Abstract

Hypertension is a public problem that is national-focused. The prevalence in Indonesia reaches 34.1%. Sodium intake, physical activity, central obesity status, and family history are risk factors for hypertension. This study aims to prove sodium intake, physical activity, central obesity status, and family history of hypertension. This cross-sectional approach, a quantitative method, was conducted in Sawotratap Village. Sixty-eight people underwent health checks at Posbindu Saworatap from February to November 2022 and only 63 met the criteria. Measurements of hypertension status using a digital sphygmomanometer, measuring sodium intake using the SQ-FFQ forms, measuring physical activity using a questionnaire, and measuring central obesity status with an abdominal circumference indicator measured by a meter with an accuracy of 1 mm. Data analysis using chi-square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between sodium intake and the incidence of hypertension. There is a relationship between central obesity status and the incidence of hypertension. There is a relationship between family history and the incidence of hypertension. There is no relationship between physical activity and the incidence of hypertension. Sodium intake, central obesity status, and family history are risk factors for hypertension.

Abstract

The continuous migration of highly skilled Filipino healthcare professionals to work overseas is an occurrence that has indeed resulted in a significant loss of talent and expertise in the country’s healthcare system. The departure of these healthcare professionals often leaves their previous positions vacant, which leads to an increased workload for the remaining staff and eventually results in work overload, inefficiency, and shortage of personnel, which disrupts the seamless operation of the healthcare system, ultimately affecting the service delivery and the quality of patient care. Thus, further investigation of this perennial concern of Filipino healthcare professionals’ global mobility is imperative to understand its current context fully. Through semi-structured interviews and follow-up interviews, this qualitative study explores how a group of 14 former healthcare professionals in a government hospital in Leyte perceive international migration for work, their perceived factors for migration, and the everyday challenges they have encountered as migrant healthcare workers. The thematic analysis of interview responses revealed the following specific perspectives about former healthcare professionals’ view on international migration for work: further advance professional and career growth, establish a better work environment, aiming for competitive compensation, the problematic healthcare system in the Philippines, and safeguard employees’ mental wellbeing. Further, it was found that the healthcare professional participants considered the factors influencing their decision to work abroad: toxic work culture and work overload, non-competitive compensation and benefits, work inequality and abuse of power, and career development and progression. Three major themes emerged regarding challenges: overcoming culture shock, language barriers, communication gaps, and homesickness.

Abstract

The study investigated personal attributes, the level of awareness about mental health and depression, and the self-perception regarding self-stigma and public stigma in Barangay Alawihao, Daet, Camarines Sur. It also uncovers the respondent's level of awareness about mental health and depression topics and self-perception of self-stigma and public stigma. In addition, it also proposed and recommended activities to disseminate awareness of depression. The study utilized a descriptive qualitative research design with 100 respondents. Data collected were collated and analyzed through descriptive statistics using frequency count, percentage technique, and weighted mean. The findings revealed that the respondents are young adults, with the majority of female college undergraduates displaying a commendable awareness level regarding mental health and depression. Suggested seminars and leaflets are effective tools for disseminating relevant information on mental health, depression, and stigma. With this, it is recommended to conduct further studies using different variables, continuing to raise awareness about mental health causes, organizing seminar series, and distributing leaflets to combat self-stigma and public stigma on depression.

Abstract

This research was motivated by an increase in pulmonary tuberculosis cases in 2022 of 10% and cases of loss to follow-up treatment of 11.25%. This research aimed to determine the description of Anti-TB treatment compliance in pulmonary tuberculosis patients at the Pameungpeuk Community Health Center. This research method uses descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional design. The instrument used the MARS-5 questionnaire with 120 pulmonary tuberculosis patient respondents who received treatment at the health center. The sampling technique uses a Total sampling technique with criteria for patients undergoing treatment for a minimum of three months from 17-74 years. The research results were obtained from univariate analysis with the results that most were female (52.5%), almost half were in their late teens (32.5%), most had a high school education (60%), almost half the length of treatment was in the intensive phase (48 .3%), most experienced side effects (64.2%), most underwent routine examinations (75%), most had treatment supervision (60%), high compliance (58.3%), moderate compliance (41, 7%). It can be concluded that compliance is influenced by age, education, treatment supervision, side effects, length of treatment, routine check-ups, and gender and it is hoped that community health centers can optimize educational strategies for handling side effects to obtain maximum compliance results.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a major research focus due to its complex etiology and treatment challenges. Ethical issues in schizophrenia research include informed consent, decision-making capacity, and the protection of vulnerable populations. Not all schizophrenia patients can provide ethical consent, highlighting the need for careful consideration in research practices. This study examined empirical studies on these ethical domains, identifying significant gaps and offering recommendations. We aimed to synthesize ethical issues from the literature and understand ethics committee members' perspectives through a mixed-methods approach, including a scoping review and qualitative interviews with three ethics committee members. For the review, four major databases were systematically searched for studies related to ethical issues in schizophrenia research. As a result, 35 of 5,222 moderate and high-quality records were included in the scoping review. Eight themes emerged from the scoping review and interview process: informed consent and decision-making capacity; willingness to participate and compensation in research; risk-benefit consideration and perception; therapeutic misconception; participants safeguard; ethical issue in various study designs; research guidelines; and recommendations for the involved parties in schizophrenia research. We conclude that individuals with schizophrenia should actively participate in research decision-making, ensuring dignity and respect.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a gynecological complaint that occurs due to an imbalance in the hormone progesterone, resulting in pain that women often experience during menstruation.   One non-pharmacological way to deal with dysmenorrhea pain is to do abdominal stretching exercises. This study aimed to determine the effect of abdominal stretching exercise on reducing the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain in students of the Midwifery Diploma Study Program (MDSP), at Bengkulu University. This research was a pre-experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design, involving 57 respondents who experienced moderate-category primary dysmenorrhea. Samples were taken using a random sampling technique. Data was collected using Standard Operational Procedures for abdominal stretching exercises and the Wong-Baker pain rating scale to determine the scale of dysmenorrhea pain. The results of data analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed p-value = 0.000 with a significance level of α = 0.05. This indicates an effect of abdominal stretching exercises on reducing dysmenorrhea in students of the MDSP.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has shifted many jobs to be dominated by mental or cognitive activities. Consequently, it is essential to measure mental workload (MWL) to ensure it does not exceed workers' capacity, which could increase error rates, pose safety risks, reduce productivity, and worsen well-being. This study aims to investigate the relationship between objective and subjective measures of mental workload. Using an experimental approach, HRV physiological signals were recorded from 30 subjects under four different conditions: baseline, MWL test 1 ("d2 attention" test), MWL test 2 ("switcher featuring" test), and recovery. Subjects were also asked to complete the NASA-TLX questionnaire to assess their perceived mental workload levels during the "d2 attention" and "switcher featuring" tests. The results of the repeated measures ANOVA showed significant differences in six HRV parameters across the four conditions. However, post-hoc tests revealed that only heart rate was able to distinguish between the two MWL tests. While NASA-TLX was sensitive enough to differentiate mental workload levels between the two types of tests, no significant correlations were found between each HRV index and NASA-TLX. This suggests a discrepancy between the two types of measures. Further studies are needed to employ different types of tests as well as other physiological measures.
