Abstract

HIV/AIDS is a chronic disease with a steadily increasing prevalence, requiring serious attention, particularly in efforts to improve the quality of life of those affected. Persistent stigma and discrimination present significant psychosocial challenges. Meanwhile, antiretroviral therapy, as the primary treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS, plays a vital role in maintaining health stability. These three aspects are key determinants that can comprehensively influence the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS. This study aims to examine the influence of stigma, discrimination, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy on the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS in Gorontalo City. This study employed an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 69 individuals living with HIV-AIDS, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using ordinal logistic regression with a significance level of 0,05. The analysis revealed that stigma (p-value = 0,000, OR 0,028) and discrimination (P-value = 0,006, OR = 7,32) had a significant influence on the quality of life of people living with HIV-AIDS in Gorontalo City However, adherence to antiretroviral therapy showed no significant impact (P-value = 0,708, OR = 0,761) on their quality of life. This study recommends efforts to raise public awareness about HIV/AIDS and to address the detrimental effects of stigma and discrimination on people living with the disease.

Abstract

Gastritis is one of the non-communicable diseases with a very high incidence. In Indonesia, gastritis is even included in the 10 most common diseases and occurs in all age groups. The incidence of gastritis is partly caused by irregular diet or a good diet. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between diet and the incidence of gastritis in adolescents in Muara Village, Bojonggede. This research method uses a cross-sectional design. The number of respondents in this study was 72 respondents. The sampling technique used in this study is simple random sampling. The statistical test used in this study is the Chi Squared Test. The results of the study showed that the incidence of gastritis in Muara Village and Perigi Village was only 15 respondents (20.8%). The results of the chi square test obtained the results of Asymp. Sig 0.737 with a significance level of 0.05. If Asymp. Sig 0.05 then there is a significant relationship, if the Asymp. Sig value 0.05, then there is no significant relationship. Thus, it can be interpreted that there is no relationship between diet and the incidence of gastritis. This can also be interpreted that a person's diet has no correlation with the incidence of gastritis.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a conscious effort enabling families to be independent in health, actively engage in health activities, and contribute to community health. Purpose of the research is explores the role of local wisdom in shaping the Bajo Muara tribe's understanding and adoption of PHBS. The type of research used is qualitative research employs an ethnographic approach in Benteng Village, Lasalimu District, Buton Regency, from June to August 2024. Thirteen participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Results: The Bajo Muara community faces challenges in adopting PHBS due to social norms. Health access is limited, and childbirth often relies on traditional healers or midwives, with some births occurring at home. Initial breast milk (colostrum) is discarded as unsuitable, while formula and sachet milk are widely used. Diets lack balanced nutrition. Though the government provides clean water, distribution issues force residents to fetch water from the mainland. Open defecation in the sea remains prevalent. Smoking, common among both men and women, averages 1–2 packs daily. Washing habits are practiced to maintain cleanliness. The implementation of PHBS among the Bajo Muara community is hindered by deeply rooted social norms, limited health access, and challenges in infrastructure and education.
