Abstract

Background: International Diabetes Federation (IDF) data shows that the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus worldwide is still happening and is a significant global health challenge. Patients with diabetes mellitus tend to have a poorer quality of life than those without a chronic disease. This study aims to obtain an overview of the quality of life of patients with diabetes mellitus. Method: This research was a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach, conducted in July–October 2021 at one of the Chronic Disease Management Program Communities (Prolanis) in Bantul District, Yogyakarta. The total participants of this study were 63 patients with diabetes mellitus who were registered in the Prolanis community; they did not show mental disorders and were willing to participate in the study. We used purposive sampling to recruit the participants. Researchers used the WHOQOL-BRIEF questionnaire that has been standardized and created by WHO. Other variables recorded in this study include eating patterns and socio-demographic characteristics. A descriptive analysis was conducted to present the results in tables and graphs. Results: Most participants were elderly (over 50 years old), had a high level of education, had good religious spirituality, were in marital status, and had no comorbidity. Patients with diabetes mellitus in the Prolanis group had a good quality of life and level of life satisfaction. The description of the participants' eating patterns was also good, where none of them consumed instant food anymore, and all consumed a variety of fruits and vegetables regularly. Conclusion: This study showed the quality and satisfaction of life and a good diet in patients with diabetes mellitus in the Prolanis Community. Therefore, it is necessary to advance the Prolanis community to maintain the quality of life, life satisfaction, and lifestyle of patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Mental health is essential to achieving a comprehensive degree of health, but it has not become a top priority in some developing countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for people to access physical and mental health services. The situation of this pandemic pushes WHO and mental health services as an integral component of the condition. Only a third of healthcare providers in the United States can receive standardized mental health care. In developing countries with low and middle incomes, 75% more people experience neurological disorders, mental disorders, and addictive substance abuse. The prevalence of patients affected by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is around 4-41%, and the prevalence of major depression due to the epidemic - increased by 7%. Unfortunately, of those with mental disorders, only a tiny percentage get proper treatment.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has implemented programs to reduce stunting by targeting several groups, including: pregnant and maternity mothers, toddlers, school-age children, adolescents, and young adults. The actions include interventions and efforts to increase knowledge among the related subject – mostly among women. These efforts must still have been carried out until recently. However, along with the development of the digital era, stunting prevention needs to involve technology as an innovation to predict the possibility of a toddler becoming stunted in the future when their intake is insufficient.

Abstract

Background: Health education materials are intended to percolate certain messages to the general population in order to influence their knowledge and attitude toward health issues. The current study aims to determine the effectiveness of health education materials in terms of visibility, attractiveness, and clarity of message perceived by the study participants. Method: A cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted in the immunization clinic of a tertiary care hospital in West Bengal, India, upon 32 caregivers accompanying the children for immunization. Their explanation of the posters was recorded, transcribed, and translated into English. Results were obtained by analyzing data in both MS Excel and Visual Anthropac. Results: Out of 20 displayed posters, 12 were mostly situated around the vaccination table and had a pictorial presentation with child images. Those posters were first noticed by the participants while waiting. After the pile sorting of 10 attractive posters, four were related to child health, four were about nutrition and breastfeeding, and 2 were included under the personal hygiene group. Only a single poster associated with Vitamin A oil was fully understood by all respondents. A total of 6 posters were fully or partially understood by more than 80% of the respondents, whereas 3 posters related to personal hygiene were wrongly interpreted. Conclusion: The health education materials in the immunization clinic may be planned in clear pictorial presentation with less text, so those could be noticed easily and accompanied with audiovisual aids for understanding correctly.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 pandemic is a global problem. One of the risk factors for COVID-19 is close contact, which has a greater risk of being confirmed because virus transmission generally occurs directly through droplets. Based on regional risk zoning mapping, Purwakarta District is categorized as a moderate risk zone, and most of the confirmed cases are caused by a history of close contact. Still, people with a history of close contact only sometimes become established patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship between close contact status and the incidence of COVID-19 in the Purwakarta district year 2020. Method: This study used observational analysis and a cross-sectional study design. The research data is secondary data from the Purwakarta Regency Health Office. Purposive sampling was used to select 2,650 people for the study. The data analysis method used is chi-square. Results: According to the respondents' characteristics, most are in their early adulthood (26.8 %) and male (52.3 %). According to bivariate analysis, there is a p-value = 0.002 relationship between close contact status and the incidence of COVID-19. People with close contact status are 1.040 times more likely than people who do not have close contact status to get COVID-19 (95 % CI = 1.013-1.069). Conclusion: Close contact status is a risk factor for COVID-19 transmission in Purwakarta Regency during 2020.

Abstract

Backgrounds: Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are still one of the causes of high incidence and death rates in people of various age groups, especially adolescents with poor lifestyles and health behaviors due to a lack of awareness to prevent NCDs from an early age. This study aimed to analyze adolescents health behavior of adolescents aged 15-24 years toward risk factors for non-communicable diseases based on the RISKESDAS results of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Methods: This research is a quantitative descriptive study using secondary data to analyze the health behavior of adolescents aged 15-24 towards risk factors for non-communicable disease behavior based on data collected from RISKESDAS data for the Special Region of Yogyakarta in 2007, 2013, and 2018. Data analysis was carried out descriptively for each risk factor and presented as a percentage chart. Results: The research shows that the risk factors for smoking every day and occasionally have decreased from 2007 to 2018. There has been an increase in the awareness of consuming fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, there was an increase in alcohol consumption in 2018 and a decrease in doing sufficient physical activity for one week in adolescents aged 15-24 years in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Conclusion: It can be concluded that risk factors for health behavior related to non-communicable diseases in adolescents are still caused by a lack of physical activity and the large number of adolescents who consume alcohol.

Abstract

Background: Anopheles maculatus is one of the mosquito species that has been confirmed as a malaria vector in Indonesia. The potential of a mosquito as a vector is influenced by its behavior. Information on the distribution and behavior of An. maculatus needs to be carried out to determine the potential for malaria transmission transmitted by the species in an area. The study aimed to obtain information on the distribution, behavior, and potential of maculatus as a malaria vector in several provinces in Indonesia. Method: Mosquito collection was carried out using human-landing collection, animal-baited trap, cattle-bait, light-trap, and resting morning. A survey of mosquitoes was carried out in 29 provinces in Indonesia. Mosquitoes were identified for the species and detected the blood-sucking behavior with an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the presence of Plasmodium using a Polymerase Chain Reaction. Results: The results showed that An. maculatus was found in the Riau Islands, Lampung, Bangka Belitung, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Central Sulawesi. Anopheles maculatus has known to suck the blood of humans and animals with a predominance of animals. Anopheles maculatus is also known to suck blood outdoors predominantly. In general, the activity of An. maculatus sucking blood begins around 18.00 in the evening. Central Java Province was the province with the highest density of An. maculatus mosquitoes, thereby increasing the potential for transmission of malaria cases. Conclusion: Anopheles maculatus was spread in Riau Islands, Lampung, Bangka Belitung, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Central Sulawesi. This species was known to suck the blood of people and humans, and its blood-sucking activity starts around 18.00 in the evening.
