Saltwater fish consumption pattern and incidence of hypertension in adults: A study on the population of Gresik coast, Indonesia
Get PDFBackground: Hypertension is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the Indonesian population, characterized by an increasing number of sufferers each year. Curtailing saltwater fish consumption pattern is an optional effort to prevent hypertension, as most users tend to attribute little or no attention to this possibility. Design and Methods: The purpose of this study, therefore, was to analyze the correlation between saltwater fish consumption pattern and the incidence of hypertension in adults, using analytic research design with cross sectional approach. Results: The analysis showed the dominance of female respondents (63%), aged 36-45 years (60%), graduated from senior high school (33.8%), working as housewives (32.5%), monthly income above the average (63.6%), absence of hypertension history (80.5%), eat sea fish often as a side dish (59.7%), and pre hypertension (59.1%). Furthermore, data analysis showed a Pvalue of 0.000, indicating the presence of a significant relationship between the consumption pattern of sea fish and the incidence of hypertension. Conclusions: The results of this study show the high consumption of saltwater fish by most people living in Kebungson, Gresik Village. This correlates with the incidence of hypertension in indigenous adults, as the majority was classified with prehypertension levels
Evaluasi Pelaksanaan Program Pelayanan Kesehatan Peduli Remaja (PKPR) Di Puskesmas Rangkah
Get PDFThe most common problems experienced by adolescents are reproductive health problems including unwanted pregnancy (KTD), abortion, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), sexual violence, and the problem of limited access to health information and services about health reproduction. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia has developed a youth health program in Indonesia through the Youth Care Health Service (PKPR) since 2003 in health care. The Youth Care Health Care Program (PKPR) in the city of Surabaya began in 2010 at the Rangkah health center, then in the following year it developed. The problem raised in this study is the low percentage of coverage of the implementation of the PKPR program in Rangkah. The approach that will be used in examining the program implementation is seen from the input, process, and output components by looking at the 2014 PKPR National Standards Guidelines.Objective: Â This study aims to analyze the implementation of PKPR (Youth Care Health Services) program at Rangkah health center using a system based approach national standard of PKPR.Methods: Â This research uses descriptive research with a qualitative approach.

Hubungan Antara Faktor Personal Dengan Perilaku Pemeriksaan Payudara Sendiri (Sadari) Pada Mahasiswi S1 Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Airlangga
Get PDFSelf-Breast Examination (BSE) is an activity to find out early information on breast cancer. Efforts to do BSE can reduce morbidity and mortality by up to 20%. The suggestion to do BSE works at a long time, which is 20 years and above. In general, someone will do BSE activities if they have adequate knowledge. Public health students at the age of 20 years and have sufficient knowledge to take preventative and promotion measures for the health of breast cancer problems. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between personal factors (knowledge, attitude, cancer history and history of cancer) with BSE behavior. This research is a descriptive correlational study, using a cross sectional research design. The research sample consisted of 186 people, who were taken randomly using simple random sampling. Data analysis in this study is Chi-Square Test. The results showed that there was a relationship between attitudes (p = 0,023) with BSE behavior. Whereas between knowledge (p = 0,863), family breast cancer history (p = 0,591), and self-breast cancer history (p = 0,164) there was no correlation with BSE behavior
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Multi-Dimensional Investigation of Factors Affecting Peer Educator Self-Assurance in Teaching Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health
Get PDFPurpose: to examine the factors affecting the self-confidence of peer educators. Design/Methodology/Approach: a correlational descriptive study utilizing the SEM method, conducted with 216 health students. Findings: The self-confidence of peer educators is significantly influenced by the following factors: impact from situations, impact from other people, self-awareness, perceived advantages of action, perceived obstacles to action, perceived self-efficacy, emotion connected to the activity, and dedication to a planned course of action. Among these factors, Commitment to Plan Action is the most influential in shaping peer educators\u27 self-confidence. Research limitation/implications: Higher commitment to planning actions, when paired with self-awareness, leads to a significant boost in peer educators\u27 assurance in teaching teenagers about sexual and reproductive health. Practical Implication: This study focuses on enhancing self-awareness while strengthening self-efficacy and commitment to planning actions. Social Implications: The results provide an understanding of the elements that might increase peer educators\u27 self-assurance while instructing adolescents on sexual and reproductive healthcare. Originality/Value: To improve peer educators\u27 self-confidence, the study suggests a framework for raising self-awareness and creating a dedicated action plan
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Strategi Intervensi untuk Mengeliminasi Kasus Tuberkulosis
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze tuberculosis intervention strategies in Southeast Asia. The method used is a systematic review. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) as a guide and The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) were used to conduct quality assessment. Data were born in the Scopus, Science Direct, and Pubmed databases on articles published in the last five years. In the final review, ten papers were included. The research results show that the intervention strategy is divided into three categories: community-based support through health cadres, nutritional status support, and investigation of household contacts and early detection. In conclusion, efforts to eliminate TB cases require a full-scale strategy with evidence-based interventions in identifying risk factors, contact investigation, and successful treatment.
