Background: The tectonic activities at the meeting points of three large plates make Indonesia a high-risk disaster-prone area. Nevertheless, disaster risk reduction efforts in various regions of Indonesia are still lacking, in terms of both knowledge and the ability to analyze disaster risks. This study examines the implementation of disaster preparedness and mitigation in Indonesia. Methods: The method used in this study was narrative review. The authors collected the articles through searching for 3 data sources from 2016–2019 using Google Scholar, iSeek, and Microsoft Academic. Content analysis of all information to obtain the thematic phenomena of this study completed the methodological approach. Results: After applying the exclusion criteria and removing duplicates, six studies remained that focused on disaster mitigation in remote areas of Indonesia. Implementation of regulation and policy framework in disaster management is not yet optimal. Disaster preparedness and mitigation is characterized by the low utilization of technology and information related to the disaster, and various obstacles in the process of evacuation and transportation. Promoting local wisdom and enhancing it through integrating science can increase disaster resilience. Conclusion: The existence of a disaster-resilient village is very influential in community preparedness in dealing with disasters and other emergencies. This study provides some recommendations for disaster risk reduction: a) strengthening policies related to evacuation procedures in the health sector by local government, b) integrating transportation modes in remote areas, c) enhancing all parties with education and training, d) establishing community-based information systems; and e) strengthening the disaster resilience of villages.
Masalah gizi anak pendek atau stunting akan berdampak terhadap kualitas manusianya. Berbagai faktor menyumbang kejadian stunting, salah satunya adalah masalah ekonomi seperti di Kelurahan Lambung Bukit, Kecamatan Limau Manis di Kota Padang. Selain masalah ekonomi, kurangnya pengetahuan ibu tentang kesehatan anak dan pengasuhannya juga menjadi penyumbang masalah gizi di daerah ini. Pelayanan kesehatan yang melibatkan pemeriksaan fisik, perkembangan anak, masalah gizi serta pemahaman ibu tentang kesehatan keluarga perlu dilakukan. Edukasi gizi diberikan bersamaan dengan edukasi ibu tentang pola asuh dan kesehatan ibu. Pendekatan individu dan kelompok ini diharapkan akan memberikan daya ungkit yang besar bagi perubahan perilaku ibu. Ibu merasakan manfaat dari edukasi yang diberikan dan meminta agar tim pengabdi melakukan kegiatan ini secara rutin, baik untuk menilai pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak, maupun untuk memberikan pengetahuan tentang kesehatan keluarga yang mereka butuhkan.
Background: Hyperuricemia is a predictor of metabolic syndrome influenced by many factors, one of which is nutritional status. A highly prevalence overweight and obesity in ethnic Minangkabau is quite high which can increase the prevalence of hyperuricemia. This study aims to determine the relationship of nutritional status intake with Minangkabau ethnic male uric acid levels.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design, done in August to November 2016. Nutritional status was obtained through the measurement of body mass index (BMI) based on height and weight. The uric acid level examined in the Prodia laboratory. Data were analyzed by using chi-square test.Results: Most of subject were obesities. A total of 21% subjects suffers hyperuricemia. Statistic test results showed that there was a significant relationship between nutritional status and serum uric acid levels (p <0.0001).Conclusions: There was a significant relationship between nutritional status and serum uric acid levels in Minangkabau ethnic men in Padang city.
Women of childbearing age are prone to anemia, especially iron-deficiency anemia. The outcome might be seen in the high maternal mortality rate in the Padang city (16 cases. Serum ferritin can be used as an initial indicator to determine iron deficiency. A decrease in serum ferritin levels can be influenced by iron intake. This study aimed to determine the relationship between heme and non-heme iron intake with ferritin serum concentration in women’s bride candidates in Padang City. This analytical study with a cross-sectional design involved 30 bride candidates, 20-30 years old. Iron intake were collected using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), and serum ferritin levels were measured using the Enhanced ChemiLuminescence Immuno Assay (ECLIA) method. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient test. The results showed the mean of heme and non-heme iron intake was 2.76 ± 0.90 mg/day and 3.83 ± 0.97 mg/day, respectively, and the mean of serum ferritin levels was 46.27 ± 27.61 ng/ml. The test showed no significant correlation between heme (r=0.094, p=0.622) and non-heme iron (r=-0.179, p=0.345) intake with serum ferritin levels. This study concludes that there is no relationship between heme and non-heme iron intake with serum ferritin levels on bride candidates in Padang City. Therefore, to prevent the incidence of anemia during pregnancy, it is highly recommended for the brides to increase their iron intake from both animal and vegetable sources.
Education minister changes learning methodby distance learning to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This change has an impact on the mentality of students. This research aims to analysis perception and emotional mental health of undergraduate students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Andalas during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is cross-sectional study and obtained 344 respondents using simple random sampling from May to December 2020. The distance learning evaluation use questionnaire in google form and the results are quantitative data; the emotional mental health condition use SRQ-20 and Microsoft Excel. This result show that all respondents experienced mental emotional disorders. The most frequently is cognitive symptoms, but some students still enjoy because closed to their family and cost saving although they have some obstacles observed, both in terms of devices, signal, and lack of interaction. All of students have mental health disorder but distance learning has been running well.
