Abstract

Background: It is estimated that approximately 10 million children die every year worldwide. Forty five percent of those deaths are caused by malnutrition either directly or indirectly. Studies have shown that breastfeeding in the first hour can reduce neonatal death to 22%. However, breastfeeding practice in the first hour of life reaches only 43% of the newborns in the world. In South Asia, early initiation of breastfeeding is only 41% of the newborn, while in Indonesia it is only 34.5%. This study aimed to determine the effect of socio-demographic and obstetric factors on early initiation of breastfeeding in Tegal District, Central Java.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with cross-sectional design. This study was conducted at 4 Community Health Centers (Puskesmas Pagiyanten, Puskesmas Pagerbarang, Puskesmas Bum­ijawa, Puskesmas Jatinegara) and Dr. Soeselo hospital, Tegal District, Central Java, from February to March 2017. A sample of 121 post partum mothers were selected for this study by  exhaustive sampling. The dependent variable was time from birth delivery to breastfeeding. The independent variables were maternal education, maternal employment status, maternal knowledge, family income, parity, antenatal care (ANC) visit, and health provider support. The data were collected by questionnaire and were analyzed by multiple logistic regression.Results: Early initiation of breastfeeding was positively affected by maternal education ≥ High School (OR=3.90; 95% CI=1.14-13.37; p=0.030), maternal work outside the house (OR=7.93; 95% CI=1.68 to 37.52; p=0.009), ANC ≥ 4 times (OR=3.48; 95% CI=0.82 to 14.81; p=0.092), and strong  health provider support (OR=12.58; 95% CI=4.30 to 36.77; p<0.001)Conclusion: Early initiation of breastfeeding is positively affected by maternal education ≥ High School, maternal work outside the house, ANC ≥ 4 times, and strong  health provider support.Keywords: Socio demographic, obstetric factor, early initiation breastfeedingCorrespondence: Juhrotun Nisa.

Abstract

Background: Sexuality is an important and inseparable part of a womans life. Mood and sexual related side-effects are frequently expressed problems by women of reproductive age who use hormonal contraceptives. This study aimed to analyze the effect of combined oral contraceptives on sexual function among women of reproductive age in Jombang District, East Java.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study using cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at 5 community health centers (Mojoagung, Mojowarno, Jogoloyo, Jelak Ombo and Perak), Jombang District, East Java, from February to March 2017. A sample 120 women of reproductive age who use combined oral contraceptives was selected for this study. The dependent variable was female sexual function. The independent variables were combined oral  contraceptives use, age, parity, menstrual cycle, depression, and body mass index. The data on depression was measured by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Body mass index was measured by anthropometry. Female sexual function was measured by female sexual function index. The data were analyzed by path analysis.Results: Female sexual function was negatively influenced by age (b=-0.21; SE = 0.05; p<0.001), depression (b= -0.44; SE=0.12; p<0.001), body mass index (b=-0.16; SE= 0.09; p=0.063), and duration of oral contraceptive use (b=-0.20; SE=0.13; p=0.121). Depression was influenced by body mass index (b=0.14; SE=0.07; p=0.037), duration of oral contraceptive use (b=0.30; SE= 0.10; p=0.003), and age (b=0.09; SE=0.04; p=0.018). Body mass index was influenced by age (b= 0.10; SE=0.05; p=0.036), and duration of oral contraceptive use (b= 0.48, SE = 0.13; p<0.001). Menstrual cycle was influenced by duration of oral contraceptive use (b =-0.05, SE=0.13, p=0.007), age (b=-0.02; SE=0.01; p=0.002), and body mass index (b=-0.05; SE=0.11; p<0.001).Conclusion: Female sexual function is negatively influenced by age, depression, body mass index, and duration of oral contraceptive use.Keywords: bio-psychology factor, oral contraceptive, female sexual functionCorrespondence: Zeny Fatmawati.

Abstract

Background: It is estimated that the worldwide annual incidence of child pneumonia is approximately 156 million cases. Sixty-one million new cases occure in Southeast Asia with death rate of 3.1 million deaths per year. Prevalence of infant pneumonia in Indonesia is high at 1.8% in 2013 with mortality of 0.16% in 2015. This study aimed to determine the role of bio-psychosocial factors on the risk of pneumonia in children under-five years old. Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study using cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at Dr. Moe¬wardi Hospital, Surakarta, from April to May 2017. A sample 120 children under five years old, consisting of 30 children with pneumonia and 90 children without pneumonia, were selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was incidence of pneumonia. The independent variables were nutritional status, exclusive breastfeeding, low birthweight, maternal stress, maternal education, maternal employment, family income, and home environment. Nutritional status was measured by anthropometry, while other variables were collected by questionnaire. Path analysis was employed to analyze data. Results: Pneumonia in children under-five was directly affected by nutritional status (b= -1.23; 95% CI=-2.45 to -0.02; p=0.047), exclusive breastfeeding (b=-1.09; 95% CI=-2.26 to 0.07; p= 0.065), maternal stress (b= 1.70; 95% CI =0.36 to 3.04; p=0.013), maternal education (b=-1.96; 95% CI=-3.31 to -0.61; p=0.004), and home environment (b=-1.83; 95% CI = -3.02 to -0.64; p=0.002). Nutritional status was affected by maternal education (b=3.48; 95% CI=1.79 to 5.17; p<0.001), maternal stress (b=-2.55; 95% CI=-4.06 to -1.04; p=0.001), family income (b=3.26; CI 95%=1.67 to 4.84; p<0.001), and low birthweight (b= -1.84; 95% CI=-3.12 to -0.57; p= 0.005). Exclusive breastfeeding was affected by maternal education (b=0.97; 95% CI=0.09 to 1.86; p=0.031), maternal stress (b=-0.74; 95% CI=-1.69 to 0.19; p=0.112), family income (b=1.39; CI 95%=0.54 to 2.23; p=0.001), and maternal employment (b=-1.29; 95% CI=-2.14 to -0.45; p=0.003). Maternal stress was affected by home environment (b=-1.12; 95% CI=-1.96 to -0.29; p=0.009 Home environment was affected by maternal education (b=0.76; 95% CI=-0.03 to 1.54; p=0.059). Low birthweight was affected by maternal education (b=-1.21; 95% CI=-2.08 to -0.35; p=0.006) and family income (b=-1.50; 95% CI=-2.35 to -0.66; p<0.001). Conclusion: Pneumonia in children under-five is directly affected by nutritional status children, exclusive breastfeeding, maternal education, maternal stress, and home environment. Keywords: pneumonia, biopsychosocial factors Correspondence: Nining Lestari.

The study was conducted in Bendo Village, Bendo Village, Sumberbendo Village, Pelem Village, Darungan Village, and Sambirejo Village in Community Health Center Bendo, Kediri, East Java, from 8-31 March 2017. A sample of 120 menopausal women was selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was age at menopause. The independent variables were hormonal contraceptive use, duration of contraceptive use, parity, education level, and family income. The data were collected by questionnaire, and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Menopausal age was affected by duration of hormonal contraceptive use (b= 0.29; SE= 0.12; p= 0.014), parity (b= 1.98; SE= 0.49; p= 0.001), and family income (b= 2.29; SE= 0.88; p= 0.009). Duration of hormonal contraceptive use was affected by hormonal contraceptive use (b= 5.23; SE= 0.57; p= 0.001) and parity (b= 1.22; SE= 0.27; p= 0.001). Family income was affected by parity (b= 0.14; SE= 0.05; p= 0.002) and education level (b= 0.10; SE= 0.11; p= 0.361).Conclusion: Menopausal age is directly affected by duration of hormonal contraceptive use, parity, and family income. Menopausal age is indirectly affected by hormonal contraceptive use, parity, and education level.Keywords: menopausal age, hormonal contraceptive, parity, social economic factors, path analysisCorrespondence: Estin Gita Maringga.
