Limited detection and surveillance of suspected tuberculosis need to be enhanced. Objective: This study aims to investigate the factors that influence the role of Physicians in screening for suspected tuberculosis. Materials and Methods: a case-control study with secondary datasets of 132 physicians. The analysis used is simple logistic regression and multiple logistic regressions. Results: out of 132, only 34 physicians (25.7%) have an active role; meanwhile, 98 physicians (74.3%) did not participate in assisting suspected tuberculosis. Almost 73% of physicians have not received additional training in tuberculosis management. The physicians contributed 19.1% to the total discovery of tuberculosis suspected in Surabaya. Age, years of working, and the number of patient visits were associated with the role of physicians in tuberculosis screening (OR of 3.809, 1.112, and 3.057). Conclusions: based on 5 variables that qualify for multivariate analysis, three factors greatly influence the physicians’ role in screening tuberculosis suspected, including age, number of patient visits, and years of working.

Fish is a protein source that can be easily found especially in Indonesia, a maritime country. However, the development of industrialization also contributes to increased pollution. In some cases, industrial wastewater contains metals that can be toxic for fish and their processed products. Mercury is one of the heavy metals that is commonly found in fish and has been found to have negative impacts on the health of the human body especially on kids. Objective. The purpose of this study is to increase schoolchildren's knowledge of the risks of mercury exposure from fish and their products. Methods. A quasi-experimental pre-post-test design was conducted among 120 elementary school students in SDN Sukolilo 250 and SDN Komplek Kenjeran II. The sampling method was done using simple random sampling. Elementary school students were divided into two groups. The intervention group received information about the dangers of mercury contamination in fish and its products and the control group received general education about the behavior of a clean and healthy lifestyle. Results. From the test, we found that the result of the paired sample t-test is <0.001 and the delta of mean score between pre-test and post-test among the intervention group was higher than the control group. Conclusion. Nutrition education in elementary students may influence the nutritional behavior of food consumption and mercury awareness. Nutrition education had a positive effect on individual behavior by increasing knowledge, behavioral intentions, and perceived behavioral control. PubDate: 2023-05-25 DOI: 10.4081/jphia.2023.2623
Authors:Siti Nuriyatus Zahrah, Nyoman Anita Damayanti Abstract: Introduction. Stunting is the main threat to the realization of quality Indonesian human resources and must be handled jointly by all parties. Several factors cause stunting, including the deficiency of knowledge among mothers about health and nutrition. Religious leaders are believed to have great authority in society and are an alternative to increasing mothers’ knowledge and attitudes. Objective. This literature review aims to discuss the relationship of religious leaders in increasing maternal knowledge to reduce stunting. Methods. This research method is the result of a literature review. This study was obtained from 3 databases, namely Scopus, Google Scholar, and articles from the mass media using exclusion and inclusion criteria. Results. From articles that reviewed religious leaders and maternal knowledge for stunting reduction, it was found that policies aimed at quickening stunting deterrence were passable at the central, regional, and district levels, but rules on spiritual methods were still inadequate. Religious leaders do not get passable evidence related to stunting, so they cannot do their best back to the public. Conclusion. Religious and stunting issues are very relevant when conveyed by religious leaders. Religious leaders can act as social agents in preventing stunting through their religious activities. Religious leaders have the role of the main actor in disseminating information. Strategies to accelerate stunting prevention through a religious method by using suitable methods and communication networks such as premarital counseling, religious knowledge councils, and sermons.

Although overall deaths from pneumonia have decreased substantially by 56%, since 1990 pneumonia contributes to about 740,000 deaths, per year. In Indonesia, in 2021, 444 children under five (CFR 0.16%) died due to pneumonia, in 2020, 498 children under five (CFR 0.16%), and in 2019, 551 children under five (CFR 0.12%). Increasing the scope of finding pneumonia in children under five is one of the efforts done in Indonesia to control pneumonia. The Influenza Like Illness and Severity Acute Respiratory System (ILI-SARI) surveillance is sentinel surveillance that is used to catch cases of pneumonia under five in outpatient and inpatient health facilities. Objective. This literature review aims to describe the implementation of ILI-SARI surveillance increasing the detection of pneumonia in children under five. Methods. The method used is to search the database through Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Research Gate. The key words used in this database search were ILI-SARI surveillance, Pneumonia under five. Results. There are 8 articles obtained and 5 articles analyzed through the suitability of the topic, objectives, methods used, sample size, and results from each article. Conclusion. Care-seeking activities are suggested to be an integral part of this method of preventing and controlling under-five pneumonia. PubDate: 2023-05-25 DOI: 10.4081/jphia.2023.2620

Authors:Kasil Rokhmad, Stefanus Supriyanto Abstract: Background. Non-communicable diseases are still a global and national problem. Around 71% of deaths worldwide are caused by non-communicable diseases, and about 36 million people per year died from them in 2016. One of these preventions is the prevention of type-2 diabetes mellitus (type-2 DM), which can be done by knowing the risk factors. There are two risk factors for type-2 DM: the ones we can change and the ones we cannot change. We can change our lifestyle, such as what food we consume, rest patterns, physical activity, and stress management. In contrast, we cannot change age and genetics. Objective. This research aimed to analyze PROLANIS activities on controlling type-2 diabetes mellitus. Methods. This research is a cross-sectional study carried out at selected Puskesmas (Community Health Center) in Tulungagung Regency between April and July 2022. The selection of research locations was based on the area’s characteristics in Tulungagung Regency, namely urban Puskesmas, rural Puskesmas, and mountainous Puskesmas. One Puskesmas represented each region. Results. Based on data from the Health Department of Tulungagung, with the results of 546 type-2 DM patients, only 34% participated in the PROLANIS (chronic disease management program) activities. Of those who participated in PROLANIS, 36% could control their type-2 DM, which means there were still many type-2 DMs that had not been controlled. Conclusion. There was a relationship between attendance in PROLANIS activities and controlled blood sugar levels in patients with type-2 DM. PubDate: 2023-05-25 DOI: 10.4081/jphia.2023.2617
