Abstract

Introduction: The Corona Virus Infectious Disease (COVID)-19 pandemic has impacted tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment in Indonesia, making Indonesia rank second in the world’s tuberculosis cases. Tuberculosis epidemiology worsened during the pandemic; an estimated 10.6 million people fell ill with tuberculosis worldwide in 2021, an increase of 4.5% from the previous year (Falzon et al., 2023). Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge, perception, and stigma toward tuberculosis prevention in the community in Jakarta. Methods: Respondents in this study were selected using simple random sampling with the criteria at least 17 years of age and currently not diagnosed as a TB patient. Those who were diagnosed with active TB and were on treatment were excluded from the study. Using a cross-sectional design, this study was analyzed with logistic regression. Results: Two factors were found to be associated with the level of tuberculosis prevention behavior. Respondents with better knowledge about tuberculosis were 5.13 times more likely to make good prevention in tuberculosis (OR=5.129; 95% CI=2.341-11.238; p-value <0.001). In addition, having a positive perception of tuberculosis prevention was also associated with better tuberculosis prevention practices (OR=3.301; 95% CI=1.402-7.772; p-value=0.006). Conclusion: Knowledge and perceptions can also eventually lead to stigma, which results in delayed diagnosis, increases the source of transmission, and hinders efforts to reduce its prevalence. A possible recommendation is to educate the community about TB transmission, treatment, and prevention to dispel myths and negative perceptions.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of dental caries in West Jakarta was 44.24%, and one of the prevention efforts that could be taken was health promotion. Posyandu cadres are health volunteers selected from the community who voluntarily contribute to improving community health. Posyandu cadres are important as oral health educators in the community; as extension workers, Posyandu cadres must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to be trusted as a source of information; one of the factors that influence participation is knowledge. Aims: This research examines the relationship between education and oral health knowledge among Posyandu Cadres in Kemanggisan District. Method: Analytical observational research was conducted using a cross-sectional design method involving 73 Posyandu cadres. The research was conducted by taking data from the results of questionnaires filled in directly from August – September 2023. Result: Of the 73 respondents, 41.1% had high knowledge, and 58.9% had low knowledge. Subjects who had a high level of education had higher odds of having good knowledge (adjusted OR: 147.93; 95% CI: 3.52 - 6218.85, P = 0.009). Conclusion: The higher the cadre's education, the better their oral health knowledge will be.

Abstract

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has resulted in significant disruption to health services in multiple nations. In Indonesia, the impact occurred on changes in services for HIV/AIDS patients. As a result, there is a high rate of parasitic co-infection disease, including Blastocystis hominis. Prior research indicates that the occurrence of this illness varies greatly among individuals with HIV/AIDS, with rates ranging from 3.86% to 72.40%. Aims: The objective of this study is to ascertain the prevalence and molecular epidemiology of infection, develop a predictive model, and examine the correlation between clinical symptoms and the severity of Blastocystis results. Methods: Thirty-eight children with HIV/AIDS in Yogyakarta-Indonesia, from May until August 2021 were examined by direct examination, culture, PCR, and sequencing. In addition, a structured questionnaire was used to obtain additional data regarding baseline information and other factors influencing Blastocystis infection. The results obtained were subjected to phylogenetic, univariate and multivariate data analysis. Results: Out of the 38 samples studied, 26 (68.4%) were positive for Blastocystis. The results of sequencing demonstrated the finding of subtype 3 (ST3) and subtype 4 (ST4).  From univariate and multivariate analysis, a longer duration of therapy is a predictor of Blastocystis infection (AOR 6.54, P=0.04). The relationship between clinical manifestations and intensity of Blastocystis findings showed a non-significant association (P>0.99). Conclusion: Children with HIV/AIDS had a significantly high incidence of Blastocystis infection, potentially attributed to the interruption of services resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease with a significant global impact, without treatment, the death rate from TB disease is high (about 50%) Aims: The study conducted in Bhubaneswar aimed to assess tuberculosis disease burden, health-seeking behaviour, and to find the gap of non-compliance in the medicine. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among TB patients in UPHCs Sahid Nagar and IRC Village of Bhubaneswar, Odisha. All new adult smear positive PTB patients diagnosed and treated in any of the government health facilities within these block PHC areas between 1 July to 31 September 2023, were identified, traced and interviewed using a pre-tested, semi-structured, coded interview. Results: On drug compliance, it was found that patients in the age group above 50 were compliant with treatment 86.2% by taking medicine regularly then their comparison age groups. Education beyond high school positively impacted compliance (100%), as did dependency status (88.9%). Alcohol addiction was prevalent among 47% of male patients and 11.4% of females, while smoking rates were 33.3% among males and 4.5% among females. Dependents consumed less alcohol (17.5%) than employed (55.8%), and younger patients smoked more (36.4%) than older age groups (31.7%). Non-educated patients smoked more (32.5%) than educated counterparts. Self-employed individuals smoked more (75%) than employed (37.2%). Chi square test highlighted that employment correlated with higher alcohol consumption (55.8%), impacting drug compliance negatively. Conclusion: Elderly patients, females, and those educated beyond high school exhibited better treatment completion rates. The study recommends targeted educational interventions to enhance TB treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: Measles-Rubella (MR) Vaccination coverage is important in eliminating Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS). In 2023, Kulon Progo and Gunungkidul Regencies recorded 98.59% and 97.63%, respectively. We conducted campaign activities, introduced the Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccine, and implemented educational efforts crucial for controlling measles, rubella and CRS. A collaborative educational program was organized to improve the quality of promotive and preventive education provided to health workers and elementary teachers. Aims: To enhance the knowledge of health workers and elementary teachers regarding measles, rubella, CRS and elimination strategies in Kulon Progo and Gunungkidul Regency. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental, non-randomized design with no control group. The participants were selected from all primary health care centers and selected elementary schools in Kulon Progo and Gunungkidul Regency. Before and after a multi-modal educational program, knowledge of participants was measured using questionnaire and analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: We included 72 health workers and 8 elementary teachers in Kulon Progo and Gunungkidul Regency. The results indicated an increase in knowledge among health workers regarding these topics. However, elementary teachers did not demonstrate statistically significant improvements in knowledge level, likely due to the small number of participants and a general lack of knowledge about these subjects among teachers. Conclusion: Multi-modal intervention enhanced the knowledge of health workers and elementary teachers about measles, rubella, CRS, elimination strategies of these diseases in two regencies of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Therefore, it is essential that public health authorities should prioritize continuous and accessible education programs for them

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is one of the global problems as declared by the WHO. In Indonesia, obesity is continuously rising over the years with 12.2% in teenagers aged >15. Therefore, physical activity is one of the prevention efforts to reduce obesity to create a healthy and prosperous life in accordance with the SDGs indicators to campaign for a healthy lifestyle and strive to achieve prosperity for the world community. Aims: This study aims to analyze the factors of physical activity behavior in high school teenagers in Gresik Regency. Method: This study implemented a quantitative approach with the cross-sectional method. The researchers obtained  samples for about 360 adolescents with a stratified proportional random sampling technique. The data collection was gathered by completing online questionnaires through Google Forms. The data analysis method employed in this study was the Chi-Square test by observing the relationship in each variable. Result: This study’s result indicates a relationship between gender, social support, and supportive situations with physical activity behavior. However, the age variable demonstrates no relationship with physical activity behavior. Conclusion: Most adolescents in the Senior High Schools of Gresik Regency exhibit moderate physical activity. It means that the majority of respondents have performed physical activity within seven days. Social support, including family support, school support, and peer support, as well as the existence of supportive facilities in the environment around adolescents, can increase physical activity behavior in adolescents.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescents with all their characteristics make them are vulnerable to reproductive health problems. Parents have the responsibility to provide reproductive health information to adolescents, but 52.67% of parents have not conveyed it. Aims: This study aimed to analyze the factors that most influence parent-to-adolescent communication regarding reproductive health. Methods: This type of research uses cross-sectional, which was conducted offline in 2022 in Jrakah Boyolali Village. The population of this study was 422 parents of teenagers, and the sample was 230 parents with adolescents aged 11-19 years. The sampling technique used was proportional random sampling. Data collection was carried out using validated instruments. The independent variables were communication patterns, joint activities, and adolescents’ self-disclosure, with parents' behavior in providing reproductive health information as the dependent variable. Data analysis was carried out with multiple logistic regression tests, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The study found that adolescent self-disclosure to their parents was the most influential factor in the provision of reproductive health information by parents to their adolescent children (OR=2.537 (95% CI OR:1.423-4.522). Parents with teenagers who are less open about telling their parents can increase the risk 2.537 times of not communicating reproductive health to teenagers. Adolescents' openness to their parents can increase the closeness between parents and adolescents, making it more possible to discuss reproductive health between the two. Conclusion: Parents need to learn communication techniques with teenagers so that teenagers are not embarrassed to discuss things.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia reached 21.8% in 2018 and increased by 6.4% compared to 2013. Low physical activity is known as a risk factor of obesity. College students’ activities are closely related to use of screen time. Aims: To identify the activities of screen time for assignments and non-assignments on weekdays and weekends among college student and analyze its relationship with body mass index (BMI).  Methods: This study was conducted in 2018 with a cross sectional design among undergraduate students at the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia, conducted in 2018. The screen time questionnaire was adapted from Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire. The correlation between screen time duration and BMI was analysed by Spearman test. Results: The female subjects were dominant (81.1%) and 28.4% of subjects as overweight-obese. The screen time duration in non-assignment activity on weekends has a positive correlation with the nutritional status of health college students (p 0.000, r 0.49), particularly duration of social networking sites and listening to music were more significant in obese than normal. The use of smartphones takes a high part, approximately 4 hours 20 minutes both on weekdays and on weekends. Conclusion: The screen time duration in non-assignment activity on weekend was associated to nutritional status of health college students. Health college students are encouraged to reduce screen time for non-assignment activities on weekends and to use wisely several smartphone applications or social networking sites to control body weight and achieve a balanced nutritional status.
