Abstract

Excessive use of plastic bags adversely affects health and the environment based on their hard-to-decompose nature. The increase in the number of plastic bag use is strongly influenced by population growth and changes in people's lifestyles, especially in shopping patterns among housewives, besides that government policies related to the Covid pandemic have triggered an increase in the use of plastic bags. This analytical observational research aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of housewives towards the use of plastic bags in Pasar Siborongborong Village, North Tapanuli, North Sumatra, with a cross-sectional research design with an accidental sampling method. Interviews were conducted with 95 housewives. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with CI:95%. The results of research on the use of plastic bags by housewives showed that 57.9% of the knowledge level of housewives in the good category, 64.2% of housewives' attitudes in the category were not good and 77.9% of the use of plastic bags in housewives was not good. The results of the Chi-Square test analysis showed that there was no meaningful relationship between the level of knowledge of housewives towards the use of plastic bags. (p.value: 0.864). On the other hand, there is a significant relationship between the attitude of housewives towards the use of plastic bags and the p.value: 0.010. Knowledge about the use and dangers caused by plastic bags can be done through socialization with the public, including through advertisements on television and social media. The implementation of restrictions on the use of plastic bags through the paid plastic bag policy at supermarkets is felt to have not been optimal in an effort to reduce the use of plastic bags.

Abstract

Penyakit menular terus menjadi tantangan kesehatan global yang berat, dengan remaja sebagai segmen populasi yang sangat rentan. Penelitian ini menyelidiki interaksi yang rumit antara kesehatan lingkungan, epidemiologi, dan kebijakan kesehatan dalam konteks pencegahan penyakit menular di kalangan remaja di Jakarta, Indonesia. Dengan pendekatan penelitian metode campuran, yang menggabungkan survei kuantitatif dan wawancara kualitatif, penelitian ini menyelidiki berbagai dinamika yang membentuk lanskap kesehatan remaja di Jakarta. Temuan ini menggarisbawahi peran penting faktor lingkungan dalam penularan penyakit menular. Polusi udara, kurangnya akses terhadap air bersih, dan sanitasi yang buruk muncul sebagai faktor risiko lingkungan yang signifikan, yang mempengaruhi prevalensi penyakit. Analisis epidemiologi menunjukkan pola yang berbeda, dengan demam berdarah menjadi perhatian utama, terutama selama musim hujan. Kajian terhadap kebijakan kesehatan menunjukkan adanya tantangan dalam pelaksanaannya, yang disebabkan oleh keterbatasan sumber daya dan kesenjangan kesadaran. Studi ini mengadvokasi pendekatan terpadu yang mengakui keterkaitan antara ilmu lingkungan, epidemiologi, dan kebijakan kesehatan. Rekomendasi yang diberikan mencakup peningkatan perencanaan kota, peraturan kualitas udara, infrastruktur kesehatan yang lebih baik, dan pelibatan masyarakat untuk mengoptimalkan efektivitas kebijakan. Dengan mendorong kolaborasi interdisipliner dan penyesuaian kebijakan berbasis bukti, Jakarta dapat mengambil langkah substantif untuk melindungi kesehatan dan kesejahteraan populasi remaja dalam menghadapi penyakit menular. Temuan ini berkontribusi pada wacana yang lebih luas tentang intervensi kesehatan masyarakat yang komprehensif, yang menekankan pentingnya strategi holistik untuk mengatasi tantangan kesehatan yang rumit. Penelitian lebih lanjut dan tindakan kebijakan diperlukan untuk membangun wawasan ini dan meningkatkan hasil kesehatan remaja Jakarta.

Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that there are two variables related to the incidence of diarrhea, namely: personal hygiene with a p-value = 0.014 (p <0.05) and landfills with a p-value = 0.016 (p <0.05) and there are two variables that are not related to the incidence of diarrhea, namely: sources of clean water with a p-value = 346 (p> 0.05) and sewerage with a p-value = 0.472 (p> 0.05). Suggestions for the community to always maintain a clean environment and always apply PHBS, especially in maintaining personal hygiene so that it is far from various diseases
