Background and Objective: Obesity is a major nutritional problem among adolescences and is becoming an epidemic. Globally, it is estimated that obesity is the fifth main cause of death and many factors underlie this problem. The rise in obesity prevalence in children and adolescents is due to environmental factors, such as diet and physical activity. This study aimed to examine a family-based empowerment model to prevent obesity in adolescents in Tana Toraja. Materials and Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study that was conducted using pre- and post-test measurements with a control group design. A total of 64 study participants were divided into two groups: 32 adolescents in the intervention group and 32 others in the control group. Data were obtained through a structured questionnaire regarding nutritional knowledge, attitude and behaviour. Nutritional status was determined after measuring weight and height by using digital scales. In addition, eating behaviours were measured using a food frequency questionnaire and 2 24 h recall forms. Results: The results showed that there were differences in nutritional knowledge (p< 0.001), nutritional attitudes (p<0.001) and nutritional behaviour (p<0.001) in both the intervention and control groups after the implementation of the family-based empowerment programme. The results of this study also showed that a family-based empowerment model for obesity prevention can be applied in the family and school settings in Indonesia. Conclusion: Nutritional education through the empowerment of families regarding the prevention of obesity has positive impacts on nutrition knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of adolescents, providing the tools to adopt an effective and controlled diet.

Keadaan stres yang terjadi pada keluarga pasien skizofrenia akan dapat berpengaruh terhadap kualitas hidup keluarga dan berpengaruh terhadap kesembuhan pasien. Jika keadaan yang menyebabkan stres pada keluarga tidak dapat ditanggulangi dengan baik, maka pasien yang menderita skizofrenia tersebut akan mengalami lebih banyak penderitaan dan akhirnya dirawat berulang-ulang di rumah sakit tanpa menunjukan tanda-tanda membaik. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh intervensi mindfulness spiritual Islam dalam mengatasi keadaan stres yang terjadi pada keluarga pasien skizofrenia. Stres yang terjadi pada keluarga pasien skizofrenia yang terjadi karena keluarga merasa terbebani dan kurangnya rasa penerimaan juga kesadaran terhadap keadaan pasien. Penelitian ini menggunakan quasy-experiment dengan rancangan pre test - post test control group design. Sampel atau responden dalam penelitian ini adalah anggota keluarga dari pasien dengan skizofrenia yang memenuhi keriteria  inklusi berjumlah 50 responden yang terdiri dari 25 kelompok kontrol dan 25 kelompok intervensi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dihitung menggunakan uji statistic menggunakan mann-whitney test terdapat penurunan stres sesudah diberikan intervensi pada kelompok intervensi dan kontrol (p = 0,000 < 0,05).Nilai mean rank intervensi sebesar 13,00 lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan nilai mean rank kontrol 38,00 berarti bahwa terdapat penurunan stres pada kelompok intervensi setelah diberikan intervensi. Kata kunci: mindfulness spiritual Islam, skizofrenia, stres keluarga REDUCING STRESS LEVEL IN FAMILY MEMBERS OF PATIENTS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA THROUGH ISLAMIC SPIRITUAL MINDFULNESS ABSTRACTStressful conditions in family members of patients with schizophrenia will affect the quality of family life as well as the patient’s recovery. If such conditions are not properly managed, the patients may experience more suffering and readmission without any signs of improvement. Stress in the family members of patients with schizophrenia occurs due to the family burden and the lack of acceptance as well as the awareness of the patient’s condition. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Islamic spiritual mindfulness on decreasing stress in family members of patients with schizophrenia. This study used a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group. The samples were 50 families of patients with schizophrenia who met the inclusion criteria, and were assigned to the intervention group (n=25) and the control group (n=25). Based on the results of the Mann-Whitney test, it was found that there was a decrease in stress after the implementation of Islamic spiritual mindfulness in the intervention and control groups (p=0.000 <0.05). The mean value of stress in the intervention group was 13.00 while in the control group was 38.00 indicating that there was a decrease in stress in the intervention group after the intervention.

Abstract Background Reducing obesity prevalence among marginalised subgroups with disproportionately high obesity rates is challenging. Given the promise of incentives and group-based programmes we trialled a culturally tailored, team-based weight-loss competition with New Zealand Māori (Indigenous) and Pacific Island people. Methods A quasi-experimental 12-months trial was designed. The intervention consisted of three six-months competitions, each with seven teams of seven members. Eligible participants were aged 16 years and older, with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2 and being at risk of or already diagnosed with type-2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Height, weight and waist circumference were measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Results Recruitment of a control group (n = 29) versus the intervention (n = 132) was poor and retention rates were low (52 and 27% of intervention participants were followed-up at six and 12 months, respectively). Thus, analysis of the primary outcome of individual percentage weight loss was restricted to the 6-months follow-up data. Although not significant, the intervention group appeared to lose more weight than the control group, in both the intention to treat and complete-case analyses. Conclusions The intervention promoted some behaviour change in eating behaviours, and a resulting trend toward a reduction in waist circumference.

ABSTRAK  Latar belakang: Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) disebabkan oleh virus Dengue dapat menyebabkan kematian. Pencegahan DBD yang dianggap paling tepat adalah Pemberantasan Sarang Nyamuk (PSN). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pelatihan pengendalian vektor Demam Berdarah pada siswa sekolah dasar terhadap Maya Index di Majalengka. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi experiment (pretest-posttest control group design). Sebanyak 4 sekolah terpilih sebagai kelompok intervensi dan 4 sekolah lainnya sebagai kontrol. Subyek penelitian adalah siswa kelas IV-VI yang terdiri dari 171 siswa pada kelompok intervensi dan 163 pada kelompok kontrol. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah formulir pemantauan jentik berkala. Hasil: Jumlah rumah dengan kategori Maya Index tinggi berkurang dari 27,5% menjadi 9,4%. Terjadi penurunan angka BRI kategori tinggi pada kelompok intervensi dari 20,5% menjadi 1,8%. Pada kelompok kontrol tidak terjadi penurunan angka BRI kategori tinggi (22,1%), sebaliknya terjadi penurunan kategori rendah dari 34,4% menjadi 3,7%. Tidak terjadi penurunan angka HRI pada kelompok intervensi maupun kontrol. Kesimpulan: Pelatihan pengendalian vektor Demam Berdarah dapat menurunkan nilai BRI dan Maya Index, tetapi tidak berpengaruh terhadap nilai HRI. Tidak adanya perubahan nilai HRI menunjukkan bahwa kebersihan dan sanitasi lingkungan merupakan faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap probabilitas kejadian demam berdarah. Kata Kunci : Demam Berdarah, Maya Index, pelatihan, pengendalian vektor   ABSTRACT Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) caused by Dengue virus could cause death. The most appropriate prevention of Dengue is eradication of mosquito nests (PSN). This study aims to determine the effect of Dengue vector control training on elementary students towards Maya Index in Majalengka. Method: This study used quasi-experimental design (pretest-posttest control group design). A total of 4 schools were selected as intervention groups and 4 other schools as controls. The subjects were students in grades IV-VI consisting of 171 students in the intervention group and 163 in the control group. The instrument used was periodic larva monitoring form. Results: The number of houses with a high Maya Index category in the intervention group decreased from 27.5% to 9.4%. There was a decrease in the high BRI category in the intervention group from 20.5% to 1.8%. In the control group, there was no decrease in the high BRI category (22.1%), on the contrary, there was a decrease in the low category from 34.4% to 3.7%. There was no decrease in HRI rates both of intervention or control groups. Conclusion: Dengue Fever vector control training could decrease the value of BRI and Maya Index, but does not affect the value of HRI. The absence of changes in HRI  indicate that environmental hygiene and sanitation are factors that influence the probability of dengue fever occurrence. Keywords: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, Maya Index, training, vector control
