<![CDATA[Coronary heart disease is one of the non-communicable diseases with the highest prevalence in Indonesia. Coronary heart disease incidents can be prevented by controlling modifiable Coronary heart disease risk factors. Family is the strength for a person to survive pressure or keep life in balance. The purpose was to analyze the effect of strengthening family potency on the control of modifiable coronary heart disease risk factors in adult women. The research design used a quasi-experimental. The research variable was Coronary heart disease risk control models. The population in this study were families who had adult female family members with coronary heart disease in the work area of Arosbaya Public Health Center in 2019. In the sample in this study, as many as 30 people in each group were taken by simple random sampling. The research instrument used a simulation model for controlling Coronary heart disease risk factors that can be modified for women by the family using modules. Analysis used the Kolmogorov Smirnov and pair t-tes. The results showed that the mean modification of Coronary heart disease risk factors in adult women increased, except for avoidance of cigarette smoke (p <0.05). The pair t-test results show that there is a difference in controlling the risk factors for Coronary heart disease that can be modified after strengthening family potential, except for the avoidance of cigarette smoke. It can be concluded that the implementation of the family potential strengthening model is proven to significantly increase the family's ability to control the risk factors for Coronary heart disease can be modified in adult women. It is recommended that Coronary heart disease in adult women can be carried out by controlling risk factors that can be modified by involving all family components]]>

<![CDATA[Children under five years of age are very sensitive to environmental influences such as inadequate nutrition, lack of stimulation, and other factors. Several types of health problems can hinder the growth process of children under five, one of which is stunting. This study aims to develop a scorecard model for early detection of stunting risk based on stunting factor analysis in the Surabaya City Health Centre work area. The design of this study is conducted in several phases, including the first phase of analyzing risk factors using a case-control design, and the second phase of compiling a scorecard for early detection of stunting risk with a panel of experts. The sample in this study consisted of several mothers and infants, both with and without stunting risk. The sample size is 175 mothers and children under five years of age. The sampling method used was systematic random sampling. The risk factor data were analyzed using the multinomial logistic regression test, and the scorecard was created based on the OR value. The result of this study is the scorecard able to make early detection of stunting risk with a cut-off value is 3.50. It is mean that using the scorecard has a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 75% to detect the stunting risk of children. The scorecard can be used to determine whether a child is at low or high risk for stunting. This study implies that the scorecard can be used for early detection of stunting risk by mothers, health cadres, and health workers. It is hoped that by using the scorecard, early identification of the risk of stunting can be addressed immediately and interventions can be implemented according to the recommendations and problems that children are experiencing.]]>

<![CDATA[Advance care planning (ACP) allows individuals to plan the health care which dignifies their personal values at the terminal phase of their illnesses. The Japanese government previously endorsed the concept of ACP in the guideline on end-of-life care and community nurses in Japan could play an increased role to improve its utilization by patients. The current study aimed to identify challenges surrounding ACP practice in the home environment in Japan from the community nurses’ perspectives. Semi-structured interview was performed on eleven community nurses working in metropolitan areas in Japan. Qualitative data was collected and analyzed using Braun & Clarke’s six-step framework of thematic analysis (2006). Five themes were identified as barriers to effective ACP utilization: complexity surrounding family power, informed consent and discussion, cultural influence, longer life versus better life, and absence of frameworks and guidelines. The first three themes were further subdivided into subthemes: imbalance in family power and family guilt, inadequate information for decision-making and ‘no one talk about it’, and traditional ways of thinking and taboo surrounding talking about death, respectively. The identified issues surrounding the current ACP practice in Japan were interconnected and reflective of the social, cultural, legal, and ethical aspects of life and care in Japan. This study highlighted the importance of respecting patients’ preferences in care, which should be additionally protected by establishing clear policy and legal frameworks on ACP]]>

<![CDATA[This pandemic period has multiple impacts on all aspects of life. Both economic, social, religious, and psychological. The psychological side is the great fear in the community as the virus spreads very quickly from the sick to the healthy. Changes in interpersonal relationships and in the economy are often followed by changes in politics, including the life of the nation and the state. Various everyday problems also need to be observed and solved with new approaches. The aim of this research is to examine the impact of counseling on the anxiety level of the surrounding community due to residents found to have positive COVID-19 infection. So that people can understand Covid-19 properly and don't experience anxiety even though there are local residents who are confirmed positive for Covid-19. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-post test control group design. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of counseling in reducing anxiety levels in the surrounding community due to residents indicated as positive for Covid-19. Test results showed a significant difference in the treatment group before (pre-test) and after (post-test) counseling (p-value 0.000). The test results between the treatment group and the control group also showed a significant difference in the post-test (p-value of 0.000). Anxiety or stress during this pandemic leads to an increase in concern for one's own health and that of the family. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that information arriving in bewildering abundance will increase public anxiety. There is a need for participation and collaboration between health care facilities and health care workers and health cadres to provide accurate information so that people are properly informed and can reduce their fears so that they are able to take appropriate action. There is a significant effect of counseling to reduce the anxiety level of the surrounding community due to residents who tested positive for Covid-19.]]>

<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Decomposition of fur, meat, and skin residues produces NH3 and H2S gases that may pose a risk to worker health. NH3 gas is a gas that has a characteristic pungent odor, is corrosive, and is highly toxic even in low concentrations. Exposure to H2S gas can cause bad effects on health because it is quickly absorbed by the lungs. This study aims to analyze and determine the risk of exposure to NH3 and H2S gases to workers' health in the Magetan Regency Small Industrial Environment (LIK). The design of this study is descriptive-quantitative, that is, a study that aims to describe or characterize an event that occurs in numerical and narrative form. The study used a cross-sectional temporal approach and an environmental health risk analysis (ARKL) approach. The sample consisted of 13 workers. Air samples were collected from a site where the leather tanning process was conducted in the unbundling phase. The data analysis method used is the risk analysis to determine the risk characterization of workers in the small industrial environment (LIK) Magetan. Based on ARKL guidelines, the level of risk is called "safe" when the RQ value is 1, and the level of risk is called "unsafe" when the RQ value is > 1. The results show that the NH3 and H2S gas concentration is still below the NAV value based on the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Order No. PER .05/MEN/X/2018, which is 25 ppm and 1 ppm, respectively. The ARKL calculation uses the minimum and maximum values for measuring NH3 and H2S gas concentrations with reference concentration (RfC) values of 0.5 mg/kg/day and 0.002 mg/kg/day. The RQ value for workers for NH3 and H2S gas concentrations RQ < 1 is safe for workers.]]>

<![CDATA[Children with autism have dental health problems that are often encountered, namely dental caries, periodontal disease, damage to the oral environment, tooth eruption disorders, and trauma. Coordination of irregular tongue movements causes food to often get stuck in the mouth and is not swallowed immediately, exacerbated by the habit of consuming cariogenic foods so that the risk of dental caries is higher in children with autism. This study aims to explain the oral health assessment in terms of oral hygiene in children with autism. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review obtained from four databases, namely Google Scholar, Pubmed, Wiley, and Science Direct. The results showed that the oral health assessment of children with autistic spectrum disorder was poor. There are still many autistic children who have caries and periodontal disease. It shows how difficult it is for autistic children and their parents to maintain healthy teeth and mouths. Factors that influence, among others, impaired concentration and interaction in children with autism is the lack of understanding of parents about maintaining dental and oral health. The benefit obtained from this literature review is to share insights that proper care by maintaining Dental oral and dental hygiene can improve tooth brushing skills in autistic children.]]>

<![CDATA[It is very common in medical studies for a patient to experience more than one event rather than one of interest. This led to exposing an individual to multiple risks and medical practitioners need to account for these risks concerning some prognostic factors. There are many methods of dealing with multiple events in survival data classically, however, these methods break down when considering the top-down effect of the prognostic factors concurrently and when the risks of events are correlated (competing risks). This study aimed to develop a decision tree using a within-node homogeneity procedure in survival analysis with multiple events to classify individual risks for the competing risks. Since the CART methodology involves recursive portioning of covariates into different subgroups, this study considers the use of Deviance and Modified Cox-Snell residuals as a measure of impurity in the Classification Regression Tree (CART) during the process of partitioning. The flexibility and predictive accuracy of our learning algorithm would then be compared with other existing methods through simulation and the freely available online real-life data. The results of the simulation revealed that: using Deviance and Cox-Snell residuals as a response within the node homogeneity classification tree performs better than using other residuals irrespective of performance indices. Results from empirical studies of the two real-life data that the proposed model with Cox-Snell residual (Deviance=16.6498) performs better than both the Martingale residual (deviance=160.3592) and Deviance residual (Deviance=556.8822). Conclusively, using Cox-Snell residual (Mean Square Error (MSE)=0.01783563) as a measure of impurity in CART revealed improved performance than using any other residual methods (MSE=0.1853148, 0.8043366). This implies that the proposed methods have the capability of accounting for individual effects based on the prognostic biomarkers. ]]>

<![CDATA[ABSTRACT The presence of the COVID-19 pandemic is also accompanied by the birth of an infodemic whose spread can even be faster than the spread of the virus itself. Rapid dissemination of information makes the information circulated out of control. Health literacy is a competency that needs to be possessed to improve quality health and is expected to suppress the troubling infodemic. The indicator in seeing the quality of a person's health literacy is by looking at how access, understanding, assessment, and also the application of health information related to covid-19 is, therefore this study has the aim of knowing health literacy related to covid-19 high school and vocational high school students in Ponorogo District. This type of research is descriptive with a quantitative survey approach, the population in this study was 8102 students which was then carried out by sampling so that a sample of 367 students was obtained. This research was conducted in 19 SMA and SMK in Ponorogo District. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. The research data that has been obtained is then analyzed using frequency. The results showed that students' health literacy got quite good results, 92.9% of the total respondents had sufficient health literacy, some of them namely 6.8% of respondents had problematic health literacy results, and the remaining 0.3% had inadequate health literacy. The conclusion of this study is that the health literacy of high school and vocational students in Ponorogo District is good. The suggestion from this research is that it is necessary to increase individual abilities in terms of access, understanding, assessment and also the application of health information about COVID-19 so that it can improve the quality of individual literacy which will have a good impact on improving the quality and welfare of individuals in the health sector.]]>
