Foodborne disease refers to a condition when the body is affected by microbial toxins or substances that enter through the consumption of food. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that around 1 in 10 individuals worldwide fall ill and experience 420,000 fatalities annually due to foodborne illnesses or food poisoning. Additionally, these incidents result in a loss of 33 million years of healthy life each year. The objective of the study is to assess the ambient and personal hygiene conditions and their impact on the presence of harmful microorganisms in food during culinary excursions in Kanggano Rajo. This study was employed a quantitative research approach with a descriptive design and a cross-sectional research design. The study population consists of 101 individuals engaged in the street vendors culinary items during the Culinary Tour of Tanggo Rajo. The findings indicated that 68.5% of the respondents needed to fulfill their hygiene preferences. Additionally, study was reported unsuitable environmental sanitation conditions, 57.4% reported inadequate water condition, 77.8% reported improper waste handling, 81.5% reported inadequate waste disposal, and 100% reported insufficient vector control. The microbiological test results revealed the presence of Enterobacter Hafniae in 2 samples, enterobacter aerogenes in 16 samples, and Klebsiella Azaenae in 36 samples. Empowering and enhancing education in all critical sectors is advisable while ensuring effective monitoring and evaluation.

Indonesia continues to face the issue of stunting. Infants with a body length of less than 48 cm and a body weight of less than 2500 grams are susceptible to stunting. This study aimed to examine the variables that impact the weight and body length of neonates. This research was characterized as observational analytic, utilizing a cross-sectional approach. The population comprises mothers who gave birth in Tulungagung Regency in 2021. The research sample consists of mothers who met the inclusion criteria for maternal pregnancies, including high-risk and got assistance from health cadres during pregnancy. The sample also includes the babies born to these mothers. The data was gathered by testing hemoglobin levels, stature, mass, mid-upper arm circumference, and the length and weight of newborn infants. The data were subjected to analysis using multiple linear regression tests. The maternal weight gain during pregnancy and mid-upper arm circumference had the potential to impact the body length and weight of the baby. Meeting the appropriate nutritional requirements during pregnancy enhances the nutritional well-being of expectant mothers, enabling them to offer optimal nourishment for their developing fetuses and promoting proper growth and development.

A hospital is an institution whose primary function is to provide health services to the community. One of the government's efforts to provide health services to the community is implementing the National Health Insurance Program (JKN), which the Social Security Program Organizing Agency organizes in the health sector. This research analyzed the factors associated with delays in BPJS claims at Dr. Hospital. Reksodiwiryo Padang. This research was a descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design. The research showed that six medical record files (6.5%) had inaccurate codes, while 86 (93.5%) used the correct ones. In addition, 91 files (98.9%) of inpatient medical records needed to be completed, and only one file (1.1%) was completed. Inaccuracy in diagnostic coding affects delays in submitting claims at Dr. Hospital. Reksodiwiryo Padang. It is hoped that officers can understand the coding rules based on ICD-10 for diagnoses and ICD-9 CM for actions or procedures to guarantee the quality of service at the hospital.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major contributor to illness and death. COPD can result in the obstruction of airflow and disturbance of the respiratory system. These symptoms have a tendency to be enduring and progressively worse. In Indonesia, the number of persons affected by COPD is estimated to be 9.2 million, with smokers being the primary cause of COPD cases. Hence, the objective of this study was to determine the risk variables linked to the occurrence of COPD among smokers in Bandung City in 2022. This study employed a cross-sectional design, with a sample size of 189 smokers aged over 40 years in Bandung City. The participants were selected via total sampling. This study employed secondary research methodology, utilising chi-square and binary regression analysis for data analysis. The findings indicated that the prevalence of high-risk COPD cases in Bandung City in 2022 was 12.7%. An relationship was seen between age, smoking intensity, namely 20-30 packs of cigarettes per year, and level of physical activity. After controlling for age, physical activity, and degree of smoking, the primary cause of the increased risk of COPD was the consumption of 20-30 packs of cigarettes per year (PR= 11.34; 95% CI = 1.65 to 77.67). This study highlights the significance of lifestyle interventions, such as smoking cessation programmes and CERDIK's behaviours, in managing COPD.

Social media is a widely utilized and essential aspect of daily life, particularly for teens. Adolescents in today's digital age are growing up in a culture where social media platforms are prevalent and substantially influence various parts of their lives. The amount of social media usage in Indonesia is steadily growing annually. This article examines the negative and positive effects of social media on the mental wellbeing of young people. Several articles have suggested that excessive usage of social media among adolescents can result in sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. On the other hand, social media can positively affect health and improve relationships. This article highlights the significance of using social media prudently and ethically while effectively managing one's emotions, which can increase benefits. Therefore, minimizing might lead to negative consequences, particularly about adolescents' psychological wellbeing and societal support.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most often attacks various organs, especially the lungs. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and TB patients' attitudes toward compliance with tuberculosis drugs at the Helvetia Medan Health Center. This type of research used an analytical observational method with the cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was quota sampling, with 75 respondents. Data collection in this study used to form sheets in questionnaires given to respondents directly and data analysis using the chi-square test. The results showed that respondents with good knowledge were 29 respondents (38.7%), good enough 33 respondents (44%), not good enough 12 respondents (16%), and not good one respondent (1.3%). A good attitude was 23 respondents (30.7%), good enough 37 respondents (49.3%), not good enough 14 respondents (18.7%), and not good one respondent (1.3%). Obedient compliance to TB medication was 25 respondents (33.3%), quite obedient 33 respondents (44%), and less obedient 17 respondents (22.7%). This study concluded that knowledge and attitude had a significant relationship with adherence to tuberculosis medication, with a knowledge p-value of 0.003 <0.05 and an attitude p-value of 0.037 <0.05. Healthcare professionals must employ innovative strategies to enhance knowledge and attitudes, raise public awareness, and ensure full compliance with the TB treatment program. It is crucial to implement this measure to mitigate the future prevalence of antibiotic resistance in treating tuberculosis.
