The COVID-19 pandemic caused huge impacts on human being worldwide. The accumulated infected cases are 156,778,078 with 3,272,054 death cases on May 7, 2021. Importantly, not many people practice the prevention behavior of COVID-19 pandemic. This study measured the prevention behavior of COVID-19 in West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia by socio-demographic factors and protection motivations from the community. This study used a cross-sectional design which was carried out for two weeks from the end of July to early August. The study involved 385 respondents from 972,635 people in Municipality Pontianak, Municipality Singkawang, and Ketapang Regency, Indonesia. The result showed the majority of the respondent were female (74.3%), in adult age group (61.3%), graduated from university (51.2%), and have a job (64.9%). Multiple logistic regression showed that respondents had no occupation (Adj. OR=1.87, 95% C.I=1.04- 3.37), low perception of self-efficacy (Adj. OR=3.44, 95% C.I=1.98-5.95), and low the evaluated cost response (Adj. OR=1.94, 95% C.I=1.20-3.14) were statistically significant having correlation with poor prevention behavior of spreading COVID-19. The results can be utilized for the promotion of protocol of prevention COVID-19, for instance, provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for people with high-risk occupation including health personal, promote the importance of practice prevention behavior, and control the price of basic PPE including mask and ensure all people have an access to have the mask.

School-age is a golden period to instill the values of clean and healthy life behavior (PHBS), so it has the potential as an agent of change to promote within the school, family and community. The function of the school is also a place of learning that can be a threat of disease transmission if not managed properly. Besides, school-age for children is also a vulnerable period for various diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the association between knowledge, attitude and role of teacher with the implementation of PHBS in the school. This study used observational quantitative research by using a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were 58 students in fourth and fifth grade from elementary school number 1 East Kuripan West Lombok which selected by using total sampling. That school was selected because it has the lowest scope in terms of implementation of PHBS. The instrument used was a questionnaire in the   checklist form which consisted of 19 questions about knowledge, 15 questions about attitude, 13 questions about the role of teacher, and 11 questions about the implementation of PHBS. Each variable was categorized into good category if the correct answers was covered >70 % out of total score, and vice versa. Data analysis performed by Chi-square. The results of the bivariate analysis revealed that knowledge and attitude were significantly associated with implementation of PHBS behavior. The role of the teacher did not have any association with implementation of PHBS among fourth and fifth grade elementary school students’ number 1 East Kuripan. It can be concluded that the implementation of PHBS in Elementary School Number 1 was influenced by student’s knowledge and attitude.

Indonesia is one developing country with vary of social and culture forms, especially in Eastern part. As the vulnerable group, women of reproductive age are still facing the malnutrition, including anemia. This study aimed to examine the determinants of severity of anemia and BMI (Body Mass Index) level among anemic women.  Methods: This study used the secondary data IFLS East (Indonesia Family Life Survey East) with totally 1,021 anemic women as a sample based on sampling method of SUSENAS 2010. The sample has been chosen by multi-stage random sampling with completeness of hemoglobin, weight, and height data. The dependent variables are level of anemia and level of BMI. This study tested for the univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (ordinal logistic regression) by using STATA software. Results: The determinants of severity of anemia are BMI (AOR 1,32), place of resident (AOR 0,73), pregnancy status (AOR 0,22), and involvement in community activity (AOR 0,64). The determinant of BMI is anemia status (AOR 0.53), place of resident (AOR 0,46), educational level (AOR 0,46), pregnancy status (AOR 7,76), breastfeeding status (AOR 2,.54), ethnicity (AOR 2,42), being a Protestant (AOR 1,62), being a Chatolic (AOR 2,31), miscarriage history (AOR 5,05), and egg consumption (AOR 1,50). Conclusions: Pregnancy status is the strongest variables related to severity of anemia and pregnancy status, breastfeeding status, and ethnicity are the strongest variables related to BMI.

Background: As one of the vulnerable groups to be infected by COVID-19, healthcare workers are required to obey the hospital rules and protocols. However, it may remain challenging for them, especially related to the provision of using personal protective equipment.Objective: This study examined the obedience of medical personnel to personal protective equipment in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Yogyakarta, Indonesia.Methods: This cross-sectional study examined 259 medical personnel (medical doctors, nurses, and midwives) in the hospital. Descriptive statistics, Chi-Square test, and multiple logistic regression were used for data analysis.Results: The majority of respondents were nurses (80.3%) and female (63.3%). Those who had a poor attitude would be three times more likely to have poor obedience to using personal protective equipment (Adj. OR: 2.81, 95% CI: 1.52 - 5.19). Sex, age, length of work, level of knowledge, level of motivation, and facility support were not correlated with obedience to using personal protective equipment.Conclusion: The finding reported that many medical personnel were not obedient to using personal protective equipment because their response to disease prevention was poor. The results can be used for further intervention and education or training programs for medical personnel.

Tobacco use is one of the predicting factors of non-communicable diseases. In 2003, cigarette consumption was the main factor contributing to 4.9 million deaths in developing countries. In 2020, Bureau of Statistics Indonesia reported 31.5% of Indonesian population were tobacco users. Particularly, in West Kalimantan province, more than one-fourth of men are smokers. Specifically, in the working area of Sungai Durian Primary Healthcare Center, third-fourth of men are smokers. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) with tobacco use. This cross-sectional study employed 218 respondents of 4,321 male population. The predicting factors in this study were knowledge, attitude, and practice. The statistical test was done using univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square), and multivariate (binary logistic regression) analyses. The bivariate analysis test showed that knowledge and practice were significantly associated with tobacco use. Regarding the multivariate analysis results, practice was the strongest factor affecting tobacco use (AOR= 4.25, CI 95% (1.93 – 9.36)), and the second strongest factor was knowledge (AOR= 2.46, CI 95% (1.00 – 6.04)). Tobacco use in the working area of Sungai Durian Primary Healthcare Center was mostly affected by practice. Primary healthcare centers as the nearest healthcare facility in the community need to improve health education and decrease tobacco consumption. A tobacco control can be implemented by banning smoking indoors to reduce smoking behavior. Abstrak Penggunaan tembakau merupakan salah satu faktor risiko penyakit tidak menular. Pada tahun 2003, konsumsi rokok merupakan penyebab utama kematian 4,9 juta penduduk di negara berkembang. 31,5% penduduk Indonesia adalah pengguna tembakau berdasarkan data tahun 2000. Secara khusus di Provinsi Kalimantan Barat, lebih dari satu per empat laki-lakinya adalah perokok, dan secara lebih khusus lagi, tiga per empat laki-laki usia 20-30 tahun di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sungai Durian adalah perokok. Studi ini dilakukan untuk menguji hubungan pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku terhadap penggunaan tembakau. studi cross-sectional ini melibatkan 180 perokok di antara 4,321 total populasi laki-laki. Faktor prediksi pada studi ini yaitu: pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik. Uji statistik telah dilakukan yaitu uji tunggal, ganda (Chi-Square), dan multivariabel (binary logistic regression). Uji ganda menemukan bahwa pengetahuan dan perilaku secara signifikan berhubungan dengan penggunaan tembakau. Lebih jauh, berdasarkan hasil multivariabel, perilaku merupakan pengaruh terbesar (AOR= 4,25, CI 95% (1,93 – 9,36)) dan diikuti dengan pengetahuan (AOR= 2,46, CI 95% (1,00 – 6,04)). Penggunaan tembakau di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sungai Durian sebagian besar dipengaruhi oleh perilaku. Puskesmas sebagai pelayanan kesehatan terdekat butuh menyelenggarakan pendidikan kesehatan untuk menurunkan konsumsi tembakau. Pengendalian tembakau yang diimplementasikan dengan larangan merokok di dalam ruangan sangat penting untuk mengurangi kebiasaan merokok.

Background: Smokeless tobacco (SLT) use is a new trend since the banning of smoking in many public places, including among adolescents. Many people believe that SLT is a harmful reduction method compared to cigarettes. However, there are many risks of using the SLT, such as Head and neck cancer (HNC), cancer of the mouth, and coronary heart disease. Objective: This study aimed to examine the prevalence and the factors associated with SLT use among adolescents in Indonesia. Methods: This study used the cross-sectional data from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) Indonesia 2019. The national school was selected by proportional random sampling. Around 8,828 students were eligible for this study. Results: This study found the prevalence of SLT use was 3.25%. The bivariate test found each independent variable was significantly associated with the SLT use. However, the adjusted test found that age, smoking parent, smoking teacher, knowledge, and attitude were significantly associated with SLT use. Conclusion: The variables mostly related to SLT use come from the family and school environment. The appropriate intervention needs to be arranged to reduce the prevalence of smokers, including SLT use.
