Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is one of infectious disease that is caused by micro bacteria or virus that can cause death to children in Indonesia in which the nutrition status and immunization become risk determinant factor. This research aimed to attain information about the nutrition status and immunization as a determinant of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) among toddlers (1-4 years old) in Bandung District, West Java, Indonesia. Analytical correlational survey was used in this research by using cross sectional scheme. Incidental sampling by having 94 respondents was used in this research. The data was analyzed by using univariate and bivariate along with Chi Square statistical test. The result showed that the nutrition status as a determinant of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) among toddlers with p-value 0.029, so Ho was rejected. Meanwhile, the status of immunization as a determinant of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) with p-value 0.005, so Ho was rejected. Conclusion: The nutrition status and immunization were determinant factors that caused Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) among toddlers. Suggestion: health workers needed to improve preventive and promotive efforts in dealing with the demand of good nutrition status and the importance of complete immunization for infants so that toddlers were avoided from Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI), thus, they could grow well and normal. Keywords: Nutrition status, Immunization, ARI, Toddlers

Abstract

Exercise such as Diabetes dance of Persadia 1 is the evolvement of prior diabetes dance series with aerobic principle with more eccentric movement. Diabetes dance of Persadia 1 has been inspected effective for lowering fasting blood glucose, but its still unknown about its effect on blood level of total cholesterol. The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of exercise on total cholesterol level. This research is experimental research, with 16 subject of healthy housewifes and divided on 2 groups, that is exercise and control group. Exercise group was given with diabetes dance of Persadia 1 while control group have the unstructured activity. Blood level of total cholesterol (TC) has been measured after 24 hours post single bout exercise (acute-AE) and repeated exercise (chronic exercise-CE). Paired t-test analysis on both acute (AC) (p=0,005) and chronic (CC) (p=0,006) shows TC decrease significantly on control group, as well as on AE (p=0,001) and CE (p=0,001). However, TC tend to increase on CC though not significantly increase (p=0,916), while on CE tend to decrease significantly (p=0,041). This study shows that both acute and cronic exercise decrease total cholesterol level in human blood.

Abstract

  In Indonesia, cervical cancer is ranked first as the cause of death to women. The government has implemented an early detection program of cervical cancer in controlling cervical cancer by using Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA). Indonesian womens awareness to perform early detection is still very low with coverage of early detection of cervical cancer which is less than 5%. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is used to forecast health enhancement behavior that is based on individual behavior determined by the individuals motives and beliefs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of Health Belief Model (HBM) which included perceived of susceptibility, perceived of severity, perceived of benefits, perceived of threats, perceived of barriers and cues to act on VIA test participation. This type of research was observational analytics. The design used was case control. The sample in this study were 64 cases and 64 controls, selected by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS). Based on the result of research, there was an influence of perceived of susceptibility on participation with t value = 4.417 (>1.96). Perceived of benefit affected participation with t value = 11.647 (>1.96). Keywords: Perceived susceptibility, Perceived severity, Perceived threat, Perceived benefit, Perceived barrier, Cues to action, VIA test

Abstract

Adolescents with drug abuse are common, especially among students. Health character is needed to prevent this behavior.  Health character relates to family support, peer support, teacher support (social supports) and self-concept as the mediator between these supports and health character. This study was observational study and used cross sectional design to analyze self-concept as the mediator between social supports (family support, peer support, and teacher support) and health character. Data was collected from senior high school students in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan for two months. We used cluster random sampling also self-report questionnaires to collect the data. AMOS was used to calculate coefficient path and model fit. Sobel test was used to calculate the strength of self-concept as the mediator between social supports and health character. The results showed that the final model of social supports, self-concept and health character with GFI, AGFI, CFI, and RMSEA were 0.994, 0.996, 0.992, and 0.103. Our findings showed that self-concept was full mediator between teacher support and health character (p < 0.05). Self-concept was partial mediator between family support and health character (p < 0.05). Further research is needed to develop intervention and prevent drug abuse based on health character model. Keywords: Drug abusers, Social supports, Self-concept

Abstract

Studies have been conducted worldwide on attrition, a persistent issue affecting nursing education. Most focus on predictive factors of attrition or at-risk populations. Few focus on those who experienced it and their actual reasons. This integrative review seeks to investigate published literature, both qualitative and quantitative researches about actual or perceived factors that lead to temporary or permanent attrition among undergraduate nursing students. The review includes eight articles published in major health literature databases from 1996 to 2016. The lack of a unified definition of attrition is a major limitation in various studies. Findings reveal that there is no single reason why a student decided to leave. The complex factors identified were thematically grouped in three systems utilizing the Micro-meso-macro System Framework of personal (micro-system), institutional (meso-system) and professional (macro-system) levels. Better conceptual and operational definition of attrition is needed to facilitate more accurate reporting in institutions of higher education. Stakeholders affected by nursing student attrition need to address each identified factor in the multiple and inter-related levels to determine a comprehensive and collaborative plan to address the growing issue of attrition in nursing education.
