Abstract

BACKGROUND Toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. In Indonesia, the number of positive T. gondii findings in humans was around 53%. The transmission of toxoplasmosis from animals to humans can be through food, such as consumption of undercooked meat or raw vegetables or gardening without using gloves. Toxoplasmosis infection in women of childbearing age, especially during pregnancy, will be dangerous because it can cause premature birth, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, or babies born with congenital toxoplasmosis. This study investigates the relationship between knowledge level and toxoplasmosis prevention behaviour. METHODS This study uses a cross-sectional analytic observational study design on mothers aged 15-49 years at Puskesmas Grogol Petamburan, Jakarta, in November-December 2021. The samples studied were 132 samples. Data was collected using a knowledge level questionnaire about toxoplasmosis containing 20 statements and a toxoplasmosis prevention behaviour questionnaire containing eight statements. Data were analyzed by chi-square statistical test SPSS with significance limits of p<0.05. RESULTS Of the 132 respondents who participated in this study, 46 respondents (34.8%) had a good level of knowledge (score ≥ 8), while 86 respondents (65.2%) had a poor level of knowledge. A total of 91 respondents (68.9%) had very good preventive behavior, 26 respondents (19.7%) had good preventive behavior, and 15 respondents (11.4%) had poor preventive behavior. The chi-square statistical test results showed no significant relationship between the level of knowledge and toxoplasmosis prevention behavior (p=0.867). CONCLUSION Toxoplasmosis preventive behavior in women of childbearing age at Grogol District Health Center was not depend on the level of knowledge of toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis preventive behavior may be related to other factors that require further research. KEYWORDS: Knowledge, Prevention Behavior, Toxoplasmosis, Childbearing Age

Abstract

Background Handgrip strength and endurance are some of the ways that can be done to examine the muscle quality of adolescents as well as their physical fitness. It is influenced by various internal and external factors, including body mass index, gender, age, and smoking habits. Handgrip strength can be an important parameter for health. Adolescents with lower muscle strength have an increased mortality rate in adulthood. Thus, this study aimed to determine the factors associated with handgrip strength and endurance in adolescence. Methods The study used analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach using consecutive non-random sampling on 58 adolescents between 15-23 years old. The instruments used a scale and microtoise to measure body mass index, and a hand dynamometer to measure handgrip strength and endurance. The data was analyzed by the Chi-square test using the SPSS program with p<0.05. Results Of the 58 respondents consisting of 48.27% men, and 51.72% women, there were 58.62% normal BMI and 70.68% did not smoke. The percentage of respondents who had weak grip strength was lower (44.82%) compared to weak grip endurance (55.17%). There was no significant relationship between gender and handgrip endurance; body mass index and handgrip strength as well as handgrip endurance; cigarette consumption and handgrip strength. Moreover, there was found a significant relationship between gender and handgrip strength (p=0.000) and between cigarette consumption and handgrip endurance (p=0.011). Conclusions Handgrip strength and endurance were more in the weak-medium category. There was no significant relationship between gender and handgrip endurance; body mass index and handgrip strength as well as handgrip endurance; cigarette consumption and handgrip strength. Moreover, there was found a significant relationship between gender and handgrip strength and between cigarette consumption and handgrip endurance.
