Abstract

Adolescence is an important period of rapid change in biological, psychosocial and cognitive growth and development marked by significant increases in nutrition and energy needs. The study aimed to explore perceived barriers and needs regarding dietary macronutrient intake in adolescent girls in Barrang Lompo Island in Makassar City, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The qualitative design drew on constructs from social cognitive theory. The sample consisted of 18 adolescent girls and their mothers from grades 8 to 11 whose dietary macronutrient intake was less than the recommended dietary allowance. A semi-structured interview protocol was used to explore perceived barriers and needs regarding dietary macronutrient intake, and the data were subjected to thematic analysis and analytic generalization. To ensure adequate dietary intake, adolescent girls need support from family and friends and access to preferred foods. Barriers include laziness about eating key foods, feelings of fullness due to snacking, addiction to cellphones, and lack of raw foodstuffs for making their favorite dishes. Social cognitive theory used to identify needs and barriers showed environmental and individual factors from adolescents play important role in appropriate food consumption in teenage girls. The findings may help to improve future interventions to enhance dietary patterns in adolescent girls who live in small island.

Abstract

Diarrhea is still a public health problem in Indonesia. Many children are victim of diarrheal diseases which are easily preventable and treatable. This study aimed to determine the perception and behavior of mothers of children under five years old with diarrhea based on the Health Belief Model (HBM). This research used qualitative with a phenomenological approach and analyzed based on the theory of the Health Belief Model (vulnerabilities, severity, benefits, barriers, cues to action). Collecting data from 12 informants through in-depth interview, observation, and documentation. The results showed that, based on the results of the HBM analysis with 5 indicators, the informants agreed on the susceptibility to diarrhea in children in the area. This is due to unqualified drinking water sources, poor waste management systems, and poor environmental and personal hygiene for each child. The main obstacle for informants is the absence of a strong will and the nature of not caring about the mother's and her children’s living condition and personal hygiene. In conclusion, the informant's perception of diarrheal disease is a harmless disease. The behavior of the informants did not care about living conditions which could cause repeated diarrhea for their children.

Abstract

Vitamin D testing increased significantly during the Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemics due to its role in regulating the immune system. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency is associated with susceptibility to various diseases that may affect the quality of life regarding physical health, psychological well-being, social and environmental aspects. The study aimed to determine whether there is an association between vitamin D intake and quality of life in the 17 to 35-year-old age group. A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to November 2021. The sample consisted of students from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, and their relatives in the same age group, who were selected using a consecutive sampling. Vitamin D intake was measured using Vitamin D Estimation Only - Food Frequency Questionnaire (VIDEO-FFQ). At the same time, the quality of life was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Of the 127 respondents, the results showed that most of respondents had inadequate vitamin D intake and good quality of life (68.50%;59.10%). The highest mean of the four quality of life domains belongs to the environmental domain (3.94) with a standard deviation (SD) of ± 0.83. Data analysis showed no significant correlation between vitamin D intake and quality of life (p>0.05). The conclusion shows that there was no correlation between vitamin D intake and quality of life in the 17–35-year age group.

Abstract

Hypertension is often called the silent killer because it does not show any symptoms. Hence, not all people with hypertension are aware that they suffer from a chronic condition that can cause degenerative diseases, to death. Hypertension is a problem that is often found in society, both in developed and developing countries, especially in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the incidence of hypertension in the work area of Dua Boccoe Health Center and Blue Health Center of Bone Regency and Padongko Health Center and Palakka Health Center of Barru Regency, with a high prevalence of hypertension cases in Bone Regency (29.33%) and Barru Regency (33.59%). The type of research used is observational with cross-sectional design with a total of 356 respondents. Data were processed using the SPSS program with chi-square analysis and logistic regression. The results of the study based on the chi-square test showed that there was a relationship between the variables of age, education level, family history of hypertension, smoking, and stress with the incidence of hypertension (p<0.05) and there was no relationship between the variables of sex and physical activity with the incidence of hypertension (p>0.05). Furthermore, based on the logistic regression test, respondents were at a 6.5 times greater risk of developing hypertension if they had stress risk factors. Therefore, respondents are expected to carry out regular health checks and maintain a healthy lifestyle to control risk factors for hypertension.
