Abstract

Covid-19 has now become an epidemic that has spread almost all over the world and has caused morbidity and mortality. covid-19 in addition to having an impact on physical health also has an impact on the social and economic life of the community as well as mental disorders due to the stigma experienced by infected people, families, and health workers. This study aims to determine the role of knowledge about community stigma towards health workers and families of covid-19 patients in Makassar City, Indonesia.  In this study using a quantitative method with a descriptive survey approach, the sample in this study was 105 respondents, which were taken by simple random sampling technique. The study found that public knowledge about covid-19 was related to stigma in the families of covid-19 patients (p=0.010) and knowledge was also associated with stigma to health workers (p=0.000). Stigma against families and health workers still occurs in Makassar City, due to the lack of knowledge possessed by the community and the existence of fake news or hoaxes that trigger the emergence of stigma against health workers and families of covid-19 patients.

Abstract

After implementing various policies to deal with covid-19, which were still considered ineffective, the Government of Indonesia is now trying to implement a mandatory vaccination policy for all of its citizens. However, the program's success depended on the perceptions and beliefs that developed in the community regarding the covid-19 vaccine itself. This study aimed to examine the Health Belief Model (HBM) effect using the variables of perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers on covid-19 vaccination intention. By using a quantitative method that was cross-sectional and involving 452 respondents who were taken using the purposive sampling method. After being analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the results of this study showed that perceived susceptibility, severity, and benefits had a positive influence on covid-19 vaccination intention. At the same time, the perceived barrier showed a negative effect. In the end, this study provided a theoretical model of HBM in predicting behavioral intention, which in turn, predicted behavior. On the other hand, this research also provided a starting point for research into the interest in vaccination against covid-19 in Indonesia

Abstract

The description of community behavior in utilizing existing health service facilities in their area can be seen from the success rate of the Posyandu program, namely the coverage of weighing children under five at the Posyandu. This study aims to examine that nutrition education interventions through community nutrition classes can increase the scope of integrated health care (posyandu) performance (D/S, N/D) in Bulukumba Regency, Indonesia. This research design is quasi-experimental. The samples in this study were mothers of children under five who were in the intervention area (n=107) and control (n=113). The intervention group was given nutrition education through community nutrition class activities, while the control group was given counseling. The results showed that there were changes in the intervention group in the form of increased knowledge of mothers of children under five, increased parenting patterns of mothers of children under five, increased levels of community participation, and increased body weight of toddlers compared to the intervention group. control group. Community nutrition classes at posyandu can be used as a model in increasing the level of community participation in posyandu because there are changes in both knowledges, child care patterns, the number of visits at posyandu (D/S), and the number of toddlers who experience weight gain from the previous month's weighing (N/D) for increased significantly.

Abstract

Aging is influenced by lifestyle, which one is by consuming excessive calories. In recent years there have been many studies on aging and age-related diseases, calorie restriction mimetic is one of them. Metformin is a calorie restriction mimetic that is attractive to gerontologists. This research analyzed the effect of metformin as a calorie restriction mimetic on fasting blood glucose and IGF-1 serum levels in old white male Wistar rats. This study conducted with an experimental study with a pre and post-test pattern with controlled group design on male rats (Rattus novergicus) Wistar strain which was divided into 3 groups, control group (K), the calorie restriction group (P1), and the metformin group (P2), 6 rats each group. Blood glucose levels were measured by a glucometer and serum IGF-1 levels were measured with an ELISA kit, where blood samples were taken from the tail of the rats. In general, the provision of metformin and calorie restriction tended to reduce blood glucose levels, but increased serum IGF-1 levels. There is a significant relationship between blood glucose levels and serum IGF-1 levels. It’s necessary to conduct further research to determine the effective dose and maximum dose of metformin to reduce blood glucose level and serum IG-1 levels which can be slow down the aging process.

Abstract

Under certain climatic conditions, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes can survive and reproduce optimally so that climate change can significantly change the pattern of disease distribution. This study aimed to model the level of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) hazard in Gorontalo Regency by integrating the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Geographic Information System (GIS) with climatological and topographic factors. The factors that most influence the level of hazard of DHF are annual rainfall, altitude, and humidity. The results obtained show that Gorontalo Regency is dominated by the hazard level class of 94852.31 ha or 44.25% and the moderate class area of 82553.37 ha or 38.5% of the total area of Gorontalo Regency. These results prove that Gorontalo Regency is very at risk of DHF disease. If this is not handled by the government properly, the moderate class will potentially rise to the high class. The prediction model for the DHF hazard level in this study can be made according to local conditions in the research area which have limited data. Changes in climate variables and periodicity that affect the incidence of dengue can be flexibly adapted to this model. The findings from this study provide valuable insights that have the potential to improve mitigation in public health-related interventions.

Abstract

The main allergen of allergic rhinitis is house dust mites (HDM), that often found in humid room conditions and furnitures. The health behaviour consists of knowledge, attitude, and practice is closely related to the occurrence of disease including allergic rhinitis. One of the methods to screen allergic rhinitis is the score for allergic rhinitis (SFAR) questionnaire. This study aimed to determine the relationship between behaviour (knowledge, attitude, and practice) on house dust mites and the SFAR score. This was an analytical observational study on female population age 17-34 years old in Jember District. As many as 141 respondents were selected using the purposive sampling technique based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using an online behaviour questionnaire and the SFAR. The primary data were analyzed statistically by chi-square test with a significance value of p <0.05. The results showed that 46 respondents (32.62%) had an SFAR score > 7, indicated allergic rhinitis symptoms. The majority of respondents (76 people or 54%) had sufficient knowledge about HDM, as many as 132 respondents (93.62%) had a good attitude towards HDM and 94 respondents (66.67%) had a good practice towards HDM. Statistical analysis showed that there was a relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practice on HDM and the SFAR score, each with the value of p = 0.000. In conclusion, good knowledge, attitude, and practice to HDM would decrease the HDM population resulting in reduce of allergic rhinitis risk, that could be screened by SFAR.

Abstract

Early sexual initiation is a public health problem and is now common worldwide, especially in developing countries. This can have many negative impacts on female adolescence, so it is very important to do prevention. This study aimed to determine the determinants of early sexual initiation among female adolescence in Indonesia. The subjects of the study were never-married women aged 15 – 24. This research was quantitative using secondary data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) with a cross-sectional research design. The results of the logistic regression showed that age, education, alcohol consumption, smoking, peer influence, boyfriend ownership, wealth, and media exposure were associated with early sexual initiation. Peer influence (AOR=27,127; p < 0.001) and education (AOR=10,909; p=0.003) are the most dominant factors were associated with early sexual initiation. This study suggests the establishment of a comprehensive reproductive and sexual health (RSH) education mechanism both inside and outside schools; use the media to reach a wider range of youth, and programs to assist parents in optimizing their role in supervising adolescence.

Abstract

The nutritional status of adolescents is one of the main challenges for health workers and the community. This study analyzed the relationship between vegetable consumption habits and physical activity with the nutritional status of adolescents. The research design used was cross-sectional. The sampling technique was carried out using the proportional random sampling method. The population in this study were teenagers in Pangkalpinang City. The sample consisted of 340 teenagers in the city of Pangkalpinang. The prevalence of malnutrition in adolescents is 38.2 with the prevalence of over and undernutrition being 31.2% and 7%, respectively. Most teenagers with good nutritional status (67.3%) have the habit of consuming vegetables frequently. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the habit of consuming vegetables and physical activity had an effect on the nutritional status of adolescents. The risk of malnutrition increased significantly by 2.46 times in adolescents with less physical activity (p = 0.016) and increased by 1.94 times in adolescents with less vegetable consumption habits (p = 0.005). The community, especially adolescent families, needs to receive education about the importance of healthy habits such as the consumption of vegetables and fruit to maintain good nutritional status in adolescents.
