Hazard Potential Analysis Using Job Safety Analysis at the Mandala Waluya University Laboratory
Full text linkPotential hazards in laboratories can arise from various sources, such as chemical, physical, ergonomic, biological, and mechanical hazards. This study examines the potential hazards and risk levels in the laboratories of Mandala Waluya University, which include chemical, physical, ergonomic, biological, and mechanical hazards. Using a quantitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and Job Safety Analysis (JSA) checklists on five main hazard aspects, risk determination was carried out based on a scale of likelihood and severity, which were classified into low, medium, and high risks. Of the 19 laboratories analyzed, most showed moderate to high risks. Therefore, this analysis focused on three laboratories with moderate to high risks, namely the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Laboratory, the Medical Electrical Technology Laboratory, and the Cytohistology Laboratory, as they had the highest risk levels, particularly related to exposure to chemical and physical hazards and the need to improve the implementation of work safety procedures. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening risk management through the consistent implementation of K3 standard operating procedures, coupled with increased supervision, safety training, and the provision of adequate personal protective equipment to minimize the potential for accidents and ensure the safety of the academic community
Aircraft Noise Levels and Their Impact on the Health of Communities Around Tampa Padang Airport, West Sulawesi: A Descriptive Study
Full text linkAircraft noise exposure is a significant environmental health issue for communities living near airports. Although global evidence shows a link between aircraft noise and health impacts, research on regional airports in Indonesia is still very limited. This study fills that gap by investigating noise exposure levels and health impacts at Tampa Padang Airport, Mamuju, West Sulawesi. A descriptive mixed-methods approach was conducted in Bebanga Village in January 2025. Noise measurements were taken at three strategic locations (500m, 750m, and 1000m from the runway) using a Sound Level Meter calibrated according to the SNI 7231:2009 standard. Health impact data were collected from 94 respondents through validated structured interviews. Aircraft noise levels ranged from 64.5 to 92.1 dB, exceeding the residential zone quality standard of 55 dB (Indonesian regulation) and WHO guidelines (45 dB Lden). The landing phase produced higher noise levels (74.7-92.1 dB) than the take-off phase (64.5-83.1 dB). Health assessments showed that 16% of respondents experienced mild hearing impairment and 1.1% experienced moderate impairment. No sleep disturbance or psychological stress was found. Although noise exposure exceeded national and international standards, the current health impact is relatively limited, possibly due to habituation and the absence of night flights. However, long-term monitoring and implementation of noise mitigation strategies are still necessary

Systematic Review: Barriers for Adolescent HPV Vaccination Education in Asian Countries
Full text linkCervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among women in Asia, with low coverage ofHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in many countries. This low coverage is closely related toeducational barriers that have not been fully addressed.

Factors Associated with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in the Lepo-Lepo Community Health Center Area
Full text linkDengue Hemorrhagic Fever is one of the health problems in Indonesia that tends to increase in the number of patients and spread more widely and can cause extraordinary events (KLB). The prevalence of DHF in Kendari City in 2024 is 0.474% or 474/100,000 population, while the national figure is 0.03%. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with DHF cases in the community within the working area of the Lepo-Lepo Community Health Center through an epidemiological study approach. This was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 7,134 households, with a sample size of 99 respondents. The sampling technique used was proportional random sampling. The analysis method used the chi-square test. The results showed that DHF was significantly related to PSN knowledge (0.000<0.05), 3M Plus behavior (0.000<0.05), resting places (0.029<0.05), and indoor air humidity (0.003<0.05). The conclusion is that there is a relationship between PSN knowledge, 3M Plus behavior, resting place, and indoor air humidity. This study suggests that efforts to prevent DHF in the Lepo-Lepo Community Health Center working area should focus on intensively improving education and socialization regarding mosquito breeding site eradication (PSN) and 3M Plus behavior to the community. In addition, environmental control, such as managing mosquito resting places and regulating indoor air humidity, should be a priority to reduce the habitat of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
