Abstract

Sweetened beverages are drinks that contain high amounts of calories and sugar but provide little to no significant nutritional value. Limited public awareness, including among elementary school students, regarding the health risks associated with consuming sweet and artificially colored drinks may contribute to increased consumption habits. This behavior can raise the risk of various health problems, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and kidney failure. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education on students’ knowledge regarding the dangers of consuming sweetened and colored beverages. This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study involved 90 respondents selected through the Total Sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through univariate and bivariate methods using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before receiving health education, most respondents had a moderate to low level of knowledge. After the intervention, students’ knowledge improved significantly, with the majority achieving a good level of knowledge. Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect of health education on students’ knowledge. Therefore, health education was found to be effective in increasing students’ understanding of the dangers of consuming sweetened and colored beverages.

Abstract

Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease and remains a public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in the Province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). This study aims to historically examine the Extraordinary Events (KLB) of rabies in NTT during the 2022–2024 period, including epidemiological patterns, case trends, distribution, and risk factors influencing the spread of the disease. The method used is a literature study with data sources from scientific journals, official reports, and related publications obtained through Google Scholar and PubMed databases. The study results indicate that rabies in NTT has been developing since 1997 and has become endemic in several regions, with a significant increase in cases in 2023 that met the KLB criteria. The trend of rabies-transmitting animal bites (GHPR) shows an increase from 12,721 cases in 2022 to 30,317 cases in 2024. The highest case distribution is found in the child age group, particularly 5–9 years old. As well as areas with a high dog population density. Major risk factors include low dog vaccination coverage, high animal mobility, low public knowledge, and limited access to health services. Control efforts through a One Health approach have been carried out, but they have not been optimal in breaking the chain of transmission.
