Abstract

Background: Mangrove forests are formations of specific plants, and are generally found growing and developing in protected coastal areas in tropical and subtropical areas. The existence of mangrove forests is very important because it can provide many benefits for human survival, mangrove forests can absorb carbon, prevent sea intrusion, erosion and coastal abrasion, wave dampening, water filtration and become a nursery grown place for several types of animals, especially fish. Objective: This study aims to analyzing land conversion that occurs affects the conversion of mangrove land in coastal areas of Indonesia. Methods: The method used in this study is a literature review study. Literature searches were conducted through the pubmed and google scholar databases using the keyword "mangrove land conversion in Indonesia". Results: Some of the impacts of mangrove land conversion in coastal areas of Indonesia are the formation of ponds and rice fields, settlements, office buildings, fields, ponds and plantations, industrial areas, cultivation ponds, and also conversion into agricultural land such as rice fields and grasslands, accompanied by an increase in demand for palm oil which causes land clearing. Coupled with the increasing population around the coastal areas, there is clearing of mangrove land for infrastructure development such as road and port construction. abrasion that occurs due to conversion and large-scale logging, both for the charcoal industry and firewood and scaffolding. Conclusion: Many factors influence the conversion of mangrove land along the coast of Indonesia, both in terms of economy, social and the environment of the local community. Social conditions of the community, low economic income of the community encourage economic activities of the community in addition to government policies suppressing land changes, thus affecting the increase in mangrove forest cover and deforestation and degradation of mangrove forests. In addition, the presence of strong natural factors allows some species to be unable to grow due to the conversion of nutrients, changes in substrate, changes in salinity or even high waves.

Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS is a global health issue, including in Indonesia, which ranks fifth among countries with a high risk of HIV/AIDS, after South Africa, India, Mozambique, and Nigeria. It is estimated that approximately 1,700,000 people in Indonesia were living with HIV/AIDS in 2023. Coastal communities, particularly fishermen, require special attention in health development as they may be at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. Therefore, efforts to prevent the spread of the disease are necessary through Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) activities and educational sessions or talks on HIV/AIDS. Objective: This study aims to describe community behavior regarding HIV/AIDS testing in coastal areas of Indonesia. Methods: This research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to collect and analyze articles available online, particularly from Google Scholar and ResearchGate. Journal selection followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework. The analysis focused on HIV/AIDS testing in Indonesia’s coastal areas by identifying articles published between 2017 and 2025, using keywords such as Indonesia, HIV/AIDS, Coastal, Knowledge, Attitude, Service Access, and Family Support. Results: The study revealed that knowledge, attitudes, access to services, and family support are associated with HIV/AIDS testing among coastal communities in Indonesia. Limited knowledge due to a lack of information about HIV/AIDS, low education levels, and busy daily activities affects attitudes toward undergoing HIV testing. Difficult and distant access to health facilities discourages people from seeking testing services. Additionally, family support significantly influences a person's decision to take an HIV test. Conclusion: Based on the literature review on coastal community behavior toward HIV/AIDS testing, it can be concluded that knowledge, attitudes, service access, and family support are related to HIV/AIDS testing. These factors are influenced by limited access, inadequate health facilities, cultural, social, and economic conditions, low public awareness and education, and poor health-seeking behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct HIV/AIDS education using appropriate methods. Keywords : Indonesia, HIV/AIDS, Coastal, Knowledge, Attitude, Service Access, Family Support, and Global Health

Abstract

Background: Scabies is a contagious parasitic skin disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei and remains a significant public health concern, particularly in settings characterized by inadequate water sanitation, limited access to healthcare, and high population density. Although it is commonly associated with low-resource environments, scabies affects populations globally, contributing to considerable morbidity, especially among children in coastal and densely populated communities. Poor environmental conditions and limited awareness regarding personal hygiene further exacerbate its transmission. Objective: This study aims to identify factors associated with the incidence of scabies, particularly in relation to environmental sanitation, personal hygiene, and population density in coastal regions. Methods: This study employed a systematic literature review approach by analyzing peer-reviewed journal articles focusing on scabies in coastal environments and high-density populations. Relevant studies were identified, screened, and synthesized to obtain comprehensive evidence regarding associated risk factors and effective control strategies. Results: The findings indicate that poor personal hygiene, inadequate sanitation facilities, and overcrowded living conditions are major contributors to the increased incidence of scabies. In addition, limited health education and restricted access to clean water further facilitate disease transmission. Effective control strategies include health education interventions, improvements in water and sanitation infrastructure, and medical treatments such as mass drug administration using ivermectin or topical permethrin. Conclusion: Comprehensive community-based interventions integrating health education, environmental sanitation improvements, and appropriate medical treatment are essential to reduce the burden of scabies, particularly in vulnerable coastal populations. Keywords: scabies, coastal areas, sanitation, health education, control strategies, Indonesia

Abstract

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is one of the major global health issues, with prevalence rates that indicate a decline in several countries, including Indonesia. The number of cases of HIV/AIDS in the Province of Sumatera Selatan is quite high from 2021 to 2023. Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe the HIV/AIDS distribution pattern in the Province of Sumatera Selatan, analyze the primary contributing factors, and assess the effectiveness of the countermeasures efforts that have been carried out by the relevant parties. Method: This study uses a quantitative deskriptif approach with secondary data analysis derived from the Profile Kesehatan Provinsi Sumatera Selatan document. The variables under analysis include the number of cases of HIV/AIDS, the distribution of cases according to the type of case, and the number of affected individuals. Results: The analysis's findings indicate that the number of HIV cases has significantly increased, rising from 321 cases in 2021 to 846 cases in 2023. Proportion of sufferers was dominated by man, accounting for 82% of all cases of HIV and 83% of all cases of AIDS. The age group of 20–29 years old has the highest number of HIV-related cases, while the age group of 30–39 years old has the highest number of AIDS-related cases. Conclusion: This highlights the need for health education, access to health services, and stigma reduction for HIV/AIDS patients. It is anticipated that the results of this study will serve as a guide for the local government in determining more appropriate and effective measures to combat HIV/AIDS in the Province of Sumatera Selatan.

Abstract

Background: Malaria is a health problem that can lead to death. Malaria is still a significant public health problem in Riau Province, Indonesia. Factors such as environmental conditions, population density, and access to health services are thought to play a role in this distribution pattern. Objective: This study aims to describe the distribution of malaria in Riau Province. In particular, this study focuses on the identification of areas with the highest Malaria burden, analysis of trends in Malaria incidence from year to year, and exploration of factors that may influence the distribution pattern of this disease in Riau based on secondary data from the Riau Provincial Health Profile. Methods: This study used a quantitative descriptive design to analyze the distribution of Malaria in Riau Province. Secondary data was obtained from the annual report of the Riau Provincial Health Office which included Malaria case data, demographic characteristics, and geographical information. Data were processed and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods to describe the frequency, percentage, and trend of Malaria cases. Results: The results of the study showed significant variation in the distribution of Malaria cases in Riau Province. Some districts/cities have a higher incidence rate of Malaria compared to other regions. The trend of Malaria incidence from year to year shows fluctuations, with an increase in cases in certain years. Further analysis identified potential risk factors, such as areas with extensive forests, swampy areas, and limited access to health facilities, that contribute to the region's high rates of Malaria. Conclusion: The distribution of malaria in Riau Province is uneven, with some areas facing a heavier burden of the disease. Environmental factors, geographical accessibility, and socioeconomic conditions play an important role in influencing this distribution pattern. Malaria control efforts in Riau need to be focused on high-risk areas, with comprehensive intervention strategies including vector control, early diagnosis and treatment, and public awareness-raising. Further research is needed to deeply understand the dynamics of malaria transmission in Riau and to evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing control programs. Keywords: Malaria, Malaria Distribution, Risk Factors, Riau Province, Health Profile.

Abstract

Background : Malaria is one of the public health problems that is still a concern in endemic areas such as Intan Jaya Regency, Papua. Environmental factors and community behavior are thought to play an important role in supporting or inhibiting the spread of this disease. Therefore, an understanding of the various risk factors that influence the incidence of malaria is essential to determine the right preventive measures. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze factors related to malaria incidence in the working area of Wandai Health Center, Wandai District, Intan Jaya Regency, Papua through a literature review approach. Methods: This study used a literature review method from several journal sources relevant to the topic of malaria, especially in endemic areas. Data were reviewed based on variables such as the presence of livestock pens, mosquito breeding sites, habits of using mosquito nets, and habits of going out at night, and analyzed by comparing the results of statistical tests in each study. Results: The results of the review showed that there was a significant relationship between the presence of mosquito breeding sites, the habit of using mosquito nets, and the habit of going out at night with the incidence of malaria. Meanwhile, the presence of livestock pens did not show a significant relationship with the increase in malaria cases. Conclusion: Malaria in Intan Jaya Regency, Papua is influenced by a combination of environmental and behavioral factors, especially related to mosquito breeding sites and community activities at night. Malaria control efforts must focus on behavioral interventions and improving the environmental conditions of people's homes. Keywords : Malaria, community behavior, environment, anopheles mosquitoes.

Abstract

Background: Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is one of the main causes of death and morbidity in children under five, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. ARI is greatly influenced by various factors, such as the living environment, nutritional status of children, immunization, and family behavior and knowledge in preventing disease. Central Sulawesi as one of the provinces in Indonesia still faces challenges in controlling this disease. Objective: This study aims to describe the distribution of ARI case findings in toddlers in Central Sulawesi Province in 2023 and to analyze the achievement of national targets. Method: This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from the Health Profile of Central Sulawesi Province in 2023. The analysis was carried out using descriptive techniques to describe the scope of pneumonia case findings in toddlers in all districts/cities. Results: The results of the study showed that the coverage of pneumonia findings in toddlers in Central Sulawesi Province in 2023 was only 55.8%, still far below the national target of 75%. Only 5 out of 13 districts/cities managed to achieve this target. The low coverage of case finding is closely related to unhealthy environmental factors, low family knowledge about preventing ARI, and risk behavior such as smoking in the home. Conclusion: Efforts to control ARI in toddlers need to be focused on increasing early detection, improving the quality of housing and the environment, and public health education. Cross-sector interventions are very important to reduce morbidity and mortality due to ARI, especially in areas with low case finding coverage.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia remains the leading cause of mortality among children under five worldwide. According to the Banda Aceh Health Office Report (2018), the number of under-five children affected by pneumonia has increased annually. The highest number of pediatric pneumonia cases was reported in the working area of the UPTD Banda Raya Primary Health Center. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with pneumonia among children under five in the working area of UPTD Banda Raya Primary Health Center, Banda Aceh, in 2019. Objective: This study also aims to describe the distribution of pneumonia cases in North Sumatra Province during the 2019 period based on secondary data obtained from the Provincial Health Profile. Methods: This study employed a case-control (retrospective) design. The study population consisted of all children aged 12–59 months, with a total sample of 142 participants. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate approaches. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test with a 95% confidence level (p-value < 0.05). Results: The results indicated that the significant risk factor associated with pneumonia incidence was house ventilation area (OR = 15.81; 95% CI = 4.70–53.12; p = 0.0001). In contrast, child age (OR = 1.15; 95% CI = 0.54–2.43; p = 0.705), sex (OR = 1.11; 95% CI = 0.57–2.16; p = 0.737), maternal knowledge (OR = 0.38; 95% CI = 0.12–1.24; p = 0.112), and housing density (OR = 1.80; 95% CI = 0.78–4.13; p = 0.163) were not significantly associated with pneumonia incidence among children under five in the study area. Conclusion: The primary risk factor associated with pneumonia among children under five is inadequate house ventilation. Therefore, improving environmental sanitation and promoting clean and healthy living behaviors are essential preventive measures to reduce the incidence of pneumonia. Keywords: under-five pneumonia, health distribution, North Sumatra, health profile
