Abstract

Background: Grilled intestines (sate usus) is one of favorite foods in Yogyakarta, not only because of its delicious taste, but also because of its cheap price and unique shape. To ensure the food safety, the existence of Escherichia coli was examined.  Objective: To identify factors related to the existence of Escherichia coli on sate usus in one of traditional food stall (angkringan) at Malioboro tourism area.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involved 38 respondents selected using accidental sampling from April to May 2019. The determinants of the existence of Escherichia coli include the sellers' knowledge, behavior, personal hygiene, food serving practice, and sanitation facilities. The existence of Escherichia coli was tested using a laboratory test. The correlations between Escherichia coli and its determinants were analyzed using Chi-Square tests and simple logistic regression.Results: The result of the laboratory test showed that 39.5% of sate usus positively contained Escherichia coli bacteria. Among all factors, only food serving practice was associated with the existence of Escherichia coli. The sellers who had poor food serving practice were three times more likely having Escherichia coli on their sate usus (OR= 3.30, 95% CI= 1.967-5.536).Conclusion: These findings suggested that public health providers should design programs to provide training for food sellers in order to serve food well and healthily. This is crucial to do to ensure the food safety in the tourist areas in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Kendari City has set regional regulation No. 16 of 2014 about smoke-free zones (SFZs), however, it has been no tool that is optimal in law enforcement on the application of SFZs regulation in this region.Objectives: This study aims to measure the factors of community intentions in the development of the whistle-blowing systems (WBS) in law enforcement of the SFZs regulation in Kendari City.Methods: The action research approach was carried out with the development of the WBS application which was followed by an observational survey of the community at eight SFZs that had been set in Kendari City.Results: The WBS application for SFZs regulation enforcement in Kendari City was developed through two interfaces: the website on the law enforcement team (Pamong Praja official police and the Health Office) and an Android-based application that can be downloaded for free on the reporting side. Most people of Kendari City have good intentions (90.2 %) in using WBS for SFZs regulation enforcement. This intention indirectly tends to get support from the community (ORadj = 5.1). The age of teenagers or students has the highest proportion in intending to use the WBS for SFZs regulation law enforcement other than employees of private (ORadj = 3.2).Conclusion: Almost the entire community of Kendari intends to use the WBS to SFZs regulation law enforcement also seen indirectly through social supports. This intention related to the age group of adolescents and the type of work of private employees. Further studies are needed to make one of the SFZs as a pilot project in the implementation of the WBS, e.g. educational institutions as a place for teenagers/students.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy is an infectious disease that can cause physical disability, as well as social, economic, and cultural problems. The prevalence of leprosy in Indonesia is still high.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine patients' behavioral factors that influence the incidence of leprosy.Methods: An ex-post-facto analysis with a case-control approach was used. The population of the study was the entire Brengkok Village community. The sampling technique is a fixed-disease sampling method, in which the all cases (34 persons) are clinically proven leprosy sufferers and the controls (34 persons) are the comparable neighbors of the sufferers. Data analysis was done using a chi-square test, and the risk of disease was measured by the odd ratio (OR).Results: Testing for differences between the case and the control group resulted in p = 0.000 for knowledge about the cause of leprosy, p = 0.005 for detecting an early sign of leprosy, p = 0.000 for knowledge about the transmission of leprosy, and p = 0.000 for affecting the incidence of leprosy. The results showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge and the incidence of leprosy (p = 0.002), while the OR value obtained is 7.50 (CI: 2,168 - 25,946). Furthermore, testing for differences between the case and the control group yielded  p = 1.000 for the use of different clothes; p = 0.000 for the use of different bathing tools; p = 0.000 for the use of different towels, which means there is a connection between the use of towels and the incidence of leprosy; and p = 0.003 for the use of different footwear. In addition, there is a relationship between the actions of people and the incidence of leprosy (p = 0.000), while the OR value obtained was 59,933 (CI: 13.131 - 273,557).Conclusion: The knowledge and actions of people affected by leprosy are predisposing factors associated with the incidence of leprosy and are risk factors for the disease. Knowledge about the transmission of leprosy and the activity of using different towels are the most important factors influencing the incidence of leprosy.
