Abstract

The number of married women and men who no longer want children in Bali Province is consistent with a relatively high contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) of 67%, higher than the national average of 64%. The large proportion of couples of reproductive age (CRA) who no longer want children either at the national or provincial level in Bali is an interesting thing to be analyzed further to see the factors that influence it. This study investigated secondary data of the 2017 Indonesia Demography and Health Survey (IDHS) in Bali Province. The variables studied included socio-demographics and desire to have children. The sample size was 271 married women (15-49 years). We found that the age of women of reproductive age (WRA), occupation of WRA, number of children alive, and ideal number of children are the four significant factors that influence the desire to have no more children in married couples. Based on these findings, a better family planning program can hopefully be made in the Bali province.

Abstract

Unintended pregnancy impacts hugely on maternal and child health. This study aimed to examine the influence of women’s autonomy on unintended pregnancies including unwanted and mistimed pregnancies. Using the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2017, this study analyzed 12,624 currently married women who had birth within five years preceding the survey. Women’s autonomy was constructed from several variables related to women’s decision on obtaining health care, visiting family, and spending large household purchase. The result of logistic regression analysis showed that women’s autonomy affected significantly on unintended pregnancy after controlling other variables. However, it implied a negative correlation in which autonomous women were 1.3 more likely to experience unintended pregnancy than their counterparts. Both parity and birth interval showed the biggest influences on unintended pregnancy; the odds ratios were 2.7 and 3.1 respectively. Women who married at age 21 years and above, lived in rural areas and decided the number of children to have with husbands tended to have a lower risk facing an unintended pregnancy. Improving IEC and counseling about family planning and reproductive health is expected to increase couples’ knowledge. Therefore, the decisions on the number of children and contraceptive use can be made jointly and unintended pregnancy will be prevented.

Abstract

Menarche is the first menstruation that occurs in young women. The normal age is 12-14 years, but now there’s a tendency to decrease to younger age. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation of heredity and mass media exposure factors with the incidence of early menarche in adolescent girls at SMPN 56 Surabaya. The study used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample of this research was adolescent girls of 7th-8th grade of SMPN 56 Surabaya and mothers, taken using simple random sampling method. The instrument was a questionnaire distributed online. The research data analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that 39.13% adolescent girls who experienced early menarche had mothers who had a history of early menarche. The mass media exposure with a light level was 15.21% experienced premature menarche, while 84.78% experienced early menarche. The results of the Chi-square correlation test analysis between heredity and the incidence of early menarche in young girls stated that there was no relationship between the two variables with p = 0.068. The results of Chi-square analysis between the mass media exposure factors and the incidence of early menarche in young women obtained p value = 0.030, which can be concluded that there is a relationship between the two variables. The study concluded that there is a relationship between exposure to mass media and the incidence of menarche in young women so that supervision of adolescent girls is needed in accessing information in the mass media.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) remains a public health problem that needs attention in various countries, including in Indonesia that has the 4th largest DM cases globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that, by 2030, the number of people with DM will be twice higher than the current number which is 180 million people worldwide. Diabetes mellitus can be prevented and avoided by taking control of the risk factors. The purpose of this study was to assess the risk factors of Diabetes Mellitus in Indonesia. This is a secondary data analysis of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5 which was a cross sectional survey. To analyze risk factors of DM, Chi-square and logistic regression test were used. The risk factors analyzed included sex, age, marital status, history of hypertension, cholesterol levels, obesity, smoking habit, employment status, habit of consuming fast food, consumption of sweet foods, and consumption soft drinks. Significant risk  factors  of  diabetes mellitus included age (OR = 5.28, 95% CI: 4.37 – 6.37; p value = 0.001), marital status (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.36 – 2.09; p value = 0.001), history of hypertension (OR = 2.67, 95% CI: 2.25 – 3.17; p value = 0.001), cholesterol levels (OR = 4.36, 95% CI: 3.58 – 5.31; p value = 0.001), employment status (OR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.29 – 1.80; p value = 0.001), and habit of consuming sweet foods (OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.48 – 0.83; p value = 0.002).

Abstract

In developing countries, low birth weight (LBW) is still considered a major public health problem among infants. The national prevalence of LBW in Indonesia is quite high and ranked 6th for LBW cases among countries in Southeast Asia. This paper aimed to study the determinant of LBW especially in the urban area of Indonesia due to the wide availability of household survey data and the limited research of LBW with a large number of samples. This study used the latest data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). A bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test and a multivariate analysis tested by logistic regression was done. As many as 7,321 women of childbearing age-aged 15-49 years from the urban areas were selected as the final sample. A number of 6.7% of infants were born with LBW with a mean birth weight of 3,677 grams. This study showed a significant relationship between birth interval and maternal complication and LBW (OR:0.74; OR:2.21). Women’s level of education also appeared to be significantly related to LBW (OR:0.82).  The conclusion of the study was that birth interval, maternal complications, and mother’s education level were closely related to LBW. Therefore, collaboration between health services, health centers, government sectors, and academicians is needed to provide standard ANC services followed by routine maternal health education is expected to reduce LBW numbers in urban areas of Indonesia.

Abstract

A family function has a critical role in adolescent development especially in socializing healthy sexual behavior. However, studies around family function and reproduction health of adolescents are still limited. This research analyzes the link between family function on knowledge, attitude, and healthy sexual behavior among adolescents in East Java Province. Generalized Structural Equation Modelling (GSEM) was applied to the 2019 Performance and Accountability Survey (SKAP) 2019 East Java Province which consists of 32,194 families and 5,300 adolescents aged 10-24 years old. The results show that family functions are not well established, adolescents' knowledge of reproductive health is still low, and most adolescents have a negative attitude toward various population issues. The ability of families to socialize the five family function values is related to adolescent knowledge of reproductive health, positive attitudes toward population issues, and healthy reproductive behavior. This study suggests the importance of strengthening family functions to establish healthy reproductive behavior among adolescents in East Java.
