Abstract

In Indonesia, there were more than 58,000 new breast cancer cases with nearly 23,000 deaths in 2020. Radiotherapy is one of the adjuvant therapy modalities for breast cancer. Interruptions of more than five days increase the risk of local recurrence. This study aimed to describe the risk factors associated with prolonged overall treatment time (OTT) in breast cancer patients at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital during 2023. This was a cross-sectional study using bivariate logistic regression analysis to examine the association between national holidays, deterioration of general condition, age, residence, and type of surgery prior to radiation therapy with prolonged OTT. Data were obtained from electronic medical records, and a total population sampling method was applied, resulting in 261 post-surgical breast cancer patients who met the inclusion criteria, namely newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who had undergone breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or modified radical mastectomy (MRM) followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Patients were considered to have prolonged OTT if the interruption exceeded the number of recorded national holidays. Among the 261 patients, 21.8% (n = 57) experienced prolonged OTT. The highest proportion of prolonged OTT occurred in patients aged 50–59 years (43.9%), residing outside Semarang City/Regency (64.9%), undergoing MRM (77.2%), affected by national holidays (78.9%), and without deterioration of general condition (82.5%). Bivariate analysis showed that only national holidays and machine maintenance were statistically significantly associated with prolonged OTT (p < 0.001). As an effort to improve treatment outcomes, hospitals need to implement strategies to prevent prolonged OTT, including ensuring continuous access to radiotherapy without interruption due to machine maintenance.

Abstract

Non-adherence to scheduled antiretroviral (ARV) medication pickup can reduce treatment effectiveness, increase the risk of drug resistance, and contribute to poor HIV infection control. This study aimed to identify factors associated with missed ARV pickup appointments among people living with HIV/AIDS in Bekasi District. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from HIV/AIDS patients undergoing ARV therapy in 2023–2024. Data were analyzed descriptively (univariate), using Chi-square tests (bivariate), and log-binomial regression (multivariate). Among 811 patients, 341 (42%) were recorded as non-adherent to their medication pickup schedule. The results showed that having an unsuppressed viral load (>50 copies/ml) significantly increased the risk of non-adherence (PR: 2.23; 95% CI: 1.74–2.86; p<0.001). Additionally, patients who had been on treatment for more than five years showed a higher tendency for non-adherence, although this was not statistically significant (PR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.91–1.49; p=0.214). These findings highlight the importance of regular viral load monitoring and sustained support for long-term ARV patients to improve adherence.

Abstract

Stunting is still a nutritional problem and remains a major public health issue. Especially in Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting among children under two years old (toddlers) remains high, at 18.50%. The annual average rate of reduction of stunting among toddlers has been relatively slow for over the past 10 years. Therefore, optimizing stunting interventions-particularly during the first 1000 days of life is essential, including through antenatal care (ANC). This study aims to analyze the relationship between the quality of antenatal care and the incidence of stunting among children aged 6-23 months-old in Indonesia, after being controlled by the other variables, such are; sociodemographic factors, pregnancy’s health, and child’s health. This is a cross-sectional study, in which both of the exposures and the outcome were being measured at the same point of time. The data used are from the Indonesia Health Survey in 2023. There are 18.898 weighted-children aged 6-23 months-old and fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The analysis of association was conducted by cox-regression while the time-dependent methods and backward elimination were performed to control the covariate factors. Findings: Children aged 6-23 months-old in Indonesia, whose mothers receive low quality of antenatal care have a 1.23 times higher risk (aPR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.11-1.36, p-value = 0.000) of experiencing stunting, after controlling for the other covariate variables. Receiving at least four antenatal care (ANC) visits and accessing 10 cares can reduce the risk of stunting among children aged 6-23 months old in Indonesia.

Abstract

Leptospirosis remains a public health concern in Indonesia, including in Bantul Regency. Data from Sewon I Public Health Center (Puskesmas) indicate a high incidence of cases, particularly among housewives who are considered a high-risk group. Effective education is essential to improve leptospirosis prevention behavior. This study aimed to determine the effect of a marked booklet as an innovative health education medium on improving knowledge, attitudes, and preventive actions against leptospirosis among housewives. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group approach. A total of 60 respondents were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group, which received education using the marked booklet, and the control group, which received education through lectures. Instruments used included questionnaires and checklists. The results showed no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the experimental group showed significant improvements in knowledge (100% in the good category), attitude (increased to 70% in the good category), and preventive action (100% in the good category), with p-values < 0.05. In conclusion, the marked booklet was effective in improving leptospirosis prevention behavior and is recommended as an effective educational medium.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an endemic disease in Indonesia, with a high potential for outbreaks, particularly in tropical and densely populated regions such as Lubuklinggau City. This study aimed to assess the outbreak potential of DHF in Lubuklinggau by analyzing the five-year trend of minimum and maximum case numbers (2019–2023) and comparing them with 2024 data using the epidemic threshold approach. A descriptive ecological study design was employed, with all primary health centers (puskesmas) in the city as units of analysis. Data sources included annual DHF surveillance reports from the District Health Office, field observations, demographic data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), and rainfall distribution maps from the South Sumatra Meteorological Agency (BMKG). The findings revealed a significant increase in DHF cases in 2024, with a total of 284 cases and a monthly average of 23.67, exceeding the epidemic threshold of 16.85. Outbreak conditions were identified in six months: April, May, July, August, November, and December. Exceptionally high rainfall in November 2024 is suspected to have contributed to the spike in cases observed in December. The highest number of cases occurred in the service area of the Citra Medika Health Center, which has the second-highest population density in the city. The main risk factors identified included inadequate mosquito breeding site control (PSN) practices and limited laboratory diagnostic capacity. These results underscore the need to strengthen active surveillance at the primary healthcare level, implement widespread public education on the 3M Plus strategy, enhance community participation in larval monitoring and vector control activities, and improve laboratory capacity to support early diagnosis and effective outbreak response.

Abstract

Indonesia ranks second globally in the number of tuberculosis (TB) cases, accounting for 10% of all global cases. In the working area of Kenarilang Public Health Center, 951 confirmed TB cases were recorded as of October 2024. Close contacts of TB patients are at high risk of infection and may become new sources of transmission if not properly managed. Knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among close contacts play a crucial role in TB prevention, aligning with the target of TB elimination by 2030. This study aims to determine the relationship between the characteristics of close contacts and their KAP levels in TB prevention. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design involving 26 respondents in the working area of Kenarilang Public Health Center in November 2024. Data were collected using a structured KAP questionnaire and analyzed descriptively and bivariately. Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and logistic regression test were used according to data type and distribution. A total of 65.38% of respondents demonstrated good knowledge. Attitudes were evenly split between positive and negative (50%), with the highest agreement on the importance of preventive therapy (89.74%). Meanwhile, 57.69% showed good preventive practices. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between age and practices (OR=1,244; p=0,017), income and attitude (p=0.048), residence and practices (p=0.014), and marital status and practices (p=0.020). Demographic factors play a role in shaping responses to KAP aspects of TB prevention, although several gaps remain. Data-driven interventions targeting specific demographic groups may be effective strategies for TB control. Keywords : Knowledge, Attitude, Practice, Close Contact, Tuberculosis Prevention

Abstract

The rising prevalence of mental disorders among youth, including depression, anxiety, stress, and binge eating disorder (BED), has become a major concern in the context of global mental health. BED, as a form of eating disorder, often occurs with psychological conditions such as anxiety and depression, complicating diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and association between depression, anxiety, stress, and BED among youth in Greater Jakarta. Using a cross-sectional online design, data were collected from 231 participants aged 18-25 years through the Binge Eating Scale (BES) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Statistical analysis involved bivariate testing and logistic regression to identify risk factors and association among variables. This study indicated that BED prevalence was higher among female respondents and individuals with a BMI ≥25. Anxiety emerged as the primary factor increasing the risk of BED by up to four times, while stress was not a significant predictor. These findings emphasized the importance of early detection and psychological interventions, as well as preventive approaches such as routine screening and improved access to mental health services for youth. In conclusion, anxiety and obesity were key factors that need comprehensive management to reduce BED occurrence and enhance adolescent mental health. Keywords : Anxiety, Binge Eating Disorder, Depression, Stress, Youth

Abstract

Premature birth is leading causes of neonatal mortality. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), global premature birth rates reached 9.9% in 2020, it’s rising compared to preterm birth rates in 2010. One of the risk factors for preterm birth is the mother's age, which pregnant adolescents are more at risk of giving birth to preterm babies due to physiological, psychological, and socioeconomic immaturity. This study is an analytical study with a retrospective cohort design to determine the relationship between adolescents pregnancy and preterm birth. This study was conducted in Cengkareng General Hospital West Jakarta using patient’s medical record data. The population in this study were all pregnant women who were admitted to the hospital with signs of labor in the period of 1st January 2022 until 31st December 2022. Sampling was carried out using simple random sampling technique with a total of 141 respondents in each group of respondents who experienced adolescent pregnancies (10-19 years) as the exposed groups and the group of respondents who experienced pregnancies in healthy reproductive age (20-34 years) as the non-exposed groups. Data were analyzed using cox regression test. The analysis revealed that adolescent pregnancy increased the risk of premature birth by 3.57 times (RR adj= 3,57; 95%CI: 2,06-6,20; p= 0,000) after controlling for maternal education, occupation, marital status, gestational hypertension, and anemia.

Abstract

Oral and dental health is one of the indicators of health, well- being, and quality of life. In addition, poor oral health can increase the economic burden, including treatment costs, loss of work productivity, and worsen the burden of other diseases. Globally, the average prevalence of dental and oral diseases is around 45%. In 2023, dental and oral health problems in Indonesia reach 57,6%. This study aims to analyze risk factors for dental and oral health disorders among people aged 20-59 years based on regions in Indonesia. This study uses a cross- sectional design. The secondary data used is data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. The sample used was 479,886 respondents. The analysis was carried out by grouping by region Java-Bali and non Java-Bali. The dependent variable is dental and oral health disorders. The independent variables include age, gender, education level, place of residence, smoking status, consumption of sweet drinks, sweet foods, alcohol, frequency of tooth brushing, and visits to the dentist. Prevalence of dental and oral health disorders in Java-Bali (57,43%) and non Java-Bali (57,97%) is not significantly different. The highest risk factor in the Java-Bali and non Java- Bali regions is visits to the dentist in the past year. Therefore, there needs to be a national effort to encourage dental checkup as an important preventive care in the regions. Keywords: Dental and oral health, disorder, productive age, region
