Penyakit demam berdarah dengue (DBD) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia dan sering menimbulkan kejadian luar biasa dengan jumlah kematian yang besar. Di Kabupaten Maros merupakan daerah endemis demam berdarah dan meningkatnya kejadian demam berdarah dengue dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor, salah satunya adalah faktor lingkungan seperti sarana air bersih dan saluran air hujan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran faktor lingkungan dengan kejadian demam berdarah di Kabupaten Maros tahun 2013-2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek utama penelitian ini adalah petugas kesehatan dinas kesehatan dan Puskesmas. Pengumpulan data dengan indepth interview dan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa faktor lingkungan berupa sarana air bersih, dan saluran air hujan yang menjadi tempat perindukan nyamuk Aedes dan sebagian besar informan menyatakan bahwa sarana air bersih dan saluran air hujan merupakan faktor yang sangat berperan terhadap penularan ataupun terjadinya kejadian luar biasa DBD. Saran penelitian ini hendaknya pemerintah kabupaten Maros mempertimbangkan program pencegahan dan penanggulangan demam berdarah dengue bekerjasama dengan dinas kesehatan, dan masyarakat ikut serta dalam pencegahan dan penanggulangan demam berdarah dengue dengan melaksanakan 3M khususnya pada musim hujan.

<p><em>Diabetes mellitus is one of the generative disease that increase every year. Most cases of diabetes mellitus in Indonesia is type 2, the prevalence 90-95% of all cases of diabetes. About 7% of South Sulawesi's population suffer from this disease. DM is a lifelong disease that requires good management, especially in terms of blood sugar control. The aim of study is to determine factors associated blood sugar level of patients DM type 2 in RSUD Kota Makassar.This study used cross sectional study approach and sample of 149 people. This research was conducted at Internal Polyclinic of RSUD Kota Makassar, data were collected using questionnaires and patient medical records file. The results of univariate analysis showed that most respondents got adequate family support (55.1%). Most people with type 2 diabetes melitus in RSUD Kota Makassar had good diet (51.5%). Blood sugar levels of respondents in this study which were still not well controlled (77.9%). Bivariate analysis with chi square test showed that family support was not related to blood sugar levels (p = 0.26) while diet was associated with blood sugar levels (p = 0,000, = 0.523). That blood sugar levels related with dietary, not family support. <strong>:</strong> It is desirable for health workers to optimize the counseling method for patients, especially in terms of motivating patients to control disease and family should be involved in the counseling activities</em><em>.</em><em></em></p><pre><strong><em> </em></strong></pre><pre><strong><br /></strong><em></em><strong><em></em></strong></pre>

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and most often manifests in the lungs called pulmonary tuberculosis. Mycobacterium is transmitted via airborne droplets, so that a person with pulmonary tuberculosis is a source of transmission of pulmonary TB to the surrounding population. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the density of room conditions, lighting, temperature and humidity on the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the working area of the Turikale Health Center, Turikale District, Maros Regency. This study uses a descriptive design that describes the factors that influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The number of samples of 33 houses with positive pulmonary tuberculosis was determined by purposive sampling. The results showed that there was an influence between the density of room conditions and lighting on the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. There is no effect between temperature and humidity on the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Suggestions for families and the home community should have enough space or rooms, especially for pulmonary tuberculosis patients to make a special room to reduce the risk of transmission to other residents of the house.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the Dengue virus through mosquito vectors which is still a public health problem in Indonesia. Climatic factors such as temperature and humidity have an important role in the breeding process of the mosquito vector that spreads DHF. When changes in temperature and humidity occur, it can affect vector density and the potential for disease transmission where Ae. aegypti mosquitoes require a good environment to breed. The BMKG states that extreme climate change risks an increase in DHF cases. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between temperature and DHF cases in Bahontula Village, Petasia District, North Morowali Regency. This type of research is analytic using a case control research design. The research sample was 112 respondents, taken randomly using simple random sampling. How to collect data with questionnaires and observations. The statistical test used is the α test. The results showed that there was a relationship between temperature and DHF cases (p=0.019); (OR = 0.319). The conclusion of this study is that the temperature factor is related to DHF cases. For the Bahontula subdistrict, it is necessary to increase awareness of residents and the need for cooperation with the BMKG to provide information related to changes in temperature. When mosquitoes are at a good temperature for breeding, people must keep the environment clean, such as doing 3MPlus.
