Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the baseline prevalence and association between blood pressure and cholesterol examination. Method: This preliminary study used a cross-sectional design to analyze the secondary blood pressure and cholesterol levels data in the Sampangan sub-district, Semarang City. The total sampling technique covered those enrolled in the metabolic syndrome screening from January to April 2023. The logistic regression test was used in data analysis. Results: 58 respondents took blood pressure checks, while only 40 had cholesterol checks. The probability of males getting changes in cholesterol levels was higher than that of females (OR = 8.69; p-value = 0.01). However, neither (female nor male) had a significant relationship, and there was no difference in the chances of changes in blood pressure (OR = 1.43; p = 0.72). Respondents above 60 years had a significant association with changes in blood pressure compared to those under 60 years (OR = 0.09; p = 0.007). Conclusion: This study revealed males of a certain age experience higher changes in cholesterol levels compared to females. People over 60 years old tend to have higher blood pressure compared to those under 60 years old. These findings propose an outreach strategy for health screening for patients with limited mobility, transportation access, and finances for routine checkups at public or government healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to determine the determinants of higher parity in women aged 45-49 years in Eastern Indonesia. Methods: This research uses a quantitative approach and analysis of secondary data from the 2017 IDHS, utilizing a cross-sectional study design. Meanwhile, this research was conducted on 1,055 samples of the 2017 IDHS and analyzed using a complex survey method. Results: The research finds that 72.2% of women aged 45-49 years in Eastern Indonesia have higher parity. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicates that women in this age group who gave birth for the first time before the age of 20 (p-value: 0.005; aOR: 2.04), those who have used a birth control method or device (p-value: 0.001; aOR: 0.30), those with the lowest welfare index (p-value: 0.015; aOR: 1.90), those who have experienced child mortality (p-value: 0.001; aOR: 4.46), and those preferred more than two children (p-value: 0.001; aOR: 5.47) are statistically significant related to higher parity. Conclusion: The research concludes that key determinants of higher parity in women aged 45-49 years in Eastern Indonesia include early age at first birth, previous use of a birth control method or device, lowest welfare index, experience of child mortality, and a preference for having more than two children. Among these, the preferred child number is the most dominant variable related to higher parity.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to analyze the implementation of the occupational safety and health management system at community health centers to determine the achievements of the implementation of occupational safety and health by looking at the indicator system from K3 policy, K3 planning, K3 implementation as well as K3 monitoring and evaluation at the Sentani Community Health Center, Jayapura Regency. Methods: This type of research uses qualitative case study methods. The subjects of this research were health workers at the Sentani Community Health Center, Jayapura Regency, with a sample size of 10 respondents. The data collection technique is a triangulation technique involving observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The tool used is a questionnaire. Results: The research shows that community health centers must fully implement an occupational safety and health management system. Based on the results of observations and interviews, it was found that the health center still needs to have a written K3 commitment and policy based on the SK—head of Pukesmas. There has been no significant risk research in determining K3 planning. The implementation of K3 at health centers has been implemented through health services, fire control and prevention, and the provision of K3 facilities and infrastructure. Monitoring and evaluation in implementing K3 still need to record and report on planning, implementation, or recording cases of work-related accidents (KAK) and work-related diseases (PAK) at health centers. Conclusion: The safety and health management system must still be fully implemented. The need to review and analyze work risks for workers and the environment and become a benchmark in making K3 policy commitments at health centers in implementing occupational safety and health management systems.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to assess food accessibility and its influencing factors among adults in Indonesia during the early COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The research was cross-sectional and conducted using an online questionnaire that assessed sociodemographic characteristics, food access, physical access (enabling factors for individuals to reach food physically), financial access, social support, and coping strategies of the respondents. We included 439 adults, 358 females and 81 males, aged 20-62 years. Results: This research found that physical access difficulties (aOR=3.945; CI:1.652-9.421; p=0.002), unemployment status (aOR=3.104; CI:1.436-6.712; p=0.004), and lower education level (aOR=2.819; CI:1.036-7.672; p=0.042) were associated with increased inability to access food. Meanwhile, coping strategies for food insecurity conditions (aOR=0.634; CI:0.536-0.750; p<0.001) were protective of the inability to access food (R2=0.298). Conclusion: People with a high risk of unemployment and low education who will have difficulty accessing food in times of social restrictions should be protected.

Abstract

Purpose: To delve into the patient’s attempt at vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) in the primary care center and to highlight the importance of the primary care center for women opting for VBAC. Methods: This case report describes a woman with unsuccessful VBAC in primary care. Informed consent was obtained before the study. Results: A woman in her mid-thirties with a history of a prior cesarean section and a failed trial of labor was referred to the hospital at 40 weeks gestational age due to prolonged labor. The patient was referred to the hospital after 14.5 hours of trial labor in primary care. After delivery, the patient had urinary retention caused by pelvic nerve injury. The newborn baby had an APGAR Score of 3/5 and was treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with respiratory distress syndrome and meconium aspiration syndrome. Conclusion: Vaginal birth after cesarean can be done by considering its indications and contraindications. However, it is recommended to perform VBAC in hospitals equipped with emergency cesarean facilities, in which the cesarean section can be done within 30 minutes after the decision has been made. Primary care centers have a role in educating patients, providing guidance, and selecting patients for referral. This case also highlights the importance of a holistic approach to social obstetrics, addressing medical, social, economic, and systemic factors. By doing so, healthcare systems can ensure equitable access to timely and appropriate care, ultimately enhancing the well-being of pregnant women and improving VBAC success rates.

Abstract

Purpose: Indonesia strives to remain polio-free and eradicate polio globally by 2026, adding two inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) vaccine doses to the 2023 child immunization schedule. IPV2 immunization has been introduced in DKI Jakarta, West Java, and Banten provinces. This initiative aims to enhance public health by protecting against vaccine-preventable diseases. Methods: A mixed-method study was conducted in December 2022 - January 2023 at South Jakarta, Mampang Prapatan district health center, focusing on IPV2's second dose introduction evaluation. Results: Effective health promotion and seamless integration of primary health services are pivotal in implementing vaccination services. Despite ongoing understanding gaps, health cadres and parents showed significant knowledge gains (p<0.05) post-intervention. The health cadres' role in education is crucial. Conclusion: Aligned with the tiered health transformation, which has evolved into a collaborative movement grounded in the life cycle, health cadres' effective deployment and support play a pivotal role in sustaining Indonesia’s polio-free achievement.
