Abstract

Adolescents with fathers who have schizophrenia are more likely to experience emotional dysregulation, negative decisions, a failure to form an identity, inconsistency in decision-making, and failure to adapt. This study is aimed to investigate the lived experiences of adolescents who live with a father who has schizophrenia in an urban area of Bandung City, West Java. The qualitative phenomenological approach was used in this study. In-depth interviews were conducted with six adolescent participants, aged 13 to 22, who live in Bandung City with a father diagnosed with schizophrenia. The Colaizzi method was then used to analyze the interview transcripts. Data analysis produced eight major themes: i) dealing with psychosocial problems and moral dilemmas, ii) a lack of closeness between father and children, iii) exposures to violence inside and outside the home, iv) getting the wisdom behind the catastrophe, v) changing roles and responsibilities, vi) a lack of social support, vii) difficulties to share personal issues, and viii) seeking to build a better future. The adolescents still have opportunities to continue building a better future. Improving health promotion and education programs to manage negative emotions and developing Self-Help Groups for adolescents whose fathers have schizophrenia is thus necessary.

Abstract

Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is an obsessive behavior towards healthy food with more importance on the quality than the quantity of food. Medical students tend to experience ON. The prevalence of ON in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tanjungpura (FK UNTAN) is around 56.1%. The study is conducted to assess the relationship between body mass index (BMI), diet, and eating patterns with ON indications for students of the Medical Study Program, FK UNTAN. This study uses mixed method (quantitativequalitative), for 66 students (2020 and 2021 batches) through proportionate stratified sampling and 10 students with low and high ON indications with the convenience methode. Analysis used Spearman's rho correlation test and contingency coefficient; qualitative analysis used descriptive inductive method. Bivariate analysis showed p>0.005 for BMI (p=0.139, diet (p=0.105), and the results were invalid for dietary pattern. Qualitative analysis shows people with ON can be influenced by social media which is characterized by their habit of seeking inspiration for healthy eating behaviors. There is no statistically significant relationship between BMI, diet, and eating patterns with ON but still found in FK students because of their knowledge related to nutrition, health and the desire to avoid illness.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Abuse and overuse of antibiotics cause the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance. Doctors, nurses, midwives, and pharmacy professionals play an essential role in providing information and education on the use of antibiotics to the public. This study aims to compare and identify the factors that influence the knowledge and attitudes of students’ medicine, midwifery, pharmacy, and nursing toward antimicrobial resistance. An online crosssectional survey involving 530 medical, midwifery, pharmacy, and nursing students who are currently in the clinical or professional study stage. The Mann–Whitney U test and the Kruskal–Wallis test was run to assess differences in the mean scores of knowledges and attitudes. Factors related to knowledge and attitudes regarding antibiotic resistance were analyzed using linear regression. Most (93%) students have a good level of knowledge and have a positive attitude 49.81%, neutral 43.78%, and negative 6.41%. There was a relationship between age (p=0.012), major (p=0.000), source of information (p=0.013), and knowledge and attitudes about antibiotics (p<0.05). We conclude that there are differences in knowledge and attitudes toward antibiotic resistance among clinical-stage students of medicine, midwifery, pharmacy, and nursing. We found that essential knowledge and attitudes should be revised regarding antibiotic resistance.

Abstract

The incidence rate of premature rupture of membranes in Yogyakarta, Indonesia was 10.1%, the highest rate in Indonesia. This study's goal was to determine factors related to premature rupture of membranes among pregnant women in Sardjito Hospital. There were 220 pregnant women, 110 in the premature rupture of membranes or case group and 110 no premature rupture of membranes as control group. Urinary tract infection, anemia, and preterm premature rupture of membrane and the characteristics were the research factors. The Chi-square test and logistic regression were used to examine the data. Secondary data from medical records for the period January 2021 December 2022 was taken. Result of this study showed that 49.1% of the pregnant women in the case group had anemia, and 47.3% had urinary tract infections. In the control group had anemia 30.9% of pregnant women, while urinary tract infections infected 61.8% of them. Urinary tract infections and anemia were associated with a greater incidence of preterm premature rupture of membranes, according to a bivariate analysis with p-values of 0.042 and 0.009 (p-value=0.05). Anemia was the most significant factor associated with the incidence of preterm premature rupture of membranes (OR=2.26).

Abstract

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.

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

Community-based health protocols are essential strategies for prevention and control of COVID-19 and community participation is an essential contribution of communities during the pandemic. This study assessed community participation to COVID-19 prevention and control activities among barangays in a component city in northern Philippines. This descriptive-quantitative research was conducted in six barangays with the least and most COVID-19 cases in 2021. Barangay residents, officials and health workers were surveyed about community participation using five process indicators namely needs assessment, leadership, organization, resource mobilization and management. A high level of community participation towards COVID-19 prevention and control activities was seen in the barangays with leadership having the highest mean (4.23) and resource mobilization having the lowest mean (3.44). Leadership was significantly the same among all barangays while organization, management, needs assessment and resource mobilization significantly differed according to type of barangay, COVID-19 prevalence and population size. The researchers conclude that there is strong community participation of barangays towards COVID-19 prevention and control activities especially along leadership. However, the capacity of barangays to contribute, mobilize and distribute resources must be improved to maximize community prevention and control of COVID-19.

Abstract

Regardless of the numerous reviews and publications on typhoid fever in the Philippines, it continues to be an issue regarding public health. Using data obtained from the Philippine Health Statistics (PHS), this study examined trends in typhoid fever mortality across an interval of six decades in the Philippines. The mortality and morbidity rates of typhoid fever were analyzed to discover trends of change for each year, age group, sex, and area. The Microsoft Excel software tool became used for all data analysis. The results show a decrease in typhoid fever fatality rates in the Philippines over the previous year. In terms of sex-specific deaths, males outnumbered females. The individuals aged 70 and older have the highest death rates when it comes to age-specific mortality rates. In the Philippines, Region I also has the highest mortality rate from typhoid fever. For instance, the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) has the lowest mortality rate from typhoid fever. The highest average morbidity rate is in the Cordillera administrative region (CAR), while the lowest is in Region IVB. To eliminate typhoid fever in the next few years and to completely combat typhoid fever throughout the years, educational campaign awareness or intimate knowledge must be conducted locally and globally.

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.
