Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge about the dangers of smoking and smoking behavior and exposure to cigarette smoke in high school students. This quantitative descriptive research with a cross-sectional design involved 114 students from one Malang Senior High School, with sampling using a simple random sampling method. Using a CO analyzer, data was collected through questionnaires to measure students' knowledge levels and measurements of carbon monoxide (CO) in breathing air. The study results showed that 62% of the respondents were women and 38% were men, with an average age of 16.8 years. As many as 80% of students do not smoke, while the other 20% are active smokers. The average CO level of the students' breath air was 3.34 PPM, with active smokers showing significantly higher CO levels (7.74 PPM) compared to passive smokers (2.06 PPM) and non-smoking students (2.61 PPM). The ANOVA statistical test showed a significant difference in CO levels between groups (p < 0.05). Although the level of students' knowledge about the dangers of smoking was relatively high (average pretest 124), no significant relationship was found between knowledge and smoking behavior (p = 0.802). The study concluded that although knowledge about the dangers of smoking is moderate, smoking behavior among male students remains high, suggesting the need for more in-depth interventions to address the social and psychological factors that support smoking behavior.

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a growing global health problem. Early screening and a deeper understanding of the risk patient profile are critical for effective management. This study aims to analyze the profiles of patients at risk for COPD based on PUMA scores and FEV1/FVC results from six public health centers in Malang City. This study used an analytical-observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Samples were purposefully selected from patients at risk of COPD in six public health centers in Malang. PUMA scores were measured using a questionnaire. Data was collected from November 2022 to April 2023 at six public health centers in Malang City. A total of 117 research subjects participated, comprising 58.97% male and 41.02% female, with an average age of 47 years. Most subjects were active smokers (43.50%). Based on PUMA scores (cutoff >6), 22.03% were at risk of COPD, while 77.97% were not at risk. FEV1/FVC results were >0.7 in 71 subjects (60.68%) and <0.7 in 46 subjects (39.31%). Among subjects at risk of COPD, 92% had FEV1/FVC < 0.7. There were 117 subjects screened for the early detection of COPD. The results of the PUMA* score can help health practitioners in identifying patients at risk of COPD.

Abstract

Tuberculosis has emerged as a major global health challenge. Public knowledge about TB is crucial for its prevention, early detection, and management. Research conducted by the World Health Organization indicates that a good level of knowledge about Tuberculosis among the public can significantly enhance symptom recognition, timely medical care, and reduce the stigma. This study aims to describe the TB knowledge of SMK Telkom Malang students. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 415 students, of whom 336 completed both assessments. TB knowledge was measured using a 10-item validated questionnaire and categorised as good, sufficient, or poor. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical analysis. They were then given health education about TB, after receiving health education about TB, 69 students did not consent to continue the study or complete the posttest and were therefore excluded, leaving 336 students as sample. Pretest demonstrated 225 students (67%) with good knowledge, 93 students (27,7%) with sufficient knowledge, and 18 students (5,3%) with poor knowledge, the overall median was 80, while posttest analysis revealed 264 students (78.6%) with good knowledge, 66 students (19.6%) with sufficient knowledge, and 6 students (1,8%) with poor knowledge, the overall median was 90 . The scores were compared using the Wilcoxon test with significantly improved score with a p-value of <0.001. In conclusion, health education significantly improved TB knowledge among students. Continued efforts to integrate TB education in schools are recommended to support TB control strategies.
