Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the factors related to typhoid fever occurrence in the Musi River residential area in Seberang Ulu Palembang. Methods: Using a proportional cluster sampling technique, this quantitative study uses a case-control design with a population of 106 samples in the Musi River suburb of Seberang Ulu. Data analysis carried out in this study was univariate, bivariate, and multivariate. Results: The results of the study of the incidence of typhoid fever in the population of the Musi River region in Seberang Ulu showed a low socioeconomic (p-value = 0.032), low education (p-value = 0.015), individual hygiene (p-value = 0,000), using the toilet (p-value 0.025), clean water quality (p-value = 0.034), garbage storage facility (p-value = 0.006), fecal leasing facility (pvalue = 0.018) is related to the incidence of typhoid fever, age, gender, occupancy density is not relationship with the incidence of typhoid fever Based on the results of multivariate analysis, the variable waste disposal facility is the most influential variable with the Odds Ratio 3.557; 95% CI 0.951-13,229. Conclusions: It can be concluded that the waste disposal facilities in the Musi River suburb in Seberang Ulu are still not good and have become a dominant factor influencing the incidence of typhoid fever. Hence, it is advisable to carry out outreach efforts to increase environmental awareness and provide garbage disposal infrastructure to meet the requirements of a healthy environment. We are also looking for trash transport officers to transport to temporary landfills.

Abstract

Purpose: To assess mental health literacy, mental health conditions, and mental health factors among college students to support the implementation of Health Promoting University. Methods: This research utilized Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods using data collected from 431 college students and interviewed eight college students. The instrument used a self-report online questionnaire and a semi-structured interview guide. Data analysis used logistic regression and thematic analysis. Results: Almost half of the college students (48.96%) had low mental health literacy. In the amount of 61.95% of students had mental health problems. Factors that significantly had relationships with mental health were a child maltreatment history (AOR:2.46; 95%CI:1.62-3.73; p-value<0.001) and poor friends interaction (AOR:1.64; 95%CI:1.02-2.63; p-value=0.039) after adjusting for sex, mental health literacy, physical activity, allowance, habitation, and academic interaction. Mental health literacy in college students qualitatively does not recognize the specific types of mental health problems and mental health services. Qualitatively, mental health factors that were most mentioned were child maltreatment history, poor friend interaction, and environment. Conclusion: Almost half of the college students have low mental health literacy and do not recognize the types of mental health problems and mental health services. Mental health problems were common among college students. Campuses need to improve mental health literacy and an environment that supports mental health.

Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates the implementation of occupational safety and health (K3) in the informal sector of fishermen in Tanjung Kurung Village, Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir (PALI) Regency, South Sumatra Province. Methods: This qualitative research employs a case study approach. The research was conducted in Tanjung Kurung Village, PALI Regency. Informants included 22 individuals: nine fishermen, nine fishermen's wives, the head of the PALI regency health office, the manager of the UKK post program at the Health Office, the manager of the UKK Post Program at the Abab District Health Center, and the head of Tanjung Kurung Village. Data collection involved in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews. Results: Implementing K3 in the informal sector of fishermen in Tanjung Kurung Village has been inadequate. Factors influencing this include the persistence of unsafe K3 practices among fishermen, lack of support from relevant parties for K3 management, high K3 risks fishermen face, and the pre-prosperous welfare status of fishermen's families. Common accidents include boat collisions, injuries from fish spines and branches, threats from crocodiles and venomous snakes, machete injuries, and boat sinking due to overloading. Occupational diseases among fishermen include wounds on feet and hands, dermatitis, gastritis, fever, acute respiratory infections (ARI), skin fungi, allergies, and skin irritation. Conclusion: The proper implementation of K3 among fishermen is lacking, and occupational health programs in the informal sector are not prioritized. Consequently, related parties have made no special efforts to address occupational health issues for fishermen. Cooperation between fishermen and relevant parties is essential for improving occupational health efforts in the informal fishing sector.

Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between weather elements (such as rainfall, temperature, humidity, and sunshine duration) with cases of diarrhea, as well as to map the areas vulnerable to diarrhea in Yogyakarta City using data from 2017 to 2021. Methods: This study used an ecological study design with Graphical/Time Trend Analysis, correlations, non-linear analysis using the Generalized Additive Model (GAM), and spatial analysis. Results: Statistically, temperature lag of 0 - 3 months has a negative correlation (p-value < 0.05; rlag1= -0.672), and humidity lag of 0 - 3 months has a positive correlation (p-value < 0.05; rlag1= 0.414) with diarrhea. Severe cases of diarrhea, even during the COVID-19 pandemic, are still being brought to health services, suggesting a serious underlying cause, such as rotavirus infection. Further multivariate analysis showed that the most dominant weather element related to diarrhea was temperature lag for 3 months, with an R-squared value of 0.516. Diarrhea is distributed across sub-districts in Yogyakarta City, but there are six sub-districts with high vulnerability to diarrhea: Danurejan, Pakualaman, Jetis, Kotagede, Gedongtengen, and Gondomanan. Conclusions: The most dominant weather element related to diarrhea in Yogyakarta city is the temperature from the previous three months (lag 3). Danurejan, Pakualaman, Jetis, Kotagede, Gedongtengen, and Gondomanan sub-districts have high vulnerability to diarrhea.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines changes in patient visits before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in a public health center. Methods: Employing longitudinal descriptive research, data were extracted from the clinic's register book using purposive sampling at the Dental Polyclinic Tepus II at the Public Health Center in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. The study focused on patients receiving scaling, tooth extraction, and filling treatments, comparing data from ten months before and during the pandemic. Results: The analysis reveals a noticeable reduction in patient numbers during the pandemic, particularly for scaling treatments. Despite the decline, the clinic continued to offer dental services, with consistent visits for tooth extractions. Gender distribution and JKN payment methods remained unchanged. The most significant drop in patient visits occurred in the second month of the pandemic, with a gradual recovery to pre-pandemic levels by the 9th and 10th months. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic decreased patient visits, with the most affected service being scaling. Despite these challenges, the clinic upheld its commitment to providing essential dental care, adapting to the new normal, and recovering patient volumes to pre-pandemic figures.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the relationship between nutritional status and dietary diversity and the incidence of prehypertension and hypertension in women of reproductive age in Baleendah, Bandung Regency. Methods: The cross-sectional design, with primary data, was conducted from August to September 2023 in Baleendah Village, Bandung Regency, Indonesia. The study subjects were 50 women aged 15-49 years who registered at the Posyandu, had children aged 0-23 months, and had a history of hypertension, with the exclusion criteria being pregnant women. Nutritional status was measured using body weight with a digital scale and height with a SAGA multifunction tool. Food consumption data was collected through 24-hour dietary recall, and eating was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Blood pressure was measured using a blood pressure monitor. The Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) instrument measures dietary diversity diversity. The relationship between hypertension status and nutrient intake was analyzed using Spearman correlation tests applied due to non-normally distributed data. Results: There is a significant correlation between nutritional status and the incidence of prehypertension and hypertension in women of reproductive age (p-value=0.045). However, there is no significant correlation between dietary diversity and the incidence of prehypertension and hypertension in women of reproductive age (p-value=0.853). Conclusion: This study found a significant correlation between nutritional status, particularly obesity, and the incidence of prehypertension and hypertension in women of reproductive age, while dietary diversity showed no significant correlation. Economic and educational factors also played a role, with lower-income and less-educated respondents being more prone to hypertension. High consumption of fried snacks and high-sodium foods like salted fish and caffeine were associated with an increased risk of hypertension.

Abstract

Purpose: To explore the nutritional parenting practices and their determinant factors among beneficiaries of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Ruteng Sub-District. Methods: This study is qualitative research with a case study design using a snowball sampling technique. The primary informants of the study are parents of toddlers who are beneficiaries of the Family Hope Program. Data is collected through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies. Results: Incorrect timing of complementary feeding is still common, and lack of dietary variety and insufficient protein consumption are prevalent issues in the community. The behaviour of proper waste disposal remains very low; the attendance rate of parents at posyandu and receiving immunizations still needs to improve, at 71% or below the standard. Regarding the determinant factors of parenting practices, it is known that most mothers are over 35 years old, parents have a low educational level, and parents' occupations consume their time, large families, and husbands' limited involvement in child care, cultural and habitual factors are also known to influence the parenting practices. Conclusion: The nutritional parenting practices for toddlers among PKH beneficiaries in the Ruteng Sub-District still need to be improved, particularly in providing complementary feeding, feeding practices, hygiene and sanitation, and child healthcare maintenance. Several determinants influence these nutritional parenting practices, such as the mother's age, low educational level, parents' occupations, large family size, cultural factors, and low support from husbands in the child-rearing process.

Abstract

Purpose: Nitrosamines, chemical compounds formed from nitrites and amines, are gaining attention due to potential health risks. They are found in processed foods, such as cured meats, smoked fish, and fermented products, prompting a thorough examination of their sources and impact on health. This study aims to explore the nitrosamine content in food and its potential public health implications. Methods: This study employs a descriptive literature review methodology to investigate the impact of nitrosamine content in food on human health. It searches peer-reviewed journals, books, and online databases to identify relevant studies on food risk processing that contain nitrosamines and their impact on public health. Results: The review includes studies published over the past 20 years, focusing on nitrosamine content, nitrosamine formation processes, and health implications. Data from selected studies is systematically extracted and analyzed, focusing on patterns, risk factors, and health impacts, particularly in terms of cancer risk. Conclusion: This review found they pose significant public health risks, especially in meat products. Studies show a strong link between nitrosamine intake and increased risk of gastric and esophageal cancers. The detection and mitigation of nitrosamines are crucial, with more stringent regulations and improved testing techniques being needed in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
