Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent health issue that has consistently risen in occurrence among the elderly in Thailand. This issue holds significant importance within Thailand's healthcare system. This research was allocated to the quasi-experimental study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of leg self-exercises for reducing knee pain severity among the elderly. The total sample size was 108 elderly people recruited into the study with an Oxford Knee Score (OKS) between 20 and 48. The participants were divided into two groups: the intervention group received leg self-exercise with a plank for six weeks, and the control group: received health education booklets. All parameters were compared between and within each group using the independent t-test and paired sample t-test in data analysis. At the three-month follow-up, the results revealed that the OKS and self-exercise behavior in the intervention group had considerably increased more than those in the control group (p<0.001). Compared with the baseline and three-month follow-up, the within comparison, the OKS, and self-exercise behavior were significantly improved (p<0.001). The leg self-exercise with the plank program can lessen the degree of knee discomfort in the elderly and be used to impose and produce recommendations for supporting healthy policies.

Abstract

Working mothers burdened with work and household responsibilities face challenges with work-life balance, which could be empowered through supervisor support in the workplace. Therefore, it is vital to identify the impact of supervisor support on working mothers’ work-life balance. However, available instruments to measure both constructs for the Malay-speaking Malaysian population are dearth. This study assessed the psychometric properties of the Malay version of the supervisor support scale (SS-Malay) and work-life balance checklist (WLB-Malay) and investigated the relationship between these variables among Malaysian working mothers. Using purposive sampling, 200 working mothers (M=38.80, SD=8.43) for the pilot study and 275 working mothers (M=38.33, SD=7.86) for the actual study completed either an online or printed survey consisting of demographic information, the supervisor support scale, and the work-life balance checklist. Exploratory factor analysis conducted on the pilot study data reported a two-factor structure for WLB-Malay and one factor for SS-Malay. Similarly, confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the unidimensional factor of SS-Malay, and two factors of WLB-Malay: concerned about work, and self. Reliability was established with alpha, omega, and composite reliability values of more than .70. Discriminant validity was established with correlation values of less than .90, and concurrent validity was established with significant moderation positive association between constructs. Structural equation modelling reported a satisfactory model fit for both scales and identified a positive impact of supervisor support on work-life balance among Malaysian working mothers. Accordingly, both WLB-Malay and SS-Malay are culturally fit for Malaysian working mothers.

Abstract

The study revealed that safety behaviour played a significant role in traffic accidents. One of the primary concerns pertains to the implementation of driving safety practices and the associated risks they pose on the roadways. Numerous studies have been conducted in various countries to investigate the negative consequences of safety behaviour on both victims and nations. These studies have employed the motorcycle rider behaviour questionnaire (MRBQ), a widely utilized instrument to evaluate and mitigate the prevalence of hazardous behavior in road driving scenarios. Nevertheless, the validity of this method has not been established in the Indonesian setting. The present study aimed to assess the reliability and construct validity of the Indonesian adaptation of the MRBQ. The study recruited a cohort of 37 students representing a diverse range of academic disciplines from 12 distinct universities. The study's findings revealed that the validity values obtained varied between a minimum of <0.001 and a maximum of 0.987. Additionally, the reliability of the 27 items was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which yielded a value of 0.742. The present study confirms the reliability of the Indonesian version of the MRBQ, as well as the acceptability of its construct validity, which exceeds the threshold of 0.70. Therefore, this tool can be valuable for evaluating driving safety behaviour.

Abstract

Due to the advancement in technology, people are using various electronic devices. People using electronics and the internet at inappropriate times may have a harder time falling asleep and have less sleep duration, and the sharp rise in electronic device use has numerous adverse effects. This study aimed to assess the impact of the usage of electronic devices on sleep and also to determine the factors influencing sleep among healthcare professions students. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The association was assessed using the Chi-square test and simple binary logistic regression to identify the factors. Of the total 446, 36.4% reported not having problems during the past month in getting to sleep within 30 minutes. Internet use at school during a typical weekday, 22.2% use 2-4 hours a day; outside of school during a typical weekday, 24.7% use >6 hours. 34.3% use the internet >6 hours outside of school on weekends. The crude OR observed was 4.1, 3.7, 3.6 and 3.9 for 1-2, 2-4, 4-6, >6 hours respectively which is statistically significant. Factors that showed statistical significance for sleep duration were nationality and internet use outside the school during a typical weekend day. For how long it takes to fall asleep, the age group was the factor that showed statistical significance.

Abstract

In both global and Thai contexts, unhealthy behaviors such as alcohol consumption, smoking, excessive salt intake, and sedentary lifestyles contribute to hypertension. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends lifestyle adjustments for blood pressure control. This quasi-experimental study examined the impact of an intervention on elderly individuals with prehypertension. People living in two villages were selected, matching two others demographically and geographically. The intervention focused on a balanced diet, physical activity, stress management, and reduced tobacco/alcohol use with a low-sodium diet. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured three times after a 10-minute rest using a calibrated sphygmomanometer. The study showed significant improvements with p<0.001. Systolic blood pressure decreased by 5.94 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure decreased by 3.37 mmHg, and heart rate decreased by 4.12  bpm. The findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive lifestyle modifications to manage prehypertension and reduce hypertension-related complications in older people. Further research and interventions are needed to address people with hypertension globally, including in Thailand.

Abstract

The study aimed to delve into the successful implementation of Video-Based Intervention (VBI) in improving activity of daily living skills (ADL) among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Three primary electronic databases were utilised to perform this review: WOS, Scopus and Google Scholar. The process primarily used the research methodologies by Arksey and O'Malley as a framework. In the course of performing the scoping review, three themes emerged: firstly, a wide range of VBI techniques can be employed to enhance the skills of children with ASD; secondly, when VBI is coupled with adequate implementation support specifically tailored for children with ASD, it can effectively improve their daily living abilities. Essentially, the findings of this study support that VBI implementations can promote desired skills in ADL among children with ASD. Furthermore, additional implementation support complements video modeling, improving skill acquisition in ASD. This research enhances the existing knowledge base dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for children with ASD, providing valuable insights for educators, clinicians, and families involved in their care.

Abstract

This innovation was created to control the dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) vector population in the larval cycle because several previous control methods were considered less sensitive, effective, and efficient. To test the effectiveness of portable electrical-mechanical methods in controlling Aedes aegypti larvae. The research design was posttest only which was tested on 80-liter and 90-liter volume containers in light and dark colors. Statistical analysis used the independent samples t-test, and Pearson correlation (α=5%). Laboratory test results show that the average time needed to suck all the larvae in a light-colored container with a volume of 80 liters is 38 seconds (28-57 seconds) and a volume of 90 liters is 99.6 seconds (80-119 seconds). In a dark-colored container, the 80-liter volume is 50.8 seconds (3-89 seconds) and the 90-liter volume is 106.8 seconds (88-122 seconds). This tool sucks larvae faster in containers with a volume of 80 liters compared to a volume of 90 liters. The greater the volume of water and the higher the water surface, the longer it takes to suck the larvae. This tool is effective and efficient in speeding up the process of monitoring, collecting, and controlling larvae in large containers.

Abstract

This article aims to describe and qualitatively analyze the diffusion of innovation in healthcare services, specifically focusing on post-treatment healthcare services in the city of Bengkulu, Indonesia. Based on the innovation diffusion theory and incorporating the theory of reasoned action (TRA), this research explores behavior in the process of organizing and implementing healthcare services to enhance the quality of public services in Bengkulu. The study employs a qualitative descriptive research approach, utilizing data sources such as interviews, direct field observations, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that knowledge serves as the primary foundation in the diffusion of innovation in healthcare services. In the context of post-treatment services, the community lacks knowledge about these services. The findings of this research are expected to provide insights for the local government of Bengkulu, particularly Harapan dan Doa Hospital (RSHD) in Bengkulu, as a healthcare service provider. Through knowledge dissemination among all stakeholders supporting innovation diffusion, each can play their respective roles. Consequently, with knowledge playing a key role in the diffusion of innovation in healthcare services, it is anticipated that it will enhance the quality of healthcare services through effective and efficient service delivery, with a focus on the goals of innovation.

Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus remains a serious health threat, with an increase of 24% newly cases globally. Targeting Tat protein is an emerging therapeutic strategy for inhibiting the feedback loop that drives the exponential increase in viral transcription and particle production of the virus. The study aimed to determine the inhibitory potential of phenolic compounds from Ricinus communis L. and Jatropha curcas L., against the Tat C protein using in silico techniques. Phenolic compounds identified from both plants were screened by absorption-distribution-metabolism-excretion (ADME) analysis using drug-likeness prediction. Molecular docking analysis of the compounds with drug-like properties against the receptor and ligand-protein complexes’ analysis and visualization were performed. The results revealed three phenolic compounds with the highest negative binding affinity to the receptor’s active site: ellagic and neochlorogenic acids with - 7.2 kcal/mol and isohemiphloin with -7.3 kcal/mol. The interacting amino acids of the complexes were majorly His13, Lys19, Lys28, Thr64, His65, Gln66, Pro70, Gln72, and Pro73 via non-covalent interactions: hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions. The identified phenolic compounds provide a core structure that can be candidate for plant-based antiviral drugs development to potentially aiding in the virus’s therapeutic challenge.

Abstract

Falls are a major cause of death among older people, and they are becoming a bigger problem as people lose their balance. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to examine the effects of marching exercises on the balance abilities of community-dwelling Thai seniors at risk of collapsing. Thirty-five participants were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. The experimental group engaged in a 12-week marching exercise program that included a continuous foot-turning phase. The control group did not engage in any form of exercise. Compared to the control group, the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in their ability to maintain their balance. The experimental group's timed up and go test (TUG) score decreased by 3.54 seconds, 95%CI: (2.13 to 4.95), p<0.001 while the functional reach test (FRT) score increased by 4.80 centimeters, 95%CI: (2.34 to 7.25), p<0.001. The systolic blood pressure decreased by 8.62 mmHg, the diastolic blood pressure by 6.48 mmHg, and the heart rate by 4.04 beats per minute. These findings imply that regular marching exercise may improve balance in at-risk older adults. Further research is necessary to clarify the effects of marching exercise on people diagnosed with chronic diseases.
