Purpose: This study aimed to identify risk factors of cervicitis among female sex workers in the district of Cilacap. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. Total of respondents were 147 female sex workers who participated in the mobile sexual transmitted infection services. Demographic characteristic and risk factor data were collected by interviews using a structured questionnaire. Diagnosis of cervicitis was obtained by laboratory test with cervix swab. Data were analyzed using Poisson regression test with robust variance estimators.Results: Prevalence of cervicitis among female sex workers in the district of Cilacap were 70.75%. Multivariate analysis showed that the risk factors of cervicitis among female sex worker were: age ≤24 years old, income, childbirth history, number of clients per week, and inconsistent of condoms use.Conclusions: Results showed the need to increase awareness of condom use among female sex workers through health promotion and counseling in mobile sexual transmitted infection services by the teams of sexual transmitted infection clinics.

Dialysis is a therapy that aims to remove waste and excess fluid from the body. This method replaces the main function of the kidney. Two types of dialysis are known, namely Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis. Patients with chronic kidney failure are faced with these two treatment options. Both types of dialysis therapy have a risk of complications during the treatment period that can affect the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in dialysis methods of patients with chronic kidney failure with CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) and hemodialysis in terms of quality of life as a basis for palliative care. The research design uses a cross-sectional comparative analytical research design. The independent variable is the action of hemodialysis and CAPD. The dependent variable is quality of life. The study sample was patients with chronic kidney failure who underwent hemodialysis and CAPD at Saiful Anwar Hospital in Malang with 126 respondents using consecutive sampling technique. Data analysis using Independent T-test ( = 0.05). The research instrument was a WHO-QOL questionnaire. Respondents who received hemodialysis were 104 patients. The average quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis was 84.52 ± 11.37. Respondents who received CAPD were 22 patients. The average quality of life of patients undergoing CAPD is 80.23 ± 7.95. There are differences in quality of life in patients who get HD and CAPD (p value = 0,000). There were no differences in kidney function in patients who received HD and CAPD (creatinine p value = 0.130; urea p value = 0.083).
Latar Belakang: Tingginya kasus penyakit hipertensi di Indonesia terus mengalami peningkatan. Penderita hipertensi yang tidak mendapat pengobatan yang memadai, akan berdampak terjadinya penyakit kerusakan pada ginjal (gagal ginjal), penyakit jantung koroner, penyakit otak (stroke) dan kematian. Peningkatan pengetahuan dan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap hipertensi dapat dilakukan dengan memberikan promosi kesehatan dengan metode audiovisual. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efektifitas edukasi kesehatan berbasis audiovisual terhadap perubahan pengetahuan tentang diet rendah garam penderita hipertensi. Metode: Rancangan penelitian ini adalah Pra-eksperimental dengan desain one group pretest-posttest. Populasi sebanyak 60 orang anggota prolanis yang aktif pada kegiatan prolanis wilayah Puskesmas Adan-Adan Kabupaten Kediri. Dengan teknik Accidental Sampling didapatkan 30 orang responden yang bersedia menjadi sampel. Pengambilan data dilakukan selama satu bulan, dengan memberikan perlakuan audivosual diet rendah garam dilanjutkan pengisian kuesioner terstruktur. Analisis data menggunakan uji Wilcoxon signed rank test. Hasil: Berdasarkan hasil analisa diketahui bahwa terdapat efektifitas audiovisual diet rendah garam sebagai edukasi kesehatan terhadap perubahan pengetahuan tentang diet rendah garam penderita hipertensi (ρ-value=0,00<a=0,05). Simpulan: Pemberian audiovisual efektif dalam peningkatan pengetahuan responden tentang diet rendah garam. Tenaga kesehatan dapat meningkatkan upaya promosi kesehatan menggunakan media audiovisual agar masyarakat memiliki kesadaran untuk selalu memeriksakan kesehatan dan menjaga asupan makanan yang mengandung garam serta meningkatkan pengetahuan dalam melakukan diet rendah garam sebagai upaya mengontrol tekanan darahnya.
