Abstract

Background : The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia continues to rise. Childhood obesity has become one of the major public health concerns, as it affects children’s growth and long-term health status. Objective : This study aimed to determine the factors associated with obesity among under-five children. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : The study was conducted among children living in the working area of Sukasari Primary Health Centre. This research employed a cross-sectional design involving 110 mothers with under-five children selected through purposive sampling. Data were analysed using the Chi-square test. Results : The results showed that the prevalence of obesity among under-five children was 27.3% (30 children). Hereditary factors, maternal education, maternal occupation, parental income, fast food consumption, consumption of sweet foods and beverages, and snack consumption (p-value < 0.05) were significantly associated with obesity among under-five children. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : Based on these findings, health facilities should strengthen parental education, particularly regarding complementary feeding (MP-ASI), as it plays a crucial role in shaping children’s early eating habits.

Abstract

Seafarers are a highly mobile maritime workforce vulnerable to risky sexual behaviors and limited access to HIV/AIDS testing and counseling. The dynamic port environment, combined with social and behavioral factors, heightens the risk of HIV transmission. Objective : to synthesize research findings on individual, social, and structural factors influencing HIV/AIDS prevention behaviors among seafarers in various ports in Indonesia and abroad. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : A Narrative Review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases for studies published from 2019 to 2025. Eligible studies included quantitative or qualitative research addressing risk factors, preventive behaviors, or access to HIV-related health services among seafarers. Studies focusing solely on technical shipping aspects were excluded. Twenty-six articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed descriptively Results : Risky behaviors among seafarers were shaped by individual (knowledge, attitude, condom use), social (peer support, influence of sex workers, docking duration, marital status), and structural factors (health service access, port policy, education). Condom use was the most dominant protective factor, while knowledge alone did not guarantee preventive behavior. Institutional and peer support promoted safe practices, but limited screening and counseling services at ports remained barriers. Cross-sector collaboration and free services supported better prevention outcomes Conclusion/Lesson Learned : Effective HIV/AIDS prevention among seafarers requires multidimensional interventions addressing behavioral, social, and policy aspects. Strengthening port health services, enhancing education, and expanding counseling and testing access are essential to reduce HIV risk in maritime populations

Abstract

Background : Service quality is a crucial factor for patient satisfaction and loyalty in healthcare facilities. The Government of Indonesia, through the Minister of Health Decree (Kemenkes) RI Number 129/Menkes/SK/II/2008, has set Minimum Service Standards (SPM) for outpatient satisfaction at ≥90%. A study in 2024 showed a relationship between service quality and patient satisfaction at RSIA Aisyiyah Samarinda, and an internal survey report for the January-June 2024 periodindicated that outpatient patient satisfaction was still below the 90% threshold. Objective : This study aims to provide an overview of outpatient service quality at RSIA Aisyiyah Samarinda in 2025 Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This was a descriptive quantitative study using accidental sampling technique, with data collected from 110 respondents (n=110). The service quality variable was measured using five dimensions (Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy) Results : The results showed that the overall average service quality at RSIA Aisyiyah Samarinda reached 90.6%, which falls into the “Very Good” category and meets the minimum standards set by the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes). The dimensions that exceeded the standard were Assurance (92.5%), Empathy (92.1%), and Reliability (91.0%). However, two dimensions remained below the 90% threshold, namely Responsiveness (89.3%) and Tangibles (88.0%). Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The overview of outpatient service quality at RSIA Aisyiyah Samarinda in 2025 was categorized as very good

Abstract

Background : Hypertension is one of the most common non-communicable diseases in Indonesia and requires long-term, continuous care. The Sungai Siring Community Health Center in North Samarinda records a high number of hypertensive patient visits every month. However, preliminary findings revealed several service issues, such as long waiting times, limited communication between patients and health workers, and lack of coordination among service units. These problems indicate a gap between patients’ expectations and the actual quality of services. Improving service quality is essential because it directly affects patient satisfaction, adherence to treatment, and continuity of care Objective : To analyze the relationship between the seven WHO dimensions of healthcare service quality—safety, effectiveness, timeliness, patient-centeredness, efficiency, equity, and integration— and patient satisfaction among hypertensive patients at the Sungai Siring Community Health Center, Samarinda. This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 139 hypertensive patients were selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering respondent characteristics, assessments of the seven service quality dimensions, and patient satisfaction levels. The data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05 Results : All seven dimensions of service quality showed a significant relationship with patient satisfaction (p = 0.001) Conclusion/Lesson Learned : Effectiveness and timeliness were the most influential dimensions. Providing effective, timeliness, efficient, and patient-centered care and integration can increase patient trust, loyalty, and adherence to hypertension treatment at the community health center.

Abstract

Background : Nurses are one of the professions most vulnerable to musculoskeletal pain due to their physically demanding clinical work, which involves prolonged standing, walking, heavy lifting (e.g., carrying patients, medical equipment), and repetitive movements. Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders at body region on nurses and its associated physical and psychosocial factors in the workplace. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This study is a systematic review of the prevalence of WRMSDs and their association with physical and psychosocial factors in nurses. The study was designed using reporting methods based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Results : A review shows that the prevalence of WRMSDs in nurses is very high, ranging from 77%– 97%, with the most frequently affected locations being the lower back, neck, and shoulders. The most frequently reported physical factors are significantly associated with: awkward postures, lifting or moving patients, lack of assistive devices, long work hours and inadequate rest, and understaffing. Psychosocial factors have a significant direct or indirect influence on WRMSDs in many studies: job stress and high psychological demands, lack of social support, work-family conflict, poor leadership, and anxiety or burnout. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : WRMSDs are the most common occupational health problem among nurses. Physical and psychosocial factors contribute significantly, both independently and mutually reinforcing. Effective prevention must include multidimensional interventions, including: Improved work ergonomics (assistive devices, work positions, task rotation), workload management and shift schedules, increased social support and positive leadership, and stress management and psychological well-being programs.

Abstract

Background : Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) remain key health indicators in Indonesia. According to data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health (2023), maternal deaths increased compared to the previous year. This study aimed to describe the delivery place preferences among pregnant women visiting Puskesmas Lempake and the factors influencing their decisions. Objective : To identify the characteristics and delivery place preferences planned by pregnant women attending Puskesmas Lempake Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : A descriptive quantitative study was conducted among all third-trimester pregnant women who visited Puskesmas Lempake in September 2025, with total sampling applied. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and secondary medical records. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage Results : Most pregnant women were aged 20-35 years and had a senior high school level of educaction. Hospitals were the most preferred delivery places, followed by private clinics or independent midwives, and Puskesmas Lempake. Decisions regarding delivery place were primarily made by the pregnant women themselves and were largely supported by their husbands. Distance, cost, and family advice were the main reasons for choosing Puskesmas, while those who did not choose it cited inadequate facilities and previous clinical complications. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The study highlights the need to strengthen health promotion and improve delivery facilities at Puskesmas Lempake. Increasing medical staff, particularly emergency doctors, and educating pregnant women and families about the importance of delivering at healthcare facilities are strongly recommended to reduce MMR and IMR.

Abstract

Pasundan Public Health Center ranks among the top three areas with the highest prevalence of Non- Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Samarinda City, with 23.2% hypertension and 2.95% diabetes mellitus cases. The main challenge lies in the suboptimal role of health cadres in implementing the Integrated Primary Care (ILP) program and their limited digital health literacy. This issue highlights a practical and scientific gap in the effective utilization of health cadres for NCD prevention and control through technology-based health education. To optimize the role of health cadres in the implementation of ILP by improving their knowledge, communication, and digital literacy skills for NCD prevention and control in tropical regions. The program was implemented through community service activities, including socialization, health education, and practical demonstrations involving 37 health cadres from 35 integrated health posts. Evaluation of outcomes was conducted using interactive pre–post tests and participant feedback to measure improvements in knowledge and skills. The evaluation showed a significant increase in cadres’ knowledge from 68% to 89%, along with an improvement in communication and digital literacy skills by 35–40%. The training enhanced cadres’ confidence and ability to utilize digital platforms in disseminating health information related to NCD prevention and control. The program successfully strengthened the capacity of health cadres in technology-based health promotion, supporting the sustainability and effectiveness of Integrated Primary Care at the primary healthcare level. Enhancing digital literacy among cadres is crucial for improving NCD prevention and control efforts in tropical regions.

Abstract

Background : Escherichia coli presence in animal-derived foods serves as a crucial indicator of hygiene and sanitation standards throughout handling, storage, and distribution. Frozen beef distributed to consumers risks contamination when food safety controls, particularly cold chain maintenance, are inconsistently implemented. This study assessed E. coli contamination levels in frozen beef marketed in Balikpapan City and evaluated compliance with the Maximum Contaminant Limit (MCL) under SNI 7388:2009. Objective : This study aimed to assess the contamination level of E. coli in frozen beef marketed in Balikpapan City and to evaluate its compliance with the Maximum Contamination Limit (MCL) established by SNI 7388:2009. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : A quantitative descriptive design with a laboratory testing approach was used. A total of 65 frozen beef samples were collected from modern retail outlets, slaughterhouses (RPH), and cold storage facilities. Laboratory examination was conducted through isolation, identification, and colony counting stages using standard microbiological method. The results were analyzed descriptively and compared with the MCL standards specified in SNI 7388:2009. Results : Analysis revealed that 55 samples (84.62%) contained E. coli levels below 1 × 102 CFU/g, complying with MCL requirements. However, 10 samples (15.38%) exceeded this limit, indicating non-compliance with food safety standards. These findings suggest potential contamination during post-slaughter handling, storage, or distribution phases, likely due to inadequate cold chain maintenance. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : In conclusion, the majority of frozen beef circulating in Balikpapan is considered safe for consumption; however, strengthening sanitation practices and ensuring strict cold chain management are recommended to minimize potential public health risks.

Abstract

Background : Adolescent obesity in Indonesia is increasing and poses a high risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. One contributing factor is poor nutrition knowledge and unhealthy eating patterns. Objective : This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition education in improving adolescents’ knowledge as an effort to prevent obesity. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : The intervention was delivered through interactive lectures, group discussions, and visual media (posters, booklets, videos), covering topics such as balanced nutrition, reducing excessive sugar and fat intake, and choosing healthy snacks. Thirty adolescent respondents participated in a pretest and posttest, with data analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and crosstab. Results : The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p = 0.004), with all respondents achieving a good knowledge category after the intervention. However, 73.3% of respondents still demonstrated less supportive attitudes. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : In conclusion, nutrition education effectively increased nutrition knowledge, but sustainable programs focusing on behavior habituation through the involvement of schools, families, and social media are recommended to foster long-term positive attitudes.

Abstract

Background : Stunting remains a significant chronic nutritional problem in Indonesia, particularly among children born to adolescent mothers. These young mothers often face limitations in nutritional knowledge, lower health literacy, and suboptimal reproductive preparedness, which collectively increase the risk of stunting in their children. Objective : This study aimed to conduct a review to determine the association between adolescent mothers’ nutritional knowledge and the incidence of stunting in toddlers, and to identify the contributing factors. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This was a systematic review conducting following the PRISMA guidelines and utilizing the Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework. Articles were collected through searching the Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Crossref databases for studies up to October 2025. Two reviewers independently screened and included full- text article that examined Mothers Knowledge and stunting, focusing on the concept of knowledge, adolescent mother, and stunting. Results : A review included five articles. Adolescent mothers’ knowledge had a significant association with the incidence of stunting. This association was often strengthened by confounding factors such as socio-economic status, low education levels, limited access to healthcare services, and inadequate childcare practices. Several studies found that improving maternal nutritional literacy and initiating early prenatal care can effectively reduce the risk of stunting in children. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : Low nutritional knowledge among adolescent mothers is confirmed as an important determinant of stunting in toddlers. Intervention efforts need to be focused on enhancing the education and nutritional literacy of adolescent girls through structured programs, including school-based education, adolescent mother classes in community health centers (Puskesmas), and targeted community campaigns. The integrated approach is crucial to break the intergenerational cycle of stunting and foster the development of quality human resources.
