Background: Asthma is a common disease in Saudi Arabia that affects many individuals. Children are profoundly affected, and the impact of the disease is noticeable in the frequent visits to the emergency departments, missed school days, recurrent hospitalizations, and high death rates. Our study is aimed at identifying the determinant of bronchial asthma risk factors based on the ecological model.Methods: A case-control study was conducted. Samples were randomly selected from two major hospitals in Medina Region, Saudi Arabia, including children aged between 1-14 years. A chi-square test was used to see any differences across categories between cases and control. Significant factors associated with asthma in bivariate analysis were submitted to conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results: Factors significantly associated with asthma were being obese (OR=5.10; 95% CI 2.09-12.42), having a history of allergic rhinitis (OR=7.10; 95% CI 3.24-15.52), born preterm (OR=6.06; 95% CI 2.05-17.87), living in a carpeted home (OR=3.06; 95% CI 1.41-6.64), using a gas stove (OR=9.09; 95% CI 3.93-21.03), playing with plush toys (OR=4.58; 95% CI 2.04-10.30), living in a home distanced less than 500 meters from the main traffic road (OR=3.68; 95% CI 1.27-10.70), less than 500 meters from a plant farm (OR=3.78; 95% CI 1.68-10.70), and less than 500 meters from an electric station (OR=5.57; 95% CI 1.73-17.93).Conclusions: This study confirms the associations between individual, outdoor-indoor environmental factors, and bronchial asthma among children in Medina. This study is a step forward into the future of interventional programs to control bronchial asthma among children.

The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on various health conditions. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on body weight and body mass index (BMI) in Saudi Arabia. We used electronic health records obtained from a healthcare system representing five hospitals in three different regions in the Kingdom to examine the change in weight utilizing a longitudinal design. The study included all adults who had visited outpatient clinics in two different time points, pre-2020 (years 2018 and 2019 prior to COVID-19) and post-2020 (the year 2021). Weight and BMI changes in percentages were described. Also, bivariate chi-square test, paired t-test, and multivariable multinomial logistic regression model were used for the analyses. A total of 165,279 individuals were included in the study. On average, a significant weight gain of 0.33 kg (95% CI: 0.29–0.36) was observed in our study. Approximately 10% of the population had shifted to either overweight or obese BMI classes during the study period, as 4.8% of those with normal BMI pre-2020 had shifted to overweight or obese classes at post-2020, and 5.1% of those who were overweight had shifted to obese class. Also, 23.1% of the population had gained 5% or more of their pre-2020 weight, while 17% had lost 5% or more. Young individuals were over three times more likely to gain 5% or more than older individuals (OR: 3.34; 95% CI: 3.12–3.56). Females had 24% higher odds to gain 5% or more of their pre-2020 weight than males (OR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.21–1.27). Diabetics were 27% more likely to lose 5% or more than non-diabetics (OR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.23–1.31). Our findings provide insights into the impact of COVID-19 on weight and population health. Further investment in interventions for weight management is warranted during similar circumstances such as lockdowns due to infection waves or new variants. Future studies are also needed to explore the modifications that have occurred during the pandemic in the weight-related lifestyle factors such as dietary choices and physical activity levels.

The Impact

Objective: Elementary school age children nutrition problems are the impact of an imbalance between food intake and nutrients released by the body. This can be caused by not having breakfast habits. Eating breakfast has the benefit of maintaining endurance and increasing learning concentration. The breakfast habit provides the energy and nutrients needed to carry out various activities throughout the day such as school, study, and play optimally. This study aims to determine the relationship between breakfast habits and nutritional status of elementary school children.Methods: This research was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah Terpadu Ponorogo class 4 and 5 with a sample of 113 students. The measuring instrument used was a questionnaire to explore the variables of breakfast habits, while to determine the nutritional status of students using a weighing scale. Nutritional status was calculated IMT/U. The bivariate analysis test used the Chi Square test of significance level 0.05Results: Chi square test results obtained p-value 0.406 means that there is no relationship between breakfast habits and nutritional status of school age children at SD Muhammadiyah Terpadu Ponorogo. Many factors influence nutritional status. Respondents do not usually eat breakfast, but during recess they eat by buying a canteen and in their daily life they like to eat vegetables and fruit so there is no problem with nutritional intake.Conclusion: Researchers recommend to the next researchers to dig deeper about the composition of the food at the time the respondent had breakfast.

Fever on children is one of those cases that cannot be ignored. Based on data from a health center from January to September 2016 there were 211 febrile children with fever. One of fever treatment is to give fever-reducing medicine, which has antipyretic effect. In this case, of course knowledge and attitudes of mothers about delivering fever medications to children is very important, because of the impact that can be caused if the fever is not handled will cause brain damage, hyperpyrexia which would cause shock, epilepsy, mental retardation or learning disabilities can even endanger the safety of life.This study was to determine the relationship and attitude of mothers who have children in delivering fever medication in Betungan health center in the city.This study was an analytical study using cross-sectional design. The study population were mothers who have children with a history of fever last 3 months in Betungan health center, with the sample size of 68 people, using accidental sampling technique. Data collection was done by direct interview using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square test at α 5%.The results showed that almost half of respondents (36.8%) had less knowledge about medication for fever, almost half of respondents (48.5%) had unfavorable attitude in granting febrifuge, and almost half of respondents (26.5%) whose toddlers who were not given medicine for fever. There was a relationship between knowledge of mothers who have children in drug delivery for fever in Betungan health center in Bengkulu City (ρ = 0.001), and there was a correlation between the attitudes of mothers who have children in drug delivery for fever in Betungan health center in Bengkulu City 2016 (ρ = 0.009).It is expected that Betungan health center to be more intensive to provide counseling and health promotion and provision of febrile febrifuge, such as in The Integrated Health Center, at village programs, as well as providing leaflets / brochures on granting fever medications appropriately.

Background: Meningioma is a pathological condition in the central nervous system (CNS), while obesity is defined as excess fat accumulation in our body, which is associated with adverse effects on health. Obesity is characterized by an increase in Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR). Research on the relationship of BMI, WHR with meningioma has been widely carried out in various countries in Europe, however it has not been done much in the Asian countries, especially in Indonesia. Objective: To prove BMI and WHR as risk factors for the incidence of meningioma after being controlled by confounding variable age and sex. Research methods: This is a Case-control research involving 44 meningioma as patients and 44 family members as controls. The study was conducted at outpatient clinic at Kariadi Doctors Hospital from May 2019 to June 2019. We collected data on age, sex, BMI, and WHR. Bivariate analysis using Chi-square test and multivariate analysis with logistic regression was performed. Results: Bivariate test results showed a significant relationship between meningioma with BMI (p< 0.001), WHR (p < 0.001), and sex (p < 0.001). Multivariate test results found that the variables that most influence the incidence of meningioma were BMI, WHR, and sex. Conclusions: Besides BMI, the increase of WHR and female sex are risk factors for meningioma incidence.

Implementation of IMD in hospitals has decreased from the previous year and has not reached the target set by the government. Some IMD implementation processes have not been carried out according to applicable standards. So that babies do not get an IMD in accordance with existing SOPs. The purpose of this study was to determine the determinant factors associated with the implementation of the IMD by midwives in the Midwifery and Maternity Room Emergency Room (IGD) at the Anutapura General Hospital in Palu. This research method is analytical with cross sectional approach. The population of this study was that all midwives in the obstetrics emergency room and maternity room at Anutapura Palu Hospital were 37 respondents. The sample in this study is total sampling. The analysis used was univariate, and bivariate analysis using the chi square test with a confidence level of 95% (α = 0.05). The results of statistical tests on variable knowledge of midwives with the implementation of IMD p value: 0.018 (p value <0.05). APN training with the implementation of IMD p value: 0.697 (p value> 0.05). length of work with the implementation of IMD p value: 0.029 (p value <0.05). and peer support with the implementation of IMD p value: 0.007 (p value <0.05). Conclusions there is a relationship between knowledge, length of work, peer support with the implementation of the IMD, and training factors that have nothing to do with IMD implementation. The strongest factor in the relationship is peer support. It is recommended that the Anutarapura Palu Hospital be able to motivate midwives so that they can further enhance their role in the implementation and provide support to their colleagues so that the implementation of the IMD can be carried out in accordance with applicable standards.Keywords: Knowledge, APN Training, Duration of work, Implementation of IMD
