“…Employment in rural populations, lifestyle and old beliefs may explain this outcome. The present findings showed no significant associations between occupational status and age groups with IDA awareness (p > 0.05), which is consistent with earlier research [21,26]. Currently, a significant association between parity number and awareness about IDA was recorded (p < 0.05).…”

Background. Iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy is one of the most common preventable causes of maternal morbidity and poor prenatal outcome. This study was conducted to assess the level of awareness about iron deficiency anaemia and the effect of the awareness in the prevention of anaemia. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in randomly six selected primary healthcare centres in Al Najaf city, Iraq. Data was collected from 1 July to 20 September 2022 through the interview of participants using a self-structured questionnaire. A Chisquare test was used to test the association between awareness levels and different variables, and a binomial logistic regression was performed to ascertain the effects of awareness about iron deficiency anaemia on the likelihood of its prevention among participants. Results. The prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia among (343) pregnant women was 85.4%, and the mean haemoglobin level was 9.5 g/dL. Most of the participants had poor awareness about iron deficiency anaemia (69.4%), and only 6.1% had good awareness. Statistical analyses revealed that awareness was significantly associated with educational level, residence, financial status and parity number (p < 0.001). Binomial logistic regression analysis demonstrated that having adequate awareness increases the likelihood of not having anaemia by more than two and half times (OR = 2.72, 95% CI [1.02,7.27]). Conclusions. A low level of awareness regarding iron deficiency anaemia was found among pregnant women. Adequate awareness among participants can help in the prevention of anaemia.

“…A study conducted in Gujarat, India has found that being knowledgeable about effects of tobacco on health can reduce the risk to continue the smoking behavior by 30-40 % (Kahar, Misra, & Patel, 2016). A systematic review of studies in African countries and the Middle East has explained that the large gap of knowledge contributed to tobacco use (Adznam, Sedek, & Kasim, 2018). Similarly, a study conducted in East Africa has found that knowledge influenced smoking behavior (Tezera & Endalamaw, 2019).…”

“…Smoking practice will still continue if the supply of tobacco is available. Living in tobacco plantation areas trigger the community to practice smoking, or sociocultural reasons might contribute to that habit (Adznam et al, 2018). The alcohol consumption behavior also becomes the most common reason for adolescents to smoke (Nainggolan, Dharmayanti, & Kristanto, 2020).…”

Tobacco use is one of the predicting factors of non-communicable diseases. In 2003, cigarette consumption was the main factor contributing to 4.9 million deaths in developing countries. In 2020, Bureau of Statistics Indonesia reported 31.5% of Indonesian population were tobacco users. Particularly, in West Kalimantan province, more than one-fourth of men are smokers. Specifically, in the working area of Sungai Durian Primary Healthcare Center, third-fourth of men are smokers. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) with tobacco use. This cross-sectional study employed 218 respondents of 4,321 male population. The predicting factors in this study were knowledge, attitude, and practice. The statistical test was done using univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square), and multivariate (binary logistic regression) analyses. The bivariate analysis test showed that knowledge and practice were significantly associated with tobacco use. Regarding the multivariate analysis results, practice was the strongest factor affecting tobacco use (AOR= 4.25, CI 95% (1.93 – 9.36)), and the second strongest factor was knowledge (AOR= 2.46, CI 95% (1.00 – 6.04)). Tobacco use in the working area of Sungai Durian Primary Healthcare Center was mostly affected by practice. Primary healthcare centers as the nearest healthcare facility in the community need to improve health education and decrease tobacco consumption. A tobacco control can be implemented by banning smoking indoors to reduce smoking behavior. Abstrak Penggunaan tembakau merupakan salah satu faktor risiko penyakit tidak menular. Pada tahun 2003, konsumsi rokok merupakan penyebab utama kematian 4,9 juta penduduk di negara berkembang. 31,5% penduduk Indonesia adalah pengguna tembakau berdasarkan data tahun 2000. Secara khusus di Provinsi Kalimantan Barat, lebih dari satu per empat laki-lakinya adalah perokok, dan secara lebih khusus lagi, tiga per empat laki-laki usia 20-30 tahun di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sungai Durian adalah perokok. Studi ini dilakukan untuk menguji hubungan pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku terhadap penggunaan tembakau. studi cross-sectional ini melibatkan 180 perokok di antara 4,321 total populasi laki-laki. Faktor prediksi pada studi ini yaitu: pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik. Uji statistik telah dilakukan yaitu uji tunggal, ganda (Chi-Square), dan multivariabel (binary logistic regression). Uji ganda menemukan bahwa pengetahuan dan perilaku secara signifikan berhubungan dengan penggunaan tembakau. Lebih jauh, berdasarkan hasil multivariabel, perilaku merupakan pengaruh terbesar (AOR= 4,25, CI 95% (1,93 – 9,36)) dan diikuti dengan pengetahuan (AOR= 2,46, CI 95% (1,00 – 6,04)). Penggunaan tembakau di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sungai Durian sebagian besar dipengaruhi oleh perilaku. Puskesmas sebagai pelayanan kesehatan terdekat butuh menyelenggarakan pendidikan kesehatan untuk menurunkan konsumsi tembakau. Pengendalian tembakau yang diimplementasikan dengan larangan merokok di dalam ruangan sangat penting untuk mengurangi kebiasaan merokok.
