Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Sex education is a prevention measure to decrease juvenile delinquency. However, the implementation of sex education runs insufficiently and it is influenced by various factors. Of those, gender is one of the factors. This study shows the results of literature reviews regarding the relationship between facilitators and the effectiveness of sex education in adolescents aged 13-19 years.Methods : This research method used a literature review, by screening literature from 4 databases; Google Scholar, Pubmed, Science Direct, and Scopus. The PRISMA flow chart was used to show each step eligibility criteria of article selection.Results: This study found 6 journals that match the inclusion criteria. There were 5 articles that show a relationship between the gender of e-facilitators and the effectiveness of sex education in adolescents aged 13-19 years, while 1 article did not show a relationship because of an imbalance in the sample between male facilitators (24.5%) and women facilitators (75.5%).Conclusion: This review highlighted that implementing class separation based on sex (single-sex education) is one of best strategies to increase the effectiveness of reproductive health education for adolescents aged 13- 19 years. Thus, it is also suggested for Health Office or NGO to adopt a separate class system based on gender.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension incidence among adults in Indonesia increase every year. Many factors affect blood pressure, such as lifestyle which include diet and physical activity. This research aimed to analyse the association between physical activity frequency and hypertension incidence in Indonesia.Methods : This study used secondary data from Indonesian Family Life Survey Wave 4 and 5 held in 2007 and 2014, respectively from 257 adults. The subjects in this study had completed data on blood pressure, socioeconomic, and physical activity in both waves. The hypertension incidence was assessed using health practitioners’ diagnosis. Data analysis was conducted in logistic regressions.Results: There were differences in age, education level, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), hypertension stage, and physical activities frequencies between IFLS4 data (2007) and IFLS5 data (2014) of the same subjects, with the p-values of <0.001. All of the physical activity frequencies (walk, moderate and vigorous) has no correlation with systolic blood pressure. The vigorous physical activity was positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure in both unadjusted (p=0.029) and adjusted analysis (p=0.017). Conclusion: The frequency of physical activity (walk, moderate, and vigorous) was not correlated to systolic blood pressures, but vigorous physical activity was positively correlated to diastolic blood pressure. For hypertension prevention, vigorous physical activity need to be reduced into moderate activities.

Abstract

AbstractIntroduction: Despite the plentiful availability of protein from fish and other essential food sources in coastal communities, coastal communities still face the issue of undernutrition. This study aimed to assess the association between feeding practices among toddlers and the incidence of stunting in the coastal area.Methods: We conducted a community-based case-control study in Gresik. We assessed the feeding patterns (feeding practice, food quality, and food safety) of 90 children aged 24–59 months using a structured questionnaire. We generated frequencies and percentages and ran a bivariate test to determine factors associated with stunting using the Chi-Square testResults: The mother’s age among the case and control group was in the ideal age category (<20 and >35 years old). Most respondents among the case group and control group had low family income (less than the wage minimum of Gresik regency IDR 4.372.030,5). Most of the respondents in the case group (57.8%) had low education (junior high school or less). The feeding pattern variable consists of three aspects. In the aspect of food quality, most of the stunting group (62.2%) indicated that children had poor food quality. In the aspect of feeding practices, most of the stunting group (53.3%) indicated that the feeding practices provided were inadequate. In terms of food safety, most of the stunting group (68.9%) had good food safety.There is an association between aspects of food quality with the incidence of stunting (p-value =0.003; OR =3,647; 95% CI 1.524-8.728). There was no association between aspects of feeding practices (p-value=0.138) and aspects of food safety (p-value=0.141) with the incidence of stunting.Conclusion: The feeding patterns of children, especially the food quality aspect, in the coastal area of Gresik Regency significantly influence their nutritional status, with a direct correlation between food quality and the incidence of stunting. There should be an increase in malnutrition interventions in this community, focusing mostly on educating individuals about improving child nutrition by utilizing the food sources that are already available.

Abstract

Introduction: Gestational hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure in pregnant women increases up to 140/90 mmHg or more for the first time at the 20 weeks of gestation, without a history of hypertension before pregnancy and no proteinuria. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for gestational hypertension in pregnant women during the second and third trimesters who lived in the coastal areas of East Flores Regency.Method: Case-control studies were used in this study. Total the case group in this study was 16 mothers, while the control group was 16 mothers. Data were analyzed using a Chi-Square test.Results: The results of the analysis showed there are significant relationships between the age of mothers (p=0.000), parity (0.000), and the history of long-use of contraception (p=0.000 with the incidence of gestational hypertension in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters in the coastal area of East Flores Regency). The most dominant and significant variable causing gestational hypertension in pregnant women during the second and third trimesters was parity (OR=22.075; 95% CI: 0.712-684.613). However, the study also found there is no relationship of gestation hypertension with consumption of foods containing saturated fat, consumption of salty foods, fruit consumption and vegetables, coffee drinking habits, ANC visits, family support, and obesity.Recommendation: It is important for the health workers to increase mother’s knowledge and communities’ awareness about age at risk and parity at risk. Thus, health providers should carry out more routine monitoring and provide counseling about 4 important factors in planning pregnancy.

Abstract

AbstractIntroduction: Productive-age health services in Bekasi have not reached the standard target of 100%. By 2023, the percentage of productive-age health services was 27.96%. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a formative evaluation of the implementation of productive-age health services in Bekasi City based on the logical framework, especially in the Mustika Jaya Community Health Centre and Rawa Tembaga Community Health Centre.Methods: This was a qualitative study with a case study design conducted over two weeks. The data were collected through in-depth interviews. The informants were selected based on the principles of appropriateness and adequacy.Results: The study found that while health equipment, funding, and human resources are generally adequate, challenges persist in data management and human resource capacity-building. The recording and reporting system, SI-PTM, requires improvement in integrated data management. There is a need for increased awareness among the target population through innovative outreach programmes. The short-term goal of productive-age health services aligns with the long-term vision outlined in RPJMD.Conclusion:  The implementation of productive-age health services in Bekasi City requires further improvement to achieve the 100% minimum health service standard. Community Health Centers in Bekasi City can enhance cross-program and cross-sectoral collaboration with productive-age health services, increase people's awareness with an innovative outreach, and ensure that human resources in productive-age health services receive training.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Pulmonary tuberculosis has a fairly high number of cases in several regions of Indonesia, including Kupang City. In 2019, tuberculosis cases in Kupang City amounted to 667 cases, in 2020 it increased to 693 cases and in 2021 it decreased to 419 cases. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis which are studied in a spatial analysis model.Methods : This research is a quantitative research with an analytical observational design using an approach to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This study aims to see the autocorrelation of population density, poor families, and healthy homes with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis and to see the pattern of relationships that are formed.The data used in this research is secondary data taken from related agencies. The samples in this study were 11 community health centers in Kupang City, namely Naioni Health Center, Alak Health Center, Manutapen Health Center, Sikumana Health Center, Penfui Health Center, Bakunase Health Center, Oebobo Health Center, Oepoi Health Center, Pasir Panjang Health Center, Kupang City Health Center, and Oesapa Community Health Center. Spatial analysis uses computer programs, namely the QGIS and GeoDa applications. QGIS was used to produce a map of the distribution of pulmonary tuberculosis cases in 11 health centers in Kupang City in 2019-2021 and the GeoDa application was used to see the pattern of TB distribution in Kupang City in 2019-2021, in general or globally through the LISA (Local Indicators Spatial Autocorrelation) tests.Results: Based on the results of the LISA (Local Indicators Spatial Autocorrelation) bivariate test, it shows that population density, poor families, and healthy housing coverage have no relationship with the incidence of TB in Kupang City (p-value > 0.05) and show a random pattern of case distribution (Morans Index ' I is smaller than E[I] = -0.1000). However, in 2019-2020, the Morans I Index value covering healthy homes was greater than E[I] = -0.1000, which shows a clustered pattern of case distribution.Conclusion: It was concluded that there was no positive spatial autocorrelation between population density, poor families, and healthy homes with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Kupang City in 2019-2021

Abstract

Introduction: Wheat flour is made from wheat which is a sub-tropical plant that can be grown easily in tropical environment like Indonesia. In response to this, efforts need to be made to find substitutes for wheat flour through increasing local food acceptability to reduce import dependence of wheat. This study aimed to analyze and determine the organoleptic differences of biscuits made from yellow pumpkin flour. Methods: This type of research is experimental with a completely random design consisting of 6 treatments, namely P1 (0% yellow pumpkin flour : 100% wheat flour), P2 (10% yellow pumpkin flour : 90% wheat flour), P3 (20% yellow pumpkin flour : 80% wheat flour), P4 (30% yellow pumpkin flour : 70% wheat flour), P5 (40% yellow pumpkin flour : 60% wheat flour) and P6 (50% yellow pumpkin flour : 50% wheat flour). Data were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test with a significance level of 1% and Mann Whitney test. Results: The results showed that the organoleptic value of biscuits with the highest acceptability from the color aspect was at P2 (3,72), aromatic smell at P2 (3,68), taste at P1 (3,76), and texture at P1 (3,52). Conclusion: This study may conclude the potential use of yellow pumpkin flour mixture when preparing wheat-base biscuits. Therefore, import dependency of wheat can be reduced.
