Abstract

Background: Lead has no advantage for health, pregnant women are vulnerable to lead exposure. Blood Lead Levels (BLLs) in pregnant women that exceed the quality standard in accordance with Center for Disease Control (CDC) (>5 μg/dL) can encounter spontaneous miscarriage and fatigue easily during pregnancy, BLLs in pregnant women < 10 μg/dL can induce health problem during pregnancy such as hypertension, preeclampsia, and eclampsia which is the cause of mortality in pregnant women and high maternal mortality. The aim of study to measure BBLs and the source of exposure.Methods: Pregnant women in 2nd and 3rd trimester were recruited in 4 Subdistricts. Cross sectional study is used with 86 pregnant women located in Wanasari Subdistrict, Bulakamba Subdistrict, Losari Subdistrict and Tanjung Subdistrict with purposive sampling method. BLLs during pregnancy were determined by Atomic Adsorpiton Spectrometer.Results: The results shows that mean of BLLs in pregnant women in this study were 42.437 + 19.758 μg/dL. The source of lead exposure are the habit of consuming seafood (44.2%), wrapping food using newspaper (80.2%), being involve in agricultural activity (37.2%), and passive smoking (70.9%).Conclusions: To recapitulate, BBLs in pregnant women in the northern area of Brebes Regency have exceeded the standard set by the CDC of 5 μg/dL. The dominant source of lead exposure are the habit of wrapping food using newspaper and passive smoking.

Abstract

Background: Cockroaches are insects that are considered disgusting and act as mechanical vectors. The existence of cockroaches in a place becomes a benchmark of low sanitation in the place. The properties possessed by cockroaches by eating anything, so that in looking for food can spread nematodes by walking and removing dirt on top of food, dishes or other eating utensils that pass.

Abstract

Background: Occupational Health Post (Pos UKK) is a program aims to improve occupational health and productivity of informal sector workers in Indonesia through promotive, preventive, simple curative and rehabilitative care with the principle of Community Based Health Efforts (UKBM). The number of Pos UKK registered in Semarang City Health Office is 30 units. The results of the preliminary study illustrate different situations because there were only 6 Pos UKK. Among those, only 2 were active (6.7%) from the registered Pos UKK. It’s alleged that inactivity of Pos UKK due to low support from various parties and impacted on low sustainability of the program. This study aims to analyze the reinforcing factor with the involvement of informal sector workers in Pos UKK in Semarang City.Methods : Quantitative study with cross sectional approach. Population were 146 workers and selected sample were 70 workers. Independent variables include co-worker support, business owner support and Community Health Centre (Puskesmas) support and dependent variable is involvement of informal sector workers in Pos UKK.Results : Majority of informal sector workers involvement in Pos UKK were low (51,43%). Co-worker and business owners support was good but Puskesmas support as guide was not. Statistically, co-worker support (p = 0,000, OR = 30.8), business owner support (p <0.001, OR = 10.6) and Puskesmas support (p <0.001, OR = 13.5) proved to have a significant relationship. Conclusion:This study showed that reinforcing factors have significant relationship in increasing involvement of informal sector workers in Pos UKK to ensure program sustainability. Puskesmas is expected to provide continuing assistance and socialization about the benefits of Pos UKK to informal sector workers.

Abstract

Background: The presence of potential breeding places can be used to measure the risk of DHF transmission in Klaten. This result can be used by the community to eradication of mosquito breeding place on terget and can improve to early warning system through effective methods for vector control. The aim of the study is to know effective methods for vector control to improve early warning system.Methods: Type of study was analytic with cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in 104 households with simple random sampling technique. Data analysis used three stages: univariate, bivariate (Chi-square, Kolmogorov Smirnov, Spearman rank) and multivariate test (multiple logistic regression) with α=5%.Results: The density of larvae based on the value of CI, HI, and BI amounted to 1,6%, 19.2%, 27.9%. The potential place for larvae breed based on Maya Index of 76%. Containers of open wells with groundwater sources, the volume of water is more than 1 liter and the material from cement can be the preferred place for mosquitoes to breed. Multivariate analysis shows that open wells are strongly related and has a risk of 1,556 (CI: 1,199-2,019) increasing the density of larvae compared with other variables.The density of larvae based on who's standards indicates BI is a high category, HI is a moderate category and CI is a low category.Conclusions: The condition is influenced by the presence of open wells made of cement and can hold water in large quantities. Improve to early warning system of DHF transmission through effective methods for vector control in this area are to close the wells at the household level and conduct regular monitoring on the Controllable Sites.
