Abstract

Introduction: 15.6 million people have suffered from rheumatic heart disease in all countries and this disease caused a high mortality rate of 200.00 and a high incidence of this disease from 5-14 years for men in 162 up to100.000 deaths and for women in 228 to 100.00 were dead. According to cardiology Herculano Seixas, in 2023 there were 480 patiens with rheumatic heart disease, the majority of whom were young marry have suffered from the disease at the age of >20 years, and are currently being treated at the referral hospital and the HNGV. Objective: Identification Factors that influence the occurrence of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) in the polyclinic Cardiology, the National Hospital Guido Valadares. Method: In this research using the quantitative analysis method with a cross sectional approach. Results and Discussion: Bazed on the rezultanalyzes test statistic Sperman Rank P value 0,000 demonstrates that value is less than 0,05 means that influence between factor enviroment the occurrence of Rheumatic Heart Disease and result with correlation value r = 0,540 which located between 0,500-0,774 category to strong Correlation, and factor nutrition that is significant P value 0,000 demonstrates that value is less than 0,05 means that influence between factor nutrition the occurrence of Rheumatic Heart Disease and result with correlation value r = 0,828 which located between 0,800-0,990 category is the strongest Correlation. And factor socio economic that is significant P value 0,000 demonstrates that value is sless than 0,05 means that influence between factor socio economy the occurrence of Rheumatic Heart Disease and result with correlation value r = 0,624 which located between 0,600-0,775 category is the strong Correlation. Conclusion: This survey sample has a positive and significant influence between factor environment, nutrition, socio economic the occurrence of Rheumatic Heart Disease

Abstract

Introduction: The main problem in hypertension management is the attitude or behavior towards the disease which tends to be disobedient in carrying out self-care. With good self-management, the patient's level of awareness in undergoing treatment will increase. Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a self-management model based on the Health Belief Model theory of self-care behavior at home in hypertensive patients. Methods: This study has 2 stages. The first stage of factor analysis uses an explanatory survey. The samples obtained were 135 patients in Centro Saude Comoro Dili through cluster random sampling. Results and analysis: Overall the results of testing the hypothesis for the new findings in this study can be seen that there is a significant influence of demographic factors (occupation, level of education) on individual beliefs with a statistical T value of 12,440, a significant influence of structural factors (knowledge) on individual beliefs with a statistical T value of 5,078,  a significant effect of individual beliefs on self-management with a statistical T value of 26,815 and the effect of self-management on self-care behavior with a statistical T value of 51,333. The second stage, namely FGD and expert consuls, is used as a basis for developing models and compiling self-management modules for people with hypertension. Conclusion: Demographic and structural factors have an influence on individual beliefs of hypertensive patients and individual beliefs themselves have an influence on self-management and self-care behavior. It is hoped that one of the suggestions from research for community nurses can utilize this module to improve the self-care behavior of hypertensive patients at home.

Abstract

Stunting remains a critical public health issue in Timor-Leste, significantly impacting child development and future societal progress. This literature review examines various health promotion strategies aimed at preventing stunting in the country. By analyzing key studies and intervention programs, this review highlights effective approaches, including community-based nutrition education, maternal health improvement, and government-led initiatives. The role of public awareness campaigns and the integration of healthcare services also emerge as essential components in tackling stunting. The findings suggest that a multi-sectoral and culturally sensitive approach is critical for the long-term success of stunting prevention efforts in Timor-Leste. Future recommendations emphasize the need for sustained political commitment and enhanced resource allocation to ensure the sustainability of these health promotion strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection that affects the lungs. The lungs are made up of small pockets called alveoli. In a healthy person, the alveoli are filled with air, but when a person is affected by pneumonia, the alveoli become filled with fluid or pus, causing difficulty in breathing and leading to symptoms such as feeling unwell. Objective: To explore the factors influencing the use of antibiotics in patients with pneumonia at Eduardo Ximenes Regional Hospital (EXRH) in Baucau, Timor-Leste. Research Methodology: The researchers employed a quantitative analysis approach with a cross-sectional design. Data collection was carried out using a purposive sampling technique to analyze the factors that influence the use of antibiotics for pneumonia patients at EXRH in Baucau, Timor-Leste. Results and Discussion: The results from EXRH indicated that many respondents had limited knowledge about pharmacodynamics, with 46 respondents (35.4%) reporting frequent lack of knowledge. Regarding pharmacokinetics, 50 respondents (38.5%) showed a lack of understanding, while 53 respondents (40.8%) demonstrated moderate knowledge of host factors. Conclusion: The survey results show that pharmacodynamic and host factors influence the use of antibiotics in patients with pneumonia, while pharmacokinetic factors did not appear to significantly impact antibiotic use.
