Abstract

Measles is an airborne disease with a very high transmission rate. There has been a global increase in both morbidity and mortality due to measles. In 2023, outbreaks occurred in several regions, particularly in Central Sulawesi, with Palu City being notably affected. This study aimed to evaluate the surveillance activities following the measles outbreak in the jurisdiction of the Palu City District Health Office, employing a systems approach. The research respondents included surveillance officers from the Palu City Health Office and those from the Puskesmas (community health centers) within its area. Data were collected through interviews and observations. The findings revealed several issues in the input aspect of surveillance, including overlapping roles for surveillance officers, a lack of knowledge transfer to new personnel, insufficient tactical funding for outbreak responses, and inadequate computer resources at some health centers to support surveillance activities. In the process aspect, challenges included the absence of designated contact persons from hospitals for all public health centers (PHCs), delays in the timely collection of zero case data, and inconsistent data processing with sub-district stratification among PHCs. Regarding the output aspect, reports were often not delivered promptly, and the dissemination of information was limited to internal stakeholders.

Abstract

The global and national increase in the elderly population has brought about various economic, psychological, and health-related challenges, as evidenced by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and obesity—many of which are linked to insufficient physical activity. Physical inactivity among the elderly can be attributed to several factors, including limited social support and restricted access to safe and age-friendly environments. Given the limited research in this area, it is essential to examine the relationship between social and environmental factors and physical activity among older adults in Yogyakarta City. This study aims to explore in greater depth how social and environmental factors contribute to the level of physical activity among the elderly. A cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals aged over 60 years, with a total sample of 297 elderly participants selected using purposive sampling based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research took place in Yogyakarta City between August 2024 and February 2025. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included demographic characteristics and social factors. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square tests with SPSS version 22.0. Result: It showed that 57.9% of the elderly participants were physically active. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between social and environmental factors and physical activity (p < 0.005). Conclusion: The high prevalence of physical inactivity among the elderly highlights the need for local government strategies to promote physical activity through community-based approaches. These should involve enhancing social support and creating supportive environments that encourage active lifestyles among older adults. These findings are highly relevant for the development of community-based geriatric health policies

Abstract

The increased use of masks has led to a new problem, namely the rise in the amount of mask waste, which has the potential to become a medium for virus transmission if not properly managed. Therefore, proper management of mask waste is necessary to reduce the amount of waste and minimize the spread of COVID-19 through used masks. The purpose of this study is to describe the mask waste management practices among students of the Faculty of Public Health at Nusa Cendana University. This is a quantitative descriptive study conducted using a survey method. The population in this study consists of active students of the Faculty of Public Health at Nusa Cendana University, with a total sample of 322 respondents selected using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The data analysis used was univariate analysis, which only looks at the frequency distribution of each variable studied. The results showed that 51.9% of respondents demonstrated good mask waste management practices, as indicated by proper actions in collecting, sorting, disinfecting, altering the form, disposing of the waste, and washing hands after handling used masks. Students with good knowledge and positive attitudes were more likely to practice proper mask waste management. A total of 91.9% of students had good knowledge, and 86.3% had positive attitudes. It is recommended that the Faculty of Public Health at Nusa Cendana University provide special waste bins specifically for mask waste.

Abstract

Food insecurity remains a significant public health issue, especially among infants and young children. This study aimed to identify the determinants of food security among 6-23-month-old infants in Mangkupalas, Samarinda, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 137 households with infants aged 6-23 months in Puskesmas Mangkupalas area. The study used consecutive sampling in 3 villages namely tenun, mesjid and mangkupalas. Quantitative data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using spearman rank correlation test.A total of 73.7% of households locatednear markets were food secure compared to 52.5% of those far from markets, and this distance was statistically associated with household food security(p = 0.019, r = -0.201). Household income showed a significant positive association with food security (p = 0.008, r = 0.226), where 76.7% of households earning ≥3,500,000 IDR/month were food secure compared to only 52.2% among those earning ≤1,500,000 IDR/month. Interestingly, home gardening, which theoretically influences food security, was not found to have a significant association(p = 0.884, r = 0.017).The findings indicate that in urban areas, where food access heavily depends on purchasing power and proximity to food sources, household food security is shaped more by economic stability and market access than by subsistence practices like home gardening. Limited land availability and a narrow variety of cultivated crops may constrain the effectiveness of home gardening in contributing to nutritional adequacy.

Abstract

The quality of services at RSUD Taman Husada has not met the expected standards, partly due to disparities in employment status affecting compensation and career development. Assessing employee job satisfaction is crucial, as it directly influences service effectiveness and patient satisfaction. This study aimed to describe job satisfaction and community satisfaction at RSUD Taman Husada and to analyze the factors associated with job satisfaction and its relationship to community satisfaction. This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 250 employees at Taman Husada Regional Hospital. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to assess job satisfaction and community satisfaction. Statistical analyses, including Spearman's rank correlation and logistic regression, were conducted to identify significant factors associated with job satisfaction and its relationship to public satisfaction. The results showed that job satisfaction was categorized as high (78.42), while the community satisfaction index was very good (89.59). Significant factors influencing job satisfaction included achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement, work itself, compensation, job security, working conditions, organizational policies, technical supervision, and interpersonal relationships (p < 0.005). The most dominant factor was work itself (OR = 16.89). No significant relationship was found between job satisfaction and community satisfaction in the aspect of employee behavior (p = 0.715). It was concluded that intrinsic and extrinsic factors significantly affect job satisfaction. However, a direct relationship with community satisfaction has not been established.

Abstract

Obesity among children and adolescents has become a serious global health problem. This is demonstrated by WHO data with child and adolescent obesity rates in Southeast Asia increasing with the prevalence of obesity ranging from 31% in Southeast Asia. This study aims to explore current scientific evidence that can inform the formulation of more effective adolescent obesity prevention and intervention strategies in the region. Between 2020-2024, searches were sourced from Google Scholar and Pubmed, using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) with exclusion criteria, and 8 relevant articles were obtained for analysis. The results showed that the increasing prevalence of adolescent obesity in Southeast Asia is evidenced by several contributing factors including, lack of physical activity due to gadgets, parental roles, poor diet, and family and socioeconomic environments that limit access to health. It was concluded that the lack of physical activity due to gadgets, the role of parents, poor diet, family’s role and socio-economic environment that limits access to health are factors that cause adolescent obesity. Integrated efforts need to be made through nutrition and physical activity education since school age, empowering the role of parents in shaping healthy eating patterns at home, and providing facilities that encourage active lifestyles.
