Abstract

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are not only caused by genetic factors, but it can also be due to behavioral factors, such as low physical activity, unhealthy diet, and lack of knowledge on nutrition and healthy lifestyle. An integrated health post (“pos pembinaan terpadu” abbreviated as posbindu) is a community-based program in Indonesia which aims to reduce the incidence of NCDs by promoting a healthy lifestyle and conducting monthly health screening. However, since the recruitment of the post’s cadres is voluntary, most of them do not have formal education on health and may not be familiar with health screening tools. Thus, improving their knowledge and skills on this subject is critical.Methods: The Kelas MASK project aimed to increase the knowledge and skills of posbindu cadres, especially on the risk, prevention, and basic screening tools for NCDs. The projects consisted of lecture, demonstrations, dan practices. The knowledge and skills on anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and simple biochemical analysis were evaluated based on the score obtained from the pre- and post- tests. Results: The Kelas MASK project increased the cadres’ knowledge, shown by the increase of the average post-test score compared to the pre-test score (increased by 4.03, p-value = 0.0000).Conclusion: All in all, the Kelas MASK project significantly increased the knowledge and skills of posbindu cadres on the prevention of NCDs.

Abstract

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain the leading cause of death in Indonesia, including in Bandung City, where hypertension, heart disease, and stroke are the highest causes of mortality. Recently, the prevalence of NCDs has increased, frequently ranking among the top ten diseases reported in primary healthcare centres in Bandung. Furthermore, the epidemiological trend for NCDs has shifted from predominantly affecting older adults to increasingly affecting the productive age group. However, Indonesia still lacks research on NCD risk factors specifically within the productive age group, including in higher education populations where many individuals in this age group are present.Methods: This study aims to describe NCD risk factors in the productive age group (15-59 years), based on NCD risk factor screening data from the total sampling of 333 students and staff at Universitas Pasundan.Results: According to the data, 42.6% of respondents were in the pre-hypertension category and 5.4% already had hypertension, 36.6% had excessive body mass index (BMI), and 26.1% had central obesity. High blood pressure and central obesity were more prevalent in males, while excessive BMI was more prevalent in females. It was also found that 54.4% of respondents were exposed to cigarette smoke, 52.9% had insufficient physical activity, 49.8% consumed excessive sugar, 58.6% consumed excessive salt, 50.5% consumed excessive fat, and 57.4% had insufficient vegetable and fruit intake. Excessive consumption of sugar, salt, and fat was more prevalent in females.Conclusion: The study found that productive age population has a high risk of developing NCDs. Immidiate interventions are needed especially for at-risk populations, together with bolstering preventive and promotional efforts for those not yet at risk. The university should schedule regular annual screenings targeting a broader and more representative sample.

Abstract

Introduction: Health is fundamental in everyday life; individuals can perform their activities without problems with a healthy body and mind. However, standard health procedures and knowledge might not have been known publicly by everyone without exception. Therefore, in this condition, experts such as academia, nurses, doctors, specialists, and practitioners are essential to educate and introduce basic health knowledge to people, especially those who live in rural areas. The importance of education is unlimited not only in the field of health but also in various and numerous fields of study and sectors; this paper empirically analyzes the importance of community-based education on health quality. Do people with primary education and knowledge have the same health quality as those without? Methods: This paper is qualitative and uses case studies and a literature review. This paper obtains its data through numerous relevant empirical studies and empirical data.Results: This study indicates that most people, especially in rural areas, need more basic health knowledge, explaining why they often use unfiltered river water and eat without washing their hands. Due to the habits the body has repeatedly endured, their health quality doesn’t affect their performance.Conclusion: The analysis does explain that those with primary health knowledge tend to have more capabilities in avoiding disease or common sickness and staying healthy for extended periods compared to those who don’t have basic health knowledge.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the objectives of the third Sustainable Development Goal is to lower the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCD). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the NCDs that remains the primary cause of mortality in Indonesia and the rest of the world. The most common CVD is coronary artery disease (CAD). It is crucial to perform risk factor assessments on individuals to facilitate early intervention and prevention. A simple instrument to stratify the population's CVD risk factor is the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) Risk Score. This study aims to determine the CAD risk stratification through screening using the ASCVD Risk Score in the Sumberadi, Mlati, Sleman, Yogyakarta populations.Methods: A descriptive study screening for CAD was conducted in a population of Sumberadi aged >15 years, especially aged 40-75 years old. The instrument used in this study was the simplified ASCVD Risk Score. The risk factors for CAD, including blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol, were measured with Indonesian-standard instruments. Data was collected by Posbindu cadres with the aid of the research team. Data was analyzed univariately and presented in the form of a descriptive table.Results: This study's sample is mainly female (87%), and the age average is 48.4 ± 9.6 years old. The samples mostly have normal random blood glucose(RBG) levels (82.6%) with a mean of 117.9 ± 55.2 mg/dL. Meanwhile, the total cholesterol level of the samples is mainly normal (51.6%) with a mean of 201.4 ± 40.2 mg/dL. Four samples of people aged>75 years old needed expert consultation. The remaining 403 samples were classified based on the statin requirements (no statin required, moderate-intensity statin, and high-intensity statin). The 148 samples require moderate-intensity statin, and 64 require high-intensity statin.Conclusion: Half of the subjects in this study were included in the statin-required group. And none of them received statin as CAD primary prevention strategy. Most CAD risk factors are conditions that have no symptoms and remain neglected in the population. Therefore, screening CAD risk in the population with simple and easy instruments is still needed to detect individual CAD-risk profiling early. The screening program enables delegates to the Posbindu's cadres who the expertise had trained.
