Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent health will impact future well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted governmental imposition of restrictions on social activities. Hence, understanding the lifestyle factors, such as sedentary activities and fruit and vegetable consumption, affecting adolescents' nutritional status during the pandemic is crucial. In Samarinda, more than 18% of adolescents have inadequate nutritional status. Aims: to explore the relationship between sedentary activities, fruit and vegetable consumption, and the nutritional status of adolescents. Method: Using an online questionnaire, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic, between October and December 2021. Sedentary activity levels were assessed using the Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ), while fruit and vegetable consumption was evaluated through the FFQ-SQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire-Semi Quantitative). Nutritional status was determined using z score of body mass index (BMI) for age. Data analysis employed the Chi-square test and Fisher exact test. Results: Gender, maternal occupation, and average monthly parental income were found to be associated with nutritional status (p=0.020; p=0.038; p=0.045). However, no significant association was observed between fruit and vegetable consumption and nutritional status (p=0.102; p=0.121). Certain sedentary activities, such as doing assignments without using a laptop/computer (p=0.029) and reading for pleasure (p=0.038), were linked to nutritional status. Fruit and vegetable consumption showed no association with the nutritional status of adolescents. Conclusion: Conversely, certain sedentary activities were found to be associated with nutritional status. Educating adolescents within families and schools regarding the significance of physical activity and balanced nutrition is imperative.

Abstract

Introduction: People with ID were reported prone to be overweight (22.5%) and obese (23.8%) compared to the general population and demonstrated poor level of physical fitness. Aims: This study aims to identify the anthropometric measurement and physical fitness profile in individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and examine the best factors that significantly contribute to explosive strength and balance performance. Method: 124 individuals with ID in Kelantan were recruited in this study. Anthropometry, body composition, and physical fitness were measured using Inspire i-Talent manual. Results: Individuals with ID in this study were overweight (24.27 kg/m2) and their fitness levels were considered generally poor. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that lower limb explosive power variable (R= 0.864, R2= 0.747, F= 34,947, p<0.05) can be anticipated from medicine ball throw, fat percentage and 505 agility test values. In addition, for upper body explosive power  (R= 0.863, R2= 0.745, F= 4.223, p= 0.042) it can be forecasted from standing long jump, body weight, gender, static balance, and arm span. Lastly, standing long jump and 505 agility tests could be the main predictor of static balance (R= 0.597, R2= 0.356, F= 6,586, p= 0.011). Conclusion: Present finding can be used as a reference for researchers in Malaysia when prescribing and implementing physical assessment in ID population.

Abstract

Introduction: Medical students are considered an academic group highly prone to stress, with prevalence rates ranging from 28.5% to 78%. Human-Animal Interaction (HAI) has been shown in several studies to correlate positively with stress reduction. A 2021 Rakuten Insight survey across 12 Eastern and Southern Asian countries reported that 41% of respondents kept pets to alleviate sadness and stress, while 36% cited companionship. Pets are seen as valuable emotional resources and adaptive tools for managing stress. Aims: This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the levels of stress experienced by preclinical medical students. The study specifically aimed to explore the relationship between the degree of attachment these students have to their pets and their reported stress levels. Methods: A total of 100 preclinical students took part in this study. The pet attachment scores and stress levels were assessed using standard questionnaires. Data from this study were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test and Post Hoc analysis. Results: The average pet attachment score in this study was 49.73. The pet attachment scores were higher in female participants and participants who kept their pets for over nine years. Most respondents experienced moderate stress levels (81%). Significant differences were found in the pet attachment score to mild-moderate stress levels (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The results obtained from this study lend support to the hypothesis that attachment to pets has a positive impact on stress levels.

Abstract

Introduction: The proportion of elderly people in India has sharply increased. According to World Population Prospects 2019, the elderly population will be around 19% by 2050. Due to this, there remains a concern about the quality of life (QOL) of the elderly. There is a scarcity of knowledge about QOL and related factors influencing the elderly population, particularly in rural areas of northern India. So, this study was conducted. Aims: To study the quality of life in the elderly aged sixty years and above using WHOQOL-BREF in rural Delhi. Methods: Cross-sectional study in the community. People aged 60 and older in the study area were enrolled using simple random sampling. A total of 195 elderly people were enrolled in the study after obtaining consent. The data was imported into MS Excel and evaluated with SPSS version 25. For descriptive and inferential statistics, p-values of 0.05 were deemed statistically significant. Results: Among the 195 participants, 40.5% were men and 59.5% were women. The proportion of married elderly was 47.7% while the rest were widowed, and 47.2% of the elderly were illiterate. Out of 195 participants, 155 were living in a joint family. Physical health (60.76±11.31), Psychological (67.90±8.71), Social relationship (90.81±12.31), and Environment domain (83.23±11.59) had the highest mean WHOQOL-BREF scores. Conclusions: The QOL score was highest in the social relationship category and lowest in the physical health category. Researchers can conduct a qualitative study in the future to determine the factors affecting quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of depression among children under 15 in Kulon Progo Regency reaches 6%, while emotional and mental disorders affect 8%, with only 9% of affected individuals receiving adequate treatment. Parental behaviour influences the utilisation of mental health services for adolescents, shaping how service needs are assessed. Limited mental health resources and negative parental attitudes further exacerbate adolescent mental health conditions. Aims: This study aims to evaluate parental attitudes toward access to mental health services for adolescents. Method: Using a cross-sectional design, a total of 107 biological parents of adolescents aged 10 to 24 years were selected using purposive sampling. Result: This study finds that perceived severity, perceived threat, and cues to action significantly influence parental behaviour in seeking mental health services (p < 0.05). While 57% of parents reported inappropriate use of services and perceived no benefits from them, 51.4% acknowledged no access barriers. However, only 49.5% demonstrated strong self-efficacy, and 53.3% failed to take timely action. Conclusion: The findings underscore the need for interventions that equip parents with practical knowledge and skills to obtain appropriate mental health services for their adolescent.

Abstract

Introduction: Membership in Indonesia's National Health Insurance (NHI) has dramatically increased, especially among the subsidized poor group, reaching 83.9% of the 229.9 million people enrolled in the scheme. However, patients’ satisfaction with care provided under this coverage remains uncertain. Aims: To measure the health care satisfaction of patients covered by the NHI in Waingapu, Sumba Timur District, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Method: An explanatory cross-sectional study was conducted with 500 patients recruited from three hospitals and 10 community health centers. The Patient-Perceived Indicators of Satisfaction (PPIS) tool was developed for data collection. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to evaluate satisfaction level, while confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) tested the strength of association between indicators and patient satisfaction. Results: Most patients were very satisfied with the health care received; reliability (62%), assurance (52.2%), empathy (56.4%), tangible (49.6%), and responsiveness (45.4%). The CFA confirmed key indicators, including the availability of medicines as central to reliability (0.771), effective medicine (0.788), availability of parking area (0.814) for tangibles, motivation provided by health staff (0.804) for empathy, and responsiveness of pharmaceutical services (0.782). Among all dimensions, patients reported the highest satisfaction in assurance of health care (0.950), while satisfaction on tangible aspects (0.874) received the lowest rating. Conclusion: The study concludes that patients covered by the NHI are satisfied with the expected quality of health care services. However, satisfaction levels vary across individual indicators and dimensions.
