Abstract

Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among toddlers worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Coastal areas often experience specific public health challenges, including air pollution, overcrowding, and inadequate sanitation, all of which contribute to an increased incidence of ARIs in children. Objective: This study aims to analyze the risk factors influencing the incidence of acute respiratory infections in coastal areas. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, combined with bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. Results: From an initial 82 articles identified, 11 met the inclusion criteria. The analysis revealed that factors such as inadequate ventilation, high humidity, household smoking, and high population density were significantly associated with the incidence of ARIs in toddlers. Conclusion: Environmental interventions, including the improvement of household ventilation and public education on the hazards of indoor smoking, should be prioritized to reduce the risk of ARIs. Further research is warranted to assess the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions in addressing these health issues in coastal communities. Keywords: acute respiratory infection, coastal area, toddlers, ventilation, smoking

Abstract

Background: Pulpitis is an inflammatory condition of the dental pulp, the innermost part of the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. This condition is most commonly caused by bacterial infection resulting from untreated dental caries, although it may also occur due to physical trauma, chemical irritation, or improper restorative procedures. Inflammation within the pulp increases intra-pulpal pressure in the confined pulp chamber, thereby impairing blood circulation and oxygen supply. If left untreated, this process can lead to irreversible tissue damage or pulp necrosis. Dental caries remains the primary etiological factor for pulpitis. According to the 2018 Riset Kesehatan Dasar (RISKESDAS), approximately 88.8% of the Indonesian population experiences dental caries. Individuals residing in rural coastal communities are particularly vulnerable due to inadequate oral hygiene practices such as infrequent or improper tooth brushing and high consumption of carbohydrate- and sugar-rich foods, which can precipitate pulpitis. Furthermore, limited access to dental healthcare services in these areas results in a high prevalence of untreated dental caries, increasing the risk of progression to pulpitis. A lack of awareness and education on oral health further exacerbates this burden.Objective: This literature review aims to identify and describe the risk factors contributing to the incidence of pulpitis in rural coastal communities.Methods: This study employed a systematic literature review approach. Articles were identified through searches on Google and Google Scholar using the keywords "Pulpitis, Coastal Areas, Risk Factors". Only studies published between 2018 and 2024 were considered. Inclusion criteria comprised qualitative or quantitative research articles available in full-text PDF format and written in either Indonesian or English.Results: A total of nine articles met the inclusion criteria and provided relevant data on risk factors associated with pulpitis in rural coastal areas.Conclusion: The risk factors for pulpitis in rural coastal populations largely mirror those observed in the general population, with additional influences related to lifestyle and environmental conditions. Unhealthy dietary patterns, inadequate oral hygiene, and suboptimal dental restoration practices were identified as key contributors to the elevated incidence of pulpitis in these communities.Keywords: Pulpitis, Risk Factors, Coastal Communities, Oral Health.

Abstract

Background: Arthritis is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by joint inflammation, which can result in pain, stiffness, swelling, and restricted mobility. This condition significantly affects the quality of life, particularly when left inadequately managed. In Indonesia, the prevalence of arthritis has shown an increasing trend in line with the aging population and lifestyle changes, including in rural and coastal regions. Objective: This study aims to examine the factors influencing the incidence of gout arthritis in coastal communities. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach was employed to identify and analyze 34 relevant scientific articles from international publications. Articles were retrieved from the Google Scholar database, covering the publication period from 2020 to 2025. Results: Seventeen articles met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to further analysis. These studies identified various etiological factors and management strategies for gout arthritis that are particularly relevant to coastal settings. Conclusion: The occurrence of gout arthritis in coastal communities is not solely an individual health concern but also reflects broader structural issues related to socio-economic conditions and limited access to healthcare services. Addressing this problem requires comprehensive policy interventions, including public health education, early detection initiatives, improvement of occupational conditions, and expanded access to medical services, in order to reduce prevalence and enhance the well-being of coastal populations.

Abstract

Background: Trachoma is the third leading cause of blindness worldwide, after cataracts and glaucoma. It is responsible for visual impairment in approximately 1.9 million individuals globally, of whom around 1.4% experience total blindness. In Indonesia, the prevalence of trachoma as a cause of blindness is estimated at 0.98%. The disease is caused by infection with Chlamydia trachomatis. Objectives: This study aims to examine evidence-based strategies for trachoma control, encompassing medical, sanitation, and educational interventions, and to evaluate the effectiveness of global elimination programs. Methods: This study employed a literature review approach to identify and synthesize findings from relevant national and international journal articles. Sources were obtained from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect using the keywords Trachoma, Control, Chlamydia trachomatis, Blindness, and Elimination. The review included publications from 2010–2023 that addressed SAFE interventions Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial Hygiene, and Environmental Improvement. Results: Trachoma remains one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in developing countries and is classified among the seven neglected tropical diseases preventable through pharmaceutical interventions. The disease predominantly affects populations living in areas with limited access to clean water and adequate sanitation. It is estimated to cause visual impairment in approximately 2.2 million individuals worldwide, with around 1.2 million experiencing total blindness. Comprehensive implementation of the SAFE strategy has reduced trachoma prevalence by up to 70% in certain endemic regions. Mass administration of antibiotics (e.g., azithromycin), surgical management of trichiasis, promotion of facial hygiene, and improved access to clean water have demonstrated significant effectiveness. Nevertheless, challenges such as antibiotic resistance and limited resources continue to hinder elimination efforts. Conclusion: The primary strategy for trachoma control is the World Health Organization’s SAFE program, comprising Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial Hygiene, and Environmental Improvement. Effective control requires a multidisciplinary and sustainable approach. Strong collaboration among governments, international organizations, and communities is essential to achieving the global target of trachoma elimination by 2030.

Abstract

Background: Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease that continues to cause substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is an intestinal infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, transmitted primarily through the consumption of food or water contaminated with the pathogen, or through direct contact with carriers. In addition to its severe health implications, cholera is highly contagious and poses a significant threat to public health, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water. Objective: This study aims to provide a comprehensive discussion of cholera, including its epidemiology, modes of transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and strategies for control and prevention. Method: This research employed a literature review approach, synthesizing findings from published scholarly articles that address various aspects of cholera. The review was conducted by identifying, selecting, and summarizing relevant scientific publications to provide a consolidated understanding of the disease. Results: Control strategies incorporating vaccination, quarantine, and environmental sanitation measures have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing cholera incidence, thereby limiting disease transmission. The implementation of any single strategy among these three has been shown to sufficiently suppress infection rates. In contexts where financial constraints exist, quarantine of infected individuals has been identified as the primary and most cost-effective control measure. Conclusion: Effective cholera control requires a multifaceted approach integrating improved sanitation, targeted quarantine for individuals presenting with severe symptoms, public health education for at-risk populations, and water treatment interventions such as chlorination. Collaborative engagement with international health organizations, such as Nigeria’s participation in the World Health Organization (WHO), can strengthen national capacity to address persistent health challenges. Optimal prevention and control strategies should be adapted to local epidemiological contexts to ensure sustainability and impact. Keywords: Cholera, Control Strategies, Public Health, Indonesia

Abstract

Background: Maternal nutrition plays a pivotal role in determining neonatal health outcomes. Inadequate iron intake and poor adherence to iron supplementation increase the risk of maternal anemia and the incidence of low birth weight (LBW). This issue is particularly concerning in Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi, where recent years have seen a decline in iron supplementation coverage alongside an increase in LBW prevalence. Objective: This study aims to analyze the trends in iron supplementation coverage among pregnant women and the incidence of LBW in Donggala Regency from 2020 to 2023. Methods: A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using secondary data obtained from the Central Sulawesi Provincial Health Profile. Trend analyses were conducted using graphical representations to compare changes in iron supplementation coverage and LBW incidence. Results: Iron supplementation coverage declined from 84% in 2020 to 75% in 2023, while LBW incidence increased from 2.2% in 2020 to 6.1% in 2023. The inverse relationship between supplementation coverage and LBW incidence suggests a potential association between reduced iron supplementation and impaired fetal growth. Conclusion: The declining coverage of iron supplementation and the rising incidence of LBW highlight the urgent need for strengthened nutrition education, enhanced antenatal monitoring, and improved access to maternal healthcare services. These findings can inform targeted interventions and policy development to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes in the region. Keywords: maternal nutrition, iron supplementation, low birth weight, health trends, Indonesia

Abstract

Background: A decent or healthy toilet is a sanitation facility designed to prevent the transmission of diseases through human feces. A healthy toilet must be able to safely contain and manage excreta without contaminating the environment, water sources, or soil, and it must prevent direct contact between humans and waste. Toilet use behavior is influenced by internal factors such as age, gender, and level of knowledge. In addition, socio-economic factors including education, attitudes, habits, occupation, income, and ethnicity also play an important role. External factors include the availability of toilet facilities, the cleanliness and hygiene conditions of toilets, and access to clean water. Objective: This study aims to determine the percentage of residents with access to healthy toilets in Mappi Regency, Papua Province, during the period 2015–2022. Method: This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the Mappi Regency Health Profile. The data analyzed consisted of annual percentages of the population with access to healthy toilets. Data analysis was conducted by compiling information into tables and graphs, followed by narrative interpretation to identify patterns and trends. Results: The findings indicate fluctuations in access to healthy toilets, suggesting ongoing challenges in improving sanitation coverage. The lowest access was recorded in 2018 at 2.72%, while the highest occurred in 2019 at 26.43%. A decline was observed in 2020 to 6.30%, followed by an increase in 2021 and 2022. Conclusion: The distribution of access to healthy toilets in Mappi Regency demonstrates persistent challenges in sanitation improvement. Both internal and external factors influence toilet use behavior. Therefore, community-based interventions, preventive and promotive actions, and evidence-based policies are essential to increase access to healthy toilets and reduce environment-related diseases.

Abstract

Background: Maternal and child health is a key indicator used to measure population health status and to assess the success of health sector development. West Sulawesi Province, as part of Eastern Indonesia, continues to face substantial challenges in reducing maternal and infant mortality rates. These challenges are influenced by multiple factors, including geographical barriers, limited accessibility to health services, unequal distribution of health workers, and socio-cultural conditions that affect health-seeking behavior. Consequently, disparities in maternal and newborn mortality remain evident across the region. Objective: This study aims to describe the distribution of maternal and infant mortality rates in West Sulawesi Province during the period 2017–2020, using secondary data obtained from the West Sulawesi Provincial Health Profile. Method: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed by analyzing secondary data sourced from the West Sulawesi Provincial Health Profile. The data analyzed consisted of annual records of maternal and infant deaths. Data analysis was conducted by organizing the information into tables and graphical displays, followed by narrative interpretation to identify patterns and trends over time. Results: The findings indicate fluctuations in both maternal and infant mortality rates between 2017 and 2020. Infant mortality rates showed a decline in certain years, while maternal mortality rates remained relatively stable but at persistently high levels. Geographic constraints, limited availability of health facilities, and socio-cultural factors are considered major contributors to these trends. Conclusion: The distribution of maternal and infant mortality rates in West Sulawesi Province highlights the urgent need to strengthen maternal and newborn health services. Improving referral systems, expanding access to health care in remote areas, and implementing community-based and evidence-based policies are essential to achieving sustainable maternal and child health outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and remains a public health concern in endemic areas, including Tojo Una-Una Regency. The high prevalence of leprosy in this region is closely associated with community perceptions and behaviors that are often influenced by stigma and misconceptions surrounding the disease. Central Sulawesi Province is classified as a high-endemic area for leprosy. Although since 2019 the prevalence has declined to below 1 case per 10.000 population, sustained surveillance and vigilance remain essential, as the average prevalence is still approximately 0.95 per 10.000 population. Furthermore, Central Sulawesi continues to report several leprosy pockets over the last three reporting periods. Objectives: This study aims to describe community perceptions and behaviors related to leprosy in the endemic area of Tojo Una-Una Regency and to analyze the prevalence of leprosy cases based on secondary data from 2022. Methods: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using secondary data obtained from the 2022 Central Sulawesi Provincial Health Profile. Data were collected through document review and analyzed descriptively using tables and graphical presentations to illustrate leprosy prevalence. Results: The findings indicate that Tojo Una-Una Regency recorded the highest leprosy prevalence in 2022, at 2.36 per 10,000 population. This elevated prevalence is attributed to low levels of public awareness, persistent social stigma, and limited access to adequate health services and health education. Conclusion: Community misperceptions and behaviors play a significant role in sustaining the high prevalence of leprosy in Tojo Una-Una Regency. Therefore, leprosy control efforts in endemic areas must extend beyond medical interventions to include social, educational, and cultural approaches that actively engage communities. Integrated strategies involving health education, stigma reduction, strengthening of community health cadres, and improved access to health services are essential for sustainable leprosy control.
