Abstract

Background:Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease with an increasing number of sufferers every year, and its negative impacts require special attention. The Indonesian government has taken steps to manage DM by establishing the PROLANIS program. Objective:This study aims to identify the roles of PROLANIS in treating DM in Indonesia. Methods:This study used a scoping review design. We performed extensive searches in CINAHL Plus, Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Based on the search results, we found a total of 280 articles. After a selection process, 27 articles met the criteria for review. The papers were grouped by year, study design, setting, and the role of PROLANIS. Results:According to research results, PROLANIS effectively maintains and reduces several essential aspects of DM patients' health, such as body mass index, fasting blood glucose, and HbA1c levels. PROLANIS also plays a positive role in improving the lipid profiles of DM patients. Furthermore, PROLANIS contributes to increasing self-efficacy, self-acceptance, self-management, adherence to therapy, and overall quality of life. Conclusion:PROLANIS positively affects the management of DM by improving physical health and enhancing the quality of life for patients.

Abstract

Background:Health policies in Indonesia facilitate public access to healthcare information in efforts to improve public health. These policies rely on the support of electronic healthcare information systems to provide health data and information. However, the usage of these systems faces various challenges that affect their sustainability. Objective:To determine the effect of healthcare information technology assets on the sustainability of healthcare management information systems and the role of healthcare information technology strategies as a moderating variable. Methods:This is a quantitative and explanatory research study. The sample consisted of 350 respondents, with a significance level of 0.05. Latent variables included the sustainability of healthcare management information system usage, healthcare information technology assets, and information system strategies, which also served as an intervening variable. Results:The direct effect test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Thus, healthcare information technology assets and healthcare information technology strategies have a positive and significant effect on the sustainability of healthcare management information system usage. The indirect effect test yielded a p-value of 0.003 (<0.05), also leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. These results indicate that the healthcare information technology strategies variable moderates the effect of healthcare information technology assets on the sustainability of healthcare management information system usage. Conclusion:Healthcare information technology strategies strengthen the effect of healthcare information technology assets on the sustainability of healthcare management information system usage.

Abstract

Background:E-cigarettes are a concerning issue since e-smoking has affected young people. This phenomenon will be influenced by how common e-cigarette use is among youth. Nevertheless, health experts have found that e-cigarettes have negative effects on health. Objectives:The purpose of this study was to determine factors connected with electronic smoking habits among adolescents in Indonesia. Methods:The 2019 Global Youth Tobacco Survey was used in this cross-sectional study employing a multistage cluster random sampling approach. A total of 7,758 samples were taken after selection based on inclusion criteria. Results:According to this study, 21% of adolescents had tried e-cigarettes. Furthermore, multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that sex (POR: 5.834, 95% CI: 4.749—7.167), allowance (POR: 2.432, 95% CI: 1.874—3.157), obtaining e-cigarette information from friends, shopkeepers, and promotion events (POR: 2.422, 95% CI: 1.959—2.994), and knowledge and attitude (POR: 2.030, 95% CI: 1.683—2.449) were the most influential factors on electronic smoking habits among adolescents in Indonesia. Conclusion:The results indicated that sex, allowance, access to information on e-cigarettes, and the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents strongly influence the likelihood of trying e-cigarettes. Strict policies regarding the use of e-cigarettes among adolescents need to be enforced, especially in regulating advertising and pricing to make them less affordable for adolescents.

Abstract

Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular disorders who suffer from COVID-19 may have an increased risk of death.  Objective: This study aims to analyze the time of death and influencing factors in patients with DM and cardiovascular disorders with COVID-19. Methods: We used a retrospective observational cohort study using medical records of COVID-19 patients treated at Dr Soeradji and Penembahan Senopati hospitals from March 2020 to June 2022. There were 2,959 participants: patients without comorbidities, with DM, and with cardiovascular problems. We extracted sociodemographic and clinical data on patient characteristics using medical records. Data analysis used Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis to estimate survival probability and investigate predictors of death with a 5% significance level. Results: The median survival time was highest in the group without comorbidities (70.00) and lowest in the DM+others group (21.75). Years of treatment, age, presence of comorbidities, and type of hospital were related to the survival rate of COVID-19 patients (p<0.05). Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular system disorders are significantly associated with survival of COVID-19 patients (p<0.001). There were significant differences between patients without cardiovascular disorders and patients with cardiovascular disorders (Non-Hypertension, Hypertension, and Hypertension + Others) adjusted by year, gender, age, and hospital type (p<0.001). There were significant differences between patients without DM and patients with DM (DM only, DM+Hypertension, and DM+Others) adjusted by year, gender, age, and hospital type(p<0.001). Conclusion: Years of treatment, age, gender, comorbid DM, and cardiovascular problems are associated with the survival rate of COVID-19 patients. Older age, DM patients who have comorbidities other than hypertension, and patients with cardiovascular issues other than hypertension show a greater risk of death than other groups. Key words: COVID-19, Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Cardiovascular Diseases, Survival Rate.

Abstract

Introduction:Young people in Indonesia persistently grapple with nutritional challenges. Regrettably, there has been insufficient research addressing their distinct nutritional requirements. Objective:This study aims to describe the dietary diversity of female students in Southeast Sulawesi and investigate the associated factors. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among female students in the Public Health Faculty of Halu Oleo University. Using random sampling, 280 participants were selected from five different departments within the faculty. Minimum dietary diversity for women (MDD-W) was assessed using a single 24-hour recall. A cut-off value of 5 was used to determine whether the recommendation was met. Multiple logistic regression was performed to examine the association between independent variables and MDD-W. Results:The mean (±SD) dietary diversity score of the participants was 3.6±1.1, with only 33.3% meeting the minimum recommendation for dietary diversity. In the multivariate analysis, higher maternal education (AOR: 4.4; 95% CI: 2.0, 9.6), higher paternal education (AOR: 3.2; 95% CI: 1.2, 8.2), and monthly food budget (AOR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.0, 3.7) were significantly associated with achieving adequate dietary diversity.

Abstract

Background: The symbiotic relationship between microorganisms, specifically decomposing bacteria, and organic material, such as organic waste, leads to the decomposition of the substance and its transformation into compost. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of local microorganisms (MOL) tape in accelerating the decomposition process of organic waste compost. Methods: This research used an experimental study strategy known as "control with posttest". This investigation was conducted utilising two distinct groups: the control group and the treatment group. Regarding the intervention group utilising indigenous microorganisms (MOL) stale rice, the research utilised two data analyses: univariate analysis, which involved presenting data in the form of frequency distribution tables, and bivariate analysis, which included conducting a one-way Anova test followed by an LSD test. Results: The findings indicated that the optimal dosage of a local microorganism (MOL) activator for compost formation was 25 ml, resulting in a duration of 11.6 days. The statistical analysis revealed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the duration of compost formation between the dosage levels of 10 ml, 15 ml, 20 ml, and 25 ml of the local microorganism (MOL) activator. Conclusions: This research aims to explore the potential of MOL activators in accelerating the composting process of organic waste. By utilising MOL activators, it is anticipated that the problem of slow composting can be effectively addressed, offering a viable solution for the community. Moreover, the ease and affordability of producing MOL activators further enhance their practicality.

East Java, Indonesia, is one of the provinces with the discovery achievement of pediatric pneumonia cases under 70%. Nganjuk Regency, located in East Java, has low discovery achievement of pediatric pneumonia cases (34.64%).  Nganjuk Regency also requires an up-to-date study to determine the current state of pneumonia risk factors. Objective: This study aimed to examine the occurrence of pneumonia in toddlers and its risk factors in Nganjuk Regency East Java, Indonesia. Methods: The design of this study was a cross-sectional using a rapid survey. The participants of this study were 210 housewives or other adult household members having children under five in Nganjuk Regency.  The  study procedure began by collecting data from seven districts wherein each district comprised 30 houses that were chosen purposely. Data analysis was carried out using bivariate and multivariate analysis. The data were analyzed using the statistical software STATA. Results: This study revealed that 18 (7.96%) toddlers had developed pneumonia.  The main risk factors for pneumonia among toddlers in Nganjuk Regency were the nutritional status of toddlers (OR=6.787; 95%CI=1.417-32.525; p=0.017), house cleaning (OR=3.381; 95%CI=1.160-9.851; p=0.026), and room occupancy density (OR=4.191; 95%CI=1.371-12.809; p=0.012). Conclusion: The incidence of toddler pneumonia can be reduced by educating mothers about pneumonia and its risk factors, monitoring toddler growth and nutritional status, and conducting routine surveillance of toddler pneumonia alongside sanitation inspections.
