<![CDATA[COVID-19 outbreak added unprecedented threatens to the food system worldwide. The enactment of social restriction regulation by several provinces in Indonesia may give an impact to household food security. Economical access to food might be compromised since the application of work from home policy, particularly for those who earn income from informal sector jobs. This study aims to determine the proportion of household food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic, identify the associated factors, and the strongest predictor of household food insecurity. This cross-sectional study design was carried out in Java and Sulawesi. A Self-administered Google Form Questionnaire was filled out by 191 women of reproductive age as the household food gatekeeper. Household food insecurity was evaluated using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) Questionnaire by FAO that consisted of eight gradual questions. Data analysis was performed using statistical software for univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (logistic regression). The proportion of food insecurity in the study was 29.8%, encompassed 19.9% mild food insecure, 7.3% moderate food insecure, and 2.6% severe food insecure. Food insecurity was significantly associated with place of residence, family income, and education. Living in urban areas was among the robust predictor of household food insecurity (OR 5.59, CI 95%), meaning living in urban was a risk factor of household food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Urban living was highly dependent on routine salary since they might not occupy with some sort of alternative source for income like in the rural areas, however, there was income reduction during the crisis. Food insecurity might be a sting in the tail of the COVID-19 pandemic, food policy regarding this matter is urgently required.]]>

<![CDATA[Central obesity, widely known as a major cardiovascular disease risk factor, threatens the urban poor more than other socio-economic groups. The study intended to disclose the prevalence and determinants of central obesity in urban slum dwellers in North Jakarta. We conducted a survey study on residents aged 15 and above. The study randomly recruited two hundred forty-eight residents for direct interviews and body measurements according to the minimum sample requirement. Sociodemographic and Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) risk factors questionnaires were used and asked after weight, height, and waist circumference measurements. Descriptive and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine the central obesity prevalence and associated determinants. The central obesity prevalence in urban slum dwellers reaches 68.1%, presiding in women (69.4%) than men (65.3%). The multivariate binary logistic regression analysis indicates that central obesity was higher in the 30-59 y.o age group (Prevalence Ratio [PR]= 1.68; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.19-2.37) and ≥ 60 y.o age group (PR = 1.76; 95%CI = 1.20-1.41). Besides, the residents who do not eat fruits and vegetables daily (PR=1.20; 95%CI=1.01-1.41) and practice less physical activity (PR=1.25; 95%CI=1.01-1.56) were more likely to have central obesity. The productive age group and elderly are at a higher risk for central obesity in an urban slum. Although notable as the main risk factors for central obesity, less consumption of fruits, vegetables and lack of physical activity highlight the urgent need to provide affordable, healthier options for urban slum dwellers.]]>

<![CDATA[International travel to a country has potentially carry health risks for travelers, including backpackers. To date, little is known about Travel Health knowledge and perception among foreign backpackers traveling to Bali. This study aimed to explore the level of knowledge and perception, as well as health information that backpackers need in their destination, Bali. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, conducted from December 2017 to January 2018 in Bali. This study involved 133 backpackers, taken by convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and were analysed descriptively. The results showed that backpackers’ knowledge was inadequate, especially to common diseases or health problems that occurred to travelers in Bali. There were 94.74% have low knowledge about rabies, 48.87% have less knowledge about methanol poisoning and 58.65% have low knowledge about diarrhoea. A total of 69.18% backpackers have a perception that they were not prone to being exposed to diseases and health problems in Bali and 36.84% were not aware that they had to seek health information before traveling to Bali. Almost all stated that they needed complete, destination-specific health information. It is necessary to increase backpackers’ knowledge and awareness regarding Travel Health at the destination. The development of integrated health promotion media about travel health in Bali, in form of web-based or application-based is one of the strategies to consider.]]>

<![CDATA[Manufacturing and construction companies are significant contributors to most accidents in Indonesia. Accident frequency rate (AFR) can be reduced by adopting an appropriate management system, technical approach, and safety culture at the workplace. Employees' perception of Work Safety culture is the key to success in minimizing AFR. A survey of employees' perception of safety can identify their reality concerning the Safety Climate at their workplace. The study aimed to observe Safety Climate through a survey of employees' perception on the dimensions of management commitment, safety communication, safety rules and procedures, supportive environment, personal safety involvement and needs, and safety training. The study discusses possible ways to improve the safety climate in their organization and provides feedback to maintain and improve it. A mixed-methods descriptive design was used for this study. The sample size was determined using the Slovin formula and the sample selection using the Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling method. The survey was conducted on 156 employees using a questionnaire model with a personal approach to all levels of employees in a feminine care products manufacturing company. The survey result was analyzed quantitatively through assessments on questionnaires and qualitatively through employees' comments. The study found employees' perception of safety climate to be at a reasonable level. The management commitment dimension in this study has the best assessment result. The analysis results showed that the active role of the leadership, strong safety values to build employee interaction, employee involvement and investment in training programs for employees were critical keys to the successful implementation of Occupational Safety.]]>

<![CDATA[Leukorrhea (Vaginal discharge) is one of the reproductive health problems that adolescent girls face. According to research, 75% of women worldwide have experienced leukorrhea. Leukorrhea, alternatively referred to as fluor albus, is a symptom of the female reproductive organs disease that can result in severe complications if left untreated. It is believed that a low level of knowledge, negative attitudes, and bad personal hygiene habits contribute to pathological leukorrhea. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of knowledge, attitudes, and personal hygiene behaviour on pathological leukorrhea in adolescent girls attending the Vocational High School (SMK) 'Aisyiyah Palembang in 2020. This study used an analytical cross-sectional design and a simple random sampling method with 92 respondents. The results indicated a statistical significance between pathological leukorrhea and knowledge (p-value 0.004), attitude (p-value 0.001), and personal hygiene behaviour (p-value 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that the bad personal hygiene behaviour variable (p-value 0.018) was the most determinant associated with pathological leukorrhea (PR = 3.305, 95 per cent confidence interval [CI]:1.232-8.868). This study concludes that persistently bad personal hygiene practices may increase the risk of pathological leukorrhea in adolescent girls. Suggestions for young women to reduce their reliance on pantyliners, wear sweat-absorbing underwear, and avoid tight underwear.]]>

<![CDATA[COVID-19 vaccine can protect the public and suppress COVID-19 cases. But there are still many people who refuse to be vaccinated. The study aims to analyze the psychosocial aspects in the Acceptance of COVID-19 Vaccines. This study is a systematic review with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses). The database used to search data and information is PubMed. The keywords used during the search process are "Determinants" OR "Accepting" AND "Acceptance of COVID-19 Vaccination". The most psychosocial aspects related to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance include education level, income level, race, type of work, trust in the existence of COVID-19, trust in COVID-19 information resources, trust in medical and health workers, and having family members or friends who are infected with COVID-19. Education level, income level, and race influence the most in accepting the COVID-19 vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccine program should consider and overcome the challenges of receiving and rejecting vaccines from the public by looking at these aspects. ]]>

<![CDATA[The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on hospitals. Hospitals have to survive and make various modifications in an effort to adapt to uncertain conditions, even transform the hospital's strategic plan that has been made previously. This study aims to re-evaluate various hospital strategic plans and evaluate aspects that often change during a pandemic, as well as determine the potential for strategic planning that can be used. We initially conducted an English literature search using the electronic database, PROQUEST, Scopus, Pubmed, Science Direct, 2020-2021. After that, the study quality assessment and data extraction were carried out. A total of 1951 eligible articles were identified, The remaining 18 studies were screened. Subsequently, 10 articles were removed after a full-text review. Finally, 8 articles met the inclusion criteria for this review. Most of the hospitals in the sample show increasing and decreasing returns to scale. The inefficiency stems from the hospital's suboptimal scale, not from a lack of management ability to convert inputs into outputs. Public health centers develop systems for office support, infection control, hospital coordination, and outsourced inventory control. The impact of COVID-19 that can be felt by the community in the field of health services is the lack of availability of hospitals that can accommodate COVID-19 patients and non-COVID-19 patients. There are still many hospitals that still accept non-COVID-19 patients who have comorbidities, while hospitals also accept COVID-19 patients, one of which is asymptomatic people (OTG) who are difficult to detect. Efforts to respond to the pandemic from the start and then implement strategic measures are highly dependent on the resilience of hospitals. Strategic planning transformation can be a solution for hospital organizations to remain resilient and advanced in an uncertain era.]]>

<![CDATA[The neonatal mortality rate in Indonesia is still relatively high (15 per 1,000 live births). The number of children born to a woman (parity) is also still high. The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is 2.4 per woman. This study aims to determine the effect of parity on neonatal deaths in Indonesia. We used 2017 IDHS data with a cross-sectional design includes 14,827 live births in the 2012-2017 period. Data were analyzed using the multiple logistic regressions method. The results showed that primipara had a statistically insignificant relationship (p-value > 0.05) compared with multipara. While parity≥4 had a risk of 1.90 times experienced on neonatal mortality compared with multipara (95% CI:1,00-3,63) after being controlled by the maternal age, birth attendant, and place of delivery and statistically significant (p-value≤0,05). Thus, parity ≥4 was significantly associated with neonatal mortality. The more children born to mothers, the higher the risk of neonatal death. While parity 1 did not have a significant relationship with neonatal mortality. It is recommended that family planning programs be increased to reduce parity to avoid the risk of neonatal death. The BKKBN program should be improved in reducing TFR.]]>

<![CDATA[Covid infection risks among non-medical staff in healthcare facilities may not be as high as physicians and nurses. However, healthcare facilities should understand infection risk among non-medical staff who works during the pandemic. This study describes several factors associated with Covid-19 infection among medical recorders. A descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach observed 124 medical record officers in Central Java Province from January to June 2021. This study measured socio-demographic factors, job characteristics, infection prevention and control (IPC) efforts, and Covid-19 infection through an online questionnaire with Kobotoolbox. Data analyze performed in descriptive and bivariate analysis. Most respondents said personal protective equipment (PPE) availability was adequate and had received IPC training. Socio-demographic factors, PPE availability, IPC training, and occupation were significantly unrelated to covid 19 infections. Having infected co-workers was related to covid 19 transmissions. Covid-19 cases proportion mostly in respondents who work in type C and D hospitals, never or rarely available PPE, received IPC training, worked <7 hours/day, and medical record staff. Healthcare facilities should pay more attention to PPE availability and other infection prevention and control for medical recorder staff. Further research should assess the contact history of workers with positive covid 19 both in or outside their workplace and their activities outside their workplace, PPE use compliance, and IPC training time.]]>
