Penyuluhan Kesehatan Tentang Pentingnya Peran Pedagang Dalam Pengelolaan Sampah Di Lingkungan Pasar Modern Teluk Kuantan

Health counseling on the importance of the role of traders in waste management in the market environment is one of the ways used to increase the knowledge of traders about the importance of waste management and market waste with the aim of changing or influencing the behavior of traders who let waste put in the open space to be left to rot by itself which becomes a source of air pollution because of its smell, and also become the cause of disease outbreaks and as one of the causes of flooding. This counseling aims to know the influence of health counseling on the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of traders in maintaining environmental health. The method used in this counseling was using a pre-test before counseling and post-test after counseling. Based on the results of our approach, it can be concluded that maintaining environmental health and knowing the impacts caused by waste is very important for personal health both spiritual and physical health. Therefore, in order to avoid unwanted diseases stemming from environmental health problems, it is necessary to reconsider the process of good waste management. When it is not noticed, it can affect our own health, then we will be vulnerable to various kinds of diseases that can harm ourselves. ABSTRAK Penyuluhan kesehatan tentang Pentingnya Peran Pedagang dalam Pengelolaan Sampah di Lingkungan Pasar merupakan salah satu cara yang digunakan untuk menambah pengetahuan para pedagang tentang pentingnya pengelolaan sampah dan limbah pasar dengan tujuan mengubah atau mempengaruhi perilaku para pedagang yang membiarkan sampah ditaruh ditempat terbuka untuk dibiarkan membusuk dengan sendirinya yang menjadi sumber polusi udara karena baunya, dan juga menjadi penyebab terjadinya wabah penyakit serta sebagai salah satu penyebab terjadinya banjir. Penyuluhan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penyuluhan kesehatan terhadap tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik para pedagang dalam menjaga kesehatan lingkungan. Metode yang dilakukan dalam penyuluhan ini yaitu menggunakan pre test sebelum melakukan penyuluhan dan melakukan post test setelah melakukan penyuluhan. Berdasarkan dari hasil pendekatan yang kami lakukan tersebut dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa menjaga kesehatan lingkungan dan mengetahui dampak yang diakibatkan oleh sampah sangatlah penting bagi kesehatan diri baik kesehatan rohani maupun kesehatan jasmani. Maka dari itu agar terhindar dari penyakit yang tidak diinginkan yang berasal dari masalah kesehatan lingkungan tersebut perlu diperhatikan kembali proses pengelolaan sampah yang baik. Karena apabila tidak diperhatikan dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan diri sendiri maka kita akan rentan terkena berbagai macam penyakit yang dapat membahayakan diri kita.

Abstract Background Almost one-third of children under 5 years old in Indonesia suffer from stunting. Stunting can be prevented optimally during pregnancy as the initial phase of the first 1000 days of life. This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition and reproductive health education of pregnant women in Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Methods A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 194 pregnant women from August to November 2019. The pregnant women were randomly selected from four different villages in Bogor Regency. The intervention group (n = 97) received 2 h of nutrition and reproductive health education in small groups (four or five mothers per group) every 2 weeks for 3 consecutive months. This interactive education was given by facilitators using techniques such as lectures, role-playing, simulation, and games. The control group (n = 97) received regular health care services. A structured questionnaire was applied to collect data consisting of maternal characteristics, nutritional and reproductive health knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the intervention and control groups. Data were analysed using t-test and chi-square analysis. Results Pregnant women in the intervention group indicated a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding nutrition and reproductive health after receiving education. The pre-test and post-test mean scores in the intervention group were 55.1 and 83.1 for overall knowledge, 40.2 and 49.0 for attitudes, and 36.2 and 40.2 for practices, respectively. In the control group, there was no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores for these three variables. There was a significant difference (P < 0.001) in the post-test mean between the intervention group and the control group, but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05) in the pre-test. Conclusion Providing nutrition and reproductive health education through small groups with interactive methods improves the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant women. This intervention has the potential to be replicated and developed for large-scale implementation by optimising collaboration between government, non-governmental organizations, and maternal and child health service providers.

To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices about the Zika virus in both students and workers at the University of Veracruz, an online survey was conducted. The participants were divided into two groups: one according to sex, the other according to whether they were workers or students. Their answers were classified into knowledge, attitudes, and practices and they were rated as low, medium, and high. The results showed that knowledge about Zika prevailing among the university population is considered as medium in 79.4% of the study population. Most respondents know that the mosquito spreads the Zika virus (98.8%) and the clinical characteristics, while sexual transmission by the virus is little known (36.85%). Both the univariate analysis (OR (CI5) 0.227 (0.070–0.735), p = 0.013] and multivariate analysis (OR (CI95) 0.234 (0.071–778), p = 0.018] showed that belonging to the health sciences area is related to having a greater knowledge about Zika. Despite the existing knowledge, a low level of prevention practices prevails in the whole community (55%). A medium level of knowledge about Zika prevailed, while proper implementation of preventive measures for Zika is low, despite the fact that the state of Veracruz—the place where the University is located—is an endemic area.

Abstract. The physical aspects and knowledge of soil erosion in six communities in rural Chiapas, Mexico were assessed. Average erosion rates estimated with the RUSLE model ranged from 200 to 1,200 ha−1 yr−1. Most erosion rates are relatively high due to steep slopes, sandy soils and bare land cover. The lowest rates occur where corn is cultivated for much of the year and slopes are relatively low. The results of a knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) survey showed that two-thirds of respondents believed that the major cause of soil erosion was hurricanes or rainfall and only 14 % of respondents identified human activities as causes of erosion. Forty-two percent of respondents indicated that the responsibility for solving soil erosion problems lies with government, as opposed to 26 % indicating that the community is responsible. More than half of respondents believed that reforestation is a viable option for reducing soil erosion, but only a third of respondents were currently applying reforestation practices and another one-third indicated that they were not following any conservation practices. The KAP results were used to assess the overall level of knowledge and interest in soil erosion problems and their solutions by compiling negative responses. The community of Barrio Vicente Guerrero may be most vulnerable to soil erosion, since it had the highest average negative response and the second highest soil erosion rate. However, Poblado Cambil had the highest estimated soil erosion rate and a relatively low average negative response rate, suggesting that soil conservation efforts should be prioritized for this community. We conclude that as long as the economic and productive needs of the communities are not solved simultaneously, the risk of soil erosion will increase in the future, which threatens the survival of these communities.

Background. Biomedical waste (BMW) is defined as unwanted materials generated during diagnosis, treatment, operation, immunization, or in research activities including production of biologicals. Healthcare workers are responsible for the proper management of this waste for human safety and for the protection of the environment. Methods. An analytical knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) study was carried out at Biyem-Assi District Hospital from June 1st to July 5th, 2018, including 100 health workers from different departments. Variables of interest were knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the respondents. A structured and pretested questionnaire was used for data collection. Data analysis was carried out using software Epi Info version 7.2.2.6. Logistic regression was used to establish the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Results. Nurses constituted 32.0% of the participants, and more than half of the participants had 1–4 years of working experience (56.0%). Overall, the level of knowledge was satisfactory at 50.0%, that of attitudes was as unfavorable at 83.0%, and that of practices was as poor at 50.0%. Favorable attitudes were associated to satisfactory level of knowledge (ORa = 5.14 [3.10–8.51] and p=0.005). Good practices were associated to good level of knowledge (ORa = 5.26 [3.17–8.7] and p<0.001) and a favorable attitude (ORa = 7.30 [2.25–23, 71] and p<0.001). Conclusion. The level of knowledge was considered unsatisfactory for half of the staff interviewed. Attitudes were unfavourable at 83.0% and poor practices at 50.0%. Staff with a good level of knowledge were more likely to have favourable attitudes towards BWM. Also, good knowledge and attitude positively influenced the practice with regard to BMW management.
