Abstract

Adolescence is a transitional period characterized by physical, psychological, and social changes that have the potential to influence risky behavior, including the transmission of HIV/AIDS. Indonesia continues to experience an increase in HIV/AIDS cases from year to year, with productive age groups, including adolescents, as one of the most vulnerable. Lack of knowledge and low access to information related to HIV/AIDS are factors that contribute to the low awareness of prevention among adolescents. This study aims to determine the description of knowledge, attitudes, and actions to prevent HIV/AIDS among adolescents at SMA Negeri 8 Kupang City using a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was students of SMA Negeri 8 Kupang, with the number of samples determined based on inclusion criteria and using stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire that included aspects of knowledge, attitudes, and HIV/AIDS prevention actions, and data were analyzed univariately to describe the frequency distribution of each variable. The results showed that most respondents had knowledge in the moderate category, attitudes that tended to be positive towards HIV/AIDS prevention efforts, but the application of preventive measures in everyday life was still not optimal, indicating a gap between knowledge and real behavior. Suggestions for adolescents include improving knowledge about HIV/AIDS supported by the development of positive attitudes and environmental reinforcement to encourage consistent preventive actions, while school-based health education and the active involvement of health workers are essential in strengthening HIV/AIDS prevention efforts among adolescents.

Abstract

In 2022, there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 670,000 deaths recorded worldwide. Women aged 30-49 years have a higher potential to have pre-cancerous lesions so that screening is one of the most effective and cheapest methods to detect cancer cells early. Breast self-examination (BSE) is an effective and easy-to-teach screening if other types of screening are difficult to access. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a theory of behavioral change that focuses on internal cognitive behavioral factors. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis study using secondary data that has been published in the last 10 years from 3 databases, namely: Pubmed, Google Scholar and Science Direct. The keywords used were “Breast Cancer Examination” OR “Breast Cancer Screening” AND “Theory of Planned Behavior” OR “attitude” OR “perceived behavioral control” OR “self-efficacy”. The articles used were English articles with a cross-sectional design. Articles were collected using the PRISMA flow diagram and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application. A total of 18 cross-sectional articles from Ethiopia, Thailand, Nepal, Rwanda, East Africa and Nigeria were analyzed using meta-analysis. The total number of research subjects was 58,799. The results of the meta-analysis showed that positive attitudes (aOR = 1.74; 95% CI = 1.35 to 2.23; p <0.00) and strong perceived behavioral control (aOR = 1.31; 95% CI = 1.17 to 1.48; p <0.001) increased the utilization of breast cancer screening. Positive attitudes and strong perceived behavioral control can increase the utilization of breast cancer screening.

Abstract

Breast cancer is recognized as a major global health challenge with 2.3 million cases recorded in 2020 and projections indicating a continuous increase until 2040 (WHO), where early detection becomes a crucial preventive measure that can be introduced through breast self-examination (BSE) education, yet the knowledge of adolescent girls regarding BSE remains low, requiring effective health education strategies; this study therefore aimed to assess the impact of health education using demonstration methods on improving BSE knowledge among adolescent girls at SMK Jayabeka 01 Karawang in 2025 by employing a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 103 respondents selected through total sampling, utilizing pretest and posttest questionnaires consisting of 20 items, and analyzing the data with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test due to non-normal distribution, with the results showing a significant improvement in knowledge after the intervention (p-value = 0.000, p < 0.05) where 85 respondents experienced an increase, 18 showed no change, and none experienced a decrease, while before the intervention most were in the “moderate” category (67%) and afterward the majority (82.5%) moved into the “good” category, thus confirming that health education delivered through demonstration methods is effective in enhancing adolescent girls’ knowledge of BSE and can be recommended as a suitable and sustainable strategy in school-based programs for early detection of breast cancer.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) continues to pose a significant worldwide health concern, particularly when associated with complications. Delays in diagnosis and identification of drug resistance in these cases can increase morbidity and mortality. This descriptive analytical study using cross-sectional methodology aims to explain the results of GeneXpert examination, a rapid molecular diagnostic instrument, in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis with complications at Panti Rapih Hospital, Yogyakarta. In 2024, secondary data collection using a total sampling strategy, which included 660 patients with pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, resulted in 132 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and 32 samples that met the inclusion criteria. The findings showed that the sample was dominated by men (56.3%) of productive age (75%), with pleural effusion as the most common complication. The main GeneXpert finding was that more than half of the samples (59.4%) showed "MTB Detected Low" results that were sensitive to Rifampicin. This profile confirms the urgency of using GeneXpert as a rapid diagnostic tool to determine appropriate treatment strategies early, particularly in complex patients at high risk of therapy failure.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a critical time for mothers to adapt to their new roles, especially for primiparous mothers who have undergone delivery through a caesarean section (CS). Postoperative conditions often lead to limited mobility and pain, which can affect a mother’s ability to care for her baby and provide exclusive breastfeeding. One effective intervention that can help mothers during this transitional period is comprehensive postpartum education. This study aims to determine the effect of postpartum education on baby care ability and exclusive breastfeeding among primiparous mothers post caesarean section at Efarina Etaham Hospital, Pematang Siantar. The research design used was a quasi-experimental approach with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The sample consisted of primiparous mothers post-CS who met the inclusion criteria, selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included a baby care ability observation sheet and a questionnaire on exclusive breastfeeding practices. Data analysis was conducted using paired t-tests and independent t-tests to determine differences in ability before and after education. The results showed a significant improvement in baby care ability and exclusive breastfeeding practices after postpartum education was provided (p < 0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that postpartum education has a positive effect on improving the ability of primiparous mothers post caesarean section in baby care and exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease known as the “silent killer” because it often appears without symptoms, causing many individuals to remain unaware of their high blood pressure. The main factors contributing to hypertension are environmental factors, including family factors, community factors, and other related factors, namely the duration of hypertension, knowledge, family support, the role of health workers, and motivation to seek treatment. Data on hypertension cases in Kupang City were high in the period January - December 2023 recorded as many as 19,363 people suffering from hypertension, making hypertension one of the diseases with a fairly high number of cases in Kupang City. Data from the Community Health Center (Puskesmas) shows that Alak Community Health Center had the highest number of hypertension cases in Kupang City, namely 4,742 people throughout 2023. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors related to hypertension patient compliance with medication adherence in the Alak Community Health Center working area, Kupang City. This study involved 58 patients selected through accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The study results showed a relationship between compliance and patient knowledge (p = 0.011), family support (p = 0.013), and motivation to seek treatment (p = 0.002). Patients should undergo examinations as directed by healthcare professionals and adopt a healthy lifestyle to prevent more serious complications.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is one of the significant health challenges that still occurs frequently, especially in children aged 0 to 5 years. This study aims to understand how ARI disease control is managed in the Purwoharjo Health Center work area, Pemalang Regency. The method used in this research is qualitative with a case study approach and descriptive analysis. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with health workers directly involved in the implementation of the ARI control program. Findings from the study show that the incidence of ARI, including pneumonia in children under five, is still quite high due to the limited number of health workers, low public awareness, and unfavorable environmental conditions. ARI control has been carried out in two ways, namely activities within health facilities (examination and hospitalization) and activities outside facilities (home visits, posyandu, and counseling). Periodic evaluations conducted every three months show a 25% reduction in ARI incidence,p although further efforts are needed to reach the target of eliminating cases. The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of inter-sectoral cooperation, public health education, and routine monitoring in reducing ARI incidence. It is hoped that the ARI prevention and control program can be continuously improved through

Abstract

Immunization is an effort to increase a person's immune system to avoid disease. Complete basic immunization coverage in 2018-2022 at the Ba'a Community Health Center experienced a significant decline and tended to be low so that it did not reach the 90% strategic plan target. The purpose of this study was to identify events related to the achievement of complete basic immunization coverage for infants at the Ba'a Community Health Center. The type of research used was quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. The age of the infants in this study ranged from 10-12 months, and the respondents were mothers of infants residing in the Ba'a Community Health Center work area. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, a sample of 72 respondents. The data obtained were analyzed using the chi-square test. The test results show that there is a relationship with a sufficient level of correlation between the variables of knowledge (0.018; r = 0.343), attitude (0.004; r = 0.384), distance (0.010; r = 0.340) and family support (0.026; r = 0.322), with the completeness of basic immunization in infants, while the support of health workers has a very weak level of correlation (0.554; r = 0.118) so that there is insufficient evidence to accept that there is a relationship between the support of health workers and the completeness of basic immunization in infants. It is recommended that the husband/family be willing to accompany the mother to the immunization site and provide motivation for the mother.

Abstract

The distribution of Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) varies across regions, highlighting the need to consider spatial factors and the physical environment of residential areas, including housing density, ventilation size, and waste management, which critically affect community quality of life. This study aimed to conduct a spatial analysis of ARI incidence in relation to the physical residential environment in Prambontergayang Village, Tuban Regency. A quantitative descriptive design with cross-sectional observation was applied, utilizing spatial modeling through geoprocessing techniques such as buffering, overlay, and Nearest Neighbor Analysis (NNA). The study included all 150 houses in the village, selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Contingency Coefficient C test and geoprocessing. Findings indicated a clustered pattern of ARI cases, with 34.0% occurring among adolescents and 58.0% among females. Housing density met health standards in 63.3% of cases, ventilation size in 67.3%, and environmentally friendly household waste management in 56.7%. Significant associations were found between ARI incidence and housing density (p = 0.002), ventilation size (p = 0.000), and waste management (p = 0.000). The study concludes that environmental vulnerabilities related to housing density, ventilation, and waste management contribute to ARI incidence. Promoting clean and healthy living practices, adequate nutrition, environmental hygiene, and indoor air quality is essential for ARI prevention and control.
