Abstract

Background: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) cannot be left without action because it can cause severe stomach irritation in the long term, leading to stomach ulcers and infection. Purpose: This study aims to analyze factors related to the incidence of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in students. Methods: This type of research in analytical survey research. The design of this research is case control. The population in this study were students of Universitas Prima Indonesia, class of 2021, in the public health study program and the information systems study program, totaling 1,473 students. The sample in this stufy was a portion of the student population which was divided into case and control groups. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-square test to determine the description and relationship of risk factors with the incidence of GERD. Results: The result showed that the eating habits variable (p = 0,000; OR = 19,12; 95% CI = 6,376-57,369), coffee consumption variable (p = 0,001; OR = 4,93; 95% CI = 1,986-12,262), stress level variable (p = 0,001; OR = 4,52; 95% CI = 1,952-10,508), and body mass index variable (p = 0,000; OR = 5,63; 95% CI = 2,362-13,420) has a significant relationship with the incidence of GERD in students. Conclusion: reducing the consumption of ready-to-eat food and reducing the lifestyle of modern society which consumes excessive coffee and doing positive things to maintain stress levels are very important things to increase public awareness in order to minimize the risk of GERD.

Abstract

Background: The role of housewives, particularly those with toddlers, is physically and mentally demanding, often leading to high stress levels and workload. Purpose: This study examined the relationship between physical activity and mental workload among homemakers. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing the IPAQ-SF and RSME questionnaires to assess physical activity and mental workload. The study included 46 participants, most of whom were young mothers with one child and had a high school education. Results: The mothers had a high level of physical activity (16,479.85 ± 16,983.35 MET-min/week) and experienced a considerably quite large workload (mean score: 72.90). However, there was no significant relationship between physical activity and mental workload (β = 0.28, p > 0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the physical and mental demands on homemakers are substantial, yet these factors may not directly influence their life satisfaction, highlighting the need for further research into the contributors to their well-being.

Abstract

Background: The study in Asian and American-based surveillance data between Oct 18, 2011, and Aug 4, 2016 required 7428 patients with an estimated 2694 (36%) diagnosed laboratory-confirmed dengue, 2495 (34%) non-dengue and 2237 (30%) not inclusion criteria. The clinical signs and suspected dengue symptom address a few other diseases, thus laboratory confirmatory is best solution for diagnosis of dengue. Purpose: To determine the difference between clinical epidemiological and laboratory diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever in Kebumen District. Methods: The study design was cross-sectional with 395 samples of suspected dengue disease during the 2023 period, such as DHF and DD in Kebumen District area health services. The DHF diagnostic was confirmed with positive laboratory test and studied to see differences of the clinical epidemiology and laboratory data. The data collection was carried out by reviewing medical documents from health centers and hospitals. Data were analyzed with chi square test and independent t test. Results: Clinical indicators proportion was higher for fever, 95.40% and much lower for bleeding 13.20%. The dominant contribution significant for clinical epidemiology indicator of DHF is muscle pain compared to bleeding and rash. The laboratory indicator   for platelet is low, hemoglobin normal and hematocrit   normal. The variable contributing significantly for DHF is platelet (β = 0.19) and comparison of hemoglobin (β = -0.09) and hematocrit (β = -0.06). Conclusion: Clinical indicators of DHF are higher for fever (95.40%), with muscle pain being the dominant factor. Laboratory indicators include low platelet count and normal hemoglobin and hematocrit.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of respiratory tract infection (RTI) in Class IIA Correctional Institution (Lapas) Kendal is notably high. RTI consistently ranks as the most common illness occurring each month, accounting for over 50% of all diseases within the facility. Previous research has indicated that one of the contributing factors to RTI is poor sanitation conditions within the correctional institution. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between sanitation perceptions and the incidence of RTI in Class IIA Correctional Institution Kendal. Methods: This quantitative study uses a cross-sectional research design with a sample of 294 inmates from the Class IIA Correctional Institution Kendal. The sample was selected using total sampling, involving all inmates in the facility. A Chi-Square test was applied for bivariate analysis. Results: The variable of sanitation perception showed a significant relationship with the incidence of RTI in Class IIA Correctional Institution Kendal. The p-value for the Pearson Chi-Square test was 0.00. Sanitation perception factors included building indicators (p=0.02), room indicators (p=0.54), drinking water indicators (p=0.06), and waste indicators (p=0.00). Conclusion: Sanitation perception factors, such as building indicators and waste indicators, are associated with the incidence of RTI in Class IIA Correctional Institution Kendal. Meanwhile, room indicators and drinking water indicators were not related to the incidence of RTI. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, it is necessary to implement the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) concept within the correctional institution to minimize the transmission of RTI.

Abstract

Background: Non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for approximately 75% of global mortality. Hypertension, a significant contributor to NCD-related deaths, affects an estimated 1.28 billion adults globally and is often referred to as "The Silent Killer." The increasing prevalence of NCDs, including hypertension, poses significant challenges to the global health system. In Ponorogo Regency, hypertension cases surged from 41,841 in 2021 to 126,668 cases in 2023. Analyzing the risk factors of hypertension is essential to mitigate its health impact on the community. Purpose: To analyze the risk factors of hypertension cases in the Plosojenar Village, Ponorogo Regency community. Methods: This quantitative study employed a case-control design with 154 participants. The case group comprised 77 individuals with hypertension, and the control group included 77 non-hypertensive individuals, selected through random sampling at a 1:1 ratio. Data were collected from January to April 2024 using questionnaires. Bivariate analysis was conducted using Chi-square and Fisher’s tests. Results: This study found a significant association between family history OR 13.67 (95%CI = 5.63 - 39.17); p = 0.00, level of knowledge OR 26.25 (95%CI = 3.96 - 1.11); p = 0.05, and rest habits OR 0.18 (95%CI = 0.03 - 0.70); p = 0.08 to hypertension cases. This study also showed no significant relationship between attitude OR 0.88 (95%CI = 0.32 - 2.37); p = 1 with hypertension cases. Conclusion: Family history, knowledge level, and rest habits are significantly associated with hypertension. Targeted interventions addressing these factors may help reduce hypertension cases.

Abstract

Background: Immunization is one of the best ways to prevent childhood diseases. The pentavalent vaccine protects against five serious illnesses with fewer injections. It is cost-effective and usually causes fewer adverse events following immunization (AEFI). However, there are still limited data on AEFI after giving the pentavalent vaccine, compared to giving the DPT, Hep-B, and Hib vaccines separately. Purpose: To determine the proportion and factors associated with adverse events following immunization with pentavalent vaccines. Methods: This was a descriptive study conducted at an immunization clinic in a tertiary care center in India between January 2023 and December 2023. The study population consisted of all infants attending the clinic for vaccination, and all eligible infants receiving pentavalent vaccines were included in the study. The study was done to understand the frequency and type of AEFIs and to ensure the vaccine safety. Results: A total of 93 infants were included in this study, and 264 adverse events were noted in our study. Fever was the most common presenting adverse effect (22.73 %), other adverse effects were pain at injection site (21.21%), swelling at injection site (15.53%), redness at site of injection (14.39%), 10.60% held their leg back due to pain, persistent crying (9.47%) and abscess formation (4.55 %.), and seizures (1.52%). Conclusion: Most of the adverse effects observed in present study were of mild nature and of non-serious type. No major AEFI or permanent damage was noted in our study. The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.

Abstract

Background: Myopia is the inability to view distant objects. Most cases of myopia occur in school-age children. Working and studying from home due to the COVID-19 epidemic exacerbates myopia concerns. The Kediri City Health Office reports that school-age myopia cases rose in 2022. Purpose: This study aims to identify the risk factors of myopia related to smartphone usage among elementary school students in Kediri City. Method: This study is an observational study with a case-control approach. Random sampling is used in the sampling procedure. There were 144 participants: 72 students in the case group and 72 in the control group.  Independent variables include smartphone duration, using a smartphone in a low-light environment, using a smartphone before sleep, and using a smartphone at an early age. Result: The study's findings revealed all factors were associated with myopia: smartphone duration (p-value = 0.001; OR = 4.5), using smartphone in low-light environment (p-value = 0.001; OR = 3.4), using smartphone before sleep (p-value = 0.001; OR = 3.3), and using smartphone in early age (p-value = 0.000; OR = 12. 4). Conclusion: This study shows that the duration of smartphone use of more than 3 hours increases the risk by 4.5 times, using a smartphone in low-light environment increases the risk by 3.4 times, using a smartphone before bed increases the risk by 3.3 times, and the risk of myopia increases 12.4 times for smartphone use at a younger age in elementary school students in Kediri City.

Abstract

Background: Measles, caused by a virus belonging to the genus morbillivirus of the paramyxoviridae family, remains a global health challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected measles prevention activities. Understanding measles characteristics before and during the pandemic is important to developing effective prevention programs. Purpose: This study aims to analyze measles suspects' epidemiological characteristics before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This study used a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all measles suspects before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data sources were the results of tracing measles suspects and the results of examination of BBLK Surabaya measles specimens (measles IgM) before the pandemic (2017-2019) and during the pandemic (2020-2022). The correlation test was carried out using Chi-square analysis. Results: The analysis results indicate the following p-values: age = 0.00, gender = 0.92, immunization status = 0.00, and test lab = 0.46. The findings showed a relationship between age and immunization status regarding suspected measles before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there was no significant relationship between gender and lab results of suspected measles before and during the pandemic. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between immunization status and age in measles suspects before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, optimizing immunization coverage and ensuring immunization is carried out on time according to the specified age is necessary.

Abstract

Background:  Recurrent coronary heart disease (CHD) increases the risk of complications and mortality among hospitalized patients. Previous studies report a 58% mortality rate within one year of treatment and a 30% recurrence rate in CHD patients. Purpose:  This study aimed to examine the relationship between patient characteristics and CHD recurrence. Methods:  A retrospective quantitative study was conducted at Kediri City Regional Hospital. A total of 123 CHD patients were selected using proportional random sampling. Independent variables included age, gender, education, income, and knowledge, while the dependent variable was CHD recurrence. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression. Results:  Bivariate analysis showed significant associations between age (p = 0.000) and knowledge (p = 0.01) with CHD recurrence. No significant associations were found for income (p = 0.373), gender (p = 0.194), or education level (p = 0.983). Multivariate analysis confirmed age (p = 0.000, OR = 8.426, 95% CI: 3.266–21.736) and knowledge (p = 0.017, OR = 2.984, 95% CI: 1.215–7.33) as significant predictors of CHD recurrence. Conclusions:  Older patients are at a significantly higher risk of CHD recurrence compared to younger ones. Additionally, patients with better knowledge about CHD are less likely to experience recurrence. These findings highlight the importance of age-specific and educational interventions in preventing CHD relapse.

Abstract

Background: As the population ages, the issue of cognitive impairment is becoming increasingly worrisome, especially with the rise in conditions like multiple chronic diseases and loss of smell among the elderly. Purpose: The goal of this research is to explore how multiple chronic diseases, sense of smell, and cognitive impairment are linked among the senior population. Methods: This study involved 128 individuals at a senior community in Jakarta with an average age of 68.34 years. The presence of multiple chronic diseases was determined by looking for highest prevalence of disease pairs, and the sense of smell was tested with an 8-smell test. Cognitive function was measured with the CERAD questionnaire, with a score below 52 indicating cognitive impairment. The analysis included Chi-square tests at a 95% confidence level. Results: The findings suggest a clear link between lower levels of education and cognitive impairment (p=0.018; OR=3.214), as well as between loss of smell and cognitive deterioration (p=0.049; OR=2.565). However, having more than three chronic diseases was found to significantly increase the risk of cognitive impairment (p=0.018; OR=2.678), but there was no significance to support that certain disease pairs were more likely to lead to cognitive impairment. Conclusion: This research underscores the significance of sense of smell and the presence of multiple chronic diseases, especially in greater numbers, as major risk factors for cognitive impairment in the elderly.
