The Relationship between Preventive Behavior and Environment with Malaria in Indonesia: Meta-Analysis Study
Get PDFBackground: Malaria infection is caused among others by behavioral and environmental factors around the house. Method: The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) method was used to select articles according to the criteria set by the researcher, and the meta-analysis was a follow-up analysis to determine the difference in the mean of selected articles in the PRISMA protocol. This article analyzes the relationship between preventive behavior factors and the home environment on malaria incidence with a meta-analytic. Study approach—search articles through three electronic journal portal websites with keywords, namely malaria, environment, and Indonesia. The criteria for the article are the time of publication (1 January 2020 to 3 March 2021), preventive behavior, home environment, original research, and case-control study design. Analysis using software Review Manager 5.4. Findings: The results of the literature search using the PRISMA protocol obtained four articles. The results of the analysis showed a positive relationship to malaria, namely variables leaving the house at night (p < 0.0001), ventilation of mosquito net houses (p = 0.01), and puddles of water in the environment around the house (p = 0.05). The results showed that the latest malaria research in Indonesia related to preventive behavior and home environmental factors is still minimal. The results of the study can be used as input for policymakers in controlling malaria
Impact of Iron Tablet and Moringa Leaf Capsule Supplementation on Hemoglobin Levels in Anemic Pregnant Women in Pariaman City, 2016
Get PDFBackground: Iron deficiency anemia is a prevalent global nutritional problem, particularly affecting pregnant women in developing countries. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of iron tablet supplementation and Moringa leaf capsules on hemoglobin (Hb) levels in anemic pregnant women in Pariaman City, Indonesia. Method: A total of 60 pregnant women were divided into two groups: one receiving iron tablets and the other Moringa leaf capsules for four weeks. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. Findings: In the iron supplementation group, the average Hb level increased from 9.05 g/dL to 9.46 g/dL, with a significant improvement (p = 0.001). Similarly, the Moringa capsule group showed an Hb increase from 8.99 g/dL to 9.27 g/dL (p = 0.019). While iron tablets resulted in a greater increase in Hb, Moringa capsules, rich in natural iron, also demonstrated significant effectiveness. The study concludes that both iron supplements and Moringa capsules are effective in increasing Hb levels, with Moringa capsules being a potential natural alternative for combating anemia in pregnant women. However, optimizing the dosage of Moringa could further enhance its efficacy. Factors such as adherence, diet, and knowledge of iron absorption enhancers and inhibitors play crucial roles in the success of the interventions
Analyzing the Impact of Population Density on Hepatitis A Prevalence Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Sudimoro District, Pacitan Regency
Get PDFBackground: This study examines the relationship between population density and Hepatitis A prevalence in Sudimoro District, Pacitan Regency, using data from 2019. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology was employed to analyze spatial patterns and correlations. Method: The research applied a quantitative approach, utilizing secondary data on Hepatitis A cases and population density. Simple linear correlation analysis revealed a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.48) between population density and the number of Hepatitis A cases, indicating that higher population density is associated with increased disease prevalence. Findings: Villages with high density, such as Gunung Rejo and Sudimoro, generally reported more cases, while those with lower density showed fewer cases. However, anomalies like Sembowo, which has high density but fewer cases, suggest that other local factors, such as sanitation and healthcare access, also play significant roles. The study underscores the importance of targeting high-density areas for public health interventions while considering additional factors influencing disease spread. Further research is recommended to explore these variables in more detail
Faktor dukungan keluarga terhadap kekambuhan orang dengan skizofrenia di rumah sakit jiwa Naimata, Kupang tahun 2022
Get PDFSchizophrenia is a serious mental disorder that affects around 24 million people, or 1 in 300 people worldwide. The aim of this research is to analyze emotional support, information support, instrumental support, and assessment/appreciation support for the recurrence of people with schizophrenia at the Naimata Kupang mental hospital in 2022. The type of research used is cross-sectional. Research location at Naimata Kupang mental hospital. The research sample consisted of 60 people, and the sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Data analysis uses multiple regression tests. The results showed that emotional support (p = 0.01), information support (p = 0.022), instrumental support (p = 0.028), and assessment support (p = 0.029) were related to the relapse of people with schizophrenia at Naimata Kupang mental hospital in 2022. The results of the multiple logistic regression test show that the model summary table shows that the Negelkerke R square coefficient is 0.510, meaning that the regression coefficient level of 51% is caused by the variables emotional support, schizophrenia information support, instrumental support, and assessment support, which are some of the factors causing the occurrence. patient recurrence at Naimata Kupang mental hospital. The better the emotional support, informational support, instrumental support, and assessment/appreciation support provided by the family, it will reduce the possibility of recurrence. Conversely, if family support is not good, it increases the possibility of recurrence. Family support is one of the most important things for schizophrenia patients in preventing relapse
Kolaborasi profesi/tenaga kesehatan dalam manajemen bencana meliputi fase pra bencana, siaga darurat, dan tanggap darurat
Get PDFMulti-stakeholder collaboration and coordination are part of disaster management in general. Through collaboration and coordination, the implementation of disaster management will become more effective and targeted. Collaboration and coordination can be said to be an effort to manage the resources available for use in the disaster management cycle (pre-disaster, during a disaster, and post-disaster). In public health disaster management, the involvement of professionals and health workers is important to ensure that people who are at risk or exposed to the threat of disaster have knowledge regarding factors that can disrupt health (physical and mental) or that people affected by disasters can receive health services and minimise the increase in casualties. In the context of disaster preparedness, collaboration or professional involvement of health workers is needed when preparing disaster contingency plans.Cluster coordination mechanisms can bridge actors involvement in disaster management. Health professional organisations can be involved or take part in this mechanism by considering that the membership of each organisation is an asset or resource that may be needed when a disaster occurs. Increasing the number of volunteers at the community level who have been trained regarding emergency response efforts for physical or mental health conditions can ultimately help ease the tasks of professional health workers in locations affected by disasters
Silikosis di kalangan perempuan pekerja tambang batu pasir: Studi kasus penyakit paru di tempat kerja
Get PDFExposure to fine silica dust that workers inhale while working can result in lung disease at the workplace. A related disease that can arise as a result of this exposure is silicosis. This study aims to understand the silicosis experienced by female sandstone mining workers in Budhpura Village, Rajasthan, India. The methods used are case studies and document analysis. The results show that silicosis can attack female mining workers due to a lack of health protection and weak law enforcement. The health impacts are very serious, even causing death. Pathophysiologically, silica dust that enters the lungs causes tissue damage and inflammation. To prevent this, occupational health promotion and silicosis prevention programs are needed through dust control, use of personal protective equipment, regular health checks, access to health services, as well as enforcement of regulations and protection of the rights of female workers. It is concluded that multidisciplinary cooperation and active participation by working women are needed to protect their health and rights at work
