Core Subject : Health,
Background: Increased blood pressure for a long time can increase the risk of kidney failure, co­ronary heart disease, brain damage, and other di­seases. In 2019, it is estimated that hyper­tens­ion is experienced by 1.13 billion people in the world with most (two thirds) living in low and mid­­dle income countries. Other study also shows that the police and military are at risk of develop­ing hypertension due to a number of factors such as low know­led­ge about healthy and nutritious food, co-workers who are smokers, and consum­ing alco­hol. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for hypertension in the police and military in the world using meta analysis. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-ana­lysis and systematic review. The articles used we­re obtained from Google Scholar, Springer Link, Pro­­Quest, and Science Direct databases. Selected arti­cles published from 2000 to 2020. Keywords to search for articles are as follows: hypertension po­lice personnel and military, or hypertension po­lice personnel and military. The articles studi­ed are 3 full text articles with cross sectional stu­dy designs and 1 full text articles with case cont­rol study design. Articles are col­lect­ed using PRI­S­­­MA diagrams, and analy­zed us­ing the Re­vi­ew Ma­nager application 5.3. Results: Overweight (aOR= 1.42; 95% CI = 1.01 to 2.00; p= 0.04), alcohol consumption (aOR­=­ 1.­55; 95% CI= 1.12 to 2.12; p= 0.007), ciga­rette con­­­­sumption (aOR= 1.45 ; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.97; p= 0.020) is a risk factor for hyper­­­tension in the po­­­lice and military. Conclusion: Overweight, alcohol consump­tion, and cigarette consump­tion, are risk fac­tors for hypertension in po­lice and military personnel.

Abstract

Background: Approximately 36.7 million people in the world were infected by HIV and 2.1 million new cases occured in 2015. A total of 191,073 HIV cases were reported in Indonesia in 2016, including 77,940 AIDS cases, and 13,247 deaths. Housewives ranked highest among HIV/AIDS patients in Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitude, sexual behavior, family support, and their associations with HIV status in housewives using PRECEDE PROCEED model.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at Toroh community health center, Grobogan, Central Java, in July, 2017. A total sample of 129 housewives were selected for this study using exhaustive sampling technique. The dependent variable was HIV status. The independent variables were knowledge, attitude, sexual behavior, and family support. The data was measured by a set of questionnaire and analyzed using path analysis.Results: HIV status was directly and positively associated with risky sexual behavior (b= 4.48; 95% CI= 2.30 to 6.65; p<0.001). Risky sexual behavior was associated with attitude (b= -1.27; 95% CI = -0.03 to -2.51; p<0.045) and family support (b= -1.86; 95% CI= -0.69 to -3.03; p<0.002). Attitude was associated with knowledge (b= 2.06; 95% CI = 0.86 to 3.25; p<0.001).Conclusion: HIV status is directly and positively associated with risky sexual behavior. HIV status is indirectly associated with attitude, knowledge, and family support.Keywords: HIV, AIDS, risky sexual behavior, housewives, PRECEDE PROCEED modelCorrespondence: Budi Laksana.

Abstract

Background: According to WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record, Indonesia ranked fourth the lowest country in immunization coverage after India, Nigeria, and Democratic Republic of Congo. Likewise, Pamekasan District in Madura was one of districs in East Java with the lowest immunization coverage. This study aimed to determine the effects of predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors on completeness of child immunization, using PRECEDE and PROCEED model and health belief model.Subjects and Method: This was an observational analytic study with case control design. This study was carried out at 4 community health centers in Pamekasan District, Madura, East Java, in March to April, 2017. A sample of 135 mothers who had infants aged 10 to 12 months were selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was completeness of immunization use. The independent variables were maternal education, attitude towards immunization, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, self efficacy, family support, and distance to health service. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed using path analysis.Results: Perceived barrier (b= -0.5; 95% CI = -1.5 to 0.4; p= 0.255) and distance to health service (b= -1.0; 95% CI= -2.0 to -0.1; p= 0.037) had a negative effect on completeness of immunization. Perceived susceptibility (b= 1.1; 95% CI= 0.2 to 2.0; p= 0.022), perceived severity (b= 1.5; 95% CI= 0.5 to 2.5; p= 0.003), perceived benefit (b= 0.7; 95% CI= -0.1 to 1.6; p= 0.110), and self efficacy (b= 0.6; 95% CI= -0.3 to 1.5; p= 0.193) had a positive effect on completeness of immunization. Perceived susceptibility was affected by maternal education (b= 1.0; 95% CI= 0.3 to 1.7; p= 0.005). Perceived severity was affected by maternal education (b= 0.9; 95% CI= 0.5 to 1.6; p= 0.018) and attitude towards immunization (b= 1.0; 95% CI= 0.3 to 1.8; p= 0.007). Perceived benefit was affected by family support (b= 0.7; 95% CI= -0.1 to 1.4; p= 0.078). Likeliwise, self efficacy was affected by family support (b= 0.6; 95% CI = 0.1 to 1.3; p= 0.134).Conclusion: Perceived barrier and distance to health service have a negative effect on completeness of immunization. Perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, and self efficacy have a positive effect on completeness of immunization.Keywords: completeness of immunization, PRECEDE and PROCEED model, health belief modelCorrespondence: Nur Jayanti.

Abstract

Background: Sexual intercourse is one of the primary modes of HIV transmission. Sexual activity among heterosexuals has the highest risk of HIV transmission. However, sexual activity among queers also contributed much of the HIV/AIDS case increase. The prevalence of HIV/AIDS infection was high among queers in Tulungagung, East Java. This study aimed to examine safe sexual behaviors for early detection and prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission among queers using Theory of Planned Behavior.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with phenomenology approach. The study was carried out at queers’ peer group namely Aprikot basecamp, Tulungagung, East Java, from 23 April to 17 June, 2017. The informants in this study included queers with positive HIV status and those with negative HIV status. These informants consisted of queer commercial sex workers, queers with steady partner, queers who had recently been registered as Apricot members, queers who had become Apricot members for long, Cesmid NGO, program manager of Local Commision for AIDS Control, health personnels, and officers at District Health Office Tulungagung. The informants were selected by maximum variation sampling. The data were collected using in-depth interview, observation, and document review methods. The data were analyzed by interactive analysis method, including data collection, data reduction, data display, and verification.Results: Five queer informants who worked as commercial sex workers were HIV positive. A queer informant who owned beauty salon had a steady partner. In general, queers had positive attitude towards early detection and prevention of HIV by undertaking regular three monthly HIV tests. The subjective norm in the community was very influential such that all Apricot members always complied with every rule available in the community. As a result, the queers had a stronger intention to do HIV early detection and prevention.Conclusion: Subjective norm is an important determinant for HIV early detection and prevention among queers. It is suggested that the positive norm in the community pertinent to sexual behavior be capitalized and strengtened so as to increase adherence to healthy and safe sexual behaviors among the queers.Keywords: risky sexual behaviors, early detection, prevention,  HIV/ AIDS, queerCorrespondence: Widya Lusi Arisona.

Mental retardation affects child development in various forms: physical, self-care, communication, social, emotional, and mental. The objective of this study was to determine biopsychosocial factors associated with mental retardation in children aged 6-17 years.Subjects and Method: This study was observational analytic with case control design. It was conducted at Kauman and Tulungangung community health centers in Tulungangung District, East Java, from April to May, 2017. A sample of 100 parents of children aged 6 to 17 years old were selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. This sample consisted of 25 parents of children with mental retardation and 75 parents of children without mental retardation. Children with mental retardation were identified and sampled at a disability special school in Tulungagung, East Java. The dependent variable was mental retardation. The independent variables were prenatal history, perinatal history, maternal stress during pregnancy, maternal education, and family income. The data were collected by a pre-tested questionnaire. Maternal stress was measured by Holmes and Rahe stress scale. The data was analyzed by path analysis.Results: Mental retardation was directly associated with prenatal history (b= 1.17; 95%­ CI= 0.65 to 2.27; p= 0.038), perinatal history (b=­ 1.41;­ 95% CI= 0.87 to 2.73; p= 0.037), and maternal stress during pregnancy (b= 1.84; 95% CI = 0.59 to 3.09; p= 0.004). Prenatal history was associated with maternal education (b= -1.16; 95% CI= -2.17 to -0.15; p= 0.025) and maternal stress during pregnancy (b= 1.48; 95% CI= 0.43 to 2.54; p= 0.006). maternal stress during pregnancy was associated with maternal education (b= -1.65; 95% CI= 2.62 to -0.69; p=0.001) and family income (b=-1.35; 95% CI= 2.29 to -0.41; p=0.005). Family income was associated with maternal education (b= 1.70; 95% CI=­­ 0.82 to 2.57; p<0.001).Conclusion: Mental retardation is directly associated with prenatal history, perinatal history, and maternal stress during pregnancy.Keywords: mental retardation, biopsychosocial factors, childrenCorrespondence: Yani Ikawati.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) causes not only epidemic but also social and economic impacts. Environmental sanitation, water reservoirs, and community behavior can influence the incidence of DHF. This study aimed to examine sanitation-related behavior, container index, and their associations with dengue hemorrhagic fever incidence.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational field study using case control design. The study was conducted in sub-districts with the highest and lowest DHF cases in Karanganyar, Central Java, from May to July, 2017. A total sample of 120 study subjects was selected for this study using fixed disease sampling, including 40 people with DHF and 80 people without DHF. The dependent variable was DHF. The independent variables were age, education level, family income, container index, and sanitation behavior. The data were measured by a set of questionnaire and examined using path analysis.Results: Sanitation behavior (b=1.50; 95% CI= 0.57 to 2.42, p=0.001) and Container Index (b=0.90; 95% CI= 0.03 to 1.84; p=0.057) were directly and positively associated with DHF incidence. Container Index was associated with sanitation behavior (b=2.09, 95% CI = 1.21 to 2.97, p<0.001). Age (b=-0.76, 95% CI = -1.60 to 0.08, p=0.074), education level (b=-1.02, 95% CI = -1.87 to -0.17, p=0.019), and family income (b=-0.70, 95% CI= -1.60 to 0.19, p=0.122) were associated with sanitation behavior.Conclusion: DHF incidence is directly and positively associated with sanitation behavior, and container index. DHF incidence is indirectly associated with age, education level, and family income.Keywords: dengue haemorhagic fever, sanitation, container index, behavior, path analysisCorrespondence: Nunik Maya Hastuti.

Abstract

Background: The first five years of life is widely acknowledged as a sensitive period for child growth. Any interruption exposing during this period may cause problems in child growth. Various internal and external factors can affect child growth. This study aimed to analyze the effects of biopsychosocial factors associated with child growth with life course perspective.Subjects and Method: This was an observational analytic study with cross-sectional design. It was conducted at Ngembal Kulon community health center, Kudus, Central Java, from December 2016 to February 2017. A total sample of 160 children aged 1 to 5 years old and their mothers were selected for this study by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was child growth as measured by weight for age (WAZ) and height for age (HAZ). The independent variables were birth weight, body length at birth, maternal height, number of children, and family income. The data was collected by a set of questionnaire. Child and maternal heights were measured by microtoise. Data on birthweight and body length at birth were obtained from maternal and child health book. Multiple linear regression was used for data analysis.Results: Child growth (WAZ) was associated with family income (b= 0.36; 95% CI= 0.22 to 0.49; p<0.001), birthweight (b= 0.42; 95% CI= 0.25 to 0.58; p<0.001), and number of children (b= -0.25; 95% CI= -0.42 to -0.08; p=0.004). Child growth (HAZ) was associated with family income (b= 0.26; 95% CI= 0.12 to 0.39; p<0.001), body length at birth (b=0.21; 95% CI= 0.12 to 0.30; p<0.001), and maternal height (b= 0.43; 95% CI= 0.27 to 0.58; p<0.001).Conclusion: Child growth (WAZ) is associated with family income, birthweight, and number of children. Child growth (HAZ) is associated with family income, body length at birth, and maternal height. Life course influences were demonstrated in this study.Keywords: child growth, WAZ, HAZ, birthweight, body length at birth, number of children, maternal height, family incomeCorrespondence: Th.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is an important global public health issue. Countries around the world have committed to control the disease with various programs. However, the cure of Tuberculosis treatment in many countries is still low, which can hamper the success of Tuberculosis control program. Productivity of Tuberculosis patients continues to decrease that leads to socioeconomic burden. This study aimed to examine the effects of education, nutrition status, treatment compliance, family income, and family support, on the cure of Tuberculosis.Subjects and Method: This was an observational analytic study with case control design. The study was conducted in Mojokerto, East Java, from April to May, 2017. A total sample of 108 Tuberculosis patients were selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. The sample consisted of 35 uncured cases of Tuberculosis and 73 cured cases of Tuberculosis. The dependent variable was cure of Tuberculosis. The independent variables were education, nutrition status, treatment compliance, family income, and family support. The data was collected by a set of questionnaire and analyzed using path analysis.Results: Nutritional status (b= 1.31; 95% CI = 0.41 to 2.22; p=0.004) and treatment compliance (b= 1.07; 95% CI= 0.17 to 1.97; p=0.019) directly and positively affect the cure of Tuberculosis. Nutritional status was affected by high education (b=1.62; 95% CI =0.62 to 2.63; p=0.002), family income (b=1.66; 95% CI =0.70 to 2.62; p=0.001), and strong family support (b=1.50; 95% CI =0.36 to 2.63; p=0.010). Treatment compliance was affected by high education (b= 0.84; 95% CI = -0.14 to 1.81; p=0.093), family income (b= 1.36; 95% CI =0.42 to 2.30; p=0.005), and strong family support (b=2.08; 95% CI =0.96 to 3.19; p<0.001).Conclusion: Cure of Tuberculosis is directly affected by nutritional status and treatment compliance. Education, family support, and family income, indirectly affect cure of Tuberculosis.Keywords: cure of Tuberculosis, education, nutrition status, family income, family support, treatment complianceCorrespondence: Puspitasari.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes that carry dengue virus (DV). This disease is endemic in more than 100 countries. Nganjuk district, East Java, is a DHF endemic area with sharp increase in DHF incidence by 286% from 2014 to 2015, of which 9 cases died. This study aimed to examine biological, physical, social, and environmental factors associated with dengue hemorrhagic fever in Nganjuk, East Java.Subjects and Method: This study was observational analytic with case control design. It was conducted in Nganjuk District, East Java, from May to June, 2017. A sample of 120 children aged less than 15 years old were selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. This sample consisted of 40 children with DHF selected as cases and 80 neighboring children without DHF selected as controls. The independent variables were the existence of bush surrounding the house, existence of mosquito larvae, still water, hung clothes, mosquito breeding place control (PSN), and activity of larva monitoring cadre. The dependent variable was DHF cases. The data were collected by a set of pre-tested questionnaire and observation with a checklist. Logistic regression was employed for data analysis.Results: Incidence of DHF case was determined by the existence of bush surrounding the house (OR=2.14; 95% CI =0.99 to 4.6; p=0.052), existence of mosquito larvae (OR=14.94; 95% CI =5.91 to 37.73; p<0.001), still water (OR=11.42; 95% CI= 4.68 to 27.89; p<0.001), hung clothes (OR=4.31; 95% CI =1.92 to 9.70; p<0.001), mosquito breeding place control (OR=0.06; 95% CI= 0.02 to 0.15; p<0.001), and activity of larva monitoring cadre (OR=0.14; 95% CI= 0.06 to 0.32; p<0.001).Conclusion: Existence of bush surrounding the house, existence of mosquito larvae, still water, hung clothes, mosquito breeding place control, and activity of larva monitoring cadre, are the determinants of DHF incidence.Keywords: biological, physical, social, environmental factor, mosquito breeding place control, Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverCorrespondence: Ike Nurrochmawati.
