Abstract

Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Indonesia has the second-highest incidence of cervical cancer worldwide. The etiology of cervical cancer in women is multifactorial. This study aimed to investigate the Pap smear screening tests and analyze the risk factors associated with cervical cancer in women of reproductive age in Lhokseumawe, Aceh, Indonesia. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design. The data source comprised secondary data collected between January and September 2023 at a clinical laboratory in Lhokseumawe, Aceh, Indonesia. The study sample consisted of 100 women who underwent the Pap smear test. The independent variables examined were age, age at first childbirth, age at menarche, parity, menstrual cycle, history of contraceptive use, and history of miscarriage, whereas the dependent variable was the Pap smear test results. Chi-square analysis demonstrated significant correlations between miscarriage history (p=0.05), parity (p=0.001), menstrual cycle duration (p=0.049), and Pap smear cytological results. Logistic regression revealed that women with a previous miscarriage, more than two children, and menstrual cycles exceeding 28 days were 3.46, 1.32, and 2.53 times more likely, respectively, to have abnormal Pap smear results. Therefore, high-risk women should undergo regular cervical cancer screening to detect the precancerous lesions.

Abstract

Iron deficiency in children age under two years are potentially to get a higher risk of iron deficiency anemia. This research seeks to examine the factors that influencing the consumption of iron-rich food among aged group 6-23 months in Indonesia. This research utilized a cross-sectional design and was conducted through a secondary analysis of 2017 Indonesia Demographic Health Survey (IDHS) data, involving a total weighted sample of 4.622 children aged group 6-23 months. The process of analysis data using a computer program. The statistical test used for bivariable analysis is the chi-square test and multivariable analysis uses the logistic regression test. Overall, 71.7% of children aged group 6-23 months in Indonesia exhibited a strong level of consumption of iron-rich foods. Children with aged 18-23 months [aPR= 8.42; 95%CI= 6.61-10.72], highly educated mothers [aPR= 1.14; 95%CI= 1.01-1.98], antenatal care visits <6 times [aPR= 1.77; 95%CI= 1.04-3.02], who took medication for deworming and antiparasitic over the past 6 months [aPR= 1.55; 95%CI= 1.17-2.05], children who were not breastfeeding [aPR= 1.36; 95%CI= 1.10-1.68], relatively rich economic status [aPR= 1.43; 95%CI= 1.11-1.82] and mothers who access of mass media [aPR= 1.40; 95%CI= 1.17-1.68] has a statistically significant with the good consumption of iron-rich foods in children aged 6-23 months in Indonesia. The interventions must have been focused on nutrition education, access to antenatal care (ANC), encouraging health promotion through mass media and support efforts from government to improving socioeconomic factors are needed for increase the consumption of iron-rich foods in children.

Abstract

Malaria remains a significant global health challenge, particularly in tropical regions. Accurate analysis of patient survival data is essential for understanding disease progression and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions. However, traditional survival analysis often overlooks clustering effects from factors like location, healthcare or family relationship. This study examines how unshared heterogeneity in treatment regimens and reporting time affect malaria patient survival analysis. A simulated dataset, following a Weibull distribution for typical malaria treatment duration (3-7days) was generated to assess the extended Cox model's ability to handle clustering. Three cluster sizes (20, 10, 5 observations) and varying total clusters (25, 50, 100) were used to mimic a 500-patient malaria dataset from Keffi General Hospital, Nigeria, considering shared treatment similarities within clusters. Cluster effects were introduced through a normally distributed random variable. Model 2, with 10 observations per cluster, performed best based on constant hazard, low AIC, and BIC. This suggests that 50 clusters of 10 observations each effectively capture the malaria data's underlying structure. The analysis of simulated covariates revealed that male patients had 15% higher risk of death compared to females. Additionally, younger patients (0-5years), patients with blood types A, B, or AB (particularly type A), and those with increasing body temperatures were identified as high-risk groups. This study underscores the importance of considering clustering effects in analyzing malaria time-to-event data, especially for clustered datasets; a sample size of 500, divided into 50 clusters of 10 patients each, seems optimal for analyzing real-world malaria datasets using the extended Cox model.

Abstract

Alcohol consumption remains a public health problem, affecting various organ systems. Its impact can be detrimental to adolescents, leading to disturbed social and economic development. Gender differences exist, with male adolescents being more affected. This research aims to understand alcohol consumption among male adolescents in Indonesia. This study used pseudo longitudinal data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS) and employed a survival analysis method using the generalized gamma approach. A total of 12,373 (weighted) adolescents were analyzed, with 4,573 of them classified as events. A time ratio (TR) was reported. Smoking was identified as the most substantial variable, shortening the survivability of alcohol consumption by 19%. Additionally, living in rural areas, having tried drugs, and having had sex were identified as risk factors, while education level and mobile phone ownership were protective factors. Risk behaviors shorten alcohol consumption survival among adolescents. Cross-sectoral interventions and comprehensive counseling are essential for effective prevention.

Abstract

In general, the number of elderly people suffering from dementia is expected to increase. Dementia results in a decrease in the quality of life of sufferers so that it becomes a problem. This study aims to detect and identify factors that affect the decline in cognitive function that causes dementia in the elderly. This type of analytical research is conducted by the cross sectional research method. The population of this study is the elderly in Malang city, east Java, the sample size is 155 people with probability sampling technique using proportionate cluster random sampling. Data Collection for the identification of cognitive aspects using instruments MMSE (Mini Mental Status Exam) instruments, data analysis using the Bier Logistic Regression test with SPSS20 for Windows. The results of the analysis showed the relationship between health status factors and the cognitive function of the elderly (p value 0.05). The results that some respondents as many as 105 people or 67,7% had normal cognitive function, and 50 respondents or 32.3% fell into the category of probable cognitive impairment. Conclusion  were  obtained  that  the  decline  in cognitive function in the elderly was caused by  high  blood  pressure,  smoking,  having  experienced  a  blow to  the head, a sad mood, lack of exercise, lack of activity in social activities, difficulty sleeping, and prolonged illness and illness. The suggestion from the results  of  this study is that the elderly manage and prevent risk factors so that cognitive function does not decline so that dementia can be prevented.

Abstract

This study examines how children of Indonesian migrant workers construct their own social protection and navigate relationships within extended families. This study explores how social protection emerges through kinship negotiations based on children’s perceptions. When parents migrate for work, children face challenges and rely on extended family members for care. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this study identifies patterns of kinship negotiations that shape social protection. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with children aged 7–15 in East Katol Village, Madura, Indonesia, who live with extended families due to parental migration. Findings reveal that children perceive social protection as central to familial relationships, engaging in negotiations embedded in kinship traditions. They extend protection beyond biological relatives, including non-relatives considered "like family." Protective interactions involve both family and non-family members, addressing care management and economic needs. This study provides insights into institutional social protection for children of migrant workers from social, psychological, and economic perspectives.  These findings collectively offer valuable theoritical insight into the dynamics of family kindship and negotiation in shaping social protection, while also providing practical implications for the development of more effective and inclusive social welfare policies.  This study emphasizes that the existing pattern of social protection through family kinship negotiation is not fully provided by the government.

Abstract

Maternal compliance as determining factor in increasing the coverage of double immunization injections for children <2-years-old at the Medokan Ayu Health Center in Surabaya. Based on local monitoring data, the average immunized child is still below the target of 90% which is certainly at high risk of exposure to hepatitis-B, tuberculosis, whooping cough, and diphtheria in children. This study aimed to analyze the factors that affect maternal compliance in administering double immunization injections to children <2-years-old at the Medokan Ayu Surabaya Health Center. This was observational research with a cross-sectional study design. Data was collected using questionnaires distributed directly to respondents. The population in this study was mothers who have children <2-years-old at the Medokan Ayu Health Center in Surabaya. Sample selected using the Multistage Random Sampling technique. There was no influence between demographic factors on maternal compliance in administering double immunization injections to children <2-years-old at the Medokan Ayu Health Center in Surabaya (p=0.855). There were effects of perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived obstacles, belief in success (self-efficacy), and signals to action on maternal compliance in administering double immunization injections to children <2-years-old at the Medokan Ayu Surabaya Health Center (p< 0.05). Mothers who have perceived obstacles, as well as disbelief in the success of double immunization injections tend to disobey in providing immunization injections to their children. The latest program from the Health Center which is home immunization visits is a to increase the coverage of double immunization injections for children <2-years-old.

Abstract

Drug and Food crime vulnerability mapping is the process of identifying potential crimes based on investigation, news, and study analysis, including the results of supervision, intelligence, cyber, and information analysis.  The purpose of this study is to classify the vulnerability of drug, cosmetic, traditional medicine, and food crime in East Java using the K-Medoids algorithm, as well as to see the development of the vulnerability of drug, cosmetic, traditional medicine, and food crime in East Java Province for 5 years from 2019 to 2023. The method used is the K-Medoids algorithm with the determination of the number of clusters using the Average Silhouette Width (ASW) method. The highest ASW value between 0.28447-0.61210 was obtained in clusters with 5 groups, namely very high, high, medium, low, and very low clusters. The results of the study show that from 2019 to 2023, as many as 12 regencies/cities have an increasingly vulnerable status, while 26 other regencies/cities have an increasingly safe status. The 12 regencies/cities that are increasingly vulnerable are Bangkalan Regency, Gresik Regency, Lamongan Regency, Nganjuk Regency, Pamekasan Regency, Pasuruan Regency, Ponorogo Regency, Sidoarjo Regency, Tuban Regency, Malang City, Probolinggo City, and Surabaya City. It is necessary to empower the community and intensify communication, provide education and disseminate information massively regarding the use of legal and safe Drugs and Food products, especially in areas with very high vulnerability.

Abstract

Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) immunization plays a crucial role in preventing tuberculosis, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Its coverage is influenced by various factors that differ between urban and rural areas. This study aimed to identify factors associated with BCG immunization among infants aged 0–3 months in urban and rural Indonesia. This study used data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), including 562 rural and 476 urban respondents. Variables analyzed included maternal age, education, household wealth, contraceptive use, and ANC visits. Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression were conducted separately for urban and rural areas. The findings showed that 64.2% of urban and 48.7% of rural children received BCG immunization. In rural areas, children from the richest households were more likely to be immunized compared to those from the poorest households (OR = 2.29; 95%CI = 1.1–4.6). Children of mothers with higher education in urban areas were more likely to receive BCG compared to those with lower education (OR = 3.43; 95%CI = 1.3–9.0), as were those with secondary education (OR = 2.28; 95%CI = 1.1–4.4). Mothers who used contraception were also more likely to immunize their children compared to those who did not (OR = 2.71; 95%CI = 1.5–4.8). BCG coverage remains lower in rural communities. Improving coverage requires expanding access to health services in rural areas and strengthening education and contraceptive programs in urban settings.

Abstract

Measuring birth weight in low resource settings is problematic. Mothers' perception of newborn's size is often used as a proxy. This study examines the correlation between weight measured at birth and the mother's perception of her child's size and compare the determinants of low birth weight (LBW) and small birth size using both measures. This study analyzed the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey data and examined the list of determinants associated with birth weight. There was a strong correlation between newborn's weight measured at birth and mother's perception of birth size and a high agreement between LBW and perceived small birth size. Both measures, birth order was a significant child factor, and the number of antenatal care (ANC) visits was an important ANC factor. Maternal education was a significant socioeconomic determinant of LBW, while household wealth and improved household latrine were significant determinants of perceived birth size. Mother's perception of birth size can be used as a proxy measurement for a child's birth weight for programmatic purposes in low resource settings where birth weight was difficult to measure.
