Abstract

Fertility and mortality decline in Indonesia has caused the number of households with elderly members (aged 60 years and above) to grow. However, the level of their welfare is relatively lower. It leads to socio-economic problems such as elderly neglect, decreased quality of human resources, and increased government spending to improve the elderly generation's welfare. Policies to anticipate and deal with these problems need to be taken based on population analysis. This study investigates the association between the number of older people in a household and their household's welfare. Using 86,927 elderly households data from Susenas March 2019, with multiple regression analysis, this study found that the number of elderly is significantly associated with lower household welfare. The number of elderly in the elderly household has the most significant influence on the lower ratio of household welfare compared to the number of adults or children. This study also found that income, region, location, awareness of household members to utilize health services optimally, and the length of education and age of the household head is positively related to better elderly household welfare. Meanwhile, the male household head correlated significantly with a lower welfare ratio than the female household head.

Abstract

Self-medication has been practiced globally for thousands of years. As a part of primary healthcare services, self-medication forms the cornerstone of a sustainable healthcare system supporting universal health coverage, which is targeted in Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), target 3.8. This study aims to provide an overview of self-medication behaviors and the factors influencing them among residents of Central Java Province. Using data from the 2021 National Socio-Economic Survey provided by the BPS-Statistics Indonesia, the sample size of this study includes 19,998 individuals, with 82.1% engaging in self-medication. The prevalence of self-medication is higher among males (84.0%) compared to females (80.6%). Self-medication is more common among individuals who are employed, live in rural areas, are unmarried, do not have health insurance, use the internet, are not poor, or have health complaints that do not interfere with daily activities, compared to their corresponding counterparts. The proportion of self-medication decreases with increasing age or higher education levels. Further binary logistic regression analysis identifies that the propensity for self-medication is higher among males (OR=1.16; 95% CI: 1.07-1.26), employed individuals (OR=1.40; 95% CI: 1.30-1.52), unmarried individuals (OR=1.17; 95% CI: 1.07-1.28), those without health insurance (OR=1.32; 95% CI: 1.20-1.44), the poor (OR=1.16; 95% CI: 1.02-1.31), those with health complaints that do not disrupt daily activities (OR=1.54; 95% CI: 1.43-1.66). The government needs to provide education and information regarding safe and responsible self-medication practices to at-risk groups, such as those with lower education levels, those without health insurance, and the poor, to maximize the benefits of self-medication and minimize the negative impacts of self-medication behaviors.

Abstract

The achievement of unmet need for family planning in the last two years has decreased from 14,7 percent in 2022 to 11,5 percent in 2023. However, that rate is still high because 2024 RPJMN target of unmet need for FP in Indonesia is 7,4 percent. The policies made by the government to reduce unmet need for FP are utilizing ICT and improving access to family planning services. Thus, this research aims to study the relationship between utilizing ICT and access with unmet need for FP in Indonesia. Based on data from 2017 IDHS, the analytical method used in this research are binary and multinomial logistic regression. The results show that the variable of ICT’s devices has a negative relationship with total unmet need for FP, for spacing, and limiting births. Internet has a positive relationship with total unmet need for FP and for spacing births, but negative relationship with unmet need for limiting births. Access to family planning services has a negative relationship with total unmet need for FP and for limiting births. So, it can be concluded that reducing the womens’s opportunities to have unmet need for FP can be done by utilizing ICT and access to FP services.
