Abstract

Background and purpose: The proportion of the older population in the world is increasing, including in Indonesia. The elderlies tend to be more susceptible to infectious diseases and chronic diseases due to decreased anatomical and physiological functions. A model of health services for the elderlies in Indonesia is called posyandu lansia (integrated health village posts for older adults). This study aims to analyse the determinants of the use of health village posts among older adults in Indonesia. Methods: This study is a secondary data analysis of the 2014 Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS-5) data . The study samples included 4,366 respondents at the age of 50 years and over. The dependent variable is utilization of posyandu lansia and the independent variables consist of age, gender, level of education, work status and activity of daily living. Data analysis was performed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. Results: The study results show that the utilization of posyandu lansia was 5.1%. Age ≥60 years, female gender, secondary education, unemployment, region, location, activity of daily living, nutritional status of fat and thin, acute morbidity, and a history of chronic disease have a significant relationship with the utilization of posyandu lansia in Indonesia (p<0.05). Females were 3.097 times more likely to utilize posyandu lansia (95%CI: 2.464-3.891) than males. Conclusion: Women are more likely to use the posyandu lansia than men. The government should increase the effort to expand coverage of posyandu lansia utilization especially among males.

Abstract

Background and purpose: By December 2020, 678 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were recorded in East Lombok District, and more are anticipated. The capacity of the available healthcare institutions is now impacted by the inclusion of these cases. In this study, the duration of stay of COVID-19 patients at Dr. R. Soedjono Hospital in Selong, East Lombok will be described, as well as the association between sociodemographic and clinical factors with length of stay. Methods: This is an observational study with a cross-sectional design using medical records of 409 patients who were confirmed positive for COVID-19 then treated in April-December 2020 and declared cured after completed the treatment period. The data collected included the date of admission and discharge of patients, age, gender, marital status, education, occupation, history of comorbidities and laboratory test results. Data analysis was performed using multiple logistic regression. Results: The average length of stay for COVID-19 patients at Dr. R. Soedjono Hospital Selong, East Lombok was 16 days (SD±7,366) and the median was 14 days (IQR=7). Multivariate analysis shows factors for patients being treated for longer time (the average length of stay ≥17 days) were male (AOR=1.87; 95%CI: 1.21-2.86) and low education level (AOR=1.91; 95%CI: 1.19-3.06). Conclusion: The average length of stay of COVID-19 patients in this hospital was quite long at 16 days. Male COVID-19 patients and those with low education have higher likelihood to stay longer in hospital. The hospital should consider this information to improve hospital planning for COVID-19 patients

Abstract

Background and purpose: Breastfeeding initiation is internationally recommended due to its benefits on maternal and child health. The study aims to determine the relationship between mode of delivery and early breastfeeding initiation among women who delivered in health facilities. Methods: The study was based on The Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2017. There were 5,369 women whose children were born in the last 24 months preceding the survey in health facilities in Indonesia. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were used for data analysis. The complex sample design was performed for analyses. Results: Of the women who had given birth to at least 24 months preceding the survey in health facilities, 57 percent of women were found to practice breastfeeding initiation. The likelihood of breastfeeding initiation among women who delivered in health facilities was associated with mode of delivery, which women with cesarean delivery (OR=0.33; 95%CI: 0.29-0.38) were less likely to practice breastfeeding initiation compared with those with normal vaginal delivery after adjusted by socio-economic factors. Moreover, women aged 35-49 years and non-working women were found to have higher probabilities to practice breastfeeding initiation. Conclusion: Maternal age, working status, and type of delivery were significantly influencing the practice of early initiation of breastfeeding among women who delivered in health facilities. Policy and intervention to encourage and support early initiation of breastfeeding should be taken into consideration by public health professionals and health providers. Comprehensive breastfeeding counseling should be a part of health care training to encourage moms to start nursing as soon as possible, especially for mothers who have caesarean deliveries. It is important to ensure the implementation of breastfeeding policy on the company’s worksite support policy.

Abstract

Approximately 165 million (25,7%) children globally experience chronic malnutrition or stunting.1 In Indonesia, 29.6% of children under five are recorded as short and very short.2 The stunting prevention framework underlines that stunting prevention needs to be carried out with a comprehensive approach targeting specific nutritional factors such as the adolescents’ and young couples’ health, pregnancy supplements, exclusive breastfeeding, child feeding, as well as sensitive nutritional factors such as food security, mental health during pregnancy, women empowerment, access to clean water and sanitation, and family health services.1

Abstract

Background and purpose: National Insurance Mobile Application (JKN Mobile) developed by Health Insurance Institution (BPJS Kesehatan) to facilitate the administrative activities of the National Health Insurance (JKN) participants. However, in practice, it has yet to be widely used by JKN participants. This study aims to explore factors determine participants' intention to use the JKN Mobile application based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Framework. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in April-May 2021. The minimum required sample size was 99. Inclusion criteria were people 18 years of age or older, residing in Badung District, Bali Province and at least having used the JKN Mobile once. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. A multivariable analysis was then conducted to determine the factors of intention to use the JKN Mobile application. Results: The proportion of JKN participants interested in using the JKN Mobile was 50%. Perceived usefulness, ease of use, credibility, and amount of information were correlated with the intention to use the JKN Mobile. The linear regression analysis showed that perceived usefulness is significantly associated with the intention to use JKN Mobile (aOR=9.68; 95%CI: 3.33-28.14; p=0.001). Conclusion: Participants' acceptability to use JKN Mobile is associated with the benefits of using such an application. It is thus imperative for BPJS Kesehatan to simultaneously update the design and features to be readily accepted and used by the public, which will later affect interest in using the application.

Abstract

Background and purpose: Age 6-24 months is a critical period for experiencing nutrition and health problems, especially among children who are stunted. Stunting children need to recover their nutritional status through appropriate interventions to be able to pursue their growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nutrition assistance on breastfeeding and complementary feeding on the length growth of children aged 6-24 with stunting. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study. A sample of 60 intervention and 60 control groups were divided into North Bengkulu District and Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) District. Nutrition assistance for 6 months (July-November 2019) was carried out by 10 trained cadres. Each cadre is responsible for 6 stunted children aged 6-24 months (3 children received assistance and 3 children with standard services from the public health center). Data analysis uses independent t-test and dependent t-test after passing the homogeneity test phase of the proportion of sample characteristics and normality of the data. Results: We found that assistance for breastfeeding and complementary feeding for mothers with stunting children aged 6-24 months was effective in increasing the growth of the child's body length. As many as 53.3% of stunted children in North Bengkulu District and 36.7% in TTS District showed growth after nutrition assistance. Conclusion: It is recommended that the implementation of a nutrition assistance model be accompanied by continuous family and community empowerment in the recovery of nutritional status, especially in families with stunted children aged 6-24 months.

Abstract

Background and purpose: The incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in Bali continues to increase. A new strategy is required to control dengue in Bali. The purpose of the study is to conduct spatial mapping with a geographic information system to help determine the distribution pattern and areas at risk of DHF and to predict increasing vector density and dengue cases. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the South Denpasar Public Health Center service area from January to June 2020. It was conducted in 3 villages, including Kelurahan Sesetan (3,446 households), Sidakarya Village (2,859 households), and Kelurahan Panjer (2,907 households). A total of 191 cases of DHF were recorded during the study period. Results: Calculation of the spatial analysis of the Average Nearest Neighbor (AAN) with the value of Z score=-8.03 show a spatial pattern of the distribution of DHF cases. AAN value of 0.69 (<1) means that the pattern of spread of DHF incidence is clustered. Time series forecasting by modeling using the Autoregressive Moving Average (ARIMA) and Double Exponential Smoothing Method Routine shows that larva control efforts are predicted to affect the number of dengue cases. The pattern of the spatial distribution of cases occurs in clusters. Conclusion: There is a spatial relationship with population density. It is predicted that routine larvae control will reduce dengue cases.

Abstract

Background and purpose: The smoking prevalence in youths aged 10-18 years in Indonesia increased from 7.2% in 2013 to 9.1% in 2018. The aim of this study was to assess factors related to smoking behavior among students in Indonesia. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the 2019 Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) Indonesia data. The sampling technique used was two-stage cluster sampling, classified by schools and classes. The samples included in this analysis were all students aged 13-15 years who participated in the survey and have complete data, accounted for 9,789 respondents. The data were analysed with the Chi-Square Test and Logistic Regression with a 95% confidence interval and p value of 0.05. Results:  A total of 3,595 students (36.72%) had smoked. The number of respondents was the most in the age group of 13-15 years (51.43%). The number of male respondents was 44.01% and women 55.99%. Most students (90.29%) had seen cigarette advertisements, 55.88% of them saw people smoking in school areas and 46.88% saw teachers smoking at schools. The results of a multivariate analysis found factors affected smoking behaviour in students were the friend's offer to smoke (AOR=10.69; 95%CI: 7.37-15.50), male gender (AOR=13.94; 95%CI: 11.56–16.81) and presence of people smoking in the house (AOR=2.15; 95%CI: 1.88-2.45). Conclusion: Environmental cues and peer pressure are associated with smoking among students. Optimizing smoke free and health education about the dangers of cigarettes is essential to counteract the extensive exposure to environmental influence to smoking.
