Abstract

The number of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) worldwide continues to increase. In 2019, Indonesia was the seventh country with the largest number of people with DM worldwide. The people with DM in Indonesia were dominated by the productive age population. This study aims to determine the variables affecting the prevalence of DM in Indonesia in 2018. The analysis unit used is 34 provinces in Indonesia, where the data comes from the Health Ministry of the Republic of Indonesia and Statistics Indonesia. Graph analysis and multiple linear regression are the methods used in this study. DKI Jakarta has the highest DM prevalence in Indonesia, reaching 3.4 percent. The prevalences of obesity and hypertension have a positive effect on the prevalence of DM. The result shows that every one percent increase in the prevalence of obesity will increase the prevalence of DM by 0.049 percent. While, every one percent increase will increase the prevalence of DM by 0.168 percent. The percentage of the population smoking, not exercising, the unemployment rate, and the average length of schooling does not affect the prevalence of DM in Indonesia.

Abstract

Adolescents were susceptible to problems and negativity during the pandemic times. There was an increase in adolescents’ consumption of unhealthy foods by 36%, an increase in body weight by 48%, and a decrease in physical activity and exercise by 43% globally. To function optimally in this situation, adolescents needed to do healthy lifestyle behaviour. Adolescents tended to do this when they could love themselves, which was carried out by applying self-compassion and participating in activities that benefit health. This study was conducted in 2021 and aimed to determine the relationship between self-compassion and adolescent participation in healthy lifestyle behaviour. This study used a cross-sectional design. The population was adolescents in Kediri, aged 15-19. The sample was obtained by cluster sampling, totaling 111 respondents. Independent variables were self-compassion and adolescent participation. The dependent variable was healthy lifestyle behaviour. Data were collected by questionnaires and analyzed by regression. Results showed that variables related to healthy lifestyle behaviour were self-compassion and adolescent participation (p0.001). There was a significant relationship between self-compassion (p=0.02) and participation (p0.001) with healthy lifestyle behaviour. Self-compassion and participation were predictors of healthy lifestyle behaviour, simultaneously and individually. Based on the results, adolescents needed to increase their understanding and practice of self-love in performing healthy lifestyle behaviour.

Abstract

Muhammadiyah, being one of the religious-based organizations, has its affiliated members comprising 14,9% of the general Indonesian population. The Muhammadiyah Central Board declared an ad-hoc group called the Muhammadiyah COVID-19 Command Centre (MCCC) to combat COVID-19. Among the used media were the third COVID-19 guidelines publications by the MCCC. This study aimed to determine the Muhammadiyah members’ understanding of the COVID-19 Revision III Guidelines based on their consistency, clarity, relevance, credibility, and interest. This research was a descriptive qualitative type of study. The eleven informants who participated in this study, determined by purposive sampling, were Muhammadiyah members who lived and worked in the Jakarta. These Informants consisted of various professions, including health workers, teachers, district board members, nurses, drivers, traders, housewives, and students. Data collection was by online focus group discussions through the zoom cloud meetings platform. Informants discussed the five aspects of the guideline which included consistency, clarity, relevancy, credibility and interest. The contents of the guideline were found to be consistent with other similar guidelines published by the Ministry of Health (MOH). In addition, being affiliated members of the Muhammadiyah group, informants felt more comfortable trusting the Muhammadiyah-published COVID-19 guidelines. From the clarity and relevance aspect, the informants had positive perspectives on the guidelines. The design of the published guidelines attracted their interest in reading, implementing, and sharing the guidelines with others. However, the guideline did not contain the names of its drafting team nor the introduction by the Central Board leadership. It would have been a very important strategy in strengthening the credibility of the media published by the MCCC. The MCCC needed more enticing plans and methods in the dissemination of its online or printed media to the population. For online media, the published number of pages should be fixed to a less readable number.

Abstract

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, first-time mothers experience significant physical and psychological transitions. In these maternal terms, a mother demands a supportive environment to achieve a healthy pregnancy outcome. The perspective of the support recipient, in this case, the mother cannot be quantified quantitatively. It is open to multiple interpretations and is even highly subjective. So there is no appropriate level of consistency as a universal measuring tool. This study is to develop and validate an instrument for assessing Father Support During Pregnancy (FSDP) as seen by the mother by descriptive exploratory design to explore what mothers need from their husbands during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The subjective answer of 616 pregnant mothers in the second and third trimesters in June – December 2020 of four primary health care in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The four factors dimension include; emotional support; instrumental support; informational support; and appraisal support are considered as the model to achieve in this test and then validated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Data were obtained via an online survey several times. This study succeeded in constructing an instrument to measure the function of a husband’s social support for his wife during pregnancy. This instrument is considered valid after going through the description and verification stages. However, because this is the first time, it requires a further maturation process, especially for participants with different sociodemographic characteristics, such as the upper-middle class. Several indicators with a loading factor value below 50% need to be considered again to be tested simultaneously on different target participants.
