Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health concern with psychosocial impacts, such as reduced resilience and depression. This study examined the moderating role of perceived social support on the relationship between resilience and depression among individuals diagnosed with COPD in South Tangerang, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted between January and February 2024 using self-administered questionnaires. Participants were adult patients with clinically diagnosed COPD, recruited from all public health centers (PHC) in South Tangerang. A total of 125 participants met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Participants had a mean age of 41.46±15.69 years, with a balanced distribution (51.2% male, 48.8% female). Descriptive analysis showed high resilience (mean = 29.27±7.20), very high social support (mean = 70.36±14.47), and depression scores (mean = 4.65±4.59) below the cutoff. Moderation regression analysis using Hayes’ PROCESS Model 1 showed that resilience, with perceived social support as a moderator, explained 18% of the variance in depression scores (R² = 0.1807). These findings emphasized the importance of integrating psychosocial factors into COPD management. Strengthening resilience and social support within PHC settings may enhance mental health outcomes among COPD patients.

Abstract

Hepatitis B remains a major public health problem in Indonesia. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of hepatitis B patients in Jakarta to identify gaps in prevention and control and to explore relationships among KAP components. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 128 patients at a government hospital in South Jakarta, using a structured questionnaire that collected demographic information and assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding hepatitis B transmission and prevention. Despite moderate knowledge levels, major gaps remained. Only a small proportion (10.9%) correctly identified common symptoms, transmission routes (10.2%), and possible complications (18.8%). Misconceptions about transmission and vaccine safety were common, although attitudes toward early diagnosis and treatment were generally positive. Practices also fell within a moderate range; notably, 46.1% of respondents still shared personal items that could facilitate transmission. Higher education, vaccination, income, and awareness participation were associated with better knowledge, attitudes, and practices. There were positive correlations among knowledge, attitude, and practice scores, indicating that better knowledge may lead to improved behaviors. In conclusion, the study reveals persistent misconceptions and behaviors that continue to place hepatitis B patients at risk, despite generally positive attitudes toward care.

Abstract

Paracetamol is a widely used over-the-counter medicine for self-medication and is often perceived as completely safe. However, inappropriate use may result in hepatotoxicity and other adverse effects, particularly at high doses. This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess the general Indonesian population’s knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding paracetamol self-medication. The validation procedure consisted of three stages: content, face, and construct validation. Three experts assessed the relevance of the items using the Content Validity Index, and five respondents were interviewed to assess the linguistic clarity and comprehensibility of the questions. Construct validity and reliability were assessed in 30 participants using Pearson’s correlation and Cronbach’s alpha. All items obtained excellent relevance scores. The final questionnaire demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability after revising and removing two low-performing practice items (P3 and P4), with Pearson’s correlation coefficients exceeding the r-table threshold (0.361) and Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.766, 0.734, and 0.640 for the KAP domains, respectively. The final instrument, comprising 20 items (10 knowledge items, 6 attitude items, and 4 practice items), was deemed suitable for assessing public KAP regarding safe self-medication with paracetamol.
