The study was conducted at Solo plus peer support group, Surakarta, Central Java, from January to February 2018. A sample of 100 PLWH was selected for this study by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was a quality life of PLWH. The independent variables were healthy behavior, depression, family income, stigma, peer support, and social support. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Quality of life of PLWH increased with involvement in peer support group (b= 3.40; 95% CI= 0.71 to 6.10; p=0.001), social support (b= 0.70; 95% CI= 0.01 to 1.40; p=0.046), and healthy behavior (b=9.33; 95% CI= 5.30 to 13.36; p<0.001). Quality of life of PLWH decreased with stigma (b= -1.10; 95% CI=-1.84 to -0.36; p=0.003), and depression (b=-4.23; 95% CI=-6.62 to -1.83; p=0.001). Quality of life of PLWH was indirectly affected by income (b=0.06; 95% CI=10.14 to 18.61; p<0.001).Conclusion: Quality of life of PLWH is affected by healthy behavior, depression, stigma, peer support group, social support, and income.Keywords: Quality of life, PLWH, stigma, peer support group, social support Correspondence: Yuli Lutfatul Fajriyah.

Abstract

Background: There is growing evidence of the connections between slow growth in height early in life and impaired health and educational and economic performance later in life. Basic Health Research (Riset Kesehatan Dasar, Riskesdas) conducted by The Minister of Health in 2010, showed that prevalence of stunting in Indonesia was 35.6% of children aged under five years old. This study aimed to examine  path analysis on the effect of biopsychosocial and economic factors during gestational period on the risk of stunting and development in children under five, in Nganjuk, East Java.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with case control design.  This study was conducted at Bagor Community Health Center, Nganjuk, East Java.  A total sample of 150 children under five, consisting of 50 stunted children and 100 normal children, was selected for this study by  fixed exposure sampling. The dependent variables were stunting and development. The independent variables were  middle upper arm circumference (MUAC) and family support at pregnancy, low birthweight, maternal height, maternal schooling, and family income. The stunting was measured by anthropometry (weight for height). The child development was measured by Kuesioner Pra-Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP). Other variables were measured by a set of questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis.Results: Low birth weight had direct negative effect on stunting (b=0.99; p=0.897). Maternal height (b=-2.58; p= 0.029), maternal education (b=-1.55; p=0.002), and family income (b=-1.30; p=0.002) had direct negative effects on stunting. Low birth weight (b=-0.27; p=0.253) and family income (b=-0.007; p=0.976) have negative but statistically non-significant effect on development. Maternal education had positive but statistically non-significant effect on development (b=2.16; p=0.883). MUAC (b=-4.60; p<0.001) had negative and statically significant effect on low birth weight. Family support  had positive but statistically non-significant on low birth weight (b=0.52; p=0.492). Maternal height had positive and statistically significant effect on MUAC (b=3.16; p<0.001). Family income had positive but statistically non-significant effect on MUAC (b=0.83; p=0.253).Conclusion: MUAC and maternal education have indirect, negative and statistically significant effect on stunting Maternal height, maternal education, and family income, have direct, negative, and statistically significant effect on stunting.Keywords: stunting, biopsychosocial, economic, gestational periodCorrespondence : Erike Yunicha Viridula.

The World Health Organization has recommended exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for infants until 6 months of age. However, many working mothers did not provide EBF to their infants. This study aimed to examine biopsychosocial and institutional factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers, using health belief model and PRECEDE-PROCEED model.Subjects and Method: This study was observational analytic with cross sectional design. It was conducted in Klaten District, Central Java, from March to April, 2017. A sample of 120 working mothers was selected for this study by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was exclusive breastfeeding. The independent variables were maternal education, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, self efficacy, family support, health personnel support, and availability of lactation room at workplace. The data were collected by a pre-tested questionnaire. Logistic regression was employed for data analysis.Results: Maternal education (OR=4.2; 95% CI = 1.09 to 11.51; p=0.001), availability of lactation room at workplace (OR=4.11; 95% CI= 1.21 to 14.29; p=0.001), family support (OR=6.25; 95% CI= 1.45 to 15.96; p<0.001), health personnel support (OR=3.76; 95% CI = 1.43 to 16.06; p=0.002), perceived benefit (OR=2.30; 95% CI = 1.09 to 12.87; p=0.044), self-efficacy (OR= 3.57; 95% CI  = 1.21 to 14.29; p=0.002) had positive effect on EBF. Perceived barrier (OR=0.18; 95% CI = 0.64 to 0.76; p<0.001) had negative effect on the provision of EBF.Conclusion: Maternal education, availability of lactation room at workplace, family support, health personnel support, perceived benefit, self-efficacy have positive effect on EBF. Perceived barrier has negative effect on the provision of EBF among working mothers.Keywords: biopsychosocial factors, exclusive breastfeeding, PRECEDE-PROCEED model, health belief modelCorrespondence: Desi Ekawati.

Abstract

Background: Many adolescents had engaged in unhealthy sexual behavior that can result in unintended health outcomes. In theory, the adolescent sexual behavior is influenced by a complex set of interactions between biology, genetics, individual perception, personality characteristics, and sociocultural norms and values. This study aimed to determine the influence of internal and external factors on preventive reproductive health behavior in adolescents, in Banjarmasin, Kalimantan, using Health Belief Model.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with the cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at 10 senior high schools in Banjarmasin, Kalimantan. A total sample of 200 grade XI students was selected for this study by proportional stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was preventive reproductive health behavior. The independent variables were perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived threat, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, self-efficacy, the role of parents, peer role, and information access. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis. Results: The strong role of parents (b=0.05; SE= 0.01; p<0.001), perceived benefit (b=0.06; SE= 0.02; p=0.006), perceived threat (b=0.10; SE= 0.02; p<0.001), self-efficacy (b=0.13; SE= 0.01; p<0.001), and peer role (b=0.06; SE= 0.01; p<0.001) positively affected preventive reproductive health behavior. Perceived barrier (b= -0.03; SE= 0.01; p=0.026) negatively affected preventive reproductive health behavior. Perceived threat increased with increasing role of parents (b=0.05; SE= 0.02; p= 0.059), perceived susceptibility (b=0.21; SE= 0.05; p<0.001), perceived seriousness (b=0.10; SE= 0.04; p= 0.015), and self efficacy (b= 0.13; SE= 0.06; p= 0.040). Perceived barrier decreased with improving access of information (b=-0.16; SE= 0.05; p= 0.004). Perceived benefit increased with improving access of information (b=0.09; SE= 0.04; p= 0.030) and perceived susceptibility (b=0.20; SE= 0.06; p= 0.002). Perceived susceptibility (b=0.13; SE= 0.04; p= 0.004), perceived seriousness (b=0.10; SE= 0.05; p= 0.057), and self efficacy (b=0.09; SE= 0.03; p= 0.006) increased with access of information. Self efficacy increased with stronger role of parents (b=0.06; SE= 0.02; p= 0.018), and peer role (b=0.07; SE= 0.04; p= 0.062).Conclusion: Preventive reproductive health behavior among adolescents is affected by the role of parents, perceived of threat, self-efficacy, peer role, perceived of benefit, and perceived of a barrier. Health belief model can predict health preventive behavior.Keywords: Preventive behavior, reproductive health, health belief model, internal and external factorsCorrespondence: Azura Arisa, Masters Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Jl.
