Abstract

Health development in Indonesia currently faces dual challenges due to changing epidemiological patterns. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an endemic disease that remains a public health challenge, including in Medan Tuntungan District, one of the areas with high DHF cases in Medan City. The Simalingkar Community Health Center faces various obstacles in its efforts to eradicate DHF. The health promotion program implemented includes 3M Plus counseling, Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) activities through mutual cooperation, and distribution of larvicide as the main strategy for DHF control. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the health promotion program and identify obstacles to its implementation. The approach used was a qualitative case study design. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation with 15 informants, consisting of the head of the health center, the P2DBD coordinator, health promotion officers, neighborhood heads, PKK mothers, and the community. The results show that program implementation has been ongoing but is not optimal. 3M Plus counseling is still incidental and not routine. PSN is carried out periodically but with minimal education. Distribution of larvicide is not equitable. Key challenges include unclear program standards, limited resources, and low community participation. The program also focuses more on emergency response than promotion and prevention. Communication between implementers is quite good, but direct engagement with the community still needs improvement. Program implementation needs to be strengthened in terms of planning, resources, citizen participation, and cross-sector support.

Abstract

Currently, the use of Long-Term Contraceptive Methods (MKJP) in Indonesia is still very low despite its high level of effectiveness in reducing birth rates and increasing the success of the Family Planning (KB) program. The low use of MKJP indicates differences in perception, knowledge, and social acceptance among women of childbearing age, especially housewives. This study aims to determine the perceptions of housewives towards the use of MKJP in Cikahuripan Village, Klapanunggal District, Bogor Regency. This study used a qualitative approach with an exploratory design through in-depth interviews with seven informants selected purposively on January 13–15, 2025. Data analysis was carried out using thematic analysis techniques according to Braun & Clarke (2006) using source triangulation to increase data validity. The results of the study indicate that housewives' perceptions of MKJP are influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors include the level of knowledge, previous experience, and motivation from husbands and health workers to minimize side effects. External factors include the influence of the social environment, user testimonials, ease of access to consultations, and the role of social media in promotion. It was concluded that comprehensive education, a persuasive approach, and cross-sector support were able to increase the trust and participation of housewives in choosing MKJP. One of the factors influencing the low use of MKJP is the perception of housewives towards this method.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension are now a major challenge in health development in Indonesia. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition that occurs when blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated and is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is a major health challenge, especially in the productive age group. The causes of hypertension in the productive age group are diverse, ranging from consumption of foods high in salt and fat, lack of physical activity, smoking habits, and psychological stress due to work pressure. Lack of awareness of early detection and low knowledge about a healthy lifestyle also exacerbate the situation. Lack of knowledge about how to prevent hypertension can influence attitudes towards hypertension prevention. This study aims to analyze risk behaviors and hypertension prevention efforts in the Tapos Community Health Center (Puskesmas) work area. Hypertension is a disease with the highest number of visits, so identifying risk behaviors and appropriate prevention strategies is necessary. This study used a descriptive analytical approach with qualitative methods through observation, interviews, and literature review. Data were obtained from a survey of the productive age population and the 2024 health profile of the Tapos Community Health Center (Puskesmas). Results indicate that poor stress management, unhealthy lifestyles, and low public awareness are the main triggers of hypertension. Control efforts focus on education, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and utilizing traditional herbal remedies (TOGA) as a non-pharmacological therapy.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as stroke, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have increased significantly. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a non-communicable disease that has shown a significant increase every year, particularly among the productive age group. Unhealthy lifestyles, lack of physical activity, and low awareness of early detection are the main contributing factors. This study aims to identify risk behaviors and prevention efforts related to T2DM among the productive age population in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Tapos in 2025. This research employed a descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and literature studies. Primary data were collected through surveys involving 100 respondents of productive age in the Tapos area, while secondary data were obtained from the 2024 Health Profile Report of UPTD Puskesmas Tapos. The results showed that 83.3% of respondents engaged in regular physical activity, but only 62.2% consumed fruits and vegetables consistently. Although 94.4% utilized health services at the public health center, most did not undergo routine health check-ups. Unhealthy eating patterns, insufficient physical activity, and low awareness of routine screening were identified as dominant risk factors. Therefore, continuous health education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and improved access to screening services are recommended to reduce the prevalence of T2DM among the productive age population.

Abstract

Anemia among adolescent girls remains a significant public health concern, with a prevalence of 36% in Sukabumi District in 2024. The main contributing factors include iron deficiency, unbalanced dietary patterns, and limited nutritional knowledge. Engaging educational interventions are urgently needed to improve adherence to anemia prevention programs, particularly iron supplementation, free health screenings for adolescents, and the Free Nutritious Meal initiative. This study examined the effectiveness of a modified snakes-and-ladders–based educational game incorporating anemia-related content. A quasi-experimental quantitative design with a two-group pretest–posttest approach was employed, involving 80 adolescent girls in 2025. Data analysis utilized normality testing (skewness), paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and the N-Gain test. The mean knowledge score increased by 2.3 points, attitude score by 3.3 points, and behavior score by 2.4 points. Paired t-test results in the intervention group showed significant improvements in knowledge (p = 0.001), attitudes (p = 0.001), and behaviors (p = 0.001) before and after the intervention. Similarly, the control group demonstrated differences in knowledge (p = 0.001), attitudes (p = 0.001), and behaviors (p = 0.001) over time. Post-intervention independent t-tests indicated significant differences between the intervention and control groups in knowledge (p = 0.001), attitudes (p = 0.001), and behaviors (p = 0.001). The N-Gain analysis revealed an average score of 58,4% (moderately effective) in the intervention group and 23% (ineffective) in the control group. These findings indicate that the educational snakes-and-ladders game is moderately effective in enhancing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to anemia prevention. It is recommended that the Health and Education Offices integrate this game into extracurricular programs and school-based health checks as a complementary strategy to the Free Nutritious Meal initiative.

Abstract

Anemia is a global public health problem. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia reaches 27.7%, while anemia in third-trimester pregnant women at the Cipayung Community Health Center in January–May 2025 was recorded at 14.35%. Several factors influence the incidence of anemia in pregnant women, including sociocultural factors, diet, income, and knowledge. A good diet for pregnant women should include sources of carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals, tailored to the needs of the pregnancy. This study aims to determine the risk factors for anemia in pregnant women due to the influence of cultural taboos and dietary patterns. This study design uses a quantitative analytical method with a cross-sectional approach. This study was conducted in July 2025, the population was pregnant women who underwent ANC examinations at the Cipayung Community Health Center with a sample of 105 respondents. Data analysis of this study began with univariate data analysis, simple correlation tests, using the Chi-square method and subsequent analysis using multiple logistic regression tests. The results of the multivariate analysis study showed that the cultural variables of food taboos (p.value = 0.003 with OR 5.569), dietary patterns (p.value = 0.043 with OR 2.759) were associated with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women, nutritional adequacy (p = 0.003; OR = 5.113) was associated with the incidence of anemia. Suggestions for education to be carried out in the 20-35 year age group about dietary patterns and cultural food taboos.

Abstract

Anemia can be defined as a condition in which the body does not have sufficient red blood cells, even though erythrocytes contain hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Anemia in pregnant women is a significant public health problem in Indonesia. Based on the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women reached 48.9%, indicating a high health burden due to this condition. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and maternal knowledge levels with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. The research method used a systematic review with a literature search in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases for the period 2019-2024 using keywords related to nutritional status, maternal knowledge, and anemia. Of the total 4,520 publications obtained, 13 relevant articles were systematically selected, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review results showed a significant relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women (p<0.05), where mothers with poor nutritional status were at higher risk of developing anemia. In addition, maternal knowledge levels also showed a significant relationship with the incidence of anemia (p<0.05), where insufficient knowledge increased the risk of anemia. This study concludes that maternal nutritional status and knowledge are two important factors that are interrelated in determining the risk of anemia in pregnant women, so efforts are needed to increase nutrition and health education to reduce the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia.

Abstract

Physical activity and sedentary behavior are two key factors influencing children’s nutritional status, particularly in relation to overweight and obesity. Measuring these aspects requires instruments that are both valid and reliable within the Indonesian cultural context. Objective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Indonesian versions of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) and the Adolescent Sedentary Activities Questionnaire (ASAQ) among elementary school students. Methods: The study involved 96 fifth-grade students from a private elementary school in Jakarta using translated versions of PAQ-C and ASAQ. Validity was tested using the Pearson Product Moment correlation, while reliability was examined using Cronbach’s Alpha. Results: Of the nine PAQ-C items, eight were found to be valid (r = 0.212–0.666 > r-table = 0.1689), while one item was invalid (r = 0.042). The Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.718 indicated good internal reliability. For ASAQ, six out of eleven items were valid, with a relatively low reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.413). Recommendation: It is recommended to modify the PAQ-C with minor adjustments to the types of sports activities to better reflect the local context of Indonesian children, and to revise the ASAQ through cultural and technological adaptation, simplification of overlapping items, and improvement of the administration procedure to better capture the sedentary behavior of Indonesian children today.

Abstract

Hospitals are important institutions in providing health services to the community with the main task of providing curative (healing) and preventive (preventive) services. Curative services focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients, while preventive services aim to prevent the emergence of diseases through vaccination and education on healthy lifestyles. Patient safety is an important aspect in health services that guarantee patient safety and prevent unexpected events. Nurses as primary health workers play a very important role in the implementation of patient safety. To determine the relationship between knowledge and length of service of nurses with attitudes towards patient safety in the Inpatient Installation of Oto Iskandar Hospital in Nata Bandung. The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 94 nurses as respondents. Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes of nurses (p = 0.000, OR = 11.8), as well as between length of service and attitudes of nurses (p = 0.003, OR = 4.1). In addition, demographic factors such as gender and age also contribute to variations in nurses' attitudes. The research model explained 63% of the variation in attitudes towards patient safety. Hospitals need to strengthen training and supervision, especially for nurses with less than 5 years of service. Further research is recommended to examine the implementation of patient safety more comprehensively to continuously improve service quality and patient safety. The research findings are expected to serve as a basis for strengthening training, supervision, and a culture of patient safety in hospitals to reduce incidents and improve service quality.
