Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic provides a unique opportunity to reinvigorate efforts to achieve the Triple Zero HIV goal by 2030-zero new cases, zero deaths from AIDS, and zero stigma. This scoping review explores technology, including social media and big data, in increasing HIV literacy and community engagement. It is crucial to prioritize the Triple Zero HIV targets, which involve the eradication of new HIV infections, AIDS-related deaths, and the stigma associated with HIV, amidst the COVID-19 epidemic. This study aimed to rigorously investigate and identify new technology-driven therapeutics to eliminate HIV, AIDS-related fatalities, and social discrimination by 2030. Subjects and Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching articles from PubMed and ResearchGate is an article published from 2015 to present. The keywords were “HIV education technology” and “community engagement.” Articles covering technology-based HIV literacy and community engagement were selected, and other databases were searched extensively for this scoping review. The search included "HIV education technology” “Community engagement” and "Big data in HIV prevention”. The articles were selected by PRISMA flow diagram method. Results: A total of 8 studies was included in this review. This study revealed innovative approaches to HIV education through technology, including mobile applications and social media campaigns. These tools provide easily accessible information, reducing stigma and discrimination. Big data and predictive analytics can target interventions effectively. The post-COVID-19 era allows for community mobilization through social media campaigns and virtual support groups, fostering solidarity and access to care. According to our analysis, mobile apps and social media campaigns are novel HIV education methods. These tools make knowledge accessible, decreasing stigma and discrimination. Big data and predictive analytics target interventions. Community mobilization through social media campaigns and virtual support groups promotes solidarity and care post-COVID-19. Conclusion: Technology, heightened health awareness, and community engagement can drive progress toward the Triple Zero goal of HIV by 2030, creating a world with no new cases, no AIDS deaths, and no stigma. This opportunity arises in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which offers new avenues for HIV prevention and care.

Abstract

Background: Dental health education is important to improve people's dental and oral health. Visually impaired children have limited vision, so they need appropriate and appropriate methods for accepting visually impaired children by maximizing the provision of education through senses other than sight in carrying out treatment and prevention efforts. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of combination oral health education on the oral health knowledge and plaque scores in visually impaired children. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis with PICO model. Population: Visually impaired children. Intervention: dental health education ≥3 methods. Comparison: without education or <3 education methods. Outcome: oral hygiene knowledge and plaque scores. Article search was carried out using the keywords: ("dental health education" OR "oral hygiene" OR "oral health education") AND ("visually impaired children" OR "blind children") AND “randomized control trial”. Studies published between 2013-2023 from the PubMed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases were included. Standarized mean difference (SMD) from selected articles were were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 tool. Results: 10 RCTs from India and Indonesia were included in the meta-analysis. The use of combined education methods increased knowledge of oral hygiene compared to single education (SMD= 2.67; 95% CI= 1.05 to 4.30; p<0.001). Combined education method reduced plaque scores compared to single education (SMD= -0.82; 95% CI= -1.29 to -0.35; p<0.001). Conclusion: Combination education methods increase oral hygiene knowledge and reduce plaque scores in visually impaired children.

Abstract

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding has the potential to reduce the risk of neonatal death. Babies who do not start breastfeeding within the first hour after birth have a higher risk of death. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the Health Belief Model construct and early breastfeeding initiation behavior. Subjects and Method: The study was conducted in February-March 2024 with a sample of 200 mothers who had children aged 0-3 months at Posyandu in the Karanganyar Regency working area. This study used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional study approach. Sampling used was fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was early initiation of breastfeeding and the independent variables were perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action and self-efficacy. The data were collected using questionnaire and analyzed using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: This study provided empirical evidence that a number of constructs in the Health Belief Model can be used as predictors of early breastfeeding initiation. Mothers who have a high perceived vulnerability (OR= 4.48; CI 95%= 1.12 to 17.89; p= 0.034), high perceived severity (OR= 4.14; CI 95%= 1.16 to 14.87; p=0.029), high perceived benefit (OR= 4.37; CI 95%= 1.15 to 16.56; p=0.030), and high self-efficacy (OR= 16.76; CI 95%= 3.91 to 71.79; p <0.001) showed a positive relationship with increasing early breastfeeding initiation behavior. Conclusion: There is a positive relationship between perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy with early breastfeeding initiation behavior.

Abstract

Background: Since alcohol is obtained easily, so it tends to be widely abused. The factors that cause a teenager to consume alcohol are individual factors/individual personality, and envi­ron­mental factors. This study aims to estimate the factors that affect alcohol consumption in adolescents. Subjects and Method: This study used systematic review and meta-analysis using PICO. Population: adolescents. Interventions: drinking parents, drinking friends, smoking. Comparison: non-drinking parents, non-drinking friends, non-smoking. Result: alcohol consumption. The articles used in this study were derived from 2 databases, namely Google Scholar and Science Direct. The article's keywords were ""teenager" AND "drinking parents" AND "drinking friends" AND "smoke" AND “alcohol consumption". The articles included in this study were full paper articles, cross-sectional study design, publication year ranged from 2019-2023 and the measure of association used was Adjusted Odds Ratio. The articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application. Results: Seven cross-sectional studies showed that drinking friends increased alcohol consumption by 5.09 times compared to non-drinking friends, and the result was statistically significant (aOR=5.09; CI 95%= 2.64 to 9.81; p= 0.001). Seven cross-sectional studies showed that drinking parents increased alcohol consumption by 1.99 times compared to non-drinking parents, and the result was statistically significant (aOR=1.99; CI 95%= 1.50 to 2.64; p= 0.001). Seven cross-sectional studies showed that smoking can increase alcohol consumption by 2.09 times compared to nonsmoking, and the result was statistically significant (aOR=2.09; CI 95%= 1.32 to 3.30; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Smoking-adolescents, drinking parents, and drinking friends increase their likelihood of consuming alcohol.

Abstract

Background: Online bullying often occurs among teenagers. This is an important risk factor for self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation. This study aimed to analyze and estimate the magni­tude of the effect of online bullying on self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation in adolescents. Subjects and Method: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis using the PICO model. Population: Adolescents, Intervention: Online bullying, Comparison: No online bullying, Outcome: Self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation. The research data used was obtained through Google Scholar, Science Direct, BMC Public Health, and Scopus with the keywords (“Cyberbullying”) AND (“Self-harm”) AND (“Suicidal Ideation”) AND (“Mental Health”) AND (“Cross-sectional”). Inclusion criteria were cross-sectional articles in English published from 2014 to 2024. Data analysis was carried out using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: Meta-analysis was conducted on 8 primary studies with outcomes for self-harm behavior and 9 primary studies with outcomes for suicidal ideation. These primary studies come from Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, China, South Korea, Iran, Australia and America. The sample size was 47,708 adolescents for self-injurious behavior outcomes and 63,173 adolescents for suicidal ideation outcomes. Adolescents with online bullying are 3.64 times more likely to have self-injurious behavior (aOR= 3.64; 95% CI= 3.14 to 4.22; p<0.001) and 2.64 times more likely to have suicidal ideation (aOR= 2.64; 95% CI= 1.94 to 3.60; p<0.001) compared to adolescents without online bullying. The funnel plot indicates the existence of publication bias which tends to reduce the true effect (underestimate) on the outcome of suicidal ideation. Conclusion: Online bullying statistically significantly increases the risk of self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation in adolescents.
