Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the most critical public health problems and has affected more than 1.2 billion people worldwide. Risk factors for hypertension can be divided into two, namely factors that cannot be controlled (such as gender, genetics and age) and those that can be controlled such as obesity, excess BMI, smoking, and excessive salt and fat consumption. Hypertension prevalence in age groups productive tends to increase from year to year, especially in the elderly group which reaches 63.22%. This study aimed to investigate behavior change and prevention of hypertension is the Health Belief Model (HBM).Subjects and Method: This article was compiled with a systematic review and meta-analysis study. This study uses the PICO Model as follows Population: Hypertension patients. Intervention: high self-efficacy and perceived susceptibility. Comparison: low self-efficacy and perceived suscepti­bility. Outcome: behavior change. The meta-analysis study was conducted by searching for articles from databases in electronic form including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. The keywords used are "hypertension" AND "health belief model (OR self efficacy OR perceived susceptibility)" AND "change behavior". The inclusion criteria for this study were full articles using a cross-sectional study, with the publication year 2012-2022. Analysis of articles in this study using RevMan 5.3 . software.Results: A total of 10 articles reviewed in the meta-analysis showed that perceived susceptibility influenced behavioral changes in hypertensive patients (aOR= 2.16; 95% CI= 1.59 to 2.53; p<0.001) and self-efficacy also influenced behavioral changes in hypertensive patients (aOR= 1.37; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.76; p= 0.020).Conclusion: perceptions of vulnerability and self-efficacy affect behavior changes in hypertensive patients.Keywords: hypertension, health belief model, self efficacy, perceived susceptibility.Correspondence:Gusti Fathoni Firmansyah.

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth cancer in the world that attacks women and causes death. Until now, cervical cancer causes high morbidity and mortality. Regular cervical cancer screening with the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear test remains an effective public health intervention in the prevention and subsequent reduction of the incidence, morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer. Health Belief Model (HBM) is a model developed to help understand human behavior in seeking health services and explain why people do not engage in behavior for disease prevention or early detection.Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. Data collection was obtained from 3 databases, namely: Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. Analysis of this research using software RevMan 5.3. The inclusion criteria used were full English paper with cross sectional design in 2012-2022. The keywords used were “Pap Smear” OR “Cervical Cancer Screen­ing” AND “Health Belief Model” OR “Health Belief” AND “Cervical Cancer”.Results: A total of 15 cross-sectional study articles from Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Nepal, Lebanon, South Korea, Iran, South Africa, Ethiopia, the United States, and Italy were reviewed in the meta-analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the perception of high susceptibility had an effect on the possibility of using Pap smear services 1.13 times compared to the perception of low susceptibility (aOR= 1.13; 95% CI= 1.03 to 1.07; p < 0.001), and the results were statistically significant. The perception of low barriers affects the possibility of using Pap smear services 0.91 times compared to perceptions of high barriers (aOR = 0.91; 95% CI = 0.86 to 0.97; p <0.001), and the results are statistically significant.Conclusion: Perceptions of high susceptibility and perceptions of low barriers affect the possibility of using pap smear services.Keywords: health belief model, cervical cancer, pap smear.Correspondence:Syndia Puspitasari.

Abstract

Background: Non-adherence to treatment and lack of understanding of the use of antihyper­tensive drugs resulted in uncontrolled hypertension. Antihypertensive compliance as a top priority in the treatment of hypertensive patients through the implementation of the Health Belief Model. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of perceived benefits and received cues to act on antihypertensive medication adherence.Subjects and Method: This meta-analysis was conducted using the PRISMA flowchart guide­line. The study was conducted using the PICO model, Population: hypertensive patients, Inter­vention: perceived benefits were strong and received cues to act, Comparison: perceived benefits were weak and did not receive cues to act, Outcome: adherence to antihypertensive medication. The article search process was carried out between 2012 and 2022 using databases from Pub¬Med, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and ProQuest. Search keywords included “health belief model” OR “perceived benefit” OR “cues to action” AND “adherence antihypertensive” OR “compliance antihypertensive” AND “hypertension” OR “high blood pressure”. Based on the database, there were 13 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Research analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.3 software.Results: There are 13 articles from the continents of Africa and Asia. There are 9 meta-analysis articles showing that a strong perceived benefit of hypertension treatment is 1.60 times more likely to adhere to antihypertensive treatment than a weak perception of benefit and is statistically significant (aOR = 1.60; 95% CI = 1.06 to 2.41; p = 0.020), and there were 8 articles discussing the effect of getting cues to act on hypertension treatment on 1.52 times more likely to adhere to anti­hypertensive medication than not getting cues to act and statistically significant (aOR = 1.52; 95% CI = 1.02 to 2.27; p = 0.040).Conclusion: Strong and signaled benefit perception for hypertensive patients improves adherence to antihypertensive medication.Keywords: hypertension, health belief model, perceived benefits, cues to action.Correspondence:Eltigeka Devi Apriliani, Masters Program in Public Health, universitas Sebelas Maret.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is recognized as one of the emerging public health problems globally, in which the number of cases and prevalence have been steadily increasing over the past few decades. To reduce the burden posed to health systems and afflicted individuals, patients need to adopt self-care practices. At the same time, some studies found knowledge, self-efficacy, and support were essential. Hence, this meta-analysis aimed to assess these predictors of self-care behaviors among diabetic patients.Subjects and Method: This meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. We conducted a systematic search in electronic databases for observational studies about knowledge, self-efficacy, and family or social support for diabetic self-care behaviors published between 2012 and 2022. The Joanna Briggs Institute’s Critical Appraisal tool was used. For statistical analysis such as I-squared and Begg and Egger’s tests, the Review Manager (RevMan) 5.3 software was employed. Tables and forest plots were presented with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical significance was declared at a p-value < 0.05.Results: Twelve studies with 5,482 participants were included. Good self-care behaviors were significantly associated with adequate diabetic knowledge (AOR= 2.22; 95% CI= 1.24 to 3.98; p= 0.007) and having family or social support (AOR= 2.5; 95% CI= 1.98 to 3.16; p<0.001), whereas poor self-efficacy was a significant predictor of poor self-care behaviors (AOR= 2.46; 95% CI= 1.66 to 3.65; p<0.001).Conclusion: Diabetic knowledge, self-efficacy, and family or social support are essential correlates and predictors of self-care behaviors. Researchers, healthcare professionals, third-sector organizations, and policymakers can use these findings to re-evaluate.Keywords: diabetes, self-care behaviors, knowledge, self-efficacy, social support, meta-analysisCorrespondence:Ayu Nanda Sari.

Abstract

Background: Apart from parents reluctance towards childrens early eye-care, government eye care services are costly, few ophthalmologists are in place, yet people suffering from eye infections are increasing. This study aimed to explore the response of parents towards exposing their children with eye health conditions to early eye care services, the efficiency of eye care services offered and the costs involved in accessing eye care services.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with in-depth interview. Conducted in Mubende, Uganda, from June 2019 to May 2020. A total of 12 informants were selected by purposive sampling. The data were collected using semi structured interviews from 12 participants involving children with eye health conditions and one (1) ophthalmic Officer (OCO). Investigator triangulation method was used whereby each participant was interviewed by more than one investigator as a way of obtaining several differing opinions concerning issues in question. The transcribed data were analyzed using content analysis.Results: The findings indicated that, parental responsibility for children with eye health conditions for early assessment, diagnosis and treatment was generally lacking among fathers than among mothers. Poverty, illiteracy and ignorance among parents, use of traditional herbal treat­ment of eyes often resulted in serious consequences. Regarding efficiency, there were a lot of hardships in accessing the eye care services due to limited eye care centres, inadequate skilled or specialized personnel and irregular attendance by medical staff in government eye-care centres. The eye health care services were found to be expensive and unaffordable by the community.Conclusion: The study concluded that overall, opportunities for visual assessment, diagnosis and treatment for children with eye health conditions in Mubende District were generally limited. Comprehensive eye care services that covers every member of the community are highly recommended.Keywords: eye-care services, eye health conditions, Mubende-UgandaCorrespondence: Odette Tumwesigye Niyisabwa.
