The Relationship Between Consumer Perception Regarding Quality, Price and Sanitation Hygiene Towards Food Purchase Decisions in the Kambang Iwak Area of Palembang City
type: item
description: Consumer perception plays an important role in determining food purchasing decisions, especially in assessing the quality, price, and hygiene aspects of food sanitation. These factors can affect the level of consumer trust and interest in choosing and consuming food in a place. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between consumer perceptions regarding quality, price, and food hygiene sanitation to food purchasing decisions in the Kambang Iwak area of ​​Palembang City. This study aims to analyze the relationship between consumer perceptions regarding quality, price, and food hygiene sanitation with food purchasing decisions in the Kambang Iwak area of ​​Palembang City. This study used an analytical method with a cross-sectional design and involved 95 respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through interviews using questionnaires, while data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis with the Spearman Rank correlation test using a statistical program. The results showed a significant relationship between quality (p = 0.025), price (p = 0.001), and perceptions of food hygiene sanitation (p = 0.000) to food purchasing decisions. The conclusion of this study reveals that there is a very strong correlation (ρ=-0.780) but in the opposite direction between the perception of food hygiene sanitation and food purchasing decisions. In other words, the more positive the consumer's perception of food hygiene and sanitation, the lower their tendency to make repeat purchases, even potentially not buying again. The suggestion of this study is that consumers should pay more attention to the aspects of food hygiene and sanitation before making a purchase.

Community Behavior Related to Environmental Sanitation in Wetland Areas on the Siak Riverbank
type: item
description: Environmental sanitation is an effort to optimize environmental conditions to prevent the spread of disease and improve public health. Inadequate implementation of environmental sanitation, including access to clean water and use of unsanitary toilets, contributes to an increase in environmentally based infectious diseases. This research aims to explore community behavior related to environmental sanitation in the wetland area along the Siak River. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews with six informants, selected by purposive sampling, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Some practices reported by the informants align with environmental health standards, such as disposing of waste at designated landfills, managing drinking water, and maintaining household environments. However, there are still practices that do not align with health standards, such as disposing of feces into rivers and using river water for household needs. Poor sanitation practices, if carried out over a long period of time, will endanger health, quality of life, and the environment. These practices are attributed to poor community habits and economic constraints that hinder informants from constructing adequate sanitation facilities. The role of relevant institutions is needed in empowering and improving sanitation infrastructure so that environmental sanitation practices that meet health standards can be implemented.

An Analysis of the Performance of Dental Health Professionals on Dental and Oral Health Services at a Private Hospital Dental Clinic in Medan
type: item
description: Oral and dental health issues remain a major issue in efforts to improve public health in Indonesia. The importance of dental health workers in providing quality services is demonstrated by the high prevalence of dental disease and low public awareness of the importance of maintaining dental and oral hygiene. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how dental health workers provide oral health services at the Dental Polyclinic of a Private Hospital in Medan. This study was conducted qualitatively with ten informants dental specialists, general dentists, and patients. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies, then analyzed using thematic analysis by Braun & Clarke (2006). The results of the study indicate that the performance of dental health workers generally meets professional standards, particularly in compliance with operational procedures and clinical skills. However, there are still obstacles such as limited radiology facilities, high workloads, and inefficient administrative systems. Factors that influence performance include individual factors (experience, motivation), environmental factors (facilities, infrastructure, management), and psychological factors (satisfaction and appreciation). Good performance has been shown to contribute to patient satisfaction and service quality. This study recommends improving supporting facilities, optimizing management systems, providing effective communication training, and providing awards for medical personnel to improve the quality of dental services at Dental Polyclinics at Private Hospitals in Medan.

Correlation Between Body Image, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Quality of Life and Nutritional Status
type: item
description: Adolescence is a period of identity formation, and the social environment plays a significant role in shaping perceptions of body image. Negative body image perceptions can reduce quality of life and mental well‑being, which in turn may affect the nutritional status of high school students. This study was carried out at five public senior high schools in Pontianak City, involving 284 students, in September 2024. Data were collected through BMI measurements and the administration of three instruments: the BSQ‑34 questionnaire, the WHOQOL‑Brief scale, and the DASS test. Relationships between variables were analyzed using the Pearson Chi‑Square test. The results showed that students generally held positive body image perceptions and had normal nutritional status. Quality of life was rated highest in the physical health and environmental domains. Nutritional status was significantly associated with body image (p = 0.000). Body image was significantly related to depression (p = 0.000) and anxiety (p = 0.000), as well as to the physical health (p = 0.006) and psychological health (p = 0.008) domains of quality of life. Implementing physical activity programs and providing cognitive‑behavioral support can help improve positive body image perceptions, which in turn benefit mental health and quality of life, and ultimately support better nutritional status among high school students.

The The Impact of Safety Talk Educational Videos on Changes in Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior Among PT MMP Mining Workers
type: item
description: This study examines the impact of safety talk educational videos on improving knowledge, attitudes, and safety communication behavior among workers in the mining sector. Mining activities carry high risks, making clear communication essential to prevent incidents. Verbal delivery is often less effective, especially for workers with diverse educational backgrounds. To address this, the study employed video-based safety talks that present safety messages in a simpler and more comprehensible way. The research design used was a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest involving 100 workers at PT Mitra Muda Prima. Data on knowledge, attitudes, and communication behavior were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed with the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and paired t-test. Results showed improvements across all variables, with knowledge experiencing the greatest increase. Attitudes and communication behavior also showed positive changes. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences between pretest and posttest scores (p <0.001). These findings demonstrate that video-based safety talks are effective in strengthening safety communication in high-risk workplaces.

The Effect of Finger-Holding Therapy and Deep Breathing on Blood Pressure Reduction in Older Adults with Hypertension in Klaten Regency
type: item
description: Introduction: Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases commonly found in the elderly. The high prevalence of hypertension among older adults is influenced by factors such as age, lifestyle, and stress levels, thereby encouraging the development of non-pharmacological interventions, including finger-holding therapy and deep breathing exercises. Objective: To determine the effect of finger-holding therapy and deep breathing on blood pressure among elderly individuals in Dusun II Suko, Cawas District, Klaten Regency, Central Jawa. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group involving 72 respondents (36 in the intervention group and 36 in the control group), selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The intervention group received therapy for 16 days (6 sessions), while the control group received standard therapy. Data were collected using questionnaires, blood pressure measurements, and observations (pretest-posttest), and analyzed using non-parametric tests due to non-normal data distribution (Shapiro-Wilk p < 0.05), with the Wilcoxon test used to assess the effect. Results: Finger-holding therapy and deep breathing were effective in reducing blood pressure, as indicated by a decrease in the intervention group (138.72 to 89.44 mmHg) and an increase in the control group (87.37 to 158.03 mmHg). For systolic pressure, the mean rank ranged from 31.46 to 35.82 with p = 0.000 (significant), while for diastolic pressure, the mean rank ranged from 34.33 to 26.13 with p = 0.175 (not significant). Conclusion: Finger-holding therapy and deep breathing are effective in reducing blood pressure in the elderly, particularly systolic pressure, through relaxation of the autonomic nervous system. These interventions have the potential to be widely applied as a basis for developing non-pharmacological therapies for hypertension.

Factors Influence Farmers' Behavior in Pesticide Use and the Role of Stakeholders in Its Management in Solok Regency West Sumatra
type: item
description: The unsafe and unhealthy use of pesticides by farmers is still a public health problem in agricultural areas, but comprehensive studies that reveal farmer behavior factors and the role of stakeholders in pesticide management are still limited, especially in horticultural centers such as Solok Regency. This study aims to explore the factors that influence farmers' behavior in pesticide use and analyze the role of stakeholders in its management, so that strategic recommendations for pesticide use can be formulated. The study uses a qualitative design with a case study approach in Solok Regency, West Sumatra, from March to July 2025. Informants in this study were selected using purposive sampling, consisting of nine independent farmers and eleven group farmers as key informants, as well as nine stakeholders as supporting informants. Data were collected through FGDs and in-depth interviews, analyzed using content analysis, and validated using source and method triangulation. The results showed that farmers' behavior in pesticide use was influenced by their perception of pesticides as a guarantee of successful harvests, concerns about yield decline, and economic constraints. In addition, weak supervision and cross-sector coordination by the Fertilizer and Pesticide Supervisory Commission (KPPP), the limited role of extension workers and health workers, and suboptimal access to personal protective equipment weaken the cues to action for farmers. This study concludes that changing behavior towards safe and healthy pesticide use requires comprehensive interventions that integrate a behavior change approach based on the Health Belief Model with the strengthening of supervision systems, extension services, and collaboration among relevant stakeholders. Keywords : pesticide use, farmers’ behavior, stakeholders

Healthy Snack: Nutritious Crispy Crackers with Anchovies for Children Aged 2–5 Years
type: item
description: Stunting remains a major nutritional issue in Indonesia, partly due to insufficient calcium intake, which is essential for children’s height growth. Food interventions are needed to improve calcium consumption. This study develops a healthy, high-calcium rice anchovy snack (peyek) and assesses panelist acceptance through organoleptic testing—color, aroma, taste, and texture. The snack was well accepted, with hedonic scores ranging from 3.73 to 4.47 on a 5-point scale. Attributes such as color, aroma, texture, and overall acceptability were rated very highly. Anchovy rice crackers show promise as a high-calcium local food snack. Further flavor optimization is needed to create new product variants.

type: item
description: Ineffective medical waste management can pose serious risks to the environment and public health. With the increasing number of healthcare facilities in Batam City, efficient and safe management of solid medical waste has become a key priority in ensuring environmental sustainability and community well-being. This study aims to identify current practices of solid medical waste management in hospitals and to formulate strategies that align with regulations and local conditions to improve the quality of waste management. The research employed a qualitative design with a case study approach, conducted at one hospital in Batam City. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and Focus Group Discussions. Data analysis was performed using triangulation techniques, and the results served as the basis for strategy formulation through SWOT analysis. The findings show that most hospitals have complied with the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation (PerMenLHK) No. P.56/2015, although technical constraints and limited human resources remain challenges. The attitude of healthcare workers was found to significantly influence waste management practices. The SWOT analysis positioned Hospital X in Quadrant I (aggressive strategy), indicating favorable conditions for improvement. The hospital needs to enhance human resource capacity and implement policies based on the 5R principles (reuse, reduce, recycle, recovery, repair).

type: item
description: Ignoring plastic waste management systems can threaten the sustainability of the environment and living creatures in the universe. The alarming amount of plastic waste shows the failure of waste management systems and demands serious control through the use of environmentally friendly materials that can reduce ecological impacts and encourage sustainable changes in consumer behavior. In an effort to control and reduce the generation of single-use plastic waste in Jakarta, Provincial Government issued “DKI Jakarta Provincial Governor Regulation Number 142 of 2019 concerning the Obligation to Use Environmentally Friendly Shopping Bags in Shopping Centers, Supermarkets and People's Markets”. This paper aims to analyze the effectiveness of single-use plastic waste control after the enactment of the regulation and compare similar policies in several countries. The method used is through literature review by reviewing various literature sourced from scientific journals and relevant research reports. The results of the study state that the implementation of the policy on the use of eco-friendly shopping bags has been able to reduce the amount of plastic waste generation and increase the use of Environmentally Friendly Shopping Bags in Jakarta Province and several countries that implement similar policies. The government must create an ecosystem that supports policy implementation through massive and sustained public campaigns and education to build understanding and change public behavior so that people are more prudent in reducing their use of single-use plastic bags.

Effects of PAKEM-Based Anemia Education on Knowledge and Iron Tablet Consumption Compliance among Adolescent Girls at SMK Negeri 2 Padang
type: item
description: Anemia is a global health problem with significant impacts on adolescent girls. The prevalence of anemia among women aged ≥15 years worldwide remains stagnant at 29.9%. Compliance with iron tablet consumption remains low, partly due to inadequate knowledge. The Participatory, Active, Creative, Effective, and Fun (PAKEM) education model is considered a potential approach to improve knowledge and promote compliance with iron tablet consumption. This study aimed to analyze the effect of PAKEM-based anemia education on knowledge levels and compliance with iron tablet consumption among adolescent girls at SMK Negeri 2 Padang. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. The research was conducted from May to October 2025, involving 74 adolescent girls, who were divided into intervention and control groups using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Univariate data were presented as frequency distributions, while bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed an increase in knowledge in the intervention group, from predominantly moderate (48.6%) to good (73.0%). Compliance with iron tablet consumption improved from predominantly low (64.9%) to moderate (43.2%) after receiving PAKEM-based education. The chi-square test showed significant differences in knowledge (p=0.001) and compliance with iron tablet consumption (p=0.008) between the intervention and control groups after receiving PAKEM-based anemia education.). In conclusion, PAKEM-based anemia education is effective in improving knowledge and compliance with iron tablet consumption among adolescent girls. This model can be recommended as an innovative strategy to enhance anemia prevention programs in schools.

The Effect of a Combination of Batimung Therapy and Lavender Aromatherapy on Improving Sleep Quality in Postpartum Mothers
type: item
description: Sleep disruptions after postpartum might impair mother recovery owing to hormonal changes, exhaustion, and psychological stress. Batimung and lavender aromatherapy will be tested for their effects on postpartum moms' sleep. This quasi-experimental research separated 30 postpartum moms into intervention and control groups using purposive selection and a pretest–posttest control group technique. The intervention group got batimung treatment and lavender aromatherapy for six days, whereas the control group received simply lavender. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Wilcoxon Signed Rank and Mann-Whitney tests examined sleep quality. Both groups saw substantial improvements in sleep quality (p < 0.001), with the intervention group having a considerably lower PSQI score (p = 0.003). Batimung and lavender aromatherapy improve postpartum moms' sleep quality more effectively and might be used as a non-pharmacological intervention in obstetric care.

type: item
description: The increasing incidence of hypercholesterolemia among employees may affect cardiovascular health and workplace productivity. In Indonesia, the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2018 reported that 35,9% of adults have elevated cholesterol levels. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with total cholesterol levels among employees and to determine the most dominant influencing factor. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were obtained from company medical check-up records and physical activity questionnaires using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The independent variables included age, blood pressure, smoking habits, obesity, exercise routine, and gender, while the dependent variable was total cholesterol level. Data were analyzed using chi-square test and binary logistic regression. The results showed that high blood pressure (PR = 16.5; p < 0.001), obesity (PR = 3.646; p = 0.035), and irregular exercise (PR = 5.633; p = 0.013) were significantly associated with elevated total cholesterol levels. Multivariate analysis indicated that high blood pressure was the most dominant risk factor influencing total cholesterol levels (PR 15.569; p < 0.001). Maintaining normal blood pressure, regular physical activity and weight management are essential strategies to workplace health improvement.

The Influence of Health Education and Husband's Support on The Prevention of Postpartum Blues in Postpartum Mothers
type: item
description: If left untreated, postpartum blues can lead to depression in the first two weeks after delivery. In Indonesia, postpartum blues is still common, and family-based prevention efforts are still incomplete. This study examines how Communication, Information, and Education (IEC) and partner support can reduce postpartum blues in postpartum women. This study used a quantitative pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample consisted of 30 postpartum women in the intervention and control groups. The intervention group received IEC and husband support, while the control group received standard care. This study was conducted at PMB Puji Handayani, Sungai Kunjang District, Samarinda City, East Kalimantan Province. Measurements were conducted using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire. The results showed a greater reduction in postpartum blues scores in the intervention group. IEC accompanied by husband support is effective in reducing postpartum blues symptoms. Emotional, instrumental (housework/baby care assistance), and informational support from partners increase maternal coping capacity, reduce care stress, and accelerate psychological recovery. It is recommended that this be implemented in obstetric services.

The Role of Transformational Nursing Leadership in Implementing a Patient Safety Culture
type: item
description: Patient safety culture in hospitals is strongly influenced by the quality of nursing leadership, yet empirical evidence from infectious disease referral hospitals in Indonesia remains limited, particularly regarding the role of transformational head nurse leadership. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the transformational leadership style of head nurses and the implementation of patient safety culture at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Diseases Hospital, Jakarta. This quantitative research employed a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Respondents were staff nurses in inpatient units selected using simple random sampling, with inclusion criteria of actively working nurses willing to participate and exclusion criteria of nurses on leave (maternity, sick, study), internship nurses, the researcher, and head nurses, resulting in 48 respondents. Data were collected using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPS) Version 2 and a validated transformational leadership questionnaire, then analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the chi-square test. Most respondents perceived the transformational leadership of head nurses as good (64.6%) and the patient safety culture as good (54.2%). There was a significant relationship between transformational leadership and patient safety culture (p = 0.004), with a Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) of 7.944 (95% CI: 2.033–31.041), indicating that nurses who perceived transformational leadership as good had nearly eight times higher odds of reporting a good patient safety culture. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening transformational leadership development programs for ward managers as a strategy to improve patient safety culture and service quality in infectious disease referral hospitals.​

The Influence of Health Management and Occupational Safety on the Implementation of Welding Practices
type: item
description: Various welding accident cases indicate hazardous conditions, highlighting the need for occupational health and safety management training for students at SMKN 2 Pekanbaru. This study adopts a quantitative, cross-sectional design, using a survey of all 39 students in the 12th-grade welding department. The study adopts a non-probability sampling method, using saturated sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire to assess students' understanding of occupational health and safety management in welding practices. The study analyzes the data using multiple linear regression processed through SPSS. The results show that there is no partial effect of health management on the implementation of welding practices, as the t statistic < the t table value (2.055 < 2.208). At the same time, occupational safety affects the implementation of welding practices (4.598 > 2.208). Additionally, there is a simultaneous effect (F test) of health management and occupational safety on the implementation of welding practices, where F count > F table (15.330 > 3.25). Health management does not influence welding practices, whereas occupational safety does. It is advisable to provide health management training and conduct regular occupational safety training before students begin welding practices.
