Dewi Sari Rochmayani, Oktaviani Cahyaningsih, Irwan Budiono — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Research on eye health among elementary school students in Semarang City showed that 22.5% had refractive errors, 36.3% had unhealthy habits such as looking at smartphone screens for too long and reading distance < 30 cm. This indicates that eye health literacy in elementary school children is still lacking. The study aimed to develop an eye health literacy instrument for elementary school children. The development research design was utilized to develop an instrument for measuring eye health literacy. This process consisted of three stages: preliminary study, development, and testing. A focus group discussion (FGD) was conducted to determine the dimensions and parameters of eye health literacy. Instrument testing was carried out through the assessment of five experts in the field of eye health. Content validity was calculated using the Aiken V formula. The study developed an instrument for eye health literacy consisting of 4 dimensions: 1) knowledge about eye health, 2) access to eye health information, 3) skills to maintain eye health, 4) access to eye health services. The expert validity test using Aiken's V coefficient showed that each item in the eye health literacy instrument was considered as valid (coefficient ≥ 0.92).
Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the developed eye health literacy instrument is proven to have high content validity. It is suggested that further research is needed for the external testing stage.

Gisela Habibah Aisyah, Dina Nur Anggraini Ningrum — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Background: LBW is a condition where babies are born with a body weight of less than 2500 gr. In 2020, as many as 19.8 million babies (14.7%) of all babies born in the world experienced low birthweight. Based on data from the Maternal and Child Health Profile, the prevalence of LBW in Indonesia from 2020 to 2022 has increased. This study aims to know the determinants of LBW events with IFLS data. Methods: The type of research used was quantitative observational analytic using a cross sectional design, with the data source used was IFLS 5 in 2014. Results: The results showed that after controlling for other variables, the variables associated with LBW events were the number of ANC visits (p = 0.024), the number of children (p = 0.004), hypertension (p = 0.046), CED (p=0.003), pregnancy complications (p=0.003), and education (p=<0.001). Conclusions: Mothers who have visited ANC <6 times, have a >2 child, are diagnosed with hypertension by a doctor, have CED, experience pregnancy complications, and take compulsory education <12 years have a greater chance of giving birth to a LBW baby. The advice for the education office is to ensure that every woman has been educated for at least 12 years to prevent low birth weight.

Background: The work environment of construction service companies in Indonesia is still not implementing Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS). The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of health promotion on PHBS in construction workers.
Methods: This study used quasi-experimental with Pretest-Posttest Only Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 1 control group and 2 intervention groups, each with 63 samples taken using purposive sampling. The intervention was in the form of health promotion on PHBS with safety talk and peer as change agent methods for 21 days. Data analysis used Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for univariate analysis, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Mann Whitney for bivariate analysis, and Manova test for multivariate analysis.
Results: The results of the t-test showed a significant difference between PHBS with the health promotion model approach before the intervention between the safety talk and peer as change agent groups and the control group with a p value <0.05. The effectiveness test showed a difference in effectiveness between the safety talk method and peer as change agent on workers' PHBS with a health promotion model approach (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The safety talk method is more effective in improving perceptions of benefits, barriers, self-ability, attitudes towards PHBS activities, interpersonal influences, situations, and commitment to PHBS action plans compared to the peer as change agent method. However, the peer as change agent method is more effective in improving worker behavior compared to the safety talk method.
