Abstract

Hypertension, a major global public health issue, affects millions worldwide and is defined as persistently elevated blood pressure (?140/90 mmHg) on two or more occasions. Globally, the prevalence of hypertension surged from 594 million in 1975 to 1.13 billion in 2015. In Bangladesh, the prevalence has risen alarmingly from 16% in 2012 to 35.6% in 2014, with an average prevalence of 12.2%. This study explores self-care behaviors and social support among 183 hypertensive patients at Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital, Barishal. Using the Hypertension Self-Care Behavior and Perceived Social Support scales, lifestyle modifications and social support levels were assessed. Results revealed low self-care practices (M = 2.22, SD = 0.22) and moderate social support (M = 5.74, SD = 1.03). Significant differences in self-care behaviors were associated with gender (p = 0.04), living status (p = 0.01), family history (p = 0.000), comorbidities (p = 0.01), and stress management (p = 0.000). Social support varied significantly with income (p = 0.007), family type (p = 0.01), and comorbidities (p = 0.000). These findings highlight critical demographic factors influencing hypertension management. Tailored interventions addressing self-care and enhancing social support are essential for improving health outcomes among hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Background: Health promotion behaviors are essential in shaping lifelong health habits among adolescents. In Bangladesh, adolescents encounter various health challenges, yet limited research exists on their health-promoting behaviors. Aim: This study investigated the health promotion behaviors of adolescents in Bangladesh.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 103 adolescents aged 12–18 years in Bangladesh. Participants were recruited using a convenient sampling method. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire designed to assess health behaviors and analyzed using SPSS version 26. Both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were applied.Results: The mean age of the participants was 15.12 years (SD = 0.771). The findings revealed significant relationships between health promotion behaviors and several demographic factors: mothers’ education level (F = 4.264, p = 0.003), fathers’ education level (F = 12.011, p = 0.000), fathers’ occupation (F = 6.455, p = 0.002), sources of health information (F = 4.814, p = 0.004), and family type (t = 2.212, p = 0.029). Conclusion: The study highlights significant associations between demographic characteristics and health promotion behaviors among adolescents in Bangladesh. To enhance these behaviors, interventions focusing on parental involvement, peer education, and better access to recreational facilities are recommended. Policymakers and health educators should prioritize these areas to improve health outcomes in this critical age group.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out whether extracts from avocado and papaya leaves can suppress the growth of the Eschericia coli ATCC 25922 bacterium. This study used a post-test-only control group design, which is typical of genuine experiments. The antibacterial activity of avocado leaf and papaya leaf extracts was tested using the well diffusion method. The concentration ratios of the extracts were 25%:75%, 50%:50%, and 75%:25%. The growth of Eschericia coli ATCC 25922 was used as a positive control, and aquadest as a negative control. The inhibition zone data was analyzed using the one way anova test. Both extracts tested positive for flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins, according to this study. The average diameter of the inhibition zone was 15.99 mm, 18.44 mm, and 24.36 mm, respectively, when the concentration ratio was 25%:75%, 50%:50%, and 75%: 25%. On average, the positive control group's inhibition zone measured 27.79 mm in diameter. A one-way ANOVA test revealed a significant difference between all treatments and the positive control group (p=0.000, sig.<0.05). Findings indicate that a 75%:25% mixture of avocado and papaya leaf extracts, with a very strong category, has the most effective antibacterial action.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy is a serious health problem that can adversely affect both mother and fetus. The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in Indonesia increased from 37.1% in 2013 to 48.9% in 2018, well above the national target of 28%. Factors such as nutritional status, birth spacing, and parity are known to contribute to the incidence of anemia. This study aims to analyze the effect of nutritional status, birth spacing, and parity on anemia in pregnant women based on a literature review. The method used was literature review from electronic sources such as Google Scholar, PubMed, BioMed Central (BMC), and SINTA with inclusion criteria of articles published between 2019-2024. The results showed that poor nutritional status increased the risk of anemia up to 6 times, pregnancy spacing <2 years related to decreased hemoglobin levels, and high parity increased the risk of anemia due to lack of iron recovery. In conclusion, nutritional status, pregnancy spacing, and parity affect the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.

Abstract

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) remain a global public health issue, with syphilis being one of the most prevalent. Syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum, is transmitted through sexual contact and from mother to fetus. It can spread to genital tissues, causing painful sores that impact mobility, daily activities, and income among commercial sex workers (CSWs). This study examines factors associated with syphilis incidence among CSWs. A quantitative study with an observational case-control design was conducted. A total of 129 respondents were selected through purposive sampling with a 1:2 ratio between the case group (43 CSWs diagnosed with syphilis) and the control group (86 CSWs without syphilis). Secondary data were obtained from medical records, while primary data were collected using questionnaires via Google Forms. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The findings showed significant associations between age (OR: 7.479; p = 0.034) and education level (OR: 3.304; p = 0.022) with syphilis incidence. These results highlight the importance of age and education in syphilis occurrence. Targeted health interventions, including better education and improved healthcare access for CSWs, are essential in reducing syphilis cases.
