Spatial Analysis of Post-Tsunami Malaria Cases at Johan Pahlawan Distrct, West Aceh
ABSTRACT
Abdullah, Hari Kusnanto, Anis Fuad
Background: Johan Pahlawan was one of districts in the area of West Aceh which experienced tsunami on Desember 26, 2006. After the disaster, it was predicted the increasing of various disease because of water, density, food emergency, and improper housing. The tsunami caused the increasing of sea water to the land as ± 3 kilometers, and the impact was water precipitations on the holes which have existed before the tsunami and also which created at the tsunami happened. Those places became new places for the anopheles mosquito grew. It was reported the increasing number of malaria incidents in the post-tsunami evacuation area, so that it needed geographical mapping of malaria cases.
Objectives: This study aimed to find out the malaria incidents post-tsunami disaster and the correlation of malaria incidents in tsunami experienced areas and non-tsunami experienced areas.
Methods: This was an analytical study with cross sectional approach. Sample for this study was all malaria incidents in Johan Pahlawan District, West Aceh during 2005 and 2006. The coordinate points of patients’ addresses were taken by using the Global Positioning Service (GPS).
Results: The results showed that correlations between malaria incidents and the use of land were as follows: the residential areas p = 0.965 in 2005 and p = 0.447 in 2006 (p > 0.05); the agriculture areas p = 0.00004 in 2005 and p = 0.0007 in 2006 (p < 0.05); the fishpond/pool areas p = 0.503 in 2005 and p = 0.953 in 2006 (p > 0.05), the rice field areas p = 0.0002 in 2005 and p = 0.001 (p < 0.05), the swamp areas p = 0.414 in 2005 and p = 0.929 in 2006 (p > 0.05) , and the wild jungle p = 0.074 in 2005 and p = 0.311 in 2006 (p > 0.05). The differences of malaria incidents in the tsunami experienced areas and non-tsunami experienced areas were t = -0.213, p = 0.833 in 2005 and t = 0.893, p = 0.383 in 2006 (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The distribution patterns of malaria cases in Johan Pahlawan were correlated to the use of agriculture areas and rice field areas; meanwhile, they were not related to the use of pool areas, wild jungle, and residential areas. There were no differences between malaria prevalence in tsunami experienced areas and non-tsunami experienced areas.
Keywords: Malaria incidents, GIS, post-tsunami, the use of land.
Inhibiting Factors in Implementing the Local Area Network (LAN)-Based Health Profile Management Information System at Subang District Health Office in 2006
Maman, Eko Nugroho, Anis Fuad
ABSTRACT
Background: Management Information System of Health Profile based on Local Area Network (LAN) at Subang District Health office is an information system based on LAN which provides health information in form of health profile. The implementation of health profile management information system at Subang District Health Office from 2003 to 2006 had not delivered significant support because it did not work well.
Objective: This study aimed to identify the inhibiting factors in implementing LAN-based health profile management information system at District Health Office of Subang.
Method: This was a case study on the implementation of LAN-based health profile management information system at District Health Office of Subang. The data were gathered through observation, focus group discussion and in-depth interview.
Results: The result showed that LAN-based health profile management information system of Subang District Health Office did not work. From the technical aspect, the inhibiting factor was network connection problem, not because of the hardware abilities. The inhibiting factor from software aspect was incomplete installation for several computers. The other inhibiting factor came from database aspect in which the database could not be accessed. Last, the inhibiting factors from non-technical aspects were: no current team of technical staff, low quality and motivation of the human resources as the users, no operational procedure, no organizational structure, poor project management, the developer was fail to synchronize the health profile management information system and the previous system, and changing of building’s physical structure and health profile tables.
Conclusion: LAN-based health profile management information system of Subang District Health Office did not work well due to technical inhibiting factors (hardware, software, and database) and non-technical inhibiting factors.

Evaluation of Paramedic Education Information System Implementation toward Policy Making at the Mataram Health Polytechnic
ABSTRACT
A. Haris, Hari Kusnanto
Background: Health Polytechnic is technical manager unit for professional education in diploma degree which has functions of developing professional education, research, and community service, developing of civitas academica and administrative matters. The paramedic education information system (PEIS) is education management and information system applied in the Mataram Health Polytechnic and there are some boundaries and limitations during the implementation. Poor integration of data and information distribution and lack of trained human resources in managing the PEIS arise information system of activity report for internal and external affair is run separately. The intranet network has not connected yet so that each department and study program has their own information system in activity report. This problem brings negative impact to the information quality of the PEIS in supporting policy making about education management at the Mataram Health Polytechnic.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the PEIS implementation, the quality of information, and its benefits for policy management at Mataram Health Polytechnic.
Methods: This study used descriptive-qualitative method with case study approach. This method was used to identify problems during the PEIS implementation based on field collecting analysis, and to describe the actual problems at the Mataram Health Polytechnic.
Results: Components of the PEIS were quite representative in policy making at Mataram Health Polytechnic. However, the implementation was not optimal then resulted incomplete and inaccurate information. Beside that, this raised several problems which derived from inattention of human resources to utilize the PEIS. Unclear procedures in data and information management caused system in departments, study program and polytechnic run vertically and separately. The impact was low quality of information that was used in policy making and management.
Conclusion: Policy making and management at the Mataram Health Polytechnic have not used information from the PEIS optimally yet because of the low information quality.

Application of Geographic Information System into Spatial Model of Tuberculocis Cases at Depansar in the Year Of 2007
ABSTRACT
Ni Nyoman Kristina, Hari Kusnanto, Anis Fuad
Background: At Province of Bali, the contagious diseases which should be alerted are the new emerging diseases and re-emerging diseases. To cover this problem, the government has developed ten national priority programs and one of them is GERDUNAS (Gerakan Terpadu Nasional) Tuberculosis. Refer to this problem, the researcher would describe several aspects which influenced the prevalence of tuberculosis (TB), such as density, poverty, urban status, and the distance to healthcare facilities. This model suggested spatial model to determine the susceptible area of TB at Denpansar.
Objectives: This study was aimed to find out the benefits of spatial model in determining level of susceptible area to TB, to find out the relationship between density and TB cases, and also to find out the association of TB clustering in the poor area, urban clusters at Denpansar, and distance to the healthcare facilities with the benefit of spatial model in improving management of TB control at the high endemic area.
Method: This study was an observational research with cross sectional approach. Data analysis used software of Geoda and SatScan for the GIS process.
Results: There was correlation between TB cases and poverty (z = = 3,502, p = 0.0004). Meanwhile density (z = -1,529, p = 0.126) and urban status (z = -1.113, p = 0.909) were not related to TB cases. The chi-square analysis also showed that there was no correlation between TB cases and distance to the healthcare facilities (x2 = 0.21, p = 0.65). Analysis of spatial dependency with Moran’s test showed the value of 0.670 (p = 0.412).
Conclusion: TB cases correlated to poverty significantly, and have no correlation with density, urban status, and distance to the healthcare facilities. Spatial distribution pattern of TB did not follow any specific pattern. Clustering of TB tended to exist in poverty area and spread following the direction of road.

Epidemiology Study of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Cases in South Palu Sub District, Palu by Using Spatial Approach of Geographic Information System
ABSTRACT
Oslan Daud, Hartono, Tri Baskoro Tunggul Satoto
Background: At the moment, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a public health problem which arise social and economic impacts. By the time, number of DHF cases tends to increase and the endemic area is wider. In 2004, number of DHF patients at Palu was 210 patients and 10 of them were died. The number of DHF patients increased to 627 patients (12 of them were died) in 2005 and 334 patients (5 of them were died) in 2006. In 2007, the number of DHF cases was enormous. Since January until April 2007, the number had reached number of 334 patients and 2 of them were died.
Objective: This study aimed to find out the epidemiology distribution of DHF cases at South Palu Sub district during the year of 2004 – 2006 in the basis of human, place and time characteristics; also to map its spatial distribution by using geographic information system (GIS) approach.
Methods: This was an analytical descriptive survey with cross sectional approach. This method was used to obtain the description of DHF spatial distribution in South Palu Sub District during 2004 – 2006. The coordinate points of patients’ addresses were taken by using Global Positioning System (GPS). The collected data were analyzed and presented on tables, graphics, and map.
Results: The epidemiology distribution results showed that most of DHF patients were men (52.48%); patients’ age were above 15 years old (46.60%); the highest endemic area was South Lolu village (15.41%), and the highest case numbers happened during May until September. There were 9 clusters of DHF cases in North Taturu and Tanamodindi villages. This study also reported that the DHF cases in South Palu Sub District related to density (p=0.004), air temperature (25.3ºC – 28.1ºC) and air humidity (71.3% - 79.7%). and Wiggler Free Rate (WFR) (p=0.462).
Conclusion: This study concluded that men had more activities than women; most of DHF patients were student aged; South Lolu village had high density and mobilization; and the increasing of DHF cases happened in rainy season during April – October. There were clustering of DHF cases in North Tatura and Tanamodindi village. Density and DHF had a significant relationship (p = 0.004). Air temperature and humidity supported the growth of DHF infector which caused the increasing of DHF patients year by year. Last, the WFR did not relate to DHF cases significantly.
Keywords: DHF cases, epidemiology characteristics, spatial distribution, GIS, South Palu.
Spirit of SIMKES Students
Achieving your goals is needed hard efforts and also sacrifice. Sometime we will find a straight road, but sometime we have to find twist and turns road. It depended on the way you through it all. The SIMKES management hope that all students are able to complete their researches well and do not take a long time.
Along these 2 weeks, six SIMKES students from class of 2007 have gotten approval for their research proposals. They are Muslim, Farid, Haris, Susilo, Kartiawan, and Desak. The topics for their research are various, such as spatial analysis, surveillance system, e-learning, information system development, and also about SIKNAS Online. Most of the SIMKES students from class of 2005 and 2006 almost complete their thesis and ready for the research result seminar and final thesis examination. 4 students are going to be graduated on this month (July 2008).
For Desak, we have to present salutation for her efforts and spirit in preparing her research although she is being pregnant. She never show her tiring face because she has to go to SIMKES office in third floor for having consultation with Mr. Anis, and also go to Mr Surahyo’s office at Inixindo (in Timoho). Her steps will not stop until this point, now she prepares herself to have the research. We hope that she will finish her research before the baby delivering day. Good luck everybody J
