Abstract

Handwashing with Soap (HWWS) is a cornerstone in preventing infectious diseases in school environments, particularly among adolescents who exhibit high mobility and intense social interactions. However, the implementation of HWWS in schools is frequently hindered by cognitive, affective, and structural factors. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and the availability of facilities with HWWS behavior among students at Karya Bakti High School, Selesai District. This quantitative study employed a descriptive cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted at Karya Bakti High School, Selesai District. The study population comprised all students, with a sample size of 132 respondents selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were gathered via structured questionnaires that had undergone validity and reliability testing, and subsequently analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test. The findings indicated that the majority of respondents possessed good knowledge (54.5%), demonstrated supportive attitudes (51.5%), and perceived the school's HWWS facilities as adequate (56.1%). Nevertheless, 48.5% of the students still exhibited poor HWWS practices. Statistical tests revealed a significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.002), attitude (p = 0.001), and the availability of facilities (p < 0.001) with students' HWWS behavior. Students' HWWS behavior is simultaneously influenced by internal factors (knowledge and attitude) and external factors (infrastructure/facilities). The school administration is expected to enhance the supervision and maintenance of sanitation facilities and integrate sustainable health education in a multidimensional manner.

Abstract

The use of traditional medicines (herbs) to support the stamina of independent work is very prevalent in suburban areas, but the variation in public perception of the effectiveness and safety of its preparations has not been comprehensively mapped. This study aims to analyze univariately demographic characteristics, knowledge level, benefit perception, safety perception, trust level, frequency of use, and perception of the effectiveness of herbal medicines in maintaining stamina in adult communities in Sei Beras Sekata Village, Sunggal District. This type of research is quantitative with  a cross-sectional descriptive design. The research was conducted in Sei Beras Sekata Village with a sample of 150 adult respondents selected through simple random sampling techniques. Data were collected using a valid and reliable structured questionnaire, then processed using univariate analysis of frequency distribution. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents had a good level of knowledge (58.7%), a high perception of benefits (64.0%), and a strong sociocultural belief (61.3%) in the existence of herbs. Conversely, perceptions of clinical safety aspects are in the hesitation/less safe zone (54.7%). The pattern of herbal use was dominated by occasional/incidental frequency (48.0%) with the level of perception of post-consumption effectiveness that was considered quite effective (56.0%). The adult community in Sei Beras Sekata Village has high optimism and dependence on herbal medicines to maintain stamina, but is still overshadowed by uncertainty over the standardization of the safety of preparations. Integrative community pharmacy education is very urgent to ensure the safe, rational, and evidence-based use of herbs (evidence-based traditional medicine).

Abstract

Tobacco consumption remains a significant global epidemiological burden, particularly in rural areas with limited access to structured health information. Comprehensive knowledge and responsive attitudes are crucial foundations for reducing smoking prevalence at the community level. This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge, attitudes, smoking status, information sources, and community risk perceptions regarding the dangers of smoking in Nambiki Village, Langkat Regency. The quantitative research design used a descriptive cross-sectional approach. The study population included all residents aged ≥ 17 years and over in Nambiki Village. A sample of 100 respondents was selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through structured interviews using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis used a descriptive univariate approach to generate frequency distributions and percentages. The majority of respondents had sufficient (45.0%) and insufficient (30.0%) knowledge. 58.0% of respondents expressed negative attitudes toward smoking control efforts. Active smoking status was recorded at 52.0%, with the majority of smokers smoking indoors. Social media (38.0%) and peers (25.0%) are the dominant sources of information compared to official health care channels (15.0%). Perception of the risk of degenerative diseases caused by smoking remains low, particularly in the perceived susceptibility dimension. Smoking behavior in rural areas is conditioned by low health literacy, permissive attitudes, and minimal penetration of health promotion by local medical authorities. Repositioning health promotion strategies based on local wisdom and optimizing digital channels is needed to change community risk perceptions.

Abstract

Academic pressures and psychosocial transitions in urban higher education environments place students at risk of mental distress. Poorly managed stress directly contributes to circadian rhythm disruption and decreased sleep hygiene. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stress levels and sleep quality among active university students in Medan. This quantitative study used an observational analytical design using a cross-sectional approach. This study involved 150 active university students in Medan selected using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data collection used a standardized questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) to measure stress levels and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Spearman Rank correlation test and cross-table analysis with an Odds Ratio (OR) parameter at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the univariate analysis showed that the majority of students experienced moderate (53.3%) and high (26.7%) levels of stress. A sleep quality evaluation revealed that 73.3% of respondents reported poor sleep quality. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant and positive association between stress levels and poor sleep quality in college students (p < 0.001; r = 0.584). Respondents with high stress levels were 4.8 times more likely to experience poor sleep quality compared to those with low stress levels (OR = 4.82; 95% CI = 2.15 - 10.81). High stress levels are strongly correlated with decreased sleep quality among college students in Medan. The development of an integrated early detection system for mental health and preventive health promotion services within the campus environment is needed.

Abstract

Optimizing the function of Primary Health Facilities (FKTP) as gatekeepers for the National Health Insurance (JKN) in rural areas, such as Toba Regency, still faces the challenge of unequal utilization. This quantitative cross-sectional study analyzed the dominant factors influencing BPJS Kesehatan participants' preferences in selecting FKTPs. The study sample included 391 respondents selected using a proportionate random sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and then analyzed univariately, bivariately using the Chi-Square test, and multivariately using Multiple Logistic Regression. The bivariate test results showed that all independent variables were significantly associated with FKTP selection (p-value <0.05). Based on the multivariate analysis, perceived service quality was the most dominant factor, with the highest Odds Ratio (OR) of 4.12 (95% CI: 2.34–7.25). The next dominant factors were the availability of health workers and medicines (OR = 2.85), and waiting time for services (OR = 2.11). In conclusion, participant preferences are largely determined by subjective assessments of the quality of clinical services and medical support facilities. Therefore, local governments and the BPJS Kesehatan (Social Security Agency for Health) need to standardize service quality and ensure equitable distribution of medication and healthcare workers across rural primary care facilities (FKTP) to prevent patient congestion.
