Abstract

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are major health problem. Until today, the prevalence of STIs is still high and the incidence is increasing. Almost half of STIs new cases occur in adolescents andyoung adults. It is assumed that there is a positive correlation of knowledge about STIs with attitude and practices; therefore, giving proper information of STIs to adolescents could influence their safe sexual practices, and further, it can prevent STIs to occur. The objective of this study is to discover knowledge and attitude of senior high school students in Jatinangor towards STIs.Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in Sekolah Menengah Atas Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia (SMA PGRI) Jatinangor and Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri (SMAN) Jatinangor from May to September 2013. Questionnaires were completed by 278 respondents selected by stratified cluster random sampling.Results: More than half respondents had poor knowledge about STIs (56.5%) while 53.2% of the respondents had positive attitude towards STIs. Most mentioned choices as the information source of STIs were teacher(66.5%), followed by television/radio (45.3%), friends (37.8%), newspaper/magazine (21.2%), mother (16.2%), sibling (7.2%), and father (6.5%). Conclusions: More detail information about STIs is needed by adolescents as a way to encourage safe sexual practices. Teacher and parents are expected to be the source information of STIs while mass media can alsobe used to educate adolescents. Education on STIs for teachers is also needed since they are as the main source for educating the adolescents. [AMJ.2015;2(4):568–74] DOI: 10.15850/amj.v2n4.655

Abstract

Background: Early-age marriage is still common in Indonesia, especially in the rural areas. There are many negative effects of the marriage; the young brides may get lower education, lower social status, minimum reproduction control, higher maternal mortality, higher domestic violence rate and others. Thus, this study is conducted to identify the students’ perception on the ideal age of marriage and childbearing.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from June to September 2013 in Jatinangor using secondary data from Jatinangor Cohort Survey Team. The data comprised two hundred and twenty students from Jatinangor Senior High School and PGRI Vocational School. A hundred and ten males and a hundred and ten females were chosen by random sampling. Questionnaires were given after the written informed consent was obtained from the students.Results: The results showed 74.55% of the students chose 19¬–24 years old as the ideal age of marriage for a woman and 68.64% students chose 25–30 years old as the ideal age of marriage for a man. Moreover, forchildbearing, 25–30 years old was chosen to be the ideal age for both man and woman. The percentage of students agreed to this was 74.55% and 54.09% respectively.Conclusions: Majority of the students agreed on 19–24 years old and 25–30 years old as the ideal age of marriage for woman and man respectively. For childbearing, 25–30 years old was concluded as the ideal agefor both genders. [AMJ.2015;2(4):591–6] DOI: 10.15850/amj.v2n4.661

Abstract

Background: Perceptions of patient satisfaction influence the quality of the public health center (Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat, Puskesmas) services. This study aimed to determine the differences in the level of patient satisfaction with national health insurance and the accreditation status of Puskesmas.Methods: This quantitative analytical study using a cross-sectional method was conducted at four Puskesmas in Majalengka Regency from October to November 2021 using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was the community satisfaction instrument (IKM-29) questionnaire , with the variable measured being the level of satisfaction. Data was transformed into numerical form using Rasch modelling and analyzed using the Chi-Square, independent-t, and one-way ANOVA tests.Results: A total of 273 respondents consisted of insured (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, JKN) and non-insured (non-JKN) respondents, resulting in the satisfaction mean value between JKN and non-JKN patients of 2.50 and 2.51 (p-value= 0.926). Satisfaction at Puskesmas levels 1 (Dasar), 2 (Madya), 3 (Utama), and 4 (Paripurna) was 2.15, 2.23, 2.56, 3.03, respectively (p-value = 0.002), indicating an increase in the level of satisfaction at the Puskesmas accreditation level.Conclusion: There is no difference in satisfaction between respondents using JKN and non-JKN. However, there is an increase in satisfaction related to the Puskesmas accreditation level. It is recommended for each Puskesmas to maintain the same service to all patients and improve the quality of service, especially in service dimensions that are considered inferior. Additionally, it is necessary to review the minimum standard value for accreditation programs.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) is a structured self-care program for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), including treatment adherence and complications prevention. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of DSME on diabetes-related knowledge and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) levels among patients with T2DM.  Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design was conducted from August 2023 to January 2024, involving 65 patients with T2DM in occupational health care in Cikarang and Tangerang, Indonesia.  The DSME program included five key components: (1) diabetes mellitus education, (2) medical nutrition therapy, (3) physical exercise, (4) pharmacological intervention; and (5) blood glucose self-monitoring. The intervention group received DSME in six sessions over three weeks (45–60 minutes each), while the control group only reviewed 40 educational slides for 30 minutes. Knowledge was assessed using the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24), and HbA1c levels were measured twice, six months apart. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, dependent t-tests, and ANOVA. Results: The intervention group (n=26) and control group (n=39) had similar baseline characteristics. A significant improvement in diabetes knowledge was observed in both groups. Interestingly, only the intervention group showed a notable reduction in HbA1c levels (−1.9%), from 8.5% to 6.6%. Post-intervention HbA1c levels differed significantly between groups (p<0.05), with the control group remaining at 8.2%.Conclusions: The DSME program effectively improves knowledge and reduces HbA1c levels in patients with T2DM. It is recommended for integration into occupational health care settings to promote healthy lifestyles and enhance diabetes management.
