Abstract

Background: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to horrific events and experience a series of reactions after repeated trauma, stress, and scary thoughts. The risk of PTSD is influenced by several factors such as social support, perceived threat, and witnessing death. The purpose of this study was to estimate the effect of social support, perceived threat, and witnessing death on the risk of PTSD using a meta-analysis of primary studies conducted by previous authors. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analytic study. This study used the PICO model. The meta-analytic study was carried out by searching for articles from databases in electronic form using Google scholar, PubMed, and Elsevier. An article search was conducted from 1 to 28 February 2023. The keywords used were “Post-traumatic Stress Disorder” OR “PTSD” AND “Social Support” AND “Witnessing death” AND “Perceiving threat” AND “Multivariate” AND “Cross-Sectional”. The inclusion criteria for this study were complete articles using cross-sectional research, published in 2013-2023. Analysis of the articles in this study used RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 22 cross-sectional studies from North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia were selected for thi study. Social support has a lower risk of experiencing PTSD by 0.38 times compared to people who do not receive social support (aOR=0.38; 95% CI= 0.18 to 0.77; p= 0.007). People with perceived threats have a risk of experiencing PTSD by 2.29 times compared to people without perceived threats (aOR= 2.29; 95% CI= 1.58 to 3.33; p<0.001). People who witness death have a risk of experiencing PTSD by 1.63 times compared to people who do not witness death (aOR= 1.63; 95% CI= 1.23 to 2.15; p<0.006). Conclusion: Social support can significantly reduce the risk of PTSD. Perceived threat and witnessing death can significantly increase the risk of PTSD.

Abstract

Background: Studies have shown that sexual assault can lead to the profound impact on the victims. It may last short or long, and can even generate a "ripple effect" of negative symptoms in the affected workplace or living environment. This study aimed to explore the psychological and biological impacts of sexual assault and approach to cope with the trauma in female adolescent victims in Surakarta.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study conducted in Surakarta, Central Java. The informants were social workers working at Yayasan KAKAK, a non-government organization dealing with sexual harassment issues. The data were collected by in-depth interview. The informants provided information about psychological and biological impacts of sexual harassment as well as the approach to cope with the trauma in female adolescent victims in Surakarta.Results: The psychological impacts of sexual harassment included anger, fear, self-consciousness or embarrassment, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite. According to the information provided by the informants, the victim’s life turned into a misery, and school became a place to be avoided. The sexual attacks led to feelings of demoralization and humiliation, causing loss of self-confidence and self-esteem. The victims were reported as having trouble studying or paying attention, less able to perform well, participating less, no longer going to study group, thinking about dropping a class or even leaving the school. Victims experienced symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nightmares and anxiety attacks. Yayasan KAKAK assisted victims by supporting and guiding about steps to be taken to protect victims and to cope with the aftermath.Conclusion: Sexual harassment has serious emotional and biological effects on adolescent victims. According to this research finding, one of the greatest mitigating factors to trauma is the acknowledgment that it is happening. Victims of sexual harassment should be assisted to find support and guidance about what steps can be taken to protect themselves and how to cope with the aftermath.Keywords: sexual harassment, female adolescent, copingCorrespondence: Nila Widya Keswara.

Abstract

Background: The negative stigma is inherent in transvestites because it is referred to as one of the sources of the spread of STIs and HIV/ AIDS viruse. In their position as a sex worker who was considered very low and lack of knowledge about reproductive health, the transvestites were infected with STIs and the HIV virus from their sexual partners. This happened because of a lack of information about reproductive health and access to health services for queer. This study aimed to analyze perceived benefit of condom use domination on the perceived benefit of sexually transmitted infection screening on queer.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with phenomenological approach. Seven representative informants were selected by purposive sampling. The data were collected by in-depth interview and focus group discussion. The number of informants at the focus group discussion was eight people.Results: Most of the informants believed that they were able to avoid or recover from STIs by using safety, namely condoms. They are more convinced that by applying condoms to their partners, it will be more useful as prevention of STIs compared to STI screening, on the grounds that practical condoms are easy to carry and do not hurt when having sexual intercourse.Conclusion: All transvestites believe that STI screening can be beneficial to their health, but the reality in their behavior is that they believe in condoms as a means of preventing STIs.Keywords: condom, STI screening service, queerCorrespondence:

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that can affect individuals across all age groups, including the productive age population, largely due to changes in lifestyle. The implementation of tertiary prevention behaviors is essential to prevent disease complications such as coronary heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and liver disease. This study aimed to analyze the application of Social Cognitive Theory in relation to tertiary prevention behaviors among patients with hypertension. Subjects and Method: This analytic observational study employed a cross-sectional design. The study subjects were patients with hypertension of productive age (15–64 years) in Tulungagung Regency, selected using a non-proportional random sampling technique, with a total sample of 220 participants. Data were collected using a research questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Multivariate data analysis was conducted using path analysis to examine both direct and indirect effects among variables. Results: There were direct and statistically significant effects of observational learning (b = 0.13; 95% CI = 0.01 to 0.24; p = 0.028), self-efficacy (b = 0.20; 95% CI = 0.05 to 0.35; p = 0.008), and attitude (b = 0.31; 95% CI= 0.17 to 0.45; p < 0.001) on tertiary prevention behaviors. Education was not significantly associated with tertiary prevention behaviors. Age (b = 0.17; 95% CI= 0.05 to 0.29; p = 0.005) and tertiary prevention behaviors (b= −0.38; 95% CI = −0.49 to −0.27; p < 0.001) showed direct and significant effects on blood pressure. Sex was not significantly associated with blood pressure. Social support, outcome expectations, and age had indirect effects on tertiary prevention behaviors through self-efficacy. Conclusion: There are direct effects of observational learning, attitude, and self-efficacy on tertiary prevention behaviors, as well as indirect effects of social support, outcome expectations, age, and education on tertiary prevention behaviors. In addition, age, sex, and tertiary prevention behaviors have direct effects on blood pressure.
