Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalysed the transformation of health care provision across the globe, including Indonesia. However, adopting and implementing e-health technologies in health care system has to be done gradually with careful planning and assessment to minimise negative consequences and to ensure equity. Strategies are required to address availability of basic infrastructure, broadband internet access, health system preparedness and acceptability from the community and health professionals. Promoting e-health also means transforming the overall landscape of health systems and the societal culture around health-seeking behaviour. It will not happen overnight, it takes time and substantial investment; but the process has to start now to leverage the ‘magic’ momentum presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Background and purpose: Muscle dysmorphia is one of the most common forms of body dysmorphic disorder. It is part of the obsessive-compulsive disorders, wherein sufferers believe that the body is too small or not muscular enough. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of muscle dysmorphia among fitness center members. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at five fitness centers with 117 respondents. Several scales were applied including: 1) 4th edition Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale (SATAQ) to measure self-internalization, family, peer, and media pressures; 2) Physical Appearance Comparison Scale (PACS) to measure social comparison; 3) Body Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults (BESAA) to measure respondents’ satisfaction with their bodies and 4) The Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder Inventory (MDDI) to measure muscle dysmorphia. Meanwhile, weight was measured with Kris EB9-4A Series digital scales, height with GEA microtoise and body fat percentage with a digital HBF-306 body fat monitor. Spearman’s Correlation test was performed for the bivariate analysis and multiple linear regression for the multivariate analysis. Results: The prevalence of muscle dysmorphia among fitness center members was 43.6% (95%CI=33.99:53.20) in the total sample based on MDDI cut-off score. Bivariate analysis shows that six variables including body fat percentage, total physical activity, thin/low body fat internalizations, muscular/athletic internalizations, peer pressure, media pressure associated with muscle dysmorphia. In the multivariate analysis, only four variables were significantly associated with muscle dysmorphia, namely: muscular/athletic internalization (β=0.369, 95%CI=0.296:0776, p<0.001), media pressure (β=0.277, 95%CI=0.167:0.595, p<0.001), body fat percentage (β=-0.262, 95%CI=-0.301:-0.067, p=0.002) and body dissatisfaction (β=-0.224, 95%CI=-0.245:- 0.050, p=0.003). Conclusion: The prevalence of muscle dysmorphia in Denpasar City is relatively high. Muscular/athletic internalization, media exposure, body fat percentage and body satisfaction are associated with increase chance of having muscle dysmorphia.

Abstract

The massive spread of online information, high access to internet and social media, and inadequate digital literacy among Indonesian have been a combination to accelerate the spread of infodemic that indicates the need for a better approach in countering COVID-19 infodemic. Collaboration between the community, social media platforms and the government is required to improve Indonesian digital literacy. The government, both at the national and sub-national levels, need to start a digital literacy campaign by actively involve the community to educate and empower them in searching, checking and spreading various information available in digital platforms. Community involvement should be started from family level as first gatekeeper to prevent spread of incorrect information as well to filter the correct one before circulating it inside and outside their family circle. Family members can be reached through local community organisations or programs such as Karang Taruna and Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK). Schools also need to get involved by including digital literacy in the current national curriculum starting from the early years of primary school. Social media platforms and official websites of both governmental and nongovernmental organisations have currently responded to COVID-19 infodemic by taking several actions such as flagging, filtering, blocking and removal content or accounts, etc, which are identified or reported suspicious. Nevertheless, those efforts must be supported by the government regulation to combat disinformation, particularly for the digital media companies in Indonesia. Strong and sustainable collaboration between the community, social media platforms and the government is important to achieve the good level of Indonesian digital literacy skills and to tackle the COVID-19 infodemic.

Abstract

With the increasing scientific evidence of the contribution of GM to health and disease, various approaches are sought to maintain, restore or modulate the groups of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Those approaches are mainly performed through three different ways including administration of probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbial transplantation. The probiotic approach is commonly attained through the consumption of live bacteria which can improve the health of the host, while prebiotic approach is the consumption of food ingredients or food components that increase the growth of beneficial bacteria inthe digestive tract. Meanwhile, fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) has been beginning to perform under certain conditions in which fecalmicrobiota is introduced into individuals with certain disease and has been showing encouraging results. Even though the application of probiotics (bacteriotherapy) in maintaining or modulating of GM yet to fully recognized by some countries, the approach has showed positive impact on humanhealth demonstrated in certain diseases prevention. Similar evidence was obtained from studies that revealed the beneficial outcomes of prebiotic and FMT intervention for human GM, which consequently improve human health. Therefore, it is noticeable that the composition of GM is a promising aspect which may need to be considered in developing an innovative intervention program to alleviate certain public health problem.

Abstract

Background and purpose: Indonesia is a tropical country, located through the equator line which is abundantly exposed with sun. However, vitamin D deficiency among population in Indonesia is common. To increase optimal vitamin D intake, knowledge on vitamin D and the role of sun exposure early in the adolescence period is imperative. This study aims to explore the knowledge of high school students about the sources and benefits of vitamin D. Methods: This was a quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design using survey method, conducted in 2019. A public madrasah high school in Bandung, Indonesia, was selected using convenience sampling. A validated questionnaire was distributed to students aged 16-18 years old, containing of two parts about sources of vitamin D (10 questions) and its benefits (4 questions). Results: In total, 198 high school students participated in the study, majoring in Natural Sciences (55.6%) and Social Sciences (44.4%), of whom 76.3% were females. The proportion of students who answered correctly about vitamin D was 72.8%, whereas 61.9% had correct answers about the sources of vitamin D and 83.8% about its benefits. Female students had significantly higher score compared to males (p<0.001). Interestingly, the Natural Science students had no significant higher score compared to Social Science students (p=0.227). Conclusion: The knowledge about the source of vitamin D and its benefit among female high school students is significantly better than males, thus, special attention to male students is needed. There is a trend, although not significant, that the knowledge of students majoring in the Natural Sciences is higher compared to the Social Sciences. This study suggests the need of an integrative health education and outdoor activities, as well as a better nutrition program, focusing especially on male students and the Social Sciences class.Keywords: knowledge, vitamin D, health education, sun.

Abstract

Background and purpose: Development of e-Puskesmas information system is one of the government’s efforts to improve efficiency and effectiveness of primary healthcare services. A comprehensive evaluation of e-Puskesmas implementation has not been conducted. This study aims to explore the implementation of e-Puskesmas system in Badung District from health providers’ perspectives. Methods: This study was an explorative qualitative study conducted in Badung District from July to August 2019. Datacollection was carried out through in-depth interviews with 14 informants who were selected purposively, consisted of managers and operators of e-Puskesmas in Badung District, Health Office and Public Health Centre (puskesmas). Semi-structured interview guidelines were developed based on the Health Metrics Network (HMN) Framework. Data were analyzed by thematic analysis. Data validation was carried out through source triangulation, member checking and peer debriefing. Results: The input of e-Puskesmas is generally sufficient in terms of policies, financing and infrastructure, but it is necessary to improve the quality and quantity of human resources, the internet network, and availability of standard operating procedure. The e-Puskesmas indicators have not accommodated the overall minimum health service standards of puskesmas, data on promotive and preventive programs, and data from private health care facilities. Data management is non optimal due to poor data completeness, breach of confidentiality and also the existence of other disease specific information system that is not integrated into the e-Puskesmas system. The quality of information produced from the system should be improved since there is lack of validity and unable to provide comprehensive information regarding health status of the community. The use and dissemination of information is limited to reporting to the health office while dissemination to the public has not been optimal. Conclusion: The implementation of e-Puskesmas in Badung District has not been optimal. Concerted efforts should be undertaken to overcome the barriers in the implementation and to develop a more effective, efficient and integrated health information system.
