Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic provides many lessons for all countries to prepare the health system and society when an outbreak of a disease occurs. From COVID-19, we learn that community participation in preventing COVID-19 is mandatory. This study aims to determine the relationship between sociodemographics, knowledge, and attitudes toward prevention measures for COVID-19. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Mergangsan subdistrict, Yogyakarta City, Indonesia, in February-April 2022. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information from 350 participants. Univariate and bivariate analysis was performed to analyze the data. Our study found that age, gender, level of education, and attitude were significantly associated with COVID-19 prevention measures. Men-employed people and people with low knowledge and attitudes had a higher possibility of having poor prevention measures towards COVID-19. Considering the result of this study, increasing community participation in COVID-19 prevention measures requires interventions and programs tailored to specific layers by targeting men, working groups, and insufficient knowledge and behavior towards COVID-19.

Abstract

Stunting is a growth failure due to a lack of nutrition that has lasted from pregnancy to 24 months of age. This study aims to examine the effect of moringa supplementation during pregnancy on stunting in preschool children (5-6 years old). This study is a follow-up study of a Randomized Control Trial with Double Blind study that provides moringa supplements in the form of PG (Powder Group), EG (Extract Group), and as well as IFA (Iron Folate Acid) supplements to pregnant women. The subjects were 303 children in six sub-districts in Jeneponto District who were children of mothers who received supplementation of PG, EG, and IFA during pregnancy. Children’s height was measured using a microtoice. Data were statistically analyzed using the Logistic Regression test. The results showed a significant difference between the three groups. EG intervention had a significant effect on stunting in preschool-age children (5-6 years old). EG intervention (24.18%) showed the lowest prevalence of stunting among PG (25.47) and IFA (38.68%) interventions. EG prevented stunting by 2.215 times compared to the other intervention groups. The provision of Moringa extract to pregnant women has a better effect on reducing stunting.

Abstract

Along with the growth of the palm-oil industry in Indonesia, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) experienced by palm-oil harvesting workers also increased. This paper aims to evaluate ergonomic risk factors among harvesting palm workers in East Kalimantan and to propose suggestions to mitigate the risks. A total sample of 70 workers from 3 plantations in Muara Wahau, Babulu, and Muara Badak was observed in 2023. Gotrak survey and ergonomic risk factor (ERF) questionnaire of SNI 9011:2021 were utilized for determining the WMSD and identifying the ergonomics risk, respectively. The result showed that 91% of workers experienced pain after work, and 72% frequently experienced physical fatigue. The Gotrak survey on cutting and carrying bunches activity revealed high exposure risk for the neck (97%), followed by the shoulder (77%) and knee (55%). Meanwhile, during the activity of loading bunches onto the truck, high exposure risk occurs in the shoulders (73%), elbows (53%), and knees (53%). The result of the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test indicates that there is a difference in Gotrak levels among the three locations. The Gotrak level in Muara Wahau is the highest, followed by Babulu and Muara Badak. The results of the ERF questionnaire showed that loading to truck, followed by carrying FFB to the fruit collection point, were the two activities with high ERF scores, i.e., 39 and 34, respectively. Finally, improvements such as stretching exercises before and during work, as well as redesigning ergonomic T-hook and egrek, will mitigate the risk.

Abstract

The Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18) is an 18-item self-report checklist designed to screen for psychological symptoms in medical patients. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of BSI among a diverse group of Indonesian adolescents. This study involved 80 15 to 18-year-old adolescents from a drug rehabilitation center in West Java, Indonesia. The instrument was translated into Bahasa Indonesia, and its content validity index was calculated using Aiken’s V formula. The CVI ranged from 0.73 to 1.00 for BSI. The factor loadings of each of the three scales in the BSI ranged from 0.43 and 0.88. The model was acceptable and appropriate when confirmatory factor analyses of the BSI were conducted. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the BSI was 0.925. The findings of this study give evidence that the BSI is a viable and beneficial screening tool for detecting substance use problems among Indonesian adolescents.

Abstract

Oyster mushrooms easily wilt and turn brown because of bacteria and enzymatic reactions. Preservation of oyster mushrooms has been done in the freezer, which can only last 3-4 days. In addition, preservation using chemicals can cause side effects such as diarrhea to long-term cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the shelf life of white oyster mushroom products using the innovation of making preservatives with titanium dioxide doped nitrogen (N-TiO2). The method used is the sol-gel method with TiCl4 as the precursor of TiO2 and diethylamine as the nitrogen-doped precursor. N-Doped TiO2 was characterized using FTIR, XRD, and antibacterial activity tests. The results of the FTIR spectrometer showed peaks at 518 and 678 cm-1, which indicated the presence of vibrations from TiO2. Analysis of the crystalline phase of TiO2 using XRD obtained a mixed phase in the form of anatase with peaks at 55.10 (2Ø) and rutile at 27.40 (2Ø). Anti-bacterial activity test showed that N-TiO2 was able to inhibit the growth of E. coli bacteria by 6.48±0.42 mm. The results of the organoleptic test showed that preservation using photocatalyst can extend the preservation time of oyster mushrooms, which is about 6-9 days, longer than the ideal preservation time of oyster mushrooms. This technological innovation can answer the problems of oyster mushroom farmers in Banyumeneng Village related to oyster mushroom harvests that are wasted because they are rotten and cannot be sold.

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.
