    Background: Studies have shown that there is an association between spirituality and better physical and mental health. Depression has one of the highest prevalence amongst the mental health illnesses in the elderly, and it can lead to poor physical health. This study aims to determine the relationship between spirituality and depression. Methods: Data was obtained from the 4th Indonesian Family Life Survey, that was conducted in 2007; the total study sample included 3,103 elderly Indonesians. Logistic regression was performed to determine the relationship between spirituality and depression. Results: This study found that the prevalence of depression was 7.2%, with the largest proportion of those being ≥ 70 years, female, less educated, unemployed, elderly with multimorbidities, unmarried, and less spiritual. Logistic regression analysis showed a strong relationship between spirituality and depression (odds ratio= 1.869; 95% confidence interval; 1.422 to 2.458) after it was controlled for all variables. Conclusions: This study found that spirituality has a significant relationship with rates of depression. The government needs to develop a program that strengthens spirituality to improve mental health in the elderly

    A number of studies have documented a positive and robust relationship between religious activity and health outcomes. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between religious activity participation and self-rated health (SRH) among older population in Indonesia. Data were obtained from 2,915 respondents 60 years and older from the Indonesian Family Life Survey 4 (2007). SRH was assessed by a single-item health measure with four options: very healthy,somewhat healthy,somewhat unhealthy, unhealthy. Logistic regression were used to examine the relationship of the religious activity participation and SRH. Bivariate analysis revealed that religious activity participation was significantly associated with SRH. Multivariate analysis shows that among participants who participated in religious activity, the likehood of a better SRH is increased (OR = 1.422; 95% CI = 1.203 to 1.682) after controlling for sociodemographic variables, socio-economic status (SES), health behaviour and number of Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs). This findings suggest that religious activity participation has an important effect on self-rated health status. Longitudinal studies are needed to help elucidate mechanisms and the order and direction of effects

    Pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan ibu dapat menyelamatkan perempuan dari komplikasi berat dan kematian selama kehamilan, persalinan, dan pasca persalinan. Faktor sosial, manfaat/kebutuhan yang dirasakan, serta aksesibilitas ekonomi dan fisik berkontribusi langsung terhadap pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan ibu. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui faktor sosial, kebutuhan, serta aksesibilitas ekonomi dan fisik yang memengaruhi pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan ibu di Jawa Barat. Data yang digunakan untuk penelitian adalah data sekunder hasil Riset Kesehatan Dasar 2010 pada perempuan usia 15 – 59 tahun yang pernah menikah. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis bivariat dan multivariat. Kedua hasil analisis menegaskan bahwa faktor sosial, kebutuhan yang dirasakan, serta aksesibilitas ekonomi dan fisik memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan pemanfaatan pelayanan antenatal dan persalinan. Model akhir analisis multivariat regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa tempat tinggal merupakan variabel yang paling memengaruhi pemanfaatan kedua bentuk pelayanan kesehatan ibu. Determinan penting yang lain adalah riwayat komplikasi, pendapatan keluarga, umur, dan pendidikan ibu. Dalam analisis multivariat, status perempuan bekerja dan pekerjaan suami tidak memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap kemungkinan perempuan mendapatkan perawatan antenatal dan pemberian perawatan modern meskipun variabel suami adalah positif dan sangat terkait dengan variabel dependen.Utilization of maternal health care services could save severe complications and death among women during pregnancy, delivery, and after delivery. Numerous factors such as social, perceived needs, and economic and physical accessibility are contributed directly with the use of maternal health care. The purpose of this study is to investigate the social, perceived needs, and economic and physical accecibility factors that affect women's use of maternal health care in West Java. The data used come from the 2010 Basic Health Research of ever married women 15 – 59 years old. This study used two levels of analysis, bivariate and multivariate analysis. Both analyses confirmed that social, perceived needs, and economic and physical accessibility factors had a significant relationship with the utilization of antenatal and modern delivery care. The final model logistics regression multivariate analysis indicate that the residence's place remain the most independent variable affecting both of antenatal and delivery care USAge. Other important determinants are complications history, family income, mother's age, and education. In the multivariate analysis, the complications history have a significant impact on the probability of women obtaining delivery care although these variable not associated with the dependent variables in the bivariate analysis

    Multimorbidity is the presence of two or more chronic diseases in one person. Multimorbidity prevalence increases with age, especially in the elderly. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of multimorbidity in elderly population in Indonesia and its determinant. Data were taken from the fourth survey of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) which held in 2007. IFLS is a continuing longitudinal socio-economic and health survey. The sample used in the analysis were 2,960 elderly (³ 60 years). Logistic regression was performed to determine the prevalence and determinants of multimorbidity in the elderly. The prevalence of multimorbidity were 15.8 % and was higher among low educational level, unemployed, current smokers, mild physical activity, overweight/obese and lower consumption of vegetables and fruit.

    Effect of body weight changes on hypertension in Indonesian adults (A 14-year follow up)

    Get PDF
    Background: Obesity is one of the major risk factors of hypertension. There is no large cohort study designed to investigate the quantitative asso­ciation between body weight changes and the risk of hypertension in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of longitudinal BMI changes on hypertension in Indonesian adults. Methods: Body Mass Index (BMI) was computed by dividing weight (kg) by height squared (m2). Based on the BMI at baseline, the participants formed four weight-change groups: normal weight-maintainers, weight-gainers, weight-losers and overweight or obese-maintainers. The effect of age on the relationship between body weight changes and hypertension was analyzed by logistic regression models using stratified analysis. Results: Four body weight changes were identified: normal weight-maintainers (41.95%), weight-gainers (18.83%), weight-losers (5.24%), and overweight or obese-maintainers (33.98%). The stratified logistic regression analysis showed that changes in the relationships between the BMI changes and hypertension with age generally tended to be positive in the younger age-based subgroups but negative in the older subgroups. Relative to the normal weight-maintainers, the weight-gainers had the highest likelihood of hypertension (OR=1.68 95%CI [1.23-1.93]). Conclusions: The findings of the study underline the importance of maintaining normal weight for preventing hypertension especially for the middle-aged
