Background: Vaccines are an important tool in preventing serious infectious diseases. Cold chain management is essential to maintain vaccine quality, including storage, transportation, and distribution at appropriate temperatures. This study aims to investigate the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and motivation of health workers responsible for cold chain management of the COVID-19 vaccine. Method: This was a systematic literature review study by searching through databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and Frontiers, using some keywords. 76 relevant previous studies were found. After filtering for publication year (post-2019), they reviewed 19 articles' abstracts. However, 10 articles lacked information on vaccine officers' knowledge, attitudes, and motivation in cold chain management. Thus, only 9 articles were included in the review. Results: The results show that adequate knowledge, training, and understanding of guidelines significantly influence desired vaccine cold chain management practices. These studies also highlight the importance of understanding guidelines, efficient implementation, and sustainability aspects in vaccine management. Conclusion: This research concludes that to increase the effectiveness of vaccination programs, efforts are needed to increase knowledge, training, and implementation of guidelines among health workers responsible for the vaccine cold chain. Efforts to understand and implement sustainable practices are also crucial. The conclusions from this research can help decision-makers improve vaccine cold chain management to ensure the success of the vaccination program.

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) during the COVID-19 pandemic affects the nutritional status of pregnant women. CED is indicated by the size of LiLA < 23.5 cm. This study aims to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women with chronic energy deficiency. Method: The study used a systematic review of relevant articles from databases (Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar) using keywords in Indonesian and English. Nine articles were selected based on the following inclusion criteria: publication from 2017 to 2021, discussing food consumption habits in pregnant women, articles in English or Indonesian, full text, open access, and scientific journals. Results: The results of this study can evaluate the consumption habits of pregnant women CED caused by inadequate food intake and less diverse food. Less food consumption habits in pregnant women are caused by low family income, human resources, education, and lack of family support to consume nutritional food. Conclusion: The study concludes that adequate food intake and good human resource consumption habits can affect pregnant women's nutritional status.

Background: Maintaining food safety is very important to reduce the incidence of foodborne diseases. Previous studies have shown that food safety is related to the healthy behavior of food handlers, while healthy behavior is related to their beliefs and perceptions. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a theory with a concept of individual reasons for carrying out healthy behaviors based on the perception of disease threats and efforts to improve behavior when facing threats. This study aims to predict and analyze the effect of variables based on the HBM construct on food safety behavior. Method: A total of 80 food handlers from all seafood stalls on the Bantul coast were interviewed face to face using a printed questionnaire regarding seriousness, vulnerability, benefits, barriers, a stimulus to action, and self-efficacy. The food safety behavior of food handlers was observed using observation sheets. Data were evaluated using Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) Version 3.0. Results: HBM can predict 35.1% of food handlers' food safety behavior variance in the Bantul beach tourism culinary area (R2 adjusted = 0.351). Of all the HBM construct variables analyzed, two variables had a significant effect, namely the stimulus-to-act variable with a path coefficient value (β = 0.305, p = 0.009 <0.05) and the seriousness variable (β = 0.302, p = 0.045 <0.05). Conclusion: HBM succeeded in predicting the food safety behavior of food handlers in tourist culinary delights in Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The stimulus-to-action variable was the strongest predictor positively affecting food handlers' food safety behavior, followed by the seriousness variable.
背景:维护食品安全对减少食源性疾病的发生具有重要意义。以往的研究表明，食品安全与食品处理者的健康行为有关，而健康行为与他们的信念和观念有关。健康信念模型(Health Belief Model, HBM)是一种基于对疾病威胁的感知和在面临威胁时努力改善行为的基础上进行健康行为的个人原因概念的理论。本研究旨在预测和分析基于HBM结构的变量对食品安全行为的影响。方法:对来自Bantul海岸所有海鲜摊位的80名食品处理人员进行面对面访谈，使用印刷问卷调查严重性，脆弱性，利益，障碍，行动刺激和自我效能。采用观察单对食品操作人员的食品安全行为进行观察。使用结构方程模型-偏最小二乘法(SEM-PLS) 3.0版对数据进行评估。结果:HBM能预测班图尔海滩旅游烹饪区食品处理人员食品安全行为变异的35.1%(调整后R2 = 0.351)。在所有HBM结构变量中，有两个变量具有显著影响，即路径系数值为刺激-行动变量(β = 0.305, p = 0.009 <0.05)和严重性变量(β = 0.302, p = 0.045 <0.05)。结论:HBM成功地预测了印度尼西亚日惹市班图尔市旅游美食食品处理人员的食品安全行为。刺激-行动变量是正向影响食品加工人员食品安全行为的最强预测因子，其次是严重性变量。

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has spread worldwide. Many people need to be made aware of the risks of COVID-19 transmission and the advantages of implementing the 5M health protocol. People's disobedience is a daily occurrence that is accepted in the environment. This noncompliance has accelerated the spread of the virus, increasing the number of positive citizens and the death toll. This research aims to calculate the main health issues that should be prioritized. Method: This community diagnosis used the Hanlon method, which employed a descriptive study design with a quantitative approach. The total sampling technique was used to determine the sample size of 78 people. Results: The issue in RT 07 Kampung Tengari, Praya City, is that many people still need to be more compliant in implementing the 5M COVID-19 prevention strategy. Conclusion: Implementing the 5M strategy within society is currently at a moderate level and requires further education or counseling to enhance compliance.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presently affects 537 million adults globally. It has a high prevalence in the Saudi population (31.6%), ranking 2nd highest in the Middle East and 7th worldwide. T2DM is characterized by insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, causing the glycation of hemoglobin, plasma proteins, tissue proteins, and their receptors. The high insulinemic state leads to dyslipidemia. These biochemical alterations can cause complications like atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, angina, myocardial infarctions, and hypertension. Considering the high prevalence of diabetes in the Saudi population and the lack of studies conducted at primary health care (PHC) centers in Saudi Arabia, this study was done to investigate the status of diabetes control in T2DM patients and propose appropriate measures to prevent the development of future complications. Method: This cross-sectional study recruited 191 known T2DM patients presenting at the PHC center in the Al Qabil locality of Aseer province of Saudi Arabia. The patient's demographic and glycemic and lipid profile data were recorded and statistically analyzed. Results: T2DM was more prevalent in males. T2DM patients were found to be obese, and 52% had coexisting hypertension. Patients had deranged glycemic profiles and dyslipidemia despite taking hypoglycemic agents. Hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia were significantly higher in people with diabetes having HbA1c > 7. HbA1c is correlated with dyslipidemia, and dyslipidemia is linked considerably with obesity. Conclusion: T2DM patients must be regularly followed up to ensure drug compliance, explained about foreseen medical complications, and motivated to adopt lifestyle modification measures to control their weight, BP, and blood glucose.

Background: Health education materials are intended to percolate certain messages to the general population in order to influence their knowledge and attitude toward health issues. The current study aims to determine the effectiveness of health education materials in terms of visibility, attractiveness, and clarity of message perceived by the study participants. Method: A cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted in the immunization clinic of a tertiary care hospital in West Bengal, India, upon 32 caregivers accompanying the children for immunization. Their explanation of the posters was recorded, transcribed, and translated into English. Results were obtained by analyzing data in both MS Excel and Visual Anthropac. Results: Out of 20 displayed posters, 12 were mostly situated around the vaccination table and had a pictorial presentation with child images. Those posters were first noticed by the participants while waiting. After the pile sorting of 10 attractive posters, four were related to child health, four were about nutrition and breastfeeding, and 2 were included under the personal hygiene group. Only a single poster associated with Vitamin A oil was fully understood by all respondents. A total of 6 posters were fully or partially understood by more than 80% of the respondents, whereas 3 posters related to personal hygiene were wrongly interpreted. Conclusion: The health education materials in the immunization clinic may be planned in clear pictorial presentation with less text, so those could be noticed easily and accompanied with audiovisual aids for understanding correctly.
