Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) has different negative impacts in some people around the world. There are many risk factors of LBP, either biology, psychology, or social economics. A psychological theory (Health Belief Model/HBM) can be applied for preventive behaviors of some human diseases. This study aimed to analyze the application of HBM on preventive behaviors of patients with LBP.Subjects and Method: This was a case-control study conducted at the medical rehabilitation policlinic, Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, from October to November 2018. A sample of 50 LBP patients and 100 non-LBP patients was selected by fixed exposure sampling. The dependent variable was preventive behaviors. The independent variables were perceived severity, susceptibility, benefit, barrier, threat, cues to action, and self-efficacy. Data on LBP was obtained from medical record. The other data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: LBP preventive behaviors were directly and positively associated with perceived threat (b= 0.46; 95% CI= 0.24 to 0.68; p<0.001), perceived benefit (b= 0.29; 95% CI= 0.18 to 0.40; p<0.001), and self-efficacy (b= 0.16; 95% CI= 0.08 to 0.23; p<0.001). It was indirectly associated with perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barrier, and cues to action.Conclusion: LBP preventive behaviors are directly and positively associated with perceived threat, perceived benefit, and self-efficacy. It is indirectly associated with perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barrier, and cues to action. This study supports the application of HBM to explain LBP preventive behaviors.Keywords: low back pain, Health Belief Model, path analysisCorrespondence: Septi Ayu Arum Yuspita Sari.

Abstract

Background: Gender dysphoria refers to discomfort or distress that is caused by a discrepancy between an individual’s gender identity and the gender assigned at birth (and the associated gender role and/or primary and secondary sex characteristics). Gender reassignment surgery is performed to change primary and/or secondary sex characteristics. For a male to female gender reassignment, surgical procedures may include genital reconstruction (vaginoplasty, penectomy, orchidectomy, clitoroplasty) and cosmetic surgery (breast implants, facial reshaping, rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, thyroid chondroplasty (laryngeal shaving), voice modification surgery (vocal cord shortening), hair transplants). This study aimed to examine the determinants of cosmetic hormones among transgender in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in November 2018. A sample of 201 transgender was selected by snowball sampling and fixed disease sampling, consisting of 67 transgender using cosmetic hormone and 134 transgender not using the cosmetic hormone. The dependent variable was the use of cosmetic hormones. The independent variables were age, knowledge, education, intention, attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Cosmetic hormone use was directly increased by strong intention (b= 1.65; 95% CI= 0.98 to 2.31; p<0.001), positive attitude (b= 1.15; 95% CI= 0.48 to 1.81; p= 0.001), but decreased by strong perceived behavioral control not to use cosmetic hormone (b= -1.02; 95% CI= -1.70 to -0.34; p=0.003). Cosmetic hormone use was indirectly affected by age, education, locus of control, attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and social norm.Conclusion: Cosmetic hormone use is directly increased by strong intention, positive attitude, but decreased by strong perceived behavioral control not to use the cosmetic hormone. Cosmetic hormone use is indirectly affected by age, education, the locus of control, attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and social norm.Keywords: cosmetic hormone, transgender, Theory of Planned BehaviorCorrespondence: Destinady Kadiser Miden.

Abstract

Background: Rapid physical growth occurs during adolescence period. Physical fitness is a key indicator for general health, which shows individual ability of cardiorespirationand skeletal muscles to adapt to physical activity load. Many factors can influence physical fitness such as Body Mass Index for age (BMI/age), physical exercise, sleep quality and parental education. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of BMI/age, physical exercise, sleep quality and parental education with physical fitness levels among male adolescences.Subjects and Methods:  This cross-sectional study was conducted in three private senior high schools at the Gondokusuman district, Yogyakarta. Study subjects were selected using the fixed exposure sampling technique with inclusion criteria: male adolescence who aged 15-18 years old and had normal or more BMI/age. The dependent variable was physical fitness. The independent variables were BMI/age, physical exercise, sleep quality, and parental education.  The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Physical exercise (b= 0.32; SE= 0.46; p<0.001) and BMI/age (b= -2.87; SE= 0.27; p= <0.001) were directly related to physical fitness. Indirect relationship was found inparent education and sleep index score with physical fitness through physical exercise. Interestingly, BMI/age had direct and indirect relationship to physical fitness.Conclusion: BMI/age is a predominant factor that influences physical fitness in male adolescences. Sleep quality and parent education also influence physical fitness, but they had the opposite direction. All those factors should be considered as key factors in order to enhance physical fitness in male adolescences.Keywords: physical exercise, sleep quality, physical fitness, male adolescenceCorrespondence: Hayu Andita Satriani.
