Abstract

Heavy mental contamination in drinking water can be toxic to the bodythis is because the metal is not needed by the body. Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are dangerous heavy metals because they cannot be broken down by the body and can accumulate in the environment, forming complex compounds at the bottom of the water while Iron (Fe) (essential metal) is needed by the body, but in excessive amounts will cause poisoning. The high use of refilled drinking water has the risk of increasing waterborne diseases. This study aims to determine the content of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Iron (Fe) and environmental risks due to exposure to drinking water at the Refill Drinking Water Depot in the Kadolomoko Health Center area of ​​Baubau City. This study uses a descriptive observational method with a design of the Environmental Health Risk Analysis method. The population is all the number of Refill Drinking Water Depots and tested using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) method and 6497 people who consume drinking water from the Depot with samples using Slovin totaling 96 respondents with questionnaire instruments and univariate tests. The results of chemical parameters in drinking water at the Refill Drinking Water Depot in the working area of ​​the Kadolomoko Health Center are in accordance with the standard quality standards based on Permenkes No. 2 of 2023 and the results of the Intake Risk Analysis of ingestion exposure in the next 5 years, the ECR value of Lead (Pb) = mg / l / day and the RQ value of Cadmium (Cd) = 0.12 mg / l / day and Iron (Fe) = 0.00043 mg / l / day while in the next 30 years the ECR value of Lead (Pb) =mg/day and the RQ value of Cadmium (Cd) = 0.12 mg/l/day and Iron (Fe) = 0.0004 mg/l/day does not exceed the quality standard, namely ECR ≥ E-4 (10-4) and RQ ≥ 1 Conclusion Refill drinking water at the depot in the Kadolomok Community Health Center work area is safe for consumption for up to 5 years and 30 years into the future.

Abstract

Ngkari-Ngkari Sub-district is an agricultural area that produces rice, fruits, and vegetables, particularly green mustard (caisin), with a population composed of diverse ethnic groups. The use of pesticides in agricultural activities may pose health risks when applied improperly. This study aims to analyze environmental health risks due to pesticide exposure among green mustard farmers in Ngkari-Ngkari, Baubau City. Plant samples were collected two days after chemical pesticide spraying using standard procedures and analyzed at the UHO Pharmacy Laboratory. A total of 64 farmers were selected through total sampling, and data were obtained using structured questionnaires. Data analysis employed SPSS and the Environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) method. Laboratory results indicated that pesticide concentration in green mustard plants was 0 mg/kg/day or undetected. The estimated intake exposure among farmers was 0.000364 mg/kg/day, while the calculated risk quotient (RQ) of Chlorpyrifos exposure was 0.0121 mg/kg/day. An RQ value ≤ 1 suggests that the 64 farmers were not at risk of adverse health effects from exposure to Chlorpyrifos-based pesticides. This study concludes that pesticide use in Ngkari-Ngkari remains within safe limits for farmers, although continuous monitoring and proper application are necessary to prevent long-term cumulative risks. Limitations of this study include the influence of environmental factors during sampling and the potential effect of sample storage time, indicating the need for biological monitoring and soil condition evaluation in future studies to strengthen the findings.

Abstract

According to the ILO ( International Labour Organization ) factory workers in industrialized countries are affected by respiratory diseases (pneumoconiosis, silicosis and others) due to exposure to dust in the workplace. PM 10 in the air is the main parameter in air pollution originating from the use of transportation and increased industrial activity. The results of explosions from factories and vehicles entering and leaving the industry can pollute the air and produce pollutants and some workers at the PT Diamond Alfa Propetindo factory do not use personal protective equipment (PPE) masks so that there is possible pollution of particulate matter (PM 10 ) which is dangerous and causes health problems . This study aims to analyze environmental health risks due to Particulate Matter (PM 10 ), individual characteristics, risk level (RQ), and risk management. This study uses a descriptive observational method and Environmental Health Risk Analysis (ARKL). Respondent data collection techniques use total sampling and questionnaires. The results of PM 10 measurements that have been converted to a 10-hour measurement time at point 1 are 62.8 µg/m 3 , point 2 is 62.7 µg/m 3 , point 3 is 72.2 µg/m 3 and point 4 is 60.1 µg/m 3 and do not exceed the threshold value (NAB) of ambient air quality standards. The results of the RQ calculation obtained from 60 workers are RQ ≤ 1 which means they are not at risk of being exposed to PM 10 so they do not require risk management or risk control

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is the best period of breast feeding intake for infants because it maximizes health benefits for growth and development. However in reality, there are many hindrances for mothers to give exclusive breastfeeding. Negative perceptions from the mothers itself regarding breast milk often caused the low rates of exclusive breastfeeding. Conventional therapies that has been given only solved one problem at a time, while the actual solution is a holistic care which includes mind, body, and soul. Hypnobreastfeeding is one of the preferred therapy that contains holistic care to improve the exclusive breastfeeding. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of hypnobreastfeeding on exclusive breastfeeding at Mumbulsari Community Health Center, Jember, East Java, Indonesia. This study used pre-experimental design with post-test only design on pregnant women in third trimester. Simple random sampling was used as sampling technique with 16 treatment group and 16 control group which fulfill inclusion and exclusion criteria. The experimental data was collected using observation sheets which then statistically analyzed using bivariate chi-square test. The result of chi-square test showed that p=0,003 (p < 0,05) which shows that hypnobreastfeeding positively influence exclusive breastfeeding. In conclusion, hypnobreastfeeding is strongly suggested as the treatment to improve exclusive breastfeeding on mothers.

Abstract

Infant growth and development can be monitored through anthropometric measurements, particularly body weight. Infants with low birth weight (LBW) (< 2500 grams) are at risk of growth disorders. One form of stimulation that can promote infant weight gain is infant massage. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the frequency of infant massage and the increase in body weight of infants aged 6–18 months at Ralla Community Health Center, Barru Regency. This was a quantitative study with a retrospective design. Resulting in 27 infant respondents. The results showed that most respondents received infant massage frequently (88.9%), and 24 infants experienced weight gain (88.9%). Fisher’s Exact test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between the frequency of infant massage and the increase in body weight of infants aged 6–18 months at Ralla Community Health Center. This study recommends that parents routinely practice infant massage to optimize infant growth and development, and encourages further research on other factors influencing infant body weight.

Abstract

Stunting continues to pose a serious public health issue in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), affecting over 148 million children under five globally in 2022. Maternal nutrition during pregnancy plays a crucial role in determining birth outcomes and reducing the risk of stunting. This systematic review assessed the impact of nutritional interventions during pregnancy on stunting prevention and neonatal health in LMICs. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar was conducted for studies published from 2005 to 2025, including RCTs, quasi-experimental studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and analytical observational studies involving pregnant women in LMIC settings. From 6,204 initial records, 20 studies with over 114,000 participants were included. The review found that energy-protein supplementation reduced stunting risk by up to 28%, while multiple micronutrient supplements lowered the incidence of low birth weight and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants. Vitamin D supplementation also significantly reduced SGA risk. Nutrition education and counseling improved maternal dietary practices and lowered stunting rates. Conversely, maternal undernutrition—indicated by low BMI—was associated with a 22% increased risk of child stunting. These findings highlight the effectiveness of both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions during pregnancy. Integrated approaches combining supplementation and education should be prioritized in public health strategies.

Abstract

Mothers often face psychological issues during the postpartum phase, such as depression and anxiety, which can impact the health and development of their children. Complementary therapy in the form of progressive muscle reactivity (PMR) is a non-pharmacological strategy to reduce depression and anxiety. The purpose of this study was to investigate how progressive muscle reactivity affects postpartum maternal anxiety and grief in two community health centers (Puskesmas) and several hospitals in Semarang City. Using a quantitative approach, this research design captured pre-installation and post-installation patterns. Purposive sampling was used to select 50 respondents for the study sample. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to measure depression, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) was used to measure anxiety. The Wilcoxon test was used to analyze the data. Based on the results of the progressive muscle reactivity technique, there was a significant decrease in depression and anxiety (p = 0.0005, p < 0.05). Seventy-six percent indicated that their anxiety had reached a satisfactory level, while 36 percent indicated that their decisions had decreased. Thus, it can be said that progressive muscular connection makes people more resilient and reduces anxiety. In medical settings, this treatment is recommended as a complementary intervention to improve patients' psychological well-being.

Abstract

Sonneratia caseolaris L. (red pedada) is a mangrove species rich in bioactive compounds, yet its potential remains underutilized due to suboptimal extraction methods. This study systematically evaluated four extraction techniques maceration, Soxhlet, Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE), and Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction (UAE) for their efficiency in recovering phenolic compounds and antioxidants from its leaves. Using 70% ethanol, extracts were analyzed for total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activity via DPPH and ABTS assays. Results demonstrated MAE's superior performance, yielding the highest TPC (145.3 mg GAE/g), TFC (89.4 mg QE/g), and strongest antioxidant activity (DPPH IC₅₀: 18.3 µg/mL; ABTS IC₅₀: 15.2 µg/mL). UAE ranked second, followed by Soxhlet and maceration. Strong correlations between TPC/TFC and antioxidant activities confirmed phenolics as primary antioxidant contributors. The enhanced performance of MAE is attributed to its efficient cell disruption through rapid internal heating and pressure buildup, facilitating complete compound release while minimizing degradation. This study conclusively identifies MAE as the optimal method for maximizing bioactive compound recovery from S. caseolaris leaves, providing a scientific basis for its application in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.
