Abstract

Knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS in Papua among adolescents is still very limited, while there is a 3% HIV prevalence among adolescents. This study aims to determine the difference in knowledge regarding reproductive health and HIV/AIDS between students in Natural Sciences major and Social Sciences major at urban and rural senior high schools in Papua Province. This was a cross-sectional study. The Slovin formula was applied for sample calculation to obtained a total sample of 159 students in Natural Science and Social Sciences majors at SMA Negeri 4 of Jayapura City and SMA Negeri 1 of Keerom District in Papua Province. The study samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Statistical tests in this study applied the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the study showed that there was a difference in the level of knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS between students in the Natural Sciences major and Social Sciences major at urban and rural senior high schools (p=0.003). It can be concluded that the level of knowledge of students in natural Sciences majors was higher than that of students in natural Sciences majors at urban and rural senior high schools. Students in Natural Sciences major had a more positive attitude towards HIV/AIDS prevention than students in Social Sciences major studies at urban and rural senior high schools. It is expected that further researchers can develop research variables and research subjects as well as research methods to explore the topic related to the incidence of HIV/AIDS among adolescents.

Abstract

Perineal wounds in postpartum mothers that do not heal promptly within several days can lead to infections. Nutritional status is also considered a crucial factor in the wound-healing process. Mothers with good nutritional status tend to experience faster healing of perineal wounds, including those with protein intake from processed soy milk. This research aims to determine the impact of soy milk consumption on the duration of perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers at the Independent Midwife Practice (IMP) Sriwati Palu. The study design employed a pre-experimental design with an Intact Group Comparison approach. The sample consisted of 16 postpartum mothers with second-degree perineal wounds at the IMP Sriwati Palu, selected through quota sampling. Univariate and bivariate analyses using the Mann-Whitney U test were conducted. The research findings indicate that respondents who consumed soy milk were four times more likely to experience faster healing compared to those who did not consume soy milk. The Mann-Whitney U test yielded a ρ-value of 0.000 (<0.05), suggesting a statistically significant influence of soy milk consumption on the duration of perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers at the IMP Sriwati Palu. In conclusion, soy milk consumption has a significant impact on the duration of perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers at the IMP Sriwati Palu.

Abstract

  The nutritional status of pregnant women can be determined by measuring the size of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and body mass index (BMI). Women with excessive nutritional status have a high risk of various complications. This study aims to describe the nutritional status and blood glucose levels of pregnant women at the Ubud Health Center, Bali. This descriptive study was conducted on 27 pregnant women who had antenatal care at the Ubud Health Center. MUAC size was measured using a measuring tape, while BMI was measured by calculating body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Blood glucose levels were measured using the point of care testing (POCT) method. From 27 respondents, it was found that 23 respondents had normal MUAC, 3 respondents had less than normal, and 1 respondent was obese. Based on BMI, 14 respondents had normal BMI, 5 respondents were overweight, and 8 respondents were obese. For blood glucose levels, all respondents have normal levels. Respondents who have MUAC less than normal can be at risk of chronic energy deficiency, while respondents with the obese category can be at risk of GDM, hypertension, and cesarean section. Pregnant women with GDM can increase the risk of type 2 DM, cardiovascular disease and have the potential to give birth macrosomic babies. Pregnant women with GDM almost never give complaints, so screening is necessary. Screening can be done by measuring the nutritional status of pregnant women and blood glucose levels during antenatal care at health center.

Abstract

  Palu City is the capital of Central Sulawesi Province which is prone to earthquakes because there is a fault in the earth's crust known as the Palu-Koro fault. There were 3 disasters at once in Central Sulawesi, namely the earthquake, tsunami and liquefaction in 2018. Natural disasters can have an impact on various kinds of losses experienced by the community, including nutritional disorders and disrupted components of food security. Toddlers are the group most vulnerable to nutritional problems and food insecurity in disaster situations up to post-disaster. This study aims to determine household food security and nutritional status of children under five after the disaster in Palu City. This research is a descriptive type of research using a cross-sectional by looking at the relationship between household food security and the nutritional status of children under five after the disaster in Palu City. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total sample of 101 respondents consisting of mothers and toddlers. The instruments used were the USDA questionnaire to assess food security and measurements of length or height and weight to measure the nutritional status of children under five. Data collection used a USDA questionnaire to assess household food security and the BB/U index was used to assess the nutritional status of children under five. There is no significant relationship between food security and nutritional status of children under five after the disaster in Palu City. This can happen because children under five with nutritional status of normal or abnormal weight 76.24% come from families with high food security scores. In addition, the existence of good food distribution in Palu City after the disaster occurred was also a cause of good food availability.

Abstract

Breast milk contains all the nutrients needed by the body, evidenced by the results of scientific evidence about the benefits of breast milk for the baby's immune system, growth and development, babies who are not exclusively breastfed have a higher risk of disease. The purpose of the researcher is to discuss further about the effect of exclusive breastfeeding on the nutritional status of infants aged 6 months at PMB Dian Dwi Anggraini, Bogor Regency 2022. The observational research design is analytical, cross-sectional with purposive sample sampling, data analysis comparison of independent variables with dependent variables, with independent T-Test statistical tests. Based on the results of independent T-test analysis in the study, the average body weight of exclusively breastfed infants (6.03 kg) and non-exclusive breastfeeding (5.57 kg) was obtained, while the average body length was obtained from exclusively breastfed infants (59.0 cm) and in non-exclusively breastfed infants (57.92 cm), for nutritional status in exclusively breastfed infants obtained 0.14 (Z score) and Non-exclusive breastfeeding 0.97 (Z score). This shows that exclusive breastfeeding affects the nutritional status of infants who are exclusively breastfed and those who are not exclusively breastfed very significantly with a p-value of > 0.01.

Abstract

Telephysiotherapy is a long-distance physiotherapy service using technology, including voice or video calls. In Indonesia, telephysiotherapy is not popular compared to abroad, so researchers want to analyze the factors of physiotherapists on implementation of telephysiotherapy in Indonesia. This research was a correlational analytic descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. The independent variables are the attitude, readiness, knowledge, and motivation of physiotherapists in Indonesia in addition, the dependent variable is the implementation of telephysiotherapy with 117 physiotherapists in Indonesia as subjects. Questionnaire used and tested for validity and reliability. By Chi-Square test, the result found that attitude variable obtained a p-value of 0.034 (p <0.05) and OR value of 2.561, which means that a positive attitude increases the implementation of telephysiotherapy by 2 times, while on the readiness variable the p-value 0.008 (p <0.05) with OR 3.237 which means high readiness increases 3 times the implementation of telephysiotherapy and on the variables of knowledge and motivation shows a p-value of 0.042 (p <0.05) with an OR value of 2.415 which means high knowledge and motivation increase the implementation of telephysiotherapy 2 times greater than low knowledge and motivation. This study found that the majority of physiotherapists in Indonesia have a positive attitude and readiness, knowledge, and high motivation towards the implementation of telephysiotherapy in Indonesia, but more physiotherapists in Indonesia have not implemented telephysiotherapy. On the other hand, there is a relationship between the attitude, readiness, knowledge, and motivation of physiotherapists towards the implementation of telephysiotherapy in Indonesia.

Abstract

Volcanic disasters have a psychological impact on society. Community stress must be anticipated and overcome as soon as possible so as not to cause greater losses. Community empowerment based on the experience of dealing with and dealing with disasters, managing risks, reducing, and recovering from disasters is an adaptive community coping. The purpose was to determine the effect of community stress on the community empowerment process in preventing daily emergencies in the volcanic disaster area. This study used an analytic design through a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 165 people in Hargobinangun Village, Pakem District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, was taken using purposive sampling. The sample criteria were adults who live in the village and can read and write. Community stress and community empowerment were taken using a questionnaire from July until August 2020. Data analysis used T-test. Most communities have low stress for the threat of disaster but have high stress for attachment to the region. Community stress influence on community empowerment process (p-value 0.027). Community stress will affect the degree of reaction and have an impact on the community empowerment process in preventing daily emergencies. Further research is recommended to identify specific factors that cause stress in communities in volcano disaster areas.

Abstract

Hand hygiene is one of the practical steps that healthcare providers can take to reduce the incidence of HAIs or nosocomial infections. The percentage of hand hygiene compliance is still low, between 35-55.3%. Several previous studies showed that many factors cause hand hygiene adherence. However, the results are still varied, so this study aimed to determine the factors of hand hygiene, determine the factors that most influence hand hygiene adherence, and the link between hand hygiene and the incidence of HAIs in hospitals. This systematic literature review follows the PRISMA protocol guidelines in three electronic databases (PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar). Article quality was assessed using the JBI assessment tool and analyzed using meta-synthesis. The inclusion criteria are articles discussing hand hygiene compliance among hospital nurses and articles published in 2021-2023, so 15 selected papers. The determinants of hand hygiene compliance include knowledge, attitude, motivation, supervision from superiors or related parties, facilities, age, gender, years of service, and feedback. An electronic monitoring system also has significantly affected hand hygiene compliance. Several articles stated that the multimodal approach initiated by WHO positively impacted hand hygiene compliance. The most dominant factor is the knowledge variable. Hand hygiene compliance is closely related to the incidence of HAIs, when hand hygiene compliance is high, it can reduce the incidence of HAIs in health services.

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is a widespread zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii). Blood and blood products are possible routes of transmission of T. gondii, especially in patients who have undergone multiple transfusions. The aim of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in female donors using blood serum which is analyzed serologically to detect ImmunoglobulinG (IgG) using the Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) method, as well as the relationship between risk factors for toxoplasmosis, such as keeping cats, receiving blood transfusions, eating undercooked meat and eating raw vegetables. This research is an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional study design. The sample taken is female donor candidates who are willing to participate during the study period, from March to September 2023, and have met the inclusion criteria to become research subjects by explaining the purpose and procedure of the study and the consent letter signed by each research subject before blood samples were taken and filling out the research questionnaire. 177 blood serum samples of female donors were collected from blood donor candidates using consecutive sampling method and a questionnaire to obtain risk factor data that influence the incidence of toxoplasmosis. The results showed that the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in the blood of female donor at Indonesian Red Cross Blood Donor Unit (UDD PMI) Semarang Regency, Central Java Province was 26.6%. In this study the risk factors that influence the incidence of toxoplasmosis are consuming raw vegetables with 5.835 times more risk than women who do not consume raw vegetables, while other factors such as keeping cats, receiving blood transfusions, and eating undercooked meat, have no significant effect. The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in female donors at UDD PMI of Semarang Regency is quite high due to the habit of eating raw vegetables or fresh vegetables with a very high transmission potential.

Abstract

Preclinical medical students have a big role as agents of change to raise awareness of the pandemic caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in family, friends, and society. This study aims to determine the final stage of preclinical medical students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward COVID-19 infection. This study used a cross-sectional method that was conducted on 213 final-stage preclinical medical students in a public university in Depok, Indonesia using an online validated KAP Questionnaire that measures age, gender, domicile, class, and level of KAP toward COVID-19 infection. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21. The p-value <0.05 indicates statistical significance. The result KAP of students toward COVID-19 infection showed a good level of knowledge (73.7%), positive attitude (96.2%), and positive Practice (83.6). %). There was no relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward COVID-19 infection because a p-value of 0.211 (p >0.05) was obtained. Meanwhile, there was a relationship between the level of knowledge and practice toward COVID-19 infection with a p-value = 0.044 (p <0.05). The results revealed that the majority of preclinical medical students had favorable attitudes, had adequate knowledge of COVID-19, and used effective practices to stop the transmission of the disease.
