Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a public health threat in tropical regions such as Indonesia, with prevention highly dependent on family behavior. The level of knowledge and family attitudes are suspected to have a significant effect on the effectiveness of prevention efforts, but there are still gaps in their implementation, as seen in the work area of the Kedungmundu Health Center with quite high cases. The research method uses a cross-sectional design with a correlational quantitative approach. A sample of 66 families was selected using consecutive sampling techniques from a population of 205 dengue cases (March-May 2025). Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed univariate and bivariate using the Chi-Square test. Most respondents had a low level of knowledge (59.1%) and a negative attitude (68.2%) towards dengue prevention, with 62.1% indicating poor prevention practices. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and the prevention of dengue (p=0.002; r=0.362) and between family attitudes and the prevention of dengue (p=0.000; r=0.632). The conclusion of this study There is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and family attitudes and dengue prevention practices in the work area of the Kedungmundu Health Center, although the majority of respondents still have low knowledge, negative attitudes, and suboptimal prevention practices.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a serious public health problem in Indonesia, with morbidity and mortality rates continuing to rise. The main prevention effort is carried out through mosquito breeding site elimination (MBSE) using the 3M Plus method, the implementation of which is highly dependent on the role of the family as the smallest unit of society. Family support plays an important role in shaping the awareness, motivation, and consistency of family members in implementing PSN on an ongoing basis. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family support and the implementation of PSN in the working area of the Kedungmundu Community Health Center. The study used a correlative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 66 respondents selected using consecutive sampling. Data collection was conducted using a family support questionnaire and a PSN implementation questionnaire. Bivariate analysis used Sommers' d test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that some respondents had low family support (37.9%) and PSN implementation was in the poor category (40.9%). Sommers' d test produced a p-value of 0.000 and a correlation coefficient of r = 0.628, indicating a significant, strong, and positive relationship between family support and PSN implementation. The better the family support, the more optimal the PSN implementation.

Abstract

Elderly people experience physiological changes, affecting decreased kidney function, purine metabolism, and the function of the endocrine and musculoskeletal systems. This decline in body function leads to susceptibility to degenerative diseases, one of which is hyperuricemia or excess uric acid. Factors associated with gout include gender, BMI, physical activity, rest habits, and diet, as these can reduce uric acid excretion. This study was quantitative, using a retrospective cohort approach. The total sample size was 153 respondents. Sampling was conducted using the purposive sampling technique and the Slovin formula. The research instrument consisted of a dietary questionnaire, The PASE (Physical Activities Scale of Elderly) questionnaire, digital scales, metline, and the GCU Easy Touch test were used. Data were analyzed using the Spearman test and logistic regression. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a good diet, good physical activity, and a BMI of obesity category I and experienced hyperuricemia. This study showed statistical results using the Spearman test, with a value of <0.001 for diet, 0.001 for physical activity, and 0.007 for BMI. The logistic regression test showed that diet was the most influential factor with a p-value of <0.001.

Abstract

Personal hygiene is an essential factor in maintaining the health and quality of life of the elderly, as aging is often accompanied by a decline in physical strength, mobility, and cognitive function that can reduce the ability to maintain personal cleanliness independently. Limited understanding of the importance of personal hygiene may increase the risk of infections, skin disorders, and other health complications, making education and awareness crucial for promoting better hygiene behavior. This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach involving 204 elderly individuals residing at the Pucang Gading Elderly Social Service Home in Semarang and Wening Wardoyo Ungaran, with 135 respondents selected using a non-probability sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires measuring the level of understanding and personal hygiene practices and were analyzed using the Somers’d statistical test. The results showed that most respondents were female (60%) and aged between 70–79 years (48.9%). The level of understanding of personal hygiene among the elderly was predominantly in the moderate category (72.6%), and their personal hygiene practices were also mostly categorized as moderate (72.6%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.472, indicating a positive and significant relationship between the level of understanding and personal hygiene practices. These findings suggest that improving knowledge through continuous education and guidance from health workers is necessary to enhance awareness, independence, and hygiene behavior among the elderly.

Abstract

Entering the elderly phase involves various biological, psychological, and social declines. Physical limitations in daily activities and reduced social interactions often trigger mental health issues, particularly depression. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social interaction and independence in Activity of Daily Living (ADL) with the level of depression among the elderly living in social care homes. This quantitative research utilized a cross-sectional study design. The population consisted of elderly residents at the social care home. A sample of 135 respondents was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection instruments included a social interaction questionnaire, the Barthel Index to measure ADL independence, and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) to assess depression levels. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. Results the majority of respondents maintained good social interaction (63.0%) and a high level of independence (85.2%). Most of the elderly did not experience depression (66.7%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between social interaction and depression (p = 0.000,  r = -0.315), showing a positive correlation where poorer social interaction relates to higher depression scores. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between ADL independence and depression (p = 0.002, r = -0.267), indicating a negative correlation where higher independence is associated with lower levels of depression. Active social interaction and maintained physical independence contribute significantly to reducing the risk of depression among the elderly in social service environments. It is recommended that social care homes increase group activities and physical rehabilitation programs to sustain the mental well-being of the elderly.

Abstract

Compliance with complete basic immunization among children under five remains a public health concern, with maternal knowledge and behavior identified as important influencing factors. This literature review aimed to synthesize quantitative evidence on the association between maternal knowledge and behavior and compliance with complete basic immunization among under-five children. A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for open-access articles published between 2020 and 2025. A total of 1,012 articles were identified; after removing 300 duplicates, 712 articles were screened by title and abstract. Of these, 521 articles were excluded, and 191 were assessed for full-text eligibility, with 171 articles unavailable in full text. Twenty articles underwent full assessment, and 16 cross-sectional studies met the inclusion criteria based on study design, participant characteristics, and data completeness. Methodological quality was evaluated using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist, and data were synthesized using a quantitative narrative approach. The majority of studies reported a significant association between maternal knowledge and behavior and compliance with complete basic immunization, although adjustment for confounding variables was limited. Maternal knowledge and behavior are closely associated with immunization compliance. Further longitudinal and intervention-based studies are recommended to strengthen causal evidence.
