Abstract

Background: Indonesia has a large Muslim population, with a substantial proportion residing in areas that are vulnerable to malaria transmission. One such area is Trenggalek District, which is classified as a malaria-endemic region in East Java Province. Geographical conditions, occupational activities, and population mobility are factors that may influence malaria transmission dynamics in this region. Methods: This study employed a descriptive observational research design. Secondary data were obtained from the Environmental Health Engineering and Disease Control Agency (BBTKLPP) Surabaya. The data included information on the characteristics of malaria cases in Trenggalek District as well as the results of resistance testing of Anopheles vagus mosquitoes to 0.75% permethrin insecticide conducted in Pandean Village, Trenggalek District. Results: Trenggalek District is categorized as a low malaria endemic area, with most reported cases being imported, as no indigenous malaria cases have been identified to date. Malaria case trends from 2014 to 2017 exhibited fluctuating patterns. The majority of malaria patients were male (97.34%), with 59.88% working as farmers and 29.79% employed in the private sector. The insecticide resistance test showed that 100% of Anopheles vagus mosquitoes died within one hour of exposure to 0.75% permethrin, while no mortality was observed in the control group. Conclusion: Most malaria cases in Trenggalek District occurred among male individuals with high mobility, particularly those working as farmers or in the private sector, indicating a potential risk for the emergence of indigenous malaria transmission. Anopheles vagus mosquitoes in Pandean Village, Trenggalek District, remain susceptible to 0.75% permethrin insecticide.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infectious disease that continues to pose a significant public health challenge, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. It remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, especially among vulnerable age groups, including children under five and the elderly. In the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) province, pneumonia persists as a major health issue. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the distribution patterns of pneumonia in Yogyakarta Province by examining temporal trends, geographic distribution, and demographic characteristics from 2013 to 2022. Methods: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed in this study, utilizing secondary data from the DIY Province Health Profile. The data were analyzed both tabulatively and visually, using trend charts and distribution maps to depict the distribution by year, district/city, age, and gender. Results: The analysis revealed fluctuations in the number of pneumonia cases from 2013 to 2022, with significant peaks observed in 2015 and 2019. Spatially, Sleman and Bantul districts recorded the highest number of cases. Demographically, the highest incidence rates were observed in the under-five (0-5 years) and elderly (>60 years) age groups. Gender distribution showed a slightly higher incidence in males compared to females. Conclusion: The distribution of pneumonia in Yogyakarta Province is uneven, with cases being concentrated in densely populated areas and among vulnerable age groups. These findings highlight the need for targeted, region-specific, and age-based intervention strategies to effectively prevent and control pneumonia. Keywords: Pneumonia, spatial distribution, Yogyakarta, descriptive analysis

Abstract

Background: The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia remains alarmingly high. MMR is a critical indicator of public health, reflecting the number of women who die due to pregnancy-related complications, including childbirth and treatment-related issues, within 42 days postpartum, excluding accidents or incidental causes. This rate is measured per 100.000 live births (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia & Measure DHS ICF International, 2012). MMR serves as a measure of the effectiveness of maternal health programs, and its reduction is a key objective of public health strategies. Objective: This study aims to examine the distribution of maternal deaths in Yogyakarta City from 2015 to 2021, using secondary data sourced from the Yogyakarta City Health Profile. Method: The study employs a quantitative descriptive approach, analyzing secondary data obtained from the Yogyakarta City Health Profile. The data include the number of maternal deaths recorded annually. The analysis was conducted by organizing the data into tables and graphs, followed by a narrative interpretation to identify trends and patterns in maternal mortality rates. Results: The study found fluctuations in the maternal mortality rate from 2015 to 2021. While the MMR showed some stability, it remained high, indicating ongoing challenges in maternal health. The rate is influenced by various factors, including nutritional status, socio-economic conditions, pre-existing health conditions, pregnancy complications, and access to healthcare. Conclusion: The fluctuations in maternal mortality rates in Yogyakarta City highlight persistent challenges in improving maternal health despite relatively adequate healthcare infrastructure. These findings underscore the need to strengthen maternal and neonatal health services, enhance referral systems, and improve access to healthcare, particularly in remote areas. Community-based interventions and data-driven policies are crucial to achieving sustainable health development goals.

Abstract

Background: The screening rate for suspected pulmonary tuberculosis cases, facilitated through health promotion activities in collaboration with the Ponorogo District Health Office, serves as a key indicator of the effectiveness of our efforts in controlling the disease. Objective: To analyze the predictive relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Ponorogo Regency. Method: This study employed a descriptive research design to analyze a specific population at a single point in time. The sample and population consisted of nutritional status data of individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis whose sputum test results were positive in Ponorogo Regency. Results: The incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Ponorogo Regency increased from 276 cases in 2011 to 392 cases in 2012, followed by 378 cases in 2013. The number then decreased to 293 in 2014 and increased again to 334 in 2015. The projected decrease in cases was 299 for 2016 and 306 for 2020. The time series analysis revealed a decrease in pulmonary tuberculosis cases with positive sputum test results, which correlated with nutritional conditions. Conclusions: The application of a quadratic trend model for time series analysis demonstrated that the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis was influenced by nutritional status, including factors such as obesity, overnutrition, normal nutrition, and malnutrition.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic growth disorder in children under five, defined as a height-for-age z-score below minus two standard deviations from the WHO Child Growth Standards median. Southeast Asia has one of the highest stunting burdens globally, and Indonesia remains among the countries with a high prevalence. Within West Java Province, Bandung Regency was reported as one of the districts with the fifth-highest stunting prevalence in 2022. Objectives: This study aims to describe the trend of stunting prevalence in West Java Province, with a particular focus on Bandung City, during the period 2018–2022. Methods: This study applied a quantitative descriptive approach to characterize stunting prevalence trends in West Java Province, with a specific focus on Bandung City. Secondary data were obtained from the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) for West Java Province published by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. The analysis used stunting prevalence estimates from 2018 to 2022 and summarized temporal patterns across the observation period. Results: The trend analysis indicated that stunting prevalence in Bandung City declined in 2019 to 27.1% but increased sharply in 2020 to 35%. These fluctuations suggest that stunting is not solely a nutritional problem but a multidimensional condition shaped by interrelated determinants. Key contributing factors include inadequate dietary intake, maternal and child health status, household socioeconomic constraints, and an unsupportive living environment. Limited access to health services, safe water, and adequate sanitation further exacerbates the risk of impaired linear growth. Conclusion: Stunting represents a complex public health issue reflecting nutritional, social, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities. In Bandung City, prevalence decreased in 2019 but rose again in 2020 and remained above the WHO threshold in 2022, underscoring the need for integrated and sustained interventions.

Abstract

Background: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) remains an endemic vector-borne disease in Indonesia, characterized by substantial annual fluctuations and recurrent outbreaks, particularly during the rainy season. East Java Province continues to contribute a considerable burden of reported DHF cases, underscoring the need for epidemiological profiling to support targeted control efforts. Objective: This study aimed to describe the temporal and spatial distribution of DHF cases in East Java Province during 2018–2020 and to summarize case patterns according to selected demographic and contextual indicators. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study with a time-series approach was conducted using secondary data. DHF case data were obtained from the East Java Provincial Health Profile (2018–2020). Climate variables (air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, and sunshine duration) and population density data were retrieved from the Central Statistics Agency for the same period. Data were analyzed descriptively to assess year-to-year changes and distributions by time and district/city, and stratified by sex where available. Results: The number of DHF cases in East Java showed an overall increase from 2018 to 2020, although the pattern was unstable across years and varied substantially between districts/cities. Higher case concentrations were observed in several areas, reflecting heterogeneous transmission dynamics potentially associated with population density and seasonal climatic conditions. Conclusion: DHF burden in East Java increased during 2018–2020 with pronounced spatiotemporal variation. These findings support strengthening routine surveillance, climate-informed early warning, and community-based vector control to enhance prevention and response. Keywords: dengue hemorrhagic fever; East Java; climate; population density; time series

Abstract

Background: Maternal and child health are essential indicators for evaluating the health status of a population and assessing the effectiveness of health sector development. West Sulawesi Province, located in Eastern Indonesia, faces significant challenges in reducing maternal and infant mortality rates. Factors such as geographical accessibility, the availability of healthcare personnel, and various social determinants contribute to the distribution of maternal and neonatal mortality in this region. Objectives: This study aims to describe the distribution of maternal and infant mortality in West Sulawesi Province from 2017 to 2020, using secondary data obtained from the West Sulawesi Provincial Health Profile. Methods: A descriptive quantitative approach was employed in this study, analyzing secondary data sourced from the Health Profile of West Sulawesi Province. The data include the annual number of maternal and infant deaths, which were organized into tables and graphs for analysis. The trends and patterns observed were interpreted narratively to provide a comprehensive overview of the data. Results: Based on Chart 1, the highest trend in dengue fever cases occurred in 2018, with 115 reported cases. This increase may be attributed to several factors, including high rainfall, population density, and local behaviors. Conclusion: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) poses a significant health threat, as it can develop into a deadly epidemic. Recognizing the trends and factors influencing DHF incidence is crucial for implementing effective early prevention strategies. Environmental factors, such as high rainfall, along with population density and behavioral patterns, contribute to the high incidence of DHF in certain areas.
