Abstract

The results of a preliminary study conducted on nurses at Pandan Arang Hospital, Boyolali Regency, showed that 80% of nurses who handled COVID-19 patients had been confirmed positive for COVID-19. 75% of them experience work stress, preliminary survey results show that concerns about being infected with COVID 19 and increasing workloads are the main factors for work stress among nurses. This study aims to analyze what factors are related to work stress in nurses who provide services to COVID-19 patients at Pandan Arang Boyolali Regional Hospital. The study utilized a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 76 nurses in the COVID-19 care unit determined through total sampling. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires, and data analysis was performed using bivariate analysis. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that job conflict (B = 1.636, p < 0.001) and family conflict (B = 0.634, p < 0.001) had a significant effect on work stress, while age, gender, and education level did not show a significant relationship with work stress (p > 0.05). The practical implication of this study is the importance of managing job conflict to reduce work stress.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is an infectious disease caused by acute viral infection, namely the dengue virus. Symptoms include fever for 2-7 days, accompanied by signs of bleeding, a decrease in the number of platelets (thrombocytopenia), and plasma leakage characterized by hemoconcentration. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors that most influence the incidence of dengue fever in the city of Semarang. This research uses a case control research design. The case population is all dengue sufferers, while the control population is people who are declared negative for dengue fever through microscopic examination of blood smears. The sample consisted of 2 groups, namely 45 respondents in the case group and 45 respondents in the control group, accompanied by the use of purposive random sampling techniques. The instrument uses a questionnaire sheet. Data analysis used the Chi Square test and Logistic Regression test. The results of the research show that there is a correlation between water storage, level of knowledge, efforts to eradicate mosquito nesting areas, use of anti-mosquito medication and behavior of hanging clothes with dengue cases (p-value < 0.05). Factors that influence the incidence of dengue fever are water storage, level of knowledge, and efforts to eradicate mosquito nests. It is necessary to carry out preventive efforts independently for each family member.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is an important policy to ensure the health of infants and mothers. Semarang, as one of Indonesia's metropolitan cities, faces challenges in implementing this policy. Evaluation of the exclusive breastfeeding program is necessary to understand its implementation success and influencing factors. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the exclusive breastfeeding policy in Semarang. The method used is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with health officials, lactating mothers, and relevant stakeholders in Semarang's exclusive breastfeeding policy implementation. The research findings indicate several challenges in the implementation, such as low public awareness of the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and inadequate government supervision. Based on the research results, evaluation of input from various research informants indicates that the planned breastfeeding program has been well communicated despite some obstacles. Program evaluation is conducted monthly by health centers through recording and reporting. Evaluation of the implementation of the exclusive breastfeeding policy in Semarang is carried out using an output evaluation model, assessing the coverage rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Semarang, which shows an increase in the coverage rate of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Anemia is a severe public health problem with the incidence of anemia among pregnant women in Indonesia at 46.2% based on data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the incidence of anemia among pregnant women in Indonesia. The cross-sectional design of the study was using secondary data from IFLS 5 which was conducted from September 2014 to March 2015 on 292 pregnant women out of 53,160 respondents based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Chi-square analysis showed that maternal age, maternal occupation, smoking habit, food frequency, green vegetable consumption, vitamin C consumption, socioeconomic status and health service distance were not associated with the incidence of anemia among pregnant women in Indonesia. Whereas maternal education (p=0.006), nutritional status (p=0.003), gestational age (p=0.001), iron consumption (p=0.001), ANC examination (p=0.006) and protein consumption (p=0.012) were associated with the incidence of anemia among pregnant women in Indonesia. Multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regression showed maternal education (p=0.014), nutritional status (p=<0.001), gestational age (p=0.002), iron consumption (p=0.008) and protein consumption (p=0.038) were associated with the incidence of anemia among pregnant women in Indonesia. Gestational age was the most dominant variable associated with the incidence of anemia among pregnant women after controlling for maternal education, nutritional status, iron consumption and protein consumption (OR=3.029; 95% CI=1.520-6.038).
