Abstract

Background: Coastal communities in Indonesia experience significant challenges in accessing healthcare services, mainly due to inadequate infrastructure, the unequal distribution of healthcare personnel, and the economic limitations of local populations. These issues result in health disparities between coastal and non-coastal regions.Objectives: This study aims to identify and analyze the key factors affecting access to healthcare services in coastal areas to provide a comprehensive understanding of the barriers faced by these communities.Methods: A systematic review was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected from 20 academic journal articles published between 2016 and 2024. The inclusion criteria focused on studies that specifically examined healthcare access issues in coastal regions.Results: The findings reveal that healthcare access in coastal areas is hindered by multiple factors. These include geographical constraints such as long distances and limited transportation infrastructure; economic challenges, including low income levels and high healthcare costs; shortages of medical personnel; public perceptions and attitudes toward healthcare; and government policies that have not been fully optimized to address the specific needs of coastal communities. Each of these factors contributes differently but collectively impacts the extent to which coastal populations can access and utilize available health services.Conclusion: Improving healthcare access in coastal areas requires a comprehensive and multi-sectoral approach. Strategies should include infrastructure development, increasing the number of healthcare personnel, providing transportation subsidies, and implementing more intensive health education programs tailored to the needs of coastal populations.

Abstract

  Background: Improper waste management driven by human behavior poses a serious threat to the environment, particularly in coastal areas. Marine pollution caused by waste not only damages ecosystems but also adversely affects the economy, especially sectors dependent on marine resources. In addition to degrading the aesthetic value of coastal environments and generating unpleasant odors, unmanaged waste serves as a breeding ground for viruses, bacteria, and parasites that can lead to various health problems, including digestive disorders, infections, and skin diseases. Objective: This study aims to conduct a literature review to identify and analyze the causal factors influencing community behavior in waste disposal practices in coastal regions. Method: This article employs a literature review method. A total of 20 relevant articles were selected from the Google Scholar and Mendeley databases based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were analyzed descriptively to identify recurring patterns and key findings. Results: The review reveals that improper waste disposal behavior in coastal areas persists largely due to low levels of education, which limits public understanding of appropriate waste management practices. This knowledge deficit influences individual attitudes and behaviors, particularly in managing household waste. Negative attitudes can hinder the acceptance of environmental information or guidance. Furthermore, the availability of waste management infrastructure plays a critical role in facilitating effective waste handling. Supervision by local authorities is also essential in curbing improper waste disposal practices in coastal communities. Conclusion: The persistence of improper coastal waste disposal behavior is influenced by several factors, including educational attainment, environmental knowledge, individual attitudes, the availability of waste management facilities, settlement characteristics, and regulatory oversight. Keywords: Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Educational Status, Coastal Waste, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy, also known as Morbus Hansen (MH), remains a significant public health challenge worldwide, affecting both medical and social aspects of patients’ lives. One of the major barriers to effective management is the persistent stigma experienced by individuals living with the disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Southeast Asia ranks third globally in the number of leprosy cases, reporting a total of 148,495 cases. Indonesia holds the third-highest incidence rate of leprosy in the world. Several risk factors are associated with leprosy transmission, including household contact, social interaction with infected individuals, poor personal hygiene, low health literacy, gender, BCG vaccination status, and socio-economic conditions. Objective: This literature review aims to analyze the risk factors contributing to leprosy incidence in coastal communities. Method: This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review methodology. A total of 20 national and international peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 were selected using keywords such as “Risk Factors for Leprosy Incidence in Coastal Areas,” from databases including Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and PubMed. The selected literature includes studies conducted in Indonesia, the United States, India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, the Netherlands, and Brazil. The data were then compared and analyzed thematically to draw conclusions. Results: The review identifies multiple risk factors contributing to the incidence of leprosy in coastal areas. These include environmental conditions such as high population density, poor housing structures, inadequate ventilation and lighting, and substandard sanitation. Personal hygiene and household crowding were also found to be significant contributors. In addition, socio-economic factors, including low income and limited access to healthcare and nutrition, were frequently reported. Cultural beliefs and misconceptions about the disease, as well as gaps in the implementation of national leprosy control policies, including uneven distribution of health workers and lack of public education, further exacerbate the situation. Conclusion: Leprosy in coastal communities is influenced by a combination of environmental, social, and economic factors. Conditions such as overcrowding, poor ventilation, inadequate sanitation, and low health literacy increase the risk of transmission. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive and multisectoral approach, including improvements in housing and sanitation infrastructure, targeted health education, equitable distribution of healthcare resources, and strengthened public health policies to reduce the incidence of leprosy in coastal regions. Keywords: Leprosy, Risk Factors, Coastal Communities, Sanitation, Health Inequity.

Abstract

Background: Open defecation free (ODF) status is essential for protecting both environmental quality and public health. Open defecation, which refers to the practice of defecating in open spaces such as rice fields, forests, rivers, beaches, or the sea, can inadvertently contaminate water sources and soil, posing serious health risks. In Indonesia, access to improved sanitation has shown progressive improvement, with the national open defecation rate decreasing from 7.61% in 2019 to 6.19% in 2020, and further declining to 5.69% in 2021. Despite this progress, open defecation remains a persistent issue, particularly in coastal regions. Objective: This study aims to explore the factors associated with open defecation behavior in coastal areas of Indonesia. Methods: A qualitative literature review method was employed to synthesize findings from relevant studies. National publications were retrieved using the Google Scholar database with the keyword "Coastal ODF" for the period 2017–2025. A total of 267 journals were initially identified, and after screening for title relevance and thematic alignment, 20 journals were selected for in-depth analysis. The selected literature was then compared and thematically analyzed to identify key influencing factors. Results: The review identified several contributing factors to open defecation behavior in coastal communities. These factors were categorized into three domains: (1) Predisposing factors, including age, income, education level, knowledge, attitudes, and perceived health risks; (2) Enabling factors, such as latrine ownership, availability of clean water, geographical constraints, and the distance to sanitation facilities; and (3) Reinforcing factors, which encompass the involvement of health workers, family leadership roles, and social support networks. Conclusion: To ensure environmental sustainability and protect public health, communities must be encouraged to eliminate open defecation practices. Such behavior not only contributes to environmental degradation but also facilitates the spread of disease vectors, creates unpleasant odors, and diminishes the aesthetic quality of public spaces. Addressing this issue aligns with the pillars of the Community-Based Total Sanitation program. Active collaboration among village authorities, community leaders, religious figures, and health professionals is essential to promote healthy sanitation behaviors and foster a culture of hygiene in coastal communities. Keywords: Public Health, Sanitation, Open Defecation, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health issue, characterized by an increasing number of cases and a progressively wider geographic distribution. Preventive behavior against dengue in coastal communities remains suboptimal. Most coastal regions exhibit similar environmental characteristics, including the accumulation of plastic waste and other discarded materials that serve as potential breeding grounds for Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Objectives: To analyze current and effective strategies for preventing DHF, particularly in coastal communities where the disease burden remains high. Methods: This study employed a literature review method using secondary data sourced from Google Scholar and PubMed databases, focusing on publications from 2019 to 2025 (the last six years). Results: The literature review indicates that dengue prevention efforts are commonly implemented through community empowerment strategies, including socialization, health education, and training activities. A key component of these strategies is the 3M Plus (3M+) approach, which involves draining water containers, closing or burying unused items, and recycling materials to eliminate mosquito breeding sites. These interventions aim to reduce the population of Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of the dengue virus. Conclusion: Community empowerment is an effective approach to enhance public knowledge and participation in dengue prevention. The implementation of the 3M Plus (3M+) strategy draining, covering/burying, and recycling is essential to limit mosquito breeding and thereby reduce dengue transmission. Furthermore, the availability of a dengue vaccine provides an additional preventive measure that can further strengthen public health efforts in combating DHF.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases globally, with an increasing incidence observed in various regions, including coastal communities. Its prevalence in these areas is influenced by several factors, such as dietary patterns, levels of physical activity, educational attainment, and environmental and socio-economic conditions. Objective: This study aims to review existing literature related to diabetes mellitus in coastal areas to identify associated risk factors, health impacts, and effective prevention strategies. Method: A literature review approach was employed by analyzing relevant peer-reviewed journal articles that discuss the risk factors, prevalence rates, and intervention programs targeting diabetes in coastal populations. Results: The findings indicate that diets high in fat and sugar, sedentary lifestyles, and limited public awareness regarding health contribute significantly to the rising prevalence of diabetes in coastal areas. However, health education initiatives and community-based intervention programs have demonstrated effectiveness in lowering diabetes incidence. Conclusion: To reduce the burden of diabetes in coastal communities, it is essential to implement comprehensive prevention strategies, improve access to healthcare services, and strengthen health education programs. Keywords: diabetes mellitus, coastal communities, risk factors, health education, prevention strategies

Abstract

Background: Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites that live and multiply in human red blood cells and are transmitted through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Malaria remains a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, including Indonesia. Objective: This study aims to identify the dominant factors influencing the incidence of malaria in Indonesia through a comprehensive literature review. Method: This research adopts a qualitative approach using a literature review design. Data were collected and analyzed from previous studies sourced from academic journals available on Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria focused on studies addressing malaria risk factors in the Indonesian context. Results: The review findings indicate that several factors play a significant role in the incidence of malaria in Indonesia. The most frequently reported factors include the level of knowledge about malaria prevention (reported in 8 articles), the presence of mosquito breeding sites (6 articles), the use of mosquito nets (6 articles), and the habit of engaging in outdoor activities at night (5 articles). These factors are consistently associated with higher malaria transmission risks. Conclusion: Efforts to reduce malaria incidence in endemic areas should focus on increasing community awareness and knowledge about malaria prevention, promoting the consistent use of bed nets during nighttime, eliminating mosquito breeding sites through regular environmental sanitation, and minimizing outdoor activities at night when mosquito exposure is high. Additionally, the use of mosquito repellents is recommended as a preventive measure to reduce mosquito bites. Keywords: Malaria, Risk Factors, Coastal Regions, Indonesia

Abstract

Background: In 2017, approximately 295.000 women died due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth, despite a 38% decline in the global maternal mortality rate since 2000. One contributing factor to maternal mortality in Indonesia is the persistently low level of health literacy among women. Moreover, Indonesia has not yet fully adopted the antenatal care (ANC) guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), which are essential for ensuring quality maternal care and reducing the risks of maternal mortality and high-risk pregnancies. While previous studies have explored ANC in urban and rural settings, there remains a lack of research focusing on coastal and island communities, which often present unique characteristics and distinct health challenges. Objective: This study aims to analyze the level of health literacy among pregnant women and their utilization of antenatal care services in coastal areas. Method: A systematic literature review was conducted by searching five major databases: PubMed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, Open Access, and nationally accredited journals. The inclusion criteria were: 1) studies involving women in the prenatal period, 2) articles written in English, and 3) clear descriptions of maternal health service utilization. Thematic synthesis was applied in three stages: 1) coding of relevant text, 2) development of descriptive themes, and 3) generation of analytical themes. Results: From an initial pool of 1.336 articles, forty-four studies were included in the final analysis. The majority of these studies were conducted in the United States, with additional studies from Indonesia, Europe, and Africa. The synthesis revealed four key themes: 1) socioeconomic status and its determinants, 2) functional health literacy, 3) interactive health literacy, and 4) critical health literacy. Conclusion: The findings highlight that multiple dimensions of health literacy significantly influence the use of antenatal care services. Despite varying levels of knowledge about maternal health, limited access, socioeconomic barriers, and insufficient engagement with healthcare providers remain major obstacles in coastal communities. A tailored approach that strengthens all levels of health literacy and improves healthcare infrastructure is essential to enhance ANC utilization in these areas.

Abstract

Background: Food security among fisher households in coastal areas is a critical issue that intersects with both social and economic dimensions. Fisher households often face challenges in accessing sufficient and nutritious food due to their reliance on limited natural resources, uncertain fish catches, and vulnerable socio-economic conditions. Objective: This literature review aims to explore existing research on the food and nutritional security of fisher households, focusing on the factors that influence food security in coastal communities and identifying potential strategies to improve the welfare of fisher households in Indonesia. Methods: A literature review was conducted by analyzing 20 relevant academic journals addressing food and nutritional security among fisher households in coastal regions of Indonesia. The articles were sourced from Google Scholar and selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The findings indicate that economic, social, and environmental factors play significant roles in determining the food security status of fisher households. Low household income often results in a higher proportion of expenditure on food, thereby increasing the risk of food insecurity. Moreover, limited access to natural resources and inadequate infrastructure contribute to food insecurity, especially in remote coastal areas where communities have fewer opportunities to obtain diverse and nutritious food compared to those residing near economic centers. Conclusion: Food security in fisher households is influenced by a combination of economic conditions, accessibility to markets and resources, and the broader socio-economic context of coastal communities. To improve food security, strategies should include income diversification, improved market access, and community education on healthy and sustainable dietary practices. Keywords: Food Security, Fisher Households, Coastal Communities, Economic Welfare, Food Access, Indonesia.
