Predisposing Factors Related to Four ANC Visits (K4) on TM III Pregnant Women at Danurejan I Primary Health Center of Yogyakarta
Get PDFPregnancy may cause problems or become a complication at any time. However, complications of pregnancy and childbirth can be prevented by regular antenatal care (ANC) visits. Four ANC visits (K4) are indicators used to assess the quality of health services for pregnant women. Four ANC visits (K4) are also the indicators to see the frequency that refers to the trimester period when conducting a pregnancy check. Nationally, performance indicators for the coverage of four ANC visits (K4) on pregnant women in 2014 did not reach the target. There are various factors that may contribute to an unsuccessful four ANC visit (K4) of pregnant women that come from predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors. The objective of the study is to investigate the correlation between maternal age and four ANC visits (K4) on TM III (trimester III) pregnant women at Danurejan I Primary Health Center of Yogyakarta. It is an analytic observational study design with cross-sectional approach. The sample was taken by accidental sampling technique with the inclusion and exclusion criteria as many as 30 TM III pregnant women. The result of this study shows that from four factors that analyzed, only two factors have a significant relationship with four ANC Visits (K4), which are maternal age (pv=0.000) and parity (pv=0.000). Meanwhile, education level (pv=0.155) and occupation (pv=0.210) have no correlation with four ANC Visits K4). Therefore, it can be concluded from this study that the maternal age and parity are the predisposing factors related to the four ANC Visits (K4). As a result, it is clear that promotion and prevention efforts such as health education about mature age at marriage and improving family planning programs are essential to increase four ANC Visits (K4). Future studies are expected to be conducted on larger sample sizes and different epidemiological approaches.

Sanskrit Loanword as Proper Name in Thai and Javanese Societies
No full textNaming is one of the most important processes in social interaction in which to identify things, persons, and places. Therefore, person naming become a sign of a parent's wish for their baby. Parents will choose a special name for their baby with several of considerations, such as: family, religion, culture, and gender. This paper is aimed to study the usage of Sanskrit loanword as proper names in Thai and Javanese societies. Several Sanskrit loanwords which usually used as terms in educational, religious, ritual, mythical, geographical, economic, political, arts and literature activities are also used as proper names in both Thai and Javanese societies. Some Sanskrit names are considered as male names in both societies because the meanings of these words stereotypically performed male characteristics, such as powerful, strong, as protector. Some Sanskrit names are considered as female names in both societies because the meaning of these words stereotypically performed female characteristics, such as beauty and happiness, etc. However, meanings of several words sometimes are appropriate for both sexes, or vice versa. Thus, these words sometimes attached by male or female markers which distinguish the both two sexes. Keywords: Proper name, Sanskrit loanword, Language, Culture
Global Health Initiatives to Reduce Malaria Morbidity in School-aged Children
Get PDFBackground: To review global initiatives to reduce the burden of disease from malaria on school-aged children. The focus is on approaches with potential to reduce mortality and morbidity, improve the health and ability of children to attend school, avoid malaria impacting their potential academic achievement, and minimize the risk of short- and long-term cognitive impairment.
Methods: Literature searches using defined terms related to malaria and education, and a scoping review of the key literature selected, to provide a narrative summary of the challenges and potential solutions identified.
Results: There is robust evidence that school-aged children are particularly vulnerable to malaria, and need special measures to protect them; calls are widespread for better diagnostic approaches and program innovation because of current levels of malaria-related morbidity and mortality. School-based programs that educate children broadly on causation, prevention and care required can improve access to timely diagnosis and treatment; however, currently national malaria control interventions do not specifically target school-age children. The literature describes intervention strategies that include seasonal chemoprophylaxis, intermittent protective treatment and antimalarial therapy linked to mass drug administration for neglected tropical diseases. Recently, a community participatory intervention model based on WHO-endorsed diagnostic and treatment principles has taught teachers to screen all children sick at school using rapid point-of-care diagnostic testing and treat promptly with Artemesinin combination therapy; morbidity and absenteeism are significantly reduced. There is no consensus on the optimal intervention strategy; approaches will need to vary, but evidence of ‘what works and why' exists to guide constructive implementation measures in each endemic region.
Conclusion: Malaria exemplifies how health inequity negatively impacts a child's health and ability to benefit from education, yet simple and effective school-based approaches exist that positively impact morbidity, provide access to WHO-endorsed diagnosis and treatment, are applicable worldwide and can increase the capacity of children to learn.

Get PDFCORRELATION BETWEEN ANXIETY LEVEL AND SELF DIRECTED LEARNING READINESS (SDLR) WITH STUDENT PEFORMANCE IN PROBLEM BASED LEARNING (PBL)
Get PDFBackground: The pattern of medical education in Indonesia has changed from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning. This change has an impact on methods, learning activities, and learning achievements of medical students. Problem Based Learning (PBL) is one of the main learning methods used in the faculty of medicine. PBL is a learning method that requires students to play an active role and facilitate collaborative learning. Due to the change of learning method, new medical students experience a lot of stress from in doing Problem Based Learning such as anxiety and may affect their PBL results as can be evaluated using Self-Directed Learning Readiness (SDLR). There are very few studies found to date investigating this phenomenon.
Aims: This research aims to see the correlation between anxiety level and SDLR with student's performance participating in first-year PBL in the Musculoskeletal and Locomotory System block in the faculty of medicine Universitas Swadaya Gunung Jati Cirebon.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study with total sampling. The samples were recruited from 167 first-year 2018 intake students of the faculty of medicine Universitas Swadaya Gunung Jati.
