Core Subject : Health,
Karya Kesehatan Siwalima (KKS) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal committed to the dissemination of knowledge, research findings, and evidence-based practices in the field of health sciences. The journal aims to advance interdisciplinary perspectives and promote innovative approaches to improving health outcomes at the individual, family, and community levels, both nationally and globally. KKS serves as a scholarly platform for academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to publish high-quality original research articles, systematic reviews, case studies, and theoretical analyses that contribute to the advancement of health sciences and the development of healthcare services. The journal places strong emphasis on research-based practice, community-oriented interventions, and the integration of science, technology, and humanistic care in addressing contemporary health challenges. In particular, Karya Kesehatan Siwalima highlights the importance of contextual and culturally sensitive approaches, especially within archipelagic and multicultural settings such as Indonesia, while maintaining relevance within the broader global health discourse. The journal also supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those related to health and well-being, through the publication of empirical studies, innovative models, and conceptual frameworks. Managed by the Faculty of Health, Universitas Kristen Indonesia Maluku, Karya Kesehatan Siwalima publishes articles derived from both research projects and community service activities. These works encompass a wide range of themes, including health education, counseling, community engagement and socialization programs, as well as evaluations of development initiatives, survey-based studies, and experimental research in the health sector.

Abstract

Choking in preschool children is a critical pediatric emergency requiring immediate intervention to prevent hypoxia and mortality. Kindergarten teachers act as primary first responders, yet often lack formal emergency management training. This study evaluated the effectiveness of demonstrative education in improving kindergarten teachers' skills in managing choking incidents. A community-based intervention was conducted involving all seven kindergarten teachers at TK Negeri Pembina 3 Pekanbaru, Indonesia. The 3-hour intervention integrated health education, manikin-based demonstrations of back-blow and abdominal-thrust techniques, guided practice, and booklet provision. Participant skills were evaluated pre- and post-intervention using the validated 14-item Child Choking Management Skills Observation Checklist. At baseline, all participants exhibited low skill levels, with a mean score of 37.25% ± 6.80. Following the intervention, mean skill scores significantly increased to 92.86% ± 3.57 (an absolute gain of 55.61 percentage points), enabling 100% of participants to achieve the high-competency category (≥76%). Demonstrative education combining hands-on manikin practice with structured instructional feedback effectively optimizes choking-management skills among early-childhood educators. Periodic refresher sessions and integration of practical guidelines are recommended to sustain long-term competency in school settings.

Abstract

School health screening provides routine information on children’s nutritional status and health conditions, but year-to-year comparisons depend on consistent population denominators. This study aimed to describe school health screening coverage, nutritional status, and selected screening findings in Bogor Regency, Indonesia, in 2023–2024. This descriptive study analyzed secondary routine data using counts and percentages calculated in Microsoft Excel. School screening coverage declined from 98.02% in 2023 to 97.71% in 2024, while student coverage decreased from 97.35% to 96.43%. The reported target student population nearly doubled, from 128,094 to 251,754, despite little change in the number of target schools. The proportions of underweight and overweight increased, whereas severe underweight, obesity, and stunting decreased. The reported proportion of dental caries declined from 38.66% to 36.58%. Other screening indicators showed mixed patterns. Overall, screening coverage remained high, while nutritional and health screening indicators varied between years. The substantial change in the target population limits direct comparison, and these descriptive findings do not establish program effectiveness or explain the observed changes.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition characterized by uric acid levels above the normal reference threshold and is influenced by various risk factors, including Body Mass Index (BMI). This study aimed to identify the contribution of BMI to increased uric acid levels and its association with hyperuricemia among young adults in RT 03, Kampung Ciburial. A quantitative observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 24 respondents selected by purposive sampling. Blood uric acid levels were measured from peripheral capillary blood using the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) method. Statistical analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk normality test followed by Pearson correlation analysis. The results demonstrated a strong, positive, and statistically significant correlation between BMI and blood uric acid levels (r = 0.785; p < 0.001). Higher BMI values tended to be associated with higher uric acid levels, and hyperuricemia occurred more frequently among respondents with BMI ≥ 23 kg/m². BMI monitoring may therefore serve as an initial community-based screening measure for hyperuricemia risk.
