Abstract

Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical role of vaccination in mitigating the transmission of infectious diseases. However, parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination are pivotal in determining the vaccination uptake among children. Understanding the factors that influence these attitudes is essential for the development of effective vaccination strategies. Objectives:This study aimed to identify the factors influencing parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 6-12 years. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among parents of children aged 6-12 years. Data on parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination, along with various demographic variables, were collected via structured interviews. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify significant predictors of parental attitudes toward vaccination. Results:The findings revealed several factors significantly associated with parental attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination. Notably, perceptions regarding the halal status of the vaccine, family support, and parental anxiety were found to significantly influence these attitudes. Parents who considered the vaccine to be halal and who received strong family support were more likely to endorse vaccination. Conversely, higher levels of anxiety were negatively associated with vaccination support. Conclusions:These results highlight the importance of addressing perceptions regarding the halal status of the vaccine, enhancing family support, and alleviating parental anxiety to promote COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 6-12 years. Public health interventions should focus on providing clear, reliable information regarding vaccine halal status, fostering family discussions to encourage vaccination, and offering psychological support to reduce parental anxiety. These strategies are crucial for improving vaccination uptake and achieving herd immunity against COVID-19. Keywords:COVID-19 vaccination; parental attitudes; halal perception; family support; anxiety

Abstract

Dikatakan hipertensi jika pada saat duduk tekanan darah sistolik mencapai 140 mmHg atau lebih dan tekanan darah diastolic mencapai 90 mmHg atau lebih (Kemenkes RI,2018). Data hipertensi di puskesmas Sumbersari pada tahun 2021 sebanyak 1533 penderita dan tahun 2022 sebanyak 2548, dimana pada tahun ini juga kasus hipertensi menempati urutan ke 2 (dua) dari 10 penyakit terbanyak di puskesmas Sumbersari. Tujuan penelitian: Untuk melihat gambaran Health Literacy Pencegahan Hipertensi terhadap Perilaku Pengontrolan Tekanan Darah Pada Dewasa Muda. Metode penelitian yaitu kuantitatif dengan studi cross-sectional, dan desain penelitian adalah observasional-analitik dimana hal-hal yang akan diobservasi yaitu health literasi mengakses informasi penyakit hipertensi, kemampuan memahami informasi penyakit hipertensi dan kemampuan menilai pencegahan penyakit hipertensi terhadap perilaku mengontrol tekanan darah pada masyarakat dewasa muda. Dengan analisis data secara bivariat menggunakan uji Chi Square pada tingkat signifikansi p=0,05. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh masyarakat desa Nambaru Dusun 1, usia 17 – 55 tahun sebanyak 150 orang, dengan sampel total populasi yaitu 150 resonden. Waktu penelitian adalah Maret – Juni 2023. Hasil uji statistic yang tidak signifikan dengan nilai p>0.05 sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa hubungan health literacy pencegahan hipertensi dengan perilaku mengontrol tekanan darah pada dewasa muda tidak bermakna secara statistik. Hal ini dikarenakan distribusi data yang memperlihatkan bahwa dari 82 responden dengan tingkat literacy kurang, hanya 48 orang (58.5%) yang tidak melakukan pengontrolan TD sedang sisanya yakni 34 orang (41.5%) tetap melakukan pengontrolan tekanan darah. Selain itu, dari 6 responden dengan tingkat literacy yang baik, hampir semua (83,3%) yang tidak melakukan pengontrolan tekanan darah. Dari data diatas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tingkat literacy yang kurang maupun baik tidak berkaitan dengan perilaku mengontrol Tekanan Darah.

Abstract

Introduction: Based on medical record data from Undata Regional General Hospital (RSUD Undata) Palu, 120 cervical cancer (Ca cervix) cases received examination and medical treatment in 2023. This high number indicates that cervical cancer remains a major public health problem in Central Sulawesi. Objective: To analyze the risk factors associated with cervical cancer among women of reproductive age at RSUD Undata, Central Sulawesi Province, in 2024. Method: This quantitative study applied a cross-sectional design and was conducted at RSUD Undata Palu. The sample comprised 69 respondents selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using univariate (frequency distribution) and multivariate (multiple linear regression) analyses. Results and Discussion: The analysis revealed that number of marriages (p=0.009), age at first pregnancy (p=0.035), number of children (p=0.000), smoking history (p=0.016), and clinical symptoms (p=0.018) significantly influenced cervical cancer risk. Conversely, age (p=0.727), body weight (p=0.850), ethnicity (p=0.103), menarche (p=0.786), and occupational history (p=0.596) showed no significant association. A greater number of children increased risk due to repeated cervical trauma and hormonal changes during pregnancy that facilitate persistent viral infection. Conclusion: The number of children, clinical symptoms, marital frequency, and smoking history had dominant effects on cervical cancer risk, while age and body weight had no direct influence. The regression model explained 43% of the variation in cervical cancer risk.

Abstract

Introduction: In 2022, about 15% of infants treated in the NICU of RSUD Undata experienced respiratory distress neonatal (RDN), mostly related to preterm birth and neonatal infection. Objective: To identify factors influencing RDN in the NICU of RSUD Undata. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study conducted from August to October 2025 involving 43 mothers selected through purposive sampling. Univariate analysis described variable distribution, while logistic regression identified factors associated with RDN. Results and Discussion: Logistic regression showed a Chi-Square of 42.396 (p = 0.000), indicating that low birth weight (LBW), neonatal infection, gestational diabetes, and maternal age simultaneously affected RDN. Partially, LBW (p = 0.016), neonatal infection (p = 0.028), and gestational diabetes (p = 0.041) significantly influenced RDN, while maternal age (p = 0.417) did not. Conclusion: LBW, neonatal infection, and gestational diabetes significantly contributed to RDN, with LBW as the most dominant factor.

Culture emerged as the most dominant factor, followed by literacy, education, self-identity, and income. Adolescents with these favorable conditions are more likely to reject early marriage practices.
