Abstract

Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Asia has kept increasing in the last decade. The morbidity and mortality for CRC can be reduced with early detection; however, mass CRC screening with imaging modalities such as colonoscopy, CT scan, or MRI is unfeasible in developing countries such as Indonesia. Asia Pacific Colorectal Screening (APCS) is utilized to stratify individual CRC risk. Online screening via mobile application is an alternative method to ensure the continuity of community screening without risking COVID-19 transmission. Objective: We conducted a descriptive study to evaluate CRC risk using APCS in two different villages. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 925 and 207 subjects in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The APCS survey in 2019 was done before the COVID-19 pandemic with paper-based questionnaires and direct assessment by door-to-door approach. Meanwhile, the APCS survey in 2020 was done during the COVID-19 pandemic using websites and mobile apps available for Android and iOS. We gathered participants’ characteristics and the APCS score in both groups and tabulated them. Results: In 2019, out of 925 subjects; 472 (51%) have been classified an average risk of CRC, 370 (40%) have been classified as having a moderate risk of CRC, and 83 (9%) have been classified as in high risk of CRC. In 2020, out of 207 subjects; 106 (51.2%) have been classified as the average risk of CRC, 86 (41.5%) have been classified as the moderate risk of CRC, and 15 (7.3%) have been classified as high risk of CRC. Conclusion: Although there was a decrease in the participation of the screening program with mobile applications in the pandemic era compared with paper-based questionnaires before the pandemic era, online screening using APCS in mobile applications is a preferred alternative for an effective screening method in this pandemic and possibly in the future in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic tends to affect older adults more severely, raising the need for social isolation in this age population. Social isolation is likely to impact older adults’ social ties and quality of life, as well as the risk for illness and health. Objective: This study is a narrative literature review to evaluate the potential effects of social isolation on the mental health and well-being of older adults. Methods: A literature search performed between January 1, 2020, and January 13, 2021, comprised an electronic search on different online databases in PubMed and ScienceDirect using the keywords COVID-19 followed by generic terms older adults or older people or aging population or elderly. Excluding duplicates, a total of 376 articles were screened, of which 21 studies were included in the final review. Results: Many older people could be mentally well-equipped to deal with social isolation, but some experience a negative impact on mental health. Stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms were reported during the self-isolation period. Physical activity also has declined among older adults amid COVID-19. Some elderly who are not moving much may lose significant muscle strength, flexibility, and aerobic capacity. Conclusion: If social isolation continues, policy responses such as proactively identifying and addressing COVID-19 for the elderly who are experiencing negative consequences. An effective solution such as “distance connectivity” and creating safe physical activity such as home exercise is recommended.

Abstract

Background: According to WHO, the elderly is one of the vulnerable groups apart from children and pregnant women. This study aims to analyze the factors related to health center utilization among the elderly in East Java. Methods: This study analyzed secondary data from the Indonesia Basic Health Survey 2018. Using the stratification method and multistage random sampling, this study recruited 25,034 elderly people in East Java as samples. In addition to health center utilization as the dependent variable, residence, age, gender, marriage, education, occupation, socioeconomics, insurance, and travel time to a health center were analyzed as independent variables. Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. Results: The results found that age was related to health center utilization. Elderly men had 0.874 times more probability than elderly women to use health centers (OR 0.874; 95% CI 0.869-0.879). Marital, education, occupation, and socioeconomic, were also found to be significantly related to health center utilization. The elderly who had health insurance managed by the government had a 1.883 times higher probability than the elderly who did not have health insurance to make use of health center services, while other types of insurance had a lower probability. Based on the travel time to health centers, the elderly who had a travel time of 10 minutes or less were 1.099 times more likely than the elderly who had a travel time of >10 minutes to use health centers (OR 1.099; 95% CI 1.094-1.105). Conclusion: Seven variables had a relationship with health center utilization among the elderly in East Java; age, gender, marriage, education, occupation, insurance, and travel time to health centers. Policymakers can use the research results to determine specific targets to accelerate the increase in health center utilization for the elderly in East Java.

Abstract

Background: Lack of proficiency in using languages (except sign languages) among people with hearing impairment poses difficulties for them to comprehend health-related information, thus, having low health literacy. To bridge this gap, healthcare providers adopt various communication practices to reach people with hearing impairment (HI) some of which prove success while others prove a failure. Consequently, reflection on health literacy communications becomes paramount for the sustainability of health education for people with HI. Objective: The present study reflects on communication practices during Covid-19 pandemic control in Tanzania contexts concerning people with hearing impairment. Methods: The study adopted a qualitative research approach in which the data were collected through interviews from five (5) people with HI obtained through a snowball sampling technique, and three (3) healthcare providers who were purposively sampled. Results: Findings showed that adopted communication practices (writing on papers, lip-reading, and using family members as interpreters) were perceived as less effective by people with hearing impairment. Instead, people with HI preferred communication from other sources that used sign language. Conclusion: Therefore, there are calls for healthcare providers’ pre-service and in-service training programs to impart skills for communicating properly with HI to all healthcare providers.

Abstract

Background: Children have begun to be exposed to pornography at a very young age, which is 4 years. Intentionally or not, access to pornography has a brain-damaging impact. Pornography damages the human brain worse than drugs. Objective: This study aims to identify behavioral differences in pornography consumption in male and female pupils aged 9-11 years. Method: The research data were obtained by using a survey method for 261 pupils aged 9-11 years who attend public elementary schools in Semarang city. The data were analyzed univariate and bivariate to determine behavioral differences between male and female pupils. Results: There are 53.3% of female and 46.7% of male pupils participated in this study. Most of them are 11 years old (62.8%) and not yet pubescent (79.7%). As much as 30.7% of pupils (16.1% male and 14.6% female) have accessed pornography and 15.4% accessed it intentionally. Almost 7% of pupils access pornography more than 1 minute, by cellular phone (27.6%) and 5.4% frequently access it for more than 5 times a week. There are no significant differences between male and female students in pornography consumption (p=0.095). The government through Health Office should cooperate with schools and families in making educational programs about the dangers of pornography. Parents should control the use of the cellular phone by children. Due to no behavioral difference in pornography consumption, the intervention program provided could be in equal portions between female and male pupils.

Abstract

Background: The current outbreak of COVID-19 affected many countries in the world, including Indonesia. The Indonesian government has taken various actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. One of them is by applying the 3M health protocols (wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining distance). Considering that vaccines are a critical tool in the battle against COVID-19, the Indonesian government began the COVID-19 Vaccination program on January 13, 2021. Unfortunately, many people believe that the vaccines can fully protect against COVID-19 so they are not applying the 3M health protocols anymore. Admittedly the efficiency of vaccines is not completely protective, the virus itself is still mutating and even can spread more massively. Several simulations of the spread of COVID-19 have been carried out by several researchers. However, only a few research has included variables about compliance with health protocols and vaccine programs. Objective: This study aims to provide empirical evidence for health promotion by showing why after fully COVID-19 vaccinated, people are still obliged to implement health protocols. Methods: We conducted 12 scenarios of simulations to understand the effect of complying and not complying with these two programs. Results: The simulation results show that after being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, it is proven that people are still required to implement health protocols such as wearing masks, washing hands, and practicing physical and social distancing because there is still the possibility of contracting the COVID-19 virus and spreading the virus. Conclusion: Our simulation results provide empirical evidence for health promotion by showing why after fully COVID-19 vaccinated, people are still obliged to implement health protocols. This can be evidence for the government and related agencies to educate the public to be more compliant in implementing health protocols so that we can hope that no one will be infected with the COVID-19 virus and everyone can return to their normal activities

Abstract

Background: Mental health is increasingly being recognized as a severe problem. While there has been an increasing awareness of mental health and psychological well-being for economic and social development over the past two decades, there has not been a corresponding increase in mental health investment. Social media platforms allow healthcare practitioners to take full advantage of the potential of social media. However, this good thing is followed by a bad thing, where more and more information is accessible; people use that information to benchmark that they also have a "mental disorder" while not consulting a professional (psychologist/psychiatrist). Incidents like this are commonly referred to as self-diagnosis. Method: Therefore, this study will discuss the existence of information and promotion through accurate and explicit content related to self-diagnosis, using qualitative research with a case study approach. Results: The results obtained are that this accessibility allows the public to seek information about the symptoms they are experiencing, thereby facilitating early detection of mental health disorders. The power of social media to engage audiences to improve communication and expand the capacity to promote programs, products, and services should be valued in health promotion. Conclusion: Social media platforms, regardless of time or location, allow practically infinite opportunities to interact and communicate with others. This ease of use of on-demand communication may be critical in increasing social connection among people suffering from mental illnesses who have difficulty interacting in person.

Abstract

Background: Teenage pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy often gets social sanctions in the form of stigma from the community, and the loss of school rights. Objective: The research aims to analyze the role of education in teenage pregnancy in rural Indonesia. Methods: This study analyzed the data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey 2017 using a cross-sectional approach. The unit of analysis was women aged 19-24 years old. The study pooled 1,982 women as samples. Besides the education level, other independent variables analyzed were marital, employment, and wealth. In the final stage of the study, a multivariate test with binary logistic regression was carried out. Results: The results showed that women with secondary education were 0.451 times less likely to experience teenage pregnancy than women with primary education (95% CI 0.354-0.574). Higher education was 0.110 times less likely to experience teenage pregnancy than primary education (95% CI 0.070-0.171). The study found two other variables related to teenage pregnancy in rural Indonesia besides educational factors. The two variables are employment status and wealth status. Conclusion: The study concluded that education level is associated with teenage pregnancy in Indonesia's rural areas. The lower the education level, the higher the chances of experiencing teenage pregnancy.
