Abstract

Introduction: Health sciences university students (HSUS) are susceptible to HIV infection due to frequent contact with patients whose HIV status is unknown. This study aimed to compare the HIV/AIDS-related knowledge and the willingness to participate in VCT among HSUS, analyzing the differences between groups, and correlation and effect between variables. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 357 HSUS from the faculty of nursing, pharmacy, psychology and medicine at an accredited university. Samples were selected using simple random sampling. Data analysis used descriptive statistic, Pearson correlation, one-way ANOVA test, and linear regression test (α<0.05).Results: Most respondents were 20-21 years old single female who still live with parents, exposed to HIV/AIDS material twice/more via academic activities; lack of HIV/AIDS-related knowledge (51.5%), highest mean found in medical students (73.1%); willing enough to participate in VCT (83.5%),  highest mean found in nursing students (86.4%). No correlation found between variables (p=0.101), and the regression model was not significant (p=0.101). HIV/AIDS-related knowledge contributed only 0.8% influence on the willingness to participate in VCT among HSUS (R2=0.008), other unidentified factors possibly play a more important role.Conclusion: Besides knowledge, other factors like demographic factors, social determinants, close person, health education, fear, and HIV-related stigma may affect the willingness to participate in VCT among HSUS. HSUS's knowledge about HIV/AIDS was low but their willingness to participate in VCT was quite high. HIV/AIDS-related knowledge has a slight contribution in determining HSUS's willingness to participate in VCT. Further analysis of other potential factors is needed to determine stronger predictors.

Abstract

Introduction: Meditation healing exercise (MHE) using the SKT technique is popular in Bangkok, Thailand, while in Surabaya, Indonesia, it is relatively new and unpopular. The attitude towards MHE depends on various internal and external factors. This study aimed to compare the attitude towards MHE between the elderly who are living with hypertension (HT) and/or diabetes mellitus (DM) in Bangkok and Surabaya.Methods: This was a comparative study involving 96 and 100 elderly individuals with HT and/or DM in the communities of Surabaya and Bangkok respectively. The sample was chosen according to the aforementioned criteria. The sample size was 196. The instrument used was a valid and reliable questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, the Levene test, and an independent sample T test were used for the data analysis.Results: The majority showed a positive attitude towards MHE; the higher Mean and lower SD was found in Bangkok (19.43 and 2.41). Out of the total, 87.5% and 96.0% elderly had good attitude towards MHE in Surabaya and Bangkok respectively. There was a significant attitude difference in relation to the aspect of preferring to practice MHE between Bangkok and Surabaya (p=0.004). Overall, there was no significant attitude difference between Bangkok and Surabaya (p=0.17).Conclusion: The elderly attitude towards MHE was mostly positive and good. The elderly in Bangkok prefer to practice MHE more than in Surabaya. There was no significant attitude difference in the elderly who are living with HT and/or DM between Bangkok and Surabaya. The implementation of MHE using the SKT technique has a high possibility of being accepted personally by the elderly in both sites.

Abstract

Background: Cervical and breast cancers are the two top leading cases of female cancer in Indonesia. Nowadays, many survivors with various degree of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) were found in the community context. This study aimed to compare and analyse the differences of CRF intensity in cervical cancer survivors (CCS) and breast cancer survivors (BCS) generally, and in each stage of cancer survivorship, specifically.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 47 CCS and 55 BCS in the district of Rangkah, Gading, and Pacar Keling, Surabaya, Indonesia (n=102). Instrument of Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI) was used for data collection. Descriptive statistic, independent sample t-test, and one way ANOVA test were used for data analysis (α<.05).Results: Most respondents were short term survivors (43.14%) with mild CRF (66.67%) in both cases. Higher intensity of CRF was found in CCS compared to BCS. Worst CRF was found more in acute and short term survivorship in BCS compared to more in long term survivorship in CCS. There was no significant difference of CRF found between CCS and BCS (p=.63), and CRF was not significantly different between each stage of cancer survivorship in both cases (p=.883 and p=.117 for CCS and BCS respectively), but CRF intensity in the worst and lightest time possible was significantly different between CCS and BCS (p=.000).Conclusions: There was no significant difference of CRF between cases and stages of survivorship in CCS and BCS, but CRF intensity in the worst and lightest time possible was significantly different between those groups.
