Abstract

Background: The hospital of the Indonesian Red Cross in Southeast Sulawesi (H-ICR-SES) is a private hospital serving as the center of orthopedic services in Southeast Sulawesi. The orthopedic clinic was one of the units with the highest number of visits at the hospital in 2025. The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) in the orthopedic clinic has improved the effectiveness, accuracy, and efficiency of services, providing easier access to patient data and clinical decision-making. This situation highlights the importance of analyzing the distribution of orthopedic cases by gender, treatment status, and type of musculoskeletal problem. Objective: To analyze the distribution of musculoskeletal problem cases according to treatment status, gender, and type of musculoskeletal problem to support more effective and efficient service planning in H-ICR-SES. Methods: This analysis uses a descriptive design presented through the frequency distribution of orthopedic cases at the H-ICR-SES during the period January-September 2025. Data were obtained secondarily using a non-probability sampling technique. Results: The study indicated that the majority of orthopedic cases occurred in outpatient settings (75.8%), with the highest proportion being fractures, both in outpatient settings (39.2%) and inpatient settings (29%). Orthopedic cases were more common in men (63.3%). Conclusion: This study indicates that orthopedic cases at the H-ICR-SES are predominantly outpatients, with fractures being the most common type of case. The distribution of cases was greater in men, which is thought to be related to their greater physical activity and risk of trauma compared to women.

Abstract

Background : Hypertension is​ partly disease Chronic hypertension is a major factor in morbidity and mortality worldwide. This condition is known as a silent killer because it often occurs without symptoms, but can lead to dangerous complications such as stroke, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension continues to increase annually, including in the Lansilowo Community Health Center (Puskesmas Lansilowo) area, which recorded the highest number of cases among the top 10 diseases in 2023. Objective : Study This aim For Understanding the characteristics of hypertension patients based on gender, age and employment status in the working area of the Lansilowo Health Center, Konawe Islands Regency in 2024. Method: Study This is study A descriptive study using a survey approach. Using the total sampling technique, all 129 patients recorded in the 2024 profile were sampled. Results: Results from studies This showed that the majority of patients suffering from hypertension were women, namely 85 people (65.9%), while male patients numbered 44 people (34.1%). When viewed in terms of age, the largest group was in the 46-55 year range with a total of 49 people (38.0%), followed by the 56-65 year age group which numbered 38 people (29.5%). In terms of occupation, most of the patients were women who worked as housewives (IRT) as many as 70 people (54.3%), followed by farmers 28 people (21.7%) and self-employed 18 people (14.0%). Conclusion: In conclusion, hypertension in the Lansilowo Community Health Center's work area is predominantly found in middle-aged women who work as housewives. This finding demonstrates the importance of health education, early detection, and lifestyle changes in high-risk groups, especially women aged over 40 years.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has a double burden of disease, which means that both infectious and non-communicable diseases are happening at the same time. Differences in sanitation, the environment, and availability to health care services lead to different patterns of disease in different areas, such as Bombana District. Objective: This study aims to examine infectious and non-infectious disease patterns (double burden), create risks in society and the environment (sanitation and early marriage/poverty), and see how health resources suppress disease in Bombana District, contrasting Lantari Jaya and Tontonunu subdistricts (2021–2023). Methods: The research utilized a learning approach of issues that explains and describes based on previous evidence from annual Community Health Centers (Lomba Kasih and Tontonunu) reports, health facilities, health workers, and sanitation quality reports during implementation. Side-by-side information was compared to determine changes and differences in disease transmission, and services' quality. Sources of information were the Central Statistics Agency and Health Profile of Bombana Health Office in 2023. Results: Disease frequency indicated the highest lung infection rates were in Lantari Jaya (most significant) and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially high blood pressure and diabetes, had the fastest growth. High blood pressure and possible lung TB became the most common in Tontonunu in 2023; they were most common for lung infections before. Great variations were found in maintaining good sanitation: Lantari Jaya was 95.04%, and none but Tontonunu came close to 67.33%, which was still able to spread disease from the environment, like diarrhea, in Tontonunu. Conclusion: Double disease issue for Bombana District aggravated by unequal access to sanitation facilities and differing degrees of each subdistrict fostering health. Sanitation was first to be improved in Tontonunu, deployment of PTM Posbindu, and combined reproductive health education programs to curb early marriage as a preventive measure against stunting in the long term.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease whose incidence continues to increase, both globally and in Indonesia. This condition poses a serious challenge to public health because it is often not detected early. Many sufferers are unaware that their blood pressure has increased to the point of eventually causing various complications. This has led hypertension to be nicknamed the silent killer because it can lead to serious disorders such as stroke, heart disease, and kidney dysfunction without obvious symptoms. Objective: This study aims to describe the characteristics of hypertension patients based on age, gender, and occupation in the work area of the Mowewe Health Center, Kolaka Regency in 2024. Methods: This study uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. Secondary data was obtained from the medical records of hypertension patients at the Mowewe Health Center in 2024 as many as 166 samples. The analysis was conducted to describe the distribution of cases based on the study variables. Results: The results showed that the age group with the most hypertension was 45–54 years old (26.5%). Based on gender, the majority of people with hypertension are women (94.6%). Based on employment, most of the sufferers are housewives (48.2%), followed by the self-employed (18.7%) and civil servants (17.5%). Conclusion: The incidence of hypertension in the work area of the Mowewe Health Center tends to increase in middle age and the elderly, is more experienced by women, and is highest in the group of housewives. Risk factors that play a role include degenerative processes due to aging, stress, lack of physical activity, and an unbalanced diet.

Abstract

Background: The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is one of the Indonesian government’s initiatives to improve students’ nutritional status and overall health in elementary schools. The program aims to address malnutrition issues, enhance students’ concentration during learning, and foster healthy eating habits from an early age. However, the success of MBG implementation does not rely solely on the provision of nutritious food but also on the readiness of school health infrastructure, including the availability of clean water, a functional school health unit (UKS) room, hygienic eating facilities, and proper waste management systems. Objective: This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the early implementation of the MBG program and assess the readiness of school health infrastructure at SDN 52 Kendari. Methods: This research employed a quantitative descriptive method using a survey approach with a closed-ended questionnaire. Respondents included teachers, parents, and students, totaling 154 participants. Data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS software to obtain frequency and percentage distributions for each indicator. Results: The results showed that the initial implementation of the MBG program at SDN 52 Kendari has been running effectively (78%), particularly in terms of regular food distribution, cleanliness during food preparation, and school involvement in monitoring food quality. Nevertheless, several infrastructure aspects still require improvement, such as handwashing facilities, toilet cleanliness, and food waste management. Conclusion: Overall, the implementation of the MBG program has had a positive impact on improving students’ learning motivation and strengthening cooperation between schools, parents, and the surrounding community. These findings indicate that the success of the MBG program cannot be separated from adequate supporting infrastructure. Therefore, continuous collaboration among local governments, schools, and communities is essential to strengthen health facilities and ensure the sustainability of the MBG program in the future.

Abstract

Background: Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) is one of the major challenges in tuberculosis control efforts in Indonesia, given the increasing transmission of resistant strains and the low treatment success rate. Indonesia is one of the five countries that contribute to 50% of all MDR-TB cases worldwide and ranks third after India and the Russian Federation, with a prevalence of 7.4% and a treatment success rate for new DR-TB cases of only 58%. Objectives: This study aims to provide an epidemiological overview of DR-TB cases in Kendari City for the period 2021–2025. Methods: A quantitative descriptive was employed in this study with a case series design. This study used secondary data from the Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) of the Kendari City Health Office. A total of 174 DR-TB cases recorded during the period of 2021 to May 2025. Data were analyzed using univariate methods and presented in frequency distribution tables and graphs to describe demographic characteristics, geographic distribution, treatment history, and comorbidities of DR-TB cases. Results: The result showed that DR-TB cases are predominantly found in the productive age group of 30–59 years (56%) and occur more frequently in males (66%). Based on geographic distribution, 37% of patients were from Kendari City, resistance patterns were dominated by new cases (36%) and relapse cases (35%). The most common comorbidity was Diabetes Mellitus (13%), while HIV/AIDS was identified in only a small proportion of cases (2%). Conclusion: These findings underscore that DR-TB in Kendari City is influenced by community transmission dynamics, treatment adherence, and underlying health conditions. Strengthening early detection, comorbidity screening, treatment support, and community education is needed to reduce transmission rates and improve treatment outcomes for DR-TB in this area.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in the service area of the Mata Public Health Center, which has reported the highest prevalence in Kendari City over the past three years.Objectives: This study aims to explore the maternal determinants contributing to stunting among children aged 2–5 years in the working area of Mata Public Health Center.Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted in the Mata Public Health Center in July 2025. Five informants were selected through purposive sampling, consisting of two key informants (nutrition coordinator and MCH health worker) and three general informants (two mothers of stunted children and one mother of a non-stunted child). Data were collected through in-depth interviews guided by structured questions, then analyzed using coding, data categorization, and thematic interpretation.Results: Mothers demonstrated a generally adequate understanding of stunting, recognizing it as impaired growth influenced by nutrition, maternal health, and environmental hygiene. However, gaps emerged between perception and practice. Delayed first ANC visits (K1), limited awareness of the importance of early pregnancy monitoring, and inconsistent adherence to recommended ANC schedules reduced opportunities for preventive interventions. While IFA tablets were routinely distributed and monitored, consumption varied; some mothers adhered well, whereas others discontinued intake due to perceived side effects or insufficient quantities received.Conclusion: Maternal perceptions, ANC practices, and IF A supplementation behaviors significantly influence stunting outcomes in the Mata Public Health Center area. Strengthening maternal awareness through targeted education, improving early ANC engagement, and ensuring consistent monitoring of supplement adherence are essential strategies to reduce stunting prevalence.Keywords: Antenatal Care Visit, Determinant, IFA Consumption, Mother’s perception, Stunting
