Abstract

Background: Aging can cause increased work of breathing and decreased respiratory muscle strength. Furthermore, males and females have different measures of lung function. This alone can become a reason for decreased lung function, especially if there is a history of Covid-19 infection which can cause further damage to the lungs. Purpose: This study investigates the correlation between age and sex differences in the Forced Vital Capacity value of Covid-19 survivors. Method: Using a cross-sectional design with a survey and observational method, this study involved 46 participants that were selected purposively based on their history of being positively diagnosed Covid. Data was collected using a questionnaire and observational form to collect data from the spirometer, then analyzed with the Pearson test and Independent Sample T-test. Result: The result shows that age (mean = 40,89) does have a significant correlation to FVC (mean = 2.3602), with p-value = 0,017 (< 0,05). On the contrary, sex difference does not have a significant correlation with FVC value, with p-value = 0,109 (>0,05). Conclusion: This study reveals that aging can further affect the lung function of Covid-19 survivors, especially when comorbid factors are involved. Moreover, both males and females have the same risk of decreased lung function after being infected by the Covid-19 virus. However, other factors may influence the lung function of Covid-19 survivors. Further research needs to be conducted to scrutinize those other factors.

Abstract

Background: Antenatal Care (ANC) is a visit carried out by pregnant women to check the health status of their pregnancy. In Indonesia, 11 provinces have still not achieved the ANC visit target based on the Ministry of Health's 2017 Strategic Plan. The impact for pregnant women who do not make ANC visits is increased mortality and morbidity rates, undetected abnormalities, lack of information, and even anxiety. Method: This research uses a cross-sectional method. Spearman rank analysis was used to analyze data on 42 respondents at the Jatiasih District Health Center, Bekasi. Results: This study shows that there is a relationship between the frequency of ANC visits and anxiety of pregnant women in the third trimester with a p-value of 0.002 and r = 0.474. Conclusion: Pregnant women need to make ANC visits according to the regulations recommended by the government to protect their babies and their health status.
