The issue of anemia in Indonesia still remains a homework for the Ministry of Health, as well as other related sectors. According to data from the Basic Health Research (Riset Kesehatan Dasar) in 2013, there are 31% female adolescents in Indonesia who suffers from anemia. However, this number increased to 48.9% according to data from the Basic Health Research in 2018, with the most proportion of anemia found in the 15-24 and 24-34 age groups. These cases clearly confirms that the health state of adolescents highly determines the success of health development, especially in the effort to establish the quality of the next generation in the future. This research uses case control design, where the case group population are students at Muhammadiyah Elementary Schools located in the city of Samarinda, East Kalimantan Province, whereas the control group population are students from Islamic Elementary Schools in the city of Samarinda, East Kalimantan Province. The statistic analysis being used is the multiple regression analysis to look for risk factor with the highest effect. This is a retrospective research, that is extracting past variable information from respondents so recall bias, which can cause wrong information, is at risk of occurance. Furthermore, the bias that might occur is that the respondent is bias by giving false answers. Another mistake is in the form of other cofounding variables not included in the research, which results in risk estimation value error.
Stunting menjadi permasalahan gizi utama yang dihadapi oleh Indonesia. Kota Samarinda menduduki peringkat ketujuh dengan prevalensi stunting tertinggi di Kalimantan Timur, yakni sebesar 21,6%. Permasalahan lingkungan memberikan kontribusi terhadap kejadian stunting. Salah satu program yang dilaksanakan oleh pemerintah sebagai upaya menurunkan angka kejadian stunting, yakni melalui program Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga sanitasi total berbasis masyarakat pilar 4 dengan risiko kejadian stunting pada balita di Puskesmas Wonorejo Samarinda. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Subjek penelitian diambil dengan menggunakan metode simple random sampling dan data diolah dengan uji chi-square. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 97 responden yang memiliki balita di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Wonorejo Samarinda. Penelitian ini menggunakan instrumen berupa kuesioner dan lembar observasi pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga. Uji validitas dan uji reabilitas dalam penelitian ini tidak dilakukan, karena instrumen yang digunakan merupakan instrumen baku yang diadopsi dari Kementerian Kesehatan RepubIik Indonesia. Hasil uji chi-square didapatkan, hubungan pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga dengan risiko kejadian stunting menunjukkan nilai signifikansi (p-value) 0,000 (p<0,05). Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga sanitasi total berbasis masyarakat pilar 4 dengan risiko kejadian stunting, penyebab stunting salah satunya adalah dari pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga yang tidak baik. Apabila pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga baik, maka kemungkinan terkena stunting menjadi lebih kecil.
East Kalimantan is one of the largest areas of the coal mining industry, which can cause many health problems, such as lung disorders. The purpose of this research was to identify factors associated with lung disorders among coal mining workers in the Coal Processing Plant at Kutai Kartanegara. This research was observational analytic with cross sectional design. Twenty respondents participated in this research (total sampling). Data was collected by questionnaire and lung function was assessed by the spirometer. Data was analyzed by chisquare test. The results showed that there was a correlation between smoking habits and lung function (p=0.02), the use of masks and lung function (p=0.038), duration of work and lung function (p=0.04), and dust inhaled with lung function (p=0.04). This study showed that there was no correlation between age and lung function (p=0.77) and exercise habits and lung function impairment (p=0.178). Based on research results, to maintain the health of coal mining worker, the factory should apply smoke prohibition, safety assessment for the worker, and manage time off work for the workers.
