The prevalence of exposure to secondhand smoke is higher among adolescents. Research on predictors of secondhand smoke exposure in adolescents is still rarely conducted in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the predictors of exposure to secondhand smoke among non-smoking adolescents in Indonesia. This study used data from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) Indonesia 2019 with a cross-sectional design. A total of 7,594 adolescents aged 13 to 15 were selected using purposive sampling. The dependent variables were exposure to secondhand smoke at home and in public. The independent variables included age, gender, smoking parents, smoking friends, and knowledge of the dangers of secondhand smoke. Data were analyzed using STATA with inferential tests, namely chi-square and logistic regression. The prevalence of adolescents exposed to secondhand smoke at home and in public was 49.57% and 71.86%, respectively. At-home exposure was significantly associated with smoking parents [AOR=3.50, 95% CI=2.97 to 4.12], smoking friends [AOR=1.50, 95% CI=1.30 to 1.73], and knowledge of the dangers of secondhand smoke [AOR=2.11, 95% CI=1.52 to 2.93]. Public exposure was associated with ages 13-15 [AOR=1.32, 95% CI=1.10 to 1.58] and older than 15 [AOR=1.77, 95% CI=1.39 to 2.25], male gender [AOR=1.31, 95% CI=1.11 to 1.53], smoking parents [AOR=1.58, 95% CI=1.36 to 1.84], smoking friends [AOR=2.16, 95% CI=1.85 to 2.53], and knowledge of secondhand smoke dangers [AOR=2.84, 95% CI=2.15 to 3.75]. Adolescents’ exposure to secondhand smoke in public spaces is higher in prevalence and has more associated factors compared to exposure at home. Exposure reductions require comprehensive actions from authorities by strictly implementing and expanding non-smoking areas covered by existing regulations. Also, family and school management should be involved in prevention efforts.","PeriodicalId":507714,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Low-resource Settings","volume":"9 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140257890","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}

This research aimed to analyze the relationship between personality types, fulfillment of basic needs, and the incidence of FoMO syndrome in East Java. We employed a correlational approach with a cross-sectional design for the study. The study's population comprised youths aged 12-25 in East Java. We obtained our research sample, consisting of 140 individuals, through proportionately stratified random sampling. The instruments we used included the Jung personality type indicator, a basic needs assessment, and the FoMO questionnaire. We analyzed the data using the chi-square test (p<0.05) and Spearman's rho (p<0.05). Our research findings indicated that the prevalent personality type in East Java was introverted, with 84 youths (60.0%). Additionally, 125 youths (89.3%) reported a high level of adequately met needs, while 71 (50.7%) fell into the moderate FoMO category. The Chi-square test revealed a significant correlation between personality type and the incidence of FoMO syndrome (p=0.000). Similarly, Spearman's rho indicated a significant link between meeting basic needs and the occurrence of FoMO syndrome (p=0.000). Adolescents with both introverted and extroverted personality types, coupled with low basic needs satisfaction, were more prone to experiencing FoMO syndrome. Our study's implications underscored the necessity of increasing motivation to fulfill basic needs, thereby mitigating the likelihood of experiencing FoMO.","PeriodicalId":507714,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Low-resource Settings","volume":"51 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140259041","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}

Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the perceptions of family members in their decision-making process regarding the care of palliative-stage cancer patients at home. This qualitative study employed a descriptive phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with ten Indonesian family members of palliative-stage cancer patients refusing discharge, and were analyzed using the Colaizzi method. Furthermore, the inclusion criteria were that the dominant family member who cares for the patient lives with the patient and is involved in the decision-making process. Two themes emerged from this study: i) a lack of support in decision-making, and ii) pain and chronic sorrow. Home-based palliative care for cancer patients presents significant decision-making challenges and persistent grief for families, necessitating robust support and education from healthcare professionals such as nurses and policymakers. Additionally, a national health insurance system that enables effective palliative care is crucial.","PeriodicalId":507714,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Low-resource Settings","volume":" 773","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140092161","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}

Results indicated that out of the seven measurable indicators, two met the standards: the percentage of allocated funds for drug procurement at 70.5%, and the frequency of errors in orders occurring five times. However, five indicators fell below the standards: the suitability of drug items with the National Formulary at 14.15%, the suitability of drug items with the Hospital Formulary at 68.15% (with an 80% benchmark), the frequency of each item's procurement in a year at a low category of 43.45%, the percentage of conformity between planning and reality at 99.61%, and the achievement of lead time for ordering drugs at 5.08 days. In conclusion, the selection, procurement, and lead time aspects of drug management at the \"X\" Hospital Pharmacy Installation did not fully meet the established standards.
