Abstract

Stunting is a height that is not appropriate with the age, it is characterized by delayed growth of the child who results in failure to reach normal height. The high prevalence of stunting in the world, 14-17% of child mortality is caused by stunting. Pandeglang Regency, Indonesia is an area with the highest prevalence of stunting in Banten Province and the prevalence is 39.5%. The purpose of this study was to analyze the maternal risk factors that the most influence prevalence of stunting in children with aged 24-59 months in Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province, Indonesia. This research is an analytic observational study with a case control study design and using 200 respondents. The case group were mothers who had stunted children and the control group were mothers who had children with normal stature. Data obtained from filling out the mother's questionnaire include maternal and child health books. The results of multivariable analysis with multiple logistic regression found that close birth spacing ORadj (95% CI): 9.61 (1.16-79.56), nutritional status of pregnant women (KEK) ORadj: 4.37 (1.79-10.64), short mother's height was ORadj L: 2.38 (1.21-4.67) and preterm gestational age was ORadj: 1.98 (1.06-3.72) and Fe minimum consumption ORadj: 1.75 (0.94-3.26). Birth spacing are the most influential maternal risk factors for the prevalence of stunting in children aged 24-59 months. Long-term contraceptive methods such as IUDs and implants need to be held to increase long-term family planning acceptors so they can be more optimal in spacing pregnancies at least two years.

Abstract

Pesticides are essential substances that is economical, labor saving and efficient tool among the farmers with significant importance in increasing food production and pest management in developing countries. Although, the serious concern about the health risk of pesticide toxicity should be investigated. The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge & perception of health risks of pesticide usage among farmers. This online-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among farmers in Namakkal district, Tamil Nadu. A validated questionnaire was prepared in two languages for convenience, assessing the sociodemographic and analyzing the level of awareness, perception of pesticide usage among farmers. About 412 farmers participated, in which 98.5% use pesticides and 64.5% were males. Among them, 72.4% of farmers do not use personal protective equipment (PPE) while applying pesticides, 75.5% dispose and 24.5% of farmers re-use the empty pesticide bottle. Also, 68 % are not aware of the harmful effects of pesticides even though 94.5% experienced health related problems while using them. Therefore, 95.4% of farmers think it is necessary to create awareness about safe handling practice and health risks regarding the usage of pesticides. Our study reveals that farmers do not have adequate knowledge about safe pesticide handling and are not aware of pesticide toxicity levels along with the risk associated with the degree of toxicity which is essential for implementing strategies regarding pesticide safety education and training.

Abstract

Decision-making power of women is one of the essential factors which influence maternal health service utilization. Women's lack of decision over reproductive health service utilization affects their protection from unwanted childbearing, unsafe sex, and their consequences. To assess decision-making power on Reproductive Health service utilization and its associated factors among married women in South West Ethiopia, 2020. Cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2020 among 584 married women of the reproductive age. A total of 288 in urban and 288 in rural married women were interviewed and these yields a response rate of 98.6% both in urban and rural. Decision-making power over reproductive health service utilization in urban and rural was 55.2% [95% CI (52.7-64.6)] and 40.3% [95% CI (39.9-52.5)] respectively. In urban, being wives of government-employed spouses [AOR 2.102 95% CI (1.16, 3.81)], knowledge on RH [AOR 3.33, 95% CI (1.20, 12.49)], above five years in marriage [AOR 1.91, 95% CI (1.19,7.70)], were found to be predictors of women’s decision-making power over reproductive health use. The study revealed that in urban settings those women who had marriage duration five and more than five years, being wives of government-employed spouses had more likely decision-making power on reproductive health utilization but not in rural settings. Hence, reproductive health interventions in the area should be promoted by considering empowering married women on reproductive health service utilization.

Abstract

Adolescence is a period of searching for identity that requires information on reproductive health and sexuality so as not to fall into premarital sexual behavior. Parents play an important role in providing reproductive health information to adolescents, but parents are often reluctant to provide this information due to lack of support, and lack of confidence in providing reproductive health information. The purpose of this study was to determine the most influential factors between partner support, perceived barriers, and self-confidence in adolescent reproductive health education. The research method used analytical observation with a cross sectional approach which was conducted online in June-August 2020 to 300 parents who have teenagers aged 15-19 years in Surakarta. The sampling technique is Double Sampling using a self-confidence, partner support, perceived barriers and behavior in providing reproductive health information questionnaire that has been tested for validity. Bivariate analysis was performed using chi square and multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression test. The results showed that parents' self-confidence was the most influential factor in reproductive health education for adolescents (OR=3.052, CI=1.534-6.071). Parents who have low self-confidence tend not to provide comprehensive reproductive health information to adolescents. Lack of skills to explain the topic of sexuality to teenagers is one of the things that affects parents' self-confidence. The lack of knowledge of the material that will be given and the shame when conveying sexuality material also affects the self-confidence of the parents. Training efforts are needed for parents on how to provide information on reproductive health to adolescents.

Abstract

The Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC) strategy was designed to provide evidence-based interventions at the primary level to control maternal and newborn mortality. With less than a decade until the conclusion of the Sustainable Development Goals, much work remains to be done in the Philippines to achieve the set target on maternal mortality. Recognition of the determinants affecting its implementation may elucidate what still needs to be addressed. This study aims to identify the facilitators and barriers to accessibility of quality BEmONC services. Eight focus group discussions consisting of BEmONC providers were conducted from February to April 2021. These were recorded, transcribed, then translated into English. Data then underwent thematic analysis using NVivo to identify emerging themes and subthemes. 102 health care providers participated in the study. Four main themes emerged: institutional capacity, service capacity, personnel capacity, and external factors. Each had its corresponding subthemes, such as infrastructure, human resources, referrals, and local government support, respectively. Factors and/or barriers to each subtheme were identified during the discussions. The study provided important insight on the factors influencing BEmONC utilization. Focal points recognized may be used by policy makers and key stakeholders to allow optimal provision of BEmONC services.

Abstract

The global COVID-19 pandemic has raised the risk of malnutrition in children, particularly those under the age of five, including stunting. Stunting is common in low-income regions, when families cannot afford nutritious meals. Certain types of food may not be available or cheap for some families during the COVID-19 epidemic. Stunting may become more common as a result of changes in family socioeconomic circumstances, personal cleanliness, and environmental sanitation during the pandemic. This study is to determine the effect of socioeconomic factors and hygiene sanitation during COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of stunting in coastal areas. This type of research was analytical survey with cross sectional approach. The total sample was 3886 families who had children had toddlers aged 0-59 months in the coastal areas in Surabaya City, Indonesia. The instrument in this study was filling out a questionnaire using Google Form on socioeconomic and hygiene sanitation factors to determine the incidence of stunting. Socioeconomic determinant which impacted stunting was family income. While whole hygiene and sanitation determinants have significant impact to stunting by chi square test (pvalue=0,002). Highest odds ratio from logistic regression was 15,4 higher between other socioeconomic determinants. Whereas the hygiene and sanitation factor which has the highest impact was hand-washing habit with odds ratio 75,3. Hand-washing habit has significance impact which was proved by chi square test (pvalue=0,000). Low family income, hand-washing habits, clean water sources, sewer access, waste management, and healthy latrine have significant impact to malnutrition, especially stunting.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an acute febrile disease caused by four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV) and transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This article aims to analyze monthly trends in cases and climates as well as spatial analysis and autocorrelation in 52 urban villages of Banjarmasin City. Laboratory-confirmed dengue cases from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed for trends in malaria cases. Decomposition analysis was performed to assess seasonality. The annual spatial grouping of incidents, identified by Moran's I. The Result shows the annual dengue incidence fell significantly to 72% in 2017 and lasted until 2020. Dengue infection is more common in men with an age range of 15-64 years. The monthly dengue season is highest from January to May along with increased rainfall. The high incidence is spatially clustered which is identified in the east and borders neighboring districts, especially 6 urban villages. A trend and spatially explicit decision support system are needed to support surveillance and control programs in identified high-risk areas to succeed in dengue eradication goals.

Abstract

Background: With changing demography, developing countries will be outnumbered by the elderly and their associated chronic diseases. The geriatric population is at increased risk of malnutrition with multifactorial factors, especially Depression. The current study aims to explore potential linkages between malnutrition and depression in the geriatric population.Method: A cross-sectional study was planned at Tertiary healthcare facilities at Jodhpur, Western Rajasthan, India from April to June 2018. After consent from 310 elderly patients attending OPD, a pre-tested questionnaire was directed to record socio-demographic data. Assessment of Malnutrition status using Mini Nutritional Assessment, Depression using Geriatric Depression Scale, Physical frailty using Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living was done. Chi-square, Fischer test, and Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare nominal data as counts and percentage. The mean and standard deviation were used to characterize continuous data. Multiple logistic regression was used to compute the corrected ODDs ratio. Significant was defined as a p-value of less than 0.05.Results: Out of 310 elderly, 192 (61.9%) participants on the MNA scale were categorized as having poor nutrition and 99 (31.9%) were suffering from depression. The elderly at risk of malnutrition among depressed was 75.8 % (n=99) with preponderance for females, and minor disabilities. Multivariate analysis suggested an association of lower socioeconomic status and rural residence in the elderly.Conclusion: Nutritional deficit and depression are interrelated. Depression and malnutrition are linked in a destructive cycle but the causality remains elusive. This synergy could be detrimental to survival.Keywords: Malnutrition, Depression, Aged, Geriatric, Elderly, Frailty, Nutrition Disorders, Chronic disease, Tertiary healthcare, India.
