Indonesia is a country endemic to dengue fever—and Bandung is one of the cities in Indonesia that is endemic to dengue fever. There have been efforts to control mosquitoes, one of which is by eradicating their nests, but this step has not optimally reduced the incidence of cases. The increase in cases is thought to have been caused by climatic variations. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between climatic variations (temperature, humidity, and rainfall) and the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). This study used a correlation design and was carried out in Bandung. This study used secondary data. The samples were taken from data on the number of DHD patients from 2016 to 2021 recorded at the Health Office of Bandung, as well as temperature, humidity, and rainfall data from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Bandung from 2016 to 2021. The correlation between variables was assessed using the person correlation test. Climatic variations that are significantly correlated with the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are minimum temperature (p=0.020, and r=-0.658), maximum temperature (p=0.006, and r=-0.739), minimum humidity (p=0.000, and r=0.825), and rainfall (p=0.037, and r=0.605). The increase in the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is caused by climatic variations (temperature, humidity, and rainfall). Therefore, it is recommended that mosquito control and DHF surveillance program should be strengthened during the season following the rainy (wet) season.

Covid-19 pandemic has an impact to the changing educational system, raising the mental health issues, including college students’ psychology. This study explores demographic and knowledge about Covid-19 associated with college student’s depression, anxiety, and stress in online classes during outbreak. We undertook a cross-sectional study by using questionnaires to explore demographic characteristics and knowledge about Covid-19 among college students during the online classes. Mental health was assessed using DASS-42. The logistic regression used to investigate the association between demographic characteristics and knowledge about Covid-19 with mental health among college students. The prevalence of depression among 599 college students was 27.5%, meanwhile the prevalence of anxiety and stress were 44.6% and 21.29%, respectively. Based on the logistic regression, being in second year (OR = .43), having friends who got infected with Covid-19 (OR=.36), and feeling worried for delaying school (OR=.40) was significantly negatively correlated with depression, whereas having difficulties in adaptation of online class (OR=1.78) was significantly positively correlated with depression. The early identification of depression, anxiety, and stress among college students is pivotal and relevant related factors should be considered when developing preventive programs, particularly during online classes.

Vaccination is of great importance for public health, and widespread acceptance of vaccination may help control the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic more effectively. In order to vaccinate a wide range of people, it is vital to know their views and the factors influencing their behavior. This study was designed to characterize people’s views regarding corona virus (COVID-19) vaccination, health locus of control, and health literacy in Iran. This cross-sectional study included 384 people aged 18 to 60 years who attended comprehensive health service centers (Public centers). People were included in the study by stratified random sampling. The tool for data collection was a questionnaire that included demographic questions, questions to examine people’s views on corona virus vaccination, and standard questionnaire items on health locus of control and health literacy. The collected data were entered into SPSS 20 and analyzed with descriptive and analytical tests (Spearman’s correlation coefficient and logistic regression model). The average age of the participants was 33.35 ± 11.38 years. Most people (57.9%) were married and had some level of higher education (60.4%). Most people (86.2%) had a history of receiving the vaccine and had a positive attitude towards vaccination. On average, 41.8% of people had sufficient health literacy. Women had a more positive attitude towards vaccination (P>0.001). Also, health literacy in basic skills was found to have a significant positive relationship with internal health locus of control (P>0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the variables, including attitude (OR=1.092, P=0.001), internal health locus of control (OR=1.072, P=0.001), and health literacy (OR=1.25, P=0.001) were predictors of receiving the vaccine. Considering that health literacy improves people’s positive attitude towards vaccines and plays a key role in adopting healthy behaviors, the present findings emphasize that programs organized for the general public should include a strategy to promote health literacy.

Depression poses a significant and widespread issue in numerous countries and is capable of inflicting severe hardships if left untreated. However, there remains limited understanding regarding the influential factors contributing to the risk of depression among elderly individuals residing in urban areas of Thailand. Thus, this study employed a cross-sectional descriptive research approach. The research involved 735 elderly participants residing in urban regions of Phitsanulok Province, Thailand, selected through stratified sampling. Data collection included interviews, with subsequent analysis incorporating percentage calculations, means, standard deviation, and binary logistic regression analysis. Findings revealed several risk factors associated with depression among urban elderly individuals, encompassing single status, dietary inadequacy, a close relative with the history of depression, low self-esteem, and low social support. Collectively, these factors predict a 57.90% risk of depression among urban elderly individuals, with a predictive accuracy rate of 97.40%. The study outcomes provide relevant agencies with valuable insights for monitoring and safeguarding urban elderly populations against the risk of depression, with potential applications in other contexts as deemed appropriate.

Enhanced Recovery after Cesarean Surgery (ERACS) is an evidence-based, interdisciplinary method used before, during, and after surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of ERACS on patients’ pain levels and satisfaction during their hospital stay. This research is expected to be a consideration for the development of hospital midwifery services in the future. This study adopted quantitative research methodology with a quasi-experimental posttest design only approach. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. There were two types of subject criteria: the intervention group with ERACS and control groups of mothers who had conventional Cesarean sections (C-sections). A total of 140 respondents were divided into the control and experimental groups, with 70 respondents each. Pain levels were measured using the visual analog scale (VAS). Patient satisfaction data were collected using a pretested questionnaire and analyzed using IBM-SPSS version 22 statistics. There was a significant difference between pain levels at rest 24 h after C-section (p < 0.001) and at movement 24 h post-C-section (p < 0.001) in the control group compared to the experimental group. The ERACS method has been shown to be effective in reducing pain levels at rest and at movement in patients 24 h after C-section (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between ERACS and non-ERACS patient satisfaction, but the customer satisfaction index (CSI) indicated that the patients were very satisfied. The ERACS method has been shown to be effective in reducing pain levels in C-section patients. This study also proved that the ERACS patients were very satisfied, based on the CSI results. Therefore, the ERACS method must be used and improved to enhance hospital midwifery services.
剖宫产术后增强恢复(ERACS)是一种以证据为基础的跨学科方法，应用于手术前、手术中和手术后。本研究的目的是确定ERACS对患者住院期间疼痛水平和满意度的有效性。本研究可望为未来医院助产服务的发展提供参考。本研究采用准实验后测设计的定量研究方法。使用的抽样技术是有目的的抽样。有两种受试者标准:采用ERACS的干预组和采用常规剖宫产术的对照组。140名受访者被分为对照组和实验组，每组70名受访者。采用视觉模拟量表(VAS)测量疼痛水平。采用预测问卷收集患者满意度数据，并使用IBM-SPSS version 22进行统计分析。剖宫产后24 h休息时疼痛程度差异有统计学意义(p <0.001)和术后24 h运动时(p <0.001)，对照组与实验组比较差异有统计学意义。ERACS方法已被证明可有效降低患者在剖腹产后24小时休息和活动时的疼痛水平(p <0.001)。患者满意度与非患者满意度无显著差异，但患者满意度指数(CSI)显示患者非常满意。ERACS方法已被证明在减少剖腹产患者的疼痛水平方面是有效的。本研究在CSI结果的基础上也证明了ERACS患者非常满意。因此，必须使用和改进ERACS方法来提高医院助产服务。

Village health volunteers (VHVs) play crucial leadership roles in promoting health behavior changes including searching for, controlling, and preventing the spread of COVID-19 within their communities. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between health literacy and COVID-19 prevention behaviors of 425 VHVs in Samut Songkhram Province, Thailand, who were selected using a multistage sampling method. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis to determine correlations. Results revealed that most participants demonstrated good overall health literacy (63.3%), with COVID-19 prevention behaviors at a high level (53.6%). A positive correlation was observed between overall health literacy and COVID-19 prevention behavior (r = 0.103, p-value < 0.05). After adjusting for age in years, the overall health literacy score was found to be significantly related to the COVID-19 prevention behavior score (Beta = 0.146). These findings can be utilized to further enhance health literacy among VHVs in Samut Songkhram Province, Thailand and serve as a guideline to promote effective disease prevention behaviors within local communities.

Indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA) is a general rapid diagnosis procedure in melioidosis patients combined with clinical information. The Burkholderia pseudomallei culture technique requires prolonged time before getting culture results. Related factors of bacterial culture proven melioidosis and the appropriate cut-off point for IHA are unfashionable and need to be updated. A cross-sectional study was conducted among melioidosis patients using data reported in the medical records. Univariable analysis was performed by Chi-square test and Student T-test as appropriate. Multivariable logistic regression was finally used to identify the contributing factors to bacterial culture proven cases. The results were shown as adjusted odds ratio (AdjOR) and 95%CI. Validity domains, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and likelihood ratios at each cut-off point for IHA were demonstrated. The results revealed that after adjustment for abdominal pain symptoms, diabetes mellitus (DM)(p-value < 0.001) and dyspnea symptoms (p-value = 0.025) were the associated factors of bacterial culture proven cases. The IHA titer > 1: 10240 provided the highest positive and negative predictive values, 30% and 69% respectively. Both positive and negative likelihood ratios of this cut-off point were also accounted for as 0.95 and 1.003, respectively. Health personnel should perform melioidosis diagnosis by the use of clinical information and an appropriate cut-off point for IHA, especially in diabetic patients who have dyspnea.

Cyberbullying prevalence was increasing among youth during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the factors associated with cyberbullying behaviors among youth during the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand. In total, 720 youths participated in this study, and an online questionnaire was used. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and to determine the relationship of each factor with cyberbullying behaviors, univariate analysis was utilized (e.g., an independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and one-way ANOVA). If a factor had a p-value less than 0.20, this factor was introduced into the multiple linear regression analysis. This study defines cyberbullying as aggression from a perpetrator who intends to make victims suffer and feel ashamed, unpleasant, and hurt through the use of digital technologies via mobile phones and the internet. The significant factors associated with cybervictimization were analyzed via multiple linear regression analysis. It was found that being female, having a very good family relationship, using the internet in leisure time, having social support, and cyberbullying-aggression perpetration experience were significantly associated with cyberbullying. These factors could be used to predict cybervictimization in 34.8% of cases. The main influencing factor was cyberbullying-aggression perpetration experience (β = 0.500). Social support was a significant protective factor against cybervictimization. Future research should focus on preventing cybervictimization by enhancing youth digital literacy.

In total, 720 youths participated in this study, and an online questionnaire was used. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and to determine the relationship of each factor with cyberbullying behaviors, univariate analysis was utilized (e.g., an independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and one-way ANOVA). If a factor had a p-value less than 0.20, this factor was introduced into the multiple linear regression analysis. This study defines cyberbullying as aggression from a perpetrator who intends to make victims suffer and feel ashamed, unpleasant, and hurt through the use of digital technologies via mobile phones and the internet. The significant factors associated with cybervictimization were analyzed via multiple linear regression analysis. It was found that being female, having a very good family relationship, using the internet in leisure time, having social support, and cyberbullying-aggression perpetration experience were significantly associated with cyberbullying. These factors could be used to predict cybervictimization in 34.8% of cases. The main influencing factor was cyberbullying-aggression perpetration experience (β = 0.500). Social support was a significant protective factor against cybervictimization. Future research should focus on preventing cybervictimization by enhancing youth digital literacy.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87316105","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}

Working conditions and quality of work life reflect a person’s overall quality of life and well study to date has investigated the factors contributing to depressive symptoms in people with type 2 DM in Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of depressive symptoms among people with type 2 DM in Indonesia. This was a cross‐sectional study using secondary data from the Indonesian family life survey 5 (IFLS-5). A total of 774 respondents with type 2 DM were selected for this study. The dependent variable was depressive symptoms while the independent variables were demographics, economic status, smoking, duration of diabetes, chronic conditions, self-rated health, and physical function. The center for epidemiologic studies depression scale was used to measure depressive symptoms. The data were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression. The results showed that 70.70% of respondents had depressive symptoms. The risk of experiencing depressive symptoms decreased with age ≥ 50 years (AOR= 0.40; 95%CI 0.25 to 0.64; p<0.001) and good self-rated health (AOR= 0.54; 95%CI= 0.35 to 0.81; p= 0.003). Otherwise, the risk of experiencing depressive symptoms increased with a higher level of education (AOR= 1.78; 95%CI= 1.02 to 3.12; p= 0.042) and with chronic conditions (AOR= 1.64; 95%CI= 1.07 to 2.51; p= 0.023). Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with personal health conditions including older age, level of education, self-rated health and chronic conditions. Individual and community level strategies that can improve personal health conditions can be further studied to address depressive symptoms in type 2 DM patients.

High coverage of COVID-19 vaccination is claimed to be the most effective intervention to prevent the transmission of coronavirus disease. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccination among students of the Universitas Pattimura, Ambon, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study collected information using an online questionnaire distributed to students at Universitas Pattimura in January 2021, when the COVID-19 vaccination program was initiated in Indonesia. Guided by the Health Belief Model, potential predictors in this analysis were categorized as follows: (1) sociodemographic characteristics; (2) predisposing factors; (3) perceived susceptibility; (4) perceived benefits; and (5) perceived barriers. Data were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. We found that only 42.1% of the students were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The odds of students’ willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccination decreased by 52% in students who did not perceive themselves to be at risk of contracting COVID-19 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=0.48, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.34–0.68). The odds also decreased by 97% in those who strongly disagreed that the COVID-19 vaccine was safe and effective (aOR=0.03, 95% CI: 0.01–0.08), and by 45% in those who were neutral towards the statement if COVID-19 vaccination is the solution to end the pandemic (aOR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.36–0.84). However, the odds of willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccination increased by 53% in students showing neutrality toward fear of needles (aOR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.04–2.25). The odds of willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccination in students who were neutral towards the side effects of vaccination were >3 times higher than those who were concerned about the side effects of vaccination (aOR=4.05, 95% CI: 2.61–6.26). Health promotion strategies should be accompanied by efforts to reduce the harmful effects of rumors that may hinder students’ willingness to participate in COVID-19 vaccination programs.
