International Journal of Public Health Science (IJPHS) Vol 4, No 1: March 2015
Publisher : Intelektual Pustaka Media Utama

A survey was conducted to assess the nutritional status of children (0-6 years) among 40 Anganwadis in 4 districts of Kerala State registered under the ICDS scheme. A self- prepared structured interview schedule was used. To get the qualitative information of the study anthropometric measures include height and weight were used for assessing nutritional status of the children. The stepwise analysis of two variables height for age and weight for age was applicable on the basis of Waterlow’s and Gomez’ classification. To examine the relationship between nutritional status of the child and selected variable that affects nutritional status of children, Chi-square test was employed. Based on Gomez’ classification, out of 400 children, only 300 (75.0%) of children received supplementary nutrition through ICDS out of which 250 (62.5%) children were normal while 50 (12.5%) were underweight. Based on Waterlow’s classification out of 400 children, only 290 (72.5%) of children received supplementary nutrition through ICDS out of these children 200 (50 %) were normal while 90 (22.5%) were stunted. It can thus be concluded that majority of children were normal who received supplementary nutrition through ICDS.

Good patient safety culture of healthcare professionals brings about fine consequences for patients. This study, therefore, aimed in evaluating the current status and predictors of safety culture among healthcare workers in Mekelle Zone hospitals, Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 325 healthcare workers in three hospitals of Mekelle city from February to May, 2017. Simple random sampling technique was employed to select study subjects. Data was analyzed using SPSS. Logistic regression was used to determine the predictors of patient safety culture among healthcare workers at 95% confidence level and 5% level of significance. Statistical significance was set at p <0.05. Of the 325 Healthcare workers, 21.6% rated the culture of patient safety as satisfactory and 78.4% rated as unsatisfactory. Old aged healthcare workers (AOR=21.9, 95% of CI: 2.51-61.69) and ‘hospital management support for patient safety’ (AOR=2.68, 95% CI=1.06-6.79) were strong predictor of satisfactory patient safety culture. Satisfactory patient safety culture grade obtained was only 21.6%, indicating that health care professionals are not delivering patient centered service and there is a lot of work to be done in the hospitals to improve culture of patient safety among healthcare workers.

One of the most frequently prescribed drugs in geriatric patients is a benzodiazepine, especially a short-acting such as alprazolam. Unfortunately, alprazolam is oftenly used inappropriately because this drug has a short acting effect. Geriatric patients are more sensitive to this drug that can lead to the dependence. However, there is still lack of data on the use of this drug in geriatric patients. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of the use of alprazolam. A drug utilization study has been done for 2 months through analysis of patient’s medical records in the internal medicine ward at RSMH Palembang from June 1st, 2012 to May 31st, 2013. There were 25 out of 1634 patients receiving alprazolam, but only 23 patients whose data were obtained from the available medical records. Prevalence of alprazolam use was 1.408%. Based on gender, the prevalence was 1.798% in female and 1.09% in male patients. Proportion by age group was 91.3%, 8.7% and 0% in age group 60-74 years, 75-90 years and over 90 years, respectively. Based on the job, the population study comprised of the housewive (52.1%), unemployment (39.1%), and entrepreneur and farmer (4.3% together). The indication of usage was atheroscerotic heart disease, diarrhoea and gastroenteritis of presumed infectious origin, unspecified gastritis, and thyrotoxic heart disease. In other words, it could be said that the usage of alprazolam was inappropriate.

International Journal of Public Health Science (IJPHS) Vol 3, No 1: March 2014
Publisher : Intelektual Pustaka Media Utama

Positive association between skipping breakfast and overweight and obesity is globally observed regardless of cultural diversity among countries. A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on a total of 426 urban adults, who were randomly selected in a nutrition counseling center of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. The objective of this study was determining the association between breakfast skipping and obesity risk in urban adults of Bangladesh. Results indicated that approximately 35.2% of the sample skipped breakfast. Gender was the only statistically significant sociodemographic variable, with females skipping at two times the rate of males (OR 95% CI: 1.9; 1.3-2.9). Obesity was detected among 39.5% of breakfast skippers and they showed significantly high prevalence (X2=30.15, p<0.05). Skippers were significantly more likely being obese (OR 3.5; 95% CI 2.2-5.5) and obesity was more prevalent in female skippers (X2=8.7, p<0.05), with three times more compared to male skippers (OR 95% CI: 2.8; 1.4-5.9). Breakfast skipping is highly prevalent among urban adult population with significant association of obesity in Bangladesh. Health promotion strategies should be used to encourage all adults to eat breakfast regularly.

Black cumin seed oil (BCSO) contains many thymoquinone and unsaturated fatty acids that act as antioxidants. Thymoquinone was thought to inhibit pancreatic damage and prevent hyperglycemia by involving p53. The study aimed to determine the BCSO effect on Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and p53 expression of pancreatic tissues in alloxan-induced Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. This study used Pre and Post Test with Control Group Design with 49 male Sprague Dawley rats aged 30 days weighing 150 - 300 gram. Rats were divided into 7 groups: Group I, the normal control group receiving standard feeding and drinking; Group II, the negative control group receiving alloxan; Group III & IV, the treatment groups, receiving BCSO with a dose of 6.9 mg/KgBW (BCSO6.8) and 68 mg/KgBW (BCSO68 group); Group V, the positive control 1 group receiving simvastatin 10 mg/KgBW; Group VI, the positive control 2 group receiving vitamin C 18 mg/200mgBW; Group VII, the solvent control receiving DMSO. The treatment groups received two different doses per day for 9 days orally. Blood MDA and glucose levels were determined by spectrophotometry and p53 expression of pancreas tissues were read by a pathologist. The results show that the BCSO68 group had a decreased activity of MDA and glucose but a higher expression of p53 in pancreatic tissues compared to the BCSO6.8 group. Decreased Malondialdehyde levels in the BCSO68 group were similar to those in the vitamin C group but lower than those in the simvastatin group (p<0.05). It can be concluded that the BCSO administration of 68 mg/KgBW per day can decrease blood Malondialdehyde and glucose levels and increase p53 expression.

The primary aim of family planning program is to enable women to fulfill their own needs and desires toward childbearing whether they want to space or limit their birth. However, issues of unmet need in Indonesia, particularly in East Java Province become the urgent problem to be address recently. Based on the data set of the 2014 Mini Survey of Eligible couple in Indonesia, this study attempted to identify the demographic characteristic of women aged 15 – 49 with unmet need, to describe their experienced used contraceptive and to find out reasons for nonuse of contraceptive. This study found that women with unmet need are more likely to be higher among older women, have lower and higher level of education, living in urban areas, and have more number of living children. Most of respondents stated that they had experienced to use contraception before with injectable, IUDs and pill. Other results show a significant number of women mentioned method-related reasons (fear of side effects, health concerns, and inconvenient to use) as most often cited reasons for nonuse. Some important policy implications offered from this study in order to eradicate barriers to the use of contraceptive methods are to improve follow-up, strengthen counselling approaches to address fear of side effects, promote information, education and communication (IEC) on reproductive health and provide availability of the most suitable method according to the need, such as to avoid health problems of women.

Different forms of tobacco advertisement and promotional activities are the burden of tobacco epidemic in Bangladesh. A descriptive type of cross-sectional study was carried out on a total of 404 adults, randomly selected from urban and rural areas. Data were collected implementing both qualitative and quantitative methods from July to September 2013 and found 52% of the respondents were smoking cigarette or bidi, within them only 30% of the male adults were never user of tobacco of any kind. The respondents mainly noticed packet wall (52%), posters (65%), and big size packets (38%) as indirect advertisement as well as free sample (51%) and free gifts (43%) as promotional activities. A significant effect was identified of the activities on increasing consumption which tobacco control advocates and practitioners always argue. Existing laws do not allow giving free samples and free gift to persons, it should be enforced adequately as well as all tobacco control activists should be vigilant on unlawful activities of tobacco traders.

The use of active transportation such as walking to and from school is on the decline globally. The primary purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of active school transportation among primary and junior high school students in the Upper East and Upper West regions of Ghana. The secondary purpose was to examine predictors for meeting the recommended daily number of steps. A total of 2505 (1117 boys and 1388 girls) primary (1583) and junior high school (922) students participated in the study. The distances from children’s homes to their schools, heights, and body weights were measured –their heights were used to estimate their stride lengths. The step count for each participant to and from school each day was calculated. Data were analyzed using conditional percentage distribution and Logit model. Analyses indicated that 98.96% of participants used active transportation to and from school. Over 63% of the students were within the normal BMI range. However, 26.47% of the participants were either thin or underweight while 9.9% were either overweight or obese. Overall, 46.47% of the participants met the recommended daily steps. The Logit model indicated that educational level, BMI, mode of transportation, region, height, and age were significant predictors for meeting the recommended daily number of steps. The prevalence of school active transportation in the present study was high compared to that reported in other studies. Furthermore, the prevalence of thinness and underweight were higher than in previous studies, while the prevalence in overweight and obesity were lower.
