The high maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia has made the government make efforts to reduce maternal mortality (MMR) as a priority program in health development. In general, there was a decrease in maternal mortality during the period 1991-2015 from 390 to 305 per 100,000 live births. The maternal and child health program is a priority of the Ministry of Health and the success of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) program is a key indicator of the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) 2005-2025. This research is quantitative research in the nature of an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study is all pregnant women in Bandung City in 2022 as many as 398 pregnant women. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling which is a sampling technique based on “research” (judgment) Pregnant women who received satisfaction in access to antenatal care services amounted to 58.7% with a frequency distribution of 226 respondents. Meanwhile, pregnant women who lack access to antenatal care services amounted to 41.3 with a frequency distribution of 156.

Background: The elderly group tends to experience health problems caused by decreased body functions due to the aging process. So it is more susceptible to suffer from hypertension. Purpose: This study aims to determine the influence of characteristics on the incidence of hypertension in the elderly Method: The method used is quantitative with Cross Sectional design. The population of this study is a productive age community, which is between 15-60 years. The sample was taken in a simple random manner with a sample of 245 respondents. Data collection using questionnaires. The statistical test used is the chi square test Results: The results of this study showed a significant influence between the age of hypertension (p = 0.000). There is a significant influence between the history of hypertension and the incidence of hypertension (0.015). Gender was not a risk factor for hypertension (p = 1,000). Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that people aged 60-74 are 4.2 times more likely to suffer from hypertension. People who have a history of hypertension are 1.9 times more likely to suffer from hypertension. While the sex variable could not be proven in this study. So it is necessary to educate people over 60 years old and have a history of hypertension to pay more attention to lifestyle and routinely check blood pressure.

Backgroundnd: Health Care Associated Infections (HAIs) including COVID-19 are an ongoing challenge to the safety of patients and health workers as well as the quality of health services that require attention and ongoing efforts to prevent the risk of transmission. Radiographers who perform dental radiographic examinations are at high risk of spreading COVID-19 because of the examination requires close contact with patients and the risk of spreading droplets or aerosols. This research was conducted with the aim of studying and analyzing the relationship between the radiographer’s level of knowledge about COVID-19 and the preventive behavior of its transmission in dental radiographic examinations. Methods: The research was conducted by collecting data using an online questionnaire via Google Forms that distributed to 99 radiographers in East Java. Data analysis was carried out using Spearman’s Rank Correlation to find out the correlation between radiographers’ level of knowledge about COVID-19 and preventive behavior towards its transmission in dental radiographic examinations. Results: Radiographers’ level of knowledge about COVID-19 showed 54% good, 42% moderate, and 4% less. Radiographers’ preventive behavior towards the transmission of COVID-19 in dental radiology installations showed 67% good, 30% moderate, and 3% less. Spearman’s Rank Correlation showed weak correlation between the level of knowledge and preventive behavior with the value of sig. (2-tailed) was 0,032 and correlation coefficient was 0,215(+). Conclusions: The level of knowledge of radiographers in East Java about COVID-19 has significant correlation with the preventive behavior of its transmission in dental radiographic examinations with a very weak strength and unidirectional correlation.

According to UNICEF, stunting is defined as the percentage of children aged 0-59 months with a height below minus (moderate and severe stunting) and minus three (chronic stunting) measured by WHO child growth standards. Stunting in toddlers manifests chronic nutritional deficiencies both during pregnancy and during the birth process. This research aims to analyze the determinants of stunting in children under five regarding parenting patterns, access to health services, nutritious food, and clean water and sanitation in the Bukal District Health Center Area, Buol Regency. The research was conducted in the Bukal Community Health Center Working Area, Buol Regency. The sample in this study was the entire population of 322 mothers of toddlers in the Bukal District Health Center Area, Buo Regency. This research was an analytical survey research with a cross-sectional design. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that: There is a relationship between parenting pattern factors and the incidence of stunting in children under five in the Puskesmas area, Bukal District, Buol Regency with a p-value = 0.000, ,There is a relationship between the factor of access to health services and the incidence of stunting. In children under five in the Puskesmas area, Bukal District, Buol Regency with a p-value = 0.000, , There is a relationship between the factor of access to nutritious food and the incidence of stunting in children under five in the Puskesmas area, Bukal District, Buol Regency with a p-value = 0.000, There is a relationship between access to clean water and sanitation and the incidence of stunting with a p-value = 0.000. This study concludes that health services are the most related factor, with a significant value of 0.004 and a Wald value of 8.310, meaning that access to health services has a risk of 8,310 times the risk of stunting.

Background: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in Indonesia in 2020 based on diagnoses made by health workers is 11.9% and based on diagnosis or symptoms is 24.7%. The results of a preliminary study of 5 workers using a Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire showed that 100% of workers experienced MSDs complaints. The purpose of this study was to determine various factors associated with complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among workers in the production division of PT. X in Bandung City. Methods: This study is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. There were 64 workers selected as sample, using a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument utilized a Nordic body map questionnaire. Chi-square was used as a bivariate test. Results: There is a relationship between age and MSDs complaints (p-value = 0.000), years of service (p-value = 0.000), and work posture (p-value = 0.042). There is no relationship between smoking habits (p-value = 0.157), and body mass index (p-value =0.169) with complaints of MSDs. Conclusion: This study concluded that there is a relationship between age, years of service, and work posture with complaints of MSDs. There is no relationship between smoking habits and body mass index with MSDs complaints. Preventive measures should be promoted among the factors workers to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Hence, workers should be given time to stretch for ± 5 minutes at rest to relax the muscles again.

Background: Dental caries is still a priority issue in children’s health. The high prevalence of caries in children is partly due to the lack of maternal behavior in maintaining oral health, as well as a child’s diet. This study aims to analyze the relationship between mother and child behavior in maintaining dental health with the incidence of caries in children. Methods: This type of research is analytically observational with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 73 children aged 3-5 years and the respondents were the mothers of the sample. Sampling used a proportioned stratified random sampling technique. Collecting data using observation sheets and questionnaires. Univariate and bivariate data analysis (Rank Spearman). Results: The results showed that 75.3% of mothers had good knowledge, 100% of mothers had a supportive attitude, 68.5% of mothers had good actions, 93.2% of children had cariogenic food consumption habits, and 58.9% of children had caries in the very high category. There is no relationship between maternal knowledge (p-value 0.942 > 0.05) and maternal attitude with caries incidence (p-value 0.816 > 0.05), there is a relationship between maternal actions (p-value 0.000 <0.05) and children’s habits of consuming cariogenic foods with caries incidence (p-value 0.004 <0.05). Conclusion: Maternal knowledge and attitude in maintaining dental health have no relationship with the incidence of caries in children, while maternal actions and children’s habits of consuming cariogenic food are related to the incidence of caries in children.

Background: With a worldwide prevalence and high endemicity in Nigeria, the burden of HBV infection is of public health concern. Primary prevention through vaccination is the mainstay of control. Healthcare workers and trainees are posed with a risk of exposure. This study was conducted to determine the level of awareness and vaccine uptake among healthcare students in Nnewi, Nigeria. Methodology: A cross-sectional study by convenience sampling method between February-March 2018. The data was obtained using self-administered questionnaires with 261 respondents. Analysis was done using SPSS version 20. χ2 test of independence was determined with p-value set at 5%. Result: 92.7% of respondents were aware of HBV, 47% knew it was common, and 80.8% believed it was vaccine-preventable. 23.4% had a prior vaccination and 4.6% had at least 3 doses. 34.4% of those unvaccinated did not know of vaccination, and 24.4% lacked interest, 20.6% was due to busy schedule, and 19.4% due to cost. Vaccine uptake was significantly associated with study year but not with the study department. Conclusion: There was a good level of awareness of HBV vaccination but without a corresponding level of vaccine uptake due to hindrances such as schedule, cost, and disinterest.Vaccination prevention strategies for HBV should include healthcare trainees by policy to improve vaccination coverage and increase control of infection as they are at potential risk of exposure hazards in the course of their training and subsequent healthcare careers.

Background: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common childhood illness caused by enteroviruses. Increasingly, the disease has a substantial burden throughout Vietnam. To better understand of the epidemiology of HFMD, this study aims to investigate the use of local Geary’s C statistic in the identification of local clusters of HFMD in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. Methods: Histogram was first used to study the distribution of HFMD cases the incidence of HFMD. Local Geary C statistics was then applied to identify the spatial clusters of HFMD cases and HFMD incidence including high-high, low-low, negative and other positive clusters. Finally, HFMD cases and infection rates collected in Ho Chi Minh were used to explore the spatial clusters of HFMD. Results: It was found that, in the case of using HFMD cases, two high-high clusters in District 12 and Binh Tan in the city center, one low-low cluster in District 5 in the east of the city center and two negative clusters in Binh Thanh and District 7 in the west of the city were successfully detected. On the other hand, in the case of using HFMD infection rates, a total of three high-high clusters, one low-low cluster, one negative and one other positive clusters were successfully detected, in which, the three high-high clusters were found in the districts of Binh Tan (289 cases/100,000 inhabitants), Binh Chanh (283 cases/100,000 inhabitants) and Tan Phu (281 cases/100,000 inhabitants) in the east of the city. Conclusions: findings in this study confirm the usefulness of local Geary’s C statistic in the identification of spatial clusters of HFMD.
背景：手足口病（HFMD）是由肠道病毒引起的一种常见儿童疾病。手足口病在越南的发病率越来越高。为了更好地了解手足口病的流行病学，本研究旨在调查当地 Geary's C 统计法在识别越南胡志明市手足口病地方集群中的应用。方法：首先使用直方图研究手足口病病例和手足口病发病率的分布情况。然后应用地方 Geary C 统计法确定手足口病例和手足口病发病率的空间集群，包括高-高、低-低、阴性集群和其他阳性集群。最后，利用在胡志明收集的手足口病病例和感染率来探索手足口病的空间集群。结果：结果发现，在使用手足口病病例的情况下，成功发现了位于市中心第 12 区和 Binh Tan 的两个高发病群、位于市中心东部第 5 区的一个低发病群以及位于城市西部 Binh Thanh 和第 7 区的两个阴性发病群。另一方面，在使用手足口病感染率的情况下，共成功检测到 3 个高感染群、1 个低感染群、1 个阴性群和 1 个其他阳性群，其中，3 个高感染群分别位于城市东部的 Binh Tan（289 例/100 000 名居民）、Binh Chanh（283 例/100 000 名居民）和 Tan Phu（281 例/100 000 名居民）。结论：本研究的结果证实了当地 Geary's C 统计法在确定手足口病空间集群方面的实用性。
