Abstract

Adolescence is a time of tremendous opportunity. However, inadequate menstrual hygiene habits are related to lower academic achievement and enrollment at school, with possible effects on longer-term socio-economic status and impaired overall quality of life. Therefore, this cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 adolescent schoolgirls in Bangladesh between July 2019 and February 2020 with the aim of examining menstrual hygiene practices. Data indicate that the mean age of menarche in 422 adolescents was 12.71±0.97. According to the data, 47% had well, and 53% had poor hygiene practices. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, educational status of respondents’ mother at secondary level [AOR = 2.023, 95% CI: 1.159-3.532], fathers at graduate and above level [ AOR = 3.150, 95% CI: 0.883-11.238], high level of household income [AOR = 2.580, 95% CI: 1.480-4.495], and knowledge about complication of poor hygiene practice among girls [AOR = 2.286, 95% CI: 1.160-4.504] were significantly associated with the level of hygiene practices. Poor menstrual hygiene practice was found among more than half of girls. Attitude toward safe menstrual materials should initiate to improve good hygiene practices. Awareness campaigns for parents and teachers to assist their children would be a vital strategy to ensure good hygiene practices.

Abstract

Few studies have examined the mental health of people in a leadership positions. Most of the time, mental health-related policies were created for the non-leaders to cope with the perceived pressure from their leaders. Nevertheless, the mental health of organizational leaders itself might be at stake due to the leadership ‘acts’ they have to perform. This current study aims to investigate the moderating effect of social support and self-compassion on the relationship between organizational leaders’ emotional labor and their psychological well-being. A hundred and twentyone mid-level working executives in leadership positions provided data on their emotional labor, social support, self-compassion, and psychological well-being. It was predicted that social support and self-compassion will both moderate the relationship between organizational leaders’ emotional labor and their psychological well-being. The results indicated that surface acting is correlated with psychological wellbeing while deep acting is not. Social support and self-compassion do not moderate the relationship between emotional labor and psychological wellbeing. However, age is significantly correlated with psychological wellbeing, social support, and self-compassion, indicating its importance in leaders. Implications and limitations are discussed

Abstract

With the Philippines’ experience on vaccine hesitancy, the study aimed to determine the acceptability of COVID-19 vaccination in the country and understand its attributes using the Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) Theory.  The cross-sectional study included 327 respondents recruited for four weeks through various social media platforms. Participants were requested to answer a self-administered online questionnaire. Majority of the respondents belong to age group 21-30 (46.2%), mostly female (65.4%), relatively healthy (86.2%), college graduate (37.6%), and currently unemployed (50.8%). While the majority have the intention to get vaccinated against COVID-19 (70.0%), only 16.8% are innovators belonging to the age group 21-30 (p value = 0.03), male (p value <0.001), and employed (p value= 0.01). Relative advantage (p value <0.001), compatibility (p value <0.001), observability (p value <0.001), and perceived risk (p value <0.001) are significantly associated with the intention for COVID-19 vaccination and adopter category. Findings prove that the attributes of DoI are predictors for the acceptability and timing of COVID-19 vaccination. Strategies that promote trust, information transparency, and better information dissemination on the benefits and safety of vaccination can motivate more Filipinos to adopt the innovation.

Abstract

Obesity during pregnancy puts the mothers at risk of significant medical conditions and is also associated with some medical problems in neonates. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and outcomes of babies born to obese mothers at a tertiary hospital in Banjarmasin, Ulin General Hospital. This study was observational using secondary data of neonates born at Ulin General Hospital Banjarmasin, January 2020 - October 2021. The total number of subjects included in this study was 110, divided into two groups based on the obesity status of the mother (obese and non-obese). Common maternal characteristics of the obese mothers were having higher education (43.6%), being a housewife (67.3%), being diagnosed with severe preeclampsia (58.2%), and having infection risk (54.5%). Of the babies, 100% were delivered by C-section, 21.8% were premature, 12.7% had excessive birth weight, and 54.5% were requiring treatment before being discharged. For the outcomes, the average length of stay was 4.5±3.6 days (p<0.05) and the need for NICU admission was 20% (p>0.05). The most compelling characteristics and outcomes of babies born to obese mothers in this study were delivered by C-section, had excessive birth weight, unwell babies, and had a longer hospital stay.

Abstract

The prevalence of mental health problems among antenatal women has escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. Physical activity palys role to reduce depression and anxiety, which required to be studied further. This study aimed to assess the association between physical activity with depression and anxiety among antenatal women during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study applied convenience sampling to recruit 544 antenatal women from March to June 2021. Questionnaires including the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS), state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), and pregnancy physical activity questionnaire (PPAQ) were distributed via social media to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and physical activity level. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, mann-whitney, and kruskal wallis tests. Out of 544 antenatal women, 24.1% of them had depressive symptoms and 82.4% had anxiety. Only 12.1% of the women were sufficiently active during the pandemic. There was no association between physical activity, depression, and anxiety. The high prevalence of depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic among Malaysian antenatal women underscores the urgent need for addressing this public health burden. Interventions to alleviate the symptoms should include strategies beyond physical activity, for example, a mobile application or telephone-delivered social support that is made easily accessible throughout the pandemic.

Abstract

With the surge of COVID-19 pandemic, orthodontists have recommended the use of mouthwashes. However, this product often includes substances that change the pH of the oral environment and potentially alter orthodontic elastic force. This study aimed to investigate the effect of several mouthwashes on the force decay of latex elastics. A total of 100 orthodontic latex elastics (1/4”) were separated into five groups: control, zinc sulfate 0.2%, chlorhexidine 0.2%, sodium fluoride 0.2%, and povidone–iodine 1%. The samples were all stretched to 19.05 mm, stored in artificial saliva solutions, and housed in an incubator. Every 12 hours, the specimens from groups 2–5 were immersed in the test mouthwashes for 60 seconds and immediately returned to the artificial saliva. A tension gauge with five times that of the activation was used to measure force. Elastic force was tested at five-time intervals: baseline, 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours. Statistical analysis was conducted using two-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test. Results showed statistical differences for the time intervals and force degradation of orthodontic latex elastics (P<0.05). The majority of force loss occurred within 6 hours of extension and immersion. Mouthwashes had no influence on the reduction in elastic force (P>0.05). The force degradation of orthodontic latex elastics was unaffected by mouthwashes. The lowest force degradation was generated by povidone–iodine, followed by zinc sulfate, sodium fluoride, and chlorhexidine.

Abstract

 ABSTRACT Lead toxicity poses a serious threat facing humanity. This research aims to investigate the potential hepatoprotective effect of Physalis Peruviana (P.P.) fruit against lead toxicity (10ppm (1/45 LD50)) in male albino rats. Toxicological induction lasted for 28 days followed by treatment with 200, 300, and 500 mg/kg of lyophilized P.P. fruit extract for another 28 days. Antioxidant enzymes including; SOD, MDA, CAT, and GSH using a spectrophotometer and lead concentration in liver tissues were assessed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy after 4 and 8 weeks, in addition to liver function ALT and AST, and CBC.  Lead acetate induced substantial elevation in MDA levels, and a significant decrease in SOD, CAT, and GSH activities. Treatment with 200, 300, and 500 mg/kg P.P extracts showed an improvement in the activity of the antioxidant enzymes in a dose-dependent manner. Co-administration of P.P fruit extract ameliorates the damage caused by lead acetate. Physalis Peruviana solution showed a reduction in the mean lead concentration in a dose-dependent response to 0.26±0.02, 0.21±0.02, and 0.14±0.03 ppm for groups III, IV, and V, respectively. In conclusion, P.P fruit extract can induce antioxidant activity and exert a beneficial effect for the treatment of Pb-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract

To tackle the COVID-19 case, the COVID-19 task force in Indonesia urges the public to carry out COVID-19 prevention behaviours including wearing masks. To find the determinants factors that affect public compliance with using masks, an online survey was conducted in Indonesia from 27 June to 7 July 2020. The analytical technique used in this study consisted of descriptive and inferential analysis. Of the 8,425 respondents, the majority (67.1%) had moderate mask compliance. Age, gender, education, income and risk of infection have a significant relationship with mask compliance. Female respondents have higher compliance of wearing masks than men. Most respondents with high compliance in wearing masks are highly educated and have high incomes. The Boomer (elderly) group has the highest percentage who has low adherence to wearing masks. Respondents who stated they might be at risk of contracting COVID-19 had a high compliance score for wearing masks compared to respondents who stated they were unlikely to be infected. Socio-demographic factors significantly influence compliance with the use of masks during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. To improve compliance with the implementation of health protocols, the government needs to provide socialization, supervision, and evaluation to implement health protocols in the community.

Abstract

The level of cigarette excise rates is one of the factors of cigarette costs. However, it is unclear how high the cigarette excise rate should be in order to reduce smoking in Indonesia. The aim of this research was to see how effective the cigarette excise tariff policy was at lowering public cigarette usage. The study conducted a quantitative approach, employing survey data collection techniques on a number of smokers as well as in-depth interviews. The data indicated that a 12.5% increase in the cigarette excise charge had a negligible effect on reducing cigarette consumption. The author identified numerous variables that contributed to the tobacco excise tax increase's ineffectiveness as a policy.
