Abstract

The prevalence of Refractive Error (RE) in school children tends to increase. The study aims to analyze the prevalence and determinants of RE in elementary school children. The research was carried out in 2022, using a cross-sectional design. The research population is 110 students in grades V and VI of Krapyak State Elementary School, Semarang City. A total of 80 students were selected as samples with purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out by interview techniques using questionnaires. RE is measured by Snellen Chart examination and pinhole lens. The multiple logistic regression multivariate test was used for risk factor analysis. The bivariate analysis resulted in 6 variables eligible for inclusion in the multivariate analysis model. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that there were 2 risk factors for RE, namely: smartphone use ≥ 2 hours continuously per day (OR = 14.622 95% CI 1.124 - 190.181) and parental history (OR = 11.194, 95% CI 1.827 -65.567). The probability of RE if a student has both risk factors is 71%. The use of smartphones ≥ 2 hours continuously per day and the presence of parental history of RE are risk factors for RE events in elementary school students.

Abstract

Proper nourishment is vital for persons who participate in physical activity and require increased amounts of important nutrients. Adolescents should give priority to this matter, as their developing bodies require greater nutritional requirements to support their growth and physical activity. An investigation carried out on adolescent athletes in Indonesia revealed that sports schools and athlete training facilities frequently encounter insufficient food consumption, which may have an impact on athlete performance and long-term well-being. The study aimed to examine the nutritional factors that influence body fat in young athletes who are enrolled in sports schools in Central Java, Indonesia. The study was conducted with the participation of 110 young athletes. The data for this study were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. The result shows a relationship between gender, energy intake, protein intake, physical activity, and body fat percentage, as well as a correlation between age and BMI for age. The result of the multivariate analysis suggests that gender had the most effect on body fat percentage (r=0.77; p-value=0.0001). Young athletes should receive comprehensive education and monitoring from certified experts to ensure eating and exercise habits that enhance performance and promote long-term health.

Abstract

The decrease in the incidence of malaria has only reached 66.67%, from the target of 90% in 2030; Anopheles spp mosquitoes are zoophilic, So mosquitoes are more numerous in cattle sheds. The research is intended to change vector control policies by considering livestock sheds to accelerate malaria elimination. This study was a Pre-experiment with the design of the static group comparison, mosquito capture used a spot survey of six houses; three houses have goat sheds and three cowshed houses; mosquito catching with WHO guidelines that one house there are two catchers; likewise in cattle sheds. Arrests were made all night from 06.00 pm-06.00 am. The results, the ratio of Anopheles spp mosquitoes caught in livestock sheds is 36.5 times more than at home; while the vector is 2.5 more. The results of the statistical analysis are significant (p=0,000). Livestock sheds can be used as an alternative to malaria vector control to accelerate the decrease in density so that the incidence of malaria also decreases.

Abstract

This study investigated the perceptions of students at DEBESMSCAT Cawayan Campus regarding COVID-19 vaccines. A descriptive survey method was used, and data were collected using a questionnaire. The findings revealed that a majority of the students at DEBESMSCAT Cawayan Campus have received COVID-19 vaccinations, falling short of the targeted vaccination rate of 70% mandated by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for the resumption of face-to-face classes. A proportion of unvaccinated students expressed willingness to receive the vaccine. Overall, the COVID-19 vaccine was perceived as a crucial tool in preventing and protecting individuals from the virus, ensuring the safety of students' health in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a portion of students harbored doubts about the vaccine's efficacy in protecting against the virus. The study identified common reasons behind vaccine hesitancy among students, including fear of potential side effects, lack of trust in the vaccine's safety and effectiveness, and exposure to misinformation about the vaccine. These findings highlight the importance of addressing the concerns of hesitant students through educational initiatives and awareness campaigns that emphasize the benefits of vaccination. Such efforts will play a vital role in promoting vaccine acceptance and ensuring the well-being of students and the broader community in the face of the ongoing pandemic. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying factors influencing students' decision-making processes regarding vaccination.

Abstract

The risk of chemical exposure in hospitals is a critical issue in the field of healthcare. Exposure to hazardous chemicals can have a negative impact on the health of healthcare workers operating in hospital environments. Hospitals utilize various chemicals, and exposure can occur through inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption. This research, conducted in the year 2023, aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes of hospital employees regarding chemical hazards. The research employed a cross-sectional design with a total population sampling technique, with a sample size of 154 employees including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, radiologists, and support staff divided into three units: medical services, medical support, and management. Data analysis utilized bivariate analysis and the chi-square test for relationship testing. Multivariate analysis was also employed using logistic regression. The study's results reveal that 63% of the individuals are under 30 years of age, the majority are female (67.5%), 66.2% have less than 3 years of work experience, 62.3% work in medical service units, and 77.3% have an education level of a bachelor's degree or higher. Additionally, 52.6% of the employees are unmarried. A total of 76% of employees exhibit a positive attitude, and 89% possess good knowledge of chemical hazards. The study demonstrates a relationship between individual characteristics (age, gender, work experience, and unit) and the level of knowledge of chemical hazards among hospital employees. The multivariate analysis revealed that age and work unit are the influential variables. This research concludes that the majority of employees at the Dental and Oral Hospital possess good knowledge of chemical hazards and can recognize chemical hazard symbols in accordance with the GHS. Furthermore, most of them exhibit a positive attitude towards preventive measures and understanding of chemical hazards. The data analysis results indicate that there is a relationship between age, length of service, and work unit with the level of chemical hazard knowledge.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought an upsurge in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage, leading to emergent challenges in its post-use management, especially in urban centers like Jakarta. This study conducted a quantitative exploration, employing simple random sampling techniques, to investigate Jakarta citizens; perceptions of PPE waste management. Two significant factors, "Safe Management and Regulation" and "PPE Waste Handling," were identified as paramount in addressing the issue. Through cluster analysis, the population was segmented into three distinct clusters: "Regulatory-Driven Safety Respondents," "Operational PPE Focus Respondents," and "Minimal Management Respondents." The study also unveiled a notable influence of socioeconomic variables on PPE waste management attitudes, particularly occupancy and income. These findings give policymakers, urban planners, and researchers invaluable insights, emphasizing the need for a dual-focused approach encompassing regulatory and operational strategies tailored to specific demographic segments for optimal impact.
