Background: Increased blood pressure for a long time can increase the risk of kidney failure, co­ronary heart disease, brain damage, and other di­seases. In 2019, it is estimated that hyper­tens­ion is experienced by 1.13 billion people in the world with most (two thirds) living in low and mid­­dle income countries. Other study also shows that the police and military are at risk of develop­ing hypertension due to a number of factors such as low know­led­ge about healthy and nutritious food, co-workers who are smokers, and consum­ing alco­hol. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for hypertension in the police and military in the world using meta analysis. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-ana­lysis and systematic review. The articles used we­re obtained from Google Scholar, Springer Link, Pro­­Quest, and Science Direct databases. Selected arti­cles published from 2000 to 2020. Keywords to search for articles are as follows: hypertension po­lice personnel and military, or hypertension po­lice personnel and military. The articles studi­ed are 3 full text articles with cross sectional stu­dy designs and 1 full text articles with case cont­rol study design. Articles are col­lect­ed using PRI­S­­­MA diagrams, and analy­zed us­ing the Re­vi­ew Ma­nager application 5.3. Results: Overweight (aOR= 1.42; 95% CI = 1.01 to 2.00; p= 0.04), alcohol consumption (aOR­=­ 1.­55; 95% CI= 1.12 to 2.12; p= 0.007), ciga­rette con­­­­sumption (aOR= 1.45 ; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.97; p= 0.020) is a risk factor for hyper­­­tension in the po­­­lice and military. Conclusion: Overweight, alcohol consump­tion, and cigarette consump­tion, are risk fac­tors for hypertension in po­lice and military personnel.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence and incidence of Non­tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) infections in the world in general have continued to in­cre­ase in the last two to three decades. Until now i­den­tification and testing of NTM sensitivity in Indonesia is still very difficult to do in daily health services. Thus, NTM infection is still a ne­glected case and misdiagnosis often occurs. In these conditions, one of the things that is very im­portant to help clinicians in the management of NTM infections is information about patient characteristics and how the relationship of risk factors for NTM infection with prognosis.Subjects and Method: The study was con­duc­ted retrospectively using data on the medical re­cords of patients with positive culture of NTM at the Surakarta Center for Community Lung Health (BBKPM) for 3 years (2016-2018). A total of 134 samples were selected for this study with total sampling. The dependent variable is the prognosis of infection. The independent variables were gender, age, occupation, history of inhaled corticosteroid use, antibiotic therapy, and under­lying disease. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression.Results: The number of samples is 143 medical records. Most of the patients in this study were male (62.90%) and aged less than 60 years (79.70%). The majority of patients work not as far­mers (80.40%). Most patients had no history of inhaled corticosteroid use (89.50%). The­ra­pe­utic factors indicate that the majority of patients receive combined antibiotic therapy (68.5%). As many as 42% of patients with NTM infection have an underlying disease. Underlying disease in patients is mostly in the form of diabetes me­l­litus (DM) in 13.3% and in the former tuber­cu­losis in 4.9%. Based on the Chi-Square test, a sig­nificant relationship was found between the­ra­peutic factors, history of inhaled corti­cos­teroid use, and type of work, and the patient's prog­no­sis. Based on mult­ivariable testing, the factor of antibiotic therapy is the most influential variable on a pa­tient's prognosis.Conclusion: Risk factors related to the patient's prog­nosis are occupation, use of inhaled cor­tico­steroids and antibiotic therapy.Keywords: Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, risk factors, prognosis, Center for Community Lung HealthCorrespondence: Leli Saptawati.

Abstract

Background: Along with the increasing number of the elderly, there are many problems expe­ri­enced by the elderly including not educated, do not get access to health, do not have old age insurance, and do not have social support from family or friends to care for them. Elderly people had high vulnerable risk to experience various psychological and physical problems. This study aimed to analyze the influence of biopsychosocial and contextual village social capital in the elderly.Subjects and Method: This was a cross sec­ti­o­nal study conducted in Surakarta, Central Java, in December 2019. A sample of 200 elderly was sel­ected by simple random sampling at the individual level and stratified simple random sampling at the village level. The dependent vari­able was quality of life. The independent vari­ables were education, income, marital status, BMI, physical activity, locus of control, family sup­­port, social support, and social capital. The data was collected by ques­tion­naire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression run on Stata 13Results: Quality of life improved by education ≥elementary school (b= 2.72; 95% CI= 0.17 to 5.26; p= 0.036), income ≥Rp 1,800,000 (b= 2.90; 95% CI= 0.71 to 5.10; p= 0.010), married (b= 2.37; 95% CI= 0.13 to 4.62; p= 0.038), BMI (b= 4.01; 95% CI= 1.50 to 6.53; p= 0.002), good physical activity (b= 2.26; 95 % CI= 0.33 to 4.20; p= 0.022), internal locus of control (b= 2.69; 95% CI= 0.41 to 4.98; p= 0.021), strong family support (b= 2.88; 95% CI= 0.48 to 5.28; p= 0.018), strong social support (b= 2.28; 95% CI= 0.02 to 4.55; p= 0.048), and good social capital (b= 2.30; 95% CI= 0.11 to 4.51; p= 0.040). Village had a contextual effect on the quality of life of el­derly with intra-class correlation (ICC)= 40.52%.Conclusion: Quality of life improves by educa­tion ≥elementary school, high income, married, BMI, good physical activity, internal locus of control, strong family support, strong social sup­port, and good social capital. Village has a con­textual effect on the quality of life of elderly.Keywords: quality of life, biopsychosocial, elderly, multilevel analysisCorrespondence: Dwi Tour Kumalasari.

Abstract

Background: The postpartum period is the time when many women or mothers ex­­pe­rience vulnerability to various psychological pro­­b­lems that can cause significant distress for them, especially postpartum depression (PPD). The­re­fore, it is important to do depression screen­­­ing and assessment of risk factors for post­partum depression in pregnant women and new mot­­hers. This study aimed to determine the inci­dence and biopsychosocial risk factors for post­partum depression.Subjects and Method: This was a prospective cohort study conducted at Bulu, Kranggan, and Kedu health centers, in Temanggung, Central Java. A sample of 100 preg­nant women with 32-42 weeks gestation aged was selected for this study. The dependent variable was post­­partum depression (PPD). The inde­pen­dent vari­ables were marital satisfaction, sympt­oms of premens­trual syndrome, social support, gene­ral health status, and parenting self-efficacy/PSE. PPD was measured by the Edinburgh Post­­natal Depression Scale. Parenting self-efficacy (PSE) was measured by the Karitane parenting confidence scale. The data were ana­lyz­ed by Chi square.Results: 5% of subjects have a severe risk of experiencing PPD. PSE was positively correlated with PPD (OR = 10.29; 95% CI = 1.20 to 88.07; p= 0.008), while marital satisfaction, social sup­port, premenstrual syndrome symptoms and ge­ne­­ral health status were not statistically sig­ni­ficant with PPD incidence.Conclusion: PSE increased the risk of PPD.Keywords: post partum depression, parenting self-efficacyCorrespondence: Monica Kartini.

Abstract

Background: Basic health research shows that the prevalence of non-communicable diseases has in­creased, including cancer, stroke, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. The impact of these changes can cause one of them to decrease the quality of life of patients. Stroke in individuals can cause several changes including physical, social and psychological changes that will affect the quality of life. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of the quality of life of pa­tients post stroke.Subjects and Method: This study was a cross sectional study conducted at Surakarta City Hos­pital, from September to October 2019. The sample used was 200 patients post stroke. The sam­pling technique used purposive sampling. The dependent variable was the quality of life of patients post stroke. The independent variables were age, gender, employment status, patient income, fa­mi­ly income, attack status, post-stroke comorbidity, duration of illness, marital status, family sup­port, level of functional disorders, and depression status. The data were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis with the Stata 13 program.Result: The quality of life of post-stroke patients increased directly in patients with married status (b=1.79; 95% CI=0.24 to 3.35; p=0.024), have a job (b=1.93; 95% CI=0.13 to 3.72; p=0.035), good fa­mily support (b=2.17; 95% CI=0.46 to 3.88; p=0.013), and mild functional disorders (b=1.68; 95% CI=0.11 to 3.25; p=0.036). Quality of life decreased directly in patients aged ≥60 years old (b=-1.99; 95% CI=-3.80 to -0.17; p=0.032), female gender (b=-1.74; 95% CI=-3.28 to -0.19; p= 0.027), stro­­kes more than 1 time (b=-1.87; 95% CI=-3.59 to -0.15; p=0.033), sick ≥6 months (b=-2.12 ; 95% CI=-3.87 to -0.36; p=0.018), have comorbidities (b=-1.96; 95% CI=-3.67 to -0.24; p= 0.025), and de­pression (b=-1.40; 95% CI=-2.97 to 0.16; p=0.078). Quality of life was indirectly affected by age, ill­ness, marital status, family support, family income, and employment status.Conclusions: The quality of life of post-stroke patients increased directly affected by marital sta­tus, employment status, family support, and functional disorders. Quality of life was directly affec­ted by age, gender, attack status, duration of illness, comorbidity and depression.Keywords: stroke, quality of life, path analysis.Correspondence:Maki Zamzam.
