The elderly experience various physical and physiological changes in the bodysystem, including susceptibility to drug side effects, decreased knowledge and memory,resulting in non-compliance with taking the medication. This study aims to determine therelationship between ATDs side effects and compliance with taking medication for elderlypatients at the Tanjung Selor Health Center, Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan Province.This study used a quantitative cross-sectional approach. The sample was taken by totalpopulation, namely elderly tuberculosis patients undergoing tuberculosis treatment as many as30 respondents. The research instrument was a questionnaire of drug side effects and ATDscompliance. Statistical test used Fisher's Exact. The results showed that most patients (76.7%)complained of OAT side effects and the rest without OAT side effects (23.3%). Treatmentcompliance was 20% compliant, and 80% were non-compliant. Fisher's Exact statistical testobtained p-value = 0.016 (< α = 0.05). It was concluded that there was a significant relationship between OAT side effects and treatment compliance in elderly patients with tuberculosis. Recommendations for health workers to give special attention to elderly patients with medication monitoring and compliance motivation.

Abstract

According to WHO, the level of fluorine in water that is safe for consumption is 0.7-1.5 ppm. The Indonesian population's prevalence of problems with teeth and mouth is 25.9%. The average Indonesian population has experienced tooth decay as much as 5 teeth per person. Central Sulawesi is a province with the largest dental health problems, namely 75.3% and only 8.2% has received services from dental medical personnel. This study aimed to know the fluorine level of drinking water and the proportion of dental caries in Tondo Village, Mantikulore District, Palu City, Central Sulawesi.

Sampling was done by means of non-random sampling, namely by purposive sampling. The results showed that of the 20 respondents, most of the respondents had very low water fluorine levels (95%). The smallest fluorine level was 0.00 mg / l, the highest was 0.40 mg / l, with a median of 0.20 mg / l. or if categorized most (94.7%) had very low fluorine levels, and all respondents experienced dental caries (100%).

Furthermore, there was a relationship between compliance with the use of PPE among workers with knowledge (p=0.016) and attitude (p=0.006). The result of multivariate analysis test showed that knowledge (p=0.035) and attitude (p=0.013) significantly affected compliance with the use of PPE. In addition, it was found that there was a relationship between knowledge and attitudes with compliance with the use of PPE.

Abstract

Babies with low birth weight have slower growth and development compared to babies with normal birth weight as they experience digestive disorders resulting in poor nutritional intake. If this condition lasts longer without inadequate nutrition, children can be infected and experience stunting. This research aims to examine the association's evidentiary basis between low birth weight and stunting. Inclusion criteria: Indonesian or English articles published in the last 5 years; original articles focused on low birth weight on stunting incidence.  This study used PRISMA-ScR Checklist with 5 stages referring to Arksey and O'Malley. The article search used 4 databases: PubMed, DOAJ, Wiley Online Library, and EBSCO. The result is a total of 16 out of 2704 articles obtained were relevant and met the inclusion criteria. This review generated two themes: the factors and impact of low birth weight.  It can be concluded that babies with low birth weight significantly correlate with stunting incidence.
