Background: Musculoskeletal complaints often occur in saleswomen who do awkward standing during work. Repair of standing position can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal pain. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of corrective work posture on alleviating musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) symptoms among saleswomen in the department store. Subjects and Method: This was a quasi experiment before and after with no control design conducted in Rantauprapat department store, North Sumatera. A sample of 30 saleswomen from the department store was selected for this study. The dependent variable was MSD scores as measured by Nordic Body Map (NBM). The independent variables were corrective work posture. The data before and after corrective work posture were compared and tested by Wilcoxon test. Results: MSD scores 1, 2, and 3 days after corrective work posture were lower than before corrective work posture, and all of them were statistically significant. Conclusions: Corrective work posture is effective to alleviate MSD symptoms among saleswomen.

Background: Wasting is a priority global public health problem. It is estimated that wasting affects 52 million children (19 million with severe wasting). Each year, approximately 800,000 deaths are attributed to wasting (60% of which are attributable to severe wasting). This study aimed to examine the association of birth weight and food intake with the risk of wasting in children under five in Boyolali, Central Java. Subjects and Method: A case control study was carried out in Boyolali, Central Java, from April to May 2018. Twenty five posyandus (integrated health posts) were selected for this study. A random sample of 8 children under five was selected from each posyandu resulting in a total sample of 200 children. The dependent variable was wasting. The independent variables were birth weight and nutritional intake. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The risk of wasting reduced with normal birth weight (OR= 0.84; 95% CI= 0.47 to 1.26; p<0.001) and good child nutritional intake (OR= 0.87; 95% CI= 0.49 to 1.19; p<0.001). Conclusion: The risk of wasting reduces with normal birth weight and good child nutritional intake. Keywords: wasting, birth weight, child nutritional intake

Background: HIV continues to be a major global public health issue, having claimed more than 35 million lives so far. In 2017, 940,000 people died from HIVrelated causes globally. There were approximately 36.9 million people living with HIV at the end of 2017 with 1.8 million people becoming newly infected in 2017 globally. Previous study reported that there are two types of men: “adventurous” ones and “loyal” ones. The adventurous ones were said to go from work to the street, and to forget their homes. Housewives living with an adventurous type of husband are hypothesized to have a higher risk of HIV infection. This study aimed to examine the effect of maternal knowledge and husband job type on HIV infection among housewives in Balige, North Sumatera. Subjects and Method: This was a case control study conducted at AIDS HKBP Balige committee, North Sumatera. A sample of 90 housewives was selected for this study, consisting of 45 housewives with positive HIV and 45 housewives with negative HIV. The dependent variable was HIV infection. The independent variables were maternal knowledge and husband job type (in-town versus out-of-town job type). Data on HIV infection status were obtained from the medical record. The other data were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The risk of HIV infection increased with poor maternal knowledge (OR= 3.43; 95% CI= 1.81 to 6.49; p<0.001) and out-of-town husband job type (OR= 2.50; 95% CI= 0.95 to 6.52; p= 0.063). Conclusion: The risk of HIV infection increases with poor maternal knowledge and out-of-town husband job type.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world’s deadliest communicable diseases. In 2016, 10.4 million people fell ill with TB, and 1.7 million died from the disease (including 0.4 million among people with HIV). Over 95% of TB deaths occur in low and middle-income countries. Seven countries account for 64% of the total, with India leading the count, followed by Indonesia, China, Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, and South Africa. Given that most deaths from TB are preventable, the death toll from the disease is still unacceptably high and efforts to combat it must be accelerated. This study aimed to determine the effects of contact history and family income on the risk of pulmonary TB in Padangsidimpuan, North Sumatera. Subejcts and Method: This was a case control study conducted at several Puskesmas (Community Health Center) in Padangsidimpuan, North Sumatera. A total of 90 patients consisting of 45 TB cases and 45 controls were selected for this study. The dependent variable was pulmonary TB. The independent variables were contact history and family income. Pulmonary TB cases were determined by sputum acid fast tuberculosis (AFT) bacilli test. The other data were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The risk of pulmonary TB increased with history of TB contact (OR= 4,01; 95% CI= 1.67 to 9.66; p= 0.002) and low family income (OR= 2.53; 95% CI= 1.07 to 5.9; p= 0.033). Conclusion: The risk of pulmonary TB increases with history of TB contact and low family income.

Background: Subjective well-being (SWB) is a self-reported measure of well-being, which comprises three distinct but often related components of wellbeing: frequent positive affect, infrequent negative affect, and cognitive evaluations such as life satisfaction. Psychological well-being (PWB) consists of positive relation-ships with others, personal mastery, autonomy, a feeling of purpose and meaning in life, and personal growth and development. This study aimed to estimate the correlation between SWB and PWB among university students. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Psychology Study Program, Faculty of Public Health, Nusa Cendana University, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, from March to April 2018. A total sample of 211 students was selected for this study. The study variables were SWB and PWB. The data were collected by pre-tested questionnaire and analyzed by correlation. Results: SWB was strongly and positively correlated with PWB (r= 0.71; p<0.001). Conclusion: Subjective well-being is strongly and positively correlated with psychological well-being.

Background: Immunodepression is an absence or deficient supply of the components of either humoral or cellular immunity, or both. Previous studies show that the central nervous system and the immune system interact in complex ways. Better insight into these interactions may be relevant to the treatment of patients with stroke and other forms of central nervous system injury. This study aimed to determine immunodepression as a risk factor of infection in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Subjects and Method: This was a cohort study conducted in Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital, Semarang, Central Java. A sample of 89 patients with post-acute ischemic stroke who had been hospitalized for ≥5 days was selected for this study as the exposed group and nonstroke patients as non-exposed group. The dependent variable was immunodepression infection as indicated by high leucocytes, high neutrophils, low lymphocytes, low monocytes. The independent variable was post-acute ischemic stroke. The data were obtained from the medical record. The data were analyzed by a chi-square test with Risk Ratio (RR) as the measure of association. Results: Post-acute ischemic stroke was associated with an increased risk of leucocytosis (RR= 3.95%; 95% CI= 1.59 to 3.27), neutrophilia (RR= 1.98; 95% CI= 1.69 to 12.63), lymphocytopenia (RR= 1.77; 95% CI= 1.51 to 1.98), monocytopenia (RR= 1.85%; 95% CI= 1.33 to 1.92). Conclusion: Acute ischemic stroke increases the risk of infection due to immunodepression. Keywords: acute ischemic stroke, immunodepression, infection

Background: The literature suggests beliefs and religious practices are associated with: improved physical and mental health outcomes; having a beneficial effect on immune function; welfare; higher levels of satisfaction with life; hope; optimism; lower rates of anxiety and depression. This study aimed to determine the effect of dzikir tahmid relaxation therapy on the reduction of blood sugar level among patients with diabetes mellitus in Kudus, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This study was a quasi-experiment (non-randomized) before and after with control group design conducted in Kudus, Central Java. A sample of 32 patients with type 2 of DM was selected for this study and allocated into 2 groups: 16 patients in the dzikir tahmid relaxation group and 16 patients in the control group. The dependent variable was blood sugar level. The independent variable was dzikir tahmid relaxation therapy. The data of blood sugar level was measured by blood glucose meter. The other data were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by t-test. Results: The reduction in blood sugar level in the dzikir tahmid relaxation therapy group was greater than the control group (p= 0.021). Conclusion: Dzikir tahmid relaxation therapy is effective to help reduce blood sugar level among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
