Abstract

Background: Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic, school closures and social distancing measures have introduced challenges that may contribute to sleep issues in children and adolescents. Delving into the exploration of sleep hygiene practices becomes crucial for a comprehensive understanding of these practices during this unique period. Purpose: This scoping review aims to comprehensively synthesize existing literature on how the Covid-19 pandemic has influenced the sleep behavior, encompassing aspects like physical activity, screen time, and substance use among children and adolescents aged 5-19 years. Methods: The extensive literature searches across five databases (Ebsco, Pubmed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar). Out of the 1278 references initially identified, a meticulous screening process led to the inclusion of 41 eligible studies for thorough analysis. Results: Among the 41 studies analyzed, 29 focused on physical activity, 14 explored screen time, and 10 delved into substance use. Notably, a majority of participants exhibited a reduction in sleep duration during lockdown. Physical activity was primarily impacted by a decrease in its duration, and recommended interventions for increasing physical activity included home-based, online-based, and mixed interventions. The majority of participants experienced an increase in screen time, engaging in academic and leisure activities. Interestingly, substance use behaviors declined amidst the pandemic situation. Conclusion: Sleep hygiene behaviors have undergone notable changes during the pandemic, particularly in terms of reduced physical activity and increased screen time. On a positive note, there has been a reported decline in substance use behaviors. The pivotal role of parents emerges as crucial in fostering positive behaviors among children and adolescents during these challenging times.

Abstract

The National HIV/AIDS Strategy predicts that 86% of people with HIV (PLHIV) worldwide will know their HIV status by 2022, the remaining 14% do not know that they have HIV and still need access to HIV testing services. As an effort to realize the Sustainable Development Goals and to reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS by 2030, the Indonesian Ministry of Health needs to design and implement appropriate prevention mechanisms related to HIV/AIDS by conducting early detection of HIV, namely by empowering Community Health Centers to provide HIV testing services and counseling. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing HIV testing at Public Health Centers among women of childbearing age in Indonesia. This study uses a cross-sectional design with data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (SDKI). Data were analyzed using the logistic regression. The variable in this study were demographic sharacteristics and HIV testing. HIV testing at Public Health Centers among childbearing age in Indonesia was at 32.5%. Several factors influencing HIV testing were identified, including region (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.10 - 1.35), wealth index (OR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.74 - 0.91), residence (OR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.74 - 0.91), health insurance coverage (OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.04 - 1.27), level of knowledge (OR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.83 - 1.01), stigma (OR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.73 - 0.90), and AIDS knowledge source from health professionals (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.70 - 2.12). To optimize HIV testing coverage, healthcare workers should enhance awareness by providing comprehensive HIV/AIDS education. This can be done through various media, such as posters, brochures, and community-involved seminars. The government must ensure HIV testing services are accessible in all regions, including rural and remote areas. Additionally, continuous monitoring and evaluation of HIV testing programs at Public Health Centers are necessary. This will help improve and tailor programs to meet community needs and address influencing factors effectively.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is critical for adolescents’ health and well-being; however, challenges such as limited water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities, stigma, and lack of education persist in low- and middle-income countries. In Indonesia, most studies have focused on knowledge and attitudes rather than the determinants of practices, leaving this area underexplored.Purpose: This study aimed to identify the determinants of menstrual hygiene management practices among adolescents.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted online with 365 females aged 12 to 24 years using purposive sampling. Data collection tools included the Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) questionnaire, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and demographic questionnaires. Associations were analyzed using independent t-test, Pearson correlation, and linear regression.Results: Bivariate analysis showed that higher MHM scores were significantly associated with older age, older age at menarche, higher education level, longer menstrual cycles, employment, higher family income, and urban residence. In contrast, a history of dysmenorrhea was negatively associated with MHM scores. Linear regression analysis revealed that menstrual cycle length was a significant positive predictor of MHM, while a history of dysmenorrhea was a significant negative predictor.Conclusion: Menstrual hygiene management was generally good among adolescents. Significant determinants included menstrual cycle length and history of dysmenorrhea. These findings underscore the importance of addressing biological and physiological factors in menstrual health education. Public health programs should integrate menstrual cycle education and dysmenorrhea management strategies to improve hygiene practices.
