Abstract

Vaginal discharge (leucorrhea) is a common reproductive health problem among adolescent girls. Adolescents need accurate information to remain alert and to practice healthy reproductive behavior, especially in interactions with the opposite sex. The occurrence of female reproductive tract diseases is generally caused by a lack of understanding among women about how to maintain hygiene and what actions should be taken to keep the reproductive organs healthy. Vaginal discharge can be physiological (normal) or pathological (abnormal), in which abnormal discharge is an early indication of infection or cancer. Vaginal discharge is one of the signs or symptoms of abnormalities in the female reproductive organs. Adolescence is a transitional period that often presents various growth and development issues, especially among girls whose cervix is biologically immature. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls in the management of vaginal discharge at SMA Negeri 2 Kupang. The research method used was cross-sectional. The study was conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Kupang, with a total population of 277 female students in grade XI. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling, resulting in a sample size of 55 respondents. Data were collected using a survey method with a questionnaire as the research instrument. The results showed that among respondents with poor knowledge, 15 students (78.9%) had a positive/supportive attitude and 4 students (21.1%) had a negative/non-supportive attitude toward the management of vaginal discharge. The Chi-square test indicated a significant level of 0.01, thus it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls in the management of vaginal discharge.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is an infectious disease that attacks toddlers, children, and adults that occurs in the respiratory tract and is mostly a viral infection. One of the factors causing ARI is the physical condition of the house. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical condition of the houses of ARI sufferers in Tunbaun Village, West Amarasi District, Kupang Regency. This descriptive study was conducted by surveying the physical condition of the houses of ARI sufferers. The sample was 99 houses of ARI sufferers in Nunbaun Village in 2022. The research variables were lighting, ventilation, humidity, flooring, occupancy density, and temperature. This study found that the physical condition of the houses of ARI sufferers, the lighting variable, 21 houses (21%) met the requirements, and 78 houses (79%) did not meet the requirements. The ventilation variable, 68 houses (69%) met the requirements and 31 houses (31%) did not meet the requirements. The humidity variable, 38 houses (38%) met the requirements, and 61 houses (62%) did not meet the requirements. The floor condition variable met the requirements in 43 houses (43%), and did not meet the requirements in 56 houses (57%). Regarding the density of bedrooms of patients, 79 houses (80%) met the requirements, and 20 houses (20%) did not meet the requirements. The temperature variable was 11 houses (11%) met the requirements and 88 houses (89%) did not meet the requirements. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that house floors are not made of earth, and cement floors must also be regularly cleaned. Residents should open windows to ensure optimum humidity and provide artificial ventilation.

Abstract

Dengue Fever is an acute epidemic disease caused by a virus transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedesalbopictus. Infected sufferers will have symptoms ranging from mild to high fever, accompanied by headaches, pain in the eyes, muscles and joints, to spontaneous bleeding. There are four different dengue viruses, which can cause dengue fever. Dengue virus is a virus from the genus Flaviviridea, family flaviviridea. This study aims to determine community actions in preventing dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in Liliba sub-district, Kupang City. This type of research is descriptive research with research variables namely the use of abate, how to store clean water, mosquito breeding places (breeding places), the use of repellents/anti-mosquito drugs and the number of free larvae (ABJ). The community's water storage practices were categorized as insufficient at 40.2%, and community actions in water storage were categorized as insufficient at 1.0%. Community actions in mosquito breeding places in Liliba Village were categorized as insufficient at 5.2%. Community actions in the use of mosquito repellents were categorized as insufficient at 19.6%. The larvae-free rate (ABJ) in Liliba Village was 74.2%. It is hoped that stricter evaluation and control of Aedes sp. larvae through PSN-DBD activities will be carried out. More frequent outreach and encouraging the community to implement the 3M activities, leaflets and larvicide distribution will be carried out to break the life cycle of Aedes sp. mosquitoes, which aims to break the chain of dengue transmission and thus increase the Larvae-Free Rate (ABJ)

Abstract

Parasites that can be transmitted by flies include Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworm eggs. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential for parasite spread through flies in food stalls at the Naikoten 1 Inpres Market, Kupang City. This type of research is descriptive research. The research variables are fly density levels, fly types, and parasites on fly bodies. The sample in this study was 4 food stalls that have the potential for parasite transmission at the Naikoten 1 Inpres Market, Kupang City. Data collection methods were obtained by measuring fly density levels using a Flygrill, as well as examining fly types and parasites on fly bodies using a microscope. The results of the fly density measurement study at food stalls at the Naikoten 1 Inpres Market, Kupang City were categorized as low (100%). The types of flies caught were 95% Musca domestica (house flies) and 5% Sarcophaga flies. The results of the worm egg examination found 35% Ascaris lumbricoides and 5% Trichuris Trichiura. For this reason, there needs to be socialization and community empowerment in food and drink sanitation so that the chain of transmission of worm eggs to humans can be broken through fly control and attention to the cleanliness of sales locations.

Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a major global health concern, particularly in Indonesia, where it accounts for a significant proportion of cancer cases among women. This study aimed to determine the effect of audiovisual-based health education on knowledge regarding early detection and prevention of cervical cancer among female students at Sint Carolus Kupang Catholic High School. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed. The research was conducted at the school in 2023, involving all 35 Grade XI female students as the sample, divided into three study groups. The independent variable was health education using audiovisual media, and the dependent variable was students’ knowledge level. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered before and after the intervention and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results showed a statistically significant increase in knowledge scores after the intervention (p = 0.000 < 0.05). The findings indicate that audiovisual health education effectively improves students’ understanding of cervical cancer prevention and early detection. It is recommended that the school integrate such educational strategies into its health curriculum to promote long-term awareness and preventive behavior among adolescents.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a global health issue requiring serious attention, including in Indonesia. This condition affects children’s physical growth, brain development, and future productivity. This study aims to determine the effect of health education using banner media on increasing mothers’ knowledge in efforts to prevent stunting among children aged 2–5 years at Sikumana Health Center, Kupang City. This research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design, employing a one group pre-test post-test approach. The study was conducted from March to April 2024 with a total of 64 mothers who had stunted children aged 2–5 years, selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of 15 closed-ended questions and analyzed using the Wilcoxon statistical test. The results showed a significant increase in mothers’ knowledge after receiving health education through banner media, with an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (< 0.05). This indicates that health education with banner media has a significant effect on improving mothers’ knowledge in stunting prevention. In conclusion, health education through banner media is effective in increasing maternal understanding and awareness about stunting prevention. It is recommended that health centers utilize visual educational media such as banners to enhance public health knowledge and help reduce stunting prevalence.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cervix or the neck of the uterus. Cervical cancer remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among women globally and is a gynecological disease with a relatively high malignancy rate. The low level of knowledge among women of reproductive age (WRA) regarding the importance of early detection of cervical cancer in Indonesia is due to a lack of awareness and information about methods for prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) is one method for the early detection of cervical cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the knowledge and attitude of women of reproductive age (WRA) and the early detection of cervical cancer using the VIA method at Bakunase Community Health Center in 2016. This study used an analytical survey research design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was WRA, totaling 622 people. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling, which involved 86 people. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate analysis in the form of frequency distribution and percentage, and bivariate analysis using the chi-square (x2) test. Out of the 86 respondents, 47 respondents (54.7%) had good knowledge and 39 respondents (45.3%) had poor knowledge. Regarding attitude, there were 65 respondents (75.6%) with a positive attitude and 21 respondents (24.4%) with a negative attitude. There is a relationship between the knowledge and attitude of WRA and the early detection of cervical cancer using the VIA method with a p-value of 0.043.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an acute febrile disease caused by the dengue virus, which enters the human bloodstream through the bite of mosquitoes of the genus Aedes, Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between home environmental conditions and knowledge about dengue hemorrhagic fever with the presence of Aedes sp larvae. In this study, researchers used an analytical research type that aims to determine the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. This research design is a cross-sectional study where independent variables and dependent variables are studied simultaneously. The research variables are environmental conditions which include the type of landfill, location of the landfill, condition of the landfill, number of landfills, lighting, ventilation, respondent knowledge and the presence of Aedes sp larvae. The method used to observe the presence of larvae in containers was visual inspection. The population in this study was all houses in RT 18, Oesapa Village, including those with dengue fever cases (6 cases) in 2022 and those without. The sample size was the total number of houses in RT 18, which is 42. Respondents were housewives or family members responsible for housekeeping. Data analysis used a chi-square test with a significance level of p>0.05 (95% confidence interval). The results of this study indicate that factors associated with the presence of larvae include the type of landfill (p = 0.000), the number of landfills (p = 0.005), and ventilation (p = 0.000). Other variables examined that were not related to the presence of larvae included the location of the landfill, its condition, lighting, and respondents' knowledge. Community efforts to control larvae include installing wire mesh over each ventilation hole and regularly emptying the landfill at least once a week.
