Determinants of Food Management Behavior on Food Waste Reduction and Household Food Security through Expenditure Efficiency and Energy Consumption
Full text linkFood Waste (FW) in urban households remains a serious issue as it contributes to economic losses, reduced dietary quality, and weakened food security. This study aims to identify the dominant factors influencing food management behavior, FW generation, and their implications for household food security in urban settings. A cross-sectional design was applied with urban households as the study population, and samples were selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) within the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Nudge Theory. The results indicate that attitude (β = 0.42; p < 0.01), subjective norm (β = 0.31; p < 0.05), and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.36; p < 0.01) significantly influence intention toward food management. Furthermore, intention strongly predicts actual food management behavior (β = 0.55; p < 0.001), which subsequently reduces FW (β = –0.47; p < 0.001). Reduced FW positively affects both food expenditure efficiency (β = 0.39; p < 0.01) and energy intake adequacy (β = 0.34; p < 0.05), two critical indicators of urban household food security. Behavioral factors play a crucial role in reducing FW and strengthening food security in urban households. Therefore, behavior-based interventions using TPB and Nudge Theory are recommended to be integrated into food education programs, household assistance, and urban food security policies to ensure effectiveness and sustainability
The Dark Side of Medical Staff: How Dark Traits Lead to Work Burnout
Full text linkThe dark side of personality has begun to be studied extensively in the fields of social, personality, and organizational psychology in recent years but little is known about which of the Dark Triad traits is more malevolent in organizational context. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effects of dark triad traits on counterproductive work behavior along with the mediating role of burnout. A cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from 208 permanent employees of medical hospitals. A personality-based research model was proposed to test the hypothesis. The questionnaire consisted of a dark triad scale, a counterproductive work behavior scale, and a burnout scale. Different statistical techniques, i.e., correlation, and regression were applied to test the direct effects, and the PROCESS-macro method was applied to test indirect effects (mediation). The findings of the study revealed that dark triad traits and counterproductive work behaviors are significantly correlated (p<0.05). Narcissism is a significant predictor of counterproductive work behavior as compared to Machiavellianism and psychopaths (R2= 0.23). Furthermore, findings reveal that emotional exhaustion significantly mediates the relationship between dark triad and counterproductive work behavior (R2 = 0.66). Policymakers and higher management of public sector institutions especially focus on psychological health and organizational climate to reduce the workplace’s harmful behaviors. Finally, this study theoretically enhances knowledge of personality psychology literature by explaining the negative consequences of negative personalities in the workplace

Risk Analysis of Pesticide Exposure Associated with Reduced Cholinesterase Levels in Indonesian Farm Workers: A Meta-Analysis
Full text linkPesticide exposure remains a major occupational health problem, with the World Health Organization (WHO) reporting between 1 and 5 million cases of pesticide poisoning annually among agricultural workers. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with pesticide poisoning by conducting a meta-analysis of published research. The meta-analysis was performed in four stages: data abstraction, statistical analysis using JASP Version 0.18.3, heterogeneity testing, and publication bias assessment. The random-effects model was applied to the variables of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use and length of work, as the heterogeneity test indicated significant variation between studies (p = 0.001). In contrast, the fixed-effects model was used for individual hygiene (p = 0.006). Egger’s test showed no indication of publication bias for PPE use (p = 0.356) and length of work (p = 0.395). The results revealed that PPE use increased the risk of decreased cholinesterase levels by 1.584 times, poor individual hygiene by 1.954 times, and working more than 5 hours by 1.665 times. In conclusion, individual hygiene was identified as the most significant risk factor. Farmers who neglect personal hygiene practices, such as bathing after spraying or changing clothes immediately, face a substantially greater risk of reduced cholinesterase levels due to pesticide poisoning
Understanding Cardiovascular Risk: Insights From Coastal Communities in Southeast Sulawesi
Full text linkCardiovascular Disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide, with a greater impact on low- and middle-income countries, particularly coastal communities that depend on fragile ecosystems. This study explores the effects of sociodemographic, behavioral, and metabolic factors on CVD incidence among the coastal population of Soropia, Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi. This research employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and applies Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Smart PLS software. Data collection was conducted through standardized questionnaires and physical examinations. The findings reveal that age significantly reduces CVD risk (p = 0.043, Exp(B) = 0.378), while gender and occupation show no significant impact. Among behavioral factors, a history of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) significantly lowers CVD risk (p = 0.024, Exp(B) = 0.158), whereas smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity are not associated with CVD Risk. In the metabolic group, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is the only significant factor influencing metabolic risk (p = 0.026, Exp(B) = 0.615). Other metabolic markers, including waist circumference and blood glucose, show weak associations. These results highlight the critical role of addressing behavioral and metabolic risk factors in reducing CVD burden, particularly through targeted public health interventions tailored to the unique challenges faced by coastal populations. The study underscores the importance of integrating behavioral modifications and metabolic risk management in health programs to mitigate CVD risks effectively
Adaptation of Moringa Leaf Extract on Hemoglobin and Arm Circumference in Adolescent Girls Semarang
Full text linkAdolescent malnutrition, particularly anemia, remains a major public health challenge in developing countries, including Indonesia, as it increases the risk of growth retardation, developmental disorders, poor pregnancy outcomes, and infectious diseases. Nutritional interventions during adolescence are crutial for improving health and breaking the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition. This study aimed to analyze the effect of Moringa oleifera capsules on hemoglobin (Hb) levels and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) among adolescent girls in Semarang. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design was conducted in two junior high schools in Semarang (SMPN 39 and SMPN 8), involving 102 female students aged 13–15 years, who were selected using purposive sampling. Participants were assigned to an intervention group (n = 51) receiving 300 mg of Moringa oleifera capsules twice weekly for 6 months under teacher supervision, and a control group (n = 51) receiving no supplementation. Data were collected at baseline and after the intervention, including Hb measurement (Hemocue analyzer) and MUAC. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. Results showed a significant improvement in Hb levels in the intervention group (mean pretest 11.58±0.87 g/dL; posttest 13.65±0.89 g/dL; p<0.001), whereas no significant change was found in the control group (p = 0.132). MUAC also increased significantly in the intervention group (pretest 25.50±4.06 cm; posttest 26.21±4.94 cm; p = 0.002), with a greater improvement compared to the control group (p = 0.002). In conclusion, supplementation with Moringa oleifera effectively improved Hb levels and MUAC among adolescent girls. This intervention has potential as a practical and affordable strategy for preventing anemia and improving nutritional status in adolescents
Understanding the Impact of Pictorial Health Warnings on Smoking Behavior Among Adolescents
Full text linkSmoking behavior remains a health challenge in Indonesian society. Riskesdas data shows an increase in smoking prevalence in adolescent groups. One of the control efforts is the implementation of PHW (Pictorial Health Warnings) on cigarette packs in accordance with Permenkes RI No. 28 of 2013. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of cigarette packs in influencing smoking intention and behavior PHW among adolescents in Tanah Bumbu Regency, Banjarbaru City and Banjarmasin City. The study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. Samples were obtained through an accidental sampling technique, obtaining 315 smoking adolescents and 62 non-smoking adolescents. The instrument was a modified version of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey questionnaire. The analysis used was a linear regression test. The results further showed that 64.5% of respondents who did not smoke stated that their intention was very likely due to fear (89.03%) after seeing the warning and the image of smoking causing lung cancer, hence they did not smoke. Furthermore, there is a relationship between pictorial warnings on cigarette packaging with fear (p-value = 0.0001, r = 0.430) with a positive influence of 16.3%. In adolescent smokers, smoking pictures causing throat cancer 2 caused the most fear (71.3%) and the highest urge to quit smoking (66.48%). There is a relationship between pictorial warnings with fear (p-value = 0.0001, r = 0.195) and smoking cessation intensity (p-value = 0.0001, r = 0.728). The positive effect on fear was 3.5% and smoking cessation intensity was 52.9%
The Effect of Pesticide Exposure on Metabolic Syndrome: An Epidemiological Analysis in an Agricultural Population
Full text linkMetabolic syndrome, characterised by hyperglycaemia, dyslipi-daemia, hypertension, and central obesity, is a global health problem, and exposure to pesticides is an important risk factor for agricultural workers. This study aims to analyse the effects of pesticide exposure, sociodemographic factors, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage behaviour on glucose levels, HDL, and LDL in farmers in Kubu Raya District, West Kalimantan. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 farmers selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews, fasting blood tests, and analysed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 95%. The results showed a high prevalence of high blood glucose (56.7%), low HDL (35.0%), and high LDL (55.0%). Pesticide exposure was significantly associated with glucose levels (p=0.043), with hypergly-caemia being higher in the high-exposure group (70.8%) compared to the low-exposure group (33.3%). Age was also significant for glucose (p = 0.046), with a higher prevalence in the ≥40 years group (65.8%) compared to the 40 years group (40.9%). The use of PPE showed a significant association with all metabolic parameters: higher glucose levels were more common in the non-routine PPE use group (70.6% vs. 38.5%; p = 0.012), lower HDL levels were higher in the non-routine group (44.1% vs. 23.1%; p=0.043), and higher LDL levels were more common in the non-routine group (64.7% vs. 42.3%; p = 0.046). These findings confirm that pesticide exposure, age, and APD usage behaviour contribute to metabolic disorders among farmers. Occupational health interventions emphasizing APD use, routine metabolic screening, and community-based education are needed to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome in the agricultural population
Lifestyle Activities That Contribute to The Risk of Stroke in Indonesia: Smoking, Consuming Fatty Foods and Soft Drinks
Full text linkStroke is the leading cause of death and disability in Indonesia, with a high prevalence reported in the Indonesian Health Survey (IHS) 2023. Smoking, consumption of fatty foods, and intake of soft drinks are major risk factors contributing to the increasing incidence of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. This study aims to analyze the effects of smoking habits, fatty food consump-tion, and soft drink intake on stroke incidence in Indonesia using secondary data from IHS 2023. A quantitative design was applied, with chi-square test analysis performed using SPSS. The study population comprised all individuals recorded in the IHS 2023, which covered 38 provinces in Indonesia. Results showed that the age group 65–74 years had the highest incidence of stroke (35.4%), with a higher prevalence among men (8.8%) compared to women (7.9%). Education level and type of occupation were also associated with stroke prevalence. Statistical analysis demonstrated that smoking (p = 0.013), fatty food consumption (p = 0.003), and soft drink intake (p = 0.002) were significantly associated with stroke incidence. Among these, soft drink con-sumption was the strongest predictor (p = 0.001; OR = 3.717). In conclusion, smoking, fatty food consumption, and soft drink intake significantly affect stroke incidence in Indonesia, with soft drink consumption being the most influential factor
Multivariate Analysis of Risk Factors for Destructive Behavior in Children in Indonesia
Full text linkConduct disorders pose a significant global burden, affecting an estimated 5.75 million children and adolescents, especially boys. Conduct disorders involve repetitive behaviors that violate others rights and can jeopardize normal relationships between children and those around them. Major behavioral issues in children often occur in both school and family settings and are closely linked to the roles of parents and teachers as educators and guides. Additionally, children at a young age are highly curious and eager to explore new things; the rapid growth of technology introduces new challenges for them. Without parental guidance, considering factors such as parenting styles, education level, socioeconomic status, and occupation, children\u27s social lives may be significantly impacted. This study aims to analyze various risk factors associated with disruptive behavior among children in Indonesia. This cross-sectional study used a guided questionnaire involving 301 parents/guardians of children aged 2-5 years. In this regard, the researchers were assisted by data enumerators residing at the study site. Data collection was conducted in two regions in Indonesia, Greater Jabodetabek (Jabodetabek) and Aceh, from October 2024 to January 2025. Bivariate analyses were performed using the Chi-square test, followed by binary logistic regression to determine factors independently associated with disruptive behavior. Bivariate analysis indicated that type of content (p = 0.017), screen time allocation (p = 0.018), and parenting pattern (p = 0.043) were significantly associated with disruptive behavior, while other variables such as parental education, domicile, occupation, marital status, and child’s age or gender showed no significant relationships. In the multivariate model, only type of content remained a significant predictor (p = 0.018). The study highlights that the quality of media content, rather than the amount of screen time, plays a key role in the emergence of disruptive behavior among children. Parental guidance and the selection of educational media content are essential preventive strategies. Interventions focusing on digital literacy and positive parenting may help mitigate the risk of behavioral problems in early childhood
