Abstract

Amidst Indonesia's aging population, this study explores key determinants influencing productivity, the indicators of functional abilities, among older adults in diverse urban/rural settings of East Java and Yogyakarta. The study design used a cross-sectional study surveyed 220 adults (≥60 years; mean age 65.3) via stratified probability sampling. Structured questionnaires assessed holistic health (biological, psychological, social, spiritual, cultural), active ageing determinants (social, habitual, physical, personal, economic, service access), and elderly capability improvement (physical, mental, social, spiritual, cultural health). Binary logistic regression identified predictors of productivity status. The study results showed that holistic health conditions (Exp(B) = 0.983, p = 0.050), active ageing determinants (Exp(B) = 1.16, p =0.000), and improvements in elderly capabilities (Exp(B) = 1.090, p = 0.005) were significant positive predictors of productivity. This Indonesian study demonstrates that specific active ageing determinants and enhanced capabilities are more critical to elderly productivity than general holistic health in a multivariate context. It highlights the need for targeted, regionally adaptable community interventions and age-friendly policies to support productive aging.

Abstract

Stone carving in Magelang Regency holds significant potential to enhance community welfare through industrial and tourism development, but it also presents health risks due to PM10 dust exposure exceeding safe limits. This study aims to identify respiratory health risks of stone craftsmen due to dust exposure with the incident of respiratory diseases, using a quantitative approach with observations and primary data collection from 60 respondents. Dust levels were measured using LVDS and HVDS, while the prevalence of Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) was determined through health examinations. Environmental Health Risk Analysis (ARKL) with the Risk Quotient (RQ) was applied to evaluate long-term exposure. Results showed dust concentrations of 12.941 mg/m³ in Sedayu and 17.647 mg/m³ in Banyudono, both above the threshold, with respiratory disorders more prevalent in Sedayu (53.3%) than in Banyudono (33.3%). RQ values above 1 in both villages indicate significant health risks, highlighting the need for improved PPE use, ventilation, routine air quality checks, and health monitoring to prevent respiratory issues.

Abstract

Preventing stunting necessitates collaborative efforts from multiple stakeholders, with the family being the most pertinent social unit in guaranteeing adequate nutrition for children.  The study aimed to examine the correlation between healthcare supports and family efforts in raising awareness about the risk of stunting in young children. This study used a cross-sectional survey that examined family characteristics and various efforts to prevent stunting in children within the community. In addition, the study investigated healthcare support and family awareness. A total of 200 mothers from families with stunted children participated in the study. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. Rank Spearman Correlation was used to investigate the correlation between healthcare worker support and the behaviors of mothers of toddlers with stunting before marriage, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding. The average age of mothers was 29.6 years, with the youngest being 20 and the oldest 46 years. The majority of the mothers had a high school education, were housewives, came from nuclear families, had access to clean drinking water, lived in clean and well-maintained homes, and had incomes below the regional minimum wage. Efforts to prevent stunting were fair before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding. Most of the support from healthcare workers in preventing stunting were classified as good. The analysis results indicate a significant positive relationship between healthcare worker support and the behaviours of mothers of toddlers with stunting, both before marriage and while breastfeeding (p<0.05). Our findings revealed that stunting was observed in families of productive age, with high school education, nuclear family structures, and low economic income below the regional minimum wage.  Preventive efforts have been made since before marriage, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding, but have not been fully optimized. Support from healthcare workers must be continually improved to meet the healthcare needs of families in an effort to prevent stunting in children.

Abstract

The results of the Immunochromatographic Method for Infectious Disease Testing (IMLTD) may vary depending on the presence of lipids in donor blood samples, potentially leading to false‐negative or false‐positive outcomes in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) screening. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lipid interference on HBsAg screening using the chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) method, to determine the range of triglyceride levels that may influence test results (100 mg/dL to >3000 mg/dL), and to assess practical lipid removal methods to ensure blood safety. An experimental laboratory study was conducted using two sample groups. The first group consisted of six bags of non-lipemic, HBsAg-reactive plasma that were rendered lipemic by the addition of Lipofundin. The second group included 25 bags of lipemic donor plasma that were non-reactive in the initial IMLTD screening and subsequently subjected to lipid removal treatments. Lipid reduction was performed using centrifugation, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and diethyl ether. The results showed no significant differences in HBsAg values before and after Lipofundin addition, indicating that lipemia did not affect HBsAg detection by the CLIA method. However, lipid removal using centrifugation, PEG, and diethyl ether significantly reduced triglyceride and total cholesterol levels (p < 0.05) in lipemic samples that interfered with CLIA analysis. In conclusion, lipemia does not directly affect HBsAg screening results using the CLIA method; however, lipid removal procedures are effective and necessary for managing highly lipemic samples to maintain the accuracy and reliability of blood screening tests.

Abstract

Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a significant health concern, categorised as a neglected tropical disease that requires substantial attention due to its high Case Fatality Rate (CFR) and associated mortality, especially in outbreak situations. DHF results from the dengue virus, categorised within group B of Arthropod-Borne Viruses (Arboviruses). The Bandung City Health Office reported 5,205 cases of dengue haemorrhagic fever in 2022 consisting of 2,646 (51%) male and 2,559 (49%) female patients. This study employs spatial analysis to chart the distribution of DHF cases, allowing for an assessment of potential spatial autocorrelation of DHF within the Bandung City region. This study on autocorrelation employed a retrospective cohort research design. This study focused on the incidence rates of DHF as reported by the Bandung City Health Office, with the analysis encompassing 30 sub-districts within Bandung City. The technique employed for sampling was total sampling. The independent variable in this investigation is the occurrence of DHF. The Moran I Index was employed in the spatial analysis to examine the distribution pattern of the variable. DHF incidence in 30 sub-districts of Bandung City is clustered with a Moran index value of 0.120934 in the interval 0 ≤ I ≤ 1, indicating positive spatial autocorrelation. The p-value of 0.001585 is smaller than the α value (5%), indicating statistical significance. The spatial pattern of DHF incidence is clustered, and there is autocorrelation between sub-districts in Bandung City in 2023. The distribution of DHF cases in Bandung City in 2023 is clustered. Scientific studies in the form of spatial analyses are recommended to be conducted in DHF endemic areas on a regular basis because they can provide basic information to support effective prevention and control of DHF cases.

Abstract

Diarrhea remains one of the leading causes of mortality among children under five years of age and ranks as the second most common cause of death among Indonesian children aged 12–59 months. Given its endemic nature and potential to cause outbreaks, identifying modifiable risk factors is essential for effective prevention. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with the occurrence of diarrhea among children aged 12–59 months in Bantul, Indonesia. An observational analytic study with a retrospective case–control design was conducted using purposive sampling. A total of 160 children aged 12–59 months were included, comprising 80 diarrhea cases and 80 controls. Data were collected from mothers using structured questionnaires, while children’s nutritional status was assessed using the Growth Monitoring Card. Data analysis was performed using chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression. The results demonstrated significant associations between diarrhea incidence and nutritional status (p = 0.041; OR = 2.343), economic status (p = 0.024; OR = 2.200), household water source (p = 0.016; OR = 1.209), hand-washing behavior (p < 0.001; OR = 3.646), and history of exclusive breastfeeding (p < 0.001; OR = 5.479). Multivariate analysis identified a history of exclusive breastfeeding as the strongest factor associated with diarrhea occurrence (p < 0.001; OR = 4.140; 95% CI: 1.938–8.843). In conclusion, diarrhea among children aged 12–59 months is significantly associated with nutritional status, socioeconomic conditions, water sources, hand hygiene practices, and exclusive breastfeeding history, with exclusive breastfeeding showing the greatest protective effect. Strengthening parental education and public health programs that promote exclusive breastfeeding is essential for reducing diarrhea incidence in young children.

Abstract

The maternal referral system is a crucial component of healthcare services designed to ensure the welfare of women and babies throughout pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum phase. This method allows pregnant women with complications to get improved and specialized healthcare treatments in adequately equipped and skilled maternity facilities. However, the effectiveness of maternal referral systems is sometimes hindered by several complex and interrelated concerns, especially in resource-limited countries. This research seeks to examine barriers in the maternal referral system. This study utilizes a scoping review of qualitative research techniques to analyze the PEO framework. The P (Population) component examines the attributes of pregnant women and healthcare professionals engaged in the maternal referral system. The E (Exposure) component examines the obstacles faced in the referral process. Finally, the O (Outcome) component examines the impact of these constraints on the quality and accessibility of maternal health care. This scoping review employs many databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Springer, and Google Scholar, to identify papers using the phrases "maternal referral system," "barriers," "healthcare services," and "health outcomes." The study results suggested that six publications identified several impediments hindering women's access to hospital delivery facilities and maternal referral systems. The inclination towards home birth is shaped by diminished autonomy, economic reliance, and the impact of socio-cultural norms, especially among young women and vulnerable populations, who often disregard referral advisories despite elevated risks. Obstacles within the healthcare system including inadequate coordination among hospitals, insufficient comprehension of referral standards, limited training for healthcare professionals, and challenges related to political and information technology infrastructure. Additional significant obstacles include inadequate communication prior to referral, insufficient referral paperwork, and a scarcity of ambulances and qualified medical staff. Moreover, women encounter mobility limitations, delays in accessing care, and disrespectful treatment from healthcare providers. The maternal referral system aims to improve its efficacy, efficiency, and responsiveness, hence resulting in enhanced health outcomes for mothers and newborns and reducing maternal and neonatal death rates.

Abstract

The worldwide prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to climb yearly, with 1.5 million fatalities directly related to DM each year. The number of common instances of DM has been progressively growing during the last several decades. Poor dietary management in people with DM is one of the difficulties that commonly leads to uncontrolled blood glucose levels. Purple sweet potato and red bean cookies are utilized as an alternative treatment for persons with DM because purple sweet potatoes and red beans offer benefits in the form of a low glycemic index and high anthocyanin and fibre content. The goal of this research was to show the efficacy of purple sweet potato and red bean cookies on fasting blood glucose levels in individuals with type II diabetes mellitus. This research approach is a randomized control trial with a pretest-posttest design. Research includes 60 respondents split into 2 groups, utilizing a basic random selection approach. The research was performed for 21 days from 23 September to 13 October 2024 at the Sukamakmur health center region, Aceh Besar. This research employed a pre-test post-test difference test utilizing the Wilcoxon test, and the test across groups using the Mann-Whitney test. The findings of the pre-test average fasting blood sugar levels of intervention group respondents revealed results of 230.07 mg/dL to 152.10 mg/dL post-test (p 0.000), whereas the control group average pretest GDP 226.40 mg/dL to 186.60 mg/dL post-test (p 0.001). This research revealed significant changes in both the intervention and control groups before and after treatment. Statistical findings indicated that purple sweet potato and red bean cookies were more successful in decreasing blood glucose levels than purple sweet potato 104-gram cookies. Purple sweet potato and red bean cookies are excellent to be utilized as nutritious and practical snacks as a support system for persons with DM.

Abstract

Self-care plays a critical role in the prevention and management of hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Orem’s Self-Care Theory on blood pressure reduction through resistance band exercise and almond chocolate consumption in hypertension patients. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used. The study involved 76 respondents with hypertension grade 1, divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group participated in resistance band exercises three times a week for 28 days and consumed almond chocolate, while the control group received standard antihypertensive treatment. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests with α < 0.05. The results showed a significant reduction in both systolic (p = 0.000) and diastolic (p = 0.002) blood pressure in the intervention group. Resistance band exercises enhanced vascular endothelial function, while almond chocolate stimulated nitric oxide synthesis, leading to vasodilation. These intervention aligned with Orem’s Self-Care Theory, highlighting the importance of individual commitment to health. The innovative aspect of this study lies in its integrated approach, as it is among the first to combine Orem’s Self-Care Theory with both physical (resistance band exercise) and nutritional (almond chocolate consumption) interventions for hypertensive patients. The study concludes that applying Orem’s Self-Care Theory through exercise and dietary changes effectively reduces blood pressure in hypertensive patients. It is recommended that health practitioners incorporate these self-care practices alongside the Patient-Centered Care (PCC) concept to address individual needs. This integrated approach can enhance hypertension management, improve blood pressure control, and boost patient satisfaction, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
