Abstract

Waste management is a significant public health issue in rural areas, with most residents still disposing of waste on empty land in front of or behind their homes. Although proper management practices have been widely discussed in developing countries, limited studies are using comprehensive variables based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to analyze the factors influencing community participation in Waste Bank programs. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the determinants of community participation in Waste Bank program in Paleteang District, Pinrang Regency, using TPB approach. The procedures were carried out using a quantitative survey with a cross-sectional design. Data were then collected from 396 participants using validated questionnaires, followed by analysis with Chi-Square tests and multiple linear regression. The results showed that subjective norms and perceived behavioral control significantly influenced community participation, with p-values of 0.025 and 0.005, and OR values of 4.183 and 8.250, respectively. Meanwhile, attitudes and satisfaction with local facilities had no significant influence. This showed the importance of social support and a sense of personal control in encouraging engagement. The results were expected to serve as a reference for policymakers in designing more effective and sustainable waste management programs in rural areas.

Abstract

Dengue fever is blood bone disease which is transferred through dengue virus infected Aedes mosquitos spread commonly in tropical and sub-tropical areas across the world. This research aims to describe the management of dengue fever case eradication program in Maros Regency. It uses a descriptive qualitative method in scrutinizing the issue. The research samples consist of 22 informants who are selected using the purposive sampling technique. The findings indicate that the management of the dengue fever eradication program is divided into several divisions namely agent management, media management, host management, and case management. In this case, the agent management division is responsible in identifying dengue fever patients by utilizing Active Case Detection (ACD) and Passive Case Detection (PCD) methods. Furthermore, the program manages the vector control through Abate utilization, larva monitoring agent designation, and fogging. Environmental control is carried out through the 3M program (close, drain and bury) and house yard cleaning. In addition to that, the program also encourages dengue fever patients to do self-medication by increasing their thrombocyte level and reducing their hematocrit level. Overall, many stakeholders participate in the dengue fever eradication program in Maros Regency, including the Health Department of Maros, health centers across Maros, local government, as well as community members. Finally, this research recommends the Health Department of Maros improve the quality of Abate distribution to health centers across Maros Regency

Abstract

The factors that influence delinquency in adolescents are sociological factors, psychological factors, and biological factors. Sociological factors include family background, the community where adolescents are, and the school environment. This study used a qualitative method with a case study design. The number of informants was 10 people consisting of delinquency teenagers, parents of delinquency teenagers, women, and child protection investigators, and clinical psychologists at the integrated service post for women and children protection. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews. Data analysis was performed by source triangulation. The results showed that economic difficulties made parents have to work more. Teens have a playgroup that influences them. Problems that arise from the school environment make children not want to go back to school. This study recommends the importance of the role of parents, government officials, and schools in giving attention and guidance to adolescents in order not to act wrong, both moral guidance and religious guidance.

Abstract

Background:Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) has emerged as the leading cause of death among infectious diseases globally. This is attributed to a complex interaction of factors, including host-related risk factors, infecting agents, and environmental conditions. The Southeast Asia and West Pacific regions account for 58% of all tuberculosis cases, with Indonesia reporting the second highest prevalence of tuberculosis globally (10%), following India, which accounts for 23% of global cases. Objective:This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis on small islands in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods:This research employed a case-control study design. Several explanatory variables were considered: age, gender, knowledge, nutritional status, occupant density, ventilation area, humidity levels, and type of flooring. The occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis was designated as the dependent variable. The study sample consisted of 240 respondents, with 120 cases and 120 controls, all residing on three small islands—Sembilan Island, Balang Lompo Island, and Salemo Island—all sharing similar characteristics. Results:The study identified several factors associated with an increased risk of pulmonary tuberculosis. These factors included gender (OR = 1.71, 95% CI 0.61-4.77), knowledge (OR = 3.143, 95% CI 1.06-9.26), occupant density (OR = 1.52, 95% CI 0.42-5.47), area of ventilation (OR = 6.00, 95% CI 1.17-30.72), humidity (OR = 3.763, 95% CI 1.03-13.64), and type of floor (OR = 1.144, 95% CI 0.41-3.16). In contrast, age and nutritional status were not identified as risk factors for pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion:Environmental factors such as occupant density, area of ventilation, humidity, and type of floor were found to be significant risk factors for the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in small islands of South Sulawesi. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions addressing these modifiable environmental conditions to reduce the burden of tuberculosis.

Abstract

Agriculture is one of the most common jobs in the informal sector as a source of livelihood to support the lives of people in Indonesia. However, the behaviour of workers in this industry is still far from good towards risk management and optimal management. One of the health problems that farmers often experience is the problem of irritant contact dermatitis. Irritant contact dermatitis is also an occupational disease in the agricultural sector. Personal hygiene, such as proper hand washing with soap and running water, is one of the factors that has a major impact on the incidence of contact dermatitis. The purpose of this study was to determine the variables that influence the incidence of irritant contact dermatitis in farmers in Pallantikang Village, Jenneponto District. This research is a quantitative research with cross sectional study design. This research was conducted in Pallantikang Village, Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The total sample size was 384 farmers. Farmers aged >45 years had a 1.7 times higher risk of dermatitis than farmers aged 12-45 years. Farmers who have been working for more than 5 years are at 1.5 times the risk of dermatitis than farmers who have been working for 0-5 years. Farmers who did not use PPE had a 1.7 times risk of suffering from dermatitis than farmers who used PPE such as masks. It is expected that health workers at the local health centre provide counselling to farmers regarding the toxic hazards that exist in the pesticides used by farmers and the prevention that can be done to minimise their impact such as the use of PPE so that dermatitis symptoms can be avoided.

Abstract

Previous studies have highlighted a persistent high prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls in rural areas, often attributed to inadequate nutritional intake and limited access to health interventions, yet few have rigorously evaluated targeted supplementation programs in this context. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the iron supplementation program (Tablet Tambah Darah/TTD) in increasing hemoglobin levels and reducing anemia prevalence among adolescent girls in the Somba Opu health center area, Gowa. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-posttest approach was employed, involving adolescent girls aged 12–18 years. The intervention consisted of routine iron supplementation and education on healthy dietary and lifestyle practices. The results demonstrated a substantial decrease in anemia prevalence: among junior high school students, anemia rates declined from 48.10% in 2023 to 26.50% in 2024, and among senior high school students, from 41.60% to 26.10% over the same period. These findings indicate that the TTD program significantly contributed to improved hemoglobin levels and reduced anemia rates in the target population. The implications underscore the importance of structured supplementation and health education programs for adolescent girls in rural settings to address nutritional deficiencies and promote overall well-being.
