Abstract

Background: Coastal communities are populations residing in coastal areas who develop distinct socio-cultural characteristics shaped by their reliance on coastal resources and ecosystems. These communities are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, which include rising sea surface temperatures, increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, altered precipitation patterns, and the intensification of oceanic wave activity. Such climatic changes pose significant threats to the sustainability and well-being of coastal populations. Objective: This study aims to analyze the health vulnerability of coastal communities in response to climate change, with a focus on Mata Subdistrict, Kendari District, in the year 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical design was employed in this study. A total of 200 respondents were selected from Mata Subdistrict, Kendari District, using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews utilizing validated questionnaires, alongside direct field observations. The data were subsequently analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical methods with the assistance of SPSS version 25. Results: The socio-demographic analysis revealed that the majority of respondents were female (55.5%, n=111), while males accounted for 44.5% (n=89). Most respondents were aged between 31 and 40 years. The largest proportion of marital status indicated married individuals (52%, n=104), and the most common household size was five members (29%, n=58). Bivariate analysis showed statistically significant associations between the incidence of illness and several climate-related variables: experience of coastal erosion in the past five years (p=0.047), exposure to strong winds within the same period (p=0.006), and health insurance ownership (p=0.007). Conclusion: This study highlights the health vulnerability of coastal communities in Mata Subdistrict, Kendari District, due to climate change. The findings indicate that vulnerability is influenced by a complex interplay of demographic, economic, infrastructural, environmental, and health-related factors, as well as by the community’s adaptive capacity and the availability of external support mechanisms.

Abstract

Background: Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, including sea level rise, coastal erosion, and increased frequency of extreme weather events. These environmental changes pose substantial risks not only to ecosystems but also to human health. In coastal communities, climate change has been associated with a heightened incidence of infectious diseases, respiratory disorders, and sanitation-related health problems. Method: This study employed an analytical observational design using a case-control approach. A total of 200 respondents were selected purposively. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that assessed the perceived health impacts of climate change, sanitation conditions, and access to health services. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed, with the Chi-Square test used to determine associations between climate change-related variables and public health outcomes, adopting a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Results: The findings indicate that 83.3% of respondents experiencing poor climate-related conditions reported health issues such as diarrhea, acute respiratory infections (ARI), and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between climate change exposure and the incidence of disease (p = 0.031). Conclusion: Climate change significantly affects the health of coastal populations in Purirano Village, contributing to the increased prevalence of diseases such as diarrhea and ARI. These health risks are exacerbated by inadequate sanitation facilities and limited access to clean water. The study confirms a statistically significant relationship between climate change and disease incidence (p < 0.05). Addressing these challenges requires integrated efforts, including community education, improvements in sanitation infrastructure, and the implementation of climate adaptation and mitigation policies involving both governmental and community stakeholders.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia, as the largest archipelagic country in the world, possesses approximately two-thirds of its territory in the form of marine areas, with a total area of around 3.25 million km². Of this, 2.55 million km² constitutes the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Indonesia has the right to utilize natural resources both living and non-living within its waters, which span an estimated 7.81 million km². This vast maritime potential offers significant opportunities for the development of the marine and fisheries sector, which serves as a key pillar in national economic growth. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between climate change and the prevalence of environmentally-based diseases among coastal fishing communities in Abeli District. Method: This research employed a descriptive-analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was conducted through structured interviews involving 200 randomly selected respondents using a standardized research questionnaire. Data were analyzed to explore the correlation between perceived climate change (such as increasing air temperatures) and reported cases of environment-related diseases. Results: The majority of respondents (61.5%) were within the 41–60 year age group. Out of 200 respondents, 32 reported having contracted dengue fever. Among these, 2 respondents (1.0%) perceived an increase in air temperature, while 9 (4.5%) did not. Additionally, 7 respondents reported having malaria, and 5 experienced skin diseases. Of those with skin diseases, 2 (1.0%) perceived a rise in temperature, while 3 (1.5%) did not. These results indicate patterns in the perception of climatic changes associated with the incidence of environmentally-influenced diseases. Conclusion: The findings suggest a significant relationship between climate change and the prevalence of environmentally-based diseases within coastal fishing communities in Abeli District. Therefore, it is imperative to implement effective mitigation strategies through enhanced public health education and the strengthening of health infrastructure to address the challenges posed by climate change.

Abstract

Background: Climate change exerts significant impacts on coastal communities, particularly fishing populations, who are highly vulnerable to environment-related diseases such as diarrhea, malaria, skin infections, and acute respiratory infections (ARI). Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between climate change and the prevalence of environmental-based diseases among coastal fishing communities in Sorue Jaya Village, Soropia District, Konawe Regency. Methods: This quantitative study utilized a cross-sectional design involving 210 respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that explored perceptions of climate change and the occurrence of environmental-based diseases. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test via SPSS version 25.0. Results: The analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between irregular rainfall patterns and the incidence of diarrhea (p = 0.030). However, other climatic variables such as increased air temperature, strong winds, and high sea waves did not show significant associations with the incidence of diarrhea or other environmental-based diseases. Similarly, no significant relationships were found between climate change and the incidence of dengue fever, malaria, skin diseases, or ARI. Conclusion: Climate change influences the prevalence of certain environmental-based diseases. In Sorue Jaya Village, erratic rainfall was significantly associated with the incidence of diarrhea. However, other climate-related factors such as temperature fluctuations, strong winds, and high sea waves were not significantly related to the prevalence of dengue fever, malaria, skin diseases, or ARI. Despite these findings, environmental changes driven by climate variability remain important determinants of health risk in coastal communities and warrant continued attention in public health planning.

Abstract

Background: Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI), or Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Akut (ISPA), remains one of the primary causes of morbidity and mortality among children under five, particularly in developing countries. ARI is a common childhood infectious disease marked by the involvement of the respiratory tract, an acute clinical course, and the presence of infection. Its high incidence in toddlers is strongly associated with environmental exposures and behavioral factors, especially in resource-limited settings. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between physical environmental factors and maternal behaviors with the incidence of ARI among toddlers in the service area of the Lailangga Health Center, Wadaga District, West Muna Regency, in 2023. Methods: This quantitative study applied a cross-sectional design. The population comprised 47 mothers with toddlers residing in the Lailangga Health Center catchment area. Data were collected through structured interviews and direct environmental observation. Analysis was conducted using univariate methods to describe respondent characteristics and bivariate methods to test the statistical associations between variables. Results: The study showed that over 64% of toddlers had inadequate intake of essential nutrients such as energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates. While 54.9% of mothers had moderate to high educational attainment, 69.5% of households were categorized as having poor environmental conditions. Statistically significant relationships were identified between ARI and various factors, including nutritional intake (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates), vitamin A, iron, zinc, maternal education (p=0.004), and environmental conditions (p=0.000). Conclusion: ARI incidence in toddlers was significantly linked to poor environmental quality and maternal behavior. Poor air circulation, limited ventilation, and lack of maternal awareness were major contributing factors. Interventions focusing on improving household environments and enhancing maternal health literacy are recommended to reduce ARI risk in this population. Keywords: Toddlers, Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI), Air Pollution, Maternal Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices, Ventilation.

Abstract

Background: Climate change has become a widely debated global issue due to its profound impact on multiple sectors of life, particularly public health. The potential risks posed by climate change to human health are increasingly recognized as a global challenge that threatens livelihoods and well-being. Climate change refers to alterations in climate patterns that occur directly or indirectly due to human activities, leading to changes in the global atmospheric composition. It also includes shifts in natural climate variability observed over comparable periods of time. Empirical data indicate that the vulnerabilities and risks associated with global climate change not only influence economic, social, and political spheres but also contribute to the emergence and exacerbation of various public health issues Objective: This study aims to examine the impact of global climate change on the incidence of tropical diseases specifically malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, filariasis, and leptospirosis within coastal communities in Nambo District, particularly in Tondenggeu Village. Methods: This research employed a quantitative analytical approach with an observational design, using the cross-sectional method to assess the relationship between climate change and the prevalence of tropical diseases. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to respondents residing in the study area. Results: Statistical analysis shows that there is no significant relationship between climate change variables and the incidence of tropical diseases with a P-value of 0.574 (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that there is no statistically significant relationship between climate change and the incidence of tropical diseases in the study population. Several limitations may have influenced the findings. Notably, inaccuracies in data collection may have occurred due to respondents’ reluctance to provide honest or accurate responses, which could compromise the validity of the results. These limitations should be taken into account in the interpretation of the study's findings and addressed in future research to improve data quality and reliability. Keywords: Chikungunya Fever, Cross-Sectional Studies, Leptospirosis, Filariasis, Climate Change, Public Health
