THE CORRELATION OF MOTHER'S AGE AT MARRIAGE AND MOTHER'S WORK STATUS WITH EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING

The best nutrition for babies is breast milk. Breast milk should be given exclusively without any additions in the first six months. According to previous research, a woman’s age at marriage will affect the practice of exclusive breastfeeding to their babies, as young mothers are often not ready to have and care for babies. The work status of mothers also has a large impact on exclusive breastfeeding practices. The goal of this study was to discover the correlation between age at marriage and the work status of mothers with exclusive breastfeeding practices. This research was an observational study with the subjects being 94 mothers of children aged 0-5 years in Ngringinrejo Village, Kalitidu District, Bojonegoro Regency from 3 July to 9 August, 2019. This study used data from the professional placement activity or Praktik Kerja Lapangan (PKL) conducted by the students of the public health study program of Airlangga University. The outcome of this research showed that there was no meaningful relationship between the age of marriage of mothers and practices of exclusive breastfeeding (p-value = 0.973) and there is also no statistical relationship between the work status of mothers and exclusive breastfeeding practices (p-value = 0.276). However, it was discovered that mothers who gave exclusive breastfeeding were mostly not working, and mothers who did not breastfeed exclusively were mostly in employment. The conclusion of this research is the absence of a correlation between age at marriage and the work status of mothers with exclusive breastfeeding.

“Queer Migrants Welcome” in Public Health Teaching

Background People with heterogeneous sexual orientations and gender identities are rarely the focus of public health research or teaching. LGBTQ people (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) are particularly at risk of being discriminated against in accessing and using health care. In order to give students of public health a perspective that is sensitive to diversity and which will allow them to consider LGBTQ people in their future research, teaching and practice, these topics must be actively reflected on during their studies. Methods A website was built by a team of students of the Bachelor degree program in Health Communication at the School of Public Health, Bielefeld University in Germany. The aim of this course was to learn about the health situation and risks of LGTBQ people. One main emphasis of this project was to develop a medium that focuses on the perspective for newcomers, migrants and refugees in the context of LGTBQ health in a participatory way. Results The students developed an understanding of LGBTQ, migration and health largely independently through individual research and group discussion, decided to create an English-language website (https://queermigrantswelcome.jimdofree.com) and present existing findings in blog posts they wrote on their own. The pictures on the homepage were drawn by the students themselves, as they perceived the freely available LGBTQ pictures as too stereotypical. They contacted counselling centres for LGBTQ persons throughout Germany and asked in which language they offer counselling and have included these counselling possibilities on the homepage. Conclusions Already at the Bachelor’s level, students can design innovative media that can improve the health care of marginalized people and contribute to the dismantling of discriminatory structures. It is important that the students are given sufficient freedom to make their own decisions and identify with the topic, thus facilitating a major learning process. Key messages Desiderates in health communication can be reduced by well accompanied student projects. The topic LGBTQ must be implemented in the curricula of public health study programmes to reduce discrimination in health care.

Why New Drugs, Treatments, and Medical Devices Still Needs to be Tested Clinically Before Making it Available in the Market? A Systematic Review

Objective Testing a new drug, treatment, and medical device clinically is critically important before prescribing it to patient. Not determining the drug’s safety and efficacy through clinical trials might impose life threatening outcomes on its consumers. The research paper describes the critical factors associated for testing any new drugs clinically, as limited research is performed in this field of public health. Study Design A qualitative systematic literature review was performed by mining relevant original peer reviewed research papers as well as some online resources like MedlinePlus due to limited availability of studies on such critical topic. Methods The databases used were Web of Sciences core collection, PubMed, Google scholar. The keywords used to search research papers were “clinical trials”, “testing new drugs”, “history of testing drugs”, “evidence-based medicine”. Conclusion Drugs which are prescribed to critical target population like pregnant women and children should be more often clinically tested if possible as majority of them are available in the market without Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. The abusive potential of any new drug could end up taking lives of innocent individuals. More evidence-based medicine can help translate research results on a heterogeneous population efficiently.
