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

The increase in the population of South Sulawesi is in line with the increasing needs of the population related to national health referral guarantee information. The problem is the unavailability of a clear geographical picture and complete information about the state and distribution of public health services. The research aims to map national health insurance health services based on the tastes and needs of the people in South Sulawesi. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data were analyzed using content analysis based on method triangulation, source triangulation, and data triangulation. The results of the study found that the mapping of health services in South Sulawesi has not run as expected so that increasing access and at the same time can be an accelerated step to achieve equity in the health referral system performance. The achievement of equity in health services and access to health services must be determined by the preference and actual needs of health services rather than merely the ability to pay or geographical location.

Abstract

Kaombo is a knowledge system of the Buton community which is believed to create harmonization of relations between humans and their environment. Kaombo as a social institution functions as an instrumentfor environmental management and preservation while preventing the adverse effects of environmental ecosystem damage. This study describes Kaombo in environmental management, the dynamics of community symbolic interpretation of Kaombo, and Kaombo’s conservation efforts in managing the coastal environment on Siompu Island. This study shows that Kaombo as a form of harmonization of community relations with its environment is manifested in the system of values, ideas, and knowledge of the people of Buton. Kaombo forms a code of conduct that binds every society to act wisely and wisely to protect the ecosystem of the environment. Although Kaombo is interpreted differently by the community, both as a system of values, norms and symbolism that contains mystical elements, kaombo is still understood as a system of knowledge that can guide behavior in living and interacting with the environment. On Siompu Island, the community maintains and preserves kaombo through strengthening traditional institutions in the form of traditional party rituals and thanksgiving.

Abstract

Introduction: Community health centers as primary health care centers are required to be able to provide quality assurance services to the community. The current problems of the Community Health Centre are the low quality of services, the lack of standardized infrastructure, and the low number of quality human resources, and high constant of patients’ complaints. The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of health services at community health centers. Material and Method: The research method is an observational study by taking data in 13 provinces in Indonesia for 3 years (2016‑2018). A total of 45 randomly selected community health centers were evaluated for 3 days per health community center using an accreditation instrument that had been prepared and established by the Indonesian Ministry of Health consisting of 9 chapters, 42 standards, 168 criteria, and 776 assessment elements. Finding and Discussion: The results showed that there were 2.2% of the community health centers which are not accredited, while the other 97.8% are accredited. The basic accreditation status was 45.5%. The status of intermediate accreditation was 40.9%. The main accreditation status was 13.6%. There was no plenary status of accreditation. Conclusion: The conclusion of the study was that there are more community health centers with basic accreditation status so management supervision, human resources, facilities and infrastructure, and innovation of the community health center still needs to be improved.

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.

Abstract

Background:Around 15 million adolescent girls aged 15-19 years old experience sexual violence. Based on data from 28 countries, 90 percent of girls in that country admitted the perpetrators of violence acts were people they knew. This literature review aimed to identify and explain empirical facts of research on sexual violence in children. It also detected the acts early and formulated the prevention of persistent depression. This study explained the influence of applying the T-CBT model on the increasing midwife competence in the service of depressed children due to sexual violence.

Material and Method:The literature sources were from online journal databases published by PubMed, Proquest, Google Scholar, and other sources like Indonesian Child Protection Commission Report, P2TP2A, Indonesian Midwives Association, and relevant theses and dissertations. The data were all documents published in the last 10 years from 2008-2019 collected manually and systematically.

Findings and Discussion:The T-CBT model was proven effective in preventing trauma and severe anxiety in victims of the child due to sexual violence. Empirical facts showed the impact of emotional reactivity and depressive symptoms such as ideas and attempted suicide, as well as emotional distress. The results of other studies also indicated a moderate relationship between psychopathology and objective characteristics of abuse, such as the number and types of violent incidents and the duration of abuse. The obstacles most often experienced by teenagers were having parents with a history of mental illness, intimidation, divorce, or separation from parents, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as child neglect and traumatic incidents.

Conclusion:The CBT model is a service strategy that strengthens behavioral skills-based interventions, information-based needs, family and parent involvement, and midwife services with a patient-therapist approach, and respects the needs of traumatized adolescents.
