Abstract

Background: Diarrhea remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among children under five in Indonesia. Household environmental conditions, such as water quality, latrine sanitation, waste management, and environmental cleanliness, are important risk factors influencing the incidence of diarrhea. Darussalam Health Center is one of the working areas with a relatively high number of diarrhea cases among children under five. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between environmental factors and the incidence of diarrhea among children under five in the working area of Darussalam Health Center. Methods: This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 120 children under five were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire and observation of household environmental conditions. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: The incidence of diarrhea among children under five was 32.5%. Environmental factors significantly associated with diarrhea were water quality (p = 0.001; OR = 3.98; 95% CI = 1.82–8.71), latrine sanitation (p = 0.004; OR = 3.21; 95% CI = 1.45–7.09), and waste management (p = 0.012; OR = 2.54; 95% CI = 1.22–5.28). Lighting and home ventilation factors were not significantly related. Conclusion: Environmental factors, particularly water quality, sanitation, and waste management, are strongly associated with the incidence of diarrhea among children under five in the working area of Darussalam Health Center.

Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is a condition in which a newborn weighs less than 2.5 kg, generally caused by premature birth (<37 weeks) or intrauterine growth restriction. LBW increases the risk of health problems such as growth delays, cognitive impairments, infections, respiratory disorders, cardiovascular issues, gastrointestinal problems, kidney disorders, and higher rates of infant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to identify factors associated with LBW in the working area of Rosalina Munthe Clinic. The study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, and data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with SPSS. Results showed that 33.3% of respondents had LBW infants. Mothers with unsafe age were 39.7%, those with unsafe pregnancy intervals were 61.9%, low socioeconomic status was found in 66.7%, and low educational level in 81%. Analysis revealed a significant association between maternal age and LBW incidence. However, pregnancy interval, anemia, and socioeconomic status showed no significant association with LBW. This study highlights that maternal age plays a key role in LBW occurrence, while other factors require further investigation to understand their contribution to the risk of delivering low birth weight infants.

Abstract

Mental disorders are health problems that affect individuals, families, and communities, where the negative stigma given by families to members with mental disorders can influence the acceptance and support they receive. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family stigma and family acceptance toward people with mental disorders (PWMD) in the working area of Ladang Tuha Public Health Center, Pasie Raja Subdistrict, South Aceh. The research employed a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 65 families selected using the total sampling technique. The instruments used were the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) questionnaire and a family acceptance questionnaire, analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had low stigma (67.7%) and poor acceptance (61.5%), with a p-value = 0.000, indicating a significant relationship between family stigma and family acceptance toward PWMD. The study concluded that the lower the family stigma, the better the acceptance toward PWMD; thus, educational efforts and family empowerment are needed to reduce stigma and improve acceptance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the systemic impact of digital transformation on public health administration in Indonesia through a systematic literature review approach. The research was conducted by synthesizing 24 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2025, using the PRISMA method for structured selection and data synthesis. The findings reveal four dominant thematic focuses: adoption of health information systems, human resource readiness, system interoperability, and digital governance policies. While digitalization has improved administrative efficiency and data quality, challenges such as system fragmentation and limited digital literacy persist. The study concludes that successful digital transformation in health administration depends not only on technological innovation but also on institutional integration, policy coherence, and capacity development. The implications suggest the need for coordinated digital policies and capacity-building programs to ensure inclusive and sustainable digital health governance.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant public health problem in Indonesia, especially among toddlers. Stunting can have long-term effects on children's quality of life, including physical growth and cognitive development disorders. The Puuwatu Community Health Center in Kendari City has recorded a high rate of stunting. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors associated with stunting in this area. This study aims to identify factors associated with stunting in toddlers in the working area of the Puuwatu Health Center in Kendari City. This study uses an analytical study design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study consisted of 73 respondents, and sampling was conducted using stratified random sampling taken from each urban village. Data were collected through interviews with parents of toddlers experiencing stunting, as well as measurements of the toddlers' nutritional status. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square statistical test to examine the relationship between the variables studied. This study shows that nutritional intake (p value = 0.002), exclusive breastfeeding (p value = 0.000), and income (p value = 0.439) are related to stunting. It can be concluded that there is a relationship between nutritional intake and exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of stunting, while income is not related to the incidence of stunting in the working area of the Puuwatu Community Health Center.
