Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged at the end of 2019 and spread worldwide, becoming a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Agents, hosts, and the environment influence disease transmission. Perception influences healthy behavior in preventing disease transmission. This study aims to determine differences in the perception of health care workers (HCWs) on COVID-19 prevention behavior based on the area of work and exposure. This study is a cross-sectional study with a survey method using the health belief model questionnaire with research subjects who were HCWs on duty during the COVID-19 pandemic from May to July 2021 in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Statistical tests used were chi-square and Kruskal-Walis tests. From 346 subjects, it was found that the perception of susceptibility and self-efficacy of HCW in the yellow and red zones was higher than in the green zone (p=0.002). In comparison, the perception of barriers in the yellow zone was higher than in the red area (p=0.014). Health care workers had relatively similar mean scores in terms of knowledge (median 7 of 9), perceived benefits (median 27 of 30), cues to action (median 20 of 20), and perceived severity (median 19 of 30). Based on the history of exposure, the parameter of cues to the action of HCWs exposed to COVID-19 was better than those never exposed (p=0.009). HCW of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital has good knowledge and perception of the prevention of COVID-19. Differences in the perception of HCW between the work area and exposure history require more targeted and specific educational interventions and actions.

Exclusive breastfeeding can reduce infant mortality in Indonesia. Lack of breastfeeding is one of the causes of the low achievement of exclusive breastfeeding. Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merr (katuk) leaves are believed to increase milk production. Most people process katuk leaves to make vegetable soup, while improper processing methods can reduce the beneficial effects. This study aimed to analyze the effect of katuk leaf soup consumption on breast milk production. The subjects in the study were postpartum mothers and their babies from October to November 2021 at the PONED Health Center in West Lombok regency who met the sample criteria. This research is a randomized controlled trial. The sample used is 32 respondents. Katuk clear soup was given to the intervention group and Asifit to the control group. The data collected was processed by a nonparametric test. The analysis showed no difference in katuk clear soup and Asifit on breast milk production (p=0.105). Therefore, breast milk production increased due to katuk clear soup and Asifit made from katuk leaves. This research concludes that katuk leaves are proven to increase breast milk production. Therefore, katuk leaf vegetables can be used as an effort to increase breast milk.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's. It is chronically progressive with the main symptoms of resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural disturbances. Lewy's body and Lewy's neurite are the main findings in brain biopsies of patients with PD. The main component is alpha-synuclein, a misfolding protein that plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of PD. This study aims to determine the association between serum alpha-synuclein levels during the PD stage and compare the levels between PD patients and healthy populations of the same age. A case-control study was conducted on 62 people with PD and 20 normal subjects as controls in the outpatient Department of Neurology of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital and Ibnu Sina Islamic Hospital, Padang, from March to September 2020. The ELISA method examined serum alpha-synuclein examination, and the PD stage was assessed according to Hoehn and Yahr stages. The differences in alpha-synuclein levels between cases and controls and between stages of PD were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test. Alpha-synuclein levels in PD patients were higher than in controls, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). On the other hand, alpha-synuclein levels were higher in the severe stage than in the mild stage but not statistically significant (p>0.05). In conclusion, there was no association between alpha-synuclein levels and the stage of Parkinson's disease. Still, serum alpha-synuclein levels in PD patients were significantly higher than in the healthy population.

A perineal laceration is a wound of the skin and muscular area between the vaginal and anal introitus caused by a labor tear. Perineal lacerations might occur in sudden and rapid removal of the fetus' head, excessive fetus size, and the inability of the pelvic muscles and soft tissues to accommodate the fetus's birth. One of the empirical non-pharmacology approaches to this study sought to understand the effect of binahong (Anredera cordifolia (Tenore) Steenis) leaf decoction on peritoneal wound healing in postpartum women. This is a quasi-experimental post-test-only control group study on 30 postpartum women treated in 15 private midwife practices in Bengkulu city from 10 November to 10 December 2022 who met the inclusion criteria. Subjects were sampled using the accidental sampling technique and were randomly divided into two groups. Wound healing was assessed using the REEDA scale, and the results were analyzed statistically using the Mann-Whitney or Wilcoxon test and the chi-square test. The study's results showed that Hb, age, and the number of children's influenced perineal wound healing. The average number of days for wound healing in the treatment group was six days. For a control group that used povidone-iodine 10% was eight days. It is concluded that there is an effect of decoction of the leaves of binahong (Anredera cordifolia (Tenore) Steenis) on the healing of peritoneal wounds in postpartum women.

The prevalence of central obesity in Indonesia is increasing every year. Based on data released by Riskesdas in 2018, there were 31% of the population aged 15 years and over suffer from central obesity, where the highest was found in the 45–54 years group (42.3%), followed by 44 years (39.2%) and 55–64 years group (39.1%). Central obesity can be measured by waist circumference or abdominal circumference, and it plays an important role in the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. Examining C-reactive protein (CRP) at low levels using high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) methods will help to predict the risk of coronary heart disease. This study aimed to find the correlation between waist circumference and hs-CRP serum levels between the ages of 35 and 64. The study was an analytical observational with a cross-sectional approach attended by 25 respondents at Bhayangkara Hospital Tingkat I Raden Said Sukanto, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, from October to November 2019. The waist circumference was measured with a metlin roll, and Prodia Laboratory took the blood to measure hs-CRP serum levels using ELISA methods. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. The results showed a correlation between waist circumference and hs-CRP serum levels with Sig. (2-tailed)=0.000 (p<0.05). There was a correlation between waist circumference and hs-CRP serum levels, which indicated that the greater the waist circumference, the higher levels of serum hsCRP would be.

The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the agent of tuberculosis (TB) to live in the air is generally very dependent on environmental factors, which can cause bacteria to last long in the air and increase the risk of transmission of TB. The research purpose was to analyze the relationship between the physical environment condition and the number of germs in the bedroom of TB patients. This cross-sectional research was conducted in Kupang city, East Nusa Tenggara province, in January–June 2022 with 77 TB patients as samples, whose TB patients' rooms would be observed based on research variables for physical environmental conditions. Data were collected directly by observing and measuring directly from the variables studied and then analyzed using a correlation test and linear regression test to see the relationship between variables and the effect of the physical environmental condition on germ number in the bedroom. The correlation test shows the variables related to the bedroom germ number (p<0.25) were the number of people sleeping the TB patients, lighting, humidity, ventilation size, percentage of ventilation compared to room size, and room density. The model equation explains that 28.8% of the germ number variation in bedroom TB patients depends on the constant reduction (789,884) added to 19,217 times the bedroom humidity, then reduced by 9,518 times the percentage of room ventilation and also reduced by 31,185 times the density of the room occupancy. The most significant influence on the germ number in TB patients' bedrooms is the room humidity, which is 0.319.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) that lives intracellularly. MTB can inhibit lysosomal enzymes and phagolysosomal fusion, which is challenging to eliminate. These are due to ESAT-6/CFP-10 originating from the RD1 region genome that expresses the Esx-1 type VII secretion system. Esx-1 encodes Esx-A (ESAT-6) and Esx-B (CFP-10), potential vaccine candidates still under research and development. ESAT-6/CFP-10 is predicted to affect macrophage phagocytic activity, IFN-γ, ROS/NO, and IL-10 levels. Several studies have begun to focus on the ESAT-6 antigen due to the high levels of ESAT-6 antibody found in pleural effusion and granuloma fluid. They can last up to 1 year compared to CFP-10 in experimental animals. This study aimed to analyze the effect of ESAT-6 on the phagocytic activity of macrophages, ROS/NO, IFN-γ, and IL-10 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) cultures of pulmonary TB patients. It is experimental laboratory research with a post-test-only control group design with PBMCs from October 2019 to December 2020 in the Aretha Laboratory Bandung. There were two groups: the negative group (without ESAT-6) and the positive group (with ESAT-6). Six subjects were sampled at the Pindad Hospital in Bandung, and the research was carried out at the Aretha Laboratory in Bandung. Statistical analysis using paired t test. There was a significant difference between the negative and positive groups (p<0.05). ESAT-6 can decrease macrophage phagocytic activity, intracellular ROS/NO, and IFN-γ but increase IL-10 levels.

Pain, joint stiffness, and difficulty performing activities like rising from sitting to standing are signs and symptoms of knee osteoarthritis (OA). These conditions are risk factors for limited mobility and lower quality of life. Knee OA is closely associated with age, women, obesity, and other characteristics. The study's objectives were to determine the correlation of knee OA patients' characteristics with functional mobility using the 30-second sit-to-stand test (30STS) and the correlation of functional mobility with quality of life using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) Index. The research method was descriptive-analytic cross-sectional using medical records of 73 knee OA patients at the Medical Rehabilitation Clinic at Soreang Hospital, Muhammadiyah Hospital, Al Islam Hospital, Al-Ihsan Regional General Hospital West Java Province, Bandung, from March until August 2021. Patients' characteristics such as age (p=0.02), onset (p=0.01), OA grade (p=0,03), and knee deformity (p=0.04 ) have a negative correlation with functional mobility based on 30STS as well as functional mobility had a negative correlation with various aspects of quality of life, such as pain (p=0.03), stiffness (p=0.02), and functional limitation (p=0.00) subscales based on WOMAC index. Age, the onset of disease, OA grade, and knee deformity significantly correlate to functional immobility. Based on the WOMAC index, functional immobility correlates with the patient's quality of life.

Vitamin D deficiency is a problem worldwide, with the primary source of it being sun exposure, which activates the skin's vitamin D substrate. A diet lacking in vitamin D can put people at risk for obesity. The study aimed to determine the relationship between the risk of vitamin D deficiency and obesity in adolescents in Surabaya. It is a case-control research design conducted from March 2018 to January 2019 in a private university in Surabaya, East Java. Respondents were 200 students divided into two groups. The data collection method used the Food Frequency Questionnaire with Spearman correlation analysis to determine the relationship between vitamin D intake and obesity. The results are that the relationship between intake of vitamin D in food and obesity was very strong (0.816). The comparison between the two groups of respondents was 0.666, indicating that the non-obese group had an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency by 0.6 times compared to the obese group. There was a significant relationship between vitamin D intake in food and obesity. It is necessary to investigate further the intake of other foods and the factors that influence obesity in students.

Stunting has been a considerable problem that indicates the poor level of public health in Indonesia. There are various efforts made to reduce stunting rates. The North Bengkulu regency has significantly successfully reduced the stunting rate over three years. This study aims to determine the measures to accelerate stunting reduction in the North Bengkulu regency. This is a qualitative descriptive study with data collected through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. The study was implemented at the North Bengkulu regency in October 2021. There were five participants in the focus group discussion, and two participants were in-depth interviewed. The data were then transcribed verbatim and analyzed using the narrative analysis technique. The result of this study shows that the Head of the North Bengkulu Regency has been an outstanding leader with a strong commitment and vision to prevent stunting. The head of villages in North Bengkulu regency collaborates with public health centers in using village funds and determining the priority scale for stunting prevention. The involvement of cadres to empower the community is essential. The implementation of cross-program cooperation has been implemented. However, the cross-sectoral collaboration was not optimal. There is a difference in determining to stunt between cadres and nutrition workers. The training for stunting cadres and nutrition officers was carried out in stages. The cross-sectoral collaboration needs to increase to improve the program's effectiveness. The cadres and nutritionists need to train to determine stunting rates.
