Abstract

Pityriasis versicolor (PV) is a chronic superficial fungal infection caused by Malassezia species. It is the most common dermatologic disorder in tropical countries including Ethiopia and skin discoloration is the principal morbidity resulting from pityriasis versicolor. Therefore, this study assess the prevalence and associated factors of PV among patients attending Dermatovenereology clinic at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Hospital based cross sectional study design was employed. Systematic random sampling was used and a total of 406 participants who attended Dermatovenereology OPD were included in the study. Data were collected by interview and physical examination. Then it was checked, coded, entered into Epi-Info version 7 and analyzed using Stata version 14. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression were employed to identify factors associated with PV. Adjusted odds ratio with their corresponding 95% CI and P-value were calculated. A P-value less than 0.05 was used to declare statistically significant variables. The overall magnitude of PV among patients attending Dermatovenereology OPD at the UGCSH was 12.6% (95%CI; 9.2%, 15.0%).Those who had a diploma and above education  [AOR: 95% CI; 4.67 (1.18, 18.47)], excessive sweating [AOR: 95% CI; 4.75 ( 1.92, 8.76)] being male [AOR: 95%CI; 4.19 (1.92, 9.14)], practicing regular exercise [AOR: 95% CI;  4.11 (1.93, 8.76)] and wearing heavy clothes [AOR: 95% CI; 2.53 (1.24, 5.15)] were found to be statistically significantly associated with PV. This study found that the magnitude of Pityriasis versicolor was relatively lower. The study revealed that educational status (diploma and above), male gender, habit of regular exercise, excessive sweating and wearing heavy cloths were significantly associated with Pityriasis Versicolor. It is recommended that high risk patients receive close follow up and health professionals should provide health education sessions in waiting rooms about the identified risk factors.

Abstract

According to the United Nations, within the next decades approximately 70% of the world’s population will become urban citizens. This massive immigration results in urbanization trends of the outskirts and furthermore neighboring districts merge with the urban space, presenting enormous environmental, ecological, health-related, and social challenges to the regions and their citizens. Politics will have to face these issues, but so far, the urban planning and environmental oriented interdependencies are not notably considered and on a municipal level essential resources are disregarded. Within the timeframe of three years (2020-2022), the Munich University of Applied Sciences assessed in a collaborative process the urban potentials of a metropolitan district and developed health-promoting and sustainable building and open space structures for the year 2050. Therefore health, participation, urbanity, and sustainability issues were interlinked and integrated in the urban development process. The research project is based on an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, which furthermore includes different stakeholders from economy, politics, and the civil society.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with significant global mortality rates. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2012) reported that in 2011, over 508,000 women worldwide died from this disease, which accounts for the highest percentage of new cases at 43.3% and a mortality rate of 12.9%. Existing therapies, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, often accompany side effects such as pain, weakness, hair loss, and menstrual disorders. Acupressure, as a form of non-pharmacological therapy, has the potential to mitigate these side effects through the application on meridian points LI4, SP6, and LR3, selected for their relevance to the energy flow affecting pain and the reproductive system. This study investigates the impact of acupressure on points LI4, SP6, and LR3 concerning pain and menstrual disorders in patients with carcinoma mammae undergoing chemotherapy in Bengkulu City. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design and a two-group pretest-posttest with control approach, this study involved 30 participants divided into two groups: 15 in the control group and 15 in the intervention group, selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicated no significant differences in the reduction of pain and menstrual disorders between the groups, with a p-value showing no statistical significance. This suggests that acupressure might be more effective if applied continuously in the early stages of chemotherapy. These findings invite further research to explore the therapeutic potential of acupressure in managing breast cancer, particularly for mitigating chemotherapy side effects.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the significant relationship between self-efficacy and lifestyle on the prevalence of hypertension. In this context, self-efficacy is defined as an individual's belief in managing blood pressure through health behaviors, while an unhealthy lifestyle includes habits such as a high-salt diet and minimal physical activity. This research utilized a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. Out of 70 respondents, it was found that 27 individuals (38.6%) had sufficient self-efficacy, 36 individuals (51.4%) demonstrated an unhealthy lifestyle, and 37 individuals (52.9%) suffered from hypertension. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between self-efficacy (p-value = 0.000) and lifestyle (p-value = 0.000) with the incidence of hypertension. These results support the theory that enhancing self-efficacy and shifting towards a healthier lifestyle can reduce the risk of hypertension, providing significant contributions to the literature and practices in hypertension management. Abstrak: Studi ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi hubungan yang signifikan antara self-efficacy dan gaya hidup terhadap prevalensi hipertensi. Dalam konteks ini, self-efficacy diartikan sebagai keyakinan individu dalam mengelola tekanan darah melalui perilaku kesehatan, sedangkan gaya hidup tidak sehat mencakup kebiasaan seperti diet tinggi garam dan minim aktivitas fisik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain deskriptif korelasional dan pendekatan cross-sectional. Dari total 70 responden, ditemukan bahwa 27 orang (38,6%) memiliki self-efficacy yang cukup, 36 orang (51,4%) menunjukkan gaya hidup tidak sehat, dan 37 orang (52,9%) menderita hipertensi. Analisis statistik menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara self-efficacy (p-value = 0,000) dan gaya hidup (p-value = 0,000) dengan kejadian hipertensi. Hasil ini mendukung teori bahwa peningkatan self-efficacy dan perubahan ke arah gaya hidup yang lebih sehat dapat mengurangi risiko hipertensi, memberikan kontribusi penting terhadap literatur dan praktik dalam manajemen hipertensi.

Abstract

Hypertension, characterized by an abnormal increase in blood pressure, often triggers headaches at the back of the head and neck due to vascular disturbances. This study explores the effectiveness of a holistic non-pharmacological intervention—comprising Deep Breathing Relaxation Technique, Qur'anic recitation (murottal), and Hypertension Exercise—to alleviate these headaches in hypertensive patients at Mekarjaya Community Health Center, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilized a Quasi-Experimental Design with a Pretest and Posttest Control Group. The intervention group underwent IMAS therapy, an integrated approach combining the three techniques, while the control group continued only with routine medication. Conducted in December 2022 with 16 participants in each group, results from both Dependent and Independent T-tests (p < 0.05) confirmed the significant effect of the interventions. This study not only underscores the potential of such integrative therapies in managing hypertension-related headaches but also contributes to broader health care practices by offering a viable alternative to conventional medication. The findings align with and extend existing research on relaxation therapies for hypertension, suggesting substantial benefits in patient well-being and symptom management.
