Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1.7 billion cases of diarrhea occur each year, with around 760,000 deaths of children under the age of five. In Indonesia, the high incidence of diarrhea is mainly associated with poor sanitation conditions and limited access to basic health services. One of the main interventions in treating diarrhea is the administration of oral rehydration salts (ORS), which functions to replace lost body fluids and prevent dehydration. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the number of diarrhea cases and the coverage of oralit provision in Provinsi Kalimantan Timur, as well as to identify areas with low intervention as a basis for formulating health policies. Method: This study is a quantitative descriptive study with secondary data analysis obtained from   Provinsi Kalimantan Timur  Health Office and the national health information system in the period 2020–2023. Results: There is an imbalance between the incidence of diarrhea and the coverage of oralit provision in several areas. Paser and Kutai Barat districts show low coverage of oralit despite high diarrhea rates. In contrast, Balikpapan and Samarinda cities show high coverage along with good access to health services. Conclusion: Increasing the distribution of oralit and public education are the keys to reducing diarrhea rates in Kalimantan Timur.

Abstract

Background: Malaria is a life-threatening irresistible illness transmitted to people through the nibble of an tainted female Anopheles mosquito. It is commonly found in tropical regions and is both preventable and curable. East Kalimantan Province continues to face significant challenges in reducing malaria incidence. Individual and environmental factors play important roles in shaping community health status, including the spread of this disease. Objective: This study aims to describe the distribution of malaria disease in East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, during the 2017–2020 period based on secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics of East Kalimantan. Methods: A quantitative descriptive approach was used with secondary data analysis obtained from the East Kalimantan Statistics Bureau. The data analyzed included the number of malaria suspects, confirmed malaria cases, and malaria-related deaths. Data were organized into tables and graphs and analyzed narratively to identify patterns and trends. Results: Findings indicate a significant decline in malaria suspects during the 2017–2020 period, likely due to government interventions such as the distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets in endemic areas. However, the number of confirmed malaria cases fluctuated annually without a consistent upward or downward trend. Meanwhile, the number of malaria-related deaths remained relatively low and stable over the last three years. Conclusion: The distribution of suspected malaria cases showed a significant decrease, most likely influenced by government interventions. Nevertheless, the fluctuating number of confirmed cases suggests that transmission still occurs in the community. Environmental factors and public behavior, such as low adherence to using bed nets, contribute to the continued spread. Despite this, the mortality rate remained low, reflecting improvements in healthcare services.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection that attacks lung tissue, especially the alveoli. This disease can be caused by various microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Among vulnerable age groups, toddlers are one of the groups most at risk for serious complications from pneumonia. Therefore, efforts to control pneumonia in toddlers are a top priority in public health programs. Objective: This study aims to distribute the Discovery of Pneumonia Patients in Toddlers in Aceh province in 2022 Methods: This study used a quantitative descriptive method with secondary data analysis obtained from the Aceh Provincial Health Profile document. The data analyzed included Pneumonia Patients in Toddlers in Aceh province in 2022. Results: Based on data from the Aceh Provincial Health Office in 2022, the coverage of pneumonia cases in toddlers shows variations between districts/cities. Some areas show fairly high coverage, while others are still low. This indicates that there are differences in the implementation of early detection programs and reporting of pneumonia cases in toddlers at the local level. In general, although there has been an increase compared to the previous year, the coverage of case discovery has still not reached the national target in most regions. Conclusion: The coverage of the discovery of pneumonia cases in toddlers in Aceh Province in 2022 shows that control efforts have begun to run, but they are not evenly distributed throughout the region. Capacity building for health workers, public education, and stricter monitoring is needed to improve early detection and case reporting. Appropriate and rapid intervention is crucial in reducing the number of illnesses and deaths due to pneumonia in children under five.

Abstract

Background: Microplastic contamination in waterways continues to increase and has been detected in various gastropod species. Living on the seabed makes gastropods susceptible to accumulating microplastics, which can potentially impact the health of organisms and become a route of exposure for humans through the consumption of seafood. Objective: Reviewing the literature on microplastic contamination levels in gastropods, the shapes and types of polymers accumulated, and their implications for human health. Method: The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) followed the PRISMA guidelines, using articles from Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar (2014–2024) with criteria for empirical studies of microplastics in gastropods and related marine biota. Results: Gastropods in various locations were found to contain microplastics, predominantly in the form of fibers, fragments, and films, with PE and PP as the main polymers. The reported sizes varied, ranging from 100 nm–10 µm in Bellamya aeruginosa to 0.250–5 mm in Cerithidea obtusa. This exposure has the potential to affect the health of organisms and increase the risk of transfer of hazardous chemicals to humans. Conclusion: Gastropods serve as bioindicators of microplastic pollution and a route of exposure for humans. Controlling plastic pollution, monitoring marine products, educating the public, and harmonizing analytical methods are key to reducing ecological and health risks.

Abstract

Background: The continuous increase in global plastic production without adequate management has led to the entry of microplastics into aquatic ecosystems. The accumulation of these particles in marine biota, especially fish and shellfish, which are the main food sources for the Indonesian people, raises concerns about potential risks to human health. Objective: his article aims to review microplastic contamination in fish and shellfish in Indonesia and examine its implications for human health. Methods: This study used a literature review method by selecting 10 articles published between 2020 and 2025 from the PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Garuda databases Results: Studies show that microplastics are consistently found in various fish species (e.g., Sardinella fimbriata, mackerel, red snapper) and blood clams (Anadara granosa) in Kendari, South Sulawesi, Java, Banten, and Southeast Asian waters. The dominant type is fiber, followed by fragments and film, with the main polymers being polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyamide (PA). Clams, as filter feeders, tend to accumulate higher levels of particles than fish, while spatial variations indicate the influence of local anthropogenic activities. From a health perspective, exposure to microplastics has the potential to cause tissue irritation, inflammation, and long-term toxicity due to their ability to adsorb hazardous chemicals. Conclusion: The study confirms that microplastic contamination in fish and shellfish is a serious issue in Indonesia with implications for public health. Mitigation efforts are needed through land-based plastic waste control, standardization of marine biota surveillance, and public education to reduce exposure risks.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia continues to face significant challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 2 related to eliminating all forms of malnutrition. Stunting remains a major nutritional problem, prompting the government to implement various interventions, including the Supplementary Feeding Program (PMT) for pregnant women and children under five. This program is expected to improve the nutritional status of vulnerable groups and prevent stunting. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the PMT Program at Mokoau Public Health Center by examining the program’s input, process, and output components. Methods: This qualitative study employed in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews as data collection techniques. A total of six informants participated, consisting of nutrition officers, posyandu cadres, pregnant women, and mothers of children under five at Nanga-Nanga Posyandu. Data were analyzed using content analysis through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results: The PMT Program at Mokoau Health Center operates through coordination between health officers and posyandu cadres. Target groups are determined based on data from the Health Office, routine weighing results, and regular posyandu examinations. Nutrition officers ensure the quality and eligibility of the food provided, while cadres assist with distribution. Key challenges include limited cadre availability for home delivery and the absence of recipients during distribution. Despite these obstacles, community response remains positive, and beneficiaries feel the program contributes to improved nutritional adequacy and supports stunting prevention efforts. Conclusion: The PMT Program at Mokoau Health Center is beneficial in improving the nutritional intake of pregnant women and young children and holds potential to support stunting prevention. However, stronger socialization efforts and more equitable distribution mechanisms are needed to enhance program effectiveness.

Abstract

Background: Monkeypox, also known as monkey pox, is a zoonotic disease caused by the Orthopoxvirus from the Poxviridae family. The virus was first identified in a sick monkey in Denmark in 1958 after being transported from Singapore. The first human case was detected in a child in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1970. The transmission of this virus, which can spread both between humans and from animals to humans, has led to changes in health policies and travel procedures, ultimately affecting social interactions, trade, and culture. Objectives: To identify the levels of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to monkeypox among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Kendari City in 2024. Method: The method used in this study was a quantitative descriptive approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 144 respondents who had undergone HIV screening at the Lepo-Lepo Health Center. Results: The results indicated that 83.3% of respondents had good knowledge, 74.3% demonstrated a positive attitude toward Mpox prevention, yet only 36.1% practiced preventive measures effectively. There remains a noticeable gap in the implementation of preventive actions despite adequate knowledge and attitudes. Respondents generally showed a positive perception of the importance of Mpox prevention; however, social stigma and limited access to information emerged as major challenges. Conclusion: This study concludes that community-based education and intervention programs are essential to improve preventive practices and to serve as a foundation for developing more effective health policies among high-risk populations.
