Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) accounts for 90% to 95% of all diabetes cases. Complications of type 2 diabetes increase the risk of death for suf­ferers. Complications and deaths from type 2 dia­betes can be prevented by changes in behavior. This study aimed to determine the effect of health cen­­ters and other factors on the prevention of ter­­tiary diabetes type 2, using the theory of plan­ned behavior and social cognitive theory.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic ob­ser­­vational study with cross sectional de­sign, conducted at 25 community health centers, in Bantul Re­gen­cy, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A sample of 200 type 2 DM patients was selected by exha­ustive samp­­ling. The dependent variable was type 2 DM tertiary prevention. The indepen­dent vari­ables at level 1 are intention, attitude, sub­jective norm, perceived behavior con­trol/ self-efficacy, experience, modelling, self-re­gu­­­­lation, and out­come expectation. Community health center was an independent variable at level 2. The data were col­­lected by questionnaire and analyzed by a mul­ti­level multiple linear regression.Results: Tertiary preventive behavior in type 2 DM patients increased with strong intention (b= 1.19; 95% CI= 0.62 to 1.76; p <0.001), positive atti­tude (b= 1.19; 95% CI= 0.58 to 1.80; p <0.001), supportive subjec­­tive norm (b= 0.79; 95% CI= 0.12 to 1.45; p= 0.019), perceived be­ha­vior control (b= 1.16; 95% CI= 0.60 to 1.72; p <0.001), abundant experience (b= 0.65; 95% CI= 0.62 to 1.25; p<0.001), strong modelling (b= 1.07; 95% CI= 0.53 to 1.67; p= 0.030), strong self-regulation (b= 0.87; 95% CI= 0.34 to 1.40; p= 0.001), and positive outcome expectation (b= 0.82; 95% CI= 0.25 to 1.38; p = 0.004). Commu­nity health center had con­textual effect on the tertiary pre­ventive behavior in type 2 DM patients with ICC= 19.18%.Conclusion: Tertiary preventive behavior in type 2 DM patients increases with strong intent­ion, positive atti­tude, supportive subjec­­tive norm, perceived be­ha­vior control, abundant experience, strong modelling, strong self-regula­tion, and positive outcome expectation. Commu­nity health center has con­textual effect on the tertiary pre­ventive behavior in type 2 DM patients.Keywords: tertiary prevention behavior, type 2 diabetes, TBP, SCT, multilevel analysis.Correspondence: Yudi Andriyaningtiyas.

Abstract

Background: Breast and cervical cancer remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality for wo­men in Indonesia. Although this cancer can be de­tected early, women are still less active in self-detecting breast and cervical cancer, so both cancers are found at an advanced stage. This study aimed to explore how women's knowledge, barriers, and motivations are related to early detection of breast and cervical cancer.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study, with focus group discussions (FGDs) and interviews with key informants. Discussions and in­terviews were conducted in the community within Ledok Kulon village, Bojonegoro Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Participants: FGD partici­pants involved 20 women, 10 women underwent FDG about cervical cancer and 10 other women conducted FGD about breast cancer. Three key informants interviewed with health worker and administrator that allow triangulation of res­pon­ses thereby increasing the validity of the findings. Participants were aged 20 to ?60 years, with no history of symptoms or previous diagnosis of breast or cervical cancer. The women were inter­viewed in October-November 2019. The trans­cri­bed data were analyzed using content analysis.Results: Participants' knowledge about under­stan­ding, risk factors, signs and symptoms of breast and cervical cancer was still lacking. Par­ticipants attributed the cause of cervical cancer to the vaginal wound resulting in cervical cancer and signs of symptoms such as heartburn. Whe­reas for breast cancer participants were not know the signs and symptoms, they only said there was a lump in the breast. Barriers to screening were ashamed to be examined by health workers, afraid of testing procedures, feeling healthy and there were no signs of cancer. Screening motiva­tion were experiencing signs and symptoms of can­cer, family history of the disease and aware­ness of the disease/screening service.Conclusion: The study participants' knowledge of breast and cervical cancer was still lacking. To improve breast and cervical cancer screening, efforts must focus on reducing identified barriers and increasing motivation.Keywords: knowledge, barriers, motivation, breast and cervical cancer screeningCorrespondence: Afriza Umami.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries (tooth decay) is a problem of children?s dental health in the world. Primary school age is a strategic group for the precaution of dental and oral diseases. There is a transition from baby teeth to permanent teeth in the early childhood. Primary school age children do not have good self-care behavior. Therefore, they need parental supervision such as maintenance of dental and oral health. The theory of Health Belief Model (HBM) is used by the community to take positive health action such as precaution of a disease. This study aimed to analyze the caries preventive behavior by using the theory of the Health Belief Model.Subjects and Method: This study used analytic observational method with cross sectional approach. This study was conducted at 25 Primary Schools, Klaten Regency, in September 2019. This study used stratified proportional random sampling and random sampling techniques of 200 primary school children at 25 primary schools in Klaten Regency as the sampling technique. The dependent variable was caries preventive behavior. The independent variables were perceived susceptiblity, perceived severity, perceived benefit, and perceived barrier. This study used questionnaires to collect the data. The data were analyzed by using multilevel analysis on Stata 13.Results: Caries preventive behavior increased with perceived susceptibility (b=0.89; 95%CI=0.85 to 1.69; p=0.030), perceived severity (b=1.59; 95%CI=2.73 to 0.44; p=0.006), perceived benefit (b=1.05; 95%CI=1.97 to 0.12; p=0.026), and perceived barrier (b=-1.54; 95%CI=-2.84 to 0.25; p=0.019). The variation of caries preventive behavior by 7% was determined by variables at the primary school level. This rate was smaller than the standard size of rule of thumb by 8-10%. Therefore, there was a contextual effect shown from the multilevel analysis, but the result was statistically low.Conclusion: There is an effect of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, and perceived barrier on caries preventive behavior in primary school children. There is a contextual effect of primary school on caries preventive behavior based on the theory of Health Belief Model, but the result was statistically low.Keywords: multilevel analysis, primary school children, theory of Health Belief Model, precaution of caries.Correspondence: Dewi Mustika Ratih, Masters Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension or increased blood pressure is often referred as the silent killer because it usually does not show significant signs and symptoms. Thus, almost all patients do not realize if they suffer from hypertension. The Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2007 reported that the prevalence of hypertension in the population aged over 18 years old in Indonesia was 31.7%. Because of the increasing prevalence of hypertension in adolescence, it is necessary to take precautions. This study aimed to examine the relationship between demographic factors and body mass index with the prevention of hyper­tension in adolescentsSubjects and Method: This was a cross sec­tional study conducted at Muhammadiyah 1 Senior high school, Yogyakarta, from May 2017 to February 2018. A sample of 80 students was selected for this study. The dependent variables were prevention behavior. The independent variables were age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and residence. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by Chi square.Results: 48 (60%) students had good hyper­tension prevention behavior. Female (OR= 3.00; p= 0.030), urban residence (OR= 2.78; p= 0.040), and normal body weight (OR= 4.30; p= 0.001) increased behavior of hypertension prevention, and they were statistically signi­ficant. Older age (OR= 1.59; p= 0.220) incre­ased behavior of hypertension preven­tion, but it was statistically non-significant.Conclusion: Female, urban residence, normal body weight, and older age increase behavior of hypertension prevention.Keywords: hypertension prevention behavior, demographic factorsCorrespondence: Ratna Indriawati.

Abstract

Background: Based on Basic Health Research in 2018, the proper brushing teeth behavior in children in Indonesia was 2.8%. The Elementary School period is an important stage for develop­ing the behavior of maintaining den­tal and oral health in children (students). This stu­dy aim­ed to analyze the bio psychosocial de­ter­­­mi­­nants of the behavior of maintaining den­tal and oral health in elementary school children in Ponorogo by implementing the theory of Health Belief Model.Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sec­tio­nal study conducted in Pono­rogo, East Java, Indonesia, from January to Feb­­ruary 2020. A sample of 200 students from 25 elementary schools was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent vari­able was dental and oral health behavior. The independent variables were know­­­ledge, teacher’s role, attitude, perceived sus­cep­tibility, perceived seriousness, perceived be­ne­fit, perceived barrier, cues to action, self-effi­cacy, and school. The data were co­ll­e­c­t­­ed by questionnaire. The data were analyz­ed by a multilevel multiple logistic regression run on Stata 13.Results: Dental and oral health behavior in elementary school students in­creas­ed with good knowledge (OR= 8.73; 95% CI­= ­­2.18 to 34.95; p= 0.002), strong teacher’s role (OR= 3.99; 95% CI= 1.17 to 13.65; p= 0.027), posi­tive attitude (OR= 6.45; 95% CI= 1.73 to 24.04; p=­ 0.­005), strong perceived susceptibility (OR= 7.81; 95% CI= 2.12 to 28.78; p= 0.011), high perceived seri­ousness (OR= 6.62; 95% CI= 1.93 to 22.69; p= 0.003), weak perceived barrier (OR= 0.18; 95%­ CI= 0.05 to 0.72; p = 0.015), big perceived be­nefit (OR= 7.78; 95% CI= 1.80 to 33.56; p= 0.­006), strong cues to action (OR= 3.95; 95% CI= 1.12 to 13.91; p= 0.032), and strong self-efficacy (OR­=­ 4.­99; 95% CI= 1.38 to 18.05; p=0.014 ). Elementary schools had contextual effect on the dental and oral health be­ha­vi­or with ICC= 14.14%.Conclusion: The behavior of maintaining den­tal and oral health in elementary school students is affected by good knowledge, strong teacher’s role, high perceived susceptibility, high perceived serious­ness, weak perceived barrier, big per­ceiv­ed benefit, high cues to action, and strong self-effi­cacy.

Abstract

Background: HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B infections are very susceptible to transmission from mother to child during pregnancy, child­birth, and breastfeeding. In 2014, the World Health Organisation (WHO) established a list of validation criteria to facilitate efforts of eli­mination of mother-to-child transmission (EMTCT) of HIV and syphilis. This study aimed to ana­lyze determinants of pregnant women parti­ci­pation in the triple elimination uptake.Subjects and Method: This was a cross sec­tional study conducted at 25 Public health cen­ters, in Semarang District, Central Java, from December 2019 to February 2020. A sample of 200 pregnant women was selected by random sampling. The dependent variable was triple elimination. The independent variables were intention, access to information, know­led­ge, outcome expectation, modeling, distance, self-efficacy, and husband support. Community health center was variable in level 2. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic multilevel analysis.Results: Triple elimination participation in pregnant women increased with good access to information (b= 1.76; 95% CI= 16.72 to 102.18; p<0.001), good knowledge (b= 2.09; 95% CI= 10.91 to 56.14; p<0.001), positive outcome expectation (b= 2.03; 95% CI= 12.93 to 71.91; p<0.001), strong modeling (b= 2.03; 95% CI= 2.83 to 1.64, p< 0.001), strong inten­tion (b= 2.43; 95% CI= 8.49 to 46.22; p <0.001), strong self-efficacy (b= 2.48; 95% CI= 12.64 to 72.37; p<0.001), and strong husband support (b= 1.97; 95% CI= 12.2 to 65.24; p <0.001). Triple elimination participation in pregnant women decreased with further distance to health center (b= -2.20; 95% CI= 0.41 to 1.38; p= 0.032). Public health center had contextual effect on the participation of triple elimination in preg­nant women with ICC= 40.64%.Conclusion: Triple elimination participation in pregnant women increases with good access to information, good knowledge, positive out­come expectation, strong modeling, strong in­ten­tion, strong self-efficacy, and strong hus­band support. It decreases with further dis­tan­ce to health center.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is a type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in wo­men. BSE is an early detection method for breast can­cer. Health Belief Model is a model of health behavior that can predict women's interest in prac­ticing BSE. This study aims to estimate the Health Belief Model's effect in the practice of BSE by meta-analysis.Subjects and Method: Meta-analysis was performed by searching for articles from the Pub­Med database, Springer Link, Elsevier, and Google Scholar. The keywords used were "health belief model," OR "health belief" OR "belief" AND "breast self-examination," OR "breast cancer screening." This study's inclu­sion criteria were full-text articles published in 2011-2020, a cross-sectional study design. Article analysis using RevMan 5.3 software.Results: There were 12 articles in total. The results showed that perceived benefits were strong (aOR= 1.02; 95% CI= 0.94-1.11; p= 0.590; I2= 73%), perceived barriers were weak (aOR = 1; 95% CI= 0.95-1.05; p= 0.920; I2= 87%).Conclusion: Perceived benefits and perceived barriers are not statistically significant in predi­c­t­i­ng BSE practice in women.Keywords: health belief model, perceived be­ne­­­fits, perceived barriers, BSECorrespondence: Maranata.

Abstract

Background: Health problems in adolescents are among the most important problems in the human life cycle, especially reproductive and sexual problems. Actively conducted premarital sex behavior poses a risk to teenage pregnancy and transmission of sexually transmitted dise­ases. This study aims to analyze the theory of planned behavior and social cognitive theory on the determinants of premarital sex behavior in adolescents.Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study design. The study was con­ducted at 25 high schools/vocational high schools in Gresik, East Java, from September to October 2020. A sampling of 200 adolescents used stratified random sampling and simple ran­dom sampling. The dependent variable was premarital sex behavior. The independent varia­­bles were the intention, attitude, subjec­tive norms, peer support, family intimacy, and self-efficacy. The data were collected by using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multi­ple logistic regression with Stata 13.Results: Premarital sexual behavior increased with strong intention (b= 1.06; 95% CI= 0.15 to 1.98; p= 0.015), positive attitude (b= 1.22; 95% CI= 0.38 to 2.13; p= 0.009), subjective norms supportive (b= 1.09; 95% CI= 0.14 to 2.04; p= 0.024), and strong peer support (b= 1.37; 95% CI= 0.44 to 2.30; p= 0.004). Premarital sexual behavior decreased with strong family intimacy (b= -1.32; 95% CI= -2.23 to -0.40; p= 0.005) and strong self-efficacy for abstinence (b=                 -1.03; 95% CI= -2.23 to -1.93; p= 0.025). There was an effect at the school level on premarital sex behavior with ICC 24.6%.Conclusion: Premarital sexual behavior in­crea­ses with strong intentions, positive attitu­des, supportive subjective norms, and strong peer support.
