Abstract

Diarrhea is a condition characterized by increased frequency of bowel movements (BAB) of ≥3 times/day with a more liquid consistency. Diarrhea can be caused by infectious or non-infectious agents. Diarrhea can occur acutely, lasting less than 2 weeks, or chronically, lasting more than 2 weeks. The prevalence of diarrhea in toddlers is 12.3% and in infants is 10.6%.3 Based on data from the Medan City Health Office, the incidence of diarrhea in 2023 is estimated to be 66,802 cases across all ages and 32,324 cases in toddlers, with almost half of diarrhea sufferers being children. The Medan City Health Office reported the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers was 2,894 cases and adults 14,112 cases, or approximately 20.5%. Parents are one of the closest people and act as caregivers for children, so they have a crucial role in controlling diarrhea in children, including early management and prevention. Good parental knowledge, attitudes, and behavior regarding the management and prevention of diarrhea can reduce diarrhea morbidity and mortality in children.

Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) weakens the immune system and can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), making the body vulnerable to infections and certain cancers. Globally, around 35 million people live with HIV, and about 19 million are unaware of their status. In Indonesia, 48,300 new HIV cases and 9,280 AIDS cases were reported in 2017, with 62% occurring in males. Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the most effective treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and has significantly reduced mortality while improving patients’ quality of life. However, treatment success strongly depends on medication adherence. This study aimed to determine the relationship between ART adherence and the quality of life of PLWHA in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Helvetia, Medan. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from July to August 2025 using total sampling of patients receiving ART. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test in SPSS version 27. The results showed that most respondents had good quality of life (39 respondents) and good ART adherence (39 respondents), with a significant relationship between ART adherence and quality of life (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that better adherence to ART is associated with improved quality of life among PLWHA.
