Abstract

Background: Child immunization coverage was low in several health centers in Surakarta, Central Java. Some of the health centers did not achieve GAIN Universal Child Immunization (UCI) target in 2014. For example, Penumping Health Center (HBV <7 days= 86.9%, BCG= 87.8%, Campak= 87.5%, DTP-HBV-HIB= 86.7%, Polio= 87.5%) and Banyuanyar Health Center (Campak= 89.6%). This study aimed to determine the effect of maternal perception on completeness of child immunization status using Health Belief Model (HBM).Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with case control design. It was conducted at Penumping and Banyuanyar Health Centers, Surakarta, Central java. A total sample of 120 mothers and their respective children aged <9 years was selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. This sample consisted of children with complete immunization and the other children with incomplete immunization (ratio= 1:4). The dependent variable was completeness of immunization status. The independent variables were maternal perception on various HBM constructs, including perceived susceptibility, seriousness, threat, benefit, and barrier. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire, and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Perceived susceptibility had indirect and positive effect on completeness of immunization status via perceived threat, although it was not statistically significant (b= 0.63; 95% CI= -0.13 to 1.39; p= 0.104). Perceived seriousness had indirect positive and statistically significant effect on completeness of immunization status via perceived threat (b= 1.10; 95% CI =0.71 to 3.04; p=0.005). Perceived threat (b= 1.88; 95% CI= 0.34 to 1.86; p= 0.002), and perceived benefit (b= 1.83; 95% CI = 0.69 to 2.96; p= 0.002), showed direct positive and statistically significant effect on completeness of immunization status. Perceived barrier had direct and negative effect on completeness of immunization status  (b= -0.96; 95% CI= -1.97 to 0.05; p= 0.063).  Conclusion: Maternal perception on child susceptibility, disease seriousness, disease threat, benefit and barrier of immunization, have effects on the completeness of immunization status.Keywords: immunization status, completeness, health belief modelCorrespondence: Yessica Eka Puri.

Abstract

Background: One of the government's strategies to support women's equal rights is to issue a policy in which people of reproductive age, both men and women, are expected to participate in the Family Planning program as an effort to raise awareness, willingness and ability of the community to improve their welfare independently. This study aims to analyze the influence of attitude, partner support, and level of education on men's participation in the use of contraception. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. The study population was men of reproductive age. Intervention= positive attitude, strong partner support, and high education. Comparison= negative attitude, weak support, and low education. Outcome= the use of contraceptives. Data search was carried out syste­ma­tically using electronic databases from Pub­med, Google Scholar, Europe PMC, Science Direct, and Springer Link. Keywords used “Attitude” AND “Partner support” OR “Discuss with partner” AND “Educational status” OR “Educational level” AND “Men parti­ci­pa­tion” OR “Men Involvement” AND “Contraception” OR “Family Plann­ing” OR “Vasec­tomy” OR “Con­dom”. The selection of primary articles used the PRISMA flowchart which was analyzed using Review Manager 5.3. Results: Six studies showed that men with a positive attitude were 3.69 times more likely to use contraception than men with a negative attitude (aOR= 3.69; 95% CI= 2.23 to 6.09; p<0.001). Six studies showed that men with strong partner support are 2.48 times more likely to use contra­ception than men with weak partner support (aOR= 2.48; 95% CI= 2.04 to 3.02; p<0.001). Eight studies showed that men with a high level of education increased the likelihood of male contra­ceptive use (aOR= 2.07; CI 95%= 1.45 to 2.96). Conclusion: Positive attitude, strong partner support, and a high education increase the use of male contraceptives. Keywords: attitude, partner support, level of education, contraception.

Abstract

Background: The proportion of people with asymptomatic infection likely varies with age because of the increasing prevalence of co-morbid conditions in older age groups (thus the risk of severe disease increases with increasing age), and because children are less likely than adults to show clinical symptoms. This means that children have a greater chance of not showing symptoms but can transmit COVID-19 to those closest to them, especially their families. This study aimed to develop a pop-up book as a medium for promoting COVID-19 health in grade 4 elementary school children. Indicators of success in the development if the media is said to be effective.Subjects and Method: This research is Research and Development (RnD) which was carried out in 6 elementary schools, Ternate, North Maluku. A total of 97 grade 4 students were selected in this study. The dependent variable is knowledge and attitude. The Independent Variable is the COVID-19 pop-up Book. Data was collected using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the t-test, and the improvement test using the N-Gain.Results: After health promotion interventions using a pop-up book for 4th grade elementary school, knowledge (Mean= 17.18; SD= 0.93) was higher than before (Mean= 16.06; SD= 1.76), the results statistically significant (p< 0.001). The attitude after intervention (Mean= 25.27; SD= 2.14) was higher than before (Mean= 20.12; SD= 3.53), the result also statistically signi­ficant (p< 0.001).Conclusion: The COVID-19 pop-up book media is effective for use as a media for health promotion.Keywords: development, pop-up books, COVID-19.Correspondence:Annisa Rizkiyah.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy is a period of increased vulnerability to depression incidence, especially if the pregnancy is accompanied by additional demands. Antenatal depression is depression that occurs during pregnancy characterized by certain symptoms, namely anxiety, distress, confusion, and excessive fear. The study aims to estimate the effect size of marital status and social support on the incidence of antenatal depression in pregnant women. Subjects and Method: The study used systematic review and meta-analysis with PICO, Popula­tion: pregnant women; Intervention: marital status and strong social support; Comparison: unmarried marital status and weak social support. Outcome: antenatal depression. The articles used were obtained from several databases namely Google Scholar, Pubmed, SpringerLink, and Science Direct. The article search keywords were "Antenatal Depression" AND "Marital Status" AND "Social Support" AND "Pregnant Women". The inclusion criteria for the articles were full-text articles in English using cross-sectional observational study design, published between 2012 and 2022, the study subject was pregnant women, and the size of the association was presented in adjusted Odds ratio (aOR). The data were analyzed using Review Manager app (RevMan 5.3). Results: A total of 17 cross-sectional articles originated from Asia and Africa including Qatar, Thailand, China, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Nigeria, and Rwanda for systematic review and meta-analysis with a total population of 8,723 pregnant women. Pregnant women with unmarried marital status could contribute to the worsening condition of pregnant women that generated antenatal dep­res­sion (aOR= 2.76; 95% CI= 1.75 to 4.36; p< 0.0001).  Meanwhile, pregnant women with weak social sup­port could contribute to the worsening of the condition of pregnant women that generated antenatal depression (aOR= 2.22; 95% CI= 1.42 to 3.46; p= 0.005). Conclusion: Marital status and social support can improve the prevention of antenatal dep­res­sion in pregnant women. Keywords: marital status, social support, pregnant women, antenatal depression.

Abstract

Background: According to secondary data from the Central Sulawesi Provincial Health Office, updated information regarding the COVID-19 vaccination in Palu City, Central Sulawesi has only reached 4.82%. As of Monday, March 14 2022. This data can be said to be lagging behind vacci­nation coverage rates because there are still many people who have not carried out vacci­nations, this can be applied through Theory Planned Behavior to the use of COVID-19 vaccination at the Palu City Health Center, Central Sulawesi. Subjects and Method: Qualitative study with key informant interviews. Interviews were conducted in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Interviews were conducted with 7 people who had not received the COVID-19 vaccination at all, 4 people who had received the second dose of COVID-19 vaccination, 4 people who had received the third dose of COVID-19 vaccination, and key informant 1 City health center promotion worker Palu, Head of the surveillance section of the Palu City Health Service and immunization as well as the COVID-19 Task Force, as well as 1 additional informant from the family. Results: It can be seen that the lack of knowledge has a great impact on attitudes towards behavior from the community, in which in addition to believing in negative news about the COVID-19 vaccination, there is also the influence of the subjective norm variable, namely the prohibition from the family in carrying out the COVID-19 vaccination, but in the predictive variable behavioral control had little impact on the use of the COVID-19 vaccination in Palu City. Conclusion: In this study it was concluded that the application of the Theory of Planned Behavior on the use of COVID-19 vaccination in Palu City, Central Sulawesi, had an effect especially in terms of attitude towards behavior variables and subjective norm variables. Keywords: vaccination, COVID-19, theory planned behavior. Correspondence: Gadis Nur Anggreani. Master’s Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret. Jl. Ir.
