WHO called suicide become a global phenomenon. There are at least 800,000 people who commit suicide each year or at least one death every 40 seconds. In fact, 79% of suicide occur in low and middle income countries from ages 15-29. Suicides have also increased in Indonesia at least in January to September 2019 by 302 cases. According to Beck et al. individuals who want to commit suicide are preceded by the suicide ideation so its appropriate to assess suicide in predicting suicide risk later in life. According to Beck et. al. it’s appropriate to assess suicide ideation to predicting suicide risk in the future. Scale For Suicide Ideation (BSS) is one of the measuring tools to assess someone’s suicide ideation by Beck et al. Some researchers in Indonesia use or refer to indicators in BSS. There are 4 studies that use BSS. 2 of them, use three indicators, 1 of them use five indicators, and other only use BSS without mentioning the indicator. Based on this, researchers want to test the factor structure of the construct in BSS. Participants in this study were 158. The results obtained from testing the factor structure are that there are 3 indicators with the model classified as fit. The first indicator has 10 significant items, the second indicator has 6 significant items, while the third indicator has 3 significant items. WHO menyebutkan bunuh diri menjadi suatu fenomena yang global. Terdapat setidaknya lebih dari 800 ribu orang yang melakukan bunuh diri tiap tahunnya atau setidaknya 1 kematian setiap 40 detik. Faktanya 79% bunuh diri terjadi pada negara-negara dengan pendapatan rendah dan menengah dari usia 15-29 tahun. Kasus bunuh diri juga bertambah di Indonesia setidaknya pada Januari sampai September 2019 sebanyak 302 kasus. Menurut Beck et al. individu yang ingin bunuh diri didahului oleh ide untuk bunuh diri sehingga tepat untuk menilai bunuh diri dalam memprediksi risiko bunuh diri di kemudian hari.  Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS) merupakan salah satu alat ukur untuk menilai ide bunuh diri seseorang yang disusun oleh Beck et al. Beberapa peneliti di Indonesia menggunakan atau mengacu pada indikator dalam BSS. Terdapat 4 penelitian yang menggunakan BSS, 2 diantaranya menggunakan tiga indikator, 1 peneliti menggunakan lima indikator dan yang lainnya hanya menggunakan alat ukur BSS tanpa menyebutkan indikator yang digunakan. Berdasarkan hal ini, peneliti ingin menguji struktur faktor pada konstruk BSS. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 158 partisipan. Hasil yang didapatkan dari pengujian struktur faktor adalah terdapat 3 indikator dengan model yang tergolong fit. Indikator pertama memiliki 10 butir yang signifikan, indikator ke 2 memiliki 6 butir yang signifikan, sedangkan indikator ke 3 memiliki 3 butir yang signifikan.

The global dementia epidemic now and in the future is mainly caused by the steady increase in the population of older persons, where around 2 billion people will be 60 years of age and older by 2050.<sup>(1,2)</sup> As a consequence, in that year  there will be 135 million people with dementia, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where 60% of the more than 47 million cases (2015 estimate) are living now.<sup>(2)</sup>

Apart from the risks of obstetric complications like haemorrhage and eclampsia, a large number of medical conditions affect pregnancy and result in adverse outcomes for both the mother and offspring. Non-communicable diseases in pregnancy are becoming increasingly important in contributing to death and poor health. Changes in the patterns and distribution of these conditions mean that we need new perspectives and ways of dealing with these challenges for the future. This article reviews the burden of ill-health due to non-communicable diseases during pregnancy in low and middle income countries and presents some paradigms relevant to public health and health system needs of the future.

Objective: Using a participatory action research (PAR) model, this paper reports on findings from a mixed-methods study which aimed to discover whether specifically developed health education resources ( A Germ’s Journey) aid children’s understanding of health-hygiene principles, and how these findings can inform the future development of culturally relevant resources to teach children in low- and middle-income countries about the association between bacteria, handwashing and disease. Design: Educational health-hygiene workshops were conducted at 13 case study sites ( n = 651) in collaboration with local organisations in Ahmedabad, India. During Phase 1 of the study, children’s and teacher–trainer workshops were conducted using UK resources. Following suggestions from local teachers, a Gujarati book was co-created and in Phase 2, workshops (using the Gujarati book) were delivered. Methods: Data were collected from children using quasi-experimental methods, using pre-workshop questions, follow-up questions, observations and baseline and post-workshop assessments. Data were collected from teachers using questionnaires. Results: Following teacher–trainer workshops during Phase 1 of the study, 100% of teachers stated that they would use the resources with their pupils in the future. Two months after participating in the workshops, 60%–73% of children knew how germs can cause illness, and 76%–80% knew how to remove germs from hands. When assessed during Phase 2 of the study, 54% of children scored higher after the intervention, showing an increased understanding of microbiology after using the resources. Conclusion: The results indicate that children had an improved understanding of the causes of bacterial disease and the health implications of not using adequate health-hygiene practices. Recommendations for the future development of resources include the use of a PAR model of research, co-creation with end users, and working alongside local organisations and participants in order to access ‘hard-to-reach’ areas.
