Abstract

This study reveals the serious challenges faced by the community in Lebani Village, particularly in the Nipa-Nipa Selatan hamlet, regarding household waste and garbage management. The lack of adequate waste disposal facilities often leads to indiscriminate dumping of trash, creating environmental and public health issues. To address this problem, the study proposes solutions focusing on enhancing household waste management literacy. The research methodology involved the active participation of students from the ST Fatimah Mamuju Institute of Health and Business during their Field Learning Practice (PBL), enabling data collection from the Posko V of Lebani Village, particularly the Nipa-Nipa hamlet, in December 2022. The findings reveal that the Lebani Village community tends to use waste management strategies involving temporary storage and disposal into rivers or the sea. However, this method is limited in capacity and efficiency and potentially pollutes the water, leading to blockages. Based on these findings, the study highlights the need for innovative strategies in waste management to achieve better efficiency and promote recycling. In conclusion, the government needs to pay special attention and support environmentally friendly waste management programs in Lebani Village. Enhancing household waste management literacy is also a key step in changing community behavior towards waste management. Thus, this research provides a framework for addressing waste management issues in rural villages, with the hope of improving overall environmental quality and community welfare.

Abstract

Maternal mortality is an indicator that shows the welfare of women in a country is not guaranteed. The urgency of maternal and child health has been on the agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals. This means that maternal mortality must be immediately reduced to 70 per 100,000 live births. The purpose of this study was to examine the epidemiology and underlying causes of postpartum hemorrhage in women. The study was designed in the form of a cohort study using 14 female respondents who were patients at Mitra Manakarra Mamuju Hospital. The study was conducted in July–December 2023. The results found that factors of education, parity, history of anemia, and birth spacing are risk factors for bleeding. Causes of bleeding in postpartum respondents include placental retention, uterine atony, and birth canal tears. It is therefore important to prevent bleeding by treating anemia at birth, spacing births between 2 and 5 years, and increasing maternal knowledge.
