Abstract

Background: The results of a survey by the Central Statistics Agency in 2021 reported that as many as 42.22% of the elderly population in Indonesia experience health problems. One of the factors that determines healthy behavior in the elderly is implementing healthy behavior. This study aims to examine the application of social cognitive theory as a determinant of healthy behavior of the elderly in Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study carried out at integrated health post (posyandu) in Grogol, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java, in June-July 2024. A sample of 200 elderly was selected purposively. Five villages were randomly selected. From each village, 6 primary strata Posyandu, 6 intermediate strata Posyandu, 6 purnama strata Posyandu, and 7 independent Posyandu were chosen. Then, from each selected Posyandu, 8 elderly individuals were randomly selected. The dependent variable is healthy behavior in the elderly. The independent variables are a number of constructs in social cognitive theory, namely observational learning, outcome expectation, outcome expectancy, reinforcement, and self-efficacy. Data were analyzed by multiple linear regression. Results: Healthy behaviors increased with observational learning (b= 0.17; 95% CI= 0.12 to 0.43; p= 0.001), outcome expectation (b=0.24; 95% CI= 0.02 to 0.473; p= 0.036), outcome expectancy (b= 0.36; 95% CI= 0.05 to 0.68; p= 0.025), reinforcement (b= 0.36; 95% CI= 0.10 to 0.84; p= 0.013),  and self efficacy (b= 0.55; 95% CI= 0.19 to 0.91; p= 0.003). Conclusion: Healthy behavior in the elderly is positively associated with observational learning, outcome expectation, outcome expectancy, reinforcement, and self efficacy.

Abstract

Background: Oral health problems are an important concern in health development, one of which is caused by the vulnerability of school-age children from oral and dental health disorders. School age is an important age in the growth and physical development of children. One of them is the habit of maintaining oral and dental health. This study aims to analyze and estimate the influence of HBM-based health education on oral and dental health in students. Subject and Method: The meta-analysis was performed according to the flow of the PRISMA diagram and the PICO model. The search for articles in this study is through databases that include PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct and Scopus. With keywords including: "Oral health" AND "Health Belief Model" AND "Students". Full paper article with RCT study, the subject of the study is the student, the measure of the relationship used is SMD, the outcome of the research is knowledge and perception of the severity of obesity prevention. Analysis was done with Revman 5.3 Results: There were 6 articles with randomized control trial designs from Iran and Hong Kong with 829 research samples. A meta-analysis of 6 randomized control trial studies  concluded that students who received HBM-based education had a 1.04-fold higher perceived benefit for improving oral health compared to students who did not receive education, and the effect was statistically significant (SMD= 1.04; CI 95%= 0.28 to 1.79; p= 0.007). A meta-analysis of 5 rando­mized control trial studies  concluded that students who received HBM-based education had a higher perception of severity to improve oral health 1.73 times compared to students who did not receive education, and the effect was statistically significant (SMD= 1.73; CI 95%= 0.49 to 2.98; p=0.006). Conclusion: HBM-based education has benefit to improve oral health.

Abstract

Background: Clinical epidemiological studies show that smoking and alcohol are often used together as social activities. Smoking and alcohol consumption are related to the risk of developing non-communicable diseases. According to data from the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI), (2023) the percentage of smokers in Surakarta City is 23.6% and the percentage of alcohol consumption is 1.4%. This study aims to analyze the influence of social capital on smoking behavior and alcohol consumption in adults. Subjects and Method: The research design used is a cross-sectional study. The population in this study is adults aged 19-59 years in the city of Surakarta. Sampling in the study was carried out by the snowball sampling method, then as many as 200 adults domiciled in the city of Surakarta were obtained. The method used in collecting data for this study is a questionnaire. The analysis used in this study is the Structural Equation Model (SEM) to analyze the influence of social capital elements on smoking behavior and alcohol consumption in adults. The dependent variables are smoking habits and alcohol consumption. The independent variable is social capital including 3 elements, namely structural elements, cognitive elements and relational elements. Results: Social capital had a negative effect on smoking behavior (b= -0.80; 95% CI= -0.88 to -0.71; p= 0.001), and social capital has a negative effect on alcohol consumption (b= -0.71; 95% CI= -0.80 to -0.63; p= 0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study show that social capital constructs include structural elements, cognitive elements and relational elements that are high have a lower likelihood of smoking behavior and alcohol consumption in adults.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a serious medical condition that poses a significant risk of mortality and long-term disability, making it one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Select­ing an appropriate therapy is crucial to enhancing the quality of life among post-stroke patients. The Health Belief Model (HBM), which emphasizes individual beliefs regarding health and illness, is thought to play a pivotal role in influencing patients' decisions when choosing therapeutic inter­ventions. This study aims to analyze the application of the Health Belief Model in the selection of acupuncture therapy among post-stroke patients. Subjects and Method: This study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted in Ngawi Regency from October to December 2024. 200 samples of post-stroke patients were taken using the fixed disease sampling technique, consisting of 100 patients undergoing acupuncture and 100 patients undergoing physiotherapy. Dependent variables were the preference of acupuncture therapy and physiotherapy. Independent variables were perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy. Data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed using path analysis on STATA 17. Results: The preference for acupuncture therapy was directly influenced by self-efficacy (b=3.41; CI95%=2.59 to 4.23; p<0.001). Self-efficacy to undergo acupuncture therapy was influenced by the perceived benefits (=2.75; CI95%=1.74 to 3.75; p<0.001), perceived barrier (b=-0.94; CI95%=-1.96 to 0.80; p<0.001), and cues to action (b=3.36; CI95%=2.32 to 4.40; p<0.001). Perceived benefit was influenced by perceived severity (b=1.25; CI95%=0.62 to 1.88; p<0.001). Conclusion: Self-efficacy directly influences the preference for acupuncture therapy. Meanwhile, the perceived benefit, the perceived barrier, and cues of action indirectly affect the preference for acupuncture therapy through self-efficacy. Perceived benefit was influenced by severity perception.

Abstract

Background: Circumstances in the early stages of development have a tremendous impact on a person's risk of developing diseases in adulthood. Numerous diseases can start in childhood and are generated by various traumas in early life, including improper treatment during pregnancy, maternal malnutrition, and maternal disease, one of which is diseases related to reproductive health. Premarital health screening is a series of tests that must be carried out by prospective brides and grooms before marriage, which aims to reduce the burden of inherited diseases by reducing the number of high-risk marriages. This study aimed to analyze the use of health screen­ing among pre-marital couples through the Social Cognitive Theory. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Nias, Indonesia, in October-November 2024. A sample of 200 brides and grooms was selected using fixed disease sampling. The data were collected using questionnaire and analyzed using a path analysis. Results: Outcome expectation was positively and indirectly associated with pre-marital health screening (b= 0.58; 95% CI= 0.01 to 1.15; p= 0.046). Knowledge, reinforcement, and observational learning were indirectly associated with pre-marital health screening among pre-marital couples. Conclusion: Social cognitive theory can be used to predict health screening uptake among pre-marital couples.

Abstract

Background: Social Cognitive Theory was selected as the framework of this study because it can be used to explain, prevent, or reduce risky behaviors such as e-cigarette use. This study aimed to analyze and predict the behavior of quitting e-cigarettes through social cognitive theory among students. Subjects and Method: This study was conducted in October-November 2024 with a sample of 200 students. The study was a cross-sectional study with study subjects selected using the fixed disease sampling technique. The dependent variable was the behavior of quitting using e-cigarettes. And the independent variables were knowledge, self-regulation, outcome expectation, self-efficacy, and observational learning. Results: Quitting e-cigarettes was directly influenced by self-efficacy (b= 1.63; CI 95%= 0.93 to 2.33; p< 0.001) and outcome expectation (b= 0.82; CI 95%= 0.15 to 1.50; p= 0.017). Self-efficacy was directly influenced by knowledge (b= 0.94; CI 95%= 0.32 to 1.57; p= 0.003). Likewise, the outcome expectation was influenced by knowledge (b= 0.90; CI 95%= 0.28 to 1.53; p= 0.004). Knowledge was influenced by observational learning (b= 1.28; CI 95%= 0.65 to 1.92; p< 0.001). And self-regulation was influenced by the decision to quit using e-cigarettes (b=0.94; CI 95%= 0.37 to 1.51; p=0.001). Conclusion: This study concludes that constructs in Social Cognitive Theory can be used as a predictor of quitting e-cigarettes.

Abstract

Background: Post-stroke symptoms include limb weakness, paralysis, loss of balance, pain and numbness, memory and cognitive disorders, and urinary and digestive problems. The recovery process in post-stroke patients takes a long time, therefore, the patient needs to adhere to acupuncture therapy for recovery. This study aims to analyze the influence of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action on acupuncture therapy adherence in post-stroke patients. Subjects and Method: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted in Yogyakarta, from November to December 2024. A total of 205 patients were selected using random sampling. The dependent variable was adherence to acupuncture therapy in post-stroke patients. Independent variables were perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, and cues to action. The data were analyzed using path analysis. Results: Adherence to acupuncture therapy increased with increased perceived susceptibility (b= 1.19; 95% CI= -0.13 to 2.27; p=0.081), perceived severity (b= 2.16; 95% CI= 0.81 to 3.31; p= 0.001), perceived benefits (b= 1.71; 95% CI= 0.98 to 2.45; p<0.001), self-efficacy (b= 0.73; 95% CI= 0.11 to 1.36; p= 0.022) and cues to action (b= 1.77; 95% CI= 1.08 to 2.45; p<0.001). Conclusion: There is a positive relationship between perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, and cues to action on adherence to acupuncture therapy in post-stroke patients. The perceived benefits and self-efficacy are a direct influence on adherence to acupuncture therapy in post-stroke patients, while the perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and cues to action are indirect influences.

Abstract

Background: There is no safe level of cigarette smoke, but not everyone can avoid the exposure. Public health students are expected to bring changes to healthy behaviors in the community, including getting the right to have air free from cigarette smoke through various preventive efforts. Therefore, this study aims to identify the behavior of public health students at Universitas Sriwijaya as passive smokers, and its correlation with knowledge and attitudes. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Universitas Sriwijaya, South Sumatera, Indonesia, from February to March 2025. A sample of undergraduate students of Public Health was selected using purposive sampling. The dependent variable was smoking behavior. The independent variables were knowledge and attitude. Data were analyzed using a multiple logistic regression. Results: Passive smoking behavior among college students was influenced by knowledge (b = 0.17; 95% CI = –0.14 to 0.47; p = 0.103) and attitude (b = 0.61; 95% CI = 0.26 to 0.96; p = 0.001). While knowledge showed a positive but not statistically significant association with passive smoking behavior, attitude showed a statistically significant positive association. Conclusion: Passive smoking behavior among college students is influenced by knowledge and attitude. Knowledge and attitude have positive association with passive smoking behavior.
