<![CDATA[Scoliosis is defined as a vertebral deformity characterized by a lateral deviation of at least 10° with vertebral rotation. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is generally found in children aged 10-18 years. Changes in the scoliosis curve are influenced by various etiologic factors including age, sex, growth factors, curve location and biomechanical factors. The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of adolescent iidophatic scoliosis in school students aged 12-15 years in Surakarta city. Physical examination using Adam's forward bending test, scoliometer and risk factor questionnaire. The research subjects were 325 people with an age range of 12-15 years. Research subjects are included in the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis category if the Adam's forward bending test is positive and the scoliometer value is >10°. The highest prevalence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis was found in school children aged 14 years. The prevalence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is higher in female (3.4%) than male students (0.3%). Determining factors that might influence the onset of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis including age, gender, biomechanical factors, habits or lifestyles factors and physical activity.]]>

<![CDATA[Waist circumference (WC) measurements in the elderly are uncommon and erratic. Furthermore, its correlation to hypertension has received less attention in Indonesia. This study attempted to investigate direct and indirect risk factors for high blood pressure in the elderly using structural equation modeling (SEM). A cross-sectional study was conducted in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. The 297 elderly aged ≥60 is eager to take part. The path model of factors associated with blood pressure was analyzed using Stata 13. Male (b=-0.43; 95% CI=-5.67 to 4.81; p=0.872), age (b=0.52; 95% CI=0.12 to 0.93; p=0.012), and WC (b=0.35; 95% CI=0.17 to 0.53; p<0.001) directly affected systolic blood pressure (SBP). Male (b=1.83; 95% CI=-1.17 to 4.82; p=0.231), age (b=-0.03; 95% CI=-0.26 to 0.20; p=0.790), BMI (b=0.40; 95% CI=-0.03 to 0.83; p=0.067), and WC (b=0.04; 95% CI=-0.09 to 0.16; p=0.571) directly affected diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Increasing age, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) are the important variables that influence blood pressure in older people. This study supports the evidence that body composition and weight control are necessary to prevent and control blood pressure in the elderly.]]>

<![CDATA[Breast milk is the best food for babies that can be given until the child is two years old or more, it is proven that breast milk has advantages that cannot be replaced by any food and drink because it contains the most appropriate, complete, and always adjusting nutrients with the baby's needs at all times. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between physical endurance and economic resilience of the family on exclusive breastfeeding behavior. This research was analytic research using a cross-sectional design. The sample of this research was 108 postpartum mothers who were taken by simple random sampling technique. The independent variables in this study were physical endurance and economic resilience, while the dependent variable was the behavior of exclusive breastfeeding. All data were collected using a questionnaire prepared by the researcher, and data were analyzed using a logistic regression test. Adequacy of food, housing ownership, and health insurance ownership are factors that influence exclusive breastfeeding behavior with a p-value <0.05. While 8 other indicators including nutritional adequacy, family health, resting place, income, income adequacy, children's educational ability, dropping out of school, and ownership of family savings do not affect exclusive breastfeeding behavior. Physical endurance relationship between the behavior of exclusive breastfeeding on the indicator of food adequacy and the factor of economic resilience affects the behavior of exclusive breastfeeding on the indicators of housing ownership and health insurance.]]>

<![CDATA[Fatty liver disease is caused by increased liver buildup or weight above 5-10%. This disorder is widespread in people with diabetes, overweight persons, and metabolic syndrome patients. Clinical decision support systems can improve liver failure diagnosis and prediction to reduce this situation. Many liver failure models have drawbacks, and liver failure prediction is still a problem. This work uses four large open-access critical care patient datasets to create and verify liver failure risk prediction models. This study aims to construct a clinically applicable diagnostic and predictive model that evaluates the probability or risk of liver failure in intensive care unit (ICU) patients using extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), artificial neural networks (ANN), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), Modular Neural Network (MNN), and generalized feed forward (GFF). We evaluated performance metrics using these models: accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and predictive accuracy.]]>

<![CDATA[Unhealthy lifestyles among adolescents in urban areas are still a problem. Peers are role models in adolescent's lifestyle. However, little is known about the peer support in eating behavior, sedentary lifestyle and physical activities, which thus needs to be explored. This study aims to analyze the relationship between peer support and adolescent lifestyle. This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 105 adolescents using proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected by questionnaire. The Spearman rho test was performed to identify the relationship between peer support within a sedentary lifestyle and eating behavior, while to identify the relationship between peer support and physical activity using pearson, the level of significance was determined as p≤0.05. The results showed that there was a relationship between peer support and eating behavior (p=0.012; r=0.243) as well as adolescents' physical activity (p=0.001; r=0.324). There is no relationship between peer support and a sedentary lifestyle both on weekdays (p=0.181; r=0.131) and on weekends (p=0.735; r=0.033). The results show that peers have an important role in improving healthy lifestyle patterns in adolescents, especially in eating behavior and physical activity, so peer involvement interventions to improve healthy lifestyles in adolescents are recommended.]]>

<![CDATA[Hemodialysis (HD) patients have a high rate of poor sleep. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is the most popular self-reported instrument to measure sleep quality. No study has tested the psychometric efficiency of the Bahasa (Indonesian language) PSQI in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and no cross-cultural adaptation has been done. The purpose of this research was to translate the PSQI into Bahasa and improve its psychometric properties for use in evaluating HD patients in Indonesia. This study used instrument translation, cultural adaptation, content validation, and equivalence to crossculturally validate and adapt an instrument. The hemodialysis center at a West Java medical facility served as a source of potential HD patients throughout the period of October 2022 to February 2023. A content validity index (CVI) was calculated for each item and the entire scale. The factor structure of the Bahasa PSQI has been evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's alpha. The online survey received a response rate of 62.8% from a total of 220 patient with HD (about ten responders each item). The level of language clarity was 87.8%, and the level of cultural relevance was 84.5%. The CVI varied from 0.92 to 1.00. Each factor had factor loading ranging from 0.51 to 0.62. that Cronbach alpha for total score was 0.803, and the subscale ranged from 0.771 to 0.863. Our research provides preliminary evidence of the validity and reliability of the translated and adapted tool using data from HD patients in Indonesian hospitals.]]>

<![CDATA[Stigma has become one of the aspects closely associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), causing adverse effects for those affected. The primary goal of this scoping review is to identify various intervention models aimed at reducing HIV-related stigma. This review follows the PRISMA 2015 guidelines and utilizes sources from three online journal databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. Search criteria include articles published in the last five years, from 2018 to 2023. Out of the initially retrieved 1,084 articles, 9 articles meeting inclusion criteria were selected for a more in-depth review. Most interventions typically employ a mix of strategies, incorporating diverse degrees of social-ecological involvement. Interventions employing dual strategies and extended durations with multiple sessions have the potential to more effectively reduce stigma. Supporting HIV-safe spaces and encouraging community involvement to understand the link between HIV stigma and the spread of HIV/AIDS in their surroundings can effectively reduce HIV stigma. Overall, most studies included in this review indicate fairly satisfactory outcomes. However, when implementing interventions, it remains crucial to tailor them to the specific location, considering that stigma is a social construct. The development of instruments to measure intervention effectiveness needs to be pursued to comprehensively identify significant intervention impacts.]]>

<![CDATA[Preventing healthcare errors and reducing damage are becoming the basic concepts of patient safety development. Healthcare personnel need to be more careful and minimize complications that can occur during patient care. Psychological empowerment is important to support a safety culture and patient outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between psychological empowerment (PE) and patient outcome (PO) mediated by patient safety culture (PSC). A cross-sectional survey study was conducted in private hospitals accredited by Joint Commission International. A total of 150 healthcare personnel as participants who met the requirements were obtained by distributing the questionnaires in March 2023. Significant results in mediating patient safety culture have been analyzed using partial least square-structural equation modeling (SEM). The dimensionality of PE and PSC was assessed by a new method that is a disjoint two-stage approach. The role of PSC was found to fully mediate the positive relationship between psychological empowerment and patient outcome (=0.436, p-value 0.05). This study contributes to growing the value of developing a safety culture and the function of psychological empowerment in healthcare staff to enhance patient outcomes.]]>

<![CDATA[The uneven condition of education in Indonesia has led to the phenomenon of overseas students. This phenomenon is an effort made by prospective students to obtain higher quality education or more according to their interests. Students who migrate certainly face bigger challenges, one of which is loneliness. Many studies reveal that the negative impact of feelings of loneliness experienced by a person, so it requires further study. The main objective of this study is to see how father nurturance influences loneliness among overseas students. This study used a quantitative approach with a total of 107 respondents. From this study, it was found that the role of the father has a significant influence on feelings of loneliness experienced by overseas students.]]>

<![CDATA[Primigravida in adolescence will experience changes in situations that require the ability to adapt to pregnancy, thereby affecting their confidence in breastfeeding their babies. The function of the family is to help prepare the pregnant mother's needs to face the changes of pregnancy, prepare for childbirth and overcome difficulties in breastfeeding. This research aims to determine the function of the family in increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy of adolescent primigravida. Correlational research design, population and sample of 124 teenage primigravida respondents using total sampling technique. The independent variable family function was measured using the family assessment device (FAD) questionnaire and the dependent variable breastfeeding self-efficacy using the breastfeeding self-efficacy scale short form (BSES-SF) questionnaire which was analyzed using the Rho Spearman rank test. The research results showed that almost all respondents (90.3%) had healthy family functions and almost all respondents (83.9%) had high self-confidence. The statistical test results showed a significant p-value of 0.000 (α<0.05) with r=0.746. The function of the family in providing a sense of security and comfort creates a positive attitude among adolescent primigravida towards breastfeeding self-efficacy. Breastfeeding self-efficacy needs to increase breastfeeding success and prevent stunting.]]>
