Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a priority disease that not only requires control efforts but is also important for prevention efforts. Complications that occur in type II DM patients can be prevented with tertiary preventive behavior. This tertiary preventive behavior can be done by applying the Information Motivation Behavior (IMB) skill model. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of the application based on the IMB model on tertiary prevention behavior in type II DM patients. Subjects and Method: This study is cross sectional from April-May 2024. The sample used was 200 type 2 DM patients aged >18 years and selected by random sampling technique at the Blora Health Center, Central Java. The dependent variable was the tertiary preventive behavior of type 2 DM patients. The independent variables were information, motivation and behavioral skills. Data collection using questionnaires and data analysis using path analysis with Stata 13. Results: Tertiary preventive behavior of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was directly influenced by behavioral skills (b= 5.80; CI 95%= 4.73 to 6.87; p <0.001), information (b= 1.25; CI 95%= 0.01 to 2.50; p= 0.047) and gender (b= -1.60; CI 95%= -0.60 to -2.59; p= 0.002). Tertiary preventive behavior of type 2 DM patients through behavioral skills is indirectly influenced by information, motivation, age and education. Information is indirectly influenced by motivation and education. There was no significant effect on gender on behavioral skills. Conclusion: Tertiary preventive behavior is directly influenced by behavioral skills, information and gender. Tertiary preventive behavior is indirectly influenced by information, motivation, age, and education through behavioral skills. Tertiary preventive behavior is indirectly influenced by gender and education through information.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is a significant developmental stage marked by notable physical, psychological, and social changes. Adolescent reproductive health surveys show that a number of teenagers report engaging in premarital sexual intercourse without fully understanding its social and health consequences. Given this phenomenon, it is crucial to understand the factors that can protect them from risky sexual behaviors, particularly starting from the family. This study aimed to estimate the impact of family communication on risky sexual behavior in adolescents. Subjects and Method: This research is a meta-analysis and systematic review using the PRISMA diagram with PICO frame work (P= adolescent; I = parental communication; C= no parental communication; O= risky sexual behavior). Primary studies were searched through several indexing databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Keywords used to facilitate the search for articles include: “parental participation,” or “parental communication,” or “family interaction,” or “sexual risk” or “sexual risk behavior” AND “adults” or “adolescents.” The inclusion criteria for this study are articles published using a cross-sectional study design up to 2024. The statistical analysis used in this study was conducted using the RevMan 5.4 meta-analysis program with both fixed effect and random effect approaches to present the data in the form of forest plots and funnel plots. Results: A total 9 Articles were included in the meta-analysis. The results of the study show that adolescents with low family participation in sexual education, or in the absence of parental communication, are 1.46 times more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior compared to adolescents who receive sexual education or have parental communication, and this result is statistically significant (aOR= 1.46; CI 95%= 1.43 to 1.49; p<0.001). Conclusion: adolescents with low family participation in sexual education, or in the absence of parental communication are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior compared to adolescents who receive sexual education or have parental communication.

Abstract

Background: Menstruation, a normal part of puberty, is frequently misinterpreted because of societal stigma and limited access to proper education. Educational settings and peer-based programs are key in enhancing both menstrual and nutritional health, which are vital to supporting the overall well-being of adolescent girls. This Study aims to explore the factors influencing the promotion of menstrual health through nutrition education and peer-based interventions for adolescent girls using a scoping review methodology. Subject and Method: This scoping review was conducted using data obtained from PubMed Central, Science Direct and Google Scholar. The target population includes adolescent girl related to their menstrual health, nutritional education and peer-based intervention. A search was conducted using the keywords “Menstrual health" AND "nutritional education" AND "peer-based inter­ventions" AND ("adolescent girls" OR "teen girls" OR "adolescent health") AND ("menstruation" OR "menstrual hygiene" OR "menstrual health promotion") AND ("nutrition" OR "diet" OR "healthy eating") AND ("peer support" OR "peer education" OR "peer-led programs"), yielding 4.245  articles, which were then filtered down to 7 relevant articles after applying a 10-year time frame. Results: Several factors influence the promotion of menstrual health through nutrition education and peer-based interventions for adolescent girls. These include social support from peers, skills-based education, family involvement (especially mothers), sufficient nutrition literacy, psychosocial factors such as self-confidence and self-control, the role of schools as a health education platform, and the theoretical models used in the program, such as the Theory of Planned Behavior. Conclusion: Peer-led and skills-based education improves health outcomes for adolescent girls. Combining peer support, family involvement, and active learning enhances program success. Schools and communities should adopt these models to address adolescent health issues effectively.

Abstract

Background: The tradition of basunat or circumsised on baby girls is still carried out by the Banjaresse in South Kalimantan as part of a cultural heritage that is believed to be related to purity, family honor, and a smooth delivery process. Although it has no medical basis and is prohibited by law, this practice is still preserved on the basis of social, cultural, and religious values that develop in the community. This study aims to examine the form of basunat implementation on baby girls in the Banjar community and evaluate its impact on reproductive health. Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with a descriptive-exploratory approach. The study was conducted in Tapin, Barito Kuala, Banjarmasin, and Banjar Districts of South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The informants were village shamans, midwives, indigenous people, and women who had been circumcised. Data were collected through documentation and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using data reduction techniques, narrative presentation, and drawing conclusions. Results: The study showed that the practice of circumcision is still commonly carried out symbo­lically and physically, generally by village shamans with traditional tools that are not sterile. The community still believes that circumcision can smooth the delivery process and is a cultural or religious obligation. However, this practice has the potential to have negative impacts on women's physical and psychological health Conclusion: Policy interventions that prioritize local culture-based education and the involve­ment of religious and community leaders are needed. This approach can help change public perception and support the sustainable elimination of this tradition.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is a disease that requires attention in global health issues. Tuber­culosis is a disease with a high mortality rate. Although a cure for tuberculosis has been discovered, the treatment process remains challenging, particularly the length of treatment. Tuberculosis pati­ents often fail to complete their treatment due to the lengthy duration. Support from loved ones and a supportive environment is crucial for tuberculosis patients during their treatment. With this support, tuberculosis patients will have a support system that can assist them in their treatment. This study aims to estimate the effect of social support on treatment compliance in tuberculosis patients. Subjects and Method: This study used a systematic review and meta-analysis using PICO. Population: tuberculosis patients. Intervention: social support. Comparison: no social support. Outcome: treatment adherence. The articles used in this study came from 2 databases, namely Google Scholar and Science Direct. The keywords of the article are "tuberculosis" AND ("social support" OR "support system") AND ("adherence" OR "compliance") AND "cross sectional" AND "multivariate". This study uses articles published in 2019 to 2025 with full paper articles, cross-sectional study designs, and the magnitude of the Adjusted Odds Ratio relationship. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: Eleven cross-sectional studies showed that social support can increase tuberculosis treatment adherence by 1.44 times compared to tuberculosis patients who do not receive social support, and this result is statistically significant (aOR = 1.44; 95% CI = 1.03 to 2.01; p = 0.03). The forest plot also shows high heterogeneity of effect estimates between primary studies I2 = 84%. The calculation of the average effect estimate was carried out using the random effect model approach. Conclusion: Good social support can help improve treatment adherence in patients with tuberculosis.

Abstract

Background: The health of the elderly is influenced by various risk factors and changes from within themselves and their environment. These various conditions can affect health problems, functional status, level of independence and quality of life of the elderly. Deterioration of health in the elderly can manifest in a variety of diseases, including hypertension. Efforts to control the incidence of hypertension can be done through the provision of health education about hyper­ten­sion, which aims to raise awareness of hypertensives about the concept of hypertension, compli­cations, and how to overcome. This study aims to examine the application of the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a predictor by taking into account the contextual effects of the Elderly Integrated Healthcare Posts in Kepanjen, Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Subjects and Method: This study was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach using a multilevel analysis model. The population in this study was all elderly people with hypertension at the Elderly Integrated Healthcare Posts in the working area of Kepanjen Commu­nity Health Center, Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The sample in this study was 200 elderly with hypertension at the Elderly Integrated Healthcare Posts in the Kepanjen Community Health Center Working Area, Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The study used the Stratified Sampling technique at the healthcare level (Elderly Integrated Healthcare Posts), and Stratified Random Sampling in the selection of the elderly. Results: Tertiary prevention behavior among elderly with hypertension increased with high self-efficacy (b= 0.57; CI 95%= 0.39 to 0.73; p<0.001), cues to action (b= 0.27; CI 95%= 0.35 to 1.71; p<0.001), female gender (b= 0.76; CI 95%= 0.10 to 0.42;  p<0.001), age 70-90 years (b= 0.37; CI 95%= -0.01 to 0.75; p= 0.060). Integrated health posts for elderly on the tertiary prevention beha­vior of hypertension. The Integrated Healthcare Posts had contextual effect on tertiary prevention behavior (ICC=29.87%; p<0.001). Conclusion: Tertiary prevention behavior of hypertension in the elderly increases with high self-efficacy, cues to action, female gender, age 70-90 years.
