Abstract

Low exclusive breastfeeding rates among the Karen ethnic group in Northern Thailand's remote rural areas underscore the need to understand knowledge, attitudes, and social support to develop targeted interventions. This qualitative study examined exclusive breastfeeding practices and the factors influencing breastfeeding behavior among 14 Karen Ethnicity Mothers (KEMs) in Northern Thailand. A structured interview was used to collect the data, a triangular method to determine the data's validity, and a content analysis method to examine the data revealed seven themes and 14 subthemes. This study identified three key factors for successful breastfeeding: self-motivation, social support, and effective problem management, which included overcoming the family's anti-breastfeeding beliefs. Conversely, unsuccessful breastfeeding stemmed from four issues: inadequate maternal knowledge and misconceptions, family beliefs and culture, maternal health problems, and economic constraints. Therefore, the success of breastfeeding was heavily influenced by both personal and environmental factors. As a result, every KEM should be encouraged to recognize the importance of breastfeeding and to exclusively breastfeed for at least six months, especially those living in remote rural areas and have a different way of life than the natives.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify medical students’ healthy lifestyle behaviors during the new normal era and to determine its relationship with sociodemographic factors, bearing in mind that, as future physicians and health role models, medical students play an important role in adopting and promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors to reduce the risk of future health problems as well as optimize communities’ health status. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences of Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya, with 111 medical students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using sociodemographic characteristics (sex, residence, year of study, and participation in health promotion training) and the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and bivariate analyses. The results showed a moderate total HPLP-II score (2.46± 0.37). Interpersonal relations had the highest mean score, and health responsibility had the lowest. A significant difference in the total HPLP-II scores was identified between students participating in health promotion training and those who did not (p-value = 0.049). Further study is needed to explore other factors influencing healthy lifestyle behaviors among medical students.

Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to compare the prevalence of multisystem health symptoms (MHS) of workers in gas station areas before and after their employment and examine the factors affecting the MHS of workers. Data were collected by an interview questionnaire from 200 workers inside and outside refueling areas at eight gas stations in Rayong Province, Thailand. This study found that employees had a statistically significant increase in the prevalence of current MHS in comparison to before starting work (p-value<0.05), with 31.5%. Working overtime for more than 6 hours per week led to respiratory symptoms (OR = 2.63, 95% CI = 1.14–6.07) and psychological symptoms (OR = 2.69, 95% CI = 1.12–6.49). Wearing respiratory protective equipment for less than three hours affected ear/throat/nose systems (OR = 4.26, 95% CI = 1.43–12.65). Petrol refueling resulted in liver (OR = 2.32, 95% CI = 1.4–12.65) and eye symptoms (OR = 2.57, 95% CI = 1.10–5.39). Therefore, gas station owners should set up enclosed rooms to reduce the duration of fuel exposure, and workers should wear personal protective equipment when refueling or near the dispenser.

Abstract

Diabetes, a leading cause of 6.7 million deaths in 2021, poses a significant challenge despite existing interventions. Non-adherence to treatment remains a barrier to diabetes management. However, a comprehensive instrument to assess medication adherence determinants in diabetes patients’ population in Indonesia with low-medium literacy levels and following the sociocultural characteristics of Indonesian society has been lacking. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a valid and reliable instrument for measuring medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients based on the Borg and Gall model. Through the input of an expert panel, a valid and reliable instrument was developed, which comprised 21 questions and encompassed all medication adherence determinants, with a CVR and CVI value of 1 and a final Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.731. This instrument is still being tested and needs to be implemented in the right and wider population to obtain more accurate results.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the workload for nurses directly handling COVID-19 patients and those working in non-COVID-19 zones. As the number of COVID-19 cases rises, nurses face psychological problems, including stress. This study aimed to determine the relationship between workload and stress levels in a non-COVID-19 zoning ward using a cross-sectional approach and Spearman’s correlation test conducted on 94 nurses at one hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia, selected through simple random sampling. The workload questionnaire with 15 items and the DASS 42 questionnaire were used to measure stress levels. The results indicated that most nurses (73.4%) experienced a heavy workload. Regarding stress levels, most nurses (66%) reported severe stress, while a small number experienced mild (2.1%) and moderate stress (2.1%). The Spearman’s test revealed a significant relationship between workload and stress levels in the non-COVID-19 zoning ward (p-value = 0.001). Based on these findings, hospitals are urged to effectively manage nurses’ workload during the COVID-19 pandemic and implement specific interventions for nurses experiencing occupational stress.

Abstract

Despite the numerous benefits of palliative care for cancer patients, there have been few studies on palliative care services for terminal cancer patients, particularly near the end of life. This study aimed to evaluate whether there were differences in length of stay and cost of care associated with how early or late a patient received palliative care intervention. Another objective was to compare the length of stay and cost of care of those who received palliative care intervention and those who did not. This study used a cohort retrospective design at Hospital A, Jakarta, Indonesia, from January to December 2019. The diagnosis of terminal cancer was based on medical records. Data on length of stay and costs of care were based on medical records and finance billing. The hospitalized terminal cancer patients (392) were recruited by consecutive sampling. The length of stay and costs of care for patients with advanced cancer who received palliative care consultations were longer and higher than for patients who did not receive them. However, if palliative care consultation is provided early, the increase in length of stay and costs are less.

Abstract

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypical multiorgan autoimmune disease with a fluctuating and chronic disease course. As an emerging disease in this century, SLE will burden stakeholders and the country. This study was conducted to determine the prognostic factors for SLE worsening, especially in ambulatory patients. This ambispective study used logistic regression to view the risk factors for worsening SLE in patients. Anemia, age, body mass index, education level, employment status, marital status, hydroxychloroquine, and immunosuppressants were the independent variables in this study. This study concludes that anemia is statistically significant and, therefore, a risk factor for worsening SLE in patients (RR = 5.31; p-value

Abstract

The estimated prevalence of postpartum depression differs in developed and developing countries. Due to the increasing number of cases in developing countries like Indonesia, postpartum depression has become a serious issue. This study aimed to identify factors influencing postpartum depression in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, in 2023 using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale instrument. This study employed a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 251 respondents, selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria using a purposive sampling technique. The multiple logistic regression results indicated that women with abortion records had a three times higher risk (95% CI = 1.394–7.648; p-value = 0.013) of experiencing postpartum depression after controlling for other variables (record of depression, employment status, education, and family support). Postpartum women should be followed by midwives and given regular assistance from their loved ones, such as their spouse or family, to prevent depression. These experts can monitor the mother’s well-being and share information on maternal and infant health.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is transmitted through the bites of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes and is still becoming endemic in Bogor District. This quantitative correlation study with an ecological approach aimed to analyze how DHF incidence is influenced by climate factors, population density, Larvae Free Rate (LFR), and the area altitude factor. Secondary data were obtained from the Bogor Regency Health Office; the Central Bureau of Statistics of Bogor District; and the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency. In this study, the spatial analysis method was also used, but only on the area altitude factor. The study’s results showed a significant relationship between climate factors, such as air humidity at a Time Lag of 0 months (r=0.394) and the altitude factor (r=-0.350), and DHF incidence in the Bogor District from 2017 to 2022. Spatial data shows that in districts with lower altitudes, such as Cibinong, Cileungsi, and Gunung Putri, DHF incidence tends to be higher. The Bogor District Health Office, together with the community, may enhance efforts to prevent and control DHF, especially during seasonal transitions and in areas with lower altitudes. Cross-sector collaboration with the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency is also necessary to remain vigilant during climate fluctuations.
