Abstract

Introduction: Dengue fever is a top ten global health threat according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Indonesia, especially Malang City has 560 dengue haemorrhagic fever cases in 2022 with Sukun Sub-district having the highest number of 159 cases. Dengue haemorrhagic fever vector control carried out by the government is currently 3M (drain, cover, and recycle) where it is still conventional. Whereas generally now there have been many studies on dengue vector control innovations, one of which is the Ae. aegypti with Wolbachia. The programme has been implemented in Yogyakarta and resulted in a decrease in dengue fever cases. The purpose of this study was to analyse the stigma and acceptance of the community in Malang City towards the Wolbachia-infected Ae. aegypti with Wolbachia programme in controlling dengue haemorrhagic fever vector. Methods: The method used was cross-sectional using questionnaires to 100 communities in Sukun Sub-district, Malang City with non-dense and dense populations. Results: The results showed that 87.5% of densely populated communities were aware of the programme, while only 5% of non-densely populated communities were aware of the programme. Based on the questionnaire results, it is known that the majority of community concerns about the programme between non-dense and dense communities are the same, namely the cost and health risks. However, after distributing the comic "What is Ae. aegypti with Wolbachia?" the community's acceptance towards the programme was found to be majority accepting. The community also hoped that there would be a socialisation activity from the relevant government for the next step of implementation. Conclusion: This study concluded that the community had a positive stigma and acceptance towards the Wolbachia-infected Ae. aegypti with Wolbachia programme if implemented in their area.

Abstract

Introduction: Work-related fatigue poses a significant challenge to worker productivity and well-being, particularly in physically demanding sectors such as the bakery industry. This study investigates the association between psychological stress, physical workload, and work-related fatigue among informal bakery workers in Batang, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 52 workers over a two-month period (July–August 2022). Data were collected through direct observation, physiological measurements, and structured questionnaires covering worker characteristics, stress levels, workload (measured via heart rate monitoring), heat stress (WBGT index), and fatigue (measured using a reaction timer). Bivariate analysis (Fisher’s Exact Test) and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify significant predictors of fatigue. Results: Multivariate analysis showed that both work stress and workload were significantly associated with work-related fatigue. Workers experiencing psychological stress had nearly three times the odds of fatigue (OR = 2.901; p = 0.047), while those with heavy workloads had over nine times the risk (OR = 9.446; p = 0.007). In contrast, heat stress and work tenure were not statistically significant predictors. Conclusion: These findings highlight the critical role of stress and workload in contributing to occupational fatigue. Interventions such as mental health support, ergonomic task redesign, and workload management are essential for improving well-being and safety among informal bakery workers. Future studies should explore additional mediating factors, including coping mechanisms and workplace social support, to inform holistic fatigue prevention strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a significant global health problem with increasing prevalence in Indonesia. Conventional management of diabetes mellitus is often accompanied by side effects and high costs, prompting the search for alternatives based on natural ingredients. STIFA Pelita Mas Herbal Oil is an innovative formulation that combines various efficacious natural ingredients, but its effectiveness on histopathological changes in pancreatic and kidney tissues due to diabetes has not been comprehensively explored. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and mechanism of action of STIFA Pelita Mas Herbal Oil on reducing blood glucose levels, repairing pancreatic tissue damage, and kidneys in a streptozotocin-induced rat model. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with an experimental design on 30 male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) divided into 6 treatment groups. STIFA Pelita Mas Herbal Oil is made by combining simplicia (Shallots, Garlic, Ginger, Curcuma zanthorrhiza, Lemongrass red, and Piper ornatum leaves) with various oils (VCO, eucalyptus oil, citronella oil, olive oil, and cinnamomum cullilawan). Diabetes was induced using streptozotocin (40 mg/kg BW) intraperitoneally. The parameters measured included blood glucose levels and histopathological changes in the kidneys and pancreas with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining. Data were analyzed using One Way ANOVA followed by the LSD or Kruskal-Wallis test. Result: The results showed that all three herbal oil formulas were able to lower blood glucose levels, with formula 1 and formula 3 showing comparable effectiveness to glibenclamide on day 28. In histopathological observations of the kidneys, formula 3 showed the best effectiveness in repairing damage to renal tubule and glomerular cells with a damage score of 0, equivalent to normal controls. Similarly, in histopathological observations of the pancreas, formula 3 showed the highest effectiveness in repairing damage to pancreatic beta cells with a damage score of 0.2, not significantly different from normal and positive controls. Conclusion: Stifa Pelita Mas herbal oil, especially formula 3, has the potential as an effective antidiabetic agent in lowering blood glucose levels and repairing tissue damage in the kidneys and pancreas due to diabetes. Future research should focus on dose variations to see at what dose this oil is effective.

Abstract

ntroduction: Through the Presidential Regulation No. 59 of 2024 issued on May 8, 2024, the Government of Indonesia announced the elimination of the three-class inpatient service (Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3) in Indonesia. The regulation introduces a single standard inpatient service class (KRIS), effective July 1, 2025. This study analyzes the KRIS nursing policy by exploring comments on YouTube news reports during two distinct periods: before and after the policy announcement. It also evaluates the impact of public communication efforts by relevant institutions on public support for the policy. Methodologically, this study introduces a novel approach by integrating Textual Network Analysis (TNA) with digital legitimacy theory, offering a fresh lens to examine the construction of policy legitimacy in digital environments (YouTube). Methods: To address the first research question, TNA was conducted on comments on YouTube, capturing and analyzing public responses to KRIS policy-related news during both pre- and post-policy announcement periods. Data were collected using Communalityc and APIFY and analyzed using Gephi to visualize and generate word networks. To address the second research question, the authors quantified KRIS policy socialization videos and compared them with COVID-19 vaccination campaign videos, followed by a qualitative analysis. Results: The authors discover that public discourse and sentiment remained consistently negative both pre- and post-announcement. However, the focus of the discussion shifted from complaints about service quality and contribution burdens to more direct concerns over increased contributions and reduced benefits. Regarding the second research question, the authors conclude that compared to the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, efforts to promote the benefits of the KRIS policy have been relatively limited, with minimal engagement from the four government institutions involved. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into public discourse and sentiment regarding the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) policy, which is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2025. The findings suggest that the government should strengthen its public engagement by adopting a more intensive, structured, and coordinated communication strategy—similar to that employed during the COVID-19 vaccination campaign—to boost public acceptance and enhance policy legitimacy.
