Abstract

Introduction: High number of COVID-19 cases cause various effects, namely increased anxiety and depression in pregnant women, who are susceptible to transmission. To prevent further transmission, a vaccination policy was implemented which then elicited various responses. Low percentage of pregnant women’s willingness to be vaccinated was found. This happened because of anxiety and hesitancy towards COVID-19 vaccine among them. Objective: Knowing the correlation between the level of anxiety in pregnant women towards COVID-19 vaccine and the decision to accept COVID-19 vaccine at Abadijaya Public Health Center, Depok. Methods: Analytic with cross sectional method is used. Population and sample of this study were 96 pregnant women who visited Abadijaya Public Health Center, Depok. Results: Analysis conducted using chi squared and fisher’s exact test shows majority of pregnant women do not experience symptoms of anxiety (50%), no correlation between age, gestational age, gravidity, occupation and education level on the decision to accept COVID-19 vaccine, and correlation between pregnant women’s anxiety levels and the decision to accept COVID-19 vaccine was found (p value = 0.000). Conclusion: There is a correlation between anxiety levels in pregnant women towards COVID-19 vaccine and the decision to accept COVID-19 vaccine at Abadijaya Public Health Center, Depok.

Abstract

Background: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common digestive disorder, especially among young adults like college students. One factor linked to GERD is Body Mass Index (BMI). Although higher BMI is associated with a greater risk of GERD, limited data exists on this relationship in university populations, particularly at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between BMI and GERD incidence in FK USU students from the 2021 and 2022 batches. Methods: An analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted using simple random sampling. The subjects were Medical Education students from the 2021 and 2022 batches. Data collection was done through direct distribution of the GERD-Q questionnaire. Statistical analysis included univariate and bivariate methods using chi-square tests. Results: Among 100 respondents, 52 (52.0%) had GERD. Among those with GERD, 43 (29.6%) were obese and 9 (22.4%) had normal BMI. Of those without GERD, 34 (20.6%) had normal BMI and 14 (27.4%) were obese. A significant relationship was found between BMI and GERD (p = 0.011). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between BMI and GERD incidence among FK USU Medical Faculty students from the 2021–2022 batches.
