<![CDATA[Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted through the bite of the Aedes mosquito. Dengue fever is a public health problem worldwide, including in Indonesia. The increase in dengue cases is closely related to the presence of mosquito vectors. The prevention of dengue outbreaks is by fogging focus. Until now, there is no method to evaluate the effectiveness of focal fogging, yet many suspect that fogging focus is less effective because the incidence of DHF tends to increase over several decades. The study aims to find a method to evaluate the effectiveness of fogging with a spatial-temporal approach. It is an observational study using data on the incidence of DHF along with the date of illness, coordinates of DHF patients, and the date of fogging obtained from the District Health Office. Data processing is by ArcMap 10.5. Determination of the time limit and extent of protective fogging is based on the provision that if in the buffer area within a radius of 200 meters, there is more than one case of DHF on days 4-21 after the patient has a fever, then fogging is declared ineffective. There were 1,070 cases of DHF in 2008-2013 in Sleman Regency. 773 (72.24%) cases were fogged, while 290 were not. Of the 773 fogged cases, 59 (7.63%) were within the time and place of fogging protection. It means that the effectiveness of fogging in Sleman Regency reached 92.37%. Overall, there were 59 of 1,070 (5.5%) DHF cases came from ineffective fogging. By spatio-temporal approach, the fogging focus has been quite successful in suppressing the incidence of DHF in the Sleman Regency. In the future, it is necessary to consider fogging is focused other than in the patient’s house and surroundings.]]>

<![CDATA[Indonesia has the highest rate of early marriage in the world, according to a UNICEF study, placing 15th out of 63 countries. Child marriage will make it much harder for Indonesia to obtain a high human development index and meet sustainable development goals. To determine whether Communication, Information, and Education (CIE) regarding maturing age at marriage through the Interprofessional Education (IPE) approach affected the students' self-awareness. An experimental study with one group pre-test and post-test design was conducted on 121 participants. They were selected using random sampling from 16-30th August 2021 in Hidayatul Mubtadiat Islamic boarding school, Puri sub-district, Mojokerto district, East Java province, Indonesia. The intervention group attended a workshop led by a religious leader, psychologist, and maternity nursing lecturer, completed by a follow-up program. The data was collected using the self-awareness questionnaire modified from the Situational Self-Awareness Scale (SSAS). IBM SPSS (v.28) was used to analyze the data, including statistical tests such as descriptive statistics and a paired t-test for comparing the mean scores. A 5% level of significance was considered. After interventions, there was a significant self-awareness score improvement (p-value 0.000 and T value = -15.9). The participants had self-awareness in the good category of 60.3 %. Up from 17.4 % before the intervention with a change in mean + standard deviation (SD) pre-post 57.8 + 7.2 to 66.2 + 7.0. Meanwhile, the number of participants who had less self-awareness before the intervention (42.1%) decreased to 5% after the intervention. The study's findings verified the effectiveness of the CIE strategy to enhance self-awareness among adolescent girls using the IPE method. The supply of CIE on the maturity of marriage age with an interprofessional education approach is the proper step to raise adolescents' self-awareness in the right decision-making process. So that they can avoid early marriage deliberately and independently. ]]>

<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) reflects atherosclerosis. Studies reported hypertension prevalence among diabetes mellitus (DM); however, limited studies provided community prevalence. Present study aimed to explore ISH prevalence among DM in Indonesia. This study obtained data from the 2018 Indonesian basic health survey. The DM category was determined by fasting plasma glucose (PG) level ≥126 mg/dL or 2-hours postprandial and random PG level ≥200 mg/dL or previously diagnosed by a doctor. ISH is categorized if systolic blood pressure is≥140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure is 90 mmHg. This study also explored the subject's determinants, i.e., compliance, demography, and lipid profile. A Chi-square and Binary logistic regression were used to determine the association. The study included 3,911 DM individuals and disclosed the prevalence of ISH 17.5%. ≥65 years old (OR=13.61 95%CI: 3.297-19.365) and 45-64 years old OR=4.59 95%CI: 3.297-6.383)), high HDL-cholesterol (OR=0.77; 95%CI: 0.626-0.936), and longer DM duration (OR=2.89; 95%CI: 2.405-3.474), all together were related to the ISH. Subjects with the oldest age category, i.e., ≥65 years old, had the highest OR. Older DM individuals with low HDL-C and longer DM duration were related to the ISH, suggesting lipid profile treatments, mainly the HDL-C, is a pivotal effort to delay ISH.]]>

<![CDATA[Children are very susceptible to TB infection. One of the causes of TB in children is nutritional status. Poor one causes a weak immune system, making contracting tuberculosis easier. In addition, living conditions can spread to children due to contact with active pulmonary TB in one household. This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status and living conditions with TB incidence in children. This case-control study involved 76 samples consisting of 38 cases and 38 controls. Research subjects were taken using the purposive sampling method. The subjects were children aged 0-18 years diagnosed with TB based on anamnesis, physical examination, tuberculin skin test, and chest X-ray. This study was conducted at Bhakti Medicare Sukabumi Hospital from July to December 2019. The results of the Chi-square test found that there was a relationship between nutritional status (p=0.023), ventilation area (p=0.043), and humidity (p=0.001). There is no relationship between age (p=0.639), gender (0.490), parental education (p=0.803), lighting (p=0.200), temperature (0.260), density (p=1.000), and type of floor (p=0.240).]]>

<![CDATA[Stunting is a form of failure to thrive which reflects chronic and multidimensional nutritional problems. This study aims to analyze the relationship between a mother's education level, exclusive breastfeeding, and a history of infectious disease on stunting at the age of toddlers (6-60) months. The research design was cross-sectional with a purposive sampling technique. This study was conducted on mothers who have toddlers aged (6-60) months in the working area of the Seberang Padang Health Center as many as 60 people. Data collection techniques in this study were through survey methods and direct interviews with mothers who have toddlers. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding (p-value = 0.001; 0.067) and a history of infectious disease (p-value = 0.028; 0.218) with stunting. However, there is no significant relationship between a mother’s education level and stunting. This research can be said that exclusive breastfeeding and a history of the disease are the risks of stunting. The need for special attention and improvement of health promotion and education programs for the Seberang Padang Health Center in preventing stunting in toddlers.]]>
