Abstract

Physical activity is an essential component for health, low physical activity in Indonesia causes a high death rate, with 70% of all deaths among adults (including due to heart and lung disease). Therefore, efforts are needed to increase healthy lifestyles, especially physical activity, by providing health information through the media. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of counseling with social media, animation and short films as health promotion media to increase perceptions and motivation to do physical activity in adolescents. The design of this study is Quasi Experiment with a total sample of 180 people taken by total sampling. The data collection technique uses a physical activity questionnaire. Data analysis using the Anova test. The results of the analysis obtained that counseling with short films was more effective in increasing perceptions and motivation to carry out physical activities in adolescents at SMAN 3 Muaro Jambi indicated by a significance value at 0.000 (p <0.05) compared to social media and animation. There was a more significant increase in perception and motivation to do physical activity after counseling with short films compared to counseling using social media and animation for teenagers at SMAN 3 Muaro Jambi. Suggestions for further research are to examine the factors that influence perceptions and motivation for physical activity in adolescents.

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

Vitamin D is a group of secosteroids that have fat-soluble properties. Vitamin D regulates calcium absorption, bone growth and remodeling, and regulates metabolic processes and immunity. Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are essential fatty acids for humans. Omega-3 fatty acids have various positive effects on health, especially cardiovascular-related ones. This study aims to determine the effect of omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin D combination on the TG/HDL-C ratio in high fat fed Rattus norvegicus. The research design is experimental study with a post-test-only control group design. This study used 24 male rats aged 3–4 months with a body weight of 250–300 grams which were divided into four groups; negative control group, positive control group; treatment group one; and treatment group two. The high-fat diet (HFD) is an additional (emulsion) feed added to standard feed with increased fat composition. The results showed that increased triglyceride (TG) levels of 83.40 mg/dL and HDL levels of 62.60 mg/dL after consumed high-fat diet. There was a significant decrease in TG levels of 54.15 mg/dL (p=0.026) and a decrease in HDL of 53.00 mg/dL (p>0.05, α=0,05) after administration of Omega-3 and Vitamin D combination. Conclusions in this study is the intake Omega-3 and Vitamin D combination has a positive effect on TG levels. Still, this positive effect must be accompanied by limiting the fat intake to the body. Meanwhile, combining Omega-3 and Vitamin D did not significantly affect HDL levels.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an innovative space for technology to become a solution, which, if implemented effectively, can help reduce the negative impact of the pandemic on society. For example, contact tracing, which if done manually, requires more resources and takes a lot of time, even though the spread of COVID-19 is happening very quickly, so a faster task force response is also needed. This research aims to determine public perceptions of confidentiality issues that may arise from implementing COVID-19 contact tracing, as well as public attitudes towards implementing COVID-19 contact tracing. This research will use a quantitative study method using a cross-sectional method. The researchers used a phenomenological theoretical approach to find out how people view contact tracing. The results of this research show that the majority of people in Bandung City who were respondents to this research have a positive attitude towards contact tracing and support the implementation of contact tracing. Most of the people in Bandung City who were respondents to this research had a good perception of contact tracing and felt that their privacy would not be disturbed by contact tracing. So the government needs to ensure that the public can easily access the contact tracing method used. Health officials need to explain contact tracing in a way that is easy for the public to understand so that the public understands the purpose of implementing contact tracing. And the public should also seek the latest information about health and obey the recommendations of the government and health officials.

Abstract

This study presents a comparative analysis of the physical fitness levels of elementary school students aged 10-12 in the Tempe and Sajoanging Districts of Wajo Regency. Utilizing a descriptive research approach, the research employed the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI) instrument from the Ministry of National Education for data collection. The sample comprised 120 students selected through cluster sampling techniques. The data analysis involved t-test analysis, preceded by normality and homogeneity tests. The results indicated that the majority of students at SDN Kec. In Tempe exhibited physical fitness levels in the moderate and poor categories, with percentages of 6.6%, 75.0%, and 18.4%, respectively, for moderate, poor, and very poor categories. Conversely, at SDN Kec. In Sajoanging, the majority fell into the moderate (15.0%), poor (80.0%), and very poor (5.0%) categories. Overall, the general physical fitness level of students in both sub-districts was deemed poor. Comparing these findings with prior research by Ashadi Faqih and Sasminta Christina Yuli Hartati (2017), which focused on South Gugus Elementary School in Tuban Regency, it is evident that the physical fitness levels of students in Tempe and Sajoanging Districts are notably lower. Furthermore, the statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in the physical fitness levels between the two districts. Notably, students at SDN Sajoanging District demonstrated better physical fitness levels than their counterparts at SDN Tempe District. Specifically, a higher percentage of students in Sajoanging District fell into the poor category, while Tempe District had a greater proportion in the very poor category. In conclusion, the research underscores the importance of addressing the poor physical fitness levels among elementary school students in Tempe and Sajoanging Districts. The findings provide valuable insights for educational policymakers and practitioners to develop targeted interventions aimed at improving the overall health and well-being of students in the region.

Abstract

Hepatitis transmission is still a global public health issue, including in Indonesia. Low personal hygiene and environmental sanitation are the contributing factors to hepatitis A. This study aimed to analyze the impact of hand-washing habits, cutlery exchange, food and snack hygiene, and latrine use on the incidence of Hepatitis A. The study used meta-analysis with the PICOS technique. The data from Google Scholar, Mendeley, and Research Gate by looking at keywords such as “risk factors” and “hepatitis A”, which were then sorted according to the inclusion-exclusion criteria and obtained 16 full-text case-control articles. Data analysis used a fixed effect model through JASP software version 0.9.2. The meta-analysis found that hand-washing behavior had a risk of 1.131; food and snack hygiene had a risk of 6.233; the habit of exchanging cutlery had a risk of 10.17; and latrine utilization had the highest risk of 12.935 for the incidence of hepatitis A. The study found that the use of latrines is the most significant factor in the occurrence of hepatitis A due to open defecation. Furthermore, exchanging cutleries is rated as the second factor triggering hepatitis A transmission, followed by the consumption of snacks or other foods. The study also found that hand-washing behavior has the lowest risk of hepatitis A incidence. The study concludes that hand-washing behavior, latrine utilization, food and snack hygiene, and exchanges of cutlery increase the risk of hepatitis A at different levels. It is suggested that behavioral factors such as hand washing, the use of closed latrines, and the consumption of healthy snacks or foods are essential measures to educate the community about hepatitis A and reduce its transmission within the population.
