Abstract

Introduction: Depok is one of the areas in West Java with an increasing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) trend. In 2017, 548 DHF cases were reported, and this increased to 1,276 cases in 2020. It is necessary to control and map influencing factors on DHF incidence to detect endemic areas and reduce its spread. Methods: This study was conducted to identify a spatial autocorrelation between DHF, hygiene, and clean latrines in Depok in 2020. The data were obtained from the Depok City's Health Profile published in 2020. The Moran's I and local indicator of spatial association (LISA) univariate and bivariate analysis methods were performed using the GeoDa application. Results and Discussion: DHF (Moran's I = 0.32), hygiene (Moran's I = 0.25) and clean latrines (Moran's I = 0.24) had a significant positive autocorrelation with the clustered pattern. This indicated that data patterns clustered had similar characteristics in the area. Villages in the high-high DHF incidence quadrant were Kukusan, East Beji, Beji, Tanah Baru, Kemirimuka, Depok, Pancoran Mas, and Depok Jaya. In general, there was no spatial autocorrelation neither between DHF and hygiene, nor DHF and clean latrines. However, in some urban villages, significant autocorrelations between these variables were discovered. Conclusion: DHF incidence in this study formed a clustered pattern. Influencing factors, such as hygiene and clean latrines, followed the same pattern. Besides that, a spatial autocorrelation was also apparent between DHF and hygiene, as well as DHF and clean latrines in several urban villages in Depok.

Abstract

Introduction: Online motorcycle taxi drivers spend most of their time outside as either driving or waiting for their customers. Therefore, chances of exposure to various air pollutants are higher and may cause various health problems, especially the respiratory problems. Methods: This is a descriptive study that used the Environmental Health Risk Analysis method to estimate the Risk Quotient (RQ) from exposure to PM10, SO2, CO, O3, and NO2 in drivers. The RQ was calculated based on exposure concentrations from the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Environment Agency; daily working hours, working days in a year, and working period obtained from interviews; additionally, body weight measurement, reference concentration (RfC), and the default value of inhalation intake were also collected. The population of this study was adult online motorcycle taxi drivers who operate around areas which become the air quality measurement stations in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta with a total sample of 81 people. Results and Discussion: The RQ for all minimum, average, and maximum concentrations of SO2, CO, and NO2 were <1. While for the average and maximum concentrations of PM10 and the maximum concentration of O3, the RQ was >1. The safe concentrations, work duration, and the number of working days also surpassed the maximum safety limit levels. Conclusion: PM10 and O3 ambient exposures are categorized unsafe for drivers. Environmental health efforts are necessary to reduce the concentration of air pollutants, and the guidelines to reduce pollutants exposure should be provided for drivers.

Abstract

Introduction: Malaria is still a worldwide health problem, which includes Indonesia. Vector-borne diseases are climate-sensitive and this has raised extended concern over the implications of global climate change on future disease risk. This study aims to analyze the relationship between climate factors and malaria cases in East Kalimantan Province as an illustration to assist the malaria elimination program. Methods: Laboratory confirmation of malaria cases 2014-2020 was analyzed for trends derived from the E-Sismal data. Decomposition analysis was performed to assess seasonality. Climatic data (humidity, temperature, and rainfall) were analyzed with the incidence of malaria using Spearman rank correlation and model analysis with Poisson regression. Results and Discussion: The API value did not decrease significantly, which was only 0.07% from 2014 to 2020, but there was a change in the number based on the type of parasite from Plasmodium falciparum to vivax, which means that program intervention efforts have occurred, while Plasmodium vivax can relapse. There was a seasonal trend decomposition of monthly Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax from December to March. Relative humidity shows a positive correlation while monthly temperature shows a negative correlation with P. vivax malaria cases each month. Conclusion: The outputs from this study are going to be useful at numerous levels of decision-making, for example, in fitting associate early warning and property methods for temperature change and climate change adaptation for malaria infection management programs in East Kalimantan.

Abstract

Introduction: Pesticides are chemicals used by farmers to eliminate pests on plants and increase crop productivity. The intensive use of pesticides increases pesticide residues in soil and water. Pesticides can cause certain cancers such as cancer of the digestive system, stomach, esophagus, lung, intestine, bladder, and lymphoma, mutagenic, and teratogenic. The purpose of this research was to determine the risk analysis of community water quality in the agricultural area of Alahan Panjang, Solok Regency. Methods: The design applied in this research was a descriptive observational study conducted with a cross-sectional design and a field study approach with Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA), by examining30 dug wells in the agricultural area of Alahan Panjang and the people who consume the water taken by purposive sampling. Results and Discussion: The average length of use of well water by the community was 26.87 years. Based on the results of sanitation inspections, most of the well water was vulnerable to contamination, namely 90%. All well water samples exceeded the quality standard value of 0.1 mg/L. All real-time Risk Quotient (RQ) and 30 year RQ values were risky. Conclusion: The use of pesticides that were not in accordance with the established rules causes pollution to the water sources consumed by the community around the Alahan Panjang farm. The excessive use of pesticides can cause contamination of water sources in communities around agricultures areas.

Abstract

Introduction: Helminthiasis becomes one of the infectious diseases included in neglected diseases that receive less attention and mostly occurred in tropical countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020 stated that helminthiasis spread throughout sub-Saharan Africa, America, China, and East Asia where 60% suffered by children. STH infections may result from poor hygiene in many school aged-children, especially in primary school. This article was written to analyze the personal hygiene of primary school children that may affect the incidence of helminthiasis. Discussion: An integrative literature review was conducted using databases, from Google Scholar, Pubmed, Research Gate, and Science Direct databases. It was 24 articles consisting of 20 articles published by international journals and 4 articles in Indonesian journals. Most of the infectious agents in Asia were Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura, while Ascaris lumbricoides, Hookworms, and Trichuris trichiura dominate in Africa. Poor personal hygiene may a risk of infection. For example, children in Asia do not cut their nails or wash their hands. While children in Africa do not wash their hands, walked barefoot, and conducted open defecation. Conclusion: Personal hygiene of primary school children has a positive effect on the incidence of helminthiasis in Asia and Africa with different prevalences. To prevent and control helminthiasis in school children, schools should provide education about personal hygiene, improve sanitary facilities, and routinely give anthelmintics every six months.

Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia ranks 8th globally in the air pollution index, with poor air quality causing premature deaths from lung ailments such as interstitial lung diseases. Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL 6) can be used to detect lung disease caused by air pollution. However, the number of studies investigating the link between air pollutant exposure and KL-6 levels is inadequate. The present study explores the association between air pollutant exposure and KL-6 levels in workers in different settings. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 70 individuals who were divided into two groups. Dust levels were measured using a particle counter as a proxy for air pollutant levels. KL-6 levels were measured with ELISA. The Spearman correlation test, Mann-Whitney test, and generalized linear model were used in statistical analyses. Results and Discussion: Air pollutant exposure differed significantly between outdoor and indoor settings (p = 0.000). A significant difference was found in KL-6 serum levels between outdoor and indoor workers (p = 0.000). Air pollutant levels were inversely associated with KL-6 serum levels in outdoor (r = -0.557, p < 0.05) and indoor workers (r = -0.360, p < 0.05). Working duration did not significantly correlate with KL-6 serum levels in either group. A tendency of linear association among air pollutant exposure, overall working duration, and KL-6 serum levels was found in the multivariable model. Conclusion: Work settings were associated with varying exposures to air pollutants and KL-6 serum levels. Higher exposure to pollutants may be associated with an increase in KL-6 serum levels.

Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea is an endemic disease that causes extraordinary events (pandemic) and is often accompanied by death in Indonesia. Previous reports showed that children who practice poor hand washing or without using soap and running water are 2.175 times more likely to experience diarrhea. It was also discovered that exclusive breastfeeding can form antibodies and other nutrients that protect babies from infections such as diarrhea. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the most influential factors between hand washing habits and exclusive breastfeeding on the incidence of diarrhea in Indonesia. Methods: This study used a meta-analysis method. Results and Discussions: The results showed that the pooled PR value of the hand washing habit variable e1.06 = 2.886 (95% CI 0.87 - 1.24) was greater than the exclusive breastfeeding e0.53 = 1.698 (95% CI 0.36 – 0.70). The data were obtained from articles and journals with a cross-sectional study design. Based on the results of the meta-analysis, people who did not apply proper hand washing habits are 2,886 times more at risk of diarrhea. Furthermore, babies who were not exclusively breastfed were 1,698 times more likely to have diarrhea than those who received exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: The results showed that the most influential factor between the two variables was the hand washing habit variable.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a manifestation of hemodynamic imbalances resulting in various cardiovascular complications and others in the body systems. The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesian adults aged 18 years was 34.1%, and it increased by 8.3%. Globally, it accounts for about 60% of deaths. This study aimed to analyze risk factors for hypertension in industrial workers. Methods: This study used a meta-analysis, a statistical method that combines previous studies to find an effect size value or summary on JASP software. Data in this study came from database online and were sorted according to the inclusion-exclusion criteria following PRISMA. In the final step, 14 research articles were collected. Results and Discussion: Noise intensity had a 1.974 times greater risk on the prevalence of hypertension in industrial workers; work period had 2.316 times greater risk; duration of exposure gave a 1.716 times greater risk; and smoking had a 1.896 times greater risk. Conclusion: The highest risks for the incidence of hypertension in industrial workers come from period of work, noise intensity, and smoking habits; while, the lowest is in the length of exposure

Abstract

Introduction: Diphtheria is an acute disease that is transmitted through air, saliva, and direct contact with patients. In the Community Lead Total Sanitation (CLTS) targets, air quality in the house is an indicator leading to diphtheria incidence as its bacteria can spread through the air. Efforts can be made to overcome diphtheria by providing DPT-HB-HiB3 immunization to increase body immunity and enforcing the CLTS program to improve air quality. Meanwhile, East Java experienced a decrease in CLTS and DPT-HB-HiB3 coverage in 2020. This study aimed to map the distribution of the disease and describe the correlation between diphtheria and its factors. Methods: This study evaluated diphtheria incidence in 38 regencies/cities in East Java. It used the Spearman correlation test to analyze secondary data from the Health Profile of East Java in 2018-2020. Data processing was done using Health Mapper and SPSS. Results and Discussion: No correlation was found between CLTS coverage and the incidence of diphtheria in 2018 (p = 0.207; OR = 0.201) while there was a correlation between DPT-HB-HiB3 immunization coverage and the incidence of diphtheria in 2018 (p = 0.006 ; OR = 0.441). Conclusion: CLTS coverage was not associated with the incidence of diphtheria in the province rather DPT-HB-HiB3 immunization coverage was. Education for public about the importance of DPT-HB-HiB3 immunization is required and maintaining a clean environment to prevent transmission of diphtheria.

Abstract

Introduction: Padang City Sanitation Working Group reported that 34.32% of households in Padang City use unsafe latrines with septic tanks that still do not meet the standards which potentially causes the wastewater from the septic tanks to contaminate the water of the wells. This study was conducted to analyse the effects of the septic tank condition on the microbiological quality parameters of the well-water, namely total coliform and Escherichia coli in Koto Tengah District, Padang. Methods: This study uses a quantitative research method. The data were collected by questionnaires, observation, interviews, and laboratory tests. Water sampling was collected by using the purposive sampling method where the water is taken from 20 wells originating from 10 coastal and 10 non-coastal areas. Results and Discussion: Total coliform was found in all samples, while Escherichia coli was found in two samples from coastal and five from non-coastal regions. The septic tank condition had a strong correlation with the total coliform concentration (r= -0.531) and affected the total coliform concentration in the well-water by 30.8%. However, the Escherichia coli concentration was not related and not affected by the condition of the septic tank (p>0.05). There was no significant difference in the concentration of the microbiological parameters in the coastal and non-coastal areas. Conclusion: The microbiological quality of the well-water did not comply with the quality standards to be used as water sources for the community. The total coliform concentration in the well-water was shown to have a close relationship with the septic tank's condition.
