ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the consumption of alcohol and tobacco by women and the occurrence of intimate partner violence against women. Method: a cross-sectional and analytical study with 369 women in the age group of 20 to 59 years, attended in Basic Health Units of five municipalities of Piaui, Brazil. The instruments used in data collection were Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, Non-Student Drugs Use Questionnaire and Revised Conflict Tactics Scales. Data were analyzed according to descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis with Pearson's chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: the overall prevalence of intimate partner violence against women was 64.0%, 61.5% of whom were victims of psychological aggression, 33.6% of physical abuse and 17.1% of sexual coercion. In addition, 50.1% and 17.9% of the women reported alcohol and tobacco consumption, respectively, which were statistically associated with the occurrence of intimate partner violence. Alcohol consumption increased by 2.15 times the chance of intimate partner raping (p=0.001, 95% CI=1.37-3.38), while smoking increased this chance by 2.04 times (p=0.038, 95% CI=1.04-4.00). Conclusion: high prevalence of alcohol and tobacco use by women and intimate partner violence were identified. In addition, it was found that the consumption of these substances by women is a risk factor associated with the occurrence of intimate partner violence in the female universe.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and more often infects lung organs than the other body organs . Healthy people at home with pulmonary TB sufferers are a group that is very susceptible to contracting the disease. One of possible factors that is at risk for pulmonary TB is the physical condition of the house which includes ventilation, occupancy, density, lighting, floor conditions, humidity, and temperature. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the physical condition of the house on pulmonary TB transmission in the family members in the working area of Health Center East Perak Surabaya.This research is an observational analytic research with cross-sectional study design. The data collection is done by interviewing, observing, and measuring the physical condition of the house. The population in this study were 51 houses with pulmonary tuberculosis patients and a large sample of 45 houses with pulmonary TB patients. The data obtained were then analyzed analytically using Exact Fisher test.          The results of univariate analysis showed pulmonary tuberculosis transmission in family members (17.8%), the ventilation was unfullfilled the requirements (68.9%), lighting was unfullfilled the requirements (75.6%), the temperature was unfullfilled the requirements (68.9%) , humidity was unfullfilled the requirements (35.6%), floor conditions was unfullfilled the requirements (2.2%), and occupancy of density was unfullfilled the requirements (68.9%). The results of bivariate analysis showed that there was an influence on pulmonary TB transmission in family members, by the temperature (Pvalue = 0.007) and humidity (Pvalue = 0.017).The conclusion, the temperature and humidity affect the transmission of pulmonary TB in family members; ventilation, lighting, floor conditions, and occupancy of density do not affect the transmission of pulmonary TB in family members. It is recommended to do data collection and counseling about healthy homes and TB disease, treatment for all TB patients completely, and check family members immediately if they have symptoms of coughing for more than 2 weeks. Keywords      : Tuberculosis, family members, physical condition of the house.

BACKGROUND: There has been a substantial scarcity of personal protective equipment (PPE) in several countries during the ongoing pandemic of Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Nurses in Indonesia also experience a shortage of PPE as the number of COVID-19 patients in Indonesia continues to increase. There is no accurate data yet regarding the exact number of PPE scarcity for nurses. AIM: This study aimed to describe the availability of PPE and adverse consequences long-term used off the PPE and examine the relationship between shortage PPE and nurse behavior response in Indonesia. METHODS: An online-based survey was used to collect data on the nurse, regardless of their discipline, training background, or degree of experience, who are directly involved in managing COVID-19 patients. In this study, a total of 211 questionnaires were gathered. The survey was conducted using the Google form. This study employs univariate and bivariate analysis. RESULTS: Most of the mask N95 provision reaches up to 80%. The second is the hazmat (71%) and the lowest in the gloves (30%). Around 71% of respondents generally resist removing their PPE until the shift is complete. Then, 62% of the respondents are ready to propose to the leaders of the PPE, and 51% show that they are modifying the PPE. Nasal blisters are the most prevalent type of injury sustained by nurses while wearing PPE (86%), followed by headaches and dehydration. This study found that most respondents (60.7%) with insufficient PPE had a positive behavior reaction, whereas just 18% had a poor behavior reaction. CONCLUSION: Most nurses have difficulties accessing N95 and experience some adverse effects of prolonging PPE use. Policymakers should take urgent action to tackle these concerns.

BACKGROUND: The irrational use of medicine in the family is a serious problem. Advances in education, economy, availability of medicines, regulations, and technology have encouraged people to self-medicate in overcoming their illness. Self-medication behavior is not only carried out by adults but also by the elderly, students, and even children. Self-medication can provide positive health benefits if done correctly starting from selecting, obtaining, using, storing, and disposing medicines. On the other hand, if self-medication measures are carried out inappropriately, they can lead to various drug-related risks. AIM: Therefore, this study aimed to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and families practice in selecting, obtaining, using, storing, and disposing medicine and to identify the factors influence of this construct. METHOD: The study was conducted using an analytical method with a cross-sectional approach using a questionnaire for families in Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatera, Indonesia, namely, in 2x11 Enam Lingkung and Sungai Garingging Districts. The total sample size obtained was 500 families. Bivariate analysis was determined using Chi-squared test and multivariate analysis was determined using linear logistic regression. RESULTS: Data from current study found that the percentage of the average score of family knowledge of selecting, obtaining, using, storing, and disposing medicines was in a low category (57.53%), family attitudes were in the negative category (59.38%) and family actions were in the negative category (55.27%). The results of multivariate analysis using linear logistic regression showed that the sub-variables that influenced the knowledge, attitudes, and actions of families about medicines were pharmacists/doctors as the main source of information about drugs (p = 0.006), education in the category of secondary education (p = 0.002) and mothers as family members who had a major role in managing medicines (p = 0.000). CONCLUSION: The results show that knowledge, attitudes, and practice of families about medicines are still low and very limited. Factors that influence knowledge, attitudes, and practice of families selecting, obtaining, using, storing, and disposing medicine are pharmacists/doctors as the main source of information about medicine, education, and mothers as family members who have a major role in managing medicines. The lack of knowledge, attitudes, and practice related to medicines and the important role of the family is the reason for the very importance of family-based medicines education.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The aetiology of tinnitus and the factors that contribute to the exacerbation from mild to severe tinnitus are poorly known. Particularly, a role of genetics has been proposed for tinnitus, although this has not been conclusive. In order to establish a possible role for heritability in our population, we explored the history of tinnitus among first degree family members of those suffering from tinnitus using cross-sectional community-based strategy.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> There were 300 subjects with idiopathic tinnitus with mean (±SD) age of 51.88 (±15.11, range=19-80 years) comprising 169 males and 131 females.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Tinnitus was severe in 37.9% and bilateral in 65.1% while 26.6% reported having family members with history of tinnitus. TInnitus was significantly more severe (p&lt;0.001) and more frequent (p&lt;0.001); and the psychological distress related to tinnitus (p&lt;0.001) measured by the mini-TQ was worse among those with family history compared to those without. Bivariate analysis reveals that the presence of tinnitus in other family members, occurrence of tinnitus for more than 3 months (p=0.003), increasing age (0.001) and higher mean mini-TQ scores (0.001) showed significant association with severity of tinnitus. Logistic regression reveals that presence of tinnitus in other family members increases the odds of frequency of tinnitus by 5.08 (95% CI=1.70-15.12), elevates the mean scores of the mini-TQ by 1.31 (95% CI=1.20-1.44) while increasing age greater than 50 years increases the odds of severity of disease by 2.81 (95%CI=1.59-4.94).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> We conclude that the findings of significant correlation between presence of tinnitus in first degree relatives and severity of tinnitus among the subjects provides an empirical evidence to explore a possible genetic aetiology for severe tinnitus in our population.</p>
