Abstract

Balance disorders pose a significant risk for falls among the elderly and can greatly diminish their quality of life. This study seeks to inspect the impact of incorporating balance exercises with tandem walking on enhancing balance in the elderly demographic. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was utilized. A total of thirty-two elderly participants from two nursing homes in East Java were chosen through purposive sampling. The independent variable comprised the combination of balance exercises and tandem walking, while the dependent variable was the balance level, evaluated using the Time Up and Go Test (TUGT). Statistical analyses were operated utilizing the Paired t-Test, Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test, and Mann Whitney U Test with a significance level established at p < 0.05. In the intervention group, the average TUGT score before the intervention was 21.35 seconds (indicating unstable mobility), which improved to 16.01 seconds (indicating good mobility) after the intervention (p=0.000). Conversely, the control group, which did not undergo the combined intervention, showed average scores of 26.67 seconds before and 25.38 seconds after the intervention, both categorized as unstable mobility (p=0.326). The intervention group revealed a greater enhancement in balance with a average improvement of 5.33 seconds, compared to 1.28 seconds in the control group (p=0.002). These outcomes demonstrate that the combination of balance exercises and tandem walking is significantly effective in enhancing balance in the elderly. This intervention has the potential to minimize the danger of falls and enhance the overall quality of life among older adults.

Abstract

Oral health issues are prevalent among the elderly due to physiological aging, which often leads to decreased oral muscle function and impairs essential activities such as mastication, swallowing, and salivary secretion. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of oral stimulation exercises in improving these oral functions in elderly individuals. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted involving 28 elderly participants in Pedalangan Village, Semarang, Indonesia. Participants received regular oral stimulation exercises, and assessments were made before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, with paired sample t-tests and Wilcoxon tests applied accordingly. The results demonstrated significant improvements in salivary flow rate (p = 0.018), swallowing function (p = 0.000), and mastication ability (p = 0.004). These findings suggest that oral stimulation exercises are an effective non-pharmacological strategy to enhance oral functions among the elderly, potentially improving their overall health and quality of life.

Abstract

Purabaya Terminal is characterized by high vehicle density, making it a potential source of air pollution, particularly from fossil fuel-powered vehicles, such as diesel, which emit sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas. Exposure to SO2 poses health risks to traders nearby, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, watery eyes, and dizziness. This study aimed to analyze the health risk levels associated with SO₂ exposure to traders at Purabaya Terminal. The research utilized an Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA) approach with a quantitative descriptive design and a cross-sectional method. A sample of 32 traders was selected using purposive sampling techniques. Air sampling was conducted at four locations within the terminal, and data analysis assessed exposure levels and potential health risks to traders. The average SO2 concentration was found to be 0.018 mg/m3, which is below the threshold limit set in the Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 5 of 2018. The average air temperature was 29.9 oC, with humidity at 78.7% and wind speed at 1.14 m/s from the west. Intake exposure values ranged from 0.0007 to 0.0033 mg/kg/day, while the reference dose (RfC) was 0.026 mg/kg/day. Risk characterization calculations (RQ) indicated that all respondents had RQ values ≤ 1. The study concludes that SO2 exposure levels for traders remain within acceptable health risk range and do not pose a non-carcinogenic health risk. However, it is recommended that traders use personal protective equipment such as masks and that terminal management conducts regular air quality monitoring.

Abstract

The 4th pillar of the Community-Based Total Sanitation (STBM) program emphasizes household waste management, which is crucial due to the significant contribution of household waste to environmental pollution. This study aimed to analyze the influence of knowledge, education, and triggering on the implementation of the 4th pillar of STBM in Mojosulur Village, Mojosari District, Mojokerto Regency in 2025. An analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach was applied, involving 92 housewives selected through systematic random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires to measure knowledge, education, and triggering experience, and observation sheets to evaluate household waste management practices. The results showed that the overall implementation of the 4th pillar of STBM was still low, with only 15.2% of households practicing proper waste management. The Chi-Square test indicated that knowledge had no significant association with STBM 4th pillar implementation (p = 0.109), while education (p = 0.004) and triggering (p = 0.000) were significantly associated. These findings highlight that higher education and structured triggering activities play a key role in strengthening household waste management. Local governments and environmental health officers are recommended to intensify triggering interventions and strengthen community education programs, focusing on the three main components of STBM enabling environment, increasing demand, and increasing supply to promote sustainable waste management behavior at the household level.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia. Behavioral factors, including perception and lifestyle, play an important role in influencing TB incidence. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between behavioral factors based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the incidence of pulmonary TB in the Benowo Health Center area, Surabaya. A case-control design was employed with 39 cases and 39 controls aged 15–60 years, selected using the Slovin formula and purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using bivariate (Chi-square) and multivariate (logistic regression) tests. Significant factors associated with pulmonary TB incidence were poor perceived vulnerability (OR = 1.86), high perceived severity (OR = 2.84), and low self-efficacy (OR = 2.44). Other variables such as perceived benefits, barriers, and cues to action showed weaker associations. Behavioral factors, particularly vulnerability, severity, and self-efficacy, significantly influence pulmonary TB incidence in the Benowo Health Center area. Strengthening health education and community-based counseling is recommended to improve TB prevention and control.
