Introduction: Tobacco consumption is one of the important contributing factors of non-infectious mortality in Indonesia. Factors causing young people to smoke include personality, parents, and colleagues. Medical students should have good knowledge about tobacco, an attitude that supports smoking avoidance and supports smoking cessation, and be role models for society by not smoking. The aim of this study is to determine about knowledge, attitude toward smoking habit, and smoking behavior among the medical students of Universitas Sumatera Utara. Method: This is a descriptive-analytical study with cross–sectional approach, conducted at Medical Faculty of Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) from March to December 2020. Participants are 100 medical students chosen randomly using stratified random sampling. Data are collected directly from the questionnaire in the form of Google Form sent to participants. Bivariate analysis was done using Chi-Square and Fisher’s exact test. Result: shows the prevalence of smoking is 16%. For knowledge, 75% of respondent’s knowledge about tobacco is average, 22% respondents have good knowledge, and 3% respondents have poor knowledge. Attitudes toward tobacco avoidance are positive in 63% respondents and negative in 37% respondents. Smoking behavior of 37.5% smokers is high, 31.25% average, and 31.25% low. Bivariate analysis finds significant correlation between smoking status and gender, smoking peer, and attitude. Conclusion: majority of USU medical students have average knowledge about tobacco, positive attitude toward smoking avoidance, and high smoking behavior. Significant correlation found indicates the need to raise awareness of smoking hazard and effort in ceasing smoking behavior among medical students.

Introduction: COVID-19 outbreak has caused changes around the world with many polices remade to stop the spread of this virus since it started in 2019. Indonesia with the overall highest positive cases in South-East Asia has been challenged with prolonged restriction policy issued from early 2020 until now due to continuous increase of cases. This study aims to know the mental health of Indonesia citizens during early quarantine before it changed into restriction. Method: Indonesian version DASS-21 questionnaire was used in this cross-sectional study to assess Indonesian adults aged > 25 years old using an online platform from 22nd April, 2020 to 28th May, 2020, then analyzed using T-test and one-way ANOVA. Result: All participants have no depression and stress symptoms that meet the threshold for probable depression according to the DASS-21 instrument. On the other hand, 26.3% participants showed anxiety symptom with severity classified into mild (16.0%), moderate (8.9%), and severe (0.4%). Conclusion: This study also found relationship of depression, anxiety, and stress characteristic with gender, age marital status, and income in adults during pandemic. Where in this study shows male, younger age, unmarried status, and lower income people have higher scale of depression, anxiety, and stress characteristic. This finding may help Indonesia’s government and citizens to assess the restriction to mental health of Indonesian adults for further effective policy implementation.

Introduction: Since the WHO has stated that the COVID-19 is a pandemic, education and empowerment regarding COVID-19 in youths is needed. The purpose of this study is to explain the effect of providing online education on behavior and the process of empowering the youth of the Irma Al-Kautsar Mosque regarding the COVID-19 prevention protocol. Method: A mixed method was conducted in this study. Case study design was used for qualitative method and quasi-experimental design for quantitative. Total sampling was used on the population, which was youths aged 14-18 years (N=10). The data collection and retrieval techniques are group discussions and questionnaires about behavior. Results: The study showed that the group discussion resulted in three big themes, namely related to the COVID-19 prevention and education program, the needs of youth for education about COVID-19, and effective methods of disseminating COVID-19 information for youths. It showed a change in the frequency and percentage of behavior regarding COVID-19 and the prevention of infection in youths. The paired t-test showed that the knowledge domain had a significance value p <0.05 and for the action and attitude domain was p> 0.05. Conclusions: There was a significant influence between providing education with knowledge improvement related to COVID-19 and prevention of infection among youth, while the attitudes and actions of youths were not significantly influenced by education intervention. Youth actively participated in empowerment activities for disseminating information related to COVID-19 on social media.

Introduction: During pregnancy, the need for iron increases, which triggers anemia. Anemia can be described as a decline in the hemoglobin level below a critical level. Meanwhile, based on a preliminary study, 10 out of 13 pregnant women were not obedient in taking iron tablets (76, 92%). The prevalence of anemia at Tanah Kalikedinding Community Health Center in 2015 remained high. Method: The analytical study used a cross-sectional design. The group of pregnant women in the third trimester who received Fe tablets and had their Hb levels checked at the Tanah Kalikedinding Health Center Surabaya were 54 people. The sampling technique chosen was total sampling. The instruments used were questionnaire sheets, data collection sheets, and survey software. Data analysis used the Fisher exact test. Result : Out of the 54 pregnant women, 20.4% of pregnant women were obedient to taking blood-supplement pills and experienced an increase in hemoglobin levels (63.3%), 70.6% of pregnant women were not adherent, and almost all of them had decreased their. The results of a bivariate analysis using Fisher's exact showed a significance value of p-value = 0.001 <α = 0.05 (p <α). Conclusion: This meant a correlation between adherence to consuming Fe tablets and hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. Also, a p-value of 0.001 (p <α). This means there is a correlation between iron nutritional intake and consumption of blood-supplemented tablets and hemoglobin gravida levels at Puskemas Tanah Kalikedinding, Surabaya.

Introduction: Early marriage has long been a problem in developing countries as it not only affects the health of girls but also deprives them of a childhood that they rightfully deserve. Apart from this, marital relationship in case of early marriage is also not as fruitful as compared to late marriages owing to emotional immaturity of the females. Methods: This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of early marriage and its association with marital relationship. It was a community based cross-sectional study conducted among 322 married females in field practice areas of JNU-IMRC, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Result: The study found that 53.4% of the females had married before the age of 18 years. Significant association of marital age was observed with education status, socioeconomic status, nature of employment and education status of the male partner (p<0.05). Also, choosing friends and expressing opinions to elders, as a part of autonomy and self-efficacy, respectively, were found to be associated with early marriage (p>0.05). Conclusion:The study established that early marriages are still prevalent in the country. Ongoing efforts through the existing programs in the country need to reach the right audience especially in the rural areas.

Introduction: Efforts to control population growth in Indonesia by increasing the use of contraceptives continue to be improved so that the TFR of 2.1 in 2024 can be achieved. However, in practice, there is still discontinuation of the use of contraceptive methods. One of them is the implant method. This research aims to analyze husband involvement of implant discontinuation in Indonesia. Method: This study used a cross-sectional study design. Data of this study were based on the results of IDHS 2017, with 1153 samples. This research was analyzed using Chi-square test Logistic Regression test with significance level α=0.05. Result: Characteristics of respondents, husband's employment, decision to use, consent to use, preferences of husbands for the number of children, determination of income for FP device and categories of husband involvement are not related significantly while the husband's education level and discussions about FP were significant with implant discontinuation. Variables that become risk factors for implant discontinuation are respondents who do not work, wealth index (very poor, poor, middle and rich), education level of respondents who do not attend school and academy level; husband not involved in the decision to use the FP device, does not give consent to the use the FP device; preference of husbands for the number of children is the same/more than the respondent; and husband not involved in determining the income for the FP device. Conclusion: To reduce the drop-out rate for implants, it is necessary to increase the husband's education and involvement in discussing family planning.

Introduction: The prevalence of leprosy in 2017 in Indonesia shows 6.08 / 100,000 new cases of leprosy and 86.12% of which are multi-bacillary types. Determinants of leprosy events include the condition of residence. The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between physical condition of house and sanitary facilities with the occurrence of leprosy. Methods: This study uses analytical observational research with a case-control study to analyze the relationship between the physical condition of the house and sanitary facilities and the incidence of leprosy in patients of Sumberglagah Hospital, Mojokerto. The sample size was 38, including 19 cases and 19 controls with simple random sampling. Research variables include individual characteristics, the physical conditions of the home, and sanitary facilities were analyzed using chi-square tests. Result : The results showed there was a significant relationship between physical conditions of house such as the ceiling, the type of floor, humidity, and density of the bedroom (p < α) with leprosy cases. Meanwhile, sanitary facilities do not show a significant relationship with leprosy cases. Conclusion: Efforts to prevent leprosy can be done through education to the public to maintain physical condition of the house according to prevailing requirements, especially the presence of ceilings, type of floor of the house made of materials that are easy to clean, comfortable humidity, and bedrooms not used by more than two people.

Introduction: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus that infects the body. Dengue is a common viral infection in warm tropical climates. The infection is caused by one of four closely related dengue viruses. The disease now plagues many countries and even more than 100 countries within the WHO, including Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific. The Americas, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific are the most severely affected regions, with Asia representing 70% of the global disease burden. The high incidence rate of DHF in various regions of Indonesia is the background by several factors, one of which is the density of the seaters. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between population density and larvae free index and Incidence Rate (IR) Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Blitar Regency in 2013-2017. Methods: The data were analyzed quantitatively using Spearman correlation tests to analyze relationships between variables. Result: The results of the analysis found there was no correlation between dengue fever incidence rate and larvae free index (p = 0.603 r = -0.117), and there was a correlation between the incidence rate of dengue fever and population density (p = 0.002 r = 0.619). Conclusion: High population density is a risk factor for DHF events in Blitar Regency, so there needs to be an anticipation of preventive measures such as the implementation of 3M and counseling of the impact of high population density.
登革热出血热(DHF)是一种由登革热病毒感染人体引起的疾病。登革热是温暖的热带气候中常见的病毒感染。这种感染是由四种密切相关的登革热病毒之一引起的。这种疾病现在困扰着世界卫生组织内的许多国家，甚至超过100个国家，包括非洲、美洲、东地中海、东南亚和西太平洋。美洲、东南亚和西太平洋是受影响最严重的区域，其中亚洲占全球疾病负担的70%。印度尼西亚各地区登革出血热的高发病率是由若干因素造成的，其中一个因素是患者的密度。本研究旨在分析2013-2017年布列塔县登革热出血热(DHF)发病率(IR)与种群密度、无幼虫指数的相关性。方法:采用Spearman相关检验对资料进行定量分析，分析变量间的关系。结果:分析结果发现登革热发病率与无幼虫指数无相关性(p = 0.603 r = -0.117)，登革热发病率与人口密度有相关性(p = 0.002 r = 0.619)。结论:人口密度高是布列塔县DHF事件发生的危险因素，因此需要对实施3M等预防措施进行预诊，并对人口密度高的影响进行咨询。

Dengue is a common viral infection in warm tropical climates. The infection is caused by one of four closely related dengue viruses. The disease now plagues many countries and even more than 100 countries within the WHO, including Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific. The Americas, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific are the most severely affected regions, with Asia representing 70% of the global disease burden. The high incidence rate of DHF in various regions of Indonesia is the background by several factors, one of which is the density of the seaters. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between population density and larvae free index and Incidence Rate (IR) Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Blitar Regency in 2013-2017. Methods: The data were analyzed quantitatively using Spearman correlation tests to analyze relationships between variables. Result: The results of the analysis found there was no correlation between dengue fever incidence rate and larvae free index (p = 0.603 r = -0.117), and there was a correlation between the incidence rate of dengue fever and population density (p = 0.002 r = 0.619). Conclusion: High population density is a risk factor for DHF events in Blitar Regency, so there needs to be an anticipation of preventive measures such as the implementation of 3M and counseling of the impact of high population density.","PeriodicalId":33636,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42432299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction: Industrial progress is characterized by the increasing use of machinery in factory which has a negative impact on workers' health, one of which is tinnitus symptoms. Tinnitus is a hearing loss due to exposure to noise. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of worker characteristics and intensity of work environment noise with tinnitus symptoms in gas industry workers in Sidoarjo. Methods: Based on the study design, this study used analytic research, in terms of time including cross-sectional research. Research variables include age, years of service, noise intensity and tinnitus symptoms. Data are from observation, measurement, questionnaire filling and interview. Result: The results showed that there was a relationship between noise intensity and tinnitus symptoms (p = 0.033). There was no relationship between the age of workers and tinnitus symptoms (p = 1.000). There was no significant relationship between years of work (p = 0.505) with tinnitus symptoms suffered by workers at PT. X Sidoarjo Gas Industry. There was no association between exposure pattern and complaints of tinnitus (p=0.165). Conclusion: So as to reduce the risk of tinnitus complaints the company can apply the use of ear protector for workers and install silencers that can absorb sound with high noise intensity such as glasswool, rockwool, foam, cellulose fiber and acourete fiber carpets to reduce noise.
简介：工业进步的特点是工厂越来越多地使用机器，这对工人的健康产生了负面影响，其中之一就是耳鸣症状。耳鸣是由于暴露在噪音中而导致的听力损失。本研究的目的是确定Sidoarjo天然气行业工人的工人特征和工作环境噪声强度与耳鸣症状的关系。方法：在研究设计的基础上，本研究采用分析研究法，分时间包括横断面研究。研究变量包括年龄、服务年限、噪音强度和耳鸣症状。数据来源于观察、测量、问卷填写和访谈。结果：噪声强度与耳鸣症状存在相关性（p=0.033），工人年龄与耳鸣症状无相关性（p=0.000），工作年限与PT.X Sidoarjo Gas Industry工人耳鸣症状无显著相关性（p=0.055）。暴露模式与耳鸣投诉之间没有关联（p=0.165）。结论：为了降低耳鸣投诉的风险，公司可以为工人应用护耳器，并安装可以吸收高噪声强度声音的消音器，如玻璃棉、岩棉、泡沫、纤维素纤维和缩音纤维地毯，以降低噪声。

Introduction: In Indonesia, child obesity is increasing, and children take a substantial amount of daily calorie from food consumption at school. Methods: This paper describes school food environment in Tomohon City, North Sulawesi Province. We conducted on-site observation and interview with food vendors at 20 junior high schools, describing the food environment by availability and sales of foods and beverages at schools in urban and rural areas. Rice or noodle meals and deep-fried snacks were sold in all schools. Result: The availability and sales of industrial sweets and sugar-sweetened beverages were greater in urban than rural areas, whereas those of fruits were greater in rural areas. Oily and sugary foods and beverages are widely available and consumed by students at schools in the city of Indonesia. Conclusion: Such school food environments and dietary habits should be improved in the effort of halting the increasing prevalence of child obesity.
