Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still a public health problem in the world, including Indonesia. This study aims to determine the relationship of ecological, epidemiological factors with the endemicity status of DHF in Makassar City in 2013. This study used a cross-sectional study design. A sample of 14 subdistricts in Makassar City, South Sulawesi Province, was categorized based on the endemicity status of DHF. Sampling using exhaustive sampling. Data collection is done through secondary data analysis, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Mann Whitney test. The results showed that the ecological factors associated with the endemicity status of DHF in Makassar City were population density (p 0.05). Therefore, more attention needs to be paid to districts with high population densities and the need to establish trends in the spread of dengue cases based on ecological factors to determine areas prone to dengue fever and their treatment priorities.

Abstract

Background: The Central Sulawesi region is one of the areas prone to earthquakes and tsunamis in Indonesia. The low level of knowledge of the community, especially children who are the age most vulnerable to the risk of victims in a disaster. The vulnerability of children to disasters is triggered by a limited understanding of the risks around them, which results in the absence of preparedness in the face of disasters. This study aims to know the influences of disaster counseling with animation video on preparedness students in elementary school in sigi district. Methods: This research used a quasi-experimental with the pretest-posttest design. 40 respondents, grade IV and V student, were determined by the total quota sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaires and observation sheets. Data analysis using t-dependent and will be presented in tabular form. Results: Shows that the average value of respondents’ knowledge before video playback (pre-test) is 83.12. Meanwhile, the average value after playing the video (post test) is equal to 92.62. This shows that an increase in the average value of respondents after the video playback. The results of the t-dependent test showed that the animation video method had a significant influence on improving preparedness (p = 0,000). Conclusion: Shows that counseling with animation video method can have a greater influence on the increase in preparedness

Abstract

First stage or first stage of opening takes place from zero opening (0 cm) to complete opening (10 cm). First stage for primigravida lasts 12 hours, while multigravida lasts for 8 hours. Based on the Friedman curve, calculated opening for primigravida 1 cm/hour and opening for multigravida 2 cm/hour. Efforts to determine the speed of labor for the first time were given a breathing ball technique. The purpose of this research is to know the effect of breathing ball on the duration of the first phase of active labor in PMB Sriwati.

This type of research is a pre-experimental study with the one-shot case study. The total sample is 30 respondents, 15 primigravida respondents, and 15 multigravida respondents. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The intervention was given during the first stage of labor during the active phase for 32 minutes, every 32 minutes there were 4 stages of breathing ball, the duration of the duration was 8 minutes, each mother could rest whenever she wanted.

The results of the analysis of the breathing ball technique on the duration of labor in the first phase of labor in the active phase of the p-value of 0,000 <0.05.

The conclusion was that there was a significant influence on the breathing ball technique on the length of labor in the active phase I in the Sriwati Independent Practice Midwife. For midwives, especially in the Independent Practice of Midwife Sriwati to train pregnant women from an early age in performing breathing ball techniques by doing exercises in classes of pregnant women every 2x in a week, and this research can be developed with pain variables in the first phase of active mothers.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine women’s reactions to violence, and reproductive health problems as a result of violence, during the pregnancy-puerperal period. The study was conducted in two villages of central Sulawesi: Sunju Village in Sigi Biromaru Regency and Tanjung Batu Town in Donggala Regency. The main population of interest was married women of childbearing age who were pregnant, in the puerperal period, had been pregnant, had given birth a maximum of 2 years previously, or who had experienced violence in the past. The data collection was completed through structured interviews, in-depth interviews, observations, and a Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results showed that women who are victims of violence generally go to traditional midwives for childbirth, while women in town in general go to rural midwives. The typical response of wives to reproductive health problems is silence, and this is the first choice of reaction for victims of violence in villages and cities. However, if the violence is considered to endanger the health and safety of their lives, women in the village generally report the violence to a customs agency called “Pabisara Ada”, while women in town choose to fight or avoid it, rather than to report their husband’s actions.

Abstract

Age of First Marriage is the age at which a person is legally and biologically married for the first time. According to UNICEF, the percentage of women who decide to get child marriage in the world throughout 2016 is 12 million. Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific are the highest in the number of child marriage. In Southeast Asia, Indonesia ranks second highest for child marriage. The purpose of the study was to determine the factors associated with the age of first marriage in young women in West Marawola Sub-District. This research was categorized as quantitative research with cross-sectional approach. The population was young women aged 10-24 in the West Marawola Sub-District with a percentage of 988 people taken as the sample (Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling). The analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analysis at a confidence level of 95% (). The chi-square test results showed that Knowledge (=0,001), Parental Support (=0,000), Culture (=0,040), and Family Planning Instructor (=0,037) are related to the Age of First Marriage. It is expected that this research is able to socialize the age of marriage, so that young women can delay their marriage.

Abstract

Introduction:Poor hospital building environment quality is due to presence of potential sources of airborne microbial and may lead to HAIs (Hospital Acquired Infections). The research aimed to find out the relationship between the Bacillus sp. and Enterobacter sp. in the air with HAIs incident potential.

Material and Method:This research was conducted in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital. This was an analytic observational research with the cross-sectional study design. Samples taken were human samples based on the criteria of the research as many as 61 patients, and the environmental samples were as many as 8 ICU rooms. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test.

Findings and Discussion:The research result indicates that the air quality related to the microbial pollution in the air in intensive care unit room does not qualify. The result of the microorganism culture and identification is found the HAIs causing bacteria namely Bacillus sp. and Enterobacter sp. Based on the statistic test, the value of p=0.014 (95% confidence intervals) is obtained, so there is the relationship between Bacillus sp. with HAIs incident potential. The Enterobacter sp. bacterium indicates the value of p=0.437 (95% confidence intervals), so there is not have the relationship between the Enterobacter sp. bacterium with HAIs incident potential.

Conclusion:Bacillus in the air has the potential to cause HAIs in the ICU. Aspects of hygiene and sanitation appeared to be important factor in maintaining low microbial load in the air and further research is needed related to fungi and viruses in the air because of the potential source of HAIs.
