Abstract

Breastfeeding promotion is vital for improving neonatal health and reducing mortality rates, particularly in developing countries. The World Health Organization advocates for exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life due to its substantial benefits for infant growth, development, and immunity. Understanding the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding, such as maternal knowledge and practices, is crucial for devising effective interventions to enhance breastfeeding rates among mothers. Social-psychological interventions, including family and peer support, have demonstrated efficacy in increasing breastfeeding frequency by addressing behavioral changes in new parents. Psychological factors such as self-efficacy, postnatal depression, and stress significantly influence breastfeeding decisions. Additionally, cultural norms, social media, and healthcare professionals are critical in shaping breastfeeding practices. This literature review examines the influence of these factors and interventions, underscoring the need for comprehensive strategies to promote breastfeeding, especially among novice and young mothers. Peer support programs, education-based initiatives, and postnatal support are highlighted as effective approaches. The study emphasizes the importance of tailored socio-psychological interventions and calls for further research to address existing gaps and strengthen the validity of findings, ultimately aiming to enhance breastfeeding outcomes and the overall well-being of mothers and infants.

Abstract

Failure to give exclusive breastfeeding is a risk factor for stunting and malnutrition in toddlers. Other factors that may be the cause of a woman not giving exclusive breastfeeding must be known like family factors, health service factors or there are still other factors. The aim of this study to description the factors causing infants 0-6 months not to receive exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of the Gatak Health Center. The descriptive analytical research method with total sampling technique obtained a sample of 58 mothers who did not provide exclusive breastfeeding to their infants. The study found that the majority of mothers who did not provide exclusive breastfeeding were aged between 20 and 35 years old, had completed high school or vocational school education, and were employed. The 94.8% of the mothers had good health condition. External factors included mothers with good knowledge, lack of family support, and good support from healthcare workers. Factors causing mothers not to provide exclusive breastfeeding included their productive age and high level of knowledge, which made them prefer to work, resulting in less intensive time with their babies. Mothers felt that they lacked support from their families, which discouraged them from providing exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder that causes chronic abdominal pain without a known cause. It is a common, chronic gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorder with bothersome symptoms that often lower quality of life and activity. In addition, Patients and healthcare facilities also face significant financial costs. COVID-19 directly damages the digestive system and alters the complex interaction of physical, mental, and social factors that cause digestive problems. SARS-CoV-2 survivors in personal isolation will be examined for IBS prevalence. The dates of this descriptive cross-sectional study are January through April 2023. Rome IV criteria and an online questionnaire were used to confirm the diagnosis of IBS. The principal location where polls have been sent is East Java, Indonesia. The 96 COVID-19 survivors aged 18–60 of both genders was included during self-quarantine. There were 59 females (61.46%) and 37 males (38.54%). The prevalence of IBS was discovered to be 19 (19.79%) among a total of 96 patients. This could be because self-quarantined people have more stable living conditions than hospitalized people. Based on these findings, it is suggested that future research consider gender as the primary proxy for identifying irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Abstract

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.

Abstract

High school students face an elevated risk of psychological problems, with multiple determinants contributing to this vulnerability. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between academic stress, social support, and learning engagement among Thai high school students. A total of 109 high school students were recruited from one school located in Bangkok, Thailand. The academic stress, social support questionnaires, and learning engagement questionnaires were completed and analyzed for the correlation using Pearson’s and Spearman’s analysis. Multiple linear regression was done to determine variables influencing on academic stress. Medium level of academic stress was found (mean±SD=3.21±0.73). Academic stress was significantly correlated with social support (r=0.252, p<0.01) in a positive direction; however, the negative correlation with learning engagement did not reach statistical significance (rho=-0.108, p>0.05). Positive influence on academic stress was also found in social support (B=0.119, p<0.007), but not the learning engagement (B=-0.089, p=0.393). Thai high school students had medium level of academic stress, which correlated with and be positively influenced by social support. Our findings emphasize the importance of appropriate social support system to reduce stress and promote well-being among Thai high school students.

Abstract

Recovery and quality of life for people with schizophrenia (PWS) are persisting challenges in mental health services. Therefore, this research aims to investigate factors contributing significantly to PWS recovery for quality-of-life enhancement. A comprehensive search across six databases, including Scopus, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, SpringerLink, Web of Science, and CINAHL generated 196, 122, 134, 79, 51, and 113 articles, respectively, for screening. These 695 articles focused on patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in recovery, as well as comprised journal publications from 2019 to 2023 and quantitative or qualitative research published in English. A total of 22 articles that met the inclusion criteria were subject to a review process. The results showed that PWS recovery was influenced by coping strategies, illness severity, treatment compliance, hope, spirituality, social support, and partnerships, while self-stigma hindered recovery and quality of life. However, spirituality was found to significantly foster hope, self-confidence, self-control, and meaning for PWS. Health profesional played an important role in the recovery process through the establishment of partnerships, provision of coping skills, and empowerment of patients.

Abstract

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, extensive restrictions were imposed on public facilities, including markets. Market traders and visitors were required to adhere with the health protocols government-established. This study's objective is to identify the factors influencing adherence with health protocols among traders. A cross-sectional survey was carried out in traditional and modern market located in Bogor Regency, Indonesia, from March to June 2022. The study encompassed all registered traders belonging to the traditional and modern market association. A total of 240 traders were chosen through a systematic random sampling method based on a hypothesis 2 test of population proportion. Primary data was gathered using a questionnaire and the research data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. In traditional markets, the majority of traders, about 65.0%, did not adhere with the health protocols, whereas in modern markets, approximately 71.7% of traders adhered to the protocols. The determinants of adherence to health protocols were knowledge (p=0.007; OR=3.311; 95% CI=1.395-7.857) in traditional markets and perceived susceptibility (p=0.001; OR=10.377; 95% CI=2.494-43.180) in modern markets. Knowledge and perceived susceptibility are determinant of market traders' adherence with health protocols. Enhanced adherence to health protocols can be achieved by boosting traders' understanding and awareness of COVID-19.

Abstract

B12 deficiency has a higher prevalence in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. The causes of this observation are poorly understood. Self-imposed (vegan/vegetarian) or advised dietary modification or intake of metformin could be contributing. Hence, we undertook this study to evaluate the dietary intake of Vitamin B12 in diabetes patients in comparison with age-matched healthy controls. Fifty T2DM patients (cases) and 50 age-matched volunteers (controls) aged 35-60 years were enrolled at a tertiary hospital, in New Delhi. Sociodemographic and dietary information was gathered and the average dietary intake of B12 was estimated using the Cobalamin Intake in North Indians-Food Frequency Questionnaire (COIN-FFQ) (developed and validated). Medical records were reviewed for biochemical parameters (HbA1c, lipid profile, and blood sugar) of the last three months. The mean age was 50.66±6.09 years (n=100) and the mean body mass index of 28.49±4.53 kg/m2. The mean intake of dietary B12 was 3.2±1.7 μg/day and 3.8±1.4 μg/day (p=0.047) in diabetes patients and controls respectively. Thirty-six percent of diabetes patients did not meet the currently recommended daily dietary intake of B12 intake (vs. 14% of controls; p=0.011). Diabetes patients have a lower dietary intake of Vitamin B12 attributable to their distinctive dietary pattern. It is necessary to explore the factors leading to lower dietary B12 intake in diabetes patients.

Abstract

This study addresses the pressing need for further investigation into risk factors contributing to genital prolapse recurrence, with a focus on factors like younger age and body mass index (BMI) that have been confirmed in the literature. Conducted as a cross-sectional study involving 300 post-operative cases of genital prolapse patients, the case groups comprising 210 individuals received regular gynecological check-ups every six months during the initial five years post-surgery, followed by annual visits, wherein lifestyle, diet, and laboratory values were monitored and adjusted. In contrast, the control group (90 patients) did not undergo post-operative gynecological follow-up. The results indicate that weight lifting, heavy physical work, menopause, constipation, insufficient protein intake, diseases associated with prolonged cough, and BMI are strongly associated with the likelihood of recurrent genital prolapse, while a weight reduction of 5 kg or more exhibits a protective effect (p<0.001). The established regression model proves statistically significant, explaining 84.1% of genital prolapse recurrence factors, with a sensitivity of 84.8% and specificity of 98.8%. These findings emphasize the importance of postoperative lifestyle monitoring, nutritional guidance, and immune support to reduce the risk of genital prolapse recurrence.
