Abstract

According to Southeast Asian rotavirus surveillance statistics from 2008 to 2018, rotavirus infection was responsible for 40.78% of all diarrhea cases. Rotavirus-induced acute diarrhea is a significant cause of illness and mortality among children under five in Southeast Asia. According to efficacy studies, the rotavirus vaccine can offer heterotypic protection against different genotypes and lower the incidence of diarrhea and death even in cases where vaccination is insufficient. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of how Southeast Asian nations react to the rotavirus vaccine. The method used in this study was a nonsystematic review conducted according to gathering literature based on the keywords “rotavirus vaccine acceptance”. Literature chosen from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Similar difficulties were encountered when delivering the rotavirus vaccination to the general public in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. These barriers include public skepticism over the RV vaccine's efficacy, safety, and halal status (in accordance with Islamic sharia law), as well as the vaccine's high cost before its implementation as a national vaccination program, particularly in nations that do not adhere to GAVI regulations. The public in several Southeast Asian countries has not fully embraced the rotavirus vaccination, particularly in the early stages of its introduction, according to an analysis of seven papers.

Abstract

The proportion of elderly individuals in Indonesia is increasing and is projected to reach 19.9% by 2045. This growing elderly population may become a burden on families and communities if the elderly are not in optimal physical, psychological, social, and economic health. Health, social, and economic challenges can impact the psychological well-being of the elderly, leading to mental health issues among them. Public health centers are primary health facilities that serve elderly individuals directly. Therefore, it is essential for healthcare workers at public health centers to have the knowledge necessary to detect early mental health issues in the elderly to enable effective mental health service management, with the involvement of families and communities. This study employed a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The respondents were 40 healthcare workers from Trawas public health center in Mojokerto, East Java, Indonesia. Their knowledge of elderly mental health was assessed using a 10-question questionnaire administered before and after a health education intervention. The health education covered mental health issues in the elderly, early detection of mental health problems in the elderly, and the roles of family, community health volunteers, and public health center staff in providing mental health services for the elderly. The healthcare workers’ knowledge of elderly mental health had a median score of 5.5 (range: 3-7) before the health education intervention and 8 (range: 6-9) after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of <0.001, indicating a significant difference in knowledge levels before and after the health education intervention. In conclusion, health education effectively enhances public health center healthcare workers' knowledge of mental health in the elderly.

Abstract

Pregnant women with chronic energy shortage face an elevated risk of sudden maternal mortality during the perinatal period and the likelihood of delivering infants with low birth weight, who may subsequently encounter growth issues in early childhood. This study aimed to examine the relationship between extra feeding and the nutritional status of pregnant women and children. This was a cross-sectional correlational analytical design. The study population comprised pregnant mothers and children registered at two designated health centers in Tuban. The health center was selected based on local health data indicating a high prevalence of undernutrition among toddlers and chronic energy insufficiency among pregnant women. The sample was drawn using purposive sampling methods grounded in specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The group consisted entirely of pregnant women suffering from chronic energy shortage. The study sample comprised 30 pregnant women with chronic energy deficit. The population of the Local Supplementary Feeding (PMT) Lokal program consisted entirely of undernourished toddlers. The sample comprised 86 malnourished babies from the vicinity of the Wire Health Center. Data analysis will be conducted at a significance level of 0.05, using Spearman's rank correlation and the contingency coefficient. This study identified a strong association (p=0.010) between pregnant women’s adherence to supplementary feeding programs and increased upper arm circumference. A strong connection (p=0.000) was identified between the provision of supplemental meals to undernourished toddlers and their nutritional status. Supplementary food shows a minimal association with improved nutritional status in undernourished toddlers and pregnant women, as indicated by increased upper-arm circumference among those with chronic energy shortage. Researchers will conduct further studies to identify the underlying cause of the supplementary meal program's inefficacy in improving nutritional status over the three months.

Abstract

Studies have shown inconsistent effects of conflict on children’s nutritional status. Cross-border and internal conflicts may harm children’s well-being more than in stable regions. This analysis examines the relationship between conflict zones, undernutrition as measured by the Composite Index of Anthropometry Failure (CIAF), and anaemia in Cameroon. The study used Cameroon’s 2018 Demographic and Health Survey (CDHS), sampling 4,498 children under five with complete anthropometry data. We performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis to test the association of conflicts, food insecurity (FI), and other covariates with undernutrition and anaemia. In univariate analyses, rural residence, living in conflict zones, water/sanitation deprivation, and lack of maternal education were associated with undernutrition, while female sex and household wealth were protective. In multivariate analyses, residing in a conflict area was significantly associated with undernutrition (OR=1.7; 95% CI: 1.4-2.0), whereas female sex remained protective against undernutrition (OR=0.7; 95% CI: 0.6-0.9). Increasing household wealth was associated with lower rates of undernutrition (OR=0.3; 95% CI: 0.2-0.5) and anaemia (OR=0.6; 95% CI: 0.4-0.8). Higher maternal education remained protective against undernutrition (OR=0.8; 95% CI: 0.6-0.9) and anaemia (OR=0.6; 95% CI: 0.5-0.8), and increasing childhood age reduced the odds of anaemia (OR=0.7; 95% CI: 0.6-0.9). Living in a household with unimproved/surface water increased the odds of anaemia (OR=1.3; 95% CI: 1.1-1.5). Food insecurity was not associated with undernutrition or anaemia. Living in a conflict zone adversely impacts the nutritional status of children in Cameroon. These findings highlight the need for nutrition- focused interventions in conflict-affected areas.

Abstract

Tuberculosis remains a major public health concern, necessitating effective infection prevention and control practices among healthcare workers, especially in high-burden areas. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and practice of Tuberculosis Infection Prevention and Control (TBIPC) among primary healthcare workers in primary healthcare facilities across selected Local Government Areas in Sokoto, Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 155 primary healthcare workers selected using a multistage sampling technique. Data were collected using a set of pretested, interviewer-administered questionnaires via Open Data Kit (ODK). The questionnaire assessed respondents' knowledge and practice of TBIPC. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics, such as frequencies and proportions for categorical variables, as well as means and standard deviations for continuous variables, were obtained. Pearson’s chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used to determine the factors associated with TBIPC practice among the study participants. The mean age of respondents was 31.29 ± 8.90 years, and the dominant age group was 20–29-year-olds, constituting 43.9% of respondents. The majority (96.1%) had poor knowledge, and only 13.5% had good practice regarding TBIPC. More than one-third (31.4%) of trained respondents demonstrated good practice, compared with 4.2% of untrained respondents (p < 0.001). Similarly, those with good knowledge of TBIPC were more likely to have good TBIPC practice (15.7% vs 5.9%). TBIPC knowledge and practice among PHC workers were poor, and both training and knowledge were significantly associated with better practice.

Abstract

Every pregnancy and childbirth is unique. Although all three phases of maternal care are equally significant, the postnatal phase is the least well supported, with greater emphasis and resources placed on the antenatal and intrapartum periods. The primary purpose of optimal postnatal care is to prevent long-term complications and reduce maternal and neonatal mortality. This study assesses all twelve WHO-recommended postnatal care components under a single framework and examines the sociodemographic factors influencing their utilization. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among postnatal mothers in a rural block of Tamil Nadu, India. A total of 220 postnatal mothers were selected through multistage random sampling and interviewed using a pretested semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analysed using SPSS version 22. The chi-square test was used to compare proportions for categorical variables. Among the twelve recommendations, the proportions of women who stayed in healthcare facilities after delivery (100%) and who received postnatal examinations (97.3%) were satisfactory. However, intake of iron and folic acid during the postpartum period (86.4%), adoption of contraception (56.4%), and practice of postnatal exercises (15%) were considerably low. Maternal education and socioeconomic status were significantly associated with knowledge related to breastfeeding and postnatal iron and folic acid intake. Continuity of care from the antenatal to postnatal period is crucial yet limited. High-quality postnatal care should emphasize continuity, trust-building, consistent information, and recognition of women’s personal and cultural contexts.

Abstract

Village Lempake is a densely populated area experiencing water source pollution; therefore, the provision and management of clean water require careful consideration. This study aimed to determine the types of water sources used, assess clean water management practices, and evaluate water quality in Lempake Tengah Urban Village. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, involving the distribution of questionnaires and laboratory examination of water quality using iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) parameters. The sample comprised 150 respondents to assess water management practices, and one water sample was collected from RT 8 for laboratory analysis. The results showed that 83% of the community used PDAM water as their primary source, 14% relied on drilled wells, 2% used dug wells, and 1% utilized mountain water sources. In terms of management practices, 81% of the community demonstrated good water management, while 19% were categorized as fair. Laboratory examination indicated that Fe levels met the established quality standard, with concentrations below 0.034 mg/L. However, Mn levels exceeded the allowable limit, with a measured concentration of 0.112 mg/L. Overall, PDAM water was the community's primary source, and water management practices were generally good. Water quality met the Fe standard but did not meet the required Mn standard. Future research is recommended to expand sampling coverage, and the community is encouraged to further improve clean water management practices.

Abstract

Uterine prolapse, a subtype of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), is characterized by the descent of the uterus into the vaginal canal due to weakening of pelvic floor support and connective tissues. Globally, POP affects approximately 2–20% of women, with higher prevalence reported in low- and middle-income countries, and uterine prolapse remains a significant contributor to morbidity among multiparous and postmenopausal women. Although not life-threatening, this condition substantially impairs quality of life through sexual dysfunction, urinary and bowel symptoms, and significant psychological distress. The purpose of this literature review is to summarize and analyze risk factors for uterine prolapse, with an emphasis on obstetric, biological, sociodemographic, and lifestyle factors consistently reported in recent research. A literature search was conducted using Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, and relevant articles published between 2018 and 2024 were identified, using keywords such as "pelvic organ prolapse," "uterine prolapse," and "risk factor." The findings indicate that multiparity, vaginal delivery, advancing age, menopause, obesity, and heavy physical workload are the most reported risk factors. Furthermore, chronic increases in intra-abdominal pressure and genetic predisposition have also been identified as contributing factors in several studies. Understanding these multifactorial determinants is essential for healthcare providers to implement early prevention measures, provide better patient education, and improve the overall management of uterine prolapse, thereby enhancing the wellbeing of affected women across various clinical settings.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in endemic areas. Early prevention and intervention efforts are essential to reduce incidence and transmission. This community service program aimed to enhance community health cadres' knowledge of DHF infection and strengthen the Rapid Response Team's (TGC) role in early detection and rapid response systems. Pre-test results showed that 96.3% of participants understood the basic context of DHF, including transmission and prevention through the 3M Plus mosquito nest eradication program. However, some participants lacked a comprehensive understanding of the TGC concept, including organizational structure, primary duties, and coordination flow with primary health centers or health departments. Following an interactive education and training session, post-test results showed a significant improvement, with 100% of participants demonstrating a sound understanding of the TGC’s role and function. This improvement indicates that participatory educational activities can effectively enhance community health literacy. This community service is expected to be a stepping stone toward developing a swift reporting system, strengthening DHF handling SOP implementation, and increasing community preparedness to face potential outbreaks in their respective areas.

Abstract

HIV and or TB-related stigma frequently discourages people from seeking healthcare, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and poor health outcomes. The aim of this study is to analyze cadres' knowledge and attitudes regarding diseases to eliminate stigma in their community. Thirty health cadres in a primary healthcare setting in Surabaya were recruited as participants after getting informed consent. Participants were trained in the transmission, prevention, and treatment of diseases, followed by a role-play and a Focus Group Discussion. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess cadres' knowledge and attitudes. After the intervention, understanding of HIV and TB among cadres increased significantly (p < 0.001), from pre-test scores of 82.7 ± 17.9 (HIV) and 81.1 ± 6.6 (TB) to 95.7 ± 4.9 (post-HIV test) and 89.3 ± 10.5 (post-TB test). After interventions, cadres understand that HIV transmission can occur from mother to fetus, during childbirth, and through breast milk; and that HIV is not transmitted through air, water, eating utensils, toilet seats, sweat, tears, shaking hands, and hugging. They also understand that most TB patients are no longer contagious after 2 months of treatment and can be cured after 6 months. In the focus group discussion, cadres shared about cases of stigma and discrimination that they had encountered. Finally, together with primary healthcare, they plan to disseminate these results within their community through various activities (sub-district, district, and school) to stop stigma and discrimination.
