Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. In Indonesia, including West Sulawesi Province, the incidence of DHF has shown an increasing trend in recent years. The reported morbidity rate reached 39.25 per 100,000 population, with a case fatality rate (CFR) of 1.13, indicating that DHF remains a significant public health concern. Objectives: This study aims to identify the factors contributing to the increase in DHF cases in Pasangkayu Regency, West Sulawesi Province, in 2022. Method: This study employed a qualitative research approach using secondary data. Data were analyzed through systematic data organization, data display, and interpretative analysis to draw conclusions regarding the contributing factors. Results: The findings indicate that the increase in DHF cases in Pasangkayu Regency was associated with poor environmental sanitation, the effects of climate variability particularly unpredictable rainfall patterns and low levels of community awareness regarding environmental cleanliness and vector control practices. Conclusion: The increase in DHF cases in Pasangkayu Regency highlights the need for comprehensive and integrated dengue control strategies. Strengthening environmental management, improving community participation in vector control activities, and enhancing public awareness through health promotion are essential to reducing DHF transmission. In addition, incorporating climate-based surveillance and early warning systems into dengue prevention programs is crucial for anticipating outbreaks and supporting sustainable disease control efforts.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease primarily affects the lungs, although it may also involve other organs of the human body. Common clinical manifestations include a persistent cough lasting more than two weeks, weight loss, fever, and fatigue. Despite ongoing control efforts, TB remains a major public health concern in many regions of Indonesia. Objective: This study aims to describe the incidence and distribution of tuberculosis cases in Bitung City, North Sulawesi Province, during the period 2022–2024. Methods: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed to analyze the distribution of TB cases in Bitung City. Secondary data were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency of North Sulawesi and reports published by the North Sulawesi Provincial Health Office. Data analysis focused on identifying temporal patterns and year-to-year differences in TB incidence and treatment outcomes. Results: The findings indicate a declining trend in reported TB cases over the study period, which may reflect the effectiveness of public health interventions such as expanded early case detection, increased community awareness of TB symptoms, and strengthened health service networks targeting high-risk populations. However, the TB treatment success rate showed a decrease, from 88.1% in 2022 to 76% in 2024. This decline suggests ongoing challenges related to treatment adherence, potential delays in diagnosis, and limitations in patient monitoring and follow-up. Conclusion: The distribution of tuberculosis cases in Bitung City from 2022 to 2024 demonstrates notable changes. While the reduction in TB incidence suggests progress in promotive and preventive efforts, the declining treatment success rate highlights the need to strengthen comprehensive treatment management, improve patient adherence, and enhance continuity of care to achieve sustainable TB control outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a strategic issue in human resource development with a multidimensional nature. In South Konawe Regency, the prevalence of stunting reached 36.6% in 2023, representing a significant increase compared to the previous year. This condition indicates the limited effectiveness of single-sector approaches in efforts to reduce stunting. Objectives: This study aims to explore the effectiveness of a multisectoral and collaborative approach in the management of stunting, particularly through the implementation of social assistance and social protection programs. Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted in 13 stunting locus villages across eight sub-districts. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 39 informants, including village heads, posyandu cadres, midwives, and parents of stunted children, complemented by field observations and document review. Data analysis was carried out through thematic reduction, narrative data presentation, and verification using source and method triangulation. Results: The findings indicate that social assistance and social protection interventions contribute positively to improving household access to nutrition, health services, and family capacity building. However, the effectiveness of program implementation remains constrained by weak intersectoral coordination, inaccuracies in beneficiary data, and low levels of program integration at the village level. Conversely, collaborative practices among local stakeholders particularly community health cadres, village governments, and beneficiary families were identified as key factors in strengthening the stunting management ecosystem. Conclusion: Addressing stunting requires the strengthening of integrated and collaborative governance across sectors, supported by accurate data systems and active community engagement. A sustainable multisectoral approach is a critical prerequisite for enhancing the effectiveness of stunting management at the local level.

Abstract

Background: The Family Planning (KB) Program is one of the government’s strategic initiatives aimed at controlling population growth and improving the overall quality of life of the community. Despite the availability of various contraceptive methods, their utilization remains uneven across regions, reflecting disparities in access to information, health services, and socio-demographic factors. Objective: This study aims to describe the distribution pattern of active family planning participants according to the type of contraceptive method used across sub-districts in Palopo City, South Sulawesi Province. Method: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Palopo City for the year 2019. The data were analyzed descriptively to examine the distribution of contraceptive use across different sub-districts. Results: Data analysis was conducted through graphical interpretation of the distribution of active family planning participants based on contraceptive methods, including intrauterine devices (IUDs), female sterilization (MOW), male sterilization (MOP), condoms, implants, injections, and oral contraceptive pills. The findings indicate that injectable contraceptives were the most commonly used method, particularly in Wara Timur District, followed by oral contraceptives. In contrast, the utilization of long-term and permanent methods, such as IUDs, MOW, and MOP, remained relatively low. Variations in contraceptive use across districts suggest inequalities in access to family planning services and information. Conclusion: The study highlights the need to improve the equitable distribution of family planning services and to strengthen counseling efforts regarding the benefits and potential risks of various contraceptive methods. Such efforts are essential to enable individuals and couples to make informed and appropriate contraceptive choices based on their needs and circumstances.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women is a significant public health problem with serious consequences for both maternal and fetal health. In Indonesia, the prevalence of CED remains relatively high, particularly in areas with limited access to health services, inadequate nutritional intake, and socio-economic constraints. Objective: This study aims to describe the distribution of pregnant women affected by Chronic Energy Deficiency in Palu City during the period 2023–2024, based on secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency of Palu City. Method: A quantitative descriptive method was employed by analyzing secondary data sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Central Sulawesi Province. The data analyzed included the number of pregnant women diagnosed with Chronic Energy Deficiency. Data analysis was conducted by compiling the information into graphical presentations and interpreting the observed patterns and trends narratively. Results: The findings indicate fluctuations in the number of pregnant women experiencing Chronic Energy Deficiency between 2023 and 2024. A decline in the number of CED cases was observed from 2023 to 2024. Geographical factors, limited availability of health facilities, and socio-cultural influences are considered to be the main contributors to the observed trends. Conclusion: Chronic Energy Deficiency before and during pregnancy increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including low birth weight. Although annual variations were observed, the consistently recorded number of pregnant women affected by CED underscores the urgent need for sustained and targeted interventions, particularly in areas with limited access to health services.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest infectious diseases and remains a major global public health challenge. The disease is caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can affect various organs of the body, although it most commonly involves the lungs. TB is transmitted through airborne mechanisms, whereby the bacteria are dispersed in droplet nuclei measuring approximately 1–5 microns when an infected individual coughs, sneezes, or speaks. Due to its mode of transmission and prolonged course, TB continues to pose a significant burden on urban populations. Objective: This study aims to describe the incidence of tuberculosis in Manado City, North Sulawesi Province, during the period 2021–2024. Specifically, the study presents the annual number of reported TB cases based on official data issued by the Central Statistics Agency, with the objective of providing an overview that may support the identification of potential risk factors. Method: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed to examine patterns of TB incidence in Manado City. The study design focused on providing a systematic, factual, and accurate description of the observed phenomenon without manipulating any variables. Secondary data were used to analyze temporal trends in TB incidence. Results: The findings indicate that TB incidence in Manado City increased from 2021 to 2023. This upward trend may be associated with factors such as limited public knowledge, smoking behavior, and alcohol consumption. However, a decline in TB cases was observed in 2024. Conclusion: The distribution of TB incidence in Manado City from 2021 to 2024 demonstrates a rising trend followed by a subsequent decline. Although the reduction in cases in 2024 is encouraging, it underscores the need for continuous evaluation of TB control strategies. A comprehensive understanding of factors contributing to increased TB incidence is essential for developing more effective and sustainable intervention programs.

Abstract

Background: Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs are essential public health efforts aimed at reducing mortality and disease risks among mothers and children. In Gorontalo Province, these programs focus on lowering the maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR), which remain public health concerns despite progress toward national targets in 2024. Although Gorontalo has achieved the national benchmarks for MMR and IMR, persistent disparities indicate that underlying challenges remain. Cultural practices, educational attainment, poverty, and gender inequality are critical factors that must be considered when evaluating the effectiveness and limitations of existing maternal and child health interventions. Objective: This study aims to describe the distribution of maternal and infant mortality rates in Boalemo Regency, Gorontalo Province, during the period 2018–2021, based on secondary data obtained from the Boalemo Regency Health Profile. Method: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using secondary data sourced from the Boalemo Regency Health Profile. The data analyzed included 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 trends and patterns. Results: The findings indicate fluctuations in both maternal and infant mortality rates between 2018 and 2021. Infant mortality rates declined in certain years, whereas maternal mortality rates remained relatively stable but at persistently high levels. These patterns are associated with socio-cultural factors, levels of education, poverty, and gender inequality. Conclusion: The distribution of maternal and infant mortality in Boalemo Regency reveals ongoing challenges in health service delivery. Increasing maternal mortality and fluctuating infant mortality reflect instability in community welfare. A 20.1% gap in antenatal care coverage (K1 and K4 visits) suggests that many pregnant women do not receive adequate care, increasing the risk of complications. Geographical barriers further limit access to health services, underscoring the need for targeted and effective interventions to reduce mortality and improve population health outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Rabies is a zoonotic disease transmitted through the bites of mammals infected with the Rabies lyssavirus. It remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, as several provinces continue to be endemic. The virus primarily targets the central nervous system, leading to progressive encephalopathy and, if left untreated, results in an extremely high case fatality rate. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with rabies cases in Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi, in 2023, using official health surveillance data to identify epidemiological trends and support evidence-based public health interventions. Methods: A descriptive quantitative study design was employed using secondary data obtained from the Central Sulawesi Provincial Health Profile. The data were systematically compiled and presented in graphical form to examine patterns and temporal trends in reported rabies cases. Results: The results demonstrate a notable increase in rabies cases in Parigi Moutong Regency. This rise appears to be associated with increased human–animal interactions in the post–COVID-19 period. Inadequate public awareness and suboptimal animal vaccination coverage were identified as key factors influencing rabies transmission. Conclusion: The observed increase in rabies cases in Parigi Moutong Regency underscores the urgent need to strengthen animal vaccination programs, enhance community awareness, and promote cross-sectoral collaboration. Implementing a data-driven public health strategy is essential to reduce rabies-related mortality and to support the national goal of achieving a rabies-free Indonesia by 2030.
