Abstract

This study evaluates the sanitation conditions, disinfection practices, and presence of E. coli in Swimming Pool, Cimahi City. Using a descriptive survey method, we assessed water quality and staff behavior. The sample in this study was one of the swimming pools with the most users, which is around 48 people/pool /day.  The data analysis of this study is a descriptive with observation and measurement methods which aims to describe and explain the sanitary conditions of swimming pools, the behavior of swimming pool staff regarding disinfection, and Escherichia coli bacteria. Results showed unqualified free chlorine levels (0 mg/l) and high E. coli counts (6–75 CFU/100 ml). Sanitation practices were rated as unhealthy (72.2%), and staff performance in disinfection was very poor. These findings indicate a need for immediate improvements in pool sanitation to protect public health.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (pulmonary TB) is a contagious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pulmonary TB can be fatal for those affected. This study aimed to determine the relationship between comorbidities, contact history, nutritional status, smoking habits, and prison time with pulmonary tuberculosis among inmates. A case-control research design was used, with purposive sampling of 82 inmates from the Class IIA penitentiary in Jambi City in 2024. Data collection took place from January to July 2024. The research variables included age, comorbidities, contact history, nutritional status, smoking habits, and prison time, assessed through interviews, BMI measurement, and tuberculosis diagnosis. The data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 94.1% of participants were aged 15–64, 91.8% had no comorbidities, 56.5% had a history of contact, 55.3% had a normal BMI (<18.5), 70.5% were smokers, and 83.5% had been incarcerated for more than three months. There was no significant association between pulmonary TB and comorbidities (OR 3.16, 95% CI 0.32–31.7). However, significant relationships were found with contact history (OR 39.27, 95% CI 9.93–155.25), nutritional status (OR 45.04, 95% CI 11.23–180.58), and smoking habits (OR 7.24, 95% CI 2.18–24.08). No significant relationship was observed between pulmonary TB and prison time (OR 3.07, 95% CI 0.75–12.53).

Abstract

Public Health Centers with a high incidence of environment-based diseases showed that the percentage of sanitation clinic program implementation was lower compared to those with a low incidence of environment-based diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of sanitation clinic activities at the Tanjung Pinang Public Health Center and the Paal V Public Health Center in Jambi City in 2024. This study employed a qualitative method conducted from May to June 2024. Data were obtained from 11 informants selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The sanitation personnel at both Public Health Centers had not received sanitation clinic training. There was no budget allocated for sanitation clinic activities at either health center. The facilities at Paal V were less complete than those at Tanjung Pinang. The method used at Tanjung Pinang followed the Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 13 of 2015, while Paal V referred to the Ministry of Health guidelines from 2001. Both health centers had planning activities. Tanjung Pinang implemented counseling, environmental inspections, and environmental interventions, while Paal V only provided counseling. The output for counseling, environmental inspections, and environmental interventions was higher at Tanjung Pinang compared to Paal V. Tanjung Pinang is expected to remain consistent in implementing the sanitation clinic program. Paal V is encouraged to improve its counseling, environmental inspections, and environmental interventions.

Abstract

Background: In the pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing industry, health risks involve high occupational health risks, especially in handling active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This research addresses the challenge that effective risk management is essential to safeguard worker health, particularly in the production of critical products such as Non-Beta Lactams (NBL) and Penicillin. Objective: evaluating and investigating occupational health risks in the NBL and Penicillin production units, identifying key risk factors and proposing strategies to reduce exposure. Methods: This study used an observational cross-sectional design was used, focusing on environmental conditions, particulate concentrations, and compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE). The framework based on the concept of Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) assessed the level of risk across all stages of production, including weighing, mixing, granulation, and coating. Findings: Unit NBL indicated higher particulate levels (140 µg/m³) compared to unit Penicillin (100 µg/m³), especially during high exposure stages such as granulation, exceeding the WHO guideline (PM2.5 exposure is 25 µg/m³ for a 24-hour period) . The compliance with PPE was found to be lower in the NBL unit, which correlated with an increased incident rate. The risk assessment identified weighing and granulation as high-risk stages, requiring stricter controls. Conclusions: Reducing occupational health risks in the NBL and Penicillin units urgently requires improved engineering controls, PPE protocols and worker training. Model limitations highlight the need for enhanced risk assessment tools to improve safety outcomes.

Abstract

Health literacy is one of the determinants of health that can help develop public health. It is an important component in empowering individuals regarding their health. Someone with low health literacy has limited information about their health condition and does not understand how to maintain it. The aim of this review was to explore health literacy in society and the factors that influence it. A literature search was conducted in March 2021. Research sources were taken from several databases, namely ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and PubMed. The ScienceDirect database contained 69,360 articles, ProQuest 130,006, and PubMed 17,038. From all databases, only 45 articles met the inclusion criteria. The variables in this study were the domains of health literacy and the factors that influence it. This literature review showed that the domains "feeling understood and supported by healthcare providers" and "understanding health information well enough to know what to do" had the highest scores, while the domains "appraisal of health information" and "navigating the healthcare system" had the lowest scores. Factors that affected health literacy included age, gender, education, income, language, health status, and marital status. The highest scores for health literacy were in domains 1 and 9, while the lowest scores were in domains 5 and 7. Education was the most influential factor across all domains of health literacy.

Abstract

There were several environmental challenges in urban areas, especially related to solid waste management. Learning and community engagement in schools were crucial to promoting sustainability and environmental awareness. A mini-review was conducted to explore the potential of student-led efforts to divert organic waste, specifically fallen dry leaves. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), we examined how environmental awareness impacted pro-environmental behavior. Students contributed to sustainable waste management by becoming aware of environmental issues and taking action. Educating students about environmental issues played a crucial role in cultivating environmental awareness. By integrating environmental concepts into the curriculum and organizing extracurricular activities, schools prepared students to address environmental challenges. Even after specific programs such as Adiwiyata were concluded, challenges remained in sustaining environmental initiatives. Schools needed to prioritize environmental education, engage students in active participation, and create an environment that fostered a sustainable culture to ensure long-term impact. Schools made a real difference to the environment by managing organic waste and promoting environmental awareness.

Abstract

This study evaluated the surface water quality at two lakes on the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) campus in Surabaya, Indonesia from October to December 2024. Water samples from ITS Lake Eight (SS1) and the ITS Student Dormitory Lake (SS2) were analyzed for eight parameters: Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solids TDS, pH, temperature, Electrical Conductivity (EC), and turbidity. The results showed that COD, BOD, DO, and turbidity exceeded national quality standards at both locations, while TDS and pH remained within acceptable limits. SS2 exhibited poorer water quality than SS1 due to its proximity to dormitory drainage and domestic waste pollution. Seasonal variations significantly affected water quality, with BOD and COD increasing during the dry season and DO, TDS, and turbidity rising during the rainy season. The main pollution sources were organic matter decomposition and anthropogenic activities, leading to eutrophication and algal growth.

Abstract

Diarrhea has been one of the major health issues, particularly among children, and the performance of healthcare workers in implementing effective diarrhea programs has been crucial for its prevention and treatment. The success of diarrhea control may be influenced by the performance of healthcare workers; however, implementation has remained suboptimal in some areas, including the Marawola Community Health Center, which has experienced fluctuating diarrhea incidence rates. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of healthcare workers' performance in implementing diarrhea programs on the prevalence of diarrhea cases among children. This study employed quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted in the service area of the Marawola Health Center in 2024. The study sample consisted of 77 respondents selected using stratified random sampling. Data was collected through questionnaires, and analysis was performed using logistic regression. The results of the logistic regression analysis indicated that the performance of healthcare workers in implementing the diarrhea program significantly affected the incidence of diarrhea in children (p = 0.017), although the constant value was not statistically significant (p = 0.163). This suggests that other factors need to be considered in addition to healthcare worker performance when optimizing the diarrhea program for children. In conclusion, the performance of healthcare workers needs to be improved in the implementation of diarrhea programs for children. Strategies such as training, supervision, the use of technology, and community involvement can be implemented. Further research is needed to explore other factors influencing the effectiveness of these programs.

Abstract

Longhouses in Sarawak were deeply rooted in Indigenous culture but faced significant fire risks due to their wooden structures, open-flame cooking, and poor electrical installations. This study aimed to explore fire safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among a longhouse community in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 46 respondents using a 25-item questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.76), and data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed that 61% (M = 21.39, SD = ±5.43) of respondents had good fire safety knowledge, 87% (M = 27.74, SD = ±4.77) demonstrated a positive attitude, and 63% (M = 14.72, SD = ±2.56) engaged in good fire safety practices. However, correlation analysis showed no significant relationships (p > 0.05) between knowledge and attitude (r = -0.05), knowledge and practice (r = 0.27), or attitude and practice (r = 0.11), suggesting that knowledge alone did not ensure behavioral change. Factors such as lack of training and risk perception might have influenced fire safety practices. These findings highlighted the need for targeted fire safety interventions, including hands-on training, community engagement, and improved access to fire prevention tools, and emphasized that strengthening fire safety education and policy enforcement was essential to reduce fire incidents in longhouse communities.

Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as significant aquatic pollutants, yet standardized protocols for their detection and biological impact assessment remain limited. This study systematically evaluated current analytical methods used for microplastic identification and synthesized existing evidence on their reported health effects in fish. Following the PRISMA framework, a comprehensive literature search identified eight eligible studies encompassing both laboratory and field investigations. Results indicated that Raman and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were the most frequently employed analytical techniques. Raman spectroscopy demonstrated greater sensitivity for MPs smaller than 20 μm, whereas FTIR provided reliable identification of larger particles. Stereomicroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were also utilized, although they offered limited chemical specificity. The reviewed studies revealed species- and condition-dependent toxicological outcomes. Smaller MPs induced more pronounced oxidative stress, apoptosis, and genotoxicity, particularly in liver and muscle tissues, with perch appearing more sensitive than zebrafish. Additionally, polymer type, particle size, exposure duration, exposure route, and concentration were key determinants of toxicity. Overall, polystyrene and polypropylene were consistently linked to stronger biochemical disruptions, whereas polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) exhibited site-specific effects in wild-caught fish. These findings underscore the need for multi-analytical approaches and integrated biomarker assays to improve MP detection and ecological risk assessment in aquatic organisms.
