Abstract

Abstract Background: The older population in Bangladesh is growing rapidly, from 8.0% in 2020 to 22.0% in 2050. However, the determinants of active aging are scarcely known. Objective: The study aimed to assess the determinants influencing the active aging situation in Bangladesh. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 518 older adults aged 60 years and over. Following the WHO active aging model, the respondents’ socio-demographic, personal, behavioral, and physical environment and health and social services characteristics were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was performed to determine the determinants, followed by the bivariate level of analysis. Results: The determinants of active aging were deeply rooted in the respondents' socio-cultural, economic, and spatial conditions. Nine out of 23 determinants, like marital status, income, decision-making capacity, regular walking/physical exercise, smokeless tobacco consumption, newspaper reading as a leisure activity, use of medicine, and health service accessibility, significantly influence active aging. The active aging score was 10-15% higher among the respondents who regularly adhered to the above determinants. Conclusion: Effective initiatives are needed to improve the socio-cultural, economic, and health system-related determinants of active aging to enhance the active aging situation. Concerned bodies of the country, ministries, departments, and development partners should take appropriate measures to increase awareness and the participation of people in lifestyle-related determinants to improve the active aging situation in the country.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Backgound: The increasing prevalence of HBV infection in Benue State, especially among young adults has called for public health concern. This study, therefore, assessed knowledge and practice of HBV infection prevention among young adults (18 – 35 years) in North-East Senatorial District of Benue State, Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional resesrch design was used, and a sample size of 440 was drawn from a population of 404,270 young adults. A researcher-developed questionnaire (KAP-HBVIPQ) with reliability coefficients of 0.85 and 0.74 for knowledge and practice, respectively, was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics were used to describe sociodemographic characterisics and to analyse responses on knowledge and practice items. Pearson chi-square statistics was used to test for association between knowledge/practice of HBV infection prevention and sociodemographic characteristics. Significant associations were declared at P < .05. Results: The overall knowledge regarding HBV infection prevention was poor as more than half (53.6%) of the participants scored below 50% on knowledge items. Practice of HBV infection prevention was fair as almost half (49.9%) of the participants scored from 50 – 69% on practice items. Good knowledge/practice of HBV infection prevention was significantly associated with being a female, being of older age (30 – 35 years), acquiring tertiary education,and having a family member infected with HBV (P < .05). Conclusion: Young adults’ knowledge of HBV infection prevention was poor, while their practice was fair but not encouraging. Therefore, the Benue State Government in collaboration with Local Government Authorities and NGOs in Benue North-East should step up public health education activities on HBV infection prevention, targeting mostly young adults with no or low level of education.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is one of the non-communicable diseases with the highest mortality rate in the world. Hemorrhagic stroke is a type of stroke caused by a rupture of blood vessels in the brain that can threaten the lives of patients. Mortality and morbidity caused by hemorrhagic stroke are higher than ischemic stroke. This study aims to determine what risk factors cause hemorrhagic stroke. Methods: This study is a quantitative analytical study with a case-control study design conducted at Banyumas Regional Hospital. The study sample consisted of 100 case samples of hemorrhagic stroke patients and 100 control samples of ischemic stroke patients using random sampling techniques. This study was conducted in September-October 2024. The variables studied were age, gender, ancestry, history of hypertension, history of DM, dyslipidemia, smoking habits, diet, physical activity, obesity, and control compliance. The research data consisted of secondary data obtained from the medical records section of Banyumas Regional Hospital and primary data obtained through interviews using questionnaires. Data analysis used SPSS 23 software with univariate tests, bivariate with chi-square, and multivariate with logistic regression to calculate the odds ratio (OR). Results: The average age of the study respondents was 57.4 years and female. Variables that influenced the incidence of hemorrhagic stroke were non-compliance with control (p-value 0.000 and OR of 4.869), history of hypertension (p-value 0.004 and OR of 3.110), and poor diet (p-value 0.015 and OR of 2.204). Variables that did not influence were age, gender, heredity, history of DM, dyslipidemia, smoking habits, physical activity, and obesity. Conclusions: Patients who have a history of hypertension, poor diet, and are not compliant with medication controls are at greater risk of suffering from hemorrhagic stroke.

In carrying out this function, the role of leadership is a key factor that influences the effectiveness and efficiency of services. Strong and effective leadership in Community Health Centers could encourage the achievement of organizational goals, such as increasing service accessibility, reducing morbidity and mortality rates, and also increasing patient satisfaction. This study aims to examine how the role and style of leadership in Community Health Centers can affect the quality of health services provided. Methods: A systemic literature review was conducted of the published articles in 2015-2025. Published articles included journals, papers and issue briefs. The determination of the article is based on the purpose of writing, namely to determine the influence and various leadership styles on improving the quality of services at the Community Health Center. Results: The influence of a good leadership role not only affects the performance of health center officers, but also has a positive effect on patient satisfaction with a health service, the improvement of the quality of services, the competence and also the infrastructure. Various leadership styles can be optimally adjusted to different leaders and health center conditions. Conclusions: Leadership has a very important influence on improving the quality of services in the Health Center, where it can be assessed from the improvement of the performance of health workers in the Health Center, patient satisfaction and also the quality of health center services. There are also various leadership styles, but a good leadership style is a flexible one that it could be adjusted to the situation and conditions in the health center.

Abstract

Abstract Background Low levels of women’s decision-making over control of sexual intercourse, contraceptive use, domestic violence with intimate partners not only have impact on socioeconomic and cultural aspects but also on unintended pregnancies. Which create serious public health issues associated with physical, reproductive and mental health consequences. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore the predictors of unintended pregnancy among socio-demographic factors, contraceptive use, family planning methods, media exposure etc. among Indian women. State-wise prevalence of unintended pregnancies was also investigated to see which states need more attention Methods A total of 32428 married women aged between 15-49 years, who responded on current pregnancy wanted were observed in NFHS-IV (2015-16) survey data. Out of these, 3,842 were found eligible for this study. Logistic regressions were used for analysis using SPSS23 software. Results The mean age of 3,842 women respondents was 25.27 ± 4.97 years. 12.3% of them were unintended pregnancies. Women aged between 25-34 years (OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.99-1.48) and 35-49 years (OR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.02-2.21) were more likely to have an unintended pregnancy than 15–24 years. Working women were 7% (OR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.73-1.18) less likely to have an unintended pregnancy than not working. Women who never used contraception were 1.4 times more likely to have an unintended pregnancy. Conclusions Sociodemographic disparities need to be addressed to promote reproductive health and welfare services. Preventing physical violence by intimate partners against women could reduce unintended pregnancy. Key messages Improving women’s status through educational and occupational initiatives could contribute to reducing physical violence and the incidence of unintended pregnancies Keywords: Unintended Pregnancy, Women, NFHS-IV, India

Abstract

The article 28H of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia stipulates that health is a fundamental human right and a key element of national welfare that must be realized in accordance with the ideals of the Indonesian nation, without exception. At present, the National Health Insurance (JKN) coverage in Papua Province has reached approximately 1.3 million individuals out of a total population of 1.5 million. The JKN participation rate among the indigenous Papuan population (Orang Asli Papua, OAP) in Jayapura Regency is recorded at 76%, comprising 50% OAP originating from outside Jayapura Regency and 20–25% representing local clans within Jayapura Regency. This study employed a descriptive quantitative research design, involving a sample of 531 respondents selected through simple random sampling. The findings reveal that 87.94% of the OAP community possesses JKN membership. The types of health insurance held by OAP respondents are distributed as follows: 78.53% under JKN, 6.59% under the Papua Health Card (Kartu Papua Sehat, KPS), and 14.87% under other schemes such as Regional Health Insurance (Jamkesda) and Maternity Insurance (Jampersal). Furthermore, 53.11% of OAP respondents reported having been JKN members for one year or less. With regard to service utilization, 43.12% of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of healthcare services received, whereas 74.95% indicated that the administrative process for obtaining JKN membership was straightforward. In terms of perceived fairness, 75.14% of the respondents believed that the distribution of JKN and KPS memberships was equitable. Conclusion: The ownership rate of National Health Insurance (JKN) among the OAP population is relatively high. JKN membership, predominantly through BPJS Kesehatan, constitutes the main form of health insurance ownership, with the majority of participants having enrolled within the past year. Although nearly half of the OAP community reported dissatisfaction with the healthcare services received, the administrative processes associated with JKN enrollment were generally perceived as accessible. Moreover, the majority of respondents considered the distribution of JKN and KPS memberships to have been conducted fairly.
