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: In 2025, it is projected that 29% of the world's citizens will suffer from hyper­tension. Hypertension does not only occur in adults but in adolescents. The prevalence of Indonesian hypertension is relatively high at 34.1%. Hypertension if not treated immediately can cause death. This study aimed to analyze risk factors of hypertension in high school students.Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Bantul, Yogyakarta, from April to May 2019. A sample of 200 adolescents aged 15-19 years was selected by probability sampling. The dependent variable was hypertension. The independent variables were gender, genetic history, obesity, dietary pattern, sleep duration, stress, and money pocket. The data on hypertension were collected using sphygmomanometer. BMI was measured by microtoise and weight scale. Data on stress were measured by perceived stress scale (PSS). The other variables were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by multilevel logistic regression.Results: The risk of hypertension increased with male gender (b= 1.87; 95% CI= 0.38 to 3.36; p= 0.014), genetic history (b= 1.93; 95% CI= 0.48 to 3.39; p= 0.009), obesity (b= 2.15; 95% CI= 0.76 to 3.55; p= 0.002), poor dietary pattern (b= 1.54 CI 95% = 0.97 to 2.99; p= 0.036), sleep duration <8 hours/day (b= 2.28; 95% CI= 0.63 to 3.93; p= 0.007), high stress (b= 3.52; 95% CI= 1.64 to 5.39; p<0.001), and high money pocket (b= 2.00; 95% CI= 0.45 to 3.56; p= 0.011). School had contextual effect on hypertension with ICC= 22.47%.Conclusions: The risk of hypertension increased with male gender, genetic history, obesity, poor dietary pattern, sleep duration <8 hours/day, high stress, and high money pocket. School has contextual effect on hypertension.Keywords: hypertension, adolescence, diet, stress, duration of sleep, socio-economicCorrespondence: Mayasari Kurnianingsih.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) was an infectious disease which was still a health problem world­wide, including in Indonesia, which only had a population of around 261 million. The purpose of this study was to analyze biological and social economic determinants of adherence and cure of TB treatment.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a case control design. The study was conducted in Bantul, Yogyakarta, from April to May 2019. A sample of 225 TB patients was selected by random sampling. The dependent variable was adherence and cure of TB treat­ment. The independent variables were age, gender, education, family income, nutritional status, healthy behavior, complication, family support, drug taking supervisor, drug taking adherence, environment, and smoking. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis.Results: Adherence and cure of TB treat­ment was directly increased with good nutritional status (b= 076; 95% CI= 0.03 to 1.49; p= 0.042), drug taking adherence (b= 3.67; 95% CI= 1.47 to 5.92; p= 0.001), drug taking supervisor (b= 3.64; 95% CI= 1.26 to 6.02; p= 0.003), strong family support (b= 2.03; 95% CI= -3.85 to -0.21; p= 0.029), and healthy physical environment (b= 4.05; 95% CI= - 0.09 to 8.20; p= 0.056). Adherence and cure of TB treat­ment was directly decreased with age ≥65 years old (b= -0.54; 95% CI= - 1.85 to 0.75; p= 0.411), female gender (b= -0.05; 95% CI= - 0.86 to 0.76; p= 0.900), unhealthy behavior (b= -3.20; 95% CI= - 5.02 to -1.36; p= 0.001), smoking (b= -1.50; 95% CI= - 2.56 to -0.43; p= 0.006), complication (b= -1.41; 95% CI= - 2.60 to -0.23; p= 0.019). It was indirectly affected by nutritional status, education, family income, and healthy environment.Conclusion: Adherence and cure of TB treat­ment is directly increased with good nutritional status, drug taking adherence, drug taking supervisor, strong family support, and healthy physical environment. Adherence and cure of TB treat­ment is directly decreased with age ≥65 years old, female gender, unhealthy behavior, smoking, complication. It is indirectly affected by nutritional status, education, family income, and healthy environment.Keywords: tuberculosis treat­ment, drug taking adherence, path analysisCorrespondence: Tri Godha Fitriani.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem throughout the world. Hospitals and pulmonary clinics contribute significantly to the number of patients from all positive smear cases. Hospital performance in TB control is assessed using treatment success rates. The purpose of this study is to find out an overview of hospital performance factors that influence the success of hospitals in TB control in Central Java.Subjects and Method: The study design was a descriptive analytical epidemiology with a retro­spective cohort design. The samples were taken in total sampling. The subjects were 158 hospitals in Central Java Province that used the DOTS strategy. The variable assessment instrument from the 2010 TB Sub-Directorate of the Ministry of Health's checklist was taken in January-February 2018. The data were linked to TB data from the Central Java Provincial Health Office in 2013 and 2016. Treatment success rates were stated to be good if the value was %85%Results: There were 110 hospitals with complete data in 2013 and 2016. Good success rates (>85%) in 2013 were achieved by 59 (53.60%) hospitals in 2013, in 2016 it decreased, only 43 (39.10%) hospitals were achieved. There was no significant relationship between the commitment and organization of the DOTS Hospital team, treatment, medical supervision, internal/external networks, and health facilities with the success rate of TB treatment, in which in this study, the value of p > 0.05. The type of hospital was significantly associated with treatment success rates in 2013, in which the lower type of hospital, the better the success rate of TB treatment.Conclusion: Because of the low number of hospitals that achieve good success rates (>85%), more detailed identification of risk factors is needed. Keywords: tuberculosis, success rate, hospitals Correspondence: Reviono.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by dengue virus. Until now, Dengue virus infection remains a health problem in Indonesia. The things which cause problems in DHF case are high mortality rates, diseases spread which are easily spread, especially affect children. Handling of DHF patients needs long of a length of stay which has large costs.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. This study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, based on medical records. 32 samples were selected using purposive sampling. The independent variables were age, sex, platelet count, hematocrit value, and a number of leukocytes. The dependent variable was the length of stay. The data were obtained from medical records using a Chi-square test. Bivariate analysis was used to determine the factors which affected DHF on length of stay using Chi-square, Kolmogorov Smirnov, continuing with multiple linear regression analysis.Results: The age of DHF patients was from 1 year of age to 53 years of age with an average age of 20.07 +13.45 years. The number of female patients was 15 patients. Platelets level (x 1,000) was 25 for minimum and 308 for maximum. Mean ± SD platelet was 94.86 + 67.97. Hematocrit level was 28 for minimum and 54 for maximum. Mean ± SD hematocrit was 40.69 + 6.59. Leukocytes level (x 1,000) was 1.6 for minimum and 10.8 for maximum. Mean ± SD leukocytes was 5.50 + 2.95. The shortest length of stay was 3 days and the longest was 11 days. Mean ± SD length of stay was 5.21 ± 1.90 days. The result of multiple linear regression analysis showed a statistically non-significant relationship (p> 0.05) between age, sex, platelets, hematocrit, leukocytes, and length of stay.Conclusion: There is a non-significant relationship between age, sex, platelet count, hematocrit value, leukocyte count, and length of stay.Keywords: DHF, length of stay, platelet count, hematocrit value, leukocyte countCorrespondence: Maria Devi Arianti.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia is in the second place with the highest burden of tuberculosis (TB) in the world. Childhood is a period of rapid growth that requires efforts to maintain children's health. At the time the child still has a low immune system making it vulnerable to a disease including TB. The problem of TB in children requires better attention in child TB control programs. This study aimed to analyze the contextual influence of villages on the incidence of TB in children.Subjects and Method: This was a case-control study conducted in 25 villages in Surakarta, Central Java, from August to September 2019. A sample of 200 children aged 0 to 18 years was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was the incidence of TB in children. The in­de­pen­dent variables were birth weight, BCG immunization, exclusive breastfeeding, nutritional sta­tus, parental income, home sanitation, exposure to cigarette smoke, family history of TB, and con­­textual effect of village. Data on TB were obtained from medical record in Su­­rakarta community health center. The other data was collected by questionnaire. The data was analyzed by multilevel mul­tiple logistic regression with Stata 13.Results: The risk of TB in children increased poor house sanitation (OR= 6.70; 95% CI= 1.14 to 39.27; p= 0.035), high exposure to cigarette smoke (OR= 6.71; 95% CI= 1.09 to 41.25; p= 0.040), and family history of TB (OR= 6.01; 95% CI= 1.36 to 26.39; p= 0.018). The risk of TB in children decreased with normal birth weight (≥2500 g) (OR= 0.12; 95% CI= 0.02 to 0.60; p= 0.009), BCG immunization (OR= 0.17; 95% CI= 0.04 to 0.64; p= 0.009 ), exclusive breastfeeding (OR= 0.08; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.57; p= 0.011), good nutri­tio­nal status (OR= 0.11; 95% CI= 0.02 to 0.66; p= 0.016), and parental income ≥Rp 1,802,700 (OR= 0.07; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.37; p= 0.002). Village had strong contextual effect on the risk of TB in children with intra-class correlation (ICC)= 29.24%.Conclusion: The risk of TB in children increases poor house sanitation, high exposure to cigarette smoke, and family history of TB. The risk of TB in children decreases with birth weight ≥2500 g, BCG immunization, exclusive breastfeeding, good nutri­tio­nal status, and high parental income. Village has strong contextual effect on the risk of TB in children.Keywords: Tuberculosis, risk factors, children aged 0-18 years, multilevel analysis.Correspondence: Dyah Ayu Saputri.

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is in the second place among the incidence of new cases and in thethird highest death from cancer. Cancer depression and severity generally occur together with psychological problems, such as anxiety, pain and fatigue. Most studies in cancer patients have focused on morbidity or mortality more due to the risk of depression. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence depression in cervical cancer patients.Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, Central Java, from September to October 2019. A sample of 200 cervical cancer patients was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was depression. The independent variables were marital status, education, occupation, family income, peer support, family support, health personnel support, coping strategy, cancer stage, frequency of chemothe­rapy, and length of illness from diagnosis. Depression was measured by the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) questionnaire. The other data were collected by medical record and question­naire. The data were analyzed by path analysis run on Stata 13.Results: Severe depression in cervical cancer patients was directly increased by the frequency of chemotherapy 3 times (b= 1.80; 95% CI= 0.11 to 3.49; p= 0.037), advanced stage (b= 2.50; 95% CI= 0.18 to 4.82; p= 0.035), and length of illness from diagnosis ≥11 months (b= 2.27; 95% CI= 0.57 to 3.96; p= 0.009). Severe depression was directly decreased by high coping strategy (b= -6.33; 95% CI= -8.68 to -3.98; p<0.001). Severe depression was indirectly affected by peer support, family support, support of health personnel, family income, occupation, education, and marital status.Conclusion: Severe depression in cervical cancer patients is directly increased by the frequency of chemotherapy 3 times, advanced stage, and length of illness from diagnosis ≥11 months. Severe depression is directly decreased by high coping strategy. Severe depression is indirectly affected by peer support, family support, support of health personnel, family income, occupation, education, and marital status.Keywords: depression, cervical cancer, path analysisCorrespondence: Dewi Shinta.
