Abstract

Stroke often results in physical disability and functional impairment, which may severely limit patients' ability to care for personal hygiene, including oral care. This study aimed to identify the challenges faced by informal caregivers in managing the oral health of stroke patients. This study conducted semi-structured individual interviews with eight home-based caregivers of stroke patients recruited from a community-based clinic facility of a public university in Malaysia. The interviews took 30-45 minutes to complete and were transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analyzed thematically using a phenomenological approach. Relevant themes that emerged were variations in oral hygiene care, caregivers’ concerns in providing oral care, dental clinic utilization, and caregivers’ perceived educational and training needs. This study highlights the challenges faced by caregivers in managing the oral health of stroke patients. Improving access to dental services for stroke patients and tailoring educational programs to suit the specific learning needs of caregivers, as identified in this study, may result in improved health outcomes for stroke patients.

Abstract

Cognitive impairment is a medical condition commonly found in elderly populations, which can be due to vascular risk factors in patients. There remains limited data on risk factors for cognitive impairment among coastal region populations. This study aimed to investigate risk factors for cognitive impairment in the adult population of Maringkik Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Data collected were age, sex, education level, hypertension, antihypertensive treatment, diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, and body mass index status. A total of 114 participants were recruited using a consecutive sampling method. The participants’ cognitive function assessment used the Mini-Cog instrument. The cognitive impairment frequency in the island’s adult population was approximately 48.2%. The final model of multiple regression analysis showed that hypertension (OR: 2.3; 95%CI: 1.0 – 5.0; p-value: 0.045) was a characteristic associated with the cognitive impairment frequency. Thus, the high frequency of cognitive impairment and hypertension frequency as primary risk factors for cognitive impairment in the island’s adult population implies the need to develop strategies for detecting and managing hypertension and hypertension-related cognitive impairment in the population by local health authorities.

Abstract

Hepatitis B vaccination is widely recognized as the most effective way to prevent hepatitis B infection, yet the rate of complete vaccination among Indonesian children remains low. This study aimed to evaluate the extent of hepatitis B vaccination coverage among children and identify potential associated factors in Indonesia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted. The study involved 7,860 Indonesian mothers of children aged 12-59 months, providing data on their children's hepatitis B vaccination status and other relevant factors from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey. Overall, the rate of complete hepatitis B vaccination among children was relatively high (89.8%). Several factors were found to be associated with complete hepatitis B vaccination among children: living in Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi compared to Sumatra; having an older mother; having parents with secondary or higher education compared to no education; having an employed mother; belonging to middle or high economic status compared to low economic status; having mothers using media irregularly or regularly, as opposed to never using media; having health insurance; and having a larger family size. These findings highlight the need for further interventions to optimize childhood hepatic vaccination coverage, which health policymakers should support.

Abstract

Several health risks are associated with performing Hajj pilgrimage. Food poisoning is a major cause of diarrhea and vomiting during Hajj. Food hygiene is an effort to control aspects of food, people, places, and equipment that could cause disease or health problems. This study aimed to describe food hygiene and sanitation efforts implemented in 2023 at the Jakarta Pondok Gede Hajj Embarkation Dormitory in Jakarta, implemented in 2023 to safeguard foods for the Hajj pilgrims. Using a descriptive qualitative design with a document analysis approach, this study examined activities during the pre-embarkation and embarkation periods. Pre-embarkation efforts included inspecting the kitchen environment and coaching the catering team, while during the embarkation period, activities involved checking the hygiene of catering services, inspecting foods brought by pilgrims, and assessing the quality of food and drink. This study found that the dormitory kitchen did not meet the necessary facilities and infrastructure requirements, affecting food safety. Additionally, food handlers did not fully comply with hygiene and sanitation standards. This study emphasized the necessity of meeting hygiene requirements in the kitchen, food handling, equipment, and ingredients since the pre-embarkation period.

Abstract

Continuous chemical dengue control can cause vector resistance and environmental pollution. Developing natural larvicides (bio-larvicides) from plant toxins like white chicory, which can poison Aedes aegypti larvae, is necessary for a sustainable alternative. This study aimed to analyze differences in active ingredients in white chicory leaves (Brassica pekinensis L) as bio-larvicide against Aedes aegypti larvae. This study was a pure experiment using a post-test-only control design using 1,225 Aedes aegypti instar III larvae with extracts of alkaloid active ingredients, flavonoids, and concentrations of 0%, 24%, 34%, and 40% with 3 times replication. Data were analyzed using a probit test, one-way ANOVA, and Post Hoc LSD. The results showed the potential of active ingredients in white chicory leaves against the death of Aedes aegypti larvae (p-value = 0.000). The average percentage of larval mortality concentration was 24%, 34%, 40%, in alkaloids was 41%, 60%, 66%, and in flavonoids was 45%, 64%, 68%. The active ingredient of white chicory leaves can kill Aedes aegypti larvae with LC50 in 29% alkaloids and 27% flavonoids.

Abstract

The Open Defecation Free (ODF) program was initiated by the government to increase access to healthy latrines. This study aimed to evaluate the ODF program using the CIPP evaluation model. A qualitative and exploratory descriptive method was adopted to investigate informants' experiences regarding the program's implementation. Data was explored through semi-structured interviews with 17 informants and analyzed using content analysis. The results showed that the program was crucial as numerous people engaged in open defecation due to economic, geographical, cultural, and knowledge factors. The absence of ODF policy was due to lack of priority, limited government and private support, insufficient human resources, inadequate infrastructure, and budget constraints. The ODF program was considered unimportant and tended to follow stunting programs, reflecting the low commitment. The biggest opportunity was implementing an integrated ODF with a stunting reduction program by allocating a special budget. Thus, primary health care is expected to optimize activities further to trigger the ODF program within the environment.

Abstract

During 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, different Indonesian provinces had different numbers of COVID-19 infections and fatalities, particularly in West Sumatra Province. This study aimed to investigate the variation of confirmed COVID-19 cases and determine predictors of mortality in hospitalized patients across districts in West Sumatra Province. A retrospective observational study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. From March 2020 to June 2021, 46,005 confirmed cases were collected in the province, of which 42,308 were hospitalized and analyzed. Confirmed cases and deaths were compared by geographic location using spatial analysis. The risk predictors of death were estimated using logistic regression. COVID-19 incidence and mortality varied across cities/districts, with less than 1,000 confirmed cases appearing to be the lowest number. A distinct pattern was visible nonetheless when the incidence density of confirmed cases and deaths was higher. Acute respiratory distress syndrome during the COVID-19 treatment had a higher risk of death (OR = 75.2, 95% CI: 25.6–250). The most significant predictors of death in terms of comorbidity were pneumonia, followed by cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, cardiac disease, and hypertension.

Abstract

Children under the age of five (the under-five) from low-income families are more vulnerable to experience underweight. This nutritional vulnerability is evident in the preliminary study, where 35.1% of the under-five experience underweight, and 28.48% are low-income families. This study aimed to explore Positive Deviance (PD) behaviors in preventing underweight among the under-five. The study applied a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection took place in July-August 2022, focusing on low-income families in the Gunung Brintik area. Data were collected through two focus group discussions, seven in-depth interviews, and five key informant interviews. Coding, subtheme, and theme development were facilitated using the ATLAS.ti trial package. Triangulation of the study results yielded four major themes influencing the prevention of underweight in the under-five: interventions by health workers and cadres, community awareness and concern, family support, and maternal nutrition literacy. The identified PD behaviors practiced by the community in the study location have been shown to contribute to the prevention of underweight in the under-five. Strengthening these identified PD behaviors and their implementation in other areas is essential to support efforts to combat underweight in the under-five.
