Abstract

Background: COVID-19 pandemic, in its first year, forced restrictions on social, economic, work, education, and religious activities. All activities were diverted and conducted online to avoid exposure to the coronavirus. These online activities had an impact on students, particularly learning behavior and behavior related to health aspects. Objective: This research aimed to analyze adolescent learning and health behavior. Methods: A descriptive method with a cross-sectional study design was used. The research was conducted from November to December 2021 among students of the Faculty of Public Health, Halu Oleo University, Kendari City, South East Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Data were collected using online questionnaires with Google Forms and were processed using epi info. Results: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents from the aspect of learning behavior was, during the online learning process, many adolescents experienced constraints, such as the lack of optimal internet networks in their areas in rural areas, the limited quota due to the pandemic also had an impact on the economy of students’ parents, power outages and unfavorable weather condition. In addition, changes in adolescent learning behavior became more skilled in using various applications. In terms of health behavior, there was a change in perspective and behavior, which is more sensitive to health, including dietary habits, exercise pattern, and readiness to face the new normal. Conclusion: The students got difficulty learning technically due to online learning, but there were also many positive impacts, namely increasing skills related to the use of technology, social communication, and health behavior.

Abstract

Background: Integrated health service, called Posyandu, is one of the efforts by the Indonesian Government to improve the health quality of older people. However, its utilization is not optimal. Thus, factors related to it warrant investigation. Objective: This study aimed to identify factors related to the utilization of integrated health services for older people. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design among 173 older people aged ≥ 60 registered as members of integrated health services in two areas in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Convenience sampling was applied, and data were collected from January to March 2022. Result: There was a significant relationship between the older people’s perception (AOR = 2.40; CI = 1.14-5.03; p = 0.018), family support (AOR = 2.73; CI = 1.23-6.02; p = 0.028), and cadres’ role (AOR = 3.62; CI = 1.59-8.21; p = 0.011) with the use of integrated health services. Otherwise, treatment-seeking showed no relation with the utilization of integrated health services (AOR = 1.68; CI = 0.74-3.82; p = 0.094). Conclusion: The significant factors revealed in this study can be used to improve the utilization of integrated health services for older people in the community. Education to change the perception of older people is needed, and family support and cadres’ roles should be advanced to improve healthcare visits in order to increase health quality.

Abstract

Background: School-aged children between 6-12 years are a vulnerable group that could be affected by malnutrition, which may cause growth failure and affect their school achievement. East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, is known as the province with the highest cases of malnutrition. Objective: This study aimed to determine serum total protein and albumin levels among malnourished elementary-aged children. Serum total protein and albumin are biochemical parameters that give valuable data due to malnutrition. Methods: This study employed a case-control design. Purposive sampling was used to select the samples with a total of 90 children aged 6 – 12 years, of which 45 were assigned to a case group and a control group. The children’s blood was collected and analyzed using Riele Photometer 5010. The Biuret method was applied for total protein and bromocresol green for albumin serum. Independent sample t-test with a significant value <0.05 was used to determine the difference between mean total protein and albumin levels. Results: The percentage of low total protein levels in malnourished children was 36%, and the percentage of low albumin levels was 27%. The mean level of total protein and albumin was found to be lower in malnourished than in well-nourished children, 6.324±1.1748 g/dL vs. 7.047±0.6330 g/dL (p = <0.001), and 3.927 g/dL±0.7779 g/dL vs. 4.242 g/dL±0.5272 (p = 0.016), respectively. Conclusion: There were significant differences in total protein and albumin serum among malnourished and well-nourished children. The results may serve as basic information for further studies or to create an intervention to reduce malnutrition.

Abstract

Background: The degree of quality health is greatly influenced by existing health services. Thus, assessing the service quality during the COVID-19 pandemic is necessary. Objective: This study aimed to describe the quality of services in health service facilities in North Buton District during the pandemic. Method: A descriptive survey research was conducted in 2021. A total of 400 respondents were selected using accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in the form of frequency distribution tables and narratives. Results: The quality of service (tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy) was sufficient. Changes in the quality of health services were more likely related to changes in service flow and operating hours. However, although the service quality was adequate, some respondents (8% to 12%) complained about unavailability of hand sanitizer in the waiting room, inadequate detailed information related to COVID-19, slow registration process, lack of medical personnel, and less friendly healthcare workers. Conclusion: This study may serve as input for health policymakers and hospital and public health center managers to improve health service quality.

Abstract

Background: The prohibition of the addition of formalin in food is carried out because it is dangerous to health. People generally find it challenging to carry out formalin checks on food, which are usually carried out in laboratories because they use chemicals. Another way to test formalin can use natural ingredients that contain anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are a group of pigments, namely flavonoids. These flavonoids are commonly found in plant parts such as fruits and flowers and other parts such as the skin of shallots. Objective: This study aimed to determine the formalin test with shallots peel extract. Methods: An experimental research design was used in this study using colorimetric, which took anthocyanin extract from the skin of the shallots, and the extract was tested again on formalin tofu to see the color change. Results: Shallots peel extract was tested with an Ultraviolet Visible spectrophotometer instrument, and the results showed the presence of anthocyanins in the extract. Conclusion: Formalin testing with shallots peel extract can be done, but we must pay attention to the extraction process so that maximum results can be obtained.
