mothers with lower educational attainment, most having completed only junior or senior high school. Parental occupations were mainly homemakers and fishermen, reflecting the local socioeconomic context. Stunting was more common among male toddlers (57.5%) and those in the older age group (2.6–5 years), who accounted for 70% of the sample. Anthropometric measurements confirmed the severity of stunting, with 55% of toddlers classified as severely stunted and a significant proportion identified as underweight or severely underweight. Despite the high prevalence of stunting, the majority of toddlers were classified as well-nourished based on weight-for-height indices, suggesting that chronic growth failure rather than acute malnutrition constitutes the primary nutritional concern. These findings underscore the multifactorial and complex nature of stunting in this vulnerable population, emphasizing the roles of socioeconomic and environmental determinants beyond mere caloric deficiency.

Abstract

Phytoremediation, a technique that employs plants to extract pollutants from soil and water, offers a promising solution for mitigating water contamination from liquid waste. This method is characterized by its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, high efficacy, and minimal environmental impact. It can also be aesthetically integrated into various settings to address pollution. A notable plant used in this process is the water hyacinth. Despite its rapid growth and classification as an invasive weed that can harm aquatic ecosystems, the water hyacinth possesses significant potential for environmental remediation. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group to evaluate the effectiveness of water hyacinth in reducing key pollutants. The study's primary objective was to quantify the reduction of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and phosphate levels in laundry liquid waste. A comparative analysis was conducted between an experimental group, where water hyacinth was utilized, and a control group. The study was conducted at the Environmental Health Engineering and Disease Control Center Class 1 Medan laboratory. Laundry wastewater was analyzed using spectrophotometry. The results indicated that phyto-aeration with water hyacinth was only able to achieve a 57% reduction in phosphate levels, decreasing the concentration from 1.52 mg/L to 0.65 mg/L. Further research is needed to optimize the phytoremediation process, particularly by increasing the remediation time and plant density. These modifications could potentially improve water quality by elevating dissolved oxygen (DO) levels and enhancing the biological degradation of pollutants.

Abstract

Researchers were interested in studying the impact of Community-based total sanitation on stunting in the service area of the Sei Bejangkar Health Center since the first survey indicated that 90 toddlers were stunted owing to the effects of inadequate sanitation. The study used a quantitative, cross-sectional methodology. This research was carried out near the Sei Bejangkar Health Center. All of the infants and toddlers in the puskesmas's operational region served as the study's population. Total sampling was used during the sampling process. Univariate, Bivariate, and Multivariate tests were utilized to analyze both main and secondary data in this study. Based on the data, it appears that there is no connection between the halt defecation movement and stunting in toddlers in the sei anchor health center's service area (P value of 0.529 or more than 0.05). Toddlers at the Sei Bejangkar Health Center are less likely to be stunted if open defecation is reduced. The p-value is 0.000, which means it's significantly larger than 0.05 (0.000 > 0.05).

Abstract

Katamso Fitness Centre is a gym surrounded by individuals aiming for an ideal and healthy physique. Members typically join to address less-than-ideal body weight and seek weight training to achieve their desired body shape—transforming from thin to muscular, or from overweight to lean, while also burning calories for overall health and fitness. This study employed a Chi-Square statistical test using SPSS for Windows, with a significance level of α=0.05. This analysis aimed to examine the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The research findings from 86 respondents indicate that the majority, 57 (66.3%), had a more ideal body shape. For diet patterns, the majority, 66 (76.7%), reported "sufficient." Regarding weight training, most respondents, 54 (62.8%), engaged in a "moderate" level.The relationship between diet patterns and ideal body shape among Katamso Fitness Centre members in Medan City showed a P-value of α>0.05, leading to the acceptance of Ha as significant. Conversely, the relationship between weight training and ideal body shape among members of the fitness center in Medan City showed a P-value of α<0.05, also leading to the acceptance of Ha as significant.
