Abstract

The phenomenon of adolescents involved in the prostitution industry was widespread globally, including in Indonesia. This study focused on the changing patterns of prostitution, motivations, perceptions, and risks faced by adolescent sex workers. The research used a mixed-method approach, employing both quantitative and qualitative designs. Data were collected through surveys involving adolescent sex workers and general adolescents, as well as in-depth interviews with adolescent sex workers. The quantitative study included 360 respondents, comprising 180 general adolescents and 180 adolescent sex workers, while the qualitative study involved 30 adolescent sex workers as informants. The research was conducted in Bali, South Kalimantan, West Java, North Sulawesi, North Sumatra, and Central Java provinces. The findings revealed a shift in prostitution patterns among adolescents from conventional (street-based) prostitution to online prostitution via digital platforms. Adolescents had greater opportunities to become online sex workers due to the diversity of social media platforms and service types available. Economic factors accounted for 81.7% of adolescents' reasons for becoming sex workers. There was a disparity in perceptions between general adolescents and the actual challenges faced by adolescent sex workers. Among adolescent sex workers, 80% had low reproductive health knowledge, 23% had experienced sexually transmitted infections (STIs), 16% had faced unwanted pregnancies, and 7% had undergone abortions. It was concluded that there were significant changes in the patterns, motivations, perceptions, and risks associated with adolescent sex work.

Abstract

MSDs disorders among dentists are one of the most common complaints. This study aims to explore risk factors that can increase the incidence of MSDs among young dentists. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with a population of 162 who will be used as the entire sample. The questionnaire instrument contains questions about gender, age, weight, height, smoking habits, how long to sleep in a day, exercise habits, length of work and length of service. There is also a standard questionnaire , namely the Nordic Body Map to evaluate musculoskeletal disorders in individuals. Data analysis used the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression test. Results: The highest MSDs were reported to occur in the upper back (69.8 % ) followed by the lower back (67.3%) and neck (63.6%) while the lowest prevalence was reported in the ankle (8.6%). Gender, length of service, length of service and exercise habits are associated with the occurrence of MSDs. Conclusion: The prevalence of MSDs among young dentists is still high. Length of service is the most influential risk factor.

Abstract

Malaria drug resistance, including to development of resistance against artemisinin based treatments, poses a major challenge to elimination efforts. Alpha-mangostin, an antioxidant with in vitro antimalarial activity, is hindered by its poor solubility. This study explores the antimalarial effects of water-soluble alpha-mangostin chitosan-alginate nanoparticles (ACAN) in mice with berghei malaria. Mice were treated with various doses of ACAN, compared to alpha-mangostin in polyethylene glycol (PEG), as well as in corn oil (ACO) and chloroquine as a standard. Growth inhibition rates were assessed, revealing no inhibition in the PEG and normal control (NC) groups, while ACO was less active. The effective dose 50 (ED50) of ACAN was 264.5 mg/kg BW, containing only 15.87 mg of alpha-mangostin, suggesting that alpha-mangostin in ACAN may offer promising in vivo antimalarial activity. Further investigation is needed.

Abstract

Hypertension in adults aged 45-55 years has a significant impact on heart health and morbidity. Hypertension is estimated to affect 1.56 billion people by 2025 and become a leading cause of death. In Indonesia, the prevalence is 18.7% in the 45-54 age group, with North Sulawesi ranking third highest. In Kotamobagu, hypertension ranks second among non-communicable diseases with 24,956 cases. This high number emphasizes the importance of prevention and control. A deep understanding of modifiable risk factors is needed to develop effective prevention strategies. This study aims to identify the primary risk factors that influence the prevalence of hypertension in the adult population of Kotamobagu City. This descriptive-quantitative study used an analytical observational study design with a cross-sectional technique. The study was conducted in Kotamobagu City, North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, from July to August 2024. This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional method, data collection using a digital sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure, an Easy Touch GCU Meter to analyze dyslipidemia and blood sugar levels, and a questionnaire to assess physical activity, diet, salt consumption, alcohol consumption, and smoking habits. The sample consisted of 388 hypertensive patients selected using the Slovin Formula, and the statistical analysis used was chi-square. The results showed that diet, dyslipidemia, obesity, high salt consumption, alcohol, and smoking were significantly correlated with hypertension. Based on the odds ratio, the factors that had the strongest relationship with the incidence of hypertension were poor diet (OR = 1.53), dyslipidemia (OR = 1.49), and excessive salt consumption (OR = 1.46).

Abstract

Stunting remains a critical public health challenge in Indonesia, impacting child growth, cognitive development, and long-term productivity. The government has prioritized interventions targeting families at risk of stunting to reduce its prevalence. This study examines the relationship between families at risk of stunting and stunting prevalence in Indonesia by an ecological study design. Data were analyzed at the district/city level using correlation analysis to assess key risk factors. The findings indicate that inadequate access to safe drinking water, poor sanitation, substandard housing, and reproductive health risks among women of reproductive age are significantly correlated with higher stunting prevalence (p<0.05). The correlation coefficients for these factors are 0.14, 0.19, 0.17, and 0.33, respectively. Furthermore, a one percent reduction in families at risk of stunting is associated with a 0.19 percent decrease in stunting prevalence (R² = 16%). These results highlight the need for comprehensive interventions addressing environmental, socio-economic, and maternal health factors. Strengthening policies that improve access to clean water, sanitation, and maternal health services is crucial to accelerating stunting reduction efforts in Indonesia. Prioritizing families at risk can enhance the effectiveness of government strategies in achieving national stunting decrease targets.

Abstract

Dengue fever in Indonesia is still classified as a serious disease because it has increased yearly from 2011 to 2013. This study aims to determine the difference in the effectiveness of various types of water in the queue as a trap for eggs of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Bukittinggi. This type of research is experimental. The test used is the Anova test because the data is not normal using the Mann-Whitney test. The research sample used a sampling technique. This study uses primary data which can be seen from the number of trapped Aedes Aegypti mosquito eggs. The results showed that between the straw bales using well water and mineral water, the p-value was (0.421)> ɑ (0.05), meaning that there was no difference between the straw-soaked line with well water and water mineral. Meanwhile, after a statistical test was carried out between the straw bales using mineral water and rainwater, the p-value was (0.008)> ɑ (0.05), (Ho was rejected, Ha was accepted), meaning that there was a difference between the straw-soaked anthers and mineral water and rainwater. Based on the results of various types of attractants on the number of Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs trapped in the applied science laboratory of the University of Fort De Kock, Bukittinggi, the straw-soaked extract with rainwater is more effective because it produces more eggs than the extract soaked in straw with well water and extract soaked in straw with mineral water.

Abstract

This study intends to develop a performance model for hospital medical staff by analyzing the influence of work meaning and servant leadership on job performance, as well as testing the mediation role of employee gratitude and work engagement, including measuring the impact of all variables if tested simultaneously. Some previous empirical studies have stated that servant leadership has a 67% effect on improving employee performance, but other studies show the opposite. The respondents of this study were 323 medical record officers from private hospitals in Makassar City. This study uses a factorial correlation design that was tested using the Statistical Program for Social Science (SPSS) and Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) version 22. The study results show that employee gratitude significantly strengthens the relationship between servant leadership and job performance. In addition, work engagement has proven to be a suitable catalyst for the relationship between meaningful work and job performance. Developing dimensions and indicators of servant leadership, meaningful work, employee gratitude, work engagement, and job performance from the perspective of employee interaction with the organization is valuable in strengthening social exchange theory in the health sector. This study also suggests that hospital management should always maintain employee gratitude and employee work engagement as an effective strategy for improving the performance of hospital medical record officers.

Abstract

Intestinal parasitic infection is an infectious disease still found in tropical countries with inadequate implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS). Parasites that generally infect the intestines are soil-borne worms and protozoa. The worms that infect a lot are Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH), namely Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and Hookworm. Cryptosporidiosis is an infectious disease caused by infection with the protozoan Cryptosporidium sp. that causes watery diarrhea. Nutritional status is an important factor in the immune system. The purpose of this study was to identify STH and Cryptosporidium sp infections and link them with the application of PHBS and nutritional status in elementary school students in Wori District, North Minahasa Regency. This type of research is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional design. The sample amounted to 160 respondents from six elementary schools taken by purposive sampling. STH examination using the native method and Cryptosporidium sp examination using Zn modification staining, nutritional status measurement was carried out based on BMI / U. This study concluded that 100% of respondents were not infected with cryptosporidium sp parasites, 8% of respondents were infected with Soil-Transmitted Helminth and there was no relationship with nutritional status respondents where 87% of respondents have normal nutritional status, 5% undernourished, 6% well-nourished and 2% obese.

Abstract

Adherence of HIV/AIDS patients in ARV therapy is an important factor in the success of HIV/AIDS treatment because continuous ARVs can suppress the development of the virus, reduce viral resistance, improve the HIV/AIDS patient's quality of life, and improve their health in general. This study aimed to review the literature that has researched factors related to the non-adherence of HIV/AIDS patients in taking ARV therapy. The research conducted an empirical analysis related to the aspects of adherence of HIV/AIDS patients to antiretroviral therapy (ART).  A total of 71 kinds of literature discusses the adherence of patients with HIV/AIDS to treatment with ARVs. Literature was obtained based on searches on the Scopus website for the year 2019-2023. The literature is dominant in 2019 and has decreased over time. The publication is predominantly in Q1-indexed journals, with the first author coming from the USA. General factors that become ART adherence based on the literature include finance, mental health, alcohol consumption, drug abuse, belief, self-efficacy, knowledge, homeless, support, and tobacco/smoking. The most commonly encountered factors are support and mental health. The further suggestions for medical personnel or patients with HIV/AIDS and their families to be more synergistic in carrying out medical therapy.

Abstract

An unhealthy lifestyle can increase people's risk of developing non-communicable diseases. Obesity, Hypertension, and Diabetes Mellitus are metabolic disorders suffered by people who at the end of this decade attack younger age groups. So, it is important to immediately get handling from the government. For this reason, the government needs to realize policies in the form of stipulating regulations in controlling the consumption of unhealthy products through effective methods. The purpose of the study is to review the effectiveness of regulations and warnings with food labeling in controlling consumption patterns. The systematic review approach of literature review with PRISMA searches for articles in three databases: PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Ten articles were selected through several stages of screening and underwent quality assessment. According to the findings of the study, the establishment of government/stakeholder regulations in related sectors and warnings with food labeling with increased food literacy can increase the effectiveness of controlling the consumption of unhealthy products sustainably. Food labeling needs to emphasize information related to healthy or unhealthy products to consume.
