Abstract

Background: Children are vulnerable to air pollution, especially in their early life and so far there are no personal hygiene promotion strategies specifically aimed at addressing health threats or vulnerabilities in children in industrial areas. Therefore, the study aimed to determine teachers' views on air pollution and personal hygiene promotion strategies for children's health. Methods: This study used a quantitative method conducted with structured interviews. Respondents in this study were kindergarten teachers who taught in Ngaliyan District, totaling 95 teachers. The data analysis technique used was theme analysis technique. Results: Based on the interview results, teachers' views on air pollution are categorized as good. Respondents can mention sources of information about air pollution, causes of air pollution, the effect of air pollution on children's health, and diseases that arise due to air pollution. Teachers' views regarding personal hygiene promotion strategies are not good, especially in protecting children's health from air pollution. Conclusion: Teachers' views on air pollution are good but in personal hygiene promotion strategies, especially related to protecting children's health from exposure and the impact of air pollution, counseling, seminars, workshops, or similar activities are still rare. This study is expected to contribute to early childhood education, especially related to children's health.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia is a country that is highly susceptible to natural disasters, particularly due to the frequent volcanic eruptions occurring on the island of Java. This situation underscores the importance of ensuring that students in disaster-prone regions are well-prepared for such events. Traditional outreach methods have often been deemed insufficient in enhancing students' understanding of disaster preparedness. In response to this challenge, this research introduces an innovative educational tool: modified "Disaster Snakes and Ladders" game. This game aims to improve students' readiness for a specific focus on the potential eruptions of Mount Merapi. The study’s objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the game in enhancing the understanding of disaster preparedness among students at Kepuharjo State Elementary School. Method: Employing a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach, the study selected fifty students through total sampling. Data collection involved administering questionnaires before and after game implementation. Analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed promising results: initial scores averaged 17.08, increasing to 17.92 post-test. Statistical significance was confirmed  p-value of 0.016, indicating a substantial improvement in students' disaster preparedness knowledge. Conclusion: the Disaster Snakes and Ladders game effectively enhances elementary students' awareness and understanding of disaster preparedness, specifically geared towards Mount Merapi-related disasters.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia has generally experienced a decline, although not significantly. The issue of stunting is not solely caused by a single, simple factor; rather, it is influenced by complex factors. This study aims to analyze the factors associating with stunting in urban areas across Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional survey approach. The data were from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. The sample in this study were children aged 6 to 23 months residing in urban areas across Indonesia. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the associate between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Results: This study found that male (PR = 1.37), history of stunting at birth (PR = 1.41), low birth weight (PR = 2.13), history of tuberculosis (TB) (PR = 4.53) and family wealth status (PR = 2.28) were significantly associated with stunting status among children in urban areas. These factors were identified as key determinants, with their respective prevalence ratios indicating a substantial association with the prevalence of stunting in the population under study. Conclusions: In the urban context, there are predictive factors of stunting prevalence that require serious attention, such as having a history of TB illness and poor environmental health conditions

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered children's daily routines, particularly increasing screen time, decreasing physical activity, and changing sleep duration, which may impact their physical and mental health. It is important to know how changes in physical activity and screen time can affect children's sleep duration before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study used a quantitative analytical observational cohort study method with 240 child samples aged 6–12 years in Semarang City. The sampling technique used simple random sampling. The research instrument used the SMALLQ® questionnaire. Data analysis techniques used normality tests, Spearman-Rank tests to determine correlations, and Kruskal-Wallis tests to compare data. Results: The correlation between screen time and sleep duration was not statistically significant (p>0.05), while physical activity showed a significant positive correlation with sleep duration (r = 0.253 on weekdays, r = 0.21 weekly, p<0.05). Significant differences were found in screen time, physical activity, and sleep duration across the three periods (p<0.001), with increased screen time and decreased physical activity and sleep duration persisting post-pandemic.  Conclusions: The pandemic led to lasting increases in screen time and decreases in physical activity and sleep duration among children. Promoting healthier routines is essential to mitigate these impacts in the new normal era.

Abstract

Background: Athlete nutrition can indirectly improve athlete performance. One of the efforts to improve athlete nutrition is by providing additional food such as Tiliaya. Tiliaya is a traditional Gorontalo food that is believed to increase stamina, because it has high calories. This study aims to increase the physical activity of athletes through the intervention of reformulated tiliaya products. Method: This study used 20 respondents of Gorontalo Student Training and Education Program (STEP) Taekwondo athletes. The intervention was carried out for 3 months with the parameters measured, namely nutritional status based on body mass index, measurement of cholesterol levels (Cholesterol OxidasePhenol Aminophenazone/CHOD-PAP) and VO2max, before and after the intervention. Result: The results of the athlete's blood cholesterol test showed that there were 75.00% in the normal category and 25.00% in the high category. The results of T-Test of Cholesterol level and VO2Max significant for treatment group and not significant for control group. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the intervention of a reformulated food supplement, Tiliaya (using fiber creme as a substitute for coconut milk), has a significant impact on improving the physical fitness of STEP taekwondo athletes in Gorontalo, particularly by reducing total cholesterol levels and enhancing VO2max capacity

Abstract

Background: Adolescents in rural areas often face greater challenges with reproductive health problems than adolescents in urban areas, including more difficult access to health services, less access to reproductive health information, and limited social support. This affects the high prevalence of reproductive health problems such as teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and limited understanding of sexual and reproductive health rights The objective of this study was to explore the educational needs The purpose of this study is to investigate more comprehensively the needs of adolescents about reproductive health education in rural areas of Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. Method: This is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach, and data collection methods with in-depth interviews. The research participants consisted of 10 adolescents who lived in a rural area and were analysed using thematic analysis. Result: Four major themes were found from the results of this research, among others: adolescents' experience of getting education about reproductive health, challenges faced by adolescents around reproductive health education, the most appropriate person to provide reproductive health education to adolescents, and the need for adolescent education on reproductive health. Conclusion:  The challenges faced by adolescents living in rural areas regarding reproductive health education:Adolescents feel uncomfortable discussing reproductive health with their parents, but feel comfortable discussing it with their peers, even though they cannot help them. The internet is still the main source for asking questions about reproductive health, but often they do not get the right answers.

Abstract

Background: The Special Lung Hospital of North Sumatra Province, Medan, Indonesia is mandated by city regulations to implement the Smoke-Free Area (SFA) policy. In the fact, smoking by visitors and security personnel still occurs, posing health risks to patients and staffs. However, smoking activities by visitors and security staff were observed, posing health risks to patients and mployees. This study aims to analyse the implementation, challenges, and possible solutions related to the SFA policy. Methods:  Using a qualitative case study design, six informants were interviewed, including the Hospital Director, Health Safety Environment Committee, security staff, employees, cleaning staff, and visitors. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, with triangulation used to ensure validity. Result: The study indicates that, although the policy has been implemented, its effectiveness remains limited due to weak communication, insufficient resources, a lack of commitment, and an inadequate bureaucratic structure. Major obstacles include poor coordination with the government in Medan, limited no-smoking signage, low compliance and awareness among staffs, a lack of a dedicated task force, and weak law enforcement without clear sanctions. Conclusion: Additionally, socialization and outreach regarding SFA regulations remain minimal. To strengthen implementation, proposed solutions include improving interagency communication, enhancing enforcement and signage, issuing a director's circular, reactivating cessation clinics, and fostering collaboration among hospital units to promote and supervise continuous SFA

Abstract

Background: Retirement is a transitional phase that affects various life aspects, including social relationships. Many civil servants feel socially unprepared, leading to reduced interactions, increased isolation, loneliness, and depressive symptoms. This highlights the need for social readiness to support retirees' well-being. Therefore, this study describes the social relationship readiness of prospective retired civil servants in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted online via WhatsApp from November to December 2024, involving 171 prospective civil servant retirees who participated in the retirement preparation program organized by the Regional Civil Service Agency, using a consecutive sampling technique. The instrument used was the civil servant retirement readiness questionnaire by Mardova, which had been modified. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis (Spearman’s rho, Chi-square, and Fisher’s exact test). Results: Most respondents (60.2%) were categorized as "Ready" regarding social relationship readiness. There was a significant difference in social relationship readiness based on gender (p-value=0.005), where female respondents tended to be more socially prepared than males. Conclusions: Most prospective civil servant retirees are classified as socially ready. The level of social readiness among prospective retirees varies by gender.

Abstract

Background: Public health graduates are increasingly expected to possess not only theoretical knowledge but also practical competencies such as task execution, adaptability, and effective communication. In Indonesia, however, assessment practices predominantly focus on cognitive domains, often overlooking essential workforce competencies. Methods: This study employs a descriptive case study approach at the Faculty of Public Health, Diponegoro University, analyzing 18 group reports from the 2024 Field Learning Practice 2 (FLP_2) program. Assessment focuses on five competency dimensions defined by the Indonesian National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP): Task Skills (TS), Task Management Skills (TMS), Contingency Management Skills (CMS), Transfer Skills (TRS), and Job/Role Environment Skills (JRES). Results: Students demonstrated TS through systematic problem identification using the Multiple Criteria Utility Analysis (MCUA). TMS was evident in the planning and management of community interventions. CMS was reflected in effective responses to health crises, such as dengue outbreaks. TRS was noted for its ability to adapt to different socio-cultural environments. JRES was demonstrated through professional conduct in diverse institutional contexts. Authentic learning activities fostered readiness for complex public health roles. Conclusion: FLP_2 effectively evaluates comprehensive public health competencies. A shift towards performance-based, contextual assessment frameworks is essential for aligning education with workforce needs. Embedding such frameworks into curricula will enhance the quality and preparedness of graduates for addressing real-world challenges
