Abstract

Child health is important, as it contributes to the child’s future. Indonesia was ranked second after India as a country with the highest tuberculosis (TB) cases. Well-educated parents must care for their children and maintain their health. At the same time, provinces in Eastern Indonesia have the lowest percentage of non-smoking areas (KTR) implementation. In this study, we analyzed the level of morbidity that focuses on respiratory disease, namely coughing and breathlessness in children. In addition, this study also analyzed the education and parents’ smoking behavior focused in Eastern Indonesia. The study analyzes child morbidity according to several affecting factors. Data used were cross-section data collected from secondary data from Indonesia Family Life Survey East (IFLS-East) in 2012. By applying the logistic regression analysis by logit and probit analysis, we figured out that parents’ education, children’s age, health service availability, and domicile area significantly influenced child morbidity. Fathers’ education played a crucial role, as the higher their education, the lower their children’s morbidity. Besides, we also found out that parents’ smoking habits, child immunization status, sex, and health insurance ownership did not significantly influence child morbidity. Fulfillment of educational aspects is required to the maximum until reaching adulthood, especially for unmarried individuals. Apart from that, parents of smokers and non-smokers need to be educated effectively on the dangers of smoking in order to create a healthy environment and the importance of tobacco or cigarette control policies in the Eastern part of Indonesia.

Abstract

The coverage of complete basic immunization is still low in the working area of Mentawai Regency, which is 59.8%. The national target achievement is 95%, indicating a gap of 35.2%. The aim of this research was to identify the factors influencing the completion of basic immunization. The research method used is analytical research with a cross-sectional study approach. The sample in this research consists of children aged more than 9 months until 5 years, totaling 132 respondents. The respondents were selected using simple random sampling. The analysis includes univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. The findings revealed that more than half of the respondents did not complete their basic immunization (63.2%), and more than half of them had a low level of knowledge (60%). Support from father was also lacking for more than half of the respondents (63.3%), and there were concerns about inadequate sociocultural factors (57.8%). There was a significant relationship between family support, sociocultural factors, and knowledge level with the completeness of basic immunization (P<0.001). The multivariate analysis indicated that having low father support resulted in a 7.3 times higher likelihood of incomplete immunization compared to having high father support. Therefore, the suggestion for this study is to improve not only the knowledge level of mothers but also to increase the knowledge of fathers, so that they can provide full support for their child's health.

Abstract

The lack of physical activity was one of the causes of several health problems and deaths whose prevalence was increasing throughout the world. University was a gathering place for all university members including students, lecturers and teaching staff who were at risk of low physical activity and other lifestyle behaviors. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan indeks massa tubuh (IMT), status sosial ekonomi dan motivasi terhadap aktivitas fisik pada usia produktif di Universitas ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta. A cross-sectional method was used, and a random sampling technique was taken. The sample was 380 respondents with an age range of 20-59 years. Data analysis used the chi square test to determine the relationship between physical activity and its determinants and logistic regression to determine the predictors of physical activity. Based on 380 respondents, 47.2% were in the inactive category with an average of Metabolic Equivalent Task (METs)= 402.56 ± 121,140 and duration = 88.67 ± 59,600 per minute per week. There was a significant correlation between age, occupation, body mass index (BMI), motivation, availability of sports facilities with physical activity. Based on multivariate analysis, it was found that BMI, age and motivation had an influence on physical activity. The level of physical activity among university members was still low and there was a need for university strategies to increase knowledge and behavior to become an active campus with healthy campus campaigns, organizing health checks, championships between campus sports clubs and other strategies.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Cuanki Bakti Mulia is a company engaged in the food industry that produces cuanki in Indonesia. It is at high risk due to the severity and possibility of accidents causing severe injuries. This study aims to identify hazards, assess risks, and control at MSMEs Cuanki Bakti Mulia, Kasemen District, Serang City. The method used is Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Control (HIRAC). The object of study is the work of MSMEs Cuanki Bakti Mulia, namely all potentially hazardous activities. Data from the company, interviews, direct surveys of production equipment, and machines in the production process were collected for this study. The results of the study showed that many risks were identified. The process of making and rolling meatball dough, and fried dumpling dough had a high risk rating compared to others. In dough making, ingredients in flour that come into direct touch with the breath might irritate the nasal and mouth mucosa and create respiratory problems. In dough rolling, hands are exposed to vibration for a long time, and noise causes hearing loss. Several protection and prevention measures have been taken, mainly to protect workers from workplace accidents and maintain the hygiene of the food produced. The proposed hazard controls are replacing firewood with gas stoves when frying to make tofu and fried dumplings, setting restrictions on workers' working hours, and ensuring adequate rest by reducing working hours. The company needs to provide and equip with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
