Abstract

Background: The increasing incidences of Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) and Human Immonodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection are becoming serious public health concerns in Indonesia and other countries. These issues are of concern  that call for close attention not only for general public but also for male and female prisoners. As studies have shown the prevalences of HIV and syphilis were 1.1% and 5.1% in male prisoners, respectively, 6% and 8.5% in female prisoners. For those reasons,  at some  jails  Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) have been provided  for HIV/AIDS control and prevention. The success of the screening program with VCT would depend on  the provision of supplies, equipment, infrastructure, health personnel, and fund. This study aimed to analyze the adequacy of various inputs in the STI screening program with VCT for prisoners at the Class II A female jail, in Malang, East Java.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with evaluation approach.

The health care team involved in the STI screening with VCT program, included skilled health personnel from the jail and the mobile STI team from Arjuno Community Health Center, Malang. The sources of fund for these programs came from the international as well as domestic funding agencies. The international funding came from the Global Fund.

Abstract

Background: Mentally disabled adolescents have limitations that make them are at greater risk of dental caries. There is a lack of studies on the factors associated with dental caries in adolescents using Social Learning Theory. This study aimed to determine factors associated with dental caries among mentally disabled adolescents using Social Learning Theory.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study using cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at several special schools for disabled children (SLB) Surakarta, including: SLB C Setya Darma, SLB C YPSLB, SLB CG YPPCG Bina Sejahtera, and SLB C1 YSSD, in Surakarta, Central Java, from June to July 2017. A sample of 150 mentally disabled school children were selected for this study  by purposive sampling.  The dependent variable was caries dental status. The independent variables were parenting time, maternal oral health knowledge, maternal attitude towards oral health, maternal oral hygiene practice, child oral hygiene practice, maternal sweet food intake, child sweet food intake. Dental caries status was measured by decay, missing, filled-teeth (DMF-T) index. The other data were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis.Results: Dental caries was directly and positively associated with sweet food intake (ƅ= 0.27, SE= 0.09, p= 0.002), poor child oral hygiene practice (ƅ= 0.09, SE= 0.04, p= 0.018), and poor maternal oral health knowledge (b= 0.36, SE= 0.10, p<0.001). Maternal oral hygiene practice was associated with maternal attitude towards oral health (ƅ= 0.33, SE= 0.13, p= 0.012) and maternal oral health (ƅ= 0.18, p<0.001). Child oral hygiene practice was associated with maternal oral hygiene practice (ƅ= 0.33, SE= 0.06, p= 0.012),  maternal oral health knowledge (ƅ= 0.91, SE= 0.18, p<0.001), and parenting time (ƅ= 1.39, SE= 0.18, p<0.001).Conclusion: Dental caries is associated with sweet food intake, poor child oral hygiene practice, and poor maternal oral health knowledge. Maternal knowledge, attitude, and practice in oral hygiene have an important role on dental caries in mentally disabled adolescents.Keywords: dental caries, adolescents, maternal oral health practice, social learning theoryCorrespondence: Anggia Rahmah Nursani.
