Abstract

Overweight and obesity, marked by excessive body fat, significantly contribute to chronic diseases, including non-communicable diseases, leading to over 4 million deaths globally. In Sri Lanka, obesity is highly prevalent among female teachers, necessitating an exploration of associated factors for effective risk reduction. This study examined the prevalence and determinants of overweight and obesity among female teachers in Sri Lankan state schools. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 328 teachers in the Matara educational zone, utilizing a multistage sampling technique. Data on socio-demographic, lifestyle, work, environmental, and medical factors were collected. Physical activity was assessed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and analyzed with MET values. A validated questionnaire (IOC: 0.67–1.00, Cronbach’s alpha: 0.70–0.84) ensured reliability, and binary logistic regression identified associated factors. The average age was 44.17 years, with 86.28% married. Based on Asian BMI standards, 73.2% were overweight or obese. Insufficient physical activity (71.04%) and poor dietary habits (58.54%) were the most common issues. Major risk factors included low physical activity (AOR = 7.14; 95% CI: 3.78–13.01) and poor dietary habits (AOR = 1.91; 95% CI: 1.03–3.54). Interventions should promote lifestyle behavior, including physical activity and healthier diets, while policies must raise awareness of obesity-related health risks.

Abstract

Although modern medicine continues to develop, traditional medicine is still widely used in various parts of Indonesia, including the natural resource-rich Maluku Province. Socioeconomic conditions are thought to influence people’s dependence on traditional healing practices. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic status and the use of traditional medicine in East Seram District (ESD), Maluku Province. A cross-sectional household health survey was conducted in September-December 2023 among 253 respondents aged 18-65 years in eastern Seram Island. A quantitative-descriptive approach was used with structured interviews and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A total of 45.8% of respondents reported using traditional medicine, especially herbal concoctions. Individuals who do not pay for health insurance membership tend to use traditional medicine (aOR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.66-5.00, p<0.001). Similarly, respondents with low educational attainment (aOR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.00–2.92, p= 0.048) were more likely to use traditional medicine. These results suggest the importance of socioeconomic factors in the use of traditional medicine. Health promotion strategies need to be adapted to the local and cultural context to encourage rational and safe utilization of traditional medicine.

Abstract

Stunting is a complex public health problem in Indonesia. The incidence of stunting in Kudus City was 3,601 toddlers (5.85%), with the highest prevalence in Dawe District (13.32%), Undaan District (11.13%), Gebog District (10.66%), and 238 children under five, accompanied by comorbidities such as acute respiratory tract infections (ARI), diarrhea, tuberculosis (TB), and worms. One of the determining factors for success in combating stunting is family independence in managing the health of toddlers. However, family independence is constrained by limited access to information, lack of balanced nutrition education, sanitation, personal hygiene, symptoms of comorbidities, monitoring and development of toddlers not routinely, non-compliance with immunization and treatment. Smartphone applications can be used to overcome these obstacles. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the “Family Care Stunting” smartphone application in improving the health independence of families of stunted toddlers with comorbidities. This study used a research and development design, with 201 respondents from families of stunted toddlers who had comorbidities. Effectiveness was analyzed using the Wilcoxon nonparametric differential test to compare the level of family health independence before and after the intervention. There was a significant increase in the level of family health independence after the intervention of the “Family Care Stunting” smartphone application (p-value = 0.000). This application has the potential to be an innovative tool that supports families to play an active role in child health management, thereby contributing to more comprehensive stunting prevention and handling efforts.

Abstract

Nursing services in home healthcare are becoming increasingly important as the number of patients requiring long-term care and post-inpatient care increases. The standard of nursing care delivered at home is crucial for the well-being of both patients and their families. This study investigates how health professionals perceive the creation of quality nursing services in home healthcare. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative approach with an in-depth interview method. Ten health professionals, including nurses, doctors, and home health care managers, were selected as participants through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis methods to identify relevant themes and subthemes. Results: The results show that the quality of nursing services at home is created through several key factors: competency and training of nurses, effective communication between health teams, involvement of families in care, availability of resources, and clear management and policy support. Nurse competence and training are considered the most crucial factors affecting service quality. In addition, good communication between healthcare professionals and patients' families is also regarded as essential to creating a holistic and patient-centered service. Conclusions: The quality of nursing services in home health care depends on various factors, including nurse competency, effective communication, and family involvement. Managerial support and supportive policies are also essential to ensure that nurses can deliver optimal care. This research provides valuable insight for developing training programs and policies to enhance the quality of home nursing services.

Abstract

Dengue fever is a health challenge in tropical and subtropical countries. The increase in dengue cases in Indonesia is influented by urbanization, climate change, higher population mobility, and community behavior. This study aims to describe the climate factors, temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind speed, as well as dengue fever cases. This study uses a descriptive observational design with an ecological study approach. The data collection technique used in this study was secondary data in the form of documentation studies by analyzing records of dengue fever case numbers and climate data. The average monthly temperature ranges from 26.8 to 31.3°C, the average monthly humidity ranges from 65.1 to 85.7%, and rainfall fluctuates significantly, with the highest intensity reaching 28.7 mm. Dengue fever cases show a fluctuating trend, with the highest number in 2023 at 541 cases. Climate factors play a role in the dynamics of dengue cases in Semarang City. Temperature and humidity are within the optimal range that supports mosquito breeding and dengue virus transmission. High rainfall allows for puddles of water to form, which serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Low wind speeds also facilitate mosquito flight activity.
