Abstract

The percentage of adolescents who have actively engaged in sexual behavior before marriage is 4.92%. Adolescents living in rural areas are more likely to be exposed to risky behavior than those who live in urban areas. This study aims to identify the factors that influence risky sexual behavior among adolescents in rural areas. This study used a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected using in-depth interview techniques on 12 participants consisting of 7 adolescents and 5 parents in rural areas. The samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The validity of the data was carried out using source triangulation and peer debriefing. The thematic analysis was carried out using Open code 4.03 software. This study showed that perception is a factor that can influence adolescents to engage in risky sexual behavior. It includes perceptions of risky sexual behavior such as dating, the definition of risky sexual behavior, risk factors, sexual relationships, and sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, adolescents' perceptions of risky sexual behavior in health, psychology, education, and the future are also the factors that influence risky sexual behavior. Apart from the perception, other factors include discomfort feeling at home, sexual experience, the influence of social media, the influence of friends, love from partners, and environmental influences. Based on our results, the better the adolescent's perception of risky sexual behavior is, the lower the risk of adolescents engaging in risky behavior will be.

Abstract

Many experts agree and believe that the COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to control the COVID-19 pandemic in a sustainable manner. Each type of vaccine has different side effects and effectiveness. Meanwhile, information regarding the relationship between the type of COVID-19 vaccines and side effects in real populations, especially in Indonesia, is still limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between COVID-19 post-vaccination side effects and COVID-19 vaccine type. From April to June 2022, a cross-sectional quantitative study will be conducted in Bekasi City, West Java, Indonesia. The population consists of all 1,885,014 residents of Bekasi City who have received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccination. The samples obtained were 428 respondents from online surveys employing a purposive sampling technique. Among 428 participants, there were 50.50% received Inactivated Virus (Sinovac/Sinopharm), 23.80% Viral Vector (AstraZeneca), and 25.70% mRNA (Moderna/Pfizer-BioNTech). The adjusted analysis showed a significant correlation between the type of viral vector vaccine (OR: 26.60; 95% CI: 11.04-64.30) and the type of mRNA vaccine (OR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.17-3.04) with side effects of COVID-19 vaccination. There was a correlation between the type of vaccines with side effects after controlled variables of sex and history of infection.

Abstract

Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by a decrease in skeletal muscle mass and function due to aging. This study aims to assess the prevalence and associated factors of sarcopenia among the elderly in the Pekanbaru. 275 samples were selected using cluster sampling technique. The independent variables were socio-demographic characteristics, metabolic syndrome, independence level, physical activity, quality of life, depression, and nutritional status. Meanwhile, the dependent variable was sarcopenia. Data analysis was carried out through SPSS using statistical tests including descriptive statistics, chi-square, and multivariate logistic regression. The results show that 45.5% of the participants experienced sarcopenia. The mean age of participants was 63.3 years old; most were female; 90.2% were married; and 39.3% had moderate quality of life. The education level was mostly high school; 69.1% were not working; 72% did not experience metabolic syndrome; and 78.5% had normal nutritional status. Gender, education, metabolic syndrome, independence level, physical activity, quality of life, nutrition, marital, depression, and occupational status are associated with sarcopenia. The most significant variables for sarcopenia in the elderly were nutritional status (p=0.031) and physical activity (p= 0.016). Nutritional status and physical activity were predictors of sarcopenia. Posyandu, or integrated service post, for the elderly in the public health center, needs to be optimized which requires continuous collaboration among the doctors, nurses, nutritionists, social workers, physiotherapists, psychologists, families, religious institutions, and community shops. Furthermore, a treatment program needs to be developed, both in the community and in the health services area.

Abstract

Tobacco kills up to half of its users, and smoking prevalence and tobacco exposure among Indonesian youth are increasing. A comprehensive ban on Tobacco Advertising, Promotion, and Sponsorship (TAPS) is a recommended tobacco control measure. Thus, this study aimed to analyze and compare political economy factors that contribute to the effectiveness of the TAPS ban implementation in Surabaya and Kulon Progo.  In-depth interviews and a focus group discussion were conducted, recorded, transcribed, then analyzed using thematic analysis. We find that the role of local government was pivotal in creating and implementing regulations for tobacco control, while the leaders’ will and capability were also essential. However, the COVID-19 pandemic had limited all tobacco control measures in both studied districts. Furthermore, the lack of political will and low support from the political parties are the several factors hindering tobacco control measures at the district level, including TAPS ban enforcement. We also find that there is a need to strengthen the understanding of local government, society, and other related stakeholders toward the urgency of the TAPS ban. Further studies calculating the impact of the total TAPS ban on local revenue and the potential benefit of a total TAPS ban are urgently needed for advocating total TAPS ban implementation in a broader scope of the country.

Abstract

Public health problems and decreased environmental health can be caused by pesticides because they are dangerous toxic substances. Pesticides have had a risky impact on farmers in Jonggol village. Assessing the risk of pesticide exposure to drinking water sources in agricultural areas in Jonggol village in 2022 is the aim of this study. The research used the Environmental Health Risk Assessment study. Conducting interviews with questionnaires, measuring pesticides in drinking water sources, and observing are part of the research data collection. The results of research conducted at 3 points only found pesticides at the first point, namely in the well water in Kampung Kujang with a value above the standard of 0.0855 mg/l the location is only 2 m from the agriculture. In the next two points, namely well water in Karni village and river water in Bengkok village, no pesticides were detected and the distance from the agriculture was 20 m. Most of the water from wells in agricultural areas is consumed by farmers for drinking. The calculation result was 0.00246 mg/kg/day for non-carcinogenic intake values (real-time) and 0.001056 mg/kg/day for carcinogenic intake values (real-time). The results showed there was no non-carcinogenic risk with RQ value of ≤ 1 with a value of characteristics of non-carcinogenic risk was 0.246. The conclusion is that both in real-time and in a lifetime, farmers in Jonggol village are already at risk. The risk of health problems for farmers can be reduced by the importance of protecting farmers by carrying out risk management.

Abstract

Stress is a condition of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation, often referred to as pressure. Meanwhile, resilience comprises active and distinct biological processes that protect organisms from the effects of stress. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted mental health, specifically among adolescents navigating a transitional period. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between stress and resilience among adolescents student during the COVID-19 pandemic. An analytic cross-sectional design was used and the study was conducted between February to July 2021. The subjects comprised 238 people from 22 MAN in the Jabodetabek area, selected through Cluster Random Sampling. Primary data were obtained by filling out the 42-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42) and Miller Smith Rating Scale for Stress Tolerance (MSRS-ST) online questionnaires through the Google form application. Furthermore, data were analyzed using Chi-square and Multiple logistics regression tests. The results showed that the majority of respondents totaling 185 (77.7%) had high stress levels with 202 (84.9%) having low resilience. There was a significant relationship between stress levels and resilience as demonstrated by p-value = 0.0002. The variable “difficulty in relaxing” had a 0.13 times potential impact as a factor associated with stress levels. On the other hand, the variable “not drinking alcohol” was found to have a 16.77 times higher potential to be a factor associated with resilience.

Abstract

Students, as agents of change, are expected to assist in reaching the success of the Indonesian National Health Insurance/Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) program. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the JKN knowledge among public health students and the associated factors in Palembang City, Indonesia. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted to collect data from 279 students at Universitas Sriwijaya in Palembang City, Indonesia. The analyzed variables included gender, age, marital status, residence, family size, income, study level and period, as well as source of JKN information. Additionally, statistical analysis using binary logistic regression, presenting odds ratio and 95% CI, was conducted to identify the determinants of JKN knowledge with significance set at a p-value <0.05. The results showed that 92.47% of respondents had low JKN knowledge with the following characteristics; female (93.83%), aged >20 years (92.93%), not married (93.75%), living in urban areas (90.24%), having family members >4 people (91.39%), income ≤UMR (93.38%), undergraduate level (93.70%), study period ≤2 years (93.89%), and receiving information from the Social Security Administration Agency for Health/Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial Kesehatan (BPJSK) (94.32%). The most associated variable with JKN knowledge was residence after being controlled by gender, study period, and information source variables. Specifically, respondents residing in urban areas (aOR = 10.73; 95% CI: 1.32–86.89) showed a higher likelihood of having good JKN knowledge than those in rural areas.
