Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a critical public health challenge, especially in areas like the Aisandam Health Center Work Area, Teluk Wondama Regency, Southwest Papua, Indonesia. Environmental and socio-economic factors are crucial in TB transmission. Promoting knowledge about healthy homes is essential to reducing disease risk, yet the relationship between community knowledge of healthy homes and TB incidence requires further investigation. This study aims to assess community knowledge about healthy homes and its influence on TB incidence. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the level of knowledge regarding healthy homes in the community and analyze its impact on the incidence of TB. Method: Using an observational analytical approach with a case-control design, the study examines the link between knowledge of healthy homes and TB incidence, identifying current cases of TB and past risk factors. Result: Key respondent characteristics included age, gender, education, marital status, occupation, income, religion, ethnicity, and TB treatment duration. Most respondents were aged 19-44 years (62.5%) with basic education (56.3%). The majority were married (87.5%), housewives or unemployed (62.5%), and earned less than 1 million IDR monthly (93.8%). Statistical analysis revealed no significant relationship between knowledge about healthy homes and TB incidence (p = 0.790). The odds ratio was 0.750, with a 95% confidence interval between 0.0903 and 6.23. Conclusion: The study found no significant relationship between knowledge about healthy homes and TB incidence in the Aisandam Health Center Work Area, suggesting that other factors may be more influential.

Abstract

Background: The transition from conventional face-to-face learning to online learning during the pandemic triggered stress in nursing students, which ultimately led to sleep disorders. Fear and anxiety due to uncertain situations also contribute to low-quality sleep among them. Objective: This study aims to determine factors related to sleep quality in nursing students during the pandemic. Method: This research was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. A purposive sampling technique was applied to select 422 nursing students as research participants. In this study, sleep quality was a variable. We used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire to measure the sleep quality of nursing students. We used univariate tests to describe nursing students' characteristics, and multivariate tests with multiple regression were used to identify the factors influencing sleep quality. Results: Based on the research characteristics, the majority (94.1%) of respondents were aged 15–25, 79.1% were female, and 40.7% had nursing education. The data analysis results showed that most nursing students in Bali have poor sleep quality (97.45%). This study found that the risk factors influencing sleep quality include gender, students studying and working, anxiety, drinking coffee and soda, and noisy environments (R square 27%, F=10.236). Conclusion: These findings will provide sufficient health promotion activity strategies to improve sleep quality among nursing students. Health education involves reducing habits that can improve poor sleep quality. Keywords: nursing student; online learning; sleep quality; Bali; Indonesia

Abstract

Background: Smoking is one of the risk factors for increasing morbidity and premature mortality worldwide. The large number of teenagers who smoke makes smoking the second largest contributor to global disability adjusted for life years with 148 million cases each year. Objective: This study aims to test a social empowerment model for adolescents to quit smoking, by exploring the influence of variables related to smoking cessation behavior among adolescents. Method: This study used a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 200 adolescents aged 12-25 years in Sumenep Regency, Madura. The structured questionnaire used to collect data has been validated. The analysis was carried out with descriptive statistics and path analysis using the STATA 13 to evaluate the effect of variables on smoking cessation behavior. Results: The study showed that out of 200 adolescents, 66% had a strong intention to quit smoking. Positive attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly influenced the intention to quit smoking. Adolescents with high knowledge about the dangers of smoking and strong social capital from peers also showed higher intentions. Path analysis indicated that the intention to quit smoking was the main mediator by the influence of attitudes, norms, and knowledge on smoking cessation behavior, with a p-value <0.001 indicating high significance. Conclusion: The smoking cessation behavior adolescents is influenced by intention to quit smoking, positive attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control, and knowledge about the dangers of smoking. Social capital from peers plays an important role in increasing this intention. The implications of the results of this study emphasize the need for education-based interventions and social support to reduce smoking habits among adolescents.

Abstract

Background: Menarche represents a critical developmental milestone in the lives of young girls, often accompanied by a range of emotional responses influenced by the level of knowledge and preparedness. Inadequate preparation and prevalent misconceptions may contribute to heightened anxiety and suboptimal menstrual hygiene practices, particularly in low- and middle-income settings. Objective: This study aimed to compare the levels of knowledge and readiness for menarche among primary school girls residing in two contrasting geographic contexts: a provincial buffer zone and a tourist region. Methods: A comparative research design was utilized, involving a sample of 184 female students from grades 5 and 6 enrolled in schools located in the buffer zone of a provincial capital and in designated tourist areas. Data were collected using structured questionnaires adapted from validated instruments to assess knowledge and readiness for menarche. Spearman's Rho correlation test was applied to analyze the association between knowledge and readiness, while independent samples t-tests were used to compare the mean differences between the two groups. Results: The findings revealed a strong positive correlation between knowledge and readiness in Sidoarjo Regency (r = .788, p < .001) and a moderate positive correlation in Malang City (r = .505, p < .001). Although several students demonstrated adequate knowledge, notable gaps in readiness—particularly in Malang—highlight the influence of additional factors such as socio-cultural norms and the availability of practical support systems. Conclusion: While increasing knowledge about menarche is vital to improving readiness, effective menstrual health management (MHM) necessitates comprehensive educational strategies and the provision of supportive infrastructure. The study underscores the importance of initiating early, culturally responsive menstrual education and ensuring adequate school facilities to foster positive health behaviors and diminish menstrual-related stigma.

Abstract

Background: Community participation has been widely recognized as a key determinant of successful and sustainable dengue control efforts. Developing a community participation model that aligns with local needs is essential for achieving long-term effectiveness. However, limited information on the capacity and engagement of both community leaders and non-leaders in high-endemic areas has hindered optimal model development due to the lack of supporting evidence. Objective: This study aimed to assess the potential capacity of the community and to identify factors associated with dengue control efforts, as part of developing a sustainable dengue prevention model in a high-endemic setting in Semarang, Indonesia. Methods: A total of 107 households, consisting of both community leaders and non-leaders, were included in this study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire through a household survey employing a quantitative approach. Results: The findings indicated that the highest levels of community capacity were observed in health service providers (81.9%), community participation (81.7%), and network awareness among regional leadership groups (80.7%). Key stakeholder contributions were most prominent in disseminating information or knowledge (81.1%), engaging in community activities (79.1%), and providing supporting facilities and infrastructure (75.7%). The development of an effective dengue control model must take into account perceived susceptibility to dengue, self-efficacy, social mobility, and paternal involvement. Conclusion: The development of community-based dengue control models must be aligned with existing community capacities. Policymakers should strengthen dengue control strategies by optimizing both well-established and currently underutilized community assets to enhance program effectiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

Background: From the patient’s perspective, managing vascular access sites after percutaneous procedures remains a clinical challenge. Exoseal® is a novel, bioabsorbable vascular closure device (VCD) developed to seal femoral artery puncture sites following diagnostic or interventional procedures using standard 6–7 F introducer sheaths.Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of Exoseal® versus manual compression (MC) for hemostasis in patients undergoing transfemoral coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: A total of 566 patients were enrolled, comprising 464 patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography and 102 patients undergoing PCI. Among diagnostic cases, 264 received VCD and 200 received MC. In the PCI group, 51 patients each received VCD or MC. Baseline demographic characteristics age, sex, and BMI were comparable between groups.Results: In the diagnostic group, 58% (154/264) of VCD patients and 60% (122/200) of MC patients were male. Mean age was 59.22 ± 13.33 years (VCD) and 57.98 ± 12.97 years (MC). BMI was 28.92 ± 5.22 (VCD) and 29.34 ± 4.98 (MC). In both diagnostic and interventional groups, VCDs were non-inferior to MC regarding vascular complications. Time to hemostasis and ambulation was significantly shorter in the VCD group.Conclusion: VCDs such as Exoseal® offer a safe and effective alternative to MC for femoral access site closure in coronary procedures. Keywords: vascular access; femoral artery; cardiac catheterization; vascular closure device manual compression; Exoseal®
