Abstract

Background: Natural disasters continue to pose significant challenges globally, particularly in disaster-prone middle-income countries such as Indonesia, where communities are frequently exposed to hydrometeorological and geological hazards. While structural mitigation remains important, non-structural and community-based approaches are increasingly emphasized to enhance contextual relevance and community engagement in disaster risk reduction. This study aimed to develop and assess the feasibility of a community-based non-structural disaster mitigation module integrating local knowledge as an educational resource for disaster-prone communities. Methods: The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using a simplified adaptation of the Borg and Gall model. The development process included a needs assessment through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, module design and development, expert validation, and a limited field trial with target community users. Data were collected using qualitative methods and structured questionnaires, and analyzed descriptively to examine feasibility, acceptability, and relevance.. Results: The results indicate that the developed module achieved high feasibility scores across content, presentation, language, and integration of local knowledge. User assessments from the limited field trial demonstrated high levels of acceptability and relevance, particularly in relation to clarity, contextual suitability, and usefulness as a learning resource. Revisions based on expert and user feedback were incorporated into the final version of the module.. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study provides early empirical evidence supporting the feasibility and acceptability of a community-based non-structural disaster mitigation module that integrates local knowledge. The module shows potential for use as an educational tool to support community disaster preparedness activities within similar middle-income country contexts.Keywords: Community-based disaster risk reduction;  Non-structural disaster mitigation;   Module development; Local knowledge integration; Research and Development

Abstract

Background: Choking is a common condition in children and can be fatal if not treated quickly and appropriately. Mothers’ lack of knowledge about choking management increases the risk of complications and death, so education, especially about the Heimlich maneuver, is needed to increase knowledge and prevent child mortality. Objective: To determine the effect of audiovisual education on the Heimlich maneuver on mothers’ knowledge of choking management in children at RA Al-Hikmah. Research Methods: This was a quantitative study with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design. The sample consisted of 45 respondents, using a total sampling approach. A knowledge questionnaire was administered before and after the health education, and the changes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: Mothers’ knowledge increased significantly after health education. Before the intervention, most mothers had low knowledge levels, but after education, knowledge levels increased significantly. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that health education significantly increased mothers’ knowledge. Conclusion: Health education using audiovisual media increases mothers’ knowledge (p-value = 0.000). Therefore, health education should be delivered in schools as part of a choking prevention program for children. Keywords: Health Education, children, mothers, Knowledge, choking, Heimlich maneuver.

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality among women, particularly in developing countries, and can be detected early through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) screening. However, low knowledge and participation rates among women of reproductive age (WRA) remain major challenges. This study aimed to determine the effect of education using the wish and drive method on knowledge and participation in cervical cancer early detection. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. A total of 60 respondents were selected using purposive sampling and divided into intervention and control groups. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to assess knowledge and a checklist to measure participation in VIA screening. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate tests, including the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney U test. Results: The intervention group showed a significant increase in knowledge, with the proportion of “good” knowledge rising from 26.7% to 86.7%, while the control group experienced a decrease from 36.7% to 23.3%. Participation in VIA screening in the intervention group increased from 43.3% to 70%, compared to a slight increase in the control group from 40% to 43.3%. Statistical analysis indicated significant differences in both knowledge (p=0.000) and participation (p=0.002) after the intervention. Conclusions: Education using the wish and drive method effectively improves knowledge and participation in cervical cancer early detection among WRA. This method is recommended for implementation in community-based health promotion programs to enhance screening uptake and preventive health behavior.

Abstract

Introduction: The diseases caused by some vectors, such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and filariasis are still being an issue. In 2019 the Larva Free Index (LFI) in Indonesia showed a percentage of 79,2% and this number has not reached the target of the ABJ program of > 95%, with 138,127 dengue cases recorded. In order to prevent mosquito larvae, biological control is used with mosquito’s natural enemy. This research aims to identify the differences abilities between the Betta Fish and the golden cichlid as the mosquito larvae of Aedes aegypti control. Methods: This type of research was quasi-experimental with a completely randomized design (CRD). The data collected by observation. Repetition/replication in this study was 18 samples. The data analysis used an Independent T-Test with a confidence level of 95% (α = 0.05). Result and Discussion: Betta fish has ability to prey on 20 larvae within onehour, total amount of larvae eaten in 9 times repetition was 175 larvae (96.4%). The golden cichlid has the capability to prey on 18 larvae within one hour, with the total amount of larvae eaten 9 times repetitions was 146 mosquito larvae (80.6%). Betta fish had a higher predation ability than golden cichlid (p value = 0.000). Conclusion: There was a difference in the ability of Betta fish and golden cichlid to control Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae (p value = 0.000).

Abstract

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are gradually documented as public health hazards in agricultural and industrial centers of Pakistan. Faisalabad, is known as a major pivot point for intensive farming and textile manufacturing, presents multiple sources of exposure including industrial effluents, pesticide residues, and consumer products. However, the exposure of EDCs at population level leftovers under-addressed. The data documented in this study was collected from recent environmental and biomonitoring studies conducted in Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose, we reviewed literature on EDCs concentrations in food items, groundwater, and biological samples, with special focus on bisphenol A (BPA), organochlorine pesticides, and phthalate metabolites. In conclusion, Faisalabad’s polluted groundwater supply, convergence of dyeing industry effluents, and pesticide-intensive agriculture create a significant risk of low dose, chronic exposure to various EDCs which are associated with metabolic disorders, warranting urgent public health interventions.
