Background:The quality of life of people living with HIV/ AIDS (PLH) is of public health concern and calls for attention. The quality of life of PLH may be affected by stigma and discrimination. Peer group of PLHs may have an important role in improving the quality of life of PLHs. This study aimed to investigate the association between participation in HIV/ AIDS peer group, stigma, discrimination, and quality of life of PLHs. Subjects and Method: This was an analytic and observational study with cross sectional design. This study was conducted in Tulungagung, East Java, from November, 2016 to January, 2017. A total of 65 PLHs participating in HIV/ AIDS peer group and 35 PLHs not participating in HIV/ AIDS peer group were selected by fixed exposure sampling. The dependent variable was quality of life of PLHs. The independent variables were participation in HIV/ AIDS peer group, stigma, and discrimination. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire and analyzed using path analysis model. Results: Participation in HIV/ AIDS peer group (b=0.27; p<0.001), social support (b=0.43; p<0.001), and family support (b=0.18; p=0.021), had positive associations with a decrease in stigma and discrimination towards PLHs. Higher income (b=0.33; p=0.026), higher education level (b=0.21; p<0.001), less stigma and discrimination (b=0.33; p<0.001), had positive associations with quality of life of PLHs. Core self evaluation showed positive association with quality of life of PLHs (b=0.31; p<0.001). Conclusion: Participation in HIV/ AIDS peer group, social support, and family support, are positively associated with a decrease in stigma and discrimination towards PLHs. Higher income, higher education, less stigma and discrimination, are positively associated with quality of life of PLHs. Core self evaluation is positively associated with quality of life of PLHs.
Dengue fever virus is an infectious disease that can infect others if bitten by Aedes aegypti mosquito. The virus has the potential to attack cells in the hepar organs so that the hepar is inflamed, swollen, and liver function is disrupted, and there is severe bleeding. The increase in transaminase enzymes as well as hepatomegaly is a frequent sign in dbd sufferers, thus reinforcing the notion that the course of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) disease can affect hepar or liver organs. The presence of such events will increase the level of Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) and Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) in dengue fever patients. The purpose of this study is to find out the epidemiological study of Dengue dengue fever with the increase in SGPT and SGOT levels in dengue fever patients at Aura Syifa Kediri Hospital. This research method uses descriptive research design and total sampling technique for 1 month. Samples obtained for 1 month amounted to 15 samples. The results showed that from a sample of 15 respondents as many as 3 samples (20%) for high SGPT levels above normal and normal results as many as 12 samples (80%). The conclusion of this study shows that the value of SGPT levels has increased by 20% and is still above normal, but still have to be alert to small values.
Introduction: The transition from childhood to adolescence or puberty is a time when hormonal development can affect the physical and psychological development of an early adolescence. The change can be a traumatic experience, if there is no early preparation. Knowledge is very necessary and can be a major factor in shaping one's actions or behavior, because at this time the importance of knowledge about adolescent physical changes, because at this time there is a lot of pressure with physical, biological changes and pressure on environmental changes, while elementary school children are still rarely exposed to reproductive health knowledge. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between reproductive health knowledge and behavior in elementary school children. The method used is observational analytics with a sample number of 75 musing total sampling smapling techniques, analysis tests used using chi squere. The results showed that the low knowledge of respondents with poor reproductive health behavior was around 26.7%. High knowledge of respondents with good reproductive health behavior is around 21.3%. Poor reproductive health behavior with low knowledge is 18.7%, while for good reproductive health behavior with good knowledge is around 33.3%. The results of the chi-square test obtained a value of p = 0.001, it can be interpreted that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, there is a relationship between knowledge and reproductive health behavior in children of SD Blabak 1. Conclusion: There is a relationship between knowledge and reproductive behavior in elementary school children 1 Blabak Kediri.
