Abstract

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, health workers are directly involved in many healthcare activities. If the pandemic lasts for a long time, the situation of ambiguity and full of threats will be unimaginable. It will potentially worsen individual emotions, increase work stress, and affect the quality of life of health workers. Objective: To identify relationships between work stress levels and quality of life for health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used in this study, involving 90 health workers in a public health center in Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia, selected using total sampling. WHOQOL – BREF questionnaire and Stress Scale were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square were used for data analysis. Result: Most respondents did not experience work stress (77.8%) and had a good quality of life (93.3%). There was a significant relationship between work stress and the quality of life of health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic (p <0.001). Conclusion:  Work stress is a significant factor influencing the quality of life. Therefore, interventions to reduce the stress level of the health workers are necessary.

Abstract

After half a century as a regional disease in Central and West Africa, Monkeypox reemerged in 2022 and spread on a transnational and transcontinental scale. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified it as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern due to its rapid spread caused by the ease of global mobilization, risk deviant behaviors, and potential for virus mutations. Through literature review and other secondary data sources, this study scrutinized the risk of Monkeypox disease in Indonesia. Given the country's various characteristics, such as geographical conditions, demographics, population mobility, and virus characteristics, it is most likely that there were Monkeypox cases in Indonesia, but they might not have been detected. Therefore, early vigilance must be owned by the community and accompanied by policy support and intervention to prevent Monkeypox transmission, particularly in surveillance efforts.

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.

Abstract

Background: High maternal morbidity and mortality are brought on by the worldwide public health issue of iron and folic acid deficient anemia. The risk to pregnant women’s and their unborn children’s health is reduced when they correctly get and take iron and folic acid supplements. However, people’s inability to adhere to the supplement frequently results in an immense burden. Objective: This analysis focused on describing the field of adherence to iron among pregnant mothers with anemia using bibliometric analysis of the literature from 1981 to 2022 and on analyzing the scientific trends. Methods: We used Scopus as the search engine, using the keywords: Adherence OR Compliance AND Pregnancy OR Pregnant women AND Iron OR Ferrous AND anemia. English journal articles from journals were selected. Results: We retrieved 360 documents during 1981-2022. The result showed trends topics mentioned, mostly pregnancy, anemia, and iron supplementation. The most published articles were from Australia and USA, with Quartal 1 source as the most relevant journal. Conclusion: Although the quantity of publications has increased regularly, it remains below 40 each year. The topic intervention or experimental study, or adherence were still low. Some countries with significantly increased anemia in the last ten years, with the number of publications and collaboration studies remaining high. The modest number indicates that researchers still have many chances to develop better, more productive techniques to enhance adherence and decrease anemia.

Abstract

Background: Behavior change communication (BCC) is a validated health communication technique for influencing changes in knowledge and behaviors. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of BCC on the knowledge and practice of the Healthy Living Movement (HLM) or called Gerakan Masyarakat Hidup Sehat (Germas). Methods: This was a mixed-methods study. A single group pre-posttest design was conducted in Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia, from May to October 2019. Participants are all first-year students from selected schools, as many as 713 persons. The intervention was the BCC strategy, while the outcomes were knowledge and behavior. The BCC intervention was carried out through several stages, from need assessment, designing an educational intervention, the intervention with pre-and post-test, evaluation, and networking. Specifically, the educational intervention was conducted 60 minutes weekly for three weeks. The contents of HLM included a balanced diet, physical activity, and the relationship between health and academic achievement. The knowledge and practice scores were measured using a structured questionnaire before and after the BCC intervention. STATA 13 was used to calculate the mean difference (MD) using a t-test. To evaluate the BCC intervention, qualitative in-depth interviews were used, and data were analyzed thematically. Results: BCC intervention significantly increased knowledge and behavior on a balanced diet, physical activity, and the relationship between health and academic achievement (p <0.05). Internal social norms were carried out through the HLM campaign and declarations, as well as assigning HLM ambassadors, while advocacy by establishing networking between universities, schools, and public health centers strengthened the sustainability program. Conclusion: BCC intervention improves knowledge and behavior among adolescents. Moreover, the environment is crucial to support and maintaining the program.

Abstract

Background: Pesticides can poison users if they do not follow pesticide use standards. This is because the active substances in these pesticide products can cause acute pain. Objective: The study aimed to identify the factors of safe behavior in using pesticides in farmers. Methods: This study employed a scoping review method. The literature search was carried out on the indexed databases of Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Free Medical Journals, and ProQuest in English. There were 450 research articles, and 15 met the inclusion criteria. From the 15 journals, information was collected from the publication year 2015-2021, article titles, design, population, interventions, and results. Relevant study articles related to the topics were qualitatively analyzed using NVIVO-12 Plus. Results: The analysis showed that knowledge, safe behavior of using pesticides, farmers' education, and personal protective equipment are the dominant factors influencing the safe behavior of using pesticides on farmers. Conclusion: Farmers who do not comply with safe behavior will have a higher health risk because of the toxicity of pesticides that can be directly inhaled and enter through the pores of the farmers’ skin.
