Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases whose prevalence continues to increase and is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. This study aims to analyse the relationship between several risk factors, namely age, gender, marital status, education, family history, physical activity, stress, work environment, and diet, and the incidence of hypertension among fishermen, lecturers/employees, and street vendors in Medan City. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 176 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and blood pressure measurements, then analysed using the chi-square test. Results: The results of the study indicate that age (p = <0.001), marital status (p = <0.001), education (p = <0.001), physical activity (p = <0.001), Family history (p = 0.027), work environment (p = 0.026), and stress (p = 0.027) had a significant relationship with the incidence of hypertension. Meanwhile, gender (p = 0.076) and dietary patterns (p = 0.419) did not show a significant relationship. Conclusion: It can be concluded that behavioural and environmental factors such as age, stress, education, and work conditions were significantly associated on the incidence of hypertension than genetic factors and dietary patterns. Therefore, preventive efforts through health education and improvements in the work environment are essential to reduce the risk of hypertension among private sector employees.

Abstract

Background: National surveillance provides an overview of the overall burden of childhood pneumonia but offers limited insight into factors associated with pneumonia among children treated at individual healthcare facilities. Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital is a tertiary referral hospital in South Sumatra and therefore provides clinically relevant, although not population-representative, hospital-based evidence to complement national and provincial surveillance. This study aimed to examine factors associated with pneumonia diagnosis among children aged 1–60 months treated at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, using 2024 medical record data. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study included 123 children aged 1–60 months, using medical records from 2024, comprising 91 with pneumonia and 32 without. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participant characteristics. Bivariate analyses were performed using Pearson's chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using binary logistic regression. Results: Among the 123 children included in this hospital-based sample, 91 (74.0%) were classified as having pneumonia. Incomplete immunization was associated with higher odds of pneumonia (crude OR=7.82; 95% CI: 2.42–25.22; Fisher's exact p<0.001). Age ≤12 months, male sex, malnutrition, and absence of exclusive breastfeeding showed positive but statistically non-significant crude associations, with wide confidence intervals. Conclusion: Incomplete immunization was associated with higher odds of pneumonia in the bivariate analysis of this hospital-based sample. Because the estimate was unadjusted and the study was cross-sectional, hospital-based, and based on secondary records, adjusted studies with broader environmental and socioeconomic variables are required to confirm an independent association.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a major cause of disability that affects patients’ ability to perform activities of daily living and reduces their level of independence. Adequate knowledge regarding activities of daily living is essential in supporting the rehabilitation process and improving post-stroke independence. This study examined the association between knowledge of activities of daily living and functional independence among post-stroke outpatients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a purposive sampling technique. A total of 103 post-stroke patients attending follow-up visits at the Neurology Outpatient Clinic were recruited. Data were collected using an Activities of Daily Living Knowledge Questionnaire and the Barthel Index to assess patients’ level of independence. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Among 103 post-stroke patients, most respondents had moderate ADL knowledge and varying levels of functional dependence. ADL knowledge was significantly associated with independence level in the bivariate analysis (p = 0.006). However, after adjustment for demographic and clinical factors, age emerged as the strongest independent predictor of ADL impairment. Patients aged 65 years and older had substantially higher odds of dependence than younger patients, while ADL knowledge did not remain statistically significant in the final model. Conclusion: ADL knowledge was significantly associated with functional independence among post-stroke patients in bivariate analysis; however, age was the strongest independent predictor of ADL impairment after adjustment. These findings suggest that ADL education may support rehabilitation, but it should be integrated with targeted physical rehabilitation and caregiver involvement, particularly for older patients at higher risk of dependence.
