This study was conducted to determine factors related to the quality of handwashing performed by workers in the formal and informal sectors in Indonesia. Methods: The research used secondary data from Indonesia Basic Health Research. The research design was cross-sectional, and a total sample included was 421,404 workers at the productive age of 15-64 years across 34 provinces in Indonesia. The data collected included age, gender, marital status, education, place of residence, occupation, and handwashing practice. The determinants were identified using binary logistic regression. Results and Discussion: Results showed that 1.9% of workers did not wash their hands, and 35.0% only washed their hands with water; most of them worked in the informal sector (77.5%). Regarding the characteristics of workers, age (OR=1.17; 95% CI: 1.14-1.21), gender (OR=1.23; 95% CI: 0.93-0.99), education (OR=2.07; 95% CI: 2.01-2.14), and formal workplace (OR=1.43; 95% CI: 1.40-1.46) were mostly related to the quality of handwashing. Conclusion: The government is expected to formulate a structured policy in educating the workers, especially for male, young (15-24 years), low educated, and informal workers, about good handwashing. This study recommends that the government should use the current research findings to target proper population for the policy implementation.

This study aimed to examine a method or system of community involvement in developing Bacillus thuringiensis H-14 with coconut media for malaria control in the Central Bangka District. Method: The quasi-experimental research design with qualitative observation method involving 30 participants. Selected participants received training on Bacillus thuringiensis culture in coconut and guidance in assessing the population density of Anopheles larvae in ponds containing mosquito larvae before and after administration of Bacillus thuringiensis. Results: The use of local coconuts as a breeding medium for Bacillus thuringiensis H-14 was able to mobilize the community members to participate voluntarily. Participants were able to easily practice Bacillus thuringiensis H-14 culture using local coconut media and determine the location of ponds with Anopheles larvae and assess the population density of larvae in ponds few days after sowing Bacillus thuringiensis H-14. Conclusion: The intervention proved successful in mobilizing participants in malaria prevention and control in malaria-endemic areas. The intervention consisted of local organizational structure, education, and utilization of local wisdom as well as encompassing problem identification, planning, and evaluation elements. This method can be applied in other archipelagic areas that are still endemic to malaria.

When exposed, even asymptomatic (OTG) patients have a terrible prognosis. This study aimed to examine the connection between clinical features and COVID-19 poverty during the 2020 pandemic at the Covid-19 referral hospital in Bogor City, Indonesia. Methods: The research is cross-sectional. Data extended from the National Institute of Health Research and Development's ongoing research into comorbidities and COVID-19 prevention behavior in Bogor (NIHRD). The respondents in the study were validated by PCR swabs based on reports from the COVID-19 task force in Bogor. Samples were gathered from 148 suitable respondents for analysis. COVID-19 severity, supportive examination results (blood tests, radiography, and ECG), signs and symptoms, and demographic factors were all assessed. In the statistical study, simple and multivariate logistic regressions were used. Results: We found that 50.0% of respondents experienced severe symptoms as a result of COVID-19 exposure; symptomatic respondents 78.4%, blood group O 56.10%, age group 8-59 years 71.0%; male 56.1%; impaired blood glucose profile 18.3%, impaired erythrocyte sedimentation rate profile 14.9%, impaired leukocyte profile 64.9%, impaired lymphocyte profile 54.8%, impaired platelet profile 16.4%, impaired AST (ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE) profile 16.2%, impaired creatinine profile 9.5%, 67.6% of X-ray with GGO/infiltrates. Several risk factors were associated with the severity of COVID-19, including symptom factors (OR 12.59, p-value 0.002, 95% CI=1.46-55.20). ECG examination factor (OR 8.31, p-value 0.002, 95% CI=3.51-107.88) was also associated with severity. Conclusion: Therefore, to avoid the severity of COVID-19, clinical characteristics must be assessed as soon as feasible.

This study aimed to determine the correlation between blood lead levels (BLL), the gold standard to measure lead levels in human body, and hair head levels (PbH) as an alternative indicator. The study was conducted in 2014 as part of environmental pollution research. The research was focused on informal recycling of lead-acid batteries with cross-sectional design involving children (aged 7 to 13 years) who lived close to lead-acid battery recycling activities in Depok City, Indonesia. Blood lead level was measured using anodic stripping voltammetry method and hair lead level using atomic absorption spectrometry. The measurements resulted in an average BLL of 8.22 µg/dL and PbH of 8.23 µg/g. The correlation between blood level and hair level is strong with coefficient correlation of 0.543 (p<0.05). The linear equation displays a positive pattern (y=1,573x-4,705), suggesting that when BLL increases, PbH increases as well. Hair lead levels can be used as an alternative indicator to measure lead levels in children.

There are only 1.6% of HH have difficulty accessing drinking water source, 1.3% in urban area and 2.0% in rural area. The cause is 76.1% because of decreased water flow and 42.1% because of economic problems. Drinking water sources used by household who has difficulty accessing drinking water are piped water (26.8%), refill water (16.8%), and bore hole (13.6%). Only few of household difficult to access drinking water during COVID-19 pandemic, meanwhile there are increasingly of drinking water needs. It is suggested that the municipal government form a public-private partnership (PPP) to invest in immediate and long-term water infrastructure in order to strengthen the resilience of drinking water systems against future pandemics.

This study aimed to determine the correlation between blood lead levels (BLL), the gold standard to measure lead levels in human body, and hair head levels (PbH) as an alternative indicator. The study was conducted in 2014 as part of environmental pollution research. The research was focused on informal recycling of lead-acid batteries with cross-sectional design involving children (aged 7 to 13 years) who lived close to lead-acid battery recycling activities in Depok City, Indonesia. Blood lead level was measured using anodic stripping voltammetry method and hair lead level using atomic absorption spectrometry. The measurements resulted in an average BLL of 8.22 µg/dL and PbH of 8.23 µg/g. The correlation between blood level and hair level is strong with coefficient correlation of 0.543 (p<0.05). The linear equation displays a positive pattern (y=1,573x-4,705), suggesting that when BLL increases, PbH increases as well. Hair lead levels can be used as an alternative indicator to measure lead levels in children.

Conclusion: The government is expected to formulate a structured policy in educating the workers, especially for male, young (15-24 years), low educated, and informal workers, about good handwashing. This study recommends that the government should use the current research findings to target proper population for the policy implementation.
