Abstract

Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from urban transportation present a critical challenge for air quality, public health, and environmental sustainability. East Jakarta, with its rapid motorization and chronic traffic congestion, serves as a case study for the broader impacts of urban CO pollution. This study investigates the correlation between CO levels and traffic density, providing empirical insights into the dynamics of transportation-driven air pollution in densely populated cities. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2024, measuring CO concentrations at 15 strategic locations using calibrated CO meters. Sampling sites were selected based on traffic volume, population exposure, and historical emission data to ensure a comprehensive urban representation. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality tests, and regression analysis to evaluate relationships between CO levels, traffic patterns, and supporting variables. Results: Findings revealed an average CO concentration of 6,665 µg/m³, with Jatinegara Kaum (15,380 µg/m³) and Duren Sawit (13,031 µg/m³) exceeding the government air quality threshold (10,000 µg/m³). A strong positive correlation (R² = 0.78, p < 0.05) was identified between traffic congestion and CO levels, confirming vehicular emissions as the dominant contributor. Moreover, no significant correlation with weather variables was observed, further emphasizing the role of transportation in shaping local air quality. Conclusion: These results underscore the urgent need for policy interventions, including the expansion of electric vehicle infrastructure, congestion pricing, and green urban planning. This study also highlights the necessity of integrating real-time air quality monitoring and AI-based traffic flow management to optimize pollution control efforts. By situating East Jakarta’s case within global urban air pollution trends, these findings offer scalable insights applicable to other rapidly urbanizing cities worldwide.

Abstract

Introduction: The complexity of stunting reduction interventions cannot be addressed by the government alone. The state appreciates contributions from all stakeholders, including the community. The Foster Parents for Stunting Children (BAAS) program provides a platform for stakeholder participation in accelerating stunting reduction. As a relatively new program, a review is needed to assess its impact. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the BAAS program in Takalar Regency in 2023. Methods: This study uses quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. Data analysis was conducted to determine how much the success measure of the BAAS program based on the target approach (output). In this study, the test used was the Wilcoxon signed rank test to see the impact (outcome) of how significant the program was to reduce the prevalence of stunting. Results: There is a statistically significant difference between the Z-score TB/U and BB/U before and after the BAAS program with a mean Z-score TB/U before the program of -2.78 and BB/U of -1.83 and a mean Z-score TB/U after the program of -0.40 and BB/U of -0.91. Based on the p-value of Z-score TB/U and BB/U showed a very small value for Z-score TB/U of 0.000 (<0.05). and BB/U of <0.001. This suggests that the program is effective for improving nutritional status and can reduce stunting and wasting in Takalar District. Conclusion: The BAAS Program successfully demonstrated its effectiveness in improving the nutritional status of children in Takalar District. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test results also showed a statistically significant difference between the Z-score values before and after the program with a p value <0.05, confirming that the BAAS Program is effective in improving nutrition and reducing stunting in Takalar District. BAAS is an effective intervention model with the potential for replication and expansion, serving as a reference for sustainable and inclusive community-based stunting prevention policies.

Abstract

Introduction: Bullying among teenagers is a pervasive issue with significant physical, mental, verbal, and psychological repercussions. Effective health education methods that captivate students' attention are essential for addressing such detrimental behaviours. This study assesses the effectiveness of animated videos as a tool to enhance high school students' understanding of bullying, using a case study from Karya Bakti Mamboro High School. The dynamic and visually engaging nature of animated videos offers a promising avenue for improving educational outcomes. Methods: A pre-experimental design was adopted, involving 31 students from Karya Bakti High School. Data collection was performed using identity forms and pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. The impact of the animated video intervention was evaluated through Univariate and Bivariate analysis. Results: The intervention significantly improved the students’ knowledge about bullying. Initially, 54.8% of students were in the "poor" knowledge category, which decreased to 58.1% achieving "sufficient" knowledge post-intervention. The paired t-test revealed a significant increase in the average knowledge scores from 52.58 to 75.16 post-intervention (Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000). Conclusion: Animated videos significantly enhance the understanding of bullying among high school students. This educational strategy not only improves knowledge but also engages students more effectively than traditional methods. The broader implications of this study suggest that incorporating such dynamic visual content into school curriculums or anti-bullying programs can play a critical role in mitigating bullying behavior. This method could potentially transform health education approaches, fostering a more interactive and impactful learning environment.

Abstract

Introduction: Introduction: Climate change has significant impacts on human health and has the potential to trigger the emergence of various diseases by changing temperature, rainfall, wind patterns, and sunlight exposure. These changes create environmental conditions that support the survival, reproduction, and spread of disease-causing agents, such as viruses and bacteria. Adaptation of disease agents to these changes increases the risk of disease spreading in the community. In addition, climate change also expands the range of some disease agents, which were previously limited to certain areas, thus having a wider impact. Low temperatures (10–25°C), high humidity (?70%), and limited sunlight (UV index <6) promote the environmental persistence of the monkeypox virus, whereas high temperatures (>30°C) and UV exposure (290–320 nm) accelerate its degradation, influencing transmission patterns and infection risk in humans and animals. Methods: This study examines the climate conditions that may support the development of monkeypox in Jakarta. The main focus of this study is to identify climate factors, such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall patterns, that allow the spread of monkeypox virus. Climate data are analyzed to understand how these conditions play a role in increasing the risk of monkeypox virus transmission, both from animals to humans and between humans. Results: Our findings indicate a minimum temperature of 27.96°C, a maximum of 33.74°C, and an average of 30.11°C. The average humidity was 74.21%. The duration of sunlight ranged from a minimum of 7.30 hours to a maximum of 9.60 hours. Conclusion: Climate factors are key triggers in the development of Monkeypox within the environment. Specific temperature and humidity levels can create favorable conditions for the spread of the Monkeypox virus in certain regions. Additionally, extreme climate fluctuations may influence the spread patterns and severity of the disease, underscoring the importance of understanding how environmental conditions affect the transmission of diseases like Monkeypox.

Abstract

Introduction: Disinfectants and antiseptics are integral components of hospital infection control policies; however, their overuse can lead to microbial resistance, a growing concern in healthcare settings. This study aims to analyze the consumption patterns of antiseptics and disinfectants across various departments of Tlemcen University Hospital Center (CHU), providing insights into their usage over a five-year period and helping inform strategies for more responsible use. Methods: Data on the consumption of Povidone iodine (PVI) and various disinfectants across 20 departments over a five-year period (2015–2019) were obtained from the pharmacy and relevant CHU departments. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25. Chi-square tests were employed to compare categorical data, and ANOVA was used to assess trends in consumption over time. Results: The results revealed a decline in PVI consumption to 13.5% in 2019, while disinfectant use increased by 29.1%, possibly due to a reduction in surgical procedures and an increase in medical admissions. Notably, consumption patterns varied across departments, with surgical services showing higher disinfectant use compared to medical services. Conclusion: Given the extensive use of antiseptics and disinfectants, we recommend implementing strategies to reduce their overuse, such as periodic audits of antimicrobial consumption and educational programs for healthcare professionals to mitigate the risk of microbial resistance.

The success of nurses in delivering caring and empathetic care can significantly influence patient loyalty, making it an essential focus for healthcare providers. Objective: This study aims to explore the factors influencing patient loyalty within a healthcare context. Methods: A cross-sectional design was utilized in this study, involving 144 inpatients selected through purposive random sampling from private and government hospitals. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square and ANOVA tests. Results: The analysis identified three factors significantly correlated with patient loyalty: Caring Behavior of Nurses: p < 0.0001, Education: p < 0.007, Marital Status: p < 0.001. The most influential factor was the caring behavior of nurses, with effect sizes indicating a strong relationship. In contrast, demographic factors such as age and gender did not show a significant correlation with patient loyalty. Conclusion: The findings highlight that the most significant determinant of patient loyalty is the caring behavior of nurses, followed by education and marital status. To enhance patient loyalty and overall healthcare quality, it is crucial to strengthen nurse training programs that focus on empathy and caring behaviors. Additionally, implementing services tailored to patients’ demographic characteristics can further improve loyalty. These insights can guide policymakers and practitioners in developing targeted training and healthcare policies that prioritize compassionate care, ultimately benefiting patient satisfaction and retention.

Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea is a condition where a person defecates with a soft or liquid stool consistency or even just water which can be accompanied by blood or foam with a frequency that is more frequent than usual in a day. Self-medication is an action taken by someone to treat themselves by recognizing the symptoms and illnesses felt, usually minor illnesses, then choosing drugs according to their wishes without going through a doctor's prescription. Methods: A descriptive study with cross-sectional approach to determine the recommended choice of diarrhea drugs without symptoms of infection for self-medication from pharmacies in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected through proportional random sampling using the Slovin formula. From a total of 247 pharmacies in Padang City, data was collected from 38 pharmacies that had been proportioned in 11 sub-districts in Padang City. Participants in this study were pharmacists on duty at the pharmacy. Data were collected through structured interviews recorded by pharmacists in pharmacies with a single question, what drug do you give for self-medication to adult patients with mild diarrhea without symptoms of infection. Results: Drug recommendations from pharmacist in Padang City pharmacies are attapulgite, kaolin-pectin, activated carbon, loperamide, Oral Re-hydration Formula (ORS), zinc supplements, probiotics, and antacids. The drug recommendations given are in the form of single therapy and combination therapy. Assessment of recommendations that are said to be appropriate refers to the recommendations of Dipiro (2020), namely the provision of a single absorbent or absorbent plus ORS. The results of appropriate recommendations were obtained at 44.74% and those that were not appropriate were obtained at 55.26%. There is no statistically significant evidence to suggest a relationship between the education level of pharmacist and appropriate of the answer (p>0.05). Conclusion: There are still many mistakes made by pharmacists in recommending diarrhea drugs without symptoms of infection for self-medication in pharmacies.

Abstract

Introduction: The imbalance between the production of free radicals and the antioxidant defense system in the body will cause the body to experience oxidative stress. This can be caused by chronic malnutrition. In children, this condition causes growth and development failure called stunting. Honey, temulawak and black cumin are herbs with high antioxidant content, formulated in one preparation to test its effectiveness. The purpose of the study was to determine specific descriptions experienced by stunted children and to test the antioxidant effectiveness of preparation temulawak-black cumin honey. Methods: The research method used was quasi-experimental, pre-post design, the research time starts from January-May 2023. The population of Stunting children in the Tegalwangi locus area, Cirebon Regency, the selected samples or subjects are children aged 24-60 months who meet the inclusion criteria. The subjects were divided into 2 groups, namely the treatment group that received the test preparation for 4 months and the control group without the provision of the test preparation. Blood sampling was carried out simultaneously or simultaneously at the village hall with the help of trained analysts. The antioxidant parameters superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and free radical parameters Nitric oxide and malondialdehyde. The data obtained will be analysed using an independent t-test. Results: The results of the study on 50 stunted children showed low levels of Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, Glutathione peroxidase, and free radical parameters Nitric oxide and Malondialdehyde were obtained high. This means that stunted children experience oxidative stress. There was significant antioxidant effectiveness with increased levels of SOD and Catalase in the treatment group (P<0.05), a decrease in NO and MDA in the treatment group (P<0.05) compared to the control group. Conclusion: Temulawak-black cumin honey preparation has activity to reduce oxidative stress in stunted children in Cirebon.
