Analisis Spasial Kualitas Air Di Kanal Pampang Kota Makassar
Environmental pollution is a serious problem that is often found in urban areas, including in Makassar City. One of the affected areas is the Pampang Canal, which serves as the main drainage channel for the surrounding densely populated settlements. Community activities that dispose of domestic waste directly into the canal have led to a decline in water quality and pose potential environmental health risks. This study aims to analyze the spatial conditions of water quality in the Pampang Canal using a non-experimental observational approach, focusing on parameters such as pH, TDS, TSS, and Pb that directly impact water health and are critical indicators for assessing pollution levels. Data collection was conducted through field surveys, which included observations and measurements of several water quality parameters, specifically pH, TDS, TSS, and Pb. Furthermore, the data obtained were analyzed using spatial mapping techniques to describe the distribution of pollution at each sampling point. The study's results show variations in water quality parameter values at several locations, indicating differences in pollution levels along the canal flow. These findings aim to guide local governments and communities in implementing targeted management strategies for the Pampang Canal, with the ultimately goal of improving water quality and environmental health in Makassar City.

Manajemen Dan Administrasi Organisasi Rumah Sakit Di Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat Graha Indah Balikpapan
Efforts to enhance service quality are pivotal for elevating the standard of health services. This challenging task extends beyond advanced health facilities like hospitals to all levels of primary health care, including Community Health Centers (Puskesmas). By recognizing the value of effective management and administration, we can devise suitable strategies to boost service quality. The method employed in this study is a qualitative descriptive method with a literature study type. The literature study in this research, a series of activities related to library data collection methods, reading and recording, and managing research data objectively, systematically, analytically, and critically, sheds light on the analysis of competencies and the crucial role of health administrators in enhancing service quality. The findings reveal that the Graha Indah Balikpapan Community Health Center grapples with significant operational challenges in several areas, including correspondence, employee file storage, and immunization polyclinic waiting room facilities. The irregular correspondence decreases work efficiency and increases the risk of document loss. Disorganized employee file storage impacts employee productivity, jeopardizes the loss of crucial information, and disrupts patient care. The inadequate waiting room conditions in the immunization polyclinic also disrupt the service process and compromise patient comfort. The research suggests implementing a digital-based document management system to streamline the search, tracking, and archiving of letters and create clear SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for the flow of incoming and outgoing mail.

Faktor Yang Berhubungan Dengan Stres Kerja Perawat Di Ruang Instalasi Gawat Darurat (IGD) dan Rawat Inap RSUD Daya Kota Makassar
Nurses in the Emergency Room and inpatient units of Daya Hospital, Makassar City, have a high workload and face a stressful work environment. This condition can trigger work stress, impacting the performance and quality of nursing services. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine whether 25 nurses experienced excessive workload, while the majority, namely 55 nurses, complained of excessive workload. This workload often leaves them feeling tired, mainly due to the demands of providing maximum patient care, which reduces their rest time. This study used a quantitative, analytical survey method and a cross-sectional design. The study population comprised all nurses working in the Emergency Room and inpatient units, totaling 25 and 77, respectively. Using a total sampling technique, all 102 nurses were selected as study respondents. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed that the workload variable was significantly related to nurses' work stress levels (p = 0.014), and the physical work environment was also significantly related to work stress (p = 0.000). These results confirm that high workloads and an unfavorable physical work environment significantly increase job stress. Improved workload management, a better physical work environment, and organizational support are needed to reduce job stress among nurses at Daya Regional Hospital in Makassar City.

Hubungan Pola Pengasuhan Terhadap Kejadian Stunting Pada Balita Umur 6-59 Bulan Di Kelurahan Mangasa
Stunting, a nutritional issue in toddlers that has not been adequately addressed, is the focus of this study. A person is considered stunted if their Height-for-Age (H/U) Z-score is below -2SD (standard deviation). In accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is hoped that by 2030, all types of malnutrition will be overcome, including reducing stunting and wasting rates in toddlers, in line with the global targets set until 2025. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the prevalence of stunting worldwide reached 22% in 2020, affecting approximately 149.2 million toddlers. This study, which employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional study design, focused on 68 toddlers, of whom 47 were identified as stunted. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test to evaluate the relationship between existing variables. The research findings show that there is no significant relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.526) in toddlers aged 6-59 months in Mangasa Village, Makassar City. Similarly, there was no relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.676) in toddlers of the same age range in Mangasa Village, Makassar City. Likewise, there is no relationship between maternal support in health service practices and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.630) in toddlers aged 6-59 months in Mangasa Village, Makassar City. This study revealed that among dietary patterns, exclusive breastfeeding, and maternal support in health services, there is no significant relationship related to stunting in children aged 6 to 59 months in Mangasa Village. These findings have the potential to shape future policies and interventions. The community is encouraged to continue providing exclusive breastfeeding and maintaining a balanced diet to support maternal and child health, increase family support in child care, and utilize health services such as integrated health posts (posyandu) and community health centers regularly.

Hubungan Kualitas Kehidupan Kerja Dengan Produktivitas Kerja Perawat Di RSUD Latemmamala Kabupaten Soppeng
Nurses' work productivity is a key element in ensuring the quality of healthcare services. This study, conducted at Latemmamala Regional General Hospital, Soppeng Regency, aimed to analyze the relationship between the quality of work life and nurses' work productivity. The research method used was a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 150 non-ASN nurses was selected using a stratified random sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that work environment safety (p=0.001) and career development (p=0.000) had a significant relationship with nurses' work productivity. Meanwhile, compensation (p=0.290), welfare (p=0.552), and communication (p=0.008) variables did not show a significant relationship.

Hubungan Antara Paparan Debu Dengan Gangguan Pernapasan Pekerja Di PT. Semen Bosowa Maros
Exposure to workplace dust is a chemical hazard that can harm workers' health, especially the respiratory system. Fine dust particles can originate from the production process and cause lung dysfunction and even disability. This study aims to determine the relationship between dust exposure and respiratory disorders in workers at PT Semen Bosowa Maros. This study used a quantitative, cross-sectional design. The population in this study was all workers at PT Semen Bosowa Maros, with a sample size of 108 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and dust level measurements using a High-Volume Air Sampler. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that although there was a very weak positive association between dust exposure and respiratory disorders, it was not statistically significant (p = 0.120). Nevertheless, dust exposure remains a risk factor that requires attention. Therefore, companies are advised to continue efforts to prevent and control dust in the workplace. For further research, it is recommended to add additional variables that may influence respiratory disorders and to expand the population coverage to obtain more representative results.

Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Keputusan Pembelian Skincare Remaja Di SMAN 1 Bantaeng
Adolescent girls' interest in physical appearance is driving increased skincare purchases. Competition from local brands is increasingly fierce, driven by social media advertising and efforts to strengthen brand image. For Muslim teenagers, halal labels and BPOM permits are important considerations. However, the presence of dangerous products that continue to circulate despite having BPOM permits shows that distribution permits alone do not guarantee product safety. Adolescents' limited awareness of active ingredients underscores the importance of research into the factors influencing skincare purchasing decisions. This study aims to determine the relationships among halal labels, BPOM labels, ingredient safety, and skincare side effects on purchasing decisions among adolescent girls at SMAN 1 Bantaeng. This study used a quantitative, cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 40 female students in grades X, XI, and XII. The research instrument was a questionnaire, and data analysis used the chi-square test. The results showed no relationship between halal labels (p = 0.736), BPOM labels, ingredient safety (p = 0.850), and purchasing decisions. However, there was a significant relationship between side effects of use (p = 0.005) and purchasing decisions. The results showed that side effects influence purchasing decisions. It is recommended to research other factors that affect skin health.

HIV is a virus that attacks the human immune system, especially Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) cells. If not treated properly, it will cause AIDS, a syndrome that appears due to HIV infection. Based on data from the Gowa Health Office, it was recorded that until October 2024, there were 137 positive cases of HIV in Gowa Regency.

This study aims to determine the relationship between the dimensions of service quality and customer experience with the intention of revisiting outpatients at Labuang Baji Makassar Regional General Hospital in order to build patient loyalty to the hospital. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique employed was accidental sampling, with a population of 5,813 individuals and a sample of 373 respondents. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires, and data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most dimensions of service quality had a significant relationship with the intention of revisiting patients. Dimensions that showed a significant relationship included responsiveness (p-value = 0.000), physical evidence (p-value = 0.000), empathy (p-value = 0.010), and reliability (p-value = 0.021). The lack of a significant relationship between assurance (p-value = 0.384) and customer experience (p-value = 0.362) suggests that the hospital should focus on improving these areas to foster confidence and motivate staff to enhance overall service quality. Based on these results, the hospital is advised to maintain and improve the service dimensions that have been good, as well as pay special attention to the assurance and customer experience aspects in order to strengthen patient loyalty and improve the overall quality of service.
