Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS has garnered public attention due to the challenges in its effective control, with its prevalence continuing to rise until 2019. Despite its global impact, public awareness of this disease remains limited. The perspective of the community on People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the Aceh region offers unique insights, indicating existing issues in the community environment. However, a comprehensive understanding of these issues is still lacking. This study aims to explore the challenges related to the Acehnese people's perspective towards PLWHA.Method: A qualitative ethnographic design was employed, focusing on the subjective approach to understanding the perspectives of the Acehnese Community. In-depth interviews were conducted with 8 participants. The researcher served as a human instrument, directly involved in collecting and interpreting the data. Data were analyzed descriptively using iterative coding and thematic categorization.Result: The study identified three themes related to the perspective of the community on People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA): (1) Community Knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS and PLWHA, (2) Experiences of the Acehnese Community with HIV/AIDS and PLWHA and (3) Community Values towards HIV/AIDS and PLWHA. Individuals with knowledge about HIV/AIDS can provide proper care for PLWHA patients, fostering an understanding of transmission dynamics. Society exhibits positive attitudes towards PLWHA when exposed to sufficient information. Conversely, negative perceptions arise when society attributes the disease to certain behaviors or considers it as a curse, leading to non-acceptance and ostracism. The perspectives imposed on PLWHA significantly influence their perception of the surrounding community. Community knowledge is crucial in shaping these perspectives, particularly from individuals with experience caring for PLWHA. Society holds both positive and negative values concerning HIV/AIDS and PLWHA.

Abstract

Background: Optimal growth and development will produce qualified human resources. Achieving optimal growth and development requires support from various sectors, including parents, the community, and the government. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and awareness of mothers and the community regarding child growth and development in Wonosobo Regency, Central Java.Method: This qualitative study was conducted in Wonosobo, Central Java, in 2019. Data were collected using FGD with mothers of under-two children and cadres (two groups) and interviews with health workers and related stakeholders (10 informants). The data collected was then analyzed using thematic analysis.Result: The results showed that several themes related to child growth and development were identified, namely knowledge about child growth, development, stunting, and children’s growth and development problems (signs, causes, and prevention). Mothers and the community have the proper knowledge about child growth and development. However, there is still a low awareness of when a child needs special attention due to growth and development problems in mothers’ groups. Within the mothers’ group, the knowledge of growth and development mostly comes from their prior experience. Meanwhile, most of the community’s knowledge about child growth and development has been in line with health indicators. Bringing existing programs closer to the mothers could be an effort to increase knowledge and awareness about child growth and development.

Abstract

Background: WHO and UNICEF advocate exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of baby’s life and continue with complementary foods for up to two years, supporting the 2030 SDGs target for optimal health during the first 1000 days. The success of exclusive breastfeeding is still limited in some areas; therefore, it is necessary to establish breastfeeding support groups. Effective breastfeeding also requires educational interventions that change attitudes, knowledge, and skills in breastfeeding support groups. This study aims to determine the effect of breastfeeding counseling training on the knowledge, attitude, and skills of breastfeeding support groups.Method: The study was conducted in three villages in the work area of the Pesantren (Islamic Boarding House) II Public Health Center Kediri: Jamsaren, Tosaren, and Pakunden villages. The study was administered from January to February 2020.  The sample was taken with Purposive Sampling, and the number of samples was 60, varying from pregnant women, nursing mothers, husband/family, cadres, and midwives. This study used a quasi-experiment with one group pre-test-post-test design where all respondents did a pre-test, got lactation counseling training, and then took a post-test. The questionnaire evaluated knowledge, attitudes, and skills, and assessed by modifying lactation counseling training observation sheets from WHO.Result: This study exercised a quasi-experimental model with one group pre-test-post-test design. Data were analyzed univariately, while comparative testing was carried out bivariate using the Wilcoxon test, and the Mann-Whitney. Wilcoxon's analysis showed that breastfeeding counseling training had an influence on the knowledge (p=0.000), attitudes (p=0.001), and skills (p=0,000) of the breastfeeding support group. Breastfeeding counseling training is effective in increasing knowledge, attitudes, and skills. It was expected that the Health Department and Public Health Center implement it regularly with wider coverage and automatically create a new breastfeeding support group.

Abstract

Background: Pornography is one of the factors contributing to the decline in productivity among today's youth. Excessive pornography consumption is an issue among today's youngsters. The widespread consumption of pornography can lead to free sex in today's youth, as well as unplanned pregnancies. The purpose of this study is to compare attitudes, perceptions of behavior control, intentions, and actions related to online pornography consumption in adolescents attending public and private schools in Semarang City.Method: This study used a cross-sectional design with 1,844 stratified random samples. Secondary data from the website http://sehariku.dinus.ac.id comprised participants ranging from junior and senior high school (including vocational schools) to university students. The Mann-Whitney non-parametric test was employed to do a bivariate analysis and compare these variables between the two groups.Result: The findings revealed that the majority of respondents were women (55.4%), in early adolescence (50.6%), and lived with their parents (74.2%). Compared to private schools, public schools had better attitudes (mean rank 937.04), perceptions of behavior control (mean rank 950.37), intents (mean rank 932.73), and behavior (mean rank 927.26). However, no significant difference was found between attitude (p-value 0.129), conduct (p-value 0.584), and intention (p-value 0.288). Only the perceived behavior control variable differed substantially across public and private schools (p=0.004). In this regard, private and public schools are primarily comparable. Some private educational foundations must devise an effective method to increase students' perceived behavior control over pornography, at least to compete with public schools.

Abstract

Background: The presence of comorbidities in pre-elderly with HIV can worsen the disease symptoms, and disabilities, and lead to the emergence of depressive symptoms. Depression in the pre-elderly can cause a decrease in quality of life and failure to achieve successful aging. This study aims to determine the association between comorbidities and the level of depression among pre-elderly with HIV. Method: This is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional method using a characteristic questionnaire (age, gender, education level, occupation, economic status, and marital status), comorbidities questionnaire, and PHQ-9 questionnaire. This study used convenience sampling and obtained 161 pre-elderly respondents (45—59 years) with HIV among pre-elderly with HIV in DKI Jakarta. The data analysis was done using the Fisher Exact test using STATA. Result: There were 161 pre-elderly with HIV, 74,16% were men, 55,28% were in Senior High School, 72,67% were working, 76,4% had low economic status, and 44,72% were not married. A total of 59,85% have one comorbid condition. There were 81,37% with physical comorbidities, including 40,82% arthritis, 38,27% hypertension, 6,63% diabetes mellitus, and 51,55% with depression including 27,95% mild depression, 16,15% moderate depression, 5,59% moderate severe depression, and 1,86% severe depression. No significant association was found between comorbidities and the levels of depression among pre-elderly with HIV (p=0,341). The presence of physical comorbidities in pre-elderly with HIV can affect the disease progression and its treatment. However, in this study, There is no significant association between comorbidities and the levels of depression among pre-elderly with HIV in DKI Jakarta.  It is recommended that further research be conducted using in-depth interviews to explore the relationship between physical comorbidities and depression in pre-elderly with HIV.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia still has a stunting problem, even though the stunting rate has decreased. The study analyses the association of the maternal education level with the incidence of stunted children under the age of two in poor communities in Indonesia.Method: The cross-sectional data from the Indonesian National Nutritional Status Survey 2021 examined 24,920 children under two years old. The relationship between the variables was tested using binary logistic regression.Result: The odds of having stunted children below the age of two are 1.705 times greater for women with no education than women with higher levels of education (AOR 1.705; 95% CI 1.667-1.744). Primary-educated mothers were 1.178 times increased risk of having stunted children under age two compared to higher-educated mothers (AOR 1.178; 95% CI 1.157-1.199). The study analysis found no significant difference between secondary and higher education to have stunted children. In addition to education level, the study also identified six other important control variables associated with stunting in children under the age of two: residence location, age of mother, married status, child's age, child's gender, and EIBF. According to the study's findings, stunting in children under the age of two is related to maternal educational levels among Indonesia's poor communities. An increased incidence of stunting in children under the age of two is associated with lower levels of maternal education.

Abstract

Background: In East Java, the prevalence of stunting in toddlers exceeds the national average of 32.8%, while in Sampang Regency it reaches 47.9%. Stunting poses a significant challenge by hindering economic growth, exacerbating poverty, and widening socio-economic disparities. The research aims to analyze the relationship between family characteristics and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in Sampang, Madura.Method: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design in Sampang Regency.  A total of 384 toddlers and their mothers participated as the research sample. The research variables included parental characteristics, anthropometric measurements of maternal height, and maternal knowledge status. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Pearson correlation inference test.Result: The test results showed that family social status had no significant influence on stunting among toddlers. However, maternal height significantly influenced the incidence of stunting, with a P-value of 0.030.  These findings highlight the importance of addressing maternal height as a determinant of toddler stunting. Thus, intervention needs to be given to adolescent girls to prevent toddler stunting.  Such interventions could include health education programs focused on improving adolescent nutritional status to increase growth. Efforts should prioritize adolescent girls before menarche to optimize height development and reduce the future stunting risk of their offspring.

Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by brittle bone prone to fracture. The risk increases significantly with age, particularly among women. An effective approach for understanding and preventing the progression of osteoporosis is by examining bone mineral density (BMD), with diet playing an essential role. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the association between nutrient intake and BMD in female students at the University of Lampung.Method: This analytical observational study adopted a cross-sectional design. A total of 150 female students at the University of Lampung, were selected as samples using a multistage random sampling technique. The study variables were BMD and nutrient intake, specifically calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin D, and protein. BMD was assessed based on examination using an ultrasound bone densitometer, while nutrient intake was measured through 2x24h food recall. In the process, data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test.Result: The results showed that female students had BMD in the osteopenia category of 52.7% and osteoporosis of 10%. Calcium and phosphorus intake were associated with BMD in Lampung University female students (p<0.01; p=0.11), while intake of magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin D, and protein did not correlate (p=0.751; p=0.382; p =0.41; p=0.694). Therefore, meeting calcium and phosphorus needs from an early age is essential to prevent osteoporosis.

Abstract

Background: The behavior of Handwashing with Soap (HWWS) is a method of hand hygiene maintenance that protects oneself and those around from diseases. However, the habit of washing hands with soap might not be a routine practice among adolescent students in maintaining daily personal hygiene. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors related to HWWS behavior among the students of Islamic boarding school based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Method: This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample consists of 104 students, aged 10 to 21 years old (53 male and 51 female) selected purposively. The data analysis conducted to assess the strength of relationships between four elements in the TPB and HWWS behavior as well using the contingency coefficient and Spearman correlation. Result: The results of the study show that behavioral intention was strongly associated with HWWS behavior (C = 0.609, p < 0.001). Meanwhile, the four TPB elements had moderate level of associations (C = 0.484 – 0.594, p < 0.001). To conclude, efforts are needed to improve HWWS facilities and strengthen HWWS behavior through programs tailored to the students' characteristics and needs.

Abstract

Background: In Asia, more than 54.7% of postpartum mothers experience sleep deprivation, ranging from 50.9%. Massage can increase the levels of endorphins in the body and stimulate the central nervous system (CNS). This study aimed to determine the effect of Pointer Finger Friction (PFF) Massage on β-Endorphin Levels and Sleep Quality in Postpartum Mothers in Semarang City.Method: This study was quasi-experimental with a pre-posttest control group design. The population consisted of postpartum mothers in the Semarang City Health Center area, and samples were obtained by simple random sampling. The number of samples were 36 postpartum mothers who were divided into 2 groups. The treatment in the intervention group with PFF was carried out five times, starting on the first postpartum day. Venous blood was collected before and after treatment to measure endorphin levels and sleep quality. Data analysis was performed using the Mann–Whitney U test.Result: The results of the study showed most of the respondents were 23 years old and had a high school education (82.9%). The average level of β-endorphins after the treatment group was 135 mg/ml higher than that of the control group (38 pg/ml), and the quality of sleep after the treatment group decreased by 3.5 compared to the control group, with a score of 0.9. There was a relationship between the levels of β-endorphins and sleep quality between the PFF and control groups. To increase the levels of β-endorphins and the quality of sleep of postpartum mothers, we can promote and educate people about the use of the PFF massage method.
