Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer in Indonesia and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The annual increase in cases, particularly in the Province of Bangka Belitung Islands, makes this issue important to investigate. Factors such as age, body mass index, and hormonal contraceptive use are known to play a role in the incidence of breast cancer, yet few studies have explored this locally. Objective: This study aims to determine the factors associated with the incidence of breast cancer based on age, body mass index, and hormonal contraceptive use in the inpatient ward of RSUD Dr. (H.C.) Ir. Soekarno, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, in 2024. Method: This study employed a case-control design with a total of 176 respondents, consisting of 88 cases and 88 controls, obtained from medical records. The research was conducted from April 7 to May 18, 2025, in the inpatient wards of Class 1 RRD, Class 2 RRD, Class 3 Non-Surgical RRD, and Class 3 Surgical RRD at Dr. (H.C.) Ir. Soekarno Bangka Belitung Regional Hospital. Data collection involved obtaining permission from the Institut Citra Internasional and the hospital, identifying eligible medical records of breast cancer and non-breast cancer female patients, and conducting interviews to complete missing data. Data were then verified using a checklist and analyzed using the Chi-Square and Odds Ratio tests. Result: The results showed no significant relationship between age and the incidence of  breast cancer (p = 1.000). However, there was a significant relationship between body mass index (p= 0.000; OR = 4.956) and hormonal contraceptive use (p = 0.004; OR = 2.571) with the incidence of breast cancer. Conclusion: In conclusion, excessive body mass index and hormonal contraceptive use are significantly associated with the incidence of breast cancer. This study is important  as  a  basis for  education  and  promotive-preventive  interventions  to control risk factors.

Abstract

Introduction: Congestive heart failure is a serious medical condition that often experiences severe physical symptoms and significant psychological distress, including depression and anxiety. Coping mechanisms are strategies used by patients with congestive heart failure to deal with depression and anxiety related to their medical condition. Patients with adaptive coping mechanisms can better manage symptoms and reduce the risk of depression and anxiety. However, patients with maladaptive coping mechanisms are more vulnerable to psychological distress. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between depression and anxiety levels and coping mechanisms in congestive heart failure patients attending the Heart Polyclinic of Sejiran Setason Regional General Hospital in 2025. Method: This study used a cross-sectional design and chi-square test, with univariate and bivariate analyses. The study was conducted from May 21 to June 10, 2025. The population was 138 outpatients with congestive heart failure who were admitted to the Heart Polyclinic of Sejiran Setason Regional General Hospital between January and February. The sample consisted of 67 congestive heart failure patients. Result: The results of this study indicate a relationship between depression (ρ = 0.016) and anxiety (ρ = 0.000) and coping mechanisms in patients with congestive heart failure. Conclusion: This study suggests that it can serve as a basis for developing a holistic care program for patients with congestive heart failure, one that focuses not only on managing physical symptoms but also on psychological aspects and enhancing patients' coping skills to face daily challenges.

Abstract

In the genomic era, understanding the risk of inheriting genetic diseases has become a crucial element in designing effective health prevention and management strategies. The initial step in calculating the risk of genetic inheritance involves gathering information about family health history. Through the analysis of genetic data and family health history, healthcare professionals can determine an individual's potential genetic risk for various diseases. Calculating the risk of genetic inheritance has several important benefits, including early prevention and management, family planning, genetic counseling, targeted therapy and care development, and informed medical decision making. By knowing an individual's genetic risk for a particular disease, they can take appropriate prevention measures or early management actions. These may include lifestyle changes, regular health check-ups, or even advanced genetic testing for early detection. In Family Planning, calculating genetic risk can assist individuals and couples in planning pregnancies and families more effectively. If a high risk is detected, couples can consider options such as genetic counseling, premarital screening, or selecting suitable reproductive methods. Overall, calculating the risk of inheriting genetic diseases can provide individuals and families with valuable information to take preventive measures, make informed medical decisions, and manage their health more effectively.
