This study was conducted using The Smoking and Drinking Behaviour Survey 2017 data set from the National Statistical Office of Thailand. Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) were used to identify the spatial autocorrelation between surrounding areas, with binge drinking behaviour among the working-age population in Thailand. Findings showed that among the 61,708 participants, 11.47% engaged in binge drinking behaviour. There was aspatial global autocorrelation between the surrounding areas and binge drinking behaviour among the working-age population, with a Moran’s I value of 0.579. The LISA analysis indicated nine hotspots or high–high clusters. In Thailand, there is a cultural context that encourages risky behaviour such as drinking alcohol beyond the standards set by law. Therefore, to manage this problem efficiently and effectively, the public and private sectors and related agencies should raise awareness about the health effects of binge drinking and promote health literacy to local residents while engaging all sectors in managing alcohol behaviour in all areas. This type of approach is sustainable and can have long-term effects on society.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80527945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of its difficult diagnosis, high rates of treatment failure, and death, MDR-TB is a new challenge in TB control programs. The study aims to identify and analyze the risk factors of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The study used a case control study design and was conducted at the Labuang Baji Hospital in Makassar City, Indonesia. The sample was 140 people consisting of 70 in the case group and 70 in the control group. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using STATA program with Multiple Logistic Regression. Significant risk factors of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) were duration of treatment (OR= 5.655 [Cl 95%: 2.507-12.999]; p<0.001), previous treatment history (OR= 4.833 [Cl 95%: 2.092-11.525]; p<0.001), PMO factor (OR= 3.106 [Cl 95%: 1.227-8.338]; p=0.008), compliance with drugs (OR= 10.961 [Cl 95%: 4.640-26.40]; p<0.001), drug side effects (OR=2.521 [Cl 95%: 1.070-6.126]; p=0.020) and protective factor is the complexity of drug regimen (OR= 0.329 [Cl 95%: 0.136-0.768]; p=0.005). It can be concluded that compliance with drugs is a dominant risk factor for MDR-TB. Improved TB control programs by monitoring the treatment of patients who experienced treatment failure (dropout) probably will increase treatment adherence and cut off MDR-TB transmission.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82182156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The information was obtained from the daily situation report by the Health Department, Government of Balochistan, Pakistan. We investigated the reports of 4177 patients confirmed by RT-PCR tests. Demographic, epidemiological and risk factors data along with comorbidities and clinical signs were recorded. Out of 4500 suspected cases, 4177 cases were directed for the confirmation of COVID-19. A sum of 2177 patients was confirmed to have COVID-19 and 2000 individuals tested negative for the illness. Out of 4177 patients, 2000 patients recovered but 177 patients died because of COVID-19. In current statistics, most males were affected by COVID-19 as 3243 (77.69%) were males and 934 (22.36%) were females. A total of 90.81% of individuals had fever, 88.97% had a cough, 81% had body throbs, and 89.66% had a sore throat. Shortness of breath was observed in 97.06% and 44.09 % had comorbidity. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the outcome of patients was associated with gender and symptoms. The district Quetta had the maximum number of COVID-19 cases and deaths. COVID-19 cases and case casualty proportion are low in Balochistan. Whether this is because of failure to do more tests is still to be discovered. Males and individuals of older age are more impacted, and fatalities were higher in cases with co-morbid conditions. Balochistan has a feeble medical care framework and many asymptomatic cases, and needs more rigid screening activities.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78475913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about programs that reinforce older adults' capacities in health management and promotion in urban communities. This research and development design aimed to develop and determine the effects of a capacity-building program on health management and promotion for older adults in urban communities. A program was held in two sections totaling 90 hours, including coursework and practical sections. This program covered health education, chronic condition management, and health promotion for older adults. The program was evaluated for appropriateness and feasibility by five experts. Forty-four older adults met the criteria and were selected by simple random sampling from nine communities. Data were collected using questionnaires at baseline, post-intervention, and a 1-month follow-up after the end of the intervention. The instruments used for data collection included a demographic questionnaire, a self-assessment on the capacity of older adults, and a self-assessment competency questionnaire on health management and promotion. Descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test were used for the data analysis. After the intervention, the findings showed that the mean score of the capacity of older adults was significantly higher than before receiving the intervention (38.61 ± 4.03, p <.001). When comparing each dimension, the results found the mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and capacity for health management and promotion of older adults to be 11.77 ± 1.79, p <.001, 4.09 ± .39, p <.001, 3.72 ± .057, p <.001, respectively. The one-month follow-up revealed that most older adults had a moderate (53.3%) and high (46.5%) level of health management and promotion competency. This study indicates that the capacity-building program for older adults is effective and needs to be implemented in urban communities.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"407 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84870996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Government initiatives to prevent anemia by dispensing iron supplements without teaching have left adolescent girls with little knowledge of anemia, necessitating substantial informative efforts through social media. Instagram is less popular than Whatsapp as a tool for educating adolescent girls about anemia. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of WhatsApp and Instagram as instructional media on knowledge, attitudes, and eating patterns among adolescent girls in order to prevent anemia. This study employed a control group and a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. In this study, participants (n = 60) were split into two groups: the intervention group (n = 30) used Instagram at Junior High School 30 Makassar, while the control group (n = 30) used WhatsApp at Junor High School 14 Makassar. A general questionnaire and a food frequency questionnaire were used to collect the data, which was then analyzed using the repeated ANOVA test to compare each group's results before and after the intervention and the unpaired t-test to compare the Instagram group to the WhatsApp group. The findings indicated that the Instagram group's knowledge (61.50+82.67 vs 82.67+11.651), attitude (81.93+8.682 vs 89.23+6.683), and eating behaviors (467.10+197.269 vs 486.45+212.911) had different values before and after the intervention. In the WhatsApp group, these differences were 54.17+10.093 vs. 60.83+13.714 for knowledge, 73.20+10.179 vs. 83.40+13.255 for attitude, and 553.10+204.985 vs. 518.28+161.929 for eating habits. With a p-value of 0.05, there were differences between the WhatsApp and Instagram groups in terms of knowledge (0.000), attitude (0.000), and eating habits (0.002).

Burnout syndrome has a serious impact on health workers' performance and the quality of services provided to patients. This study aims to determine the factors associated with burnout syndrome among nurse anesthetists in Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Indonesia involving 405 respondents selected using cluster sampling. A questionnaire was employed for data collection. Univariate analysis (frequency and proportion) was used to measure burnout, and bivariate analysis (chi-square) and multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression) were used to determine the factors associated with burnout syndrome. This study found that the majority of respondents had experienced low levels of burnout, particularly burnout for emotional exhaustion (EE) at 76.8% and depersonalization (DP) at 64.2%. However, a high level of personal accomplishment (PA) was reported by only 53.1% of subjects. Furthermore, workload factors (AOR: 3.75) and social support (AOR: 0.52) were significantly associated with EE. The factors of workload (AOR: 2.27), social support (AOR: 0.59) and reward (AOR: 1.66) were significantly related to DP. Social support factors (AOR: 2.84) and interpersonal relationships (AOR: 2.28) were significantly associated with PA. This study concludes that the majority of nurse anesthetists reported burnout.

Some characteristics and factors can play a pivotal role in the survival time and mortality of COVID-19 patients. The Delta variant was one of the most important variants of COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors of COVID-19 survival before and after the spread of the Delta variant. In this historical cohort study, 6,117 hospitalized patients with positive COVID-19 PCR tests between January and September 2021 participated. Some characteristics such as age, sex, death by COVID-19, and presence/absence of some comorbidities were registered for the patients. Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model were done to check the effect of the potential risk factors on the survival of COVID-19 patients by considering the onset of symptoms to death as the time variable. The mean age of patients was 47.29 (SD=18.70). 53% of patients were female, 4.6% were admitted to the ICU, and 3.6% died from COVID-19. Age (HR=9.81, p<.001), cardiovascular disease (HR=2.86, p<.001), chronic kidney disease (HR=6.21, p<.001), diabetes (HR=2.16, p=0.002), hypertension (HR=2.67, p<.001), ICU admission (HR=12.92, p<.001), pO2<93% (HR=6.75, p<.001), and intubation (HR=21.54, P<.001) were risk factors that were influential on the survival of COVD-19 patients before the spread of the Delta variant. Although the effect of some variables changed after the spread of the Delta variant, some of them, like chronic kidney disease and hypertension were no longer significant. Although the effect of some comorbidities was significant only in the crude models, they were not influential in the adjusted model. Conversely, in the presence of other risk factors, especially age, most of the comorbidities were not significant in the adjusted model. Older age, ICU admission, intubation, and pO2<93% are the most important variables which played a pivotal role in the survival of individuals infected by COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"120 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87773120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Young girls who become pregnant are at greater risk for problems arising from early child deliveries. Contraception in older women likewise results in increased risk. It was found from the particulars of contraception use that the male partner has a great deal of influence, and that the same is true of the perspectives and experiences of the people surrounding his partner, the expectations of her family and her desire for more children. In Thailand, there are ethnic groups of numerous tribes, among whom are the Karen, who make up the largest of any such group. The Karens have a low rate of contraception use and low incomes with reduced resources. Thus, family planning is an important key in reducing their population growth and the impact on their economy, environment and development. The purpose of this study was to explore the determining influence of contraception among minority women in Thailand in the form of descriptive qualitative research. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method. The research showed that the use of contraceptive services by Karen women was restricted by the culture, beliefs and social conditions characteristic of their ethnic origin. The husband and extended family influenced their contraceptive decisions. The prevailing belief was that contraception is the duty of women. Some women used herbs for contraception. They had difficulty communicating when receiving contraceptive services. Karen people have little income; so they cannot afford expenses related to contraceptive services requiring them to pay for travel costs. Furthermore, the road conditions make the trip awfully difficult, and their houses are situated far from the hospitals. In conclusion, determining the influence of birth control among minority women in Thailand must be based on their beliefs, society and ability to access health services.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85130275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The questionnaire consisted of three sections: participants’ demographics, excessive smartphone use, and perceptions of health consequences. Data were analyzed using bivariate and multiple linear regression analysis. A total of 590 responses completed the questionnaire. The results showed that 79.2% of the participants were female and the mean age was 18.8 ± 0.6 years. The original sample comprised students belonging to Humanities and Social Sciences; HSS (59.3%), Science and Technology; ST (25.3%), and Health Sciences; HS (15.4%) fields. The level of excessive smartphone use of these students was moderate (49.3%), high (49.0%), and low (1.7%). Over half of them demonstrated the perceived health consequences at a moderate level (76.1%) and a high level (22.0%); only a minority indicated a low level (1.9%). Linear regression analysis showed that excessive smartphone use was positively and significantly associated with the perceptions of health consequences among rural university students (p-value < 0.001). Other variables such as body mass index, father’s occupation, and fields of study were related to the perceived health consequences among rural university students (p-value < 0.05).
