Background : The current study explored the factors related to the sexuality, gender, and norms among Indonesian adolescents via structural equation modelling. Method : A cross-sectional design was performed among 394 adolescents from August to October 2020 in East Java of Indonesia. A self-administered questionnaire measured factors that in fl uenced sexuality, gender, and norms of adolescents. We used smart PLS ( Partial Least Squares ) to analyze the data. Results : Two correlations emerge among independent variables, namely sociodemographic of adolescent and knowledge of reproductive health (RH) and human immunode fi ciency virus (HIV) (p < 0.001) and sociodemographic of parents and family structure and function of RH (p < 0.001). Sociodemographic of parents (p ¼ 0.003), knowledge of RH and HIV (p ¼ 0.012), and family structure and function of RH (p ¼ 0.006) were directly related to sexuality, gender, and norms of adolescent. Sociodemographic of adolescents (p ¼ 0.031) and parents (p ¼ 0.024) were indirectly related to the sexuality, gender, and norms of adolescent through knowledge of RH and HIV. Our model explains 39.9% of the variance in sexuality, gender, and norms of adolescents. Conclusion : Factors that in fl uence sexuality, gender, and norms of the adolescent should be explored during puberty to maintain positive attitudes towards sexuality, gender, and norms. Furthermore, there needs to be comprehensive education on sexuality, gender, and norms to promote gender equality and to tackle harmful stereotypical attitudes. The education can be tailored to lead to increase positive perceptions of sexuality, gender, and norms among adolescents

Background : The scoping review of published studies aims to explore what practices and processes can improve equity (horizontal and vertical) in countries that adopted Area Health Management (AHM) utilizing the “ Six Building Blocks Plus ” (SBBP) concept. Method : An electronic search was conducted from the inception to January 27, 2021, from 6 databases (Embase, Social Sciences, Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL, and WHO) and the gray literature. The inclusion criteria were AH, SBBP, and equity. Data extraction was using a standardized data collection form. Results : This scoping review includes 63 full-text studies. SBBP are identical in the horizontal and vertical equity. However, the majority of SBBP were health service delivery, leadership & governance, and health workforce. The result showed the practice and process to improve health equity were related to a health service delivery (HSD). Conclusion : The included study showed horizontal and vertical equity. The equity measurement focused on utilization. AHM utilizing SBBP was mostly showed in HSD, HWF, leadership & governance. This review indicates that HSD could improve equity or cooperate with other SBBP by increasing healthcare accessibility and utilization. The demographic factor that affected equity is ethnicity. Therefore, HSD in area health was crucial in enhancing health promotion equity in different areas, speci fi c diseases, and target patients.
背景：对已发表研究的范围审查旨在探讨在采用“六个构建块+”（SBBP）概念的地区健康管理（AHM）的国家，哪些做法和流程可以提高公平性（横向和纵向）。方法：从成立到2021年1月27日，从6个数据库（Embase、Social Sciences、Web of Science、PubMed、CINAHL和世界卫生组织）和灰色文献中进行电子检索。纳入标准为AH、SBBP和衡平法。数据提取使用标准化的数据收集表格。结果：本范围审查包括63项全文研究。SBBP在横向和纵向股权方面是相同的。然而，SBBP的大多数是医疗服务提供、领导和治理以及卫生工作人员。结果表明，提高健康公平的实践和过程与健康服务提供（HSD）有关。结论：纳入的研究显示出横向和纵向的公平性。权益计量侧重于利用率。AHM利用SBBP主要表现在HSD、HWF、领导力和治理方面。这篇综述表明，HSD可以通过提高医疗保健的可及性和利用率来提高公平性或与其他SBBP合作。影响公平的人口因素是种族。因此，区域健康中的HSD对于提高不同地区、特定疾病和目标患者的健康促进公平性至关重要。

Background : Obesity in young girls adversely affects reproductive health later in life and it is a serious public health issue. The objective was to study the association of obesity with menstrual irregularities and hormonal imbalance in teenage and adolescent girls. Method : Participants comprised a convenience sample of 12 e 19 years old girls (N ¼ 83). The study was conducted in outpatient clinics at a university hospital. Data were collected through medical history by interview, physical examination and blood tests. Data were analysed using frequencies, descriptive statistics, Chi Squared tests of Independence and Binary Logistic Regression. Results : The median age was 16 years (mean 15.9, SD 2.2) and the median BMI was 31.14 (mean 32.04, SD 4.51). Most of the girls were obese (95.2%) and some had a family history of obesity (33.7%), diabetes (28.9%) and cardiovascular disease (20.5%). Clinical presentations included secondary amenorrhea (34.9%), heavy and irregular periods (22.9%) and oligomenorrhea (16.9%). Girls with a polycystic ovary (54.2%, n ¼ 45) had a reversed follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) / luteinizing hormone (LH) ratio (OR 11.33, 95% CI 2.98, 43.04, p < 0.001), an upper limit or raised fasting insulin (OR 7.20, 95% CI 2.33, 22.22, p < 0.001), a raised testosterone (OR ¼ 5.16, 95% CI 1.56, 17.11, p ¼ 0.007 and a disturbed lipid pro fi le (OR 5.67, 95% CI 1.72, 18.73, p ¼ 0.004). Obesity was not statistically signi fi cantly associated with either polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or any of the measured hormone levels. Conclusion : Adolescent girls presenting with obesity, menstrual irregularities and hormonal imbalance may suggest manifestation of PCOS, which needs early investigation and proper management.

Background : To understand how nurses perceive the intention to stay in the profession (ITSP) is a priority concern to combat the nursing shortage crisis. In Thailand, few studies have investigated and clari fi ed ITSP in community hospitals (CHs). The purpose of this study is to examine and identify the predictors of ITSP at CHs functioning under the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand. Method : A cross-sectional study was conducted in 47 CHs in 8 different provinces, utilizing multi-stage sampling. A total of 955 participants completed a set of e-questionnaires to measure personal factors, managerial characteristics (MCs), work characteristics (WCs), and the relationship of different factors with ITSP. Descriptive statistics, Pearson ' s correlation ( r ), and multiple regression analysis were undertaken. Results : The study showed a moderate level of ITSP ( M ¼ 3.38, SD ¼ 0.70). The nurses ’ characteristics did not have a statistically signi fi cant association with ITSP. Overall, the MCs were positively correlated to ITSP ( r ¼ 0.379, p < 0.05). Similarly, overall WCs were positively associated with ITSP ( r ¼ 0.370, p < 0.05). Some domains of MCs and WCs were signi fi cant in fl uences upon ITSP. Human capital, work happiness, autonomy, skill variety, and work-life balance together accounted for 21.4% of the variance in ITSP. Conclusion : ITSP was affected by human capital, work happiness, autonomy, skilled variety, and work-life balance. Notably, nursing administrators and policymakers should develop strategies to support nurses in CHs that strengthen their career prospects to persuade them to stay in the profession longer.

Background : The rapid increase of Indonesian migrants to Thailand in the last two decades due to greater regional integration, transport connectivity, and internationalization of education. Different religion, socio-culture, and other sociodemographic factors might affect their adaptation to the Thai society. Method : A mixed-method design was employed for data collection. The quantitative data were derived from an online survey of 268 respondents, while the qualitative data came from literature review, in-depth interviews, focus group discussion, and direct observation. Results : Indonesian migrants tended to opt for an integration strategy and to a lesser extent a separation strategy, with assimilation and marginalization ranking lowest in the acculturation scale. Association test of socio-economic characteristics and acculturation strategies further showed conforming results with minimum variation. Qualitative fi ndings broadly con fi rmed the overall preference for integration as the majority of Indonesian migrants, composed of students and professionals, is well-adapted to Thai society, despite religion and language differences. A minority composed of Indonesian housewives were more inclined toward separation when not engaged in entrepreneurial activities. Not surprisingly, the small number of Indonesian women in mixed marriages with a Thai national living in relatively isolated rural areas were more assimilated in Thai society. A counterintuitive association of assimilation and margin-alization was further noted, which requires further research for a more complete explanation. Conclusion : The dominant acculturation strategy of Indonesian migrants in Thailand is integration, followed by separation. Several sociodemographic factors, including education and occupation, in fl uence these strategies.

Background : ED is negatively associated with men ' s sexual function capacity, emotional, intimate relationship and particularly psychological well-being. The purpose of this study was to synthesize qualitative fi ndings which explain the experiences of men with diabetes who have erectile dysfunction. Methodology : A meta-synthesis was performed. A search for qualitative studies published in English from 2010 to 2020 was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and Science Direct databases. The main key words included: experience, men/male patient, erectile dysfunction, diabetes, diabetic erectile dysfunction, and qualitative research. Inductive and interpretative technique was used to analyze and synthesize fi ndings from qualitative studies and reviewed by another reviewer. Seven qualitative studies were included in this review. Results : The experiences of living with erectile dysfunction among men with diabetes were presented in fi ve themes: 1) Personal sexual values, 2) Lack of understanding of causes, 3) Breaking manhood and husband ' s role, 4) Recovering masculinity, and 5) Negative experiences and needs in care. Conclusion : Men interpret erectile dysfunction as a threat to their masculinity and can have deleterious impact on their relationships and self-esteem. Health care providers should provide information on the connection between sexual problem and diabetes. Screening for erectile dysfunction and its risk factor should be routine in diabetes. Health care providers should ask men with diabetes about their sexual health and give them the opportunity to express their concern.

A search for qualitative studies published in English from 2010 to 2020 was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and Science Direct databases. The main key words included: experience, men/male patient, erectile dysfunction, diabetes, diabetic erectile dysfunction, and qualitative research. Inductive and interpretative technique was used to analyze and synthesize fi ndings from qualitative studies and reviewed by another reviewer. Seven qualitative studies were included in this review. Results : The experiences of living with erectile dysfunction among men with diabetes were presented in fi ve themes: 1) Personal sexual values, 2) Lack of understanding of causes, 3) Breaking manhood and husband ' s role, 4) Recovering masculinity, and 5) Negative experiences and needs in care. Conclusion : Men interpret erectile dysfunction as a threat to their masculinity and can have deleterious impact on their relationships and self-esteem. Health care providers should provide information on the connection between sexual problem and diabetes. Screening for erectile dysfunction and its risk factor should be routine in diabetes. Health care providers should ask men with diabetes about their sexual health and give them the opportunity to express their concern.","PeriodicalId":15935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46333361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background : Commonly consumed vegetables from local markets are considered at a higher risk for organophosphate insecticides (OPs) contamination. This study aimed to investigate the contamination of OP residues in commonly consumed vegetable samples from local markets in 5 provinces, i.e., Nan, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Lampang, and Chiang Mai provinces located in Northern Thailand. A risk assessment of OPs among adult Thai population was also evaluated by calculating the estimated daily intake (EDI) and the acceptable daily intake (ADI). Method : The multi cross-sectional studies were conducted in 5 provinces. Twelve vegetables were sampled from main local markets in every district of sampling sides. All samples have analyzed the level of 19 OP residues using GC-FPD. The estimated daily intake and health risk of OP residues were estimated by using hazard index. Results : Twelve OP residues were detected in 42.8% of the samples, and 16.0% had residue levels that exceeded EU maximum residue levels. The most frequently detected OP residue in the vegetable samples was chlorpyrifos. The percentage of OP contaminated samples slightly increased throughout sampling time, 40.6%, 43.4%, and 47.9%, respectively. Hazard indices (HIs) were calculated based on data from National Health Examination Survey Of fi ce and the result showed that HIs of diazinon residue in Pakchoi and dimethoate residue in cucumber were over 1, hence posing a serious threat to human health. Conclusion : The unacceptable levels of OP residues were observed in all types of vegetables collected from local markets, leading to hazardous exposure among consumers.
