Abstract

Elementary school children experience development in all aspects, both in terms of physical, psychological and sociological. In the field of motor skills, elementary school-age children have entered basic movement patterns and becoming skilled requires practice. They also need training for social maturity and physical fitness improvement. Games combined with the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) approach can develop physical abilities, movement coordination, psychology, and social skills according to the characteristics of elementary school students. The purpose of this study was to produce a product model for learning physical fitness material for elementary school students in grades II with the TPSR approach. The research design used is Research and Development. This research was conducted in elementary schools in the Semarang City, Central Java, Indonesia. The entire population was used as a research sample of 209 students. Data collection techniques using observation. The experimental data were analyzed descriptively analytically. The results showed that the physical education development model of fitness material with the TPSR approach was carried out through the Bola Bali Maning (Back Ball Match/ BBM) games. The results of small-scale and large-scale tests for assessing attitudes, knowledge and skills in physical fitness material show that the TPSR approach has an effect on student character with a p-value for each assessment of 0.000 0.05. It can be concluded that the development of a physical education learning model for fitness with the TPSR approach through BBM games is effective in improving students' knowledge, attitudes and skills.

Abstract

Indonesia reached the highest number of deaths caused by COVID-19 in children under five years, and the cases continued to rise to 10.6% in February 2022. Vaccination is an effective way to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of its infection in children under five years has been underestimated, and parent’s hesitancy still becomes an obstacle. This study aimed to identify factors associated with willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccination for children under five years among parents based on the Health Belief Model. A cross-sectional study was held in Jakarta from August 1st – 20, 2022. A total of 173 parents with children under five years (0-59 months) were taken using the consecutive sampling method, and data were taken with self-reported online and printed questionnaires. Chi-square bivariate and binary logistic regression multivariate analysis were used to determine the association. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were presented, and statistical significance was set at p 0.05. Parent’s willingness level to get COVID-19 vaccination for their children was 68.8%. The multivariate analysis revealed that perceived benefit (p=0.045; OR=2.784; 95%CI=1.023-7.579) and cues to action (p0.001; OR= 23.144; 95%CI= 8.577-62.453) were predictors of parent’s willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccine for their children.

Abstract

Cosmetic industry has a high risk of occupational diseases such as talcosis or respiratory disorders among the workers at PT X. Based on the preliminary study, respiratory disorders are indicated among the workers because of high level of dust powder from talc powder at the work place. Occupational diseases can be prevented such as by using correct and precise Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Methods: The study aimed to determine the relationship between respiratory symptoms, knowledge, education, and job tenure with the obedience of PPE usage to prevent occupational disease because of talc powder among cosmetic division workers at PT X. The study used an analytical survey research method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was 48 people using the Total Sampling technique. Statitiscal test using Chi-Square Test. Results: The result of the test showed there is a relationship between respiratory symptoms (p-value = 0,024) and knowledge (p-value = 0,006) variable with the obedience of PPE usage among workers (p-value = 0,006), to be found there is a respondence who has less knowledge regarding occupational safety and health is considered to have 18.3 times more risk of being disobedient in using PPE, while there is no relationship between education (p-value = 0,161) and job tenure (p-value = 1.000) with the obedience of PPE usage among cosmetic division workers at PT X. Conclusion: There is a relationship between respiratory symptoms and knowledge with the obedience of PPE usage among the workers, and it’s recommended to company owner to provide training for the workers about the importance of PPE usage that mainly corrects and precisely, also doing supervision and daily checking on the workers before, during, and after work.

Abstract

The dynamics of multi-sectoral collaborations between HIV/AIDS-supporting non-governmental organizations and public health institutions can significantly affect how programs are implemented, especially during emergencies like the once-in-100-year COVID-19 pandemic. These collaboration dynamics were explored in a South African context in the Western Cape province during COVID-19. Interviews and a focus group discussion were conducted with participants (n=6) from two small-scale HIV/AIDS-supporting NGOs and one public health institution. Challenges of multi-sectoral collaboration identified included inadequate engagement opportunities, limited opportunities to contribute during engagements, and being forced to innovate to survive. Enablers of multi-sectoral collaboration, such as communication, leadership, coordination of responsibilities, and trust and transparency, were found to be crucial for effective and strong working relationships during times of unparalleled disaster. New insights are offered on how enablers of collaboration that apply during normal circumstances should be thought of during times of crisis, and how these can be adapted and augmented to help HIV/AIDS collaborative partnerships survive future potentially disastrous situations like climate change.

Abstract

 Pesticides are often used in oil palm plantations to prevent disturbing animals and plants. Pesticide sprayers are vulnerable to pesticide exposure which can reduce cholinesterase levels is an indicator of pesticide poisoning. Long-term pesticide exposure and excessive doses cause the production of free radicals in the body, thereby increasing inflammatory markers, one of which is total IgE. This study aimed to describe cholinesterase and total IgE levels in oil palm farmers. This study used the quantitative-descriptive research method. The sampling was conducted at PT. X in Sanggau District of West Kalimantan Province. Examining cholinesterase levels used the Architec c-8000 device with the DGKC butyrylthiocholine 37°C method, while total IgE used the immunochemmiluminescent method with the Immulite 2000 device. The examination was carried out at the Prodia National Reference Lab in Jakarta. Based on the cholinesterase measurement results taken from 133 workers who underwent medical check-ups, 20 data were taken that were close to the threshold value less than normal to examine total IgE levels. The results obtained from the overview of cholinesterase levels showed that 20 pesticide sprayers (100%) had normal cholinesterase levels, and four (20%) had normal total IgE levels. Pesticide exposure will decrease cholinesterase levels, and increase IgE levels.

Abstract

Chemical exposure known as chemical hazards and toxic substances (CHTS), which occur through inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact, causes serious illness, irritation, corrosion, injury, and even death. The chemicals analyzed are limited to the reagents used in the mineral ore production process, in addition to dermal exposure. Data on hazard identification and exposure evaluation were collected. The utilization of CHTS will continue to increase in the coming years, thereby leading to health impacts on workers. Global data released by ILO showed a 270 million (62.8%) and 160 million (37.2%) rise in work accidents and illnesses, culminating in 430 million per year. Data on the number of workers who received benefits from the Work Accident Insurance program of the National Social Security Agency for Employment (known as BPJSTK), showed that 210,789 people (4,007 fatal) 221,740 people (3,410 fatal), and 234,370 people (6,552 fatal) experienced work-related accidents and illnesses in Indonesia. Therefore, this qualitative study aims to examine and analyze the health risks of mining workers exposed to CHTS through inhalation- using the observation method. The Chemical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA) method issued by the Malaysian Department of Safety and Health in 2018 was used to assess the inhalation exposure rate. The analyzed chemicals were limited to reagents used in production with data collected through the semi-quantitative method. The results showed that the inhalation exposure risk level is categorized as moderate and capable of causing health defects related to acute toxicity and specific target organ toxicity-single exposure (STOT-SE). Furthermore, 4 (four) out of 6 (six) reagents were identified as having significant inhalation exposure risk, hence, controls related to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) in the mineral ore processing process must be increased.

Abstract

ABSTRACT : It is known that medical waste has increased in recent years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which was followed by an increase in ash from burning medical waste processing using incinerators. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of using medical waste incineration ashes on health and the environment, as well as the potential for using solidification techniques to make the ash into paving blocks. The ash used was obtained from a medical waste processing facility in Surakarta, Indonesia's Central Java. The test object was created using seven different combinations of ash, sand, and cement with a water-cement ration of 0.5 and cured for 28 days. The optimum compressive strength condition was determined as the basis for the composition of medical waste incineration ash as a mixture of paving block raw materials, which was then tested for the content of heavy metal compounds using the SNI 8808: 2019 method. According to research, the ash from medical waste incineration contains heavy metal compounds such as Pb, Ni, Cu, and Cd and has the potential to be used as a mortar mixture. Six of the seven mortar compositions with the addition of incineration medical waste ash met the compressive strength requirements of SNI 03-0691-1996 for category D paving blocks to be used in parks and other places.

Abstract

Every year, adolescent pregnancy cases in Javanese society become challenging. Reproductive health education must be provided before the child enters puberty despite experiencing cultural barriers in its delivery. This study aims to explore children’s knowledge and attitudes about puberty and reproductive health to analyze the need for reproductive health education for children living in Javanese culture. This cross-sectional study sampled 174 children aged 9-11 years in the capital city of Central Java. Children in this study are female (54.6%) and male (45.4%), and 20.1% of them have already experienced puberty. As many as 48.9% of children have low knowledge, especially about puberty signs and menstruation. Most children have good attitudes about reproductive health, but 6.9% are permissive. There is no significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes (p-value=0.606). Puberty status is also unrelated to children’s knowledge (p-value=0.678) and attitudes (p-value=0.291). Permissive attitudes regarding adolescent pregnancy need to be highlighted. This is potentially harmful to children, especially if the child does not immediately engage in proper reproductive health education. The reproductive health educational model does not need to separate children’s classes based on their puberty status. The Ministry of Health and Education needs to improve children’s reproductive health knowledge by considering the character of Javanese society, which is still taboo.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an endemic disease that causes high morbidity and mortality rates. The prevalence of DHF in Indonesia (2018) reached 24.75 per 100,000, and in South Kalimantan (2019) was 56.83 per 100,000 population. One of the efforts to control dengue vectors is the use of larvicides. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of Srigading Plants (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis) as Aedes aegypti larvae as vectors of DHF in Wetlands. This study used a true experimental research design using the post-test-only controlled group design to determine the effectiveness of Srigading extract (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis) against the death of Aedes aegypti instar IV mosquito larvae. Based on the results, a significance value or p-value of 0.0001 0.05 was obtained. It indicated a significant difference between the number of mosquito larvae deaths and the concentration of Srigading extract given.
