Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to mutate in Indonesia. The Omicron variant tends to have more cases but research related to this topic is still difficult to find. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for exposure to the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This study used a cross-sectional study design from SARS-CoV-2 surveillance data of the DKI Jakarta Health Office with a research sample of 3,480. Data analysis using Chi-square test followed by logistic regression test. The results found that men had a 1.82 higher risk of contracting the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 than women. Elderly and adults had a 16.99 higher risk and 4.71 higher risk of developing the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant compared to children (p-value <0.05). People with a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular had a 3.06, 3.05, and 4.56 higher risk of being infected with the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 than those without a history of these comorbidities. It was concluded that the variable age is the riskiest factor. Vaccination does not reduce the risk of possible exposure to the Omicron variant, especially for those who are elderly, have a history of concomitant diseases, and are male.

Abstract

Section 6 of the cigarette and other tobacco products act (COTPA) of India, lays down provisions and offences against tobacco sale to minors and near educational institutions. Considering well-documented violations and the significance of its better implementation, this study was planned to assess the knowledge and attitudes and compliance regarding provisions of COTPA section 6 among stakeholders, and identify potential enablers and barriers to implementation of the act. A cross-sectional study was conducted in ten senior secondary schools, two each from 5 zones of Jodhpur district. Principal and staff were interviewed to assess their knowledge and awareness, while a checklist was used to observe the compliance in the vicinity of schools. In-depth interviews were conducted amongst stakeholders to identify enablers and barriers. Only nine (45%) participants were aware about COTPA and six (30%) knew whom to report any violation. 60% schools had international “no smoking” signage and vendors were observed near 50% of the schools. Sale to minors was observed at two such stalls. Observed barriers were related to law and act, implementing personnel and community. Sensitisation of health hazards, intersectoral collaborations with prompt reporting might enhance compliance towards the law.

Abstract

Ramadan fasting is a religious practice observed by millions of Muslims worldwide. Firstly, the experimental studies were searched on different websites like PubMed, Science direct, and google scholar to find out the latest research regarding Ramadan fasting. Studies have shown that Ramadan fasting influences body weight, blood glucose, insulin, lipid levels, and blood pressure. However, the effects of fasting on mental health and specific health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer or metabolic disorders vary depending on individual factors. Because, fasting duration, the presence of chronic diseases, and obesity are all factors that can alter the outcomes. Until now, Multiple studies on Ramadan fasting's impact on health have been conducted but certain limitations make the results inconclusive. We hope to gain a better understanding of the potential benefits and risks associated with this religious practice. Ultimately, this knowledge can be used to inform healthcare professionals and individuals who are participating in Ramadan fasting. Further research is necessary to explore underlying mechanisms and optimize fasting protocols for chronic disease patients. Overall, this review emphasizes the need for further research on the effects of Ramadan fasting on human health and its potential as a tool for improving health outcomes in diverse populations.

Abstract

Prehospital care is an emergency medical service (EMS) administered outside of the hospital. Time-consuming documentation of medical records is one of the tasks that prehospital nurses have to complete. It requires the development of innovations to improve prehospital care. To enhance prehospital treatment, innovations must be created. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether the emergency and disaster electronic handling system application (SPEED) decreases the time nurses spend recording patient records. A total of 54 samples will be randomly separated into two groups as part of the study's true experimental design with crossed over method. Each of the three study sessions lasts for three weeks to finish. Group B received the first period of the paper-based intervention, whereas group A received the SPEED intervention. Group B will get the SPEED intervention following the washout period (second period), whereas group A will receive a paper-based intervention (third period). The independent t-test showed that the SPEED application was more efficient than paper-based using a mean difference value of 25.22 and a sig (2-tailed) value of 0.00. The SPEED application can make nurses' jobs easier and lighten their prehospital nurses' mental, physical, and time demands.

Abstract

People with underlying disease (diabetes mellitus, and hypertension) could be stressed during COVID-19 pandemic. This study was investigated stress levels and quality of life among diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension patients, and factors related to quality of life in Khon Kaen during COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted 270 samples. Multilevel logistic regression was performed to identify the influence of stress level and quality of life (QoL). The results showed that most of the samples had a moderate level of stress (78.5%), and a high level of stress (3.3%). For overall QoL, it was found that most of them had moderate level (77.8%), and poor level (7.8%). The likelihood of poor QOL was 5.5 times (adj. OR=5.5; 95% CI: 1.6 to 18.1) of income decreasing due to economic downturn, no impact to moderate impact and not COVID-19 immunized had 3.4 times the likelihood of poor QOL (adj. OR=3.4; 95% CI:1.2 to 9.2) with statistical significance at 0.05 level. It could be concluded that nearly 2.5–3 times, samples had a poor to moderate quality of life, due to stress and economic issues that affected people's quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

A healthy canteen is one of the supporting elements of healthy campus infrastructure. Leaders' policies, engagement, and support are essential for healthy campus initiation advocacy initiatives. This qualitative case study approach aims to determine the possibility of implementing a healthy canteen in a private university. The study was conducted in Yogyakarta from July 2017 until March 2018 with informants sequentially from five university leaders, one canteen manager, ten canteen consumers, and including 15 food handlers. We collected data through in-depth interviews and then analyzed it with content analysis. Finally, we use the SWOT matrix to investigate the possibility of developing a healthy canteen at private colleges using strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The obstacle to developing healthy canteens is the limited area for infrastructure. We found environmental health problems, such as unqualified sanitary conditions and unapplied food hygiene and sanitation principles. Healthy canteen could be developed if the leaders at all levels committed to allocating spaces and sanitation infrastructure, making policies and regulations for testing the food in laboratories, training and inspecting food handlers regularly and providing quality foodstuffs, clean and healthy nutritious food, and educating customers with posters on the canteen walls.

Abstract

Young people are vulnerable to reproductive health (RH) problems due to their engagement in risky sexual behavior. Study of adolescents’ RH education effects on the behavior of the young will add evidence about aspects that directly/indirectly affect the behavior. This study intended to explore the influence of adolescents’ RH education and other associated factors on college students’ sexual behavior using path analysis. A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to Mei 2021 in Solo Raya Residency, Central Java, Indonesia. A sample of 20-24 years old college students from public dan two private universities (n=375) participated. An online questionnaire was used to collect the data. Path analysis was conducted to identify relationships between variables. Path analysis demonstrated that sexual behavior was directly affected by age and pornography access, regardless the gender. Even though factors that influenced sexual behavior differed among female and male students, RH education was proved to indirectly influence sexual behavior irrespective the gender. Overall, sexual behavior was influenced by RH education in the complex mechanism. Improving the information delivery of RH education is needed to ensure all youth, irrespective of gender, benefit from this program. Further study in a more significant setting in Indonesia is required.

Abstract

Inappropriate use of antibiotics alongside improper waste/wastewater disposal can contribute to the emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance. This research aimed to assess the knowledge, practices, and patterns of antibiotic usage among animal farmers in Calabar Metropolis. Employing a descriptive cross-sectional approach, a structured questionnaire was utilized to elicit information from 137 animal farmers. Data were analysed using SPSS version 25, with Chi-square statistics being employed to ascertain associations between different variables. The findings indicated a high level of knowledge regarding antibiotic use and the repercussions following its misuse on the environment, with 74.5% exhibiting high levels of knowledge. Majority (92.7%) of the respondents used antibiotics for various purposes in the farm. About 55% of respondents who used antibiotics had training on antibiotics use. Majority (79.6%) of the respondents had poor waste/wastewater disposal practices. Associations were found between farmers’ knowledge level on antibiotic resistance and level of antibiotics use (p=0.031). Moderate antibiotic use was more among farmers with high knowledge level. An association was also found between farmers’ training on antibiotics use and farmers’ level of antibiotics use (p=0.043). Mandatory and targeted training for animal production farmers on proper and judicious antibiotic use is expedient to safeguard public health.

Abstract

Venipuncture procedures undeniably increase anxiety behavior and pain while children are in the emergency department. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) on anxiety behavior and pain with the Dorothy-behavior theory during the venipuncture procedures procedure in the emergency department. The research used a quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest design with a control group design with 42 respondents in the yellow zone of the emergency department of RSPUN Cipto Mangunkusumo. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test, Mann-Whitney, and ordinal regression. There were significant differences and comparisons between anxiety behavior (p-value <0.001) and pain (p-value <0.001) when the venipuncture procedure was performed in the experimental group. School-age children (p-value 0.026; OR=4.958) affect pain. This study recommends that nurses in emergency departments provide VR during venipuncture procedures to address anxiety and pain behaviors. In addition, Dorothy's behavioral theory in the vein puncture procedure has become an innovation in nursing care. Provide aspects of protection based on the age, gender, and experience of the child; maintenance aspects by looking at VR effects; and aspects of stimulation as reference materials or recommendations for further research on VR to overcome anxiety and painful behavior in children during venipuncture procedures.

Abstract

Obesity is a widespread health concern, prevalent in both developed and developing countries. Among school-age children, obesity can lead to health problems and increase the risk of disability in adulthood. A sedentary lifestyle is a significant contributor to poor health and fitness, and consequently, it may elevate the risk of obesity. To address this issue, rhythmic gymnastics has emerged as a potential method for managing weight and reducing body mass index. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of rhythmic gymnastics intervention in reducing body mass index among school-age children with low physical activity levels. The intervention was carried out three times a week, and results after four weeks revealed that managed patients lost 1.7 kg of weight with a decrease in body mass index (BMI) of 0.60 SD, while resumed patients lost 2 kg with a decrease in BMI of 0.59. These findings indicate that rhythmic gymnastics intervention can be effective in reducing body mass index in school-age children.
