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: Crimes against women committed while traveling in public transportation is seldom understood, analyzed, and reported. The World Health Organization has stated that any form of violence against women must be considered a public health emergency. As a result of abuse, their overall health is impacted. This study was conducted to find the prevalence of insecurity and characterization of harassment among female passengers while traveling on public transport.Subjects and Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted in the Chennai district, Tamilnadu between November 2023 to March 2024. A total of 270 women above 18 years of age and using public transport for a minimum period of 6 months for daily commuting were included as study participants selected using a simple random sampling method. Data related to Subjective fear of traveling alone in public transport was used as a dependent variable which was collected using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire comprised of questions related to sociodemographic characteristics, having faced verbal/physical harassment, and having experienced stalking while traveling in public transport, which were used as independent variables. Subjective response to harassment was assessed using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). Data was analyzed using SPPS version 26. Chi-square and logistic regression analysis were used to find the predictors that lead to the fear of traveling alone.Results: A total of 270 participants were included in the study. The predictors for developing fear of travelling alone in public transport system were, belonging to a nuclear family (aOR= 2.12; 95% CI= 1.23 to 3.32), women who faced any kind of harassment (aOR= 2.56; 95% CI= 1.76 to 3.84), faced physical harassment (aOR= 3.92; 95% CI= 2.45 to 5.67) and faced verbal harassment (aOR= 4.11; 95% CI= 1.87 to 6.34).Conclusion: It’s not only enough to bring about policies, but the common public must be educated about harassments that happen on public transport. A special task force must be formed to apprehend the assailants.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia is in the second rank with the highest burden of tuberculosis (TB) in the world. Childhood is a period of rapid growth, the body still has a low immune system so it is susceptible to disease including tuberculosis in children which requires control efforts. This study aims to analyze the influence of risk factors and village contextual factors on the incidence of TB in children.Subjects and Method: Case-control study research was conducted in 82 villages in Wonogiri Regency, from November to December 2023. A sample of 200 children aged 0 to 4 years old was selected through fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable of this study was the incidence of TB in children. The independent variables in this study were stunting, contact history, exposure to cigarette smoke, home sanitation, gender, parental education, child age, parental income, BCG immunization status, and village contextual influences. Data on TB disease was obtained from the Tuberculosis Information System Application (SITB) at the Wonogiri District Health Service in 2023. Other data was collected through questionnaires. The data analysis was done through multilevel multiplelogistic regression.Results: The factors that increased the incidence of TB in children were stunting (OR= 10.94; CI 95%= 2.50 to 47.90; p= 0.001), contact history to TB (OR= 8.37; CI 95%= 1.60 to 43.83; p= 0.012), and exposure to cigarette smoke (OR= 7.36; CI 95%= 1.99 to 27.14; p= 0.003). The reducing factors were healthy sanitation (OR= 0.24; CI 95%= 0.08 to 0.78; p= 0.017), female children (OR= 0.40; CI 95%= 0.15 to 1.05; p= 0.062), and parents with ≥high school education (OR= 0.40; CI 95%= 0.15 to 1.05; p= 0.062). There was no relationship between age (OR= 0.93; CI 95%= 0.13 to 6.23; p= 0.940), parental income (OR= 1.14; CI 95%= 0.40 to 3.25; p= 0.807), and BCG immunization status (OR= 0.12; CI 95%= 0.00 to 105.98; p= 0.550). Village has a contextual influence on the incidence of clinical TB in children (ICC= 52.95%).Conclusion: The risk of clinical TB in children increased with stunting, a history of TB contact and exposure to cigarette smoke, it decreased with healthy home sanitation, female gender, parents with ≥high school education. There was no relationship between age, parental income, and BCG immunization status. The village has a contextual effect on the incidence of clinical TB in children.

Abstract

Background: Discrepancies in findings on assisted delivery (AD) in the Northern Cameroun persist. In order to reduce maternal mortality, it is hypothesized that specific determinants may help promote the use of AD. This study aimed to assess the possible association between these determinants and AD.Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 1,175 postpartum women, in the Lagdo health district from May 10th to June 5th, 2023. A three-stage cluster sampling technique was used. Independent variables included the factors related to AD. The dependent variable was the use or no use of AD. A validated questionnaire was employed to gather information. Data analysis was performed with SPSS software version 25. Frequencies, odds ratios (OR), and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. The statistical significance was 0.05.Results: The prevalence of AD was 43.9%. After adjustment for age, educational attainment, and parity, a direct association was detected between AD and funded delivery fees (OR=2.5; 95%CI= 1.95 to 3.40; p<0.001), and the presence of motorcycle taxi driver (OR=1.70; 95%CI =1.31 to 2.19; p<0.001). An inverse relationship was observed between AD and distance to health centers (OR= 0.32; 95%CI = 0.18 to 0.58; p<0.001), and lack of community leaders' involvement (OR=0.45; 95%CI = 0.31 to 0.67; p<0.001).Conclusion: Our findings suggest funding delivery fees, reducing distance to health facilities, and sensitizing women by community leaders may help promote AD.

Abstract

Background: Rivers are crucial to ecosystems, providing water for drinking, agriculture, and recreation, but urbanization and industrial activities have severely degraded their quality. This study aims to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of riverside-dwelling residents regarding river sanitation, with the goal of identifying key factors influencing their understanding and behaviors related to water quality and environmental health.Subjects and Method: Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study involved 120 randomly selected samples from households within 200 meters of the riverbanks situated in Barangay Basalem, Buug, Zamboanga Sibugay. Data were collected over the period from June 2022 to April 2023 using validity- and reliability-tested questionnaires and analyzed through Pearson correlation coefficients. The dependent variable in the study was the sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents, while the independent variables were the respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to water sanitation.Results: Results showed high levels of knowledge but varied attitudes and practices. Respondents understood the risks of contaminated water but held contradictory beliefs about sanitation practices. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between age and both attitudes (p= 0.049) and practices (p= 0.049) related to river sanitation, highlighting generational differences in river sanitation behaviors.Conclusion: The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and improved educational programs to address knowledge gaps and promote effective sanitation practices, ultimately aiming to protect both public health and river ecosystems.
