BACKGROUND: Nutrition problem is a problem that is still a threat in various countries around the world, one of which is stunting that occurs since the baby is in the womb and in the early period after the baby is born, but only appears after the child is 2 years old. AIM: This study aimed to analyze the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and individual factors for the incidence of stunting in children aged 7–24 months in the slums of Ambon City. METHODS: The research was an analytical observational study using a case control study design. The population in this study was all children aged 7–24 months who suffered from stunting in Ambon. The samples were 150 child with a ratio of 1:1 for the case and control groups. RESULTS: The results showed that WASH (OR=2.7, CI 95%: 1.379–5.566) dan status Berat Badan Lahir Rendah (OR=5.1; CI 95%: 2.279–11.445) was a stunting risk factor. Meanwhile, diarrhea status (OR=2.4; CI 95%: 0.793–7.302), immunization (OR=1.4; CI 95%:0.622–3.260), and smoking history of household members (OR=1.1; CI 95%: 0.540–2.086) are risk factors, but statistically not significant. Maternal education (OR=1.0) is not a risk factor for stunting in children aged 7–24 months. CONCLUSION: The conclusion of this study is that the WASH condition and low birth weight status are risk factors for stunting in children aged 7–24 months in Ambon.

Gagal ginjal kronik merupakan suatu kondisi terjadinya kerusakan pada ginjal atau tidak mampunya ginjal menyaring darah dengan baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui proporsi serta faktor prognosis yang berpengaruh terhadap ketahanan hidup pasien gagal ginjal kronik yang menjalani hemodialisis di RSUP Dr Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar. Penelitian ini merupakan observasional analitik dengan metode cohort retrospektif dengan mengambil data sekunder dari rekam medik RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar. Data yang diambil meliputi data pasien gagal ginjal kronik yang menjalani hemodialisis tahun 2015-2017 dengan melihat umur, lama terapi dan komorbiditas pasien. Analsis data menggunakan Kaplan Meier dan Cox Regression. Hasil penelitian menujukkan proporsi ketahanan hidup satu, dua dan tiga tahun pasien gagal ginjal kronik yang menjalani hemodialisis masing – masing sebesar 82%, 13% dan 10%. Hasil uji Kaplan Meier menunjukkan bahwa adanya perbedaan yang signifikan pada ketahanan hidup pasien pada variabel umur sebesar p=0.047 dan lama terapi p=0.000 ,sedangkan variabel komorbiditas tidak signifikan secara statistik (p>0.05). Berdasarkan uji cox regression, faktor prognosis yang paling berpengaruh terhadap ketahanan hidup pasien yaitu lama terapi.

BACKGROUND: In Indonesia, particularly in the coastal area, there is a growing number of seaweed farmers who work in the informal sector as a home-based industry. It is generally assumed that this sub-group of workers is also experiencing work fatigue. AIM: This research aims to explore information-related factors that are associated with fatigue among seaweed workers. METHODS: The study was conducted in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research used a mixed-method design combining quantitative and qualitative approach. One hundred sixty-one samples were taken from four districts Mangarabombang, Mappakasunggu, Sanrobone, and North Galesong. RESULTS: More than half of the respondents feel fatigue 67.1%. Furthermore, based on bivariate analysis, it was found that there were significant associations between work hour p = 0.041 and work period p = 0.031 with work fatigue. For the qualitative approach, three focus group discussions were conducted to explore more information related to factors that were found associated with work fatigue from the quantitative study. This research found that a large number of employees experienced work fatigue. CONCLUSION: The factor that associated with work fatigue is work hour and work period. It is suggested that health providers and stakeholders related need to pay attention to this subgroup of the working population regarding their occupational health and safety problems.

This study aims to analyze the effect of auditor's work experience, integrity and competence of auditors on audit quality at the Office of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency Representative for South Sulawesi Province. With emotional intelligence as a moderating variable. This study uses moderated regression analysis (MRA) using the SPSS Version 28 application. The results of the analysis show that the variables that have a direct effect on audit quality and fulfill significant assumptions are: Auditor work experience and auditor integrity. while auditor competence has no significant effect on audit quality. Auditor work experience with a p value of 0.032 > 0.05, meaning that the higher the auditor's work experience (X1), the better the audit quality (Y) produced. Auditor integrity with p value 0.001 < 0.05, it means that the higher the auditor integrity (X2), the higher the audit quality (Y). auditor competence with p value 0.746 <0.05, meaning that auditor competence (X3) has no significant effect on audit quality (Y). The results of the moderating regression analysis for the effect of emotional intelligence (Z) in moderating the relationship between auditor's work experience (X1) on audit quality (Y) showed a probability value of 0.016 < 0.050. The value indicates that emotional intelligence has a positive and significant effect in moderating the relationship between auditor work experience and audit quality. The results of the regression analysis for the effect of emotional intelligence (Z) in moderating the relationship between auditor integrity (X2) and audit quality (Y) show a probability value of 0.010 < 0.050. This value indicates that emotional intelligence has a positive and significant effect in moderating the relationship between auditor integrity and audit quality. The results of the regression analysis for the effect of emotional intelligence (Z) in moderating the relationship between auditor competence (X3) on audit quality showed a probability value of 0.010 <0.050. The value indicates that emotional intelligence has a significant effect in moderating the relationship between auditor competence and audit quality.

BACKGROUND: People with glaucoma sometimes do not feel the symptoms of glaucoma until the end of the stage, so the risk of blindness will be even greater. Glaucoma is a form of visual impairment, also the second cause of blindness after cataracts. However, in contrast to cataracts, glaucoma cannot be cured through surgery so that the blindness experienced is permanent. AIM: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the characteristics of respondents (age, gender, and occupational status) and the quality of life of glaucoma patients. METHODS: This study used quantitative research with cross-sectional method. Interviews were conducted on 250 glaucoma patients at community eye health centers. To determine age, sex, and employment status related to quality of life, the data were analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression. RESULTS: The age with p-value 0668 and gender with p-value employment status in 0237 and 0105 with p values were not related to the quality of life of glaucoma patients. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the employment status with a significance of 0046 was a factor related to the quality of life. CONCLUSION: No relation to gender, age, and income with the quality of life of patients with glaucoma in Makassar Community Eye Health Centers in 2018 was found.
