Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health concern in Pidie Regency, Indonesia. Although digital surveillance systems such as SKDR have been introduced, the effectiveness of dengue control still largely depends on the role and capacity of surveillance officers. This study aimed to explore the experiences of dengue surveillance personnel in Pidie Regency, focusing on their knowledge, reporting mechanisms, encountered challenges, and expectations regarding the surveillance system. A qualitative method with a phenomenological design was employed, involving 11 purposively selected informants. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman framework, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The analysis revealed six main themes: officers' knowledge and understanding of dengue, sources of data and case collection methods, the use of digital applications for reporting and analysis, implementation challenges in the field, cross-sectoral roles and support from village governments, and officers' expectations for improvement. The findings highlight that limited resources, technical issues, and insufficient intersectoral collaboration hinder effective surveillance. Strengthening the surveillance system requires responsive strategies that consider on-the-ground challenges. A deeper understanding of surveillance officers’ field experiences is crucial for developing adaptive and sustainable public health interventions for dengue control.

Immunization is an effort to provide immunity to infants and children by introducing vaccines into the body. This vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies that function to prevent certain diseases. The coverage of Complete Basic Immunization in Banda Aceh City/District from 2022 to 2024 has decreased each year by (43.9%) in 2022, (37.8%) in 2023, and (34.9%) in 2024. The immunization coverage is still very low and below the national target of (95%). To determine the factors influencing maternal behavior in basic immunization within the working area of the Banda Aceh City Health Center. Research.

Bivariate data analysis with Spearman correlation test. This study found a relationship between each variable and maternal behavior regarding basic immunization with the variables Attitude Toward Immunization (p=0.000), Subjective Norm of Immunization (p=0.000), Perceived Behavioral Control of Immunization (p=0.000), Actual Behavioral Control of Immunization (p=0.000). All variables are related to maternal behavior in basic immunization within the working area of the Banda Aceh City health center.

Hypertension is one of the health problems, especially for hajj pilgrims, because hypertension is one of the entry points or risk factors for diseases such as heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes mellitus, and stroke. In 2024, cases of hajj pilgrims suffering from hypertension were 1,822 people (38.66%). This study aims to analyze the factors related to the incidence of hypertension in hajj pilgrims at the Aceh Embarkation. Quantitative research with a Cross Sectional Study approach using secondary data. The population is all hajj pilgrims at the Aceh Embarkation in 2024 totaling 4,713 people. The research sample is the total population. Bivariate data analysis with the chi-square test and multivariate with logistic regression. The results of the study obtained variables that have a significant relationship with hypertension are age (OR = 3.5; 95% CI: 3.08–3.95; p-value = 0.0001), family history (OR = 2; 95% CI: 1.74-2.25; p-value = 0.0001). Obesity (OR = 1.3; 95% CI: 1.14–1.44; p-value = 0.0001), diabetes (OR = 1.5; 95% CI: 1.28–1.75; p-value = 0.0001) and poor physical fitness OR = 1.7; 95% CI: 1.48–1.89; p-value = 0.0001). The conclusion of this study is that the age variable is the most dominant variable with the incidence of hypertension in the Aceh Embarkation Hajj pilgrims.
