Abstract

Background: Climate refers to long-term weather patterns that significantly impact human life. In Indonesia, there are three types of rainfall patterns: equatorial, monsoonal, and local. Unlike other areas in Southeast Sulawesi that have entered the dry season, the highest rainfall in Konawe Islands Regency typically occurs in May and June. This phenomenon is influenced by wind patterns that carry water vapor from Asia and the Pacific Ocean. Conversely, when winds blow from the east, particularly from Australia, dry season conditions prevail. The climate in this region has become increasingly complex due to unpredictable weather changes. Objective: This study aims to identify and analyze the factors contributing to rainfall in Konawe Islands Regency. Method: A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing measurable and statistically analyzable data. Results: The average annual rainfall in Konawe Islands Regency is 1,929.2 mm, with an average of 141 rainy days per year. Conclusion: Konawe Islands Regency experiences an average annual rainfall of 1,929.2 mm and approximately 141 rainy days. Rainfall patterns in the area are influenced by climatic conditions, topography, and the interaction of air masses. Keywords: Humans, Seasons, Wind, Weather, Indonesia

Abstract

Background: One of the dominant environmental health issues in Indonesia is environmental sanitation. Sanitation conditions significantly affect the overall quality of the environment. Poor environmental sanitation can result from inadequate sewage systems, substandard waste disposal facilities, unhealthy housing conditions, and toilets that do not meet health standards. Therefore, efforts to maintain and improve home sanitation should be a central focus in public health programs. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors influencing environmental health in coastal communities in Tondonggue Village, Nambo Sub-district, Kendari City, in 2024. Methods: This research employed an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional approach to assess sanitation and environmental health conditions in the coastal area of Tondonggue Village, Nambo Sub-district, Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Results: The majority of residents in Tondonggue Village demonstrated handwashing behavior that meets health standards, with a compliance rate of 84.8%. Access to clean water that meets health requirements reached 100%. Ownership of proper and self-maintained latrines also reached 100%. However, only 54.5% of household sewage disposal systems met health standards, and 60.6% of household waste disposal practices did not meet acceptable health standards. Conclusion: Environmental sanitation and health conditions in Tondonggue Village show both positive progress and critical challenges. While several indicators such as clean water access and latrine ownership are commendable, others particularly sewage and waste disposal require significant improvement. Overall, environmental sanitation in the area is relatively adequate, but targeted interventions are necessary to address the remaining deficiencies.

Abstract

Background: Dietary diversity is an important indicator for assessing diet quality in early childhood. Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) is widely used to evaluate the nutritional adequacy of diets among children aged 6–23 months, in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. Objectives: This study aimed to identify factors associated with the achievement of MDD among children aged 6–23 months in Kendari City using a Classification and Regression Tree (CRT) approach. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 123 children selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews and anthropometric measurements, covering maternal and child sociodemographic characteristics, child feeding practices, and continued breastfeeding status. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test, while predictive analysis was performed using the CRT algorithm with cross-validation. Results: To showed that 62.6% of children met the MDD criteria. Chi-square analysis indicated significant associations between maternal education (p = 0.001), number of children in the household (p = 0.002), and continued breastfeeding status (p = 0.005) with MDD achievement. The CRT model generated 15 nodes, including eight terminal nodes, with a risk estimate of 0.252 (SE = 0.039), indicating good classification performance. Maternal education emerged as the primary predictor, followed by continued breastfeeding status, child nutritional status (weight-for-age z-score), and child age. Children of highly educated mothers with good nutritional status who continued breastfeeding had the highest likelihood of achieving MDD. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of improving maternal nutrition literacy and supporting continued breastfeeding practices as strategies to enhance diet quality among young children at the community level.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of an infant's life is strongly recommended by both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Breast milk not only provides optimal nutrition but also protects infants from a range of infectious diseases. However, in coastal areas, the practice of exclusive breastfeeding faces more complex challenges. Factors such as maternal knowledge, socio-cultural norms, access to healthcare services, and family support can significantly influence a mother's perception and ability to successfully practice exclusive breastfeeding. Objective: This study aims to analyze the various factors that influence mothers' perceptions of the success of exclusive breastfeeding in coastal communities. Method: This study utilized a literature review approach, drawing upon findings from both national and international journals published within the last six years. A total of 20 relevant journal articles were reviewed, consisting of 13 national and 7 international publications. Article searches were conducted using platforms such as Google Scholar, Mendeley.com, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, covering the publication years from 2018 to 2024. Results: The literature review indicates that factors such as maternal knowledge, family support, cultural practices, and access to health services play a significant role in influencing the success of exclusive breastfeeding in coastal areas. Conclusion: The success of exclusive breastfeeding in coastal areas is greatly influenced by both internal factors such as maternal awareness and external factors, including family and community support. Therefore, community-based interventions and supportive health policies are essential to enhance exclusive breastfeeding practices in these regions.

Abstract

Background: Maternal, infant, and child health in coastal areas is often affected by multiple interrelated factors, including limited knowledge of nutrition, inadequate practices of exclusive breastfeeding, and poor environmental sanitation. These determinants significantly contribute to health disparities in coastal communities. Addressing these challenges requires targeted interventions focusing on education and community empowerment. Objective: This study aims to examine the impact of educational interventions and community empowerment programs on improving maternal, infant, and child health outcomes in coastal areas. Method: The study implemented a series of intervention programs, including training sessions for Posyandu (integrated health post) cadres, educational counseling on exclusive breastfeeding, home visits for pregnant women, and initiatives aimed at improving environmental sanitation. Results: The findings demonstrate that nutritional education provided to Posyandu cadres significantly enhanced their understanding of stunting prevention. In addition, rates of exclusive breastfeeding increased in correlation with improved maternal awareness of its benefits. Home visit counseling proved effective in raising knowledge among pregnant women regarding anemia prevention. Poor sanitation was identified as a major contributing factor to the prevalence of stunting and respiratory tract infections (RTIs) among children. The empowerment of health cadres facilitated early detection of health problems and broadened access to primary healthcare services. Collectively, these educational, empowerment, and sanitation-based interventions led to measurable improvements in maternal and child health indicators within the targeted coastal communities. Conclusion: Interventions focused on education, community empowerment, and environmental sanitation improvement contribute positively to maternal, infant, and child health outcomes in coastal areas. Such integrative approaches are essential for achieving sustainable health improvements in underserved coastal populations.
