Abstract BackgroundPersonal protective equipment is designed to protect workers from serious workplace injuries or illnesses resulting from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards. ObjectiveTo determine Personal Protective Equipment utilization and its associated factor based on health belief model among large scale factory workers in Debre-Birhan, Ethiopia. MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was employed in Debre Berhan Town, North Shoa Ethiopia from April 1 st to May 1 st , 2021 using an interviewer administered structured questionnaires. A total of 412 samples were selected by systematic random sampling method. The data was entered by Epi-data version 3.1 and analyzed by SPSS. variables with a p-value of 0.2 was fitted for multiple logistic regressions and a p-value of <0.05 was statistically significant. ResultA total of 412 workers were participated in the study with a 100% response rate. The mean age was 29 (±7.3) years. Most workers 367 (89 %) knew that PPE can prevent work related injury and illness. Over all 172 (41.7 %) of the workers were considered to have good PPE utilization. Perceived susceptibility [AOR=1.2, 95 %, CI (1.076-1.38)], perceived severity, [AOR=1.1, 95 %, CI (1.088-1.163)], perceived self-efficacy, [AOR=1.2, 95 %, CI (1.082-1.349)], and Perceived barrier [AOR=0.87, 95 %, CI (0.800 -0.956)] were found to be significant predictors of good PPE utilization.

Introduction: Based on the survey data in one of the PLTUs in East Java from January-November 2019, there were 9.134 findings of non-compliance with PPE. In addition, based on the audit data from October to November 2019, there were 125 findings of non-compliance with the use of PPE. The factors causing this non-compliance could be seen from the characteristics of the workers or could be based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) approach through 6 constructs. Based on these data, this article aimsto analyze a model of factors that have a direct and indirect effect on the use of PPE on PLTU contractor workers in East Java. The researchers used the Health Belief Model approach because the use of PPE for workers is an effort related to healthy behavior in the workplace. Methods: This research was a quantitative research. The total sample was 100 workers from a population of 400 contractors workers, based on the Slovin methodand as a fulfillment of the path analysis requirement. The analyses of direct and indirect effects between variables used a path analysis method. Results: The results of data processing showa direct effect of perceived benefits (t=4,837), cues to action (t=5,990), perceived severity (t=2,131), knowledge (t=3,183), and perceived susceptibility (t=2,212) on the use of PPE, while education iis known to have an indirect effect on the use of PPE through knowledge (t=2,222). Conclusion: Perceived benefits, cues to action, perceived severity, knowledge, and perceived susceptibility have a direct effect on the use of PPE. However, education has an indirect effect on the use of PPE through knowledge.Keywords: health belief model, occupational diseases, path analysis, personal protective equipment

Latar Belakang & Tujuan: Penyalahgunaan narkoba telah mencapai situasi yang mengkhawatirkan, pada tahun 2015 terdapat 63.873 kasus penyalahgunaan dan pada tahun 2017 provinsi Kalimantan Timur berada diposisi ke empat pada tingkat nasional dengan prevalensi 2,5% penyalahguna terbanyak. Narkoba memiliki dampak negatif bagi kersehatan mental, fisik, psikologis. Oleh sebab itu diadakan upaya pencegahan yaitu rehabilitasi untuk memulihkan  kemampuan fisik, mental dan sosial penyalahguna narkoba yang bersangkutan.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi residen dalam menjalani rehabilitasi dengan pendekatan Health Belief Model Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional . Dianalisis dengan uji korelasi rank spearman. Responden penelitian ini adalah residen yang menjalani rehabilitasi sebanyak 30 responden. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa empat komponen HBM yang berhubungan dengan perilaku patuh residen dalam menjalani rehabilitasi yaitu perceived susceptibility (p value= 0,007), perceived severity (p value=0,043), perceived benefit (p value=0,045), selfefficacy (p value=0,006). Kemudian perceived barrier tidak memiliki hubungan dengan perilaku patuh residen dalam menjalani rehabilitasi (p value= 0,218). Kesimpulan: Infromasi tentang dampak narkoba masih dibutuhkan bagi residen serta melakukan kontak ke orang terdekat residen agar memberikan dukungan emosional, pujian dan penghargaan.

Sebanyak 1,13 juta orang di seluruh dunia menderita Hipertensi, prevalensi penderita Hipertensi di dunia adalah 22%, dimana prevalensi tertinggi berada di Afrika 27%, dan terendah di Amerika 18% (WHO, 2020). Pada tahun 2019 Hipertensi merupakan penyakit menular tertinggi dengan 2.630 kasus di Puskesmas Kalirejo. Self-care adalah strategi utama dari promosi kesehatan pada level individu dan merupakan pergeseran filosofi dari “(upaya) penyembuhan (penyakit)”  menjadi filosofi ”peduli (kesehatan)” khususnya pengendalian penyakit kronis seperti Hipertensi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan komponen HBM dengan self-care Hipertensi di wilayah kerja UPT.Kalirejo Kabupaten Pesawaran. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan pengambilan data primer. Sampel sebesar 360 responden dan cara pengambilan sampel secara cluster random sampling lalu kemudian dianalisis dengan chi square dan regresi logistik. Terdapat hubungan Self-care Hipertensi dengan jenis kelamin (p-value <0.001; OR 2.6), perceived susceptibility (p-value <0.001; OR 3.4), perceived severity (p-value 0.004 OR= 5,1), perceived benefit (p-value <0.001; OR=2,3), Perceived barrier (p-value <0.001;), perceived self-eficacy  (p-value <0.001; OR 5.4), cues to action (p-value <0.001; OR 2.8). Variabel  yang dominan berhubungan dengan Self-Care adalah jenis kelamin. Saran: hendaknya meningkatkan kegiatan edukasi pada kelompok sasaran khususnya perempuan penderita Hipertensi dalam kerangka Germas dan PIS-PK.

Background: By products of wood processing such as wood dust and noise are well known with respect to occupational health effects in workers at plywood plants. Previous studies suggested that workers in sawmills, plywood/particle board factories, and veneer plants are at risk of developing allergenic disorders, lung disease, and cancer. Employers have duties concerning the provision and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) at work. PPE is equipment that will protect the user against the risk of accidents or of adverse effects on health. This study aimed to investigate factors affecting the use of personal protective equipment among workers at a plywood plants. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Lumajang, East Java, in December 2019. A sample of 200 workers was selected randomly. The dependent variable was the use of PPE. The independent variables were motivation, training, attitude, outcome expectation, perceived benefit, vicarious experience, observational learning, regulatory compliance, and reinforcement. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The use PPE increased with high motivation (OR= 7.00; 95% CI= 1.46 to 33.54; p= 0.015), had trained (OR= 22.56; 95% CI= 3.43 to 148.35; p= 0.001), positive attitude (OR= 8.66; 95% CI= 1.71 to 43.84; p= 0.009), high outcome expectation (OR= 5.71; 95% CI= 0.83 to 39.02; p= 0.075), high perceived benefit (OR= 8.60; 95% CI= 1.63 to 45.32; p= 0.011), vicarious experience (OR= 16.89; 95% CI= 3.13 to 91.01; p= 0.001), observational learning (OR= 25.78; 95% CI= 4.36 to 152.54; p<0.001), compliance to regulation (OR= 5.80; 95% CI= 0.93 to 35.83; p= 0.058), and reinforcement (OR= 4.83; 95% CI= 1.14 to 20.47; p= 0.032). Conclusion: The use PPE increases with high motivation, had trained, positive attitude, high outcome expectation, high perceived benefit, vicarious experience, observational learning, compliance to regulation, and reinforcement.

Abstract Introduction Preparations of health systems to accommodate large number of severely ill COVID-19 patients in March/April 2020 has a significant impact on nuclear medicine departments. Materials and Methods A web-based questionnaire was designed to differentiate the impact of the pandemic on inpatient and outpatient nuclear medicine operations and on public versus private health systems, respectively. Questions were addressing the following issues: impact on nuclear medicine diagnostics and therapy, use of recommendations, personal protective equipment, and organizational adaptations. The survey was available for 6 days and closed on April 20, 2020. Results 113 complete responses were recorded. Nearly all participants (97 %) report a decline of nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures. The mean reduction in the last three weeks for PET/CT, scintigraphies of bone, myocardium, lung thyroid, sentinel lymph-node are –14.4 %, –47.2 %, –47.5 %, –40.7 %, –58.4 %, and –25.2 % respectively. Furthermore, 76 % of the participants report a reduction in therapies especially for benign thyroid disease (-41.8 %) and radiosynoviorthesis (–53.8 %) while tumor therapies remained mainly stable. 48 % of the participants report a shortage of personal protective equipment. Conclusions Nuclear medicine services are notably reduced 3 weeks after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic reached Germany, Austria and Switzerland on a large scale. We must be aware that the current crisis will also have a significant economic impact on the healthcare system. As the survey cannot adapt to daily dynamic changes in priorities, it serves as a first snapshot requiring follow-up studies and comparisons with other countries and regions.

Abstract    More than 90% of cases of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) / Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrom (AIDS) in children, occur due to transmission from mother to child. Prevention of unwanted pregnancies with contraception in HIV positive women is important strategy to reduce the rate of mother to child HIV/AIDS transmission. The practice of contraceptive use in HIV positive women is strongly influenced by individual beliefs regarding the benefits and effectiveness of contraception for the prevention of mother to child HIV/AIDS transmission. This study aims to determine the relationship of perceptions based on the construct of the Health Belief Model (HBM) wich consists of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, self efficacy, and cues to action and based on pluralistic ignorance on the practice of contraceptive use among woman of childbearing age recipients of antiretroviral in Bandung. The design of this study was quantitative non-experimental with survey methods. Data were collected for one month, using questionnaire from 188 women of childbearing age  receiving  antiretroviral drughs taken by consecutive sampling (non-probability) technique. Data were analyzed by logistic regression. The results revealed perceived susceptibility is an HBM construct that affects contraceptive use (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR):4.5). While knowledge (AOR:7.3) and age (AOR:0.801), emerged as other factors that influence contraceptive use among WUS recipients of antiretroviral in Bandung. The HBM is used to predict contraceptive behavior in women. HIV positive women who believe themselves to be at high risk of infecting HIV/AIDS from mother to child will tend to use contraception, besides that knowledge is the basis for HIV positive women taking action to use contraception. Abstrak Lebih dari 90% kasus Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrom (AIDS) pada anak, terjadi akibat penularan dari ibu ke anak. Pencegahan kehamilan yang tidak direncanakan dengan kontrasepsi pada wanita HIV positif merupakan strategi penting untuk menurunkan angka penularan HIV/AIDS dari ibu ke anak. Praktik penggunaan kontrasepsi oleh wanita HIV positif sangat dipengaruhi oleh keyakinan individu terkait manfaat dan efektivitas kontrasepsi terhadap pencegahan penularan HIV/AIDS dari ibu ke anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan persepsi berdasarkan konstruk Health Belief Model (HBM) yang terdiri dari perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, self efficacy, dan cues to action serta berdasarkan ketidaktahuan majemuk terhadap praktik penggunaan kontrasepsi pada Wanita Usia Subur (WUS) penerima obat antiretroviral di Kota Bandung. Desain penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif non-experimental dengan metode survei. Data dikumpulkan selama satu bulan, menggunakan kuesioner dari 188 WUS penerima obat antiretroviral yang diambil dengan teknik consecutive sampling (non-probability). Data dianalisis dengan regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan perceived susceptibility adalah konstruk HBM yang berpengaruh terhadap penggunaan kontrasepsi (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR):4,5). Sementara pengetahuan (AOR:7,3) dan usia (AOR:0,801) muncul sebagai faktor-faktor lain yang berpengaruh terhadap praktik penggunaan kontrasepsi pada WUS penerima obat antiretroviral di Kota Bandung. HBM digunakan untuk memprediksi perilaku kontrasepsi pada wanita. Wanita HIV positif yang meyakini dirinya berisiko tinggi dapat menularkan HIV/AIDS ke anak, akan cenderung menggunakan kontrasepsi, disamping itu pengetahuan menjadi dasar bagi wanita HIV positif dalam mengambil tindakan untuk menggunakan kontrasepsi.
