Abstract

The global focus on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has been growing, particularly chronic degenerative diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM), which is now a serious threat to public health worldwide. According to WHO data from 2008, these diseases account for 55% of total deaths in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, the prevalence of type 2 DM has significantly increased, with over 10 million sufferers aged 20-79 years in 2017, making it a significant health management challenge. To address this, BPJS Health launched the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) to optimize patients' quality of life while maintaining healthcare cost efficiency. Families play a crucial role in supporting DM patients in managing their disease effectively, socially, and in healthcare. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family functioning and the quality of life of type 2 DM patients at the Medan Johor Public Health Center (Puskesmas). Using a cross-sectional study design, data were collected through the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire to measure quality of life and the Family APGAR questionnaire to assess family functioning. The results showed that most respondents were women, had a high school education, and had been suffering from type 2 DM for less than 10 years. Most family functions were classified as highly functional. Still, no significant relationship was found between APGAR scores and quality of life in the four domains (physical health, psychological, social relationships, and environment).

Abstract

According to the WHO (World Health Organization), acute respiratory infection (ARI) is an infectious disease of the upper or lower respiratory tract that can cause various types of diseases, from asymptomatic diseases or mild infections to severe and fatal diseases, depending on the causative pathogen, environmental factors, and host factors. Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is caused by more than 300 bacteria, viruses, and rickettsia types. The incidence, distribution, and consequences of acute respiratory infections vary based on several factors, namely environmental conditions, such as air pollution, household density, humidity, cleanliness, season and temperature; availability and effectiveness of medical care; infection prevention and control (IPC) measures to contain the spread, such as vaccines, access to health care facilities, and isolation capacity; individual factors, such as age, smoking, the ability of personal factors to transmit infection, immune status, nutritional status, previous or concurrent infections with other pathogens, and underlying medical conditions; pathogen characteristics, such as mode of transmission, transmissibility, virulence factors and microbial load (WHO, 2020). This study aims to analyze several factors related to the incidence of ARI in toddlers in the Tuntungan Health Center area, Deli Serdang Regency, in 2024. This research method uses a questionnaire containing questions to obtain primary data from respondents. The questionnaire is processed using validity, reliability, normality, and logistic regression tests. This study concludes that environmental factors, such as maternal education history, individual children, nutrition, socioeconomics, and family smoking behavior, have a relationship with the incidence of ARI in toddlers. In contrast, the results for immunization factors show no relationship with the incidence of ARI in toddlers.
