Good Support

Some families who treat people with mental disorders have fully support their family member, but people with mental disorders do not care about it. ODGJ (People with Mental Disorder) prefer to do what they want to do unless there is an award from the family. The aim of the study is to find out the relationship between family support and the level of independence of ODGJ in Posyandu Jiwa, Wonokromo Village, Surabaya. The design of this study is analytical with a cross sectional approach. The population is all ODGJ families. The sample is 35 respondents with Purposive Sampling techniques. The independent variable is family support and the dependent variable is the level of independence of ODGJ. The research instrument used a questionnaire. Data analysis using Rank Spearman test. The results showed that of the 35 respondents most (62.9%) had good family support and most (65.7%) were independent. The test results of Rank Spearman statistics p = 0.000 <α = 0.05 indicate that there is a family support relationship with the level of independence of ODGJ. The independence of ODGJ can be achieved to the maximum with good support from the family. It is expected that families can maintain good family support for ODGJ to be more independent and maintain ODGJ's independence, so as not to depend on family

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of stunting problems in toddlers in 2015 in Aceh Province has proven to be very high due to various factors ranging from a mother’s educational background to socioeconomic family. AIM: The purpose of this study was to identify models of factors that cause stunting in children aged 2–5 years in Aceh Province. METHODS: To be able to identify the problem above, this quantitative research was reported in a descriptive analytic form with a cross-sectional design that was successfully conducted from April to December 2019. The data collected were a combination of field observation review and documentation. To facilitate data analysis, univariate and bivariate and multivariate have been applied to see the validation and reliability of this research question. RESULTS: The results showed that the incidence of stunting in children included the level of education and knowledge of the mother, head of the family, number of family members, initiation of early breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, age of weaning, supplementary feeding, and provision of Vitamin A (p < 0.05). The dominant factors affecting stunting were 16.7 times exclusive breastfeeding, 10.6 times because they were not given complementary feeding, 3.5 times because they did not get Vitamin A capsules, 1.7 times due to poor weaning age, and 1.5 times because the head of the family does not have a good income. Several variables did not affect the incidence of stunting, such as education of the head of the family (p = 0.482) and mother’s occupation (p = 0.992). CONCLUSION: Stunting is caused by direct and indirect factors. Models in dealing with stunting can be done by maximizing better breastfeeding.

Abstract Background: Undernutrition among under five children in India is a major public health problem. Despite India’s growth in the economy, the child mortality rate due to undernutrition is still high in both urban and rural areas. Studies that focus on urban slums are scarce. Hence the present study was carried out to assess the prevalence and determinants of undernutrition.Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 16 randomly selected clusters in two districts of Maharashtra state, India. Data were collected through the house to house survey by interviewing mothers of under five children. Logistic regression method was used for multivariate analysis to determine the association between the variables like sex of the child, type of family, the income of the family, birth order, exclusive breastfeeding, immunization status, ARI, diarrhea, maternal age, maternal education with outcome variables underweight, stunting and wasting.Results: Total 2929 mothers and their 3,671 under five children were covered. Prevalence of wasting, stunting and underweight were more seen in an urban slum than a rural area.Exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months was the protective factor against wasting in both rural area (Adj OR=0.35,p<0.001)and urban slum(Adj OR=0.47,p<0.05),Acute diarrhea was associated with wasting in rural area(Adj OR=0.11,p=0.001).Boys were more prone to stunting in the urban slum(Adj OR=1.77,p<0.05). Children with birth order 2 or less than 2 were more affected by stunting in the rural area (Adj OR=.11, p<0.05). The joint family acted as a protective factor against stunting in the urban slum(Adj OR=0.56,p<0.05).Whereas exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age was seen as a protective factor against underweight in the rural area (Adj OR=0.50,p<0.05). The low income of the family has resulted in underweight children in an urban slum (Adj OR=2.16, p<0.05). Low maternal education was related to underweight in children (Adj OR=0.44, p,0.05)Conclusion: Undernutrition was related to the sex of the child, the economic status of the family, diarrhea (Past 1 month), and maternal education. Improvement of maternal education will improve the nutritional status of the child.The trial registration-This article is part of baseline data of the project, hence not related to trial registration. After baseline data principal investigator had done trial registration retrospectively.

The article presents results of the study ofproblems of the repeated disability due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue in retirement age citizens of the Russian Federation in the period of from 2005 to 2014. There were analyzed the number of this category of invalids, their specific weight among re-recognized as disabled cases with account of classes of diseases and the age, structure of the repeated disability in groups, the level of repeated disability and ranking places of subjects of the Russian Federation on this index in 2014. The results of the executed analysis indicate that only in the Russian Federation for 10 years (2005-2014) there were re-recognized as disabled due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue 487.1 thousand people from citizens of retirement age with distinct dynamics of the increase as their absolute number (from 22.1 thousand persons in 2005 to 69.3 thousand people in 2014) and the index of disability level (respectively from 7.6 to 20.5 per 10 thousand of the corresponding adult population). This pathology was established to determine a high level of repeated disability in this age group (20.5 per 10 thousand population). Comparative analysis by age revealed that in the Russian Federation in the structure of the repeated disability due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue in the adult population invalids of the retirement age prevail (42.8% in 2014). Along with diseases of the circulatory system (of rank 1) and malignant neoplasms (rank 2), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue form the contingent of cases repeatedly recognized as disabled of retirement age (3th rank place). A ranking ofall subjects of the Russian Federation by the level of repeated disability of citizens of retirement age due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue allowed to select 70 ranking places, that with bearing in mind the present demographic situation, has a practical orientation for planning the organization of medical and social care for the given large category of the population.

The implementation of the Family Planning (KB) program in Indonesia raisesvarious problems in the health sector which are generally experienced by many women.One of the problems faced by women in line with the dissemination of this program inIndonesia is the emergence of vaginal problems in the use of Intra-Uterine Device (IUD)contraception. Leucorrhoea is abnormal vaginal secretion in women, the longer the useof an IUD, the more at risk of developing vaginal discharge. This study aims to study andanalyze the relationship between IUD KB acceptors and vaginal discharge. The researchdesign used was an observational method with a cross sectional study design. Sample sizewas 92 patients. The sample used was patients aged 18-60 years who sufferedleucorrhoea at the Jetis Primary Health Center, Yogyakarta City. Sampling usingpurposive sampling technique. The relationship between intra-uterine devicecontraceptive acceptors and vaginal discharge was analyzed using Chi-Square using theSPSS version 21.0 for Windows program. There was a statistically significant associationof patients using intra-uterine device contraception and experiencing vaginal dischargetotaling 43 people (46.7%) and 12 people who did not experience vaginal discharge(13.1%). While patients who did not use intra-uterine device contraception and hadvaginal discharge were 21 people (22.8%) and those who did not suffer from vaginaldischarge were 16 people (17.4%). The Chi-square hypothesis test results obtainedsignificance 0.029 where p <0.05. There is a relationship between intra-uterine devicecontraceptive acceptors and the incidence of vaginal discharge in the Jetis PrimaryHealth Center in Yogyakarta which is statistically significant.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the agreement between PHYSICAL BEST and FITNESSGRAM health-related criteria for muscle strength and endurance. Methods: This agreement study had a sample of 81 children and adolescents. Participants were submitted to the PHYSICAL BEST (Sit-up and Pull-up) and FITNESSGRAM (Curl-up and Modified Pull-up) test batteries. Additionally, FITNESSGRAM also proposed criteria for Pull-up test. Results of tests were classified in accordance with their respective criteria. Each group had an interval of seven days between the first and second battery of tests. Statistical analysis used the Kappa index (p<0.05). Results: Sit-up and Curl-up tests among the boys agreed in 72.2% (Kappa=0.368; p=0.004) of cases, and for the girls, in 64.4% (Kappa=0.130; p=0.076). Pull-up (PHYSICAL BEST versus FITNESSGRAM) agreed in 83.3% (Kappa=0.599; p<0.001) for boys. The agreement between Pull-up and Modified Pull-up (PHYSICAL BEST versus FITNESSGRAM) for boys was 47.2% (Kappa=0.071; p=0.533), and for girls, 44.5% (Kappa=0.102; p=0.120). The agreement between the Pull-up and Modified Pull-up tests (FITNESSGRAM) for boys was 58.4% (Kappa=0.215; p=0.143), and for girls, 44.5% (Kappa=0.102; p=0.120). Conclusions: For individual analysis over time, as well as for the comparison of passing rates between different populations, caution is advised when using different criterion-referenced standards for strength and endurance, particularly if using different tests.
