Abstract

Stigma and discrimination exacerbate the psychological conditions of individuals with mental illness, discouraging them from seeking professional help and complicating their recovery. This stigma can lead to severe consequences, including shackling and suicide. Families who understand the needs of people with mental illness play a crucial role in providing support and accelerating recovery. This qualitative research was conducted in the Puuweri and Weekerou Puskesmas work areas of West Sumba Regency in June 2024, involving 18 participants, including 10 families of individuals with mental illness and 8 community leaders, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection employed interviews, field notes, and sound recordings, following ethical protocols. The study identified significant challenges in mental health management in Sumba, including limited health facilities and medical personnel. External support from health centers, foundations, and traditional healers emerged as vital in assisting families and ensuring proper treatment. Despite reliance on traditional beliefs, these external resources act as crucial bridges for effective care. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for policy development to address mental health challenges in West Sumba, emphasizing the importance of collaborative efforts between families, healthcare providers, and community resources.

Abstract

Martapura River, as one of the main rivers in South Kalimantan Province, plays a vital role in the lives of the people in Banjar Regency. However, many residents still dispose of household waste directly into the river and use floating latrines for bathing, washing, and defecating (MCK), a practice that continues to this day. Misperceptions can trigger behaviors that do not support river preservation and increase pollution. This study aims to analyze the influence of perceptions on community behavior in waste management and MCK activities. The research employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design involving 100 respondents from communities along the Martapura River selected through purposive sampling. Data were statistically analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a 95% confidence level. Result showed that the community perceptions on waste management and MCK (bathing, washing and toilet) activities have a significant influence on their behavior (p-value <0.001).

Abstract

High blood pressure remains a significant non-communicable disease that continues to rise within society. Known as a silent disease, it can lead to complications with other conditions, causing various symptoms and discomfort for sufferers. While numerous pharmacological therapies have been implemented, they often fall short of effectively addressing this condition. Consequently, additional supportive therapies are required, such as Isometric Handgrip Exercise, which is an easy and cost-effective method that can be performed independently without special training. Articles were sourced from ScienceDirect, PubMed, and the Directory of Open Access Journals using advanced search terms like "isometric handgrip exercise, lowering blood pressure, hypertension." A review of five selected articles revealed a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure among hypertension patients following routine Isometric Handgrip Exercise, with a significant p-value of <0.05. In conclusion, Isometric Handgrip Exercise has been demonstrated to effectively lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure when performed consistently every morning over an extended period.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dependent variable of perceptions about HIV/AIDS, influenced by the independent variables of age, gender, residence, education level, internet usage, social media usage, knowledge level, and stigma towards individuals in the community. The bivariate analysis showed that five variables significantly influenced social media usage, including place of residence with a p-value of 0.000*, education level with a p-value of 0.000*, internet use with a p-value of 0.000*, knowledge level with a p-value of 0.000*, and stigma with a p-value of 0.001*. The multivariate analysis revealed the variables influencing social media usage as follows: type of residence (Exp(B)=1.189; 95% CI=1.028-1.376; Sig=0.020*), education level (Exp(B)=4.304; 95% CI=3.819-4.852; Sig=0.000*), internet usage (Exp(B)=4.178; 95% CI=3.875-4.504; Sig=0.000*), knowledge level (Exp(B)=392.480; 95% CI=0.000-0; Sig=0.000*), and stigma (Exp(B)=0.023; 95% CI=0.894-0.978; Sig=0.000*). Adolescents in Indonesia are still vulnerable to misinformation and stigma from social media, influenced by various factors. However, the Chi-Square and logistic regression analyses showed that place of residence, education level, internet use, knowledge level, and stigma are the most significant factors. The hope is that researchers can further explore issues in adolescents' perceptions caused by social media use, beyond just misinformation and stigma. This aims to diversify the variables from the DHS data to reduce the risk of bias in comparison to previous research.

Abstract

Stunting is a long-standing nutritional problem caused by low dietary intake over a long period due to inadequate feeding. Stunting can appear when a child is two years old or earlier. When a person grows up, stunting becomes one of the causes of their lack of productivity. It can also hinder economic growth increase poverty and widen inequality. Therefore, the nutritional intake of pregnant women, the lactation process, the adequacy of breast milk, complementary foods that contain enough nutrients, and how deworming is done for infants and toddlers should be reviewed from the beginning. These are thought to cause stunting. This study aims to determine the relationship between various factors that cause stunting in toddlers in the working area of the Lahihuruk Health Center, West Sumba Regency. This research was conducted in the Lahihuruk Community Health Center Working Area, West Sumba Regency, with a total sample of 60 stunting and healthy toddlers. The results showed that several factors cause stunting in toddlers, including maternal age, history of maternal illness during pregnancy, history of breastfeeding, complementary feeding, parenting history, environmental factors, and socioeconomic status. The results of chi-square analysis obtained a p-value of 0.000 where there is an association between these factors and the incidence of stunting in toddlers. It is hoped that health facilities can conduct home visits, provide additional food for stunted toddlers, and closely evaluate their development.

Abstract

In the world of lectures, the use of computers is very popular among students, because computers help with assignments, search for information, communicate and others. However, if the use of computers is carried out for a long period of time, it will cause tension in the eye muscles, which can cause eye fatigue. Efforts to prevent eye fatigue are by doing eye exercise movements to improve the ability of the nerves and eye muscles. This study aims to analyze the difference in the mean value of eye fatigue between the treatment group and the control group towards reducing the level of eye fatigue in students of the Information Technology Study Program at the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra. This study is an experimental study using a randomized pre-posttest control group design. The study was conducted at the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra. A sample of 30 people was randomly selected to select research subjects. The research subjects numbered 15 people in the treatment group who were given eye gymnastics and 15 people in the control group without being given eye gymnastics. The level of eye fatigue was measured using an eye fatigue questionnaire consisting of 9 questions about symptoms of eye fatigue. Data analysis used a paired t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the mean eye fatigue in the treatment group. The difference test of the pre-test and post-test scores of the two groups also showed that there was a significant difference in scores of 2.13 with a p value of 0.00 in the treatment group (p <0.05), while the p value was 0.15 in the control group (p>0.05). This proves that eye exercise has an effect on reducing the level of eye fatigue in students. It is concluded that eye exercise can reduce the level of eye fatigue in students.
