Abstract

Purpose: Follow-up visits are crucial to the management of toddler pneumonia. The purpose of this study is to determine the healthcare-seeking behavior (HSB) follow-up visit for toddler pneumonia in the Kulon Progo District. Method: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional study design and a sample size of 185 mothers or caregivers of toddler pneumonia in Kulon Progo District. Data were obtained through interviews using questionnaires. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression tests. Results: A total of 185 mothers or caregivers were successfully interviewed with a response rate of 96.9%. The percentage of follow-up visits for toddler pneumonia was 65.9%. The multivariate analysis showed that support from healthcare providers (aOR = 7.36 95% CI: 2.38-22.73) and degree of severity (aOR = 3.56, 95% CI: 1.42-8.93) were significantly associated with HSB follow-up visit in toddlers with pneumonia, which was adjusted to family support, caregivers’ knowledge, access to health facilities, number of children, occupation, education of caregivers and toddler sex. Conclusion: Good support from healthcare providers may improve HSB follow-up visits for toddler pneumonia compared to those with less support, with a 7.36 times higher rate. Recommendations for healthcare providers to provide appropriate care, especially those with limited knowledge, in order of increasing caregivers’ knowledge about the necessity of follow-up visits.

Abstract

Purpose: Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular tumour in children. Its prognosis varies depending on the stage of diagnosis. However, in developing countries such as Indonesia, retinoblastoma still has a poor prognosis as most patients present at advanced stages. This research aims to explore the factors influencing the delay in patients with retinoblastoma reaching referral health facilities from the perspective of their families. Methods: A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach was conducted to gather family perspectives through in-depth interviews via WhatsApp calls. Each interview lasted 20-25 minutes and included families of retinoblastoma patients who had visited the eye clinic at Sardjito General Hospital at a late hour. “Late” was defined as tumour spread beyond the eyeball (intraorbital, spread to the optic nerve, or intracranial spread) or involvement of more than one eye. Audio was transcribed verbatim using a mobile phone voice recorder, and open coding was performed using Open Code 4.02 software to identify meaning units, codes, and categories. Triangulation and peer debriefing were used to ensure validity and trustworthiness. Results: Several categories emerged, including reasons for seeking help, trust in medical professionals, family compassion, and challenges in health facilities. Challenges in health facilities, particularly diagnostic capabilities, communication, and education about eye tumours, along with negative emotions like denial from families, contributed to delays in seeking treatment for retinoblastoma patients. Conclusion: Family compassion plays a positive role in encouraging families to seek medical help. However, challenges in health facilities, particularly in diagnosis, communication, and education about eye tumors, as well as family denial, contribute to the delays in retinoblastoma patients reaching referral health facilities.

Abstract

Purpose: This scoping review aims to explore the determinants influencing the nutritional status of adolescents with intellectual disabilities, including macronutrient intake, family income, and other contributing factors. Methods: A systematic search was conducted for articles published from 2012 to 2022 in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases, using keywords such as "nutritional status," "dietary intake," "family income," "intellectual disability," and "adolescent". Relevant studies were selected through title and abstract screening, followed by full-text review, resulting in nine articles for analysis. Results: The review found that inadequate dietary intake, particularly high consumption of unhealthy foods, significantly impacts the nutritional status of adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Family income, while affecting food security, does not independently determine dietary outcomes. Comorbid conditions like Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and cerebral palsy, along with physical limitations and the use of psychotropic medications, further contribute to malnutrition risks. Conclusion: Adolescents with intellectual disabilities are at increased risk of malnutrition due to poor food intake. While family income influences food security, it is not the sole factor. The presence of comorbid conditions, physical limitations, and psychotropic medication use is also a key determinant of their nutritional status.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze trends and diversity in Japanese encephalitis videos on YouTube to promote health information in Indonesia. Methods: We collected the videos on YouTube by searching with the keyword “Japanese encephalitis”. The search results were identified to confirm their relevance to Japanese Encephalitis, and the videos were then classified for use in Indonesia. We analyze trends by examining the frequency of videos over time. For the videos identified as Indonesian-language content, further categorization was conducted based on their thematic content type. Results: We retrieved 586 videos and excluded 44 videos that were not related to Japanese encephalitis. The videos were published from January 6, 2008, to August 3, 2024. There was a global increase in the production of Japanese encephalitis content videos on YouTube, particularly in 2019, from 3.5% to 11.4%. However, only 22 (4.31%) Japanese encephalitis-related videos used Indonesian, with the most common content category being educational (22.7%). Conclusion: An increase in Japanese encephalitis-related content videos on YouTube in 2019, yet Indonesian-language videos remain limited. This highlights the need for more Indonesian-language content and more diverse information on Japanese encephalitis, targeted to Indonesian audiences, to improve public awareness and preventive measures.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the key determinants influencing non-prescription antibiotic use and identifies knowledge gaps in Indonesia, based on the 2023 National Health Survey (SKI 2023). Using national data, the research examines education, healthcare access, gender, and age-related trends, comparing these trends across rural and urban populations. Methods: The study utilizes SKI 2023 national data to analyze antibiotic usage patterns and examine trends related to education, healthcare access, public awareness, gender, and age. A comparative analysis of urban and rural areas reveals disparities, with Pearson Chi-Square and Multinomial Logistic Regression tests applied at p≤0.05 for statistical significance. Results: The study shows that lower education levels are significantly associated with higher antibiotic misuse (p<0.001). Younger individuals and males also tend to misuse antibiotics more frequently and have lower knowledge levels (p<0.001). In urban areas, 58.4% of males and 54.3% of females report using antibiotics without a prescription. Limited access to healthcare is also significantly linked to increased self-medication (p<0.001). Additionally, 73.5% of respondents hold misconceptions about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), underscoring the urgent need for improved public awareness and education. Conclusion: According to the Indonesian Health Survey 2023, non-prescription antibiotic use is more prevalent among individuals with lower educational attainment, younger age, male gender, urban residence, and limited access to healthcare. To address this issue, public policies should prioritize health education, school-based awareness programs, improved access to healthcare, and stricter regulation of antibiotic sales.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify psychosocial hazards by examining the history of physical and non-physical violence, as well as the concerns experienced by residents enrolled in the specialist medical education program at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital. Methods: This research employs a descriptive-analytical design using a cross-sectional approach, in which data are collected at a single point in time. The sampling technique used is proportional stratified random sampling, where the sample is drawn in proportion to the size of each stratum within the population. Results: The majority of respondents were over 30 years old (56.03%), male (58.87%), and held a bachelor's degree (87.94%). The most commonly reported psychosocial hazard among respondents at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital was verbal non-physical violence. A significant relationship was found between demographic characteristics—specifically age—and the history of physical violence among specialist medical education students. Additionally, a relationship was observed between work shift patterns and the history of non-physical violence. Furthermore, non-physical violence was found to be associated with anxiety among the specialist medical education students at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital. Conclusion: Health organizations must establish and prioritize policies against workplace violence through educational training programs and safety protocols.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify risk factors related to the incidence of hepatitis B among pregnant women in Kulon Progo District. Methods: This study used a case-control design with a ratio of 1: 1. The sample size was 132 respondents with 66 cases and 66 controls. Data collected through interviews with mothers was recorded in the hepatitis B screening surveillance report of pregnant women in Kulon Progo District 2017 to 2018. The data were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test, chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression. Results: The results showed that the average age of respondents was 30.75±6.07, 71.2% were housewives and 64.4% had high school education. Bivariate analysis showed that age, parity, history of miscarriage, surgical history, family history of hepatitis and shared personal hygiene items had relationships with the incidence of hepatitis B. The results of multivariate analysis in the final model showed parity (OR=4.41) and family history of hepatitis (OR = 20.23) as significant risk factors for the incidence of Hepatitis B among pregnant women. Conclusion: High parity and a family history of hepatitis were found to increase the risk of hepatitis B among pregnant women. Efforts to prevent household transmission of hepatitis B should include increasing knowledge through education and counseling, as well as screening family members or other individuals living in the same household as mothers with hepatitis B.
