Abstract

Background: Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections globally. Female sex workers (FSW), especially in urban areas, face a higher risk of infection due to their risky work environment and lifestyle. Jakarta is a city that has cosmopolitan and urban characteristics with an active sex industry. This research was conducted to determine the factors associated with the incidence of chlamydia infection among FSWs in West Jakarta.Methods: The research was conducted using a cross-sectional design by analyzing data from the 2018-2019 Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey (IBBS). The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test. Prevalence ratio (PR) was used as the measure of association.Results: Of the 283 FSWs involved in the study, the positivity rate of chlamydia infection in West Jakarta reached 42.8%. Significant risk factors for chlamydia infection among FSWs in West Jakarta include younger age, divorced status, recently becoming a sex worker, and having ≥ 5 customers per week.Conclusion: The high rate of chlamydia infection among FSWs in West Jakarta highlights the need to increase outreach to FSWs in order to educate them about STIs and encourage them to perform regular screenings, especially for young FSWs.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB)  is currently still a health issue in Indonesia. Indonesia is the country that contributes the second largest number of tuberculosis cases after India. Ngawi is one of the cities in East Java Province with a large number of tuberculosis cases. In 2022, tuberculosis cases in Ngawi Regency will double from the previous year with the death rate also increasing from the previous year. This shows that tuberculosis control in Ngawi Regency has not been effective. Efforts are needed to increase medication compliance in tuberculosis sufferers so that therapeutic success can be achieved so that the death rate and tuberculosis transmission rate can be reduced.Methods: This research is an analytical observational study with a cross sectional research design which aims to create a mathematical model of medication adherence in pulmonary TB sufferers in Ngawi Regency. This research involved 102 pulmonary TB sufferers at Dr. Soeroto Hospital, Widodo Hospital and Ngawi Regency Health Center. Pulmonary TB sufferers were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression tests.Result: Based on interviews conducted with 102 respondents, the results obtained were that the variables age, length of treatment, motivation to recover, self-perception, knowledge, access to health facilities, medication assistance, family support, drug side effects and health facility administration were candidates for bivariate testing.Conclusion : The variables of self-perception, knowledge, family support and health facility administration are the dominant factors influencing medication compliance in pulmonary TB sufferers in Ngawi Regency in 2023.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is a communicable disease that causes the largest under-five children death in the world. Meanwhile, Indonesia contributed 19.000 cases of under-five deaths due to pneumonia in 2018. Pneumonia can inhibit the growth and development in under-five children, cause decreased lung function or even lead to death. The pneumonia symptoms is less specific and almost the same as the flu or a common cough, makes this disease difficult to detect and difficult to treat optimally. This study was aimed to determine variables that affect the pneumonia in under-five children in Indonesia in 2018.Methods: This study used descriptive analysis and multilevel binary logistic regression. It used secondary data from the Riskesdas 2018, publication of Profil Kesehatan Indonesia 2018, and official website of Badan Pusat StatistikResult: The results indicated that in 2018, there were about 6.4 percent of under-five children who experienced pneumonia. The age of under-five children, gender, nutritional status, maternal education level, type of residence, house’s ventilation, and poverty rate per province significantly affected the status of pneumonia in under-five children in Indonesia.Conclusion : This study was expected to be able to increase public awareness about pneumonia in under-five children and can prevent under-five deaths due to pneumonia. Further research can use more up-to-date primary data and can also focus on provinces that have high rates of pneumonia in under-five children.

Abstract

Background: Cesarean section (CS) is the most performed operation globally. It’s a clean-contaminated surgery with higher surgical site infections (SSIs) risk. The mortality rate associated with cesarean section in Africa is 50 times greater than in high income settings, 11 women die per 1000 CS in sub-Saharan Africa and 14% of women suffer complication (SSIs). Proper antibiotic use can reduce this burden however effective antibiotics are running out due to inappropriate use. This study aimed to assess the pre-cesarean and post-cesarean antibiotic practices and the rate of SSIs following CS at Mbale regional referral hospital (MRRH)Methods: The study was a retrospective and descriptive cross-sectional on CS mothers between 1st January 2020 and 31st December 2022 at MRRH.  Out of the 2432 patient files reviewed, an equal number (104) of women who developed SSIs and those that did not develop SSIs (104) were selected by simple random sampling, total sample size of 208.Result: More than half (n=148; 71.2 %.) received antibiotic prophylaxis. Majority received I.V ceftriaxone (38.0%) within 15minutes (mean duration) before skin incision. 35.1% of 208 that received antibiotic prophylaxis developed SSIs. I.V Metronidazole and Ceftriaxone were the most administered after CS and Oral metronidazole was the most prescribed upon discharge.Conclusion : The rate of SSIs at MRRH was 3% similar to that of Mbarara regional referral hospital at 3.5%. Lack of antibiotics prophylaxis and poor antibiotic prophylaxix timing could explain this rateu underscoring compliance to International, National and Hospital surgical bundles.

Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS risky behaviour remains a critical health concern for adolescents, specifically at high school level. In South Africa, the rapid increase of risky lifestyles and sexual behaviours among adolescents could be mainly attributed to poor parental skills and broken family structures. Four identified sexual risk behaviours that are of concern in South Africa are age at sexual debut, multiple sexual partners, condom use and transactional sex.Methods:  Data was collected using a quantitative cross-sectional survey with samle consist with 450 male and female high school adolescents between 14 to 18 years from 3 different South African school settings. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS descriptive statistics procedure.Result: 79.7% of the respondents had only one parent still alive with 4.9 % of the respondents indicated to have lost both parents. Only 13.5% of the respondents were from a nuclear family. The majority of the respondents were (41.2%) living with grandparents. This high level of family disintegration, parental absence and  poor parenting skills in South Africa exposed 73.3% (330) of the respondents to early sexual debut, transactional sex, unprotected sex and having multiple sexual partners. The study proved that there is a statistical association between guardianship and age at sexual debut; guardianship and multiple sexual partners; guardianship and condom use; guardianship and transactional sex.Conclusion : The revealed significant high risk sexual behaviour among adolescents in KwaZulu-Natal should inform Health and educational authorities     to utilize these key findings to design more effective local strategies to train and assist parents and caregivers on parenting skills
