Full text linkBackground: Women are a highly vulnerable population for HIV-infection, influenced by biological, cultural, social and economic factors. Inadequate knowledge about the risk for exposure to HIV will impact the prevention and treatment of HIV.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine HIV-related knowledge among women in Indonesia and the associated demographic determinants that influence their access to accurate HIV-related information.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey in 2012. Level of HIV-related
knowledge was determined by analyzing nine items on the 2012 IDHS instrument.
Results: The percentage of women in Indonesia between the ages of 15 and 49 years of age, more than half (53.6%) had high score of HIV-related knowledge. The results from logistic regression showed that women aged 30-34 years old had 2.2 times higher knowledge level about HIV compared to older women. Married women, living in rural area, with a lower level of education, reported to have limited or no access to HIV related information; thus, had acorrespondingly lower knowledge level of
HIV.
Conclusion: Study findings underscore the lack of knowledge-level among Indonesian women about HIV, especially the prevention, transmission, and prevention mother to child transmission (PMCT)

Family Empowerment Model Based on Belief amd Health-Related Quality of Life among Housewives with HIV/Aids
Full text linkThe trend of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) prevalence in Indonesia has increased significantly. This study was aimed to develop family empowerment model based on belief and analyze the effects of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients infected by HIV/AIDS. Mixed methods design with the first stage using quantitative research with cross sectional approach. A total 135 respondents with HIV/AIDS were determined from purposive sampling. For developing the model, we conducted focus group and expert discussion to make the model and the intervention tool for the second stage. We analyzed the collected data using Structural Equation Model Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) test. The outer loading value measured the sub-variable validity value of its latent variable, where the outer loading is valid if the value is >0.4. Based on the research results, nine indicators were invalid (outer loading value ≤ 0.4), and the indicator must be removed from the model. Evaluation of inner models was used to test the research hypotheses. The research hypothesis can be accepted if the value of T count >T table. The health services, patient factors, family factors and empowerment have a significant influence between some of these factors on HQRL (T >1.96). The development of a family empowerment model based on belief has a good effect in health-related quality of life among women with HIV/AIDS. From the developed model, it be seen that HRQL is related to health services, patient factors, family factors and empowerment

The Lived Experience of Indonesian Nurses in Kuwait: A Phenomenological Study
Full text linkIntroduction: Indonesia is recognized as an active player in the sending of health professionals, including nurses, abroad. Indonesian
nurses are also placed in Middle Eastern countries, such as Kuwait. Nevertheless, there is little research exploring the life experience of
Indonesian nurses living and working in Kuwait.
Methods: The design of this study was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Participants in this study were 21 Indonesian
nurses who have lived and worked in Kuwait for a minimum of one year. The participants were recruited from hospitals in Kuwait. This
study used a semi-structured interview which was conducted in appointed places. Data were then transcribed verbatim and thematically
analyzed.
Results: Five themes were identified, namely: Escalating career prospects; Immersing in the local culture; Added value for Muslims;
Language barriers; and Dealing with homesickness.
Discussion: Participants’ economic and social motives reflected different migration goals. Meanwhile, living in a Muslim country lessens
the stress and may serve as a benefit during migration.
Conclusions: Indonesian nurses who work in Kuwait tend to enjoy a good experience and decent salary. However, they may need upskilling
in terms of the acquisition of the language needed in the receiving country. In addition, cultural adaptation and making adjustments to
manage homesickness were among the strategies for surviving in the workplace whilst working in Kuwait
The Relationship between Stigma, Resilience, and Quality of Life from Family Members Taking Care of Schizophrenic Patients
Full text linkAbstract--- Stigma in society about people with mental disorders, especially for schizophrenic patients, is very high. Stigma is not only given to schizophrenic patients but also their family members. The stigma given to family members may cause them to feel sad, ashamed, shocked, annoyed, uneasy, and blaming one another. This can affect the resilience and quality of life from family members who are taking care of schizophrenic patients. This study applied cross-sectional research in which the population was family members who accompany the schizophrenia patient to psychiatric polyclinics. The total of samples was 171 respondents who met several criteria, namely family members who were taking care of and living in the same house with the schizophrenic patients; cooperative; and be able to read and write. The variables of this study were stigma, resilience, and quality of life. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman’s rho test. It showed that there were a very strong negative relationship between stigma and resilience (p = 0.000 and r = -0,851) and between stigma and quality of life (p = 0,000 and r = -0,715). Efforts to reduce stigma in society regarding schizophrenia must be carried out because stigma affects not only schizophrenic patients but also the family members who are taking care of them. The high resilience and good quality of life have positive effects on the healing process and reduce the relapse rate of schizophrenic patients
Prevention of Depression in Patients with Cancer: A Systematic Review
Full text linkDepression and depressive symptoms are prevalent in patients with cancer. Depression is underdiagnosed and therefore the patients often receive inadequate treatment for their depression. The aim of this study was to identify ways to prevent depression in patients with cancer. This systematic review used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review (PRISMA) approach. Databases were used to identify suitable articles from Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct and Proquest. The articles were limited to being published between 2009 and 2020, written in English and full-text articles. The literature review used the keywords “anxiety, antidepressant, cancer, depression and preventive.” When searching the articles, “AND” was also used. The inclusion criteria in the search strategy consisted of: 1) adult humans ≥18 years of age diagnosed with cancer; 2) undergoing antidepressive treatment of any kind; 3) depression and/or depressive symptoms and 4) the study design was a randomized controlled trial. Studies were excluded if the studies had less than 30 samples as this means that they do not have enough strength to use to detect a significant relationship. Following this screening, 15 articles met the inclusion criteria. The studies were classified into 3 groups based on the type of intervention used. The interventions were pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy and other interventions such as exercise programs. Depression in patients with cancer can be prevented. Preventive treatment should start before or during the oncological treatment. Treating psychiatric
conditions in patients with cancer may improve not only their quality of life and prognosis but also their surviva
