Abstract

Background: Tangerang City experienced a significant increase in measles cases in 2023, with 114 laboratory-confirmed cases out of 484 suspected cases, despite achieving a complete basic immunization coverage of 106.4%. This phenomenon suggests that additional factors may have contributed to the occurrence of measles and warrant further investigation. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing measles incidence among children under five years of age in Tangerang City in 2023.Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design with a total sample of 137 children under five who underwent laboratory examination. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test to identify associations between independent variables—namely immunization status, nutritional status, history of contact, parental education, parental occupation, and family income—and measles incidence.Result: Factors significantly associated with measles incidence were immunization status (PR = 1.62; p = 0.045 for unvaccinated children and PR = 2.22; p = 0.021 for children with incomplete immunization) and a history of contact with measles cases (PR = 4.17; p < 0.001). Other factors, including nutritional status, parental education, parental occupation, sex, and family income, were not statistically significant.Conclusion : Incomplete immunization status and a history of close contact with measles patients are the primary risk factors for measles incidence in Tangerang City. Recommended measures include strengthening immunization coverage, enhancing surveillance, and improving community education to prevent measles transmission.

Abstract

Background: Caregivers of individuals with severe mental disorders provide daily care, emotional support, and medication management, placing them at risk of psychological distress and reduced quality of life. Acupressure, a healing touch therapy, may help reduce psychological distress and promote relaxation. This study aimed to examine the effect of acupressure therapy on depression, anxiety, and stress among caregivers of individuals with severe mental disorders in Sawit District, Boyolali Regency.Methods: This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design. Participants were assigned to an intervention group (n = 36), which received acupressure therapy at the EX-HN3, HT7, GV20, LR3, PC6, and GB21 acupoints for three weeks, or a control group (n = 36) that received no intervention. Depression, anxiety, and stress were assessed before and after the intervention using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-42).Result: Acupressure did not significantly reduce depression (p-value = 0.108) or anxiety (p-value = 0.550), based on changes between pre-test and post-test scores (Δ), suggesting a possible Hawthorne effect. However, it significantly reduced stress among caregivers of individuals with severe mental disorders (p-value= 0.013), with the intervention group showing a greater reduction in stress than the control group.Conclusion: Further studies controlling for potential confounding variables are needed. Training in self-administered acupressure may enable caregivers to use acupressure as a non-pharmacological coping strategy for stress management.
