Abstract

Background Malaria is still considered to be an important healthproblem in Indonesia. Malaria has been found in islands withdifferent degree of endemicity. Behavior of the community isone of the factors affecting the incidence of malaria in MandailingNatal district.Objective To know the parental knowledge, attitude, and practiceamong parents whose children suffered from malaria or not.Methods A cross sectional study was conducted in six primaryschools and one health centre in October 2004. Subjects wereparents whose children were malaria positive and malaria negativebased on laboratory examination. Sample size was 85 parents foreach group. Selected respondents were interviewed usingstructured questionnaire. Degree of knowledge, attitude, andpractice on malaria were established using scoring system withinthree categories: good, less, and poor. Data were collected andpresented using chi-square and P<0.05 was considered as a levelof significant.Results The mean age of 85 parents whose children were positivemalaria, was 38.47 years (SD 6.67) and the mean age of thosewhose children were negative malaria was 40.41 years (SD 8.05).Parent’s education level was 62.9% primary school and 90% oftheir children were school-aged. There were significant differenceson parental knowledge, attitude and practice in each group(P<0.05). There was also a significant correlation betweenoccupation and knowledge, but not between parental educationlevel and parental age. Parental knowledge and attitude on theincidence of malaria in Mandailing Natal district were good,though their practice were poor.Conclusion There are significant differences on parentalknowledge, attitude and practice, between parents whose childrenwere positive and negative for malaria.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) is often found in premature birth or because of early gestational age. Several studies have evaluated the impact of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) on neonates. Birth weight is an important predictor of the nephron and glomerular mass. Mortality in infants with AKI is significantly higher than in those without AKI. Objectives: To analyze the correlation between birth weight and the degree of kidney function disorders. Methods: This study uses an observational analytic approach with a cross-sectional research design. Eighty-nine patients from patients treated from January 2019 to December 2020 were obtained using total sampling. Patient demographic data were collected, and Spearman's test was performed to see the relationship between LBW and the level of impaired renal function in neonates. Results: During the study, 89 samples were obtained, where the mean body length of the neonates was 44.46 ± 2.22 cm, the ureum range was 6-189 mg/dL, the creatinine range was 0.20 -4.03 mg/dL, mean GFR was known to be 19.01+8.96 ml/min/1.73 m2. The highest number of neonates was in the 34–36-week gestational age group. The average birth weight was 1,964.94 ± 274 g, with a range of 1,500-2,400 g. Most neonates had kidney function of risk (31.5%) and injury (30.3%). Only 15 (16.9%) neonates were not affected. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between birth weight and the level of impaired kidney function (p < 0.05). The correlation coefficient of 0.217 indicates a weak correlation. There was no relationship (p= 0.061) and no significant correlation between gestational age, low GFR (r= 0.189).
