Abstract

Background:Air pollution is an important environmental problem affecting public health, particularly through exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5). Its small particle size allows PM2.5 to penetrate deep into lung tissues and contribute to various respiratory disorders.Objective:This study aims to analyze the relationship between PM2.5 exposure and the risk of respiratory diseases and to identify factors influencing its health effects.Methods:A Systematic Literature Review(SLR) was conducted using 20 scientific articles published between 2017 and 2026. Articles were obtained from several scientific databases based on inclusion criteria covering studies of human exposure to PM2.5 and its effects on the respiratory system. The findings were analyzed using narrative synthesis according to exposure characteristics, respiratory disease outcomes, and associated risk factors.Results:The review showed that PM2.5 exposure was associated with increased risks of acute respiratory infections (ARI), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and decreased lung function. These effects were related to oxidative stress, inflammation, pulmonary epithelial cell damage, and impaired immune responses. Health risks were also influenced by PM2.5 concentration, exposure duration, pollution sources, environmental conditions, age, and individual health status. Children, older adults, and individuals with pre-existing respiratory diseases were identified as particularly vulnerable groups.Conclusion:PM2.5 exposure is associated with increased respiratory disease risk and impaired lung function, particularly through oxidative stress and inflammatory mechanisms. Preventive measures should therefore prioritize vulnerable populations

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, which may lead to disability and death. Stroke prevention behavior among hypertensive patients is influenced by several factors, including knowledge and self-efficacy; adequate knowledge of stroke and its risk factors increases patients’ awareness of preventive action, while high self-efficacy strengthens patients’ confidence to consistently practice a healthy lifestyle. Purpose: To determine the relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy with stroke prevention behavior among hypertensive patients in the working area of Ponre Public Health Center. Methods: This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population comprised all 6,103 hypertensive patients in the working area of Ponre Public Health Center; the Slovin formula yielded a sample of 98 respondents. Knowledge was measured using the Stroke Prevention Knowledge Questionnaire (SPKQ), self-efficacy using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and stroke prevention behavior using a questionnaire adapted from Riskesdas 2018. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Chi-Square) analysis. Results: The Chi-Square test showed p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) for both the knowledge–behavior and self-efficacy–behavior relationships, indicating a significant association between knowledge and self-efficacy with stroke prevention behavior among hypertensive patients in the working area of Ponre Public Health Center. Conclusion: The higher the knowledge and self-efficacy of hypertensive patients, the better their stroke prevention behavior; continuous health education and support are needed to improve patients’ knowledge and self-efficacy in preventing stroke.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that may lead to serious complications, including diabetic foot ulcer. Adequate foot care is essential to prevent this complication, and patients’ knowledge of foot care is one of the factors that can influence their foot care behavior. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between foot care knowledge and foot care behavior among diabetes mellitus patients in the working area of Ujung Loe Public Health Center, Bulukumba Regency, in 2026. Methods: This study used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Ninety respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the Diabetic Foot Knowledge Scale (DFKS) and the Nottingham Assessment of Functional Footcare (NAFF) questionnaires, and were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Most respondents had a good level of foot care knowledge and good foot care behavior. The statistical test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between foot care knowledge and foot care behavior. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between foot care knowledge and foot care behavior among diabetes mellitus patients. Health care providers are expected to strengthen foot care education so that patients can perform independent foot care to prevent diabetic foot ulcer.

Abstract

Obesity among university students requires weight management strategies that are simple and applicable to daily life. Observing the voluntary (Sunnah) fast on Mondays and Thursdays is a potential approach, yet evidence regarding its impact on body weight remains inconsistent. This study aimed to analyze differences in weight change between obese university students practicing the Monday–Thursday fast and a control group. A pretest-posttest control group design was employed involving 12 male students (Class of 2022) from the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara, with six respondents in each group. The intervention lasted four weeks. Weight change was calculated as the difference between posttest and pretest measurements and compared between the intervention and control groups using an Independent Samples t-test following a Shapiro-Wilk normality test. The intervention group experienced an average weight loss of 4.083 ± 1.889 kg, whereas the control group showed an average weight gain of 1.667 ± 2.338 kg. The difference in mean weight change was 5.750 kg (t = −4.685, df = 10, p = 0.001). The findings indicate a significant difference in weight change between the two groups after the four-week intervention. However, these results should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size and the lack of complete comparability regarding baseline body weight between the groups. Further research with larger samples, more comparable groups, and longer observation periods is needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Background: Dengue hemorrhagic fever requires control that links health-center activities with household prevention practices. Purpose: This study described the implementation of dengue prevention and control programs in the service area of Darul Imarah Health Center, Aceh Besar Regency. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted in 2026. Eight purposively selected informants included the health-center head, dengue program coordinator, surveillance officer, one larva-monitoring cadre, and four residents with previous dengue. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through reduction, thematic grouping, display, and conclusion verification. Triangulation was applied to ensure trustworthiness. Results: Planning used activity evaluations, case data, larval inspection findings, and environmental conditions documented in RUK and RPK. Implementation covered surveillance, epidemiological investigation, 3M Plus mosquito breeding-site elimination, health education, larval inspections, and cross-sector coordination. Cadres supported education and household monitoring. Community participation was positive, although prevention practices were not consistently maintained because of daily routines and irregular habits. Open water containers and discarded items capable of holding water remained observed. Staffing limitations and equipment needs were additional constraints. Conclusion: The program has implemented planning, delivery, and evaluation components but requires stronger accompaniment, resources, and environmental monitoring follow-up. This study explains implementation processes and does not measure program effects on case reduction.

Abstract

Background: Flooding can damage sanitation infrastructure, contaminate water sources, and create stagnant water, thereby increasing the risk of environmentally related communicable diseases. This study aims to determine the association between flood conditions and the occurrence of environmentally related communicable diseases among residents of Blang Seuneubok Village, Peureulak, East Aceh. This quantitative study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 257 individuals from 71 households, with a sample of 72 respondents determined using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error. The data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses using the Chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that 51.4% of respondents experienced non-severe flooding, while 48.6% experienced severe flooding. A total of 41.7% of respondents experienced environmentally related communicable diseases following the flood. The Chi-square test showed no significant association between flood conditions and the occurrence of environmentally related communicable diseases (p = 0.661). Based on the findings, this study concludes that flood conditions are not significantly associated with the occurrence of environmentally related communicable diseases among residents of Blang Seuneubok Village. Other factors, including environmental sanitation, clean and healthy living behaviors, and access to healthcare services, may also contribute to the occurrence of these diseases and should therefore be considered in preventive efforts.
