Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic had a tremendous impact on psychological burdens and may lead to suicide acts. Suicide is a global mental health problem that happens all over the world. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the suicide rates and estimate the category of male-female suicides. This study analyzed suicide data from the Gunungkidul Resort Police from April 2018 to April 2021. Gunungkidul Regency is one area in Indonesia with a high suicide rate. From that time of period, there were about 97 suicide cases as the sample of this study. This article estimated the suicide trend using time series forecasting and Chi-square tests to find potential differences before and after the outbreak. Chi-square analysis showed that there was no difference in the pattern of suicide before and since the COVID-19 pandemic (????2 = 12.05; p > 0.05), as well as the male rates (????2 = 20.17; p > 0.05). However, suicide among females has increased since the outbreak (????2 = 23.43; p < 0.05), especially among the elderly. This article recommended providing a support system, strengthening social networks, and widening the access of women and the elderly to health and psychological services during the pandemic.

Abstract

Overweight and obesity are increasing in Indonesia, and these conditions pose a growing threat to people with non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to show the difference in obesity among respondents who consume snacks compared to respondents who have the habit of eating breakfast with three choices to select from: always, sometimes, or never. This comparison was done to analyze the relationship between breakfast habits and snack consumption. This cross-sectional study collected data using a survey on 26 – 27 November 2021. The sample population included the entire academic community of the Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara, Medan. The sample was determined by an accidental sampling technique. Research instruments were used in the form of questionnaires, microtoise and weight scales to measure the anthropometrics of height and weight. Descriptive data analysis used normality tests and because the data were not normally distributed, the Kendall and Kruskal Wallis tests were done. The results of this study indicated that 38 respondents have overweight status (17.9%), 36 respondents (17.0%) obesity I, 18 respondents (8.5%) obesity II, and 26 respondents (12.3%) underweight. There was no significant difference in obesity among respondents who have the habit of eating breakfast always, sometimes, and never, with p-value of 0.793.There was a significant difference in obesity among respondents who have the habit of eating snacks never, sometimes, and always with a p-value of 0.014. Although snacking can sometimes lead to obesity, generally the fatting types of snacks consumed are cakes and fried foods. In conclusion, limiting snack foods such as cakes and fried foods can reduce obesity. It is recommended to replace the consumption of these snacks with fruits and vegetables.

Abstract

 In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly to all countries, including Indonesia. This problem prompted the government to immediately make efforts to suppress the spread of COVID-19. Public Health Centers are at the front line in breaking the chain of transmission of COVID-19 because they are located in every sub-district and have a regional concept. This research is a participatory observational study and was conducted from July 6 – 31, 2020. Researchers at the same time as volunteers coordinated with the Public Health Centers and evaluated the implementation of COVID-19 Prevention and Control in the Work Area of Kalibaru Kulon Health Center. The evaluation was done based on the guidelines for the Prevention and Control of COVID-19 by analyzing and interpreting the data and developing a descriptive narrative. The results of the evaluation have shown the suitability of the guidelines with the implementation of the rapid test program, screening COVID-19 at check point posts, and ‘Sekolah Tangguh & Pondok Tangguh’. But, there are still some indicators that are not following the guidelines, especially in the implementation of rapid test program and ‘Sekolah Tangguh & Pondok Tangguh’. The conclusion from the evaluation of the implementation of Kalibaru Kulon Health Center program in making efforts to prevent and control COVID-19 is that the implementation of the program has not been optimal when compared to existing guidelines so that more efforts need to be made such as increasing the role of the government as the developer of policies, which is supported by public awareness to realize community independence in the health sector.

Abstract

Dengue fever is a serious human arboviral infection that globally spreads and is a top concern amongst health care professionals and governments including Vietnam. The best measure to prevent and control dengue is vector control which is supported by social mobilization and health education. This study assessed the acceptability of health education programs in dengue fever prevention and control for the first time in Dak Lak Province, which is located in the endemic area of dengue fever in Vietnam. This study was an implementation research with qualitative methods. Nine in-depth interviews and six focus group discussions involving thirty-four informants were conducted at province, district, and ward levels. The acceptability was analyzed based on the seven components of the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability. Thirty-four informants ranging from ages 26 to 54 years participated. All belonged to the delivering or receiving groups of the health education program. The years of experience of the delivering group were at least two years with the health education program in dengue prevention and control and all individuals in the receiving group participated in the program. Six components, namely affective attitude, perceived effectiveness, intervention coherence, ethicality, and self-efficacy, were coded in all transcripts. Meanwhile, none of the interviews mentioned the opportunity cost. Overall, the acceptability of the health education program in dengue fever prevention and control was considered to be positive. However, the transformation from education to behavior requires time for acceptance and the persistence of the education program. Besides, the major burden of the program was the limited budget that could lead to inadequate facilities for indirect communication and low human resources.

Abstract

The younger age of fathers will affect the pattern of relationship between fathers and their children, particularly in terms of nutrition provision of children under five years. The objective of this study was to identify and measure the correlation between the pattern of relationship between fathers and their children and nutritional status in Jember Regency of Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from September to December 2019. The participants were 39 young fathers aged 17-19 years who have an infant aged 0-5 years. They were recruited using total sampling technique. Respondents’ characteristics and child-parent relationships were measured using a questionnaire. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the data. Among the 39 young fathers, the young father and children relationship was high (56.4%). Meanwhile, the nutritional status of children was good (48.7%). Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the pattern of father-child relationship and nutritional status among the children (χ2= 11.83; p<0.001). The higher the pattern of father-child relationship, the better was the nutrition of the children (OR= 12.0; 95% CI= 2.5-57.4). The father-child relationship pattern is related to children’s nutritional status. Therefore, the fatherchild relationship should be well-maintained to fulfill the nutrition needs of under-five children.

Abstract

In response to concerns in the general public due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, Universitas Gadjah Mada established a COVID-19 call center with the aid of volunteers. This study aims to describe the experience of developing and implementing an emergency volunteer-based call center addressing questions on COVID-19 by a higher academic institution along with the frequency and characteristics of the received calls in 2020. This descriptive observational study was conducted using secondary data to describe the implementation of a call center on COVID-19 at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) between March and December 2020. Data were collected from organization documents and the caller response database. The data were analyzed descriptively. The development process included system development, volunteer recruitment, online training, and implementation. The volunteers logged a total of 150 calls during the 10-month study period. The highest frequency of calls was in March 2020 with 35 calls and the lowest was in August 2020 with only 3 calls. The majority of callers were from Yogyakarta and members of the UGM community. The main issues raised by callers were people seeking general information regarding COVID-19, recommendations regarding their health status, government and university policy related concerns, and logistics. Tele-outreach is a beneficial method to address public distress during a global pandemic, which could be managed with the aid of trained volunteers.

Abstract

Child abuse (CA) is a serious problem and difficult to detect. According to World Health Organization, CA is responsible for 950,000 deaths of children. Many various cultural norms may affect CA. This research aims to determine the cultural perceptions of child abuse in terms of parents in Indonesia. A qualitative study using focus group discussions (FGDs) was conducted with 31 parents who were selected purposively. The FGDs centered on the CA definition, classification, frequency, level of CA (mild, moderate, and severe), and the difference between violence and discipline. The FGDs were divided into three groups based on level of education completeed: elementary and junior high school, senior high school, and bachelor’s degree. The process of the FGDs was recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using manifest qualitative content analysis. This study was conducted from December 2018 to April 2019 in Pamekaran, Soreang Bandung. Every culture in Indonesia perceived that CA is a form of parents’ emotion that could injure children physically and mentally. Indonesian cultures were not familiar with neglect and exploitation. Participants’ opinions regarding level of violence can be categorized as severe if leaving wounds, and needing to be hospitalized. The parents assumed there was CA if it occurred more than twice and/or leaving marks. The discipline purpose is not to mistreat, but for protecting their children’s life, building characters, and educating the children. In conclusion, a cultural perception of parents about CA is a form of parents’ emotion which leads to injury of children physically and mentally.
