It was conducted at Ngujang and Gunung Bolo  prostitution areas, Tulungagung, East Java, from November to December 2017. A total sample of 90 female sex workers was selected for this study. The dependent variable was consistency of condom use. The independent variables were age, marital status, education, urban-rural residence, exposure to information from health personnel. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire and diary.

Abstract

Background: Dynamic changes of disease development call for improvement in health care. In light of this context, public health nursing with home care has an increasing role in the management of diseases. Comprehensive public health nursing requires partnership between healthcare providers, patients, and their environment. In Indonesia the focus of nursing remains on hospital care, while rarely on home care that fulfils the need of the community. This study aimed to examine the implementation of public health nursing, encompassing its objective, resources, and work procedure, on home care patients.  Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with case study approach. This study was carried out at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Surakarta, from February to March 2017. The key informants of this study included nurses, home care coordinator, doctors, dieticians, and physiotherapists. Methods of data collection included interview, observation, and archival review. Data were analyzed in stages normally employed in case study.Results: The objectives of home care have generally been understood by most health providers. On the other hand the objectives of home care have not well-understood by the families of the patients, leading to inconsistency with the objective. There is a need to increase resources necessary for the nurses, particularly improvement in competency, as well as case selection, review, planning, coordinating, and evaluation. Likewise, collaboration between health care provider, patients, and their families, need to be improved in order to maximize home care.Conclusion: There is a need to strenghten commitment of all parties involved in home care. The objectives of home care need to be understood by all parties. Hospitals are expected to have stronger responsibility with both work procedure in order to deliver optimal health care. By doing so, the public health nursing with home care will be able to fulfil the need of the community.Keywords: home care, objective, resources, work procedureCorrespondence: Ratih Novitasari, Masters Program in Public Health, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta.

The increasing prevalence of obesity in Indonesia, including in Sukoharjo Regency, is a serious concern because obesity contributes to various non-communicable diseases. This study aims to analyze the influence of the Health Belief Model (HBM) application on obesity prevention behavior among female adolescents at PPTQ Al Rasyid Kartasura, Sukoharjo, Central Java.

The study sample was 210 students who were selected by an exhaustive sampling technique. The data collection instrument was in the form of a structured questionnaire that measured the HBM constructs, namely perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression. The dependent variable was obesity prevention behavior. Results: Obesity prevention behaviors increased with high perceived susceptibility (b= 0.17; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.34; p= 0.022), perceived severity (b= 0.17; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.34; p = 0.022), perceived benefits (b= 0.31; 95% CI= 0.03 to 0.59; p= 0.028), cues to action (b= 0.25; 95% CI= 0.02 to 0.49; p= 0.033), self-efficacy (b = 0.19; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.37; p= 0.045), and decreased with the high perceived barriers (b = -0.18; 95% CI= -0.35 to -0.01; p= 0.046). Conclusion: High perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, cues to action, and self-efficacy, as well as low perceived barriers, contribute to improving obesity prevention behaviors among female adolescents.
