Abstract

Background: Tertiary prevention of hyper­ten­sion is a preventive effort to make patients with hypertension do not have disabilities and further complications. It also improves the quality of life and makes life longer. The bio­psy­chosocial aspect affects individuals in lear­n­ing, doing, and maintaining certain beha­viors based on social cognitive theory. This stu­dy aimed to analyze the biopsychosocial deter­mi­nants of tertiary preventive behavior among patients with hypertension.Subjects and Method: This study was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at 25 Integrated Health Posts (Pos­bin­du) in Sragen, Central Java. A sample of 200 hypertensive patients was selected by stratified random sam­pling. The dependent variable was the ter­tiary preventive behavior of hypertension. The in­­de­pendent variables were observational lear­ning, role model, imitation, vicarious learning, rein­forcement, self-efficacy, self-regulation, out­­­­­come expectation, and attitude. The data were collected by ques­tion­naire and analyzed by a multilevel multiple logis­tic regression.Results: Hypertension preventive behavior in­crea­sed with observational learning (b= 2.85; 95% CI= 0.17 to 5.53; p= 0.037), role model (b= 2.73; 95% CI =0.73 to 4.73; p=0.007), imi­tation (b= 3.46 ; 95% CI= 0.73 to 6.19; p= 0.013), vica­­rious learning (b= 2.54; 95% CI =0.16 to 4.93; p= 0.036), reinforcement (b= 3.89; 95% CI= 0.96 to 6.82; p= 0.009), self-efficacy (b= 3.04; 95% CI= 0.41 to 5.67; p= 0.024), self-re­gu­­­­lation (b= 2.28; 95% CI= 0.02 to 4.54; p= 0.048), outcome expectation (b= 3.56; 95% CI= 0.75 to 6.38; p= 0.013), and a positive attitude (b= 2.86; 95% CI= 0.26 to 5.47; p= 0.031). Posbindu had a contextual effect on ter­tiary preventive behavior of hypertension with an Intra Class Correlation (ICC) value of 63.05%.Conclusion: Tertiary preventive behavior of hypertension increases with high observational learning, strong role model, strong imitation, high vicarious learning, strong reinforcement, high self-eff­icacy, high self-regulation, positive outcome expec­­­­tation, and positive attitude. Posbindu has a contextual effect on tertiary preventive behavior of hyper­ten­sion.Keywords: tertiary prevention, hypertension, social cognitive theory, multilevel analysisCorrespondence: Very Retnowati.

Abstract

Background: Smoking is a national and world problem. The prevalence of smoking in Indo­nesia is quite high. Not all smokers have the motivation to quit smoking. Most people who quit smoking have relapse experiences. There have been many advertisements about the dangers of smoking. The dangers of smoking on average are known by everyone, including smokers themselves.Subjects and Method: This study is a quail­tative study which intends to determine the reasons for quitting and relapse and their knowledge of the dangers of smoking. The research subjects consisted of 29 people who met the criteria, namely smokers who had quit and then relapsed again in the city of Surakarta.Results: The results showed that the reasons for the respondents to quit smoking were: sick­ness, not allowed by their parents, no money, a work environment that did not allow them for smoking, having children, reflexes or suddenly wanting to not smoke, wanting to live healthy, because they wanted to register for official school, and because they like sports. Reasons for respondents who had stopped smoking relapsed, namely: recovery from illness, factors from friends and the environment, due to accidentally or suddenly smoking, addiction or dependence, and because of stress. The know­ledge of respondents who relapsed from smoking cessation behavior about the dangers of smoking, namely: smoking is a danger, ciga­rettes can cause cancer, smoking is detrimental to health, smoking can cause lung disease, coughing, shortness of breath, heart, smoking can cause throat disease, smoking can cause stroke, don't know the dangers of smoking, and some say it all depends on God.Conclusion: This study shows that people who return to smoking have a good knowledge of the dangers of smoking. The results of this study indicate that there are factors other than knowledge that influence smoking behavior.Keywords: smoker, quit, relapse, knowledgeCorrespondence: Burhannudin Ichsan.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of hypertension is always increasing every year both in Indo­nesia and in the world. Adolescents with high blood pressure are more likely to become adults with hypertension if not treated immediately. This study aimed to review the effects of phy­sical activity and obesity on hypertension in adolescents using meta-analysis.Subjects and Method: Meta-analysis was performed by searching for articles from the database, namely Pubmed, Science Direct, Springer Link and Google Scholar. The key­words used are "physical activity" AND "obe­sity" AND "hypertension" OR "high blood pres­sure" AND "adolescent" AND "cross-sectional". The inclusion criteria in this study were full-text articles with a cross-sectional design, in English, for the period of 2010-2020. Article analysis was using RevMan 5.3.Results: The total number of articles analyzed was 14 articles from Nigeria, Brazil, Gabon, Germany, Tunisia, Algeria, China, Egypt, Indo­nesia, Lithuania, Greece, and Ghana. The results of the meta-analysis showed that phy­sical activity increased the incidence of hyper­tension in adolescents (aOR= 2.70; 95% CI= 1.81 to 4.04; p<0.001; I2= 87%). Obesity increased the incidence of hypertension in adolescents (aOR = 1.71; CI 95% = 1.34 –2.17; p < 0.001; I2 = 41%).Conclusion: Physical activity affects the inci­dence of hypertension in adolescents. Obesity affects the incidence of hypertension in adolescents.Keywords: hypertension, physical activity, obesity, adolescentsCorrespondence: Maria Imakulata Berek, Masters Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Jl.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is the single largest con­tributor to the global burden of disease (GBD). The Chronic Disease Management Prog­ram (Prolanis) is a health service system and a pro­active approach implemented in an integrated manner. This study aimed to determine the ef­fec­tive­ness of Prolanis on the "CERDIK" healthy be­ha­vior for hypertensive patients.Subjects and Method: This cross-sectional stu­dy was conducted in hypertensive patients in 25 working areas of health centers in Gunung­ki­dul, Special Region of Yogyakarta, from January to February 2020. A sample of 200 hypertensive pa­tients was selected by simple random sampl­ing. The dependent variable was the "CERDIK" healt­hy behavior for hypertensive patients. The in­dependent variables were chronic disease ma­na­gement program (Prolanis), education level, peer support, family support, and sex. Other data we­re collected by using a questionnaire. Data we­re analyzed by path analysis using the Stata 13 application.Results: “CERDIK" healthy behavior for hyper­ten­­sive patients increased with active prolanis acti­vity (b= 5.00; 95% CI= 2.80 to 7.20; p <0.001), higher education (b= 1.52; 95% CI= 0.48 to 2.54; p= 0.004), strong family support (b= 1.­38; 95% CI= 0.20 to 2.57; p= 0.023), strong pe­er support (b= 0.61; 95% CI= -0.67 to 2.51; p= 0.­352), and female (b= 2.8; 95% CI= -5.01 to -0.64; p= 0.011). Education, family support, and peer sup­port were associated with “CERDIK” healthy behavior through Prolanis.Conclusion: “CERDIK" healthy behavior for hyper­ten­­sive patients increases with active pro­lanis acti­vity, higher education, strong family support, strong pe­er support, and female. Edu­cation, family support, and peer sup­port were associated with “CERDIK” healthy behavior through Prolanis.Keywords: Prolanis, “CERDIK” healthy beha­vi­our, hypertension, path analysisCorrespondence: Tri Puji Pangesti.
