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: Lengthening life expectancy of population worldwide has led to rapid growth of the elderly population. This change indicates good development progress. However, it also poses quality of life concern among the elderly. Since the elderly have limitation in many ways, their quality of life decreases, often requiring self-confidence, family support, as well as community awareness, to improve their quality of life. Quality of life is affected by physical, psychological, social and environmental conditions. This study aimed to determine the effects of self efficacy, education, employment status, income, family support, social capital, and residential status on the quality of life of the elderly.Subjects dan Method: This was an analytic observational study using cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in 6 villages, in Sidorejo sub-district, Salatiga, Central Java, from March to April 2017. A total sample of 150 elderlies aged between 60 to 74 years old were selected for this study by stratified random sampling. The exogenous variables were education, social capital and residential status. The endogenous variables were family support, self efficacy, employment status, income, and the quality of life. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: The quality of life of the elderly was directly affected by income (b=0.06; SE= 1.16; p=0.005), family support (b=0.14; SE=0.22; p=0.003), and self efficacy (b=0.79; SE= 0.11;  p<0.001). Family support was affected by residence status (b=0.54; SE=0.88; p<0,001), income (b=0.21; SE=0.40; p<0.001), and social capital (b=0.41; SE=0.02; p<0.001). Self efficacy was affected by family support (b=0.54; SE=0.10; p<0.001), and social capital (b=0.40; SE=0.04; p<0.001). Employment status was affected by education (b=0.16; SE=0.09; p=0.043). Income was influenced by education (b= 0.71; SE= 0.06; p<0.001).Conclusion: The quality of life of the elderly is directly affected by income, family support, and self efficacy. The quality of life is indirectly affected by education, employment status, social capital, and residential status.Keywords: quality of life, influencing factor, elderly, path analysisCorrespondence: Kadarwati.

Abstract

Background: The success rate of Tuberculosis treatment in Indonesia decreased by 81.3% in 2014, which below the 85% target. The current increasing problem in the developing world is multidrug resistance of Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Many factors may contribute to MDR-TB. At the individual level these factors may include adherence to medication, perception of vulnerability, seriousness, benefit, barrier, and nutritional status. At the institutional level these factors may include the availability of drugs and implementation of DOTS program. This study aimed to analyze factors that affect MDR-TB in Surakarta and Wonogiri district, Central Java, Indonesia.Subjects and Method: This was an observasional analytic study with case control design. It was carried out in August-October 2016 in Surakarta and Ngawi, Indonesia. A total of 120 patients were selected by fixed disease sampling. Another sample of 44 health workers was also selected for the study. The endogenous variables: adherence, nutritional status, and implementation of the treatment of DOTS. The exogenous variables: perception of vulnerability, seriousness, benefits, barriers, the availability of anti Tuberculosis drugs. The data was collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Nutritional status (b=-2.98; 95% CI =-5.31 to -0.64; p = 0.012), adherence to anti Tuberculosis drugs (b=-3.38; 95% CI =-5.94 to -0.82; p = 0.010), treatment with DOTS for MDR TB (b=-0.88; 95% CI = 1.43-3.18 ; p = 0.456) were associated with MDR-TB. Perceived vulnerability (b= 2.81; 95% CI= 0.99 to 4.64; p = 0.003), seriousness (b=4.47; CI 95% = 2.38 to 6.57; p 0.001), benefits (b= 3.4; CI 95%= 1.52 to 5.18; p=0.001), barriers (b =-1.81; 95% CI=-3.48 to -1.39; p=0.034), as well as availability of DOTS treatment (b = 3.14; CI 95% = 0.95 to 5.32; p = 0.002), were associated with adherence to treatment.Conclusion: Nutritional status, adherence to treatment, implementation of DOTS strategy for MDR-TB affect the risk of MDR TB. Perceived vulnerability, seriousness, benefit, and barrier, as well as availability of DOTS treatment, affect adherence to treatment. Partnership between patients and health care personnel is recommended to increase the success of TB treatment.Keywords: tuberculosis, risk factor, MDR-TB, adherence to treatmentCorrespondence: Novi Indah Aderita.

A sample of 100 parents of children aged 6 to 17 years old were selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. This sample consisted of 25 parents of children with mental retardation and 75 parents of children without mental retardation. Children with mental retardation were identified and sampled at a disability special school in Tulungagung, East Java. The dependent variable was mental retardation. The independent variables were prenatal history, perinatal history, maternal stress during pregnancy, maternal education, and family income. The data were collected by a pre-tested questionnaire. Maternal stress was measured by Holmes and Rahe stress scale. The data was analyzed by path analysis.Results: Mental retardation was directly associated with prenatal history (b= 1.17; 95%­ CI= 0.65 to 2.27; p= 0.038), perinatal history (b=­ 1.41;­ 95% CI= 0.87 to 2.73; p= 0.037), and maternal stress during pregnancy (b= 1.84; 95% CI = 0.59 to 3.09; p= 0.004). Prenatal history was associated with maternal education (b= -1.16; 95% CI= -2.17 to -0.15; p= 0.025) and maternal stress during pregnancy (b= 1.48; 95% CI= 0.43 to 2.54; p= 0.006). maternal stress during pregnancy was associated with maternal education (b= -1.65; 95% CI= 2.62 to -0.69; p=0.001) and family income (b=-1.35; 95% CI= 2.29 to -0.41; p=0.005). Family income was associated with maternal education (b= 1.70; 95% CI=­­ 0.82 to 2.57; p<0.001).Conclusion: Mental retardation is directly associated with prenatal history, perinatal history, and maternal stress during pregnancy.Keywords: mental retardation, biopsychosocial factors, childrenCorrespondence: Yani Ikawati.

The data was collected  by questionnaire and analyzed by multiple logistic regression.Results: The risk of breast cancer increased with earlier age at menarche <12 years old (OR= 2.71; 95% CI= 1.06 to 6.96; p= 0.037), delayed age at first pregnancy ≥30 years old (OR=3.01; 95% CI= 1.16 to 7.78; p= 0.023), delayed age at menopause ≥55 years old (OR=1.07; 95% CI=0.82 to 6.30; p= 0.001), longer hormonal contraceptive use ≥10 years (OR=3.25; 95% CI= 1.20 to 9.63 p= 0.003).Conclusion: The risk of breast cancer increases with earlier age at menarche, delayed age at first pregnancy, delayed age at menopause, longer hormonal contraceptive use.Keyword: Breast Cancer, Risk FactorCorrespondence: Yana Listyawardhani.
