Abstract

Hypertension is a major health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence rate of 39.3% in East Kalimantan, including in West Kutai Regency. This study aims to analyze the relationship between consumption of high-risk foods and beverages and physical activity with the incidence of hypertension among the Kutai people in the working area of the Penyinggahan Health Center. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 with a sample of 140 respondents aged 30–64 years selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected using FFQ and IPAQ questionnaires and analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact Test), and multivariate (Logistic Regression) methods. The results showed that 51.4% of respondents suffered from hypertension, with significant associations found with high-risk BMI (p=0.000; OR=3.699), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (p<0.05), and consumption of fat, oil, salt, and sugar (p<0.05). No significant relationships were found with protein, fiber, potassium, fruits, vegetables, age, gender, or ethnicity. In conclusion, high-risk BMI, inadequate physical activity, and dietary patterns low in protein, fiber, and potassium are dominant risk factors for hypertension among the Kutai people.

Abstract

Acute respiratory infections (ARI) remain one of the leading causes of illness in children under five years of age, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. However, few studies have examined how parents' knowledge, behavior, and environmental factors together influence the occurrence of ARI. This study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted at the Puskesmas Trauma Center in Samarinda from June to July 2025. Thirty-one parents of children under five years of age diagnosed with ARI were selected through accidental sampling and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The results showed that most respondents had good knowledge about ARI prevention, but their preventive behaviors were inconsistent, such as exposure to secondhand smoke and the use of masks. Environmental risks such as household waste burning and indoor air pollution were still commonly found. These findings indicate that having good knowledge alone is not sufficient to reduce ARI cases without behavioral changes and support from the environment. This study highlights the importance of integrated public health education and environmental interventions to effectively prevent ARI in children under five years of age.

Abstract

Places of worship are intensively used public facilities, and inadequate environmental quality may heighten the risk of disease transmission. Monitoring of sanitation compliance in such facilities remains limited, particularly in densely populated residential areas with greater environmental vulnerability. This study aimed to describe environmental health conditions and sanitation facilities in places of worship situated in densely populated areas of Samarinda City, Indonesia. A descriptive observational design was applied using a sanitation assessment checklist covering location, building conditions, clean water, wastewater disposal, solid waste management, latrine conditions, ventilation, lighting, and worship facilities. A total of 20 worship places were evaluated, and data were analyzed descriptively using frequencies, percentages, and mean scores. Results showed that all sites (100%) achieved scores ≥7000, indicating compliance with sanitation requirements, with an average score of 12,535. Clean water availability, flooring, wall conditions, and ventilation were the best-performing aspects (100%). However, deficiencies were observed in lighting (80%), sealed wastewater channels (65%), and standardized temporary waste storage (50%). Overall, sanitation conditions were good, although improvements in lighting and waste management remain necessary.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major public health concern, with risk factors increasingly observed among younger populations. To describe and compare behavioral and biological NCD risk factors among adolescents (15–19 years), young adults (20–24 years), and adults (25–59 years) in Samarinda, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 242 respondents using the WHO STEPS questionnaire, covering behavioral factors (tobacco, alcohol, physical activity, diet) and biological factors (BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol). Smoking was highest among young adults (22.2%) versus adolescents (9.3%) and adults (17.7%). Adolescents reported relatively higher alcohol use (12.4%). Young adults showed more sedentary behavior (40%). Fruit consumption was inadequate across all groups. Overweight/obesity prevalence increased with age: adolescents (19.4%), young adults (24.4%), adults (54.4%). Adults showed higher hypertension (44.1%) and high cholesterol (35.3%). Behavioral risks emerge during adolescence, while biological risks accumulate with age. Early prevention targeting youth through community-based education and health monitoring is essential.

Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls is a significant health problem due to increased iron requirements during puberty. Iron supplements are an important intervention, but previous studies have shown that 58.4% of adolescent girls have low compliance rates. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes toward iron supplement consumption among high school students in Samarinda City. This study used a cross-sectional design involving 466 respondents from three secondary schools. Data were collected through an online questionnaire covering knowledge, attitude, and TTD consumption variables. Results showed that 47.2% of respondents had very good knowledge and 90.3% had a positive attitude. Bivariate analysis showed no significant relationship between knowledge and TTD consumption (OR = 1.039; 95% CI: 0.680–1.587; p = 0.860). Conversely, attitude showed a significant relationship, where students with negative attitudes were less likely to consume TTD (OR = 1.613; 95% CI: 1.052–2.471; p = 0.028). These findings indicate that attitude has a greater influence than knowledge in promoting TTD consumption behavior. Interventions to improve TTD consumption compliance should focus on fostering positive attitudes among adolescent girls.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly hypertension, pose a significant health concern in East Kalimantan, with a national prevalence of 34.1% among individuals aged ≥ 18 years. The underutilization of spatial data frequently gives rise to interventions that are not targeted with optimal precision. The objective of this study is to map the incidence of hypertension and its risk factors in 10 districts/cities in East Kalimantan Province. This study employs a descriptive approach to investigate the prevalence of hypertension and its associated risk factors. The data were collected from the Indonesian Healthy Application for Non-Communicable Diseases (ASIK) program. The sample in this study consisted of all 10 districts/cities in East Kalimantan Province that have implemented the ASIK NCD information system program in 2024. The analysis was conducted using descriptive methods and presented in the following forms: narrative, tabular, and mapping. These data were analyzed using the QGIS application. The analysis revealed that the highest prevalence of hypertension was observed in Penajam Paser Utara (36.5%) and Samarinda (36.0%), while the largest absolute case burden was identified in Kutai Kartanegara (84,335 individuals). The analysis revealed significant disparities in risk factors, with Mahakam Ulu District exhibiting predominance in nearly all domains, including insufficient physical activity (70.7%), alcohol consumption (25.5%), obesity (34.5%), and smoking (22.7%). In conclusion, the distribution of hypertension in East Kalimantan is fairly even, but it is driven by different risk determinants across regions. This makes it challenging to implement uniform prevention strategies.

Abstract

There is a new regulation in bringing health services closer to the community, namely Primary Service Integration (ILP), which is an important part of the transformation of the health system in primary care initiated by the Ministry of Health. This study was a qualitative study of online news portal content that aims to explain ILP policy in Indonesia. The research sample consists of national online media news about ILP policy published between January and June 2024. The researcher used the keyword ‘ILP’ and searched two online news portals. MAXQDA software was also used as a data analysis tool in this study. Features used included Word Cloud and word frequency to understand the main concepts. The results showed that there were four dominant topics in the coverage of well-known online media in Indonesia related to ILP policy in Indonesia. The topic of expectations related to ILP was the most dominant topic with 12 quotes

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis remains a persistent public health concern among women of reproductive age due to the risk of congenital transmission and severe fetal outcomes. This narrative review aimed to synthesize recent evidence on infection determinants and evaluate evidence-based strategies to mitigate risks, addressing persistent gaps in awareness and intervention efficacy. A comprehensive literature search of PubMed and Google Scholar was conducted for studies published between 2016 and 2025. The findings reveal substantial geographic variation in seroprevalence, influenced by environmental conditions, cultural practices, and socioeconomic disparities. Higher infection rates were consistently reported among older, multiparous, rural, and less-educated women. Key risk factors included consumption of contaminated water, undercooked meat, and poor hygiene practices, while associations with cat ownership were inconsistent. Overall, knowledge and awareness of toxoplasmosis were low among women and healthcare providers. Although educational interventions and antenatal screening demonstrated potential benefits, their effectiveness remains insufficiently evaluated. Integrated, context-specific prevention strategies are urgently needed to reduce infection risk and prevent congenital toxoplasmosis.
