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 WHO (2019) reported that approximately 10% of pregnant women and 13% of postpartum women globally experience maternal mental health disorders. Several studies have identified unintended pregnancy as a contributing factor to these disorders. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyze and estimate the association between unintended pregnancy and maternal mental health disorders (MHD), using studies that applied the WHO Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20).Subjects and Method: A systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42025634410). Article searches were conducted up to January 15, 2025, in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Scopus using the keywords: “SRQ” AND (“mental health” OR “psychological well-being” OR “mental disorder”) AND (“unwanted pregnancy” OR “unintended pregnancy” OR “unplanned pregnancy”) AND (“mother” OR “maternal”). Inclusion criteria focused on observational studies using the WHO SRQ-20 to assess maternal mental health among women with unintended and intended pregnancies. Meta-analysis was performed using R Studio, with effect sizes reported as risk ratios (RR) or adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic, and funnel plots were generated to examine publication bias.Results: A total of 12 studies from Ethiopia, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Brazil, and Malawi, comprising 85,862 participants, were included in this meta-analysis. A total of 12 studies with a total of 85,862 participants were analyzed in this meta-analysis. The results showed that unintended pregnancy significantly increased the risk of maternal MHD. This finding was consistent in both cohort and cross-sectional studies, with effect sizes of (RR = 1.49; CI95%= 1.03 to 2.15; p= 0.030) and (aOR= 1.83; CI95%= 1.35 to 2.47; p < 0.001), respectively.Conclusion: These findings highlight the strong association between unintended pregnancy and MHD. Limitations include high heterogeneity among studies, potential publication bias, and the predominance of observational designs, which preclude causal inferences. Despite these limitations, the results underscore the need for interventions that prioritize the overall health of pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: Violence against children is a serious global problem. The United Nations reports that more than one billion children experience violence every year. Childhood trauma resulting from such violence has a significant impact on adolescent sexual health, increasing the risk of early sexual initiation and sexually transmitted infections. This study aimed to identify the nature and scope of available research literature on the impact of childhood trauma on adolescent sexual health.Subjects and Method: This was a scoping review within the Arkey and O'Maley approach. The framework used in this study employed PCC (population, concept, and context). The population includes adolescents with childhood trauma, the concept focuses on adolescent sexual health, and the context is childhood trauma. The inclusion criteria in this study were primary research articles using English or Indonesian published in the last 10 years (2015 to 2025), full-text articles, and free. Article selection used Rayyan described in the PRISMA Flowchart, and the Critical Appraisal article assessment used Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI).Results: The results of the study, which included a total of 9 articles, stated that childhood trauma in children can be caused by various forms of violence against children, including physical violence, sexual violence, verbal violence, parental divorce, domestic violence, and neglect. All types of childhood trauma are significantly associated with risky health outcomes such as early sex, unmarital sex, teenage pregnancy, being a teenage parent, consuming illegal drugs and alcohol, and early puberty. Each increase in the type of childhood trauma experiences significantly increases risky sexual health.Conclusion: Adolescents who have childhood trauma are more at risk of various types of high-risk health behaviors such as early sexual intercourse, casual sex, teenage pregnancy, becoming teenage parents, at risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), early puberty, consuming illegal drugs and alcohol, and committing violence.

Abstract

Background: Infertility affects approximately one in six individuals globally and remains a growing reproductive health concern, often linked to modifiable risk factors present before conception. Preconception care (PCC) has gained recognition as a preventive strategy, however the implementation of PCC at scale remains challenged and yet its research landscape in relation to infertility remains under-mapped.This study aimed to analyze global research trends on preconception care in the context of infertility prevention using bibliometric methods.Subjects and Method: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database, with data retrieved on May 12, 2024. The search strategy included terms related to PCC and infertility, yielding 486 eligible publications after screening. Included documents were English-language publications in final form, relevant to preconception care and infertility, and classified as articles, reviews, conference papers, or book materials. Analysis was performed using Scopus tools, Biblioshiny (R), and VOSviewer to examine publication trends, key contributors, and thematic evolution.Results: A total of 486 publications from 1991 to 2025 were identified, with an annual growth rate of 6.43%. Most documents were original articles (67.7%) and reviews (28.4%), authored by 2,529 contributors across 307 publication sources. Several national strategies have formalized PCC into broader public health policy to reduce disparities in pregnancy outcomes and unmet fertility needs, but there remains a critical gap in the global PCC research agenda, such as the heterogeneity in intervention protocols.Conclusion: Research on preconception care in the context of infertility prevention has expanded steadily. However, Future research should prioritize longitudinal and interventional studies, foster global collaboration, and align with broader reproductive justice goals to strengthen the evidence base. Ultimately, enhancing the visibility and implementation of PCC in both clinical and public health domains will be pivotal in addressing modifiable infertility risks and promoting equitable reproductive outcomes worldwide.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of dementia rises sharply, and it is expected to grow worldwide in the decades ahead. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of dementia among the elderly in Jakarta, Indonesia.Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional design was employed in the Aisyah organization at Jakarta City, Indonesia. A total of 65 elderly people were selected using Stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was dementia. The independent variables were education, occupation, married status, and exercise routine. The dementia was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire, which was translated into Bahasa. Results: The participants had an education level of high school or below (52.31%), were not married (53.85%), and were not working (55.38%). The majority reported frequent exercise (92.31%), and 44.62% were identified with dementia. Bivariate analysis showed that higher education (OR = 0.92; 95% CI= 0.26 to 3.22; p= 0.002) and being married (OR= 0.94; 95% CI= 0.34 to 2.61; p= 0.020) were significantly associated with lower dementia risk. Exercise routine showed a strong protective effect (OR = 0.17; 95% CI= 0.01 to 1.79; p= 0.043), while occupational status was not significantly associated (p= 0.074). In multivariate analysis, only exercise routine remained significantly associated with dementia (OR= 0.17; 95% CI= 0.01 to 1.78; p= 0.042), suggesting it as an independent protective factor after controlling for confounders.Conclusion: Regular physical activity was identified as a significant protective factor against dementia among the elderly. Promoting exercise may be an effective strategy for dementia prevention in this population.

Abstract

Background: The majority of cesarean section deliveries use spinal anesthesia which can have an effect on the deterioration of the gastrointestinal system so that intestinal peristalsis becomes slow. Slow intestinal peristaltic function leads to difficulty defecation and prolongs the day of treatment, in some cases can increase the risk of paralytic ileus. To prevent the risk of complications, intervention can be carried out in postoperative cesarean section patients with early mobilization. This study aims to determine the effect of early mobilization on intestinal peristaltic recovery in post- cesarean section patients. Subjects and Method: This was a quasy experiment conducted at Islamic Hospital in Demak, Central Java, from July to December 2024. A sample of 58 post-cesarean section mothers was selected using purposive sampling and divided into two groups. Assessment of intestinal peristaltic variables through auscultation examination with a stethoscope and early mobilization using observation sheet instruments. Intestinal peristaltic recovery between two groups were examined logistic regression. Results: There was a difference in intestinal peristaltic recovery in post- cesarean section patients between the intervention group and the control group (p=0.000) with the mean value of intestinal peristalsis in the intervention group of 25.45 (SD=6.07) and in the control group of 11.38 (SD=7.69). Patients who were given early mobilization had a 4.48 times faster chance of recovery of intestinal peristalsis. Conclusion: Early mobilization had a positive impact on the recovery of intestinal peristaltic (p<0.05). Health workers should not only provide education, but also assistance in the implement-tation of early mobilization, especially in the first 24 hours post- cesarean section.Keywords: early mobilization, intestinal peristaltics, post cesarean section.
