Abstract

Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) is an optional cervical cancer screening method. National guideline of Nepal has emphasized using the VIA and intended to achieve at least a 50% screening rate by 2015 but the overall coverage is only 2.4% in 2019. A cross-sectional study was conducted to identify the factors associated with the utilization of VIA screening in Bagmati Province, Nepal. A convenience sample of 400 women aged 30 to 60 years were included in the study.   A semi-structured questionnaire was used to elicit information on VIA test and factors associated with it. Awareness, economic status, socio-psychological beliefs, service availability and accessibility, perception on service providers’ performance were associated with low VIA use in the province. VIA screening was associated with socio-demographic variables (χ2=29.9; df=4; p= <0.001), knowledge factors (χ2=69.29; df=3; p= <0.001) and with the perception on service providers’ performance (χ2=433.82; df=6; p= <0.001). Service providers’ approach during the VIA screening mattered on the acceptance of this service. The disparity was observed in the knowledge of cervical cancer and screening by the women. Based on this,there is a need for massive improvement  on the awareness of the community about the cervical disease and screening services.

Abstract

Undesired and unintended pregnancies increase unwanted births or induced abortions, consequently increasing maternal morbidity and mortality. Postpartum insertion of the Intra Uterine Contraceptive Device (PPIUCD) is an effective method for population control. The authors conducted the study to assess the determinants of PPIUCD services by identifying beneficiaries and healthcare workers' perceptions. We conducted this study in Maharashtra State, India having five geographical divisions and 36 districts. The authors visited 10 Primary Health Centers and three Community Health Centers from five districts, randomly selecting one from each division. We interviewed 45 women who had undergone insertion one day to one year prior and 17 health care workers. About one-third of women received counseling during pregnancy. The medical officers obtained the consents mostly during delivery. They inserted about 85% of devices within one hour of delivery. About 38% of women had at least one complication. Lower abdominal pain (22.22%), irregular bleeding (20.00%), the expulsion of CuT (13.33%), pain during periods (13.33%) were common. The removal rate was 6.67%. The complication rates observed in the present study are comparable to the hospital studies. Thus, the study reassures that the services in small institutions are very safe, and governments can fearlessly implement the program.Keywords: ComplicationsCounselingExpulsionHealth center Quality Removal

Abstract

A lot of misinformation about COVID-19 on social media possibly hinder the practice of healthy behaviors that are essential to protect individuals. This situation is exacerbated by the lack of health literacy in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the influence of social media information exposure on the knowledge and behavior of Indonesians in compliance with COVID-19 protocols. An online survey of 909 people was conducted from July 2nd to August 10th, 2020. The data collected were knowledge and behavior of preventing COVID-19, while independent variables were socio-demographic characteristics and exposure to social media information. Inclusion criteria were defined as follows: minimum age of 18 years and domiciled in the country during the data collection period. The analysis used for the data collected were univariate and multivariate. The result showed that gender, age, marital status, and social media presence significantly affect a person's knowledge about COVID-19 with a p-value of 0.05. Enforcement behavior of health and healthy living protocols is significantly influenced by the respondent’s gender, marital status, education level, the island of residence, and exposure to online information. The frequency of exposure to information affects people's knowledge and behavior to implement health protocols and healthy living in the COVID-19 era, and it is further influenced by socio-demographic characteristics.

Abstract

Functional Health Literacy (FHL) involves skills in writing, reading, oral expression, comprehension, and numerical calculations to successfully function and complete health-related tasks. This study aimed to develop and validate an instrument for measuring FHL in the Philippines using a mixed-method design. FHL-5TEST is an instrument consisting of five questions developed in consultation with local experts, translated to major Philippine languages, and underwent translation analysis, pretesting, cultural adaptation, and validation.. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a random sample of 15-70-year-old Filipino residents to validate the instrument. The FHL-5TEST demonstrated high internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.7690. Across different cut-off values, the sensitivity and specificity of the instrument in detecting limited FHL ranged from 60.9% to 86.0% and from 61.6% to 97.2%, respectively. The study demonstrated that the FHL-5TEST is a valid and reliable instrument to measure functional health literacy in the Philippines.

Abstract

To handle the pandemic of COVID-19, global health authorities are trying to identify factors that influence people’s behavioral patterns to engage in preventive measures. The present study examines the predictors of precautionary behaviors by adopting a socio-emotional-cognitive model of risk perception and provides a descriptive picture of people’s risk perception and precautionary behaviors during COVID19 lockdown in India. This was a cross-sectional online survey study, where data was collected from 203 participants in the age group of 18-67 years from different covid active zones of India using convenient sampling. The descriptive findings indicated that Indians displayed high participation in various precautionary behaviors (e.g., social distancing, washing hands, others) high level of awareness about the disease’s spread and symptoms, and high-risk perception (e.g., high perceived psychological vulnerability, disease severity, & personal impact). The participants also displayed a moderate to high level of worry towards the pandemic, with a moderate level of trust in the government’s ability to fight the pandemic. On the other hand, a significant positive relationship was observed between risk severity, perceived personal risk impact (cognitive factor) and level of anxiety towards pandemic (affective factor) and between the level of awareness (cognitive factor) and engagement in precautionary behaviors. However, only cognitive factors of risk perception (e.g., perceived psychological invulnerability & awareness about the diseases) were found out to be significant predictors for engagement in precautionary behaviors. Therefore, the present study emphasizes how health agencies should focus on creating risk messages that increase people’s estimation of personal risk and awareness towards the virus in order to raise community’s engagement in precautionary behaviors. Keywords: Risk Perception, Precautionary Behaviors, COVID19

Abstract

This study systematically reviewed the existing research on relationship between stress and problematic smartphone use. It aimed to provide an aggregative view of the existing research findings on relationship between stress and problematic smartphone use and how these researches are conducted (i.e., research designs, sampling techniques, sample characteristics, measurement scales, data analysis techniques). A thorough literature research in five bibliographic databases (Taylor & Francis, Wiley, SAGE, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect), Google Scholars, and previous review papers has resulted in 35 studies being included in this review. This review has found that the existing empirical evidence generally demonstrated that i) stress can cause problematic smartphone use; ii) the effect of stress on problematic smartphone use is not straightforward but transmitted by other variables (i.e., mediator), and iii) the effect of stress on problematic smartphone use varies as a function of context or individual differences (i.e., moderator). Finally, following a thorough review of their methodological information, this review has also identified the strengths and limitations of the existing studies on relationship between stress and problematic smartphone use, as well as potential directions of research.

Abstract

The majority of activity among nurses in primary health care in Indonesia is still high for non-productive activities. Non-productive activities are closely related to job dissatisfaction then has an impact on work performance. This study aims to analyze the job satisfaction of nurses in primary health care facilities in Indonesia. This study used a quantitative descriptive design. The research used a cross-sectional approach. The subjects of this study are nurses (N= 226 people) who served in 15 inpatients' primary health care. The sampling technique uses a proportionate simple random sampling technique. Nurse job satisfaction instruments assess context factors and content factors. Nurse job satisfaction on context factor is in a good category by a big responsibility for nurse's work (55.2%), progress in work developed well (63.4%), nurses had the opportunity to achieve achievement (54.5%), nurses get great recognition for performance (58.6%) and feel their work is valuable (65.5%). Job satisfaction was supported by policy indicators, supervision, salary, interpersonal relationships, and good working conditions. On the other hand, nurses' job satisfaction on the content factor still needs to be optimized. This is supported by the job satisfaction of nurses on the indicators of responsibility, achievement, performance recognition that has not reached 60%. Therefore, job satisfaction among nurses in inpatient primary health care was quite good enough but still requires optimization on the content factor.

Abstract

Rising worldwide adolescent smoking necessitates national and global research to establish intervention methods. This research evaluated the efficacies of 5A’s and 3A’s interventions. Self-reported quit-smoking attempts were the outcome measure. Methods: Six villages were randomly selected and equally divided into three groups: 5A’s, 3A’s, and Control (no intervention). Five hundred nineteen current participant-smokers aged 13-17 were followed-up by phone (first and third months) and face-to-face interviews (sixth and ninth months). Most 3A’s participants (n = 12, 7.1%) quitted smoking in the first month, followed by the 5A’s (n = 9, 5.3%) and the Control (n = 3, 1.9%).  In the third month, 5A’s participants topped the rank (n = 16, 10.7%), followed by the 3A’s (n = 14, 9.2%), and Control (n = 5, 3.4%). As per sixth-month follow-up, the 5A’s group maintained its position on top of the list (n = 27, 21.4%), followed by the 3A’s (n = 22, 17.1%) and the Control (n = 5, 4.0%). The majority of 5A’s participants quitted smoking after nine months (n=36, 33.0%), followed by the 3A’s (n = 27, 25.5%), while Control maintained its position (n = 5, 5.0%). 5A intervention prevented adolescent smokers from becoming chronic smokers.
