Abstract

The use of men's modern contraceptives is much lower than among women in Indonesia and there are quite large differences when compared to several countries in Asia because the use of men's modern contraceptives from 2002-2012 in Indonesia was always low due to a lack of knowledge and negative perception about Family Planning. This study aimed to determine the role of knowledge and perceptions of family planning for use of men's modern contraceptives in Indonesia. This research method used a cross-sectional design on a secondary basis based on the 2017 IDHS. The result of this study is that there is a relationship between knowledge and perception of family planning in the use of men's modern contraceptives after being controlled by education level, area of residence, and fertility preferences. This study concludes that married men who use modern contraceptives are those who have good knowledge and positive perceptions about family planning, which are found in married men who have a high level of education, live in urban areas, and do not want to have children anymore. This study recommends a special male family planning program based on gender justice by prioritizing special substances regarding family planning knowledge and perceptions.

Abstract

Lifestyle and exposure of free radicals affect in a person’s fertility. ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) in excess can caused oxidative stress and DNA damage (deoxyribonucleic acid). Adequate intake of antioxidants is needed to maintain ROS level. This review’s aim is determine the types and sources of antioxidants that play a role in determining a person’s fertility level. This research is a narrative review using a literature review method by collecting and concluding data from previous studies. The search for previous research articles was carried out on the Scopus, Science Direct, Clinical Key, SpringerLink, BMC and Google Schoolar portals with keywords in the form is foodstuffs, antioxidants, and infertility which found 8,745 articles. Total of 75 articles met the inclusion-exclusion criteria for used in writing this article. The research was conducted in  2022. Most antioxidants take a role in determining male fertility, such as glutathione, selenium, carotenoids (beta-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, beta-carotene and lutein), zinc, vitamin C, vitamin E, and flavonoids. NAM (Nicotinamide) and carvacrol play a role in determining female fertility. These antioxidants can be found in fruits, vegetables, protein sources and several other plants. Consumption of antioxidant sources is highly recommended to increase fertility, especially for infertile couples.

Abstract

To curb the COVID-19 pandemic, the government distributed Sinovac vaccines. Sleep mediates immune function, including post-vaccination antibody response. This study aimed to analyze whether there was a difference in post-vaccination antibody levels in Sinovac vaccine recipients with poor and good sleep quality. This study used analytical observations of recipients of the two-dose Sinovac vaccine in 2021. Primary data included age, sex, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, and post-vaccination IgG-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels. The PSQI and IgG SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels were measured a month after the second vaccination. Participants with non-reactive antibody levels before the first vaccination were included, and participants with incomplete data were excluded. The Mann-Whitney test was used to look for associations between sleep quality and post-vaccination IgG SARS-CoV-2 levels. Univariate analysis showed that of 54 participants, 37 (68.5%) were male, and 28 (51.9%) had poor sleep quality. 15 participants (27.78%) were in the 36-45 age group, and median antibody levels in participants who received the second Sinovac Vaccine was 223.5 (199.01) units/mL. Post-vaccination IgG SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels were significantly associated with sleep quality (p=0.036).

Abstract

Stunting is a form of malnutrition that causes growth disorders characterized by height that is not in accordance with age. Around 8.9 million Indonesian children experience suboptimal growth. This study aimed to determine the social factors associated with the incidence of stunting in Indonesia. The method used were secondary data processing from Indonesian family data collection in 2021. The population of this data collection were 66.207.139 families from 33 provinces in Indonesia. The research sample were 38.886.147 families. The variables analyzed were indicators of pre-prosperous families, environmental facilities, high risk pregnancy in couples of childbearing age, with the risk of stunting. Data were analyzed using linear regression. The results showed that the determinants of stunting are maternal education, parental occupation and income, environment, social and family support, and health service factors. Based on the analysis, there is a relationship between the social determinants of health according to healthy people and the increase in stunting cases in Indonesia.

Abstract

Previous findings showed that there are only a few studies on the core problem of environmental sanitation in coastal areas. The study Mawar and Wahidah (2018), the coastal community of Percut Sei Tuan only uses 20% clean water, does not have a latrine 42.9%, and does not have a SPAL of 46.7%. Therefore, this study aims to examine the cultural, gender, and stakeholder aspects of community-based sanitation management (CBSM). A cross-sectional design was used, and the sample population consists of family heads in the Percut Sei Tuan Sub-district. The sample size was calculated using a category survey formula of 414 households from the population. The samples were selected using a simple random sampling technique, and a questionnaire instrument, which was tested for its validity and reliability was used for data collection. The data were then analyzed using CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) to assess the factors that influence CBSM. The results showed that gender roles have a significant effect on environmental sanitation management in coastal areas with a P0.001, and culture has a significant effect on CBSM with a P0.001. However, the role of stakeholders was insignificant in this study. CBSM in coastal areas was still very low in terms of participation in planning, implementation, and utilization. The involvement of women as an aspect of gender in the formation of a disciplined culture in sanitation management is very necessary to mobilize family members.

Abstract

Anxiety conditions and sleep disorders in pregnant women will affect theBrain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) level of the baby's umbilical cord blood, which will then affect the growth and development of the baby. This study aims to assess the relationship between maternal anxiety and sleep quality with neonates' BDNF levels. The research design was a cross-sectional study. Pregnant Women who gave birth by cesarean delivery method with a gestational age of ≥ 37 weeks, Totally 78 pregnant women were recruited. Anxiety levels and sleep quality were assessed by questionnaire, and BDNF levels were taken from the umbilical cord blood and then checked using the ELISA method. Data were analyzed by One-Way-Anova and Independent T-test. There was a significant association between anxiety levels and sleep quality with Neonatal BDNF levels (p = 0.000). The results obtained for pregnant women without anxiety, the mean level of BDNF is 2.017 ± 0.138 ng /ml, mild anxiety the mean value of BDNF level is 1.792 ±0.134 ng/ml, moderate anxiety the mean value of BDNF level is 1.708±0.177 ng/ ml, severe anxiety the mean value of BDNF levels was 1.585±0.257 ng/ml . Pregnant women with good sleep quality had the mean BDNF level of 1.969±0.211 ng/ml, while the mean BDNF level of poor sleep quality was 1.673 ±0.188 ng/ml. Conclusion: The higher the anxiety level of pregnant women, the lower the average Neonatal BDNF level is. The worse the sleep quality of pregnant women, the lower the average Neonatal BDNF level is.

Abstract

Healthcare Workers (HCWs) have a higher risk of getting Tuberculosis (TB) than the general population. This study analyzed effectiveness of Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) and T-SPOT.TB for detection prevalence of Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) among HCWs and the correlation between work locations and HCW duties. A trial study with a cross-sectional study design in Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, in December 2018. The sampling technique used consecutive sampling with 30 subjects. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 21 for Windows. The appropriate levels of TST and T-SPOT indicated substantial TB (K = 0.603, p 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of T-SPOT.TB with close contact was 60% and 86.7%. The sensitivity and specificity of TST with close contact were 33.3% and 93.3%. T-SPOT.TB was a significant correlation between the work location, the pulmonary care ward r = 0.436 and p = 0.008 (p 0.05). T-SPOT.TB has a slightly better sensitivity than TST.

Abstract

Farmers in Linggasari Village often mix pesticides, did not use pesticides that follow the dose, did not use PPE completely, eat, drink or smoke did not clean themselves after spraying. Some types of pesticides can reduce cholinesterase enzyme and hemoglobin levels. The study aimed to analyze the factors that correlated with cholinesterase enzyme and hemoglobin levels of spraying farmers. This was a cross-sectional study conducted from March to April 2022. The population of this study was all farmers who use pesticides, as many as 30 farmers qualify the inclusion criteria, namely male spraying farmers aged over 18 years, the maximum last contact time with pesticides was two months before the study was conducted. The independent variables were age, BMI, working period, frequency of spraying, duration of spraying, and PPE usage score. The dependent variables included cholinesterase and hemoglobin levels. Bivariate analysis was assessed with Pearson Correlation Test or Spearman Correlation Test, while multivariate analysis used linear regression. The results showed that age (p=0,032, r=0,391) and BMI (p=0,036, r= 0,385) correlated with cholinesterase enzyme, and age (p=0,000, r=0,615) correlated with farmers' hemoglobin levels. The results of multivariate analysis that the most influential factor on cholinesterase enzyme and hemoglobin levels was age.
