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: The majority of the mosquito and parasite life-history traits that combine to determine malaria transmission intensity are environmental depen-dent. Earlier evidence suggests that certain malaria vectors can spend large parts of their adult life resting indoors. This study aimed to examine the practice of hanging clothes on wire and its association with malaria incidence in Batubara, North Sumatera. Subjects and Method: This was a case control study conducted in Batubara, North Sumatera in March 2018. A total of 176 people aged ≥ 15 years consisting of 88 cases of malaria and 88 controls were selected for this study. The dependent variable was malaria incidence. The independent variable was hanging clothes on wire. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a logistic regression. Results: Hanging clothes on wire was associated with an increased risk of malaria (OR= 3.33; 95% CI= 1.65 to 6.73; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Hanging clothes on wire increases the risk of malaria.Keywords: malaria, hanging clothes, wire.Correspondence: Budi Junarman Sinaga.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is an infectious disease with high mortality in Indonesia. Diarrhea often occurs where risk factor control is weak, such as in rural area. This study aimed to examine the determinants of diarrhea in Demak, Central Java.Subjects and Method: A case-control study was conducted in Demak, Central Java, in October to November 2018. A sample of 200 study subjects was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was diarrhea. The independent variables were age, clean water supply, latrine availability, waste water management, waste management, hand wash behavior, family income, and education level. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multilevel regression, run on Stata 13.Results: Diarrhea increased with poor clean water supply (b= 1.45; 95% CI= 0.23 to 2.67; p= 0.020), latrine unavailable (b= 1.86; 95% CI= 0.66 to 3.06; p= 0.002), poor waste management (b= 2.71; 95% CI= 1.52 to 3.90; p<0.001), poor garbage management (b= 1.34; 95% CI= 0.17 to 2.50; p= 0.024), irregular hand washing with soap (b= 1.34; 95% CI= 0.12 to 2.40; p= 0.030). Diarrhea decreased with high family income (b= -1.56; 95% CI= -2.78 to -0.34; p= 0.012) and high education (b= -1.75; 95% CI= -2.95 to -0.565; p= 0.004). Diarrhea was negatively associated with age but it was statistically non-significant (b= -0.33; 95% CI= -1.51 to 0.844; p= 0.578). Village had contextual effect on the incidence of diarrhea (ICC= 13.9%).Conclusion: Diarrhea increases with poor clean water supply, latrine unavailable, poor waste management, poor garbage management, irregular hand washing with soap. Diarrhea decreases with high family income and high education. Village has contextual effect on the incidence of diarrhea.Keywords: diarrhea, water supply, hand wash behavior, waste managementCorrespondence: Aulia Noorvita Ramadani.

Abstract

Background: The issue of when, how, and whether to disclose full information about cancer diagnosis and prognosis to patients is still debated in some parts of the world, including Lebanon. Despite formal academic emphasis on a larger autonomy for Lebanese patients in deciding the course of their disease, there has been no apparent impact on either clinical practices nor public expectations.  The topic of full disclosure is rarely if ever discussed in open fora, or in mass media channels in Lebanon. Subjects and Method: Seven key stakeholders were identified and interviewed regarding obstacles to spelling out clear guidelines within our national context. The interviews were transcribed and subsequently analyzed for recurrent patterns and concepts.Results: Senior oncologists interviewed generally favored gradual disclosure and most perceived a changing trend among both patients and physicians towards more disclosure. They also agreed on a need for the formal training of residents and fellows to better communicate bad news to patients. All the interviewed physicians attested to the benefits of candid disclosure in terms of patient psychology and overall wellbeing. They also mentioned that psychological services, which may facilitate the disclosure process, are greatly under-utilized in oncology. Lawyers highlighted the vagueness of the current Lebanese legislation regarding the obligation of truthful disclosure in comparison to laws in developed countries and the implications on patient autonomy. Conclusion: The study identified the need for improvements at various levels, including interventions to modify the expectations of the Lebanese public regarding cancer disclosure and to clarify existing legislative texts.Keywords: Ethics; Legislation; Middle-East; DisclosureCorrespondence: James Feghali.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease which may lead to premature death and disability. This study aimed to determine the biopsychosocial factors associated with the risk of hypertension.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a case-control design. This study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, from September to November 2018. A sample of 225 patients was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was hypertension. The independent variables were anxiety, stress, quality of sleep, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, vegetables and fruit, coffee drink, and soft drink consumption. Blood pressure was measured by sphygmomanometer. Body weight was measured by scale. Body height was measured by microtoise. The other data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Hypertension directly increased with anxiety (b= 0.26; 95%CI= 0.02to 0.51; p= 0.037), stress (b= 0.28; 95%CI= 0.04 to 0.53; p= 0.022), poor quality of sleep (b= 0.46; 95%CI= 0.06 to 0.87; p= 0.026), BMI (b= 0.68; 95%CI= 0.051 to 1.31; p= 0.034), coffee drink consumption (b= 1.31; 95%CI= 0.17 to 2.46; p= 0.024), and soft drink consumption (b= 0.38; 95%CI= 0.04 to 0.72; p= 0.029). Hypertension directly decreased with high physical activity (b= -0.04; 95%CI= -0.07 to -0.004; p= 0.027), vegetable and fruit consumption (b= -1.13; 95%CI= -2.07 to -0.19; p= 0.037). Hypertension was indirectly affected by anxiety, physical activity, quality of sleep, and coffe drink consumption through BMI and quality of sleep.Conclusion: Hypertension is directly and positively affected by anxiety, stress, poor quality of sleep, BMI, coffee drink consumption, and soft drink consumption, but negatively affected by high physical activity, vegetable and fruit consumption.Keywords: hypertension, biopsychosocial, determinantsCorrespondence: Febry Istyanto.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is a major cause of illness and death in children under five worldwide. Studies into the contextual effect of village are lacking in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine contextual effect of village on the risk of pneumonia in children under five in Magetan, East Java.Subjects and Method: This was a case control study conducted in Magetan, East Java, from October 2018 to December 2018. A sample of 225 children under five from 25 villages was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was pneumonia. The independent variables were nutritional status, vitamin A intake, maternal stress, maternal education, family income, family smoking, cooking fuel, house physical environment, and the presence of children in the kitchen when cooking. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multilevel logistic regression.Results: Maternal stress (b= 1.91; 95% CI= 0.75 to 3.06; p= 0.001), family smoking habits (b = 1.39; 95% CI = 0.46 to 2.32; p = 0.003), cooking fuel (b= 1.51; 95% CI= 0.46 to 2.55; p= 0.005), and the presence of children in the kitchen when cooking (b= 1.37; 95% CI = 0.38 to 2.35; p= 0.007) increased the risk of pneumonia in children under five. The risk of pneumonia was reduced by good nutritional status (b= -1.74; 95% CI= -2.70 to -0.78; p <0.001), complete vitamin A status (b= -1.14; 95% CI= -2.04 to -0.24; p= 0.013), high maternal education (b= -1.41; 95% CI= -2.45 to -0.37; p= 0.008), high family income (b= -0.91; 95% CI= -1.80 to -0.02; p= 0.045), and healthy home physical environment (b= -1.86; 95% CI= -3.20 to -0.52; p= 0.007). Village had a strong contextual effect on pneumonia among children under five with ICC= 21.32%.Conclusions: Maternal stress, family smoking habits, cooking fuel, and the presence of children in the kitchen when cooking increase the risk of pneumonia in children under five. It is reduced by good nutritional status, complete vitamin A status, high maternal education, high family income, and healthy home physical environment.

Abstract

Background: Depression is a psychiatric complication of stroke that often occurs and had a negative impact. Every year, 15 million people who experience strokes globally are at risk of developing post-stroke depression. Cognitive disorders are often associated with the presence of post-stroke depression. Understanding of risk factors for post-stroke depression can help in clinical identification and provide early intervention to improve stroke rehabilitation better. Therefore, it is very important to identify patients at risk for depression. This study aims to analyze cognitive impairment factors in the incidence of post-stroke depression.Subjects and Method: The meta-analysis was conducted from Pubmed, Science Direct, and Springer Link databases using "stroke", "depression", "post-stroke depression AND risk factor" keywords. The article chosen was an article published from January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2018. The data were analyzed using RevMan 5 program.Results: 6 studies consisting of 3140 patients were selected for this study. The results of a meta-analysis showed that cognitive impairment was a risk factor for post-stroke depression. Cognitive disorder was positively and significantly associated with post-stroke depression (OR = 1.24; 95% CI= 1.03 to 1.49; p = 0.02).Conclusion: Cognitive disorder is a risk factor for post-stroke depression.Keywords: depression, post-stroke, cognitive impairment, risk factor, meta-analysisCorrespondence: Dinda Ika Pratiwi.
