“…Para que una persona permanezca motivada en realizar cambios de comportamiento, es necesario que cuente con el apoyo de las personas que lo rodean. Estudios previos sugieren que el apoyo social aceptado está asociado con un aumento en la actividad física (23) . En el propio distrito de Bogor, las relaciones sociales entre las comunidades todavía están estrechamente entrelazadas.…”

La tuberculosis pulmonar (TB pulmonar) es una enfermedad infecciosa común en el mundo, incluso en Indonesia. Se transmite muy fácilmente a través de las salpicaduras de esputo. Fomenta el desarrollo de intervenciones para controlar la transmisión de la TB, como la educación sanitaria estructurada. El objetivo de este estudio fueron determinar el efecto de la intervención de educación sanitaria estructurada sobre el comportamiento preventivo de la tuberculosis pulmonar en la regencia de Bogor, Indonesia. Este estudio utilizó un diseño cuasiexperimental con diseño previo y posterior a la prueba, que involucró a 82 miembros adultos de la comunidad de edad que se dividieron en grupos de intervención y control. El muestreo aleatorio en varias etapas se utilizó para determinar el área de investigación, mientras que el sujeto de investigación se seleccionó mediante muestreo aleatorio simple. Los resultados mostraron que la educación estructurada afecta significativamente el conocimiento (valor de p = 0,000), la actitud (valor de p = 0,000) y la prevención de habilidades de transmisión de TB pulmonar (valor de p = 0,000). La salud estructurada podría aplicarse como una alternativa de intervención de enfermería comunitaria que se puede administrar a las personas en riesgo de TB pulmonar. Pulmonary Tuberculosis (pulmonary TB) is a common infectious disease in the world, including in Indonesia. It is very easily transmitted through sputum splashes. It encourages development of interventions in order to control the transmission of TB, such as structured health education. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of structured health education intervention on the prevention behavior of pulmonary TB in Bogor regency, Indonesia. This study used quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-test design, involving 82 adults age community member who were devided into intervention and control group. The study was conducted in districts with high TB prevalence selected by purposive sampling, while the research subject was selected using simple random sampling. The results showed that structured education significantly affects knowledge (p value = 0,000), attitude (p value = 0,000), and skill prevention of pulmonary TB transmission (p value = 0,000). Structured health could applied as an alternative choice of community nursing interventions that can be given to people at risk of pulmonary TB.

“…“Buddy‐style” interventions, where persons are encouraged to carry out, for example, strength exercises, have been successful in both the general population and in the older generally healthy population living in community centers . A literature review reported that social support is a strong driver of health behaviors . It is able to function as a pathway by helping individuals to regulate their own behavioral changes, which are derived from their specific chronic conditions; for example, frailty …”

AimPrevious research suggests that multicomponent interventions including physical training, and nutritional and social support are required to improve a person's behavior. As a pre‐specified secondary outcome, this analysis aimed to ascertain whether a “buddy‐style” intervention could produce physical activity and nutritional behavior changes in older adults.MethodsA 12‐week, home‐based, randomized controlled trial was carried out with 80 older persons, who were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 39), including physical training and nutritional support, and a control group (n = 41). Trained non‐professional volunteers visited the participants at home twice a week. Physical activity and nutritional behavior were assessed through validated questionnaires.ResultsIn total, 36 participants in the intervention group and 26 participants in the control group completed the final questionnaire. The intervention group showed significant improvements in physical activity behavior, such as light sport activity (β = 9.13, 95% CI 0.90–17.37 min/day; P = 0.030), muscle strength exercise (β = 68.18, 95% CI 46.45–89.91 min/week; P < 0.001) and overall activities (β = 0.69, 95% CI 0.21–1.18 h/day; P = 0.006), compared with the control group. Nutritional behavior improvements for the intervention group were observed in the consumption of legumes/nuts (β = 0.18, 95% CI 0.00–0.35 portions/day; P = 0.047) and fluids (β = 0.48, 95% CI 0.01–0.98 portions/day; P = 0.050), relative to controls.ConclusionsA “buddy‐style” program in older adults living at home can produce effective physical activity changes and, to a lesser extent, changes in dietary behavior, and has the potential to be efficient and feasible.

Age plays an important role in the financial behavior of people. Financial matters are usually more seriously perceived at later stages of life. Nevertheless, the role of age in financial behavior is inconclusive. This study intends to add to the literature on financial behavior by focusing on the relationship between expenditure planning, gender and stress. The distinctive feature of this study is its scope and the sample of people participating in it. Besides being young, the participants are pre-service teachers. Hence, studying their financial behavior also augurs well for the nation, for these are the shapers of its future. Using an online survey, 127 pre-service teachers responded to 17 questions, dwelling mainly on their financial behavior. Logistic regression was then used to identify whether expenditure planning is related to stress and gender. The findings reveal that the failure to plan one’s expenditures could cause stress and in which gender could be the determinant factor. Thus, it is recommended to take actions on higher rate of financial literacy among pre-service teachers.
