Abstract

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death in Indonesia and continue to pose a challenge to public health. The Integrated Health Promotion Programme for Non-Communicable Diseases (Posbindu PTM) is a government programme aimed at detecting early risk factors for NCDs through screening, education, and routine, integrated community monitoring activities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the implementation of the Posbindu NCD programme in the coastal area of Sukamerindu Health Centre, Bengkulu City, based on input, process, and output aspects. Research Methodology: A qualitative descriptive method was used with a case study approach involving 17 informants, including the health centre director, programme managers, Posbindu cadres, and community members. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews, then analysed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion-drawing stages.Research Findings: The results indicate that, in terms of inputs, human resources are sufficient, but some cadres have not received specialised training. Funding and infrastructure are adequate, but their utilisation is not yet optimal. From the process aspect, programme planning and implementation are carried out in accordance with procedures, but community participation remains low and monitoring is not yet sustainable. From the output aspect, community participation in Posbindu PTM activities remains low (only 2,750 out of 4,000 targets), although there has been an increase in knowledge about PTM prevention among participants who actively participate in the activities.Recommendations: The researcher recommends that the Sukamerindu Health Centre in Bengkulu City improve cadre training, maximise the use of infrastructure, increase community participation through continuous education, and strengthen monitoring and evaluation to make the Posbindu PTM programme more effective and sustainable.

Abstract

Intoduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases worldwide. According to data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (2023), the national prevalence of pulmonary TB is recorded at 0.30%, with Central Papua having the highest prevalence at 1.15% and Bali the lowest at 0.09%. According to WHO data (2024), Southeast Asia accounts for 46% of the total global TB cases. This situation indicates that TB control remains a top priority, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This study aims to determine the effect of the KAP model on tuberculosis occurrence in the Working Area of Padang Serai Health Center of ​​Bengkulu City in 2025. Method: The method used in this study was a quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional approach, with a sample of 91 people using total random sampling. Data analysis used Chi-square and logistic regression. Result and Discussion: Univariate analysis results showed that respondents had good knowledge (58.2%), favorable attitudes (59.3%), and good behavior (65.9%). Bivariate analysis results showed a significant correlation between knowledge (p=0.000), attitude (p=0.000), and behavior (p=0.001) and the occurrence of pulmonary TB. Multivariate analysis results showed that only attitude had a statistically significant effect on the incidence of pulmonary TB (p=0.013; OR=7.978; 95% CI: 1.537–41.428). Conclusion: It is expected that community health centers can coordinate with health workers to provide health education regarding the causes of tuberculosis and tuberculosis prevention, as well as encourage the community to actively participate in tuberculosis prevention activities at the health center.

Abstract

Intoduction: Diarrhea is one of the global health problems that remains a serious challenge, especially in developing countries including Indonesia. According to data from WHO and UNICEF (2023), approximately 2 billion cases of diarrhea occur each year worldwide. Of this number, around 1.7 billion cases result in more than 525,000 deaths of toddlers each year. About 78% of toddler deaths due to diarrhea occur in Africa and Southeast Asia. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 92 respondents was selected through simple random sampling. The instruments used were observation, and analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test. Result and Discussion: The univariate analysis showed that 52 respondents had poor water pH, with 30 respondents (32.6%) having acidic water, and 22 respondents (23.9%) having alkaline water containing microbes. Additionally, 37 respondents (40.2%) had poor physical water conditions, and 43 respondents (46.7%) experienced diarrhea. The bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between water pH (p=0.005), the presence of microbes (p=0.003), and the physical condition of the water (p=0.005) with the incidence of diarrhea. These findings suggest that water pH, the presence of microbes, and water physical conditions are factors that can influence the occurrence of diarrhea. Conclusion: The researchers recommend that the health center monitor more frequently and enhance surveys, as well as provide education regarding the environment and water that causes diarrhea. It is also hoped that the community will periodically improve their. home environment and maintain the cleanliness of water sources.

Abstract

Intoduction: A healthy toilet is a waste disposal facility that prevents contact between humans and feces, makes the feces impermeable to insects and other animals, prevents contamination of water bodies, and prevents unpleasant odors. The seat is well- constructed, safe, and easy to clean (Lamentira, 2020). Based on data from the Working Area of Luas Health Center in Kaur Regency, out of 12 villages, four villages have not yet achieved Open Defecation Free (ODF) or Stop Open Defecation, with a population of 610 families (Luas Health Center, 2024). This study aims to determine the ownership of healthy toilets in the the Working Area of Luas Health Center in Kaur Regency in 2025. Method: The method used in this study was a survey method with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 86 respondents. Data analysis was performed using a chi-square test with a 95% significance level using SPSS 22 software.. Result and Discussion: Univariate analysis results showed that 76 (88.4%) respondents had low incomes, 47 (54.7%) had sufficient knowledge, 49 (57.0%) had unsupportive attitudes, and 49 (57.0%) had access to healthy latrines. Bivariate analysis results showed a significant correlation between income (p value) = 0.010, knowledge (p value) = 0.021, and attitude (p value) = 0.017) and access to healthy latrines in the Working Area of Luas Health Center in Kaur Regency in 2025 (α < 0.05). Conclusion: This study aims to improve health promotion efforts, environmental sanitation program planning, and evaluate the effectiveness of implemented activities to promote clean and healthy living behaviors in the community.

Abstract

Background: The Youth Posyandu is a community-based health service effort aimed at improving the health status of adolescents through promotive and preventive measures. Although this program has been implemented in various regions, its execution is still not optimal, including in the coastal area of Bentiring Health Center in Bengkulu City. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the implementation of the Youth Posyandu Program based on three main aspects: input, process, and output.Research Method: The method used is qualitative descriptive with a case study approach. The informants in the study consist of the head of the health center, program officers, cadres, and adolescent participants of the Posyandu. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and qualitative conclusion drawing.Research Results: The results show that the input aspect still has weaknesses, such as a lack of trained personnel, minimal special funding, and insufficient supporting facilities. In the process aspect, planning and implementation of activities have not been maximized due to a lack of adolescent involvement and the absence of routine evaluations. From the output aspect, the attendance and participation rates of adolescents are still low, although there is an increase in knowledge among some adolescents who actively participate.Recommendations: The researchers recommend that Bentiring Health Center enhance cadre training, optimize facilities and infrastructure, strengthen adolescent participation through ongoing education, and conduct routine monitoring and evaluation to make the Youth Posyandu Program more effective and sustainable.
