Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent girls are prone to nutrition-related problems, ranging from anaemia, SEZ, undernutrition and overnutrition. Currently, more interventions are conducted on school-aged adolescents, while adolescents who are no longer in school have not been addressed. Implementation of interventions in the community, such as youth organisations and religious organisations, not only in schools. This can increase accessibility and participation among adolescents who are not in formal education young women-based social organisations can be involved in interventions to prevent adolescent malnutrition through a mentoring model. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of organisation-based mentoring on improving knowledge, this study aims to analyse the differences in knowledge, practice of malnutrition prevention in the form of measurement of calorie adequacy and iron intake. Methods: This research design is a quasi-experimental pre and post-test with a control group. This study was conducted on 189 adolescent girls, which were divided into an intervention group of 98 people and a control group of 91 people. Respondents were taken by purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. The study was conducted for 10 weeks. Data were obtained by structured interviews. Data were analysed using paired t test and wilcoxon, while between group analysis with manwithney. Results: The results showed that there was a difference between knowledge, behaviour before and after the intervention between the treatment group and the control group with p < 0.05. There was a significant increase in knowledge, attitude and behaviour in the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: Community organisation-based mentoring has been shown to be effective in improving adolescent health. It is necessary to strengthen regulations in regulating the role of community organisations, especially adolescents, through structured assistance and education for vulnerable groups including adolescents. The results of the study can be duplicated to be implemented in other organisations that focus on adolescents.

Abstract

Introduction: Healthcare for patients in pasung is often neglected. Limited data is available on the roles of Primary Health Centres (PHCs) as the main providers of primary care in Indonesia. This research aims to explore health services provided for patients in pasung at PHCs and to identify the roles of pharmacists. Methods: This descriptive qualitative research used in-depth interviews with a range of stakeholders [i.e., patients in pasung (n=14) or the representative family caregivers (n=12), mental health nurses (n=5), pharmacists (n=5)] at 5 PHCs in Trenggalek, Indonesia from May to July 2023. Inductive thematic analysis was used to address the research questions. Ethical approval was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee of Universitas Surabaya (number 130/KE/V/2023), and participants provided written informed consent. Results: Patients in pasung have generally had adequate access to PHCs with no charge for their treatments. Health services provided for patients in pasung at PHCs were categorised into two main themes: outpatient services (i.e., medication supply, and home-care), and referral to inpatient services. Pharmacists’ roles have largely related to drug supply, while clinical pharmacy services have been very limited (e.g., providing drug information when patients obtained their medications at the pharmacy units). Conclusion: In conclusion, findings in this study have provided a baseline for future development of mental healthcare for patients in pasung. Pharmacists have the potential to take up more clinical roles to ensure quality use of medicines among patients in pasung. Supporting policy and resources should be allocated for PHCs to expand pharmacist’s services.

Abstract

Introduction: Atomic Habits Parenting focuses on small, consistent actions by caregivers to detect and prevent stunting in children. A valid and reliable instrument is essential for early detection and effective prevention. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Atomic Habits Parenting instrument and its association with stunting prevention in children under five. This method differs from others as the consistent daily practice of small habits leads to a 37-fold improvement over one year. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Jeneponto, Barru, and Sinjai Districts of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, involving 900 children aged 0-59 months. Data were collected from February to August 2024. Validity and reliability were assessed using Cronbach's alpha, sensitivity, and specificity with ROC analysis, and the association with stunting was measured using the Chi-Square test. Results: The instrument demonstrated high reliability with Cronbach's alpha values above 0.8 for all parenting practices. ROC analysis showed excellent sensitivity (75.6%) and specificity (82.3%) at a threshold score of 313.5. A significant association was found between Atomic Habits Parenting and stunting prevention (p<0.001). Conclusion: The Atomic Habits Parenting instrument is valid and reliable, with strong sensitivity and specificity. It is significantly associated with the prevention of stunting in children under five, making it a valuable tool for public health programs. Adapting this approach globally in high-stunting regions (>20%) could support a sustainable stunting reduction roadmap.

Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this work is to study a certain number of criteria to meet the expectations of healthcare services seeking to improve the availability of pharmaceutical products. Methods: Regarding the data collection method, we conducted a survey. The latter was intended for healthcare services. The questionnaire was validated by a team of hospital pharmacists and managers. To develop our questionnaire, we used the Sphinx tool, and for the quantitative data, we processed it on a computer using SPSS software. Results: The internal pharmacy management models of the two hospitals represent several differences but also several similarities. Two major differences can be noted, the first one is the supply model that is based on annual markets for AMSS hospitals versus negotiated and just-in-time purchases for private hospitals. The second one is the hospital central pharmacy healthcare service procurement model. Conclusion: Following the multiple changes currently affecting the health care sector, hospital structures must optimize their management to reduce expenses while guaranteeing the safety and quality of care administered to patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental and oral health issues remain a global challenge, with rising dental caries cases, particularly in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa and Indonesia, where 57.6% of the population is affected. Among Indonesian children aged 3-9, caries and toothache are prevalent, highlighting the need for early plaque detection and targeted interventions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of disclosing solution gel formulated from Karamunting fruit (Melastoma malabathricum L.) as a dental plaque identifier in children attending the Special Education School under the Surabaya Foundation for Children with Disabilities. Methods: This study utilized a quasi-experimental design using a post-test with a control group framework. A total of 24 respondents were selected through random sampling and divided into four groups. The first three groups were given Karamunting fruit gel at concentrations of 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% respectively, while the fourth group received a chemically-based disclosing solution as the control. This design allowed for a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the natural and chemical formulations in detecting dental plaque. Results: The result of the analysis, conducted by using Kruskal-Wallis revealed a p-value of 0.004 (<0.05) indicating a statistically significant effectiveness among Karamunting gel concentrations of 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% when compared to chemically-based disclosing solution. These findings demonstrate that Karamunting gel is effective in identifying dental plaque, with its efficacy varying significantly according to the concentration used. Conclusion: The disclosing solution gel derived from Karamunting fruit (Melastoma malabathricum L.) showed a potential as an effective alternative for dental plaque notification.

Abstract

Introduction: The government targets a significant reduction in antibiotic resistance by 2030 through wise antibiotic management, including implementing the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for Health Providers in Non-Pneumonia acute respiratory infections (ISPA) and Non-specific Diarrhea in Primary Healthcare Centre (Puskesmas). However, the readiness and acceptance of Health Providers to CDSS need to be evaluated. This study evaluates the readiness and acceptance of doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, and pharmacists' assistants in Puskesmas using CDSS. Methods: The method used was a cross-sectional quantitative survey with snowball sampling of 185 respondents at the Probolinggo Puskesmas in July-August 2024. The questionnaire was developed based on a combination of the Technology Readiness Index and the Technology Acceptance Model (TRAM), and the data was analyzed using SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares). Result: This study revealed that optimism contributed positively to the perception of ease of use (PEOU) and perception of benefits (PU) of CDSS. Innovation also contributed positively to PEOU, but not significantly to PU. Optimism increases PEOU and PU, while innovation only increases PEOU. Although innovation is insignificant to PU, it has a more significant impact on PEOU than optimism. Conclusion: These findings also show that PU affects the attitude of Health Providers to use CDSS (? = 0.286, p < 0.001) but does not directly affect behavioral intentions (? = 0.081, p = 0.250). PEOU significantly affected PU (? = 0.617, p < 0.001) and attitude (? = 0.661, p < 0.001). Attitudes towards CDSS greatly influenced the behavioral intentions of healthcare providers to use it (? = 0.851, p < 0.001), making it a strong predictor of CDSS adoption. The integration of TRI and TAM in predicting the readiness of Health Providers has proven helpful in understanding the factors of CDSS adoption in Puskesmas. These findings highlight the importance of training for health providers to improve CDSS readiness and acceptance. In addition, the results of this study can be the basis for policy development in implementing CDSS Primary Healthcare Centers to support a more rational use of antibiotics.

Abstract

Introduction: Several studies on tuberculosis (TB) using spatial and time clustering analyses have been conducted in Indonesia, however none have specifically focused on regions characterized by diverse topography. This study aimed to identify geospatial clusters of TB cases in West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, an area known for its topographic variability. Methods: An ecological study design was employed. TB case data, including bacteriologically confirmed and clinically diagnosed cases, were obtained from the Tuberculosis Information System (Sistem Informasi Tuberkulosis, SITB) of the West Sulawesi Provincial Health Office, covering the period from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023. Spatial visualization was performed using QGIS version 3.40.0. Cluster detection and spatial pattern analysis were conducted using SaTScan version 10.2.5. Results: TB cases in West Sulawesi formed clusters. A total of 17 clusters were identified—4 primary (most likely) clusters and 13 secondary clusters. In 2020, the primary cluster was located in Bambang Village, Bambang Subdistrict. In 2021, the primary cluster was in Lambanan Village, Mamasa Subdistrict. In 2022, the primary cluster was in Ulumambi Barat Village, Bambang Subdistrict, and in 2023, the primary cluster was again in Lambanan Village, Mamasa Subdistrict. Conclusion: This study found that the most likely TB clusters from 2020 to 2023 were consistently located in the eastern part of West Sulawesi Province, specifically in Mamasa Regency, an area characterized by mountainous terrain. This suggests that various environmental, social, and economic factors unique to mountain communities may influence TB transmission dynamics. The findings highlight the need for geographically tailored intervention strategies, including mobile TB services, community-based education, enhanced surveillance systems, the establishment of local TB support networks, and improved healthcare infrastructure adapted to mountainous areas. Future research should consider integrating genotypic, molecular, and geospatial approaches to advance global TB control efforts.

Abstract

Introduction: Contact dermatitis is a common health issue among fishermen caused by exposure to harsh working environments, including seawater, chemicals, and suboptimal use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Factors such as personal hygiene, history of skin diseases, and access to clean water can influence the incidence of contact dermatitis. The novelty of this study is combining environmental sanitation and occupational health factors of fishermen that influence contact dermatitis, which have previously been studied only partially. The results of this study also found that the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) variable acts as a moderating factor influencing contact dermatitis. This study aims to investigate the causal relationships between personal hygiene, history of skin diseases, PPE use, and access to clean water with the incidence of contact dermatitis among fishermen on Barrang Lompo Island. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analysed the relationships between personal hygiene, skin disease history, PPE use, and access to clean water. SEM effectively evaluates interactions among latent variables, offering a robust approach to occupational health issues and providing insights into how individual and environmental factors influence dermatitis prevalence. Data were collected through structured interviews and validated questionnaires. Results: The analysis showed that personal hygiene and history of skin diseases had significant relationships with the incidence of dermatitis (p < 0.05). However, PPE use and access to clean water did not show a significant direct effect. Conclusion: Improving personal hygiene practices and targeted interventions for individuals with a history of skin diseases are essential for reducing contact dermatitis among fishermen. Education on proper hygiene techniques and optimizing PPE use are recommended for maximum protection.
