Abstract: This study aimed to identify factors that influenced the intention of men who have sex with men (MSM) to participate in voluntary counseling and HIV testing (VCT) and in accessing free condoms. A qualitative inquiry using one-on-one in-depth interviews was conducted with MSM participants who were recruited using a purposive s ling technique. Data analysis was guided by a framework analysis for qualitative data by Ritchie and Spencer, and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework was used to analyze the data. The findings were grouped into three themes—namely, (a) attitude encompassing knowledge about HIV/AIDS and HIV/AIDS services and the belief about the positive outcomes of the services (b) subjective norms including support from MSM peers and family members and motivation to comply with the support and (c) perceived behavioral control, which is associated with resource availability and having confidence and positive intention to participate in VCT and willingness to access free condoms. Findings indicated that personal, community, and structural factors were predictors to intention to accessing services. Interventions targeting large numbers of MSM population and further studies to understand what needs to be done by nongovernmental organizations and governmental institutions to halt the spread of HIV infections among MSM populations and increase their intention to use HIV/AIDS services are also recommended.

Abstract: As the number of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV PLHIV) in Indonesia has increased in recent years, more efforts have been expended to improve their health status. However, in a country where PLHIV are very much stigmatized, there has been little research concerning their quality of life (QoL). Hence, this study aimed to assess the QoL among PLHIV and its associated factors. Findings of this research can contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of PLHIV in Indonesia. A cross-sectional survey with convenience s ling was conducted from June to September 2018, at four healthcare centers in Malang, Indonesia. PLHIV, aged 18 years or over, were asked if they would like to participate in this study when they came to a health center to receive services. To protect confidentiality, the healthcare staff at the clinics assisted with recruitment and face-to-face interviews with structured questionnaires. Measurements included sociodemographic, medication-related, social support, HIV-stigma, and QoL variables. In total, 634 PLHIV agreed to participate in this study. A multivariate linear regression analysis showed that being older, having a job, living in an urban area, having better access to healthcare services, adhering to medication, being in an antiretroviral therapy (ART) program for more than 1 year, experiencing a lower level of stigma, and receiving more social support were associated with a better QoL. The regression model had an adjusted R 2 of 0.21. Findings from this research have significant policy implications. Policies focused on reducing social stigma and promoting medication adherence will likely have a positive impact on the QoL of PLHIV. Increasing public awareness and acceptance of PLHIV in Indonesia remains challenging, but would likely have significant impacts. Furthermore, interventions should also focus on reducing disparities in QoL between PLHIV living in rural areas and those in urban areas.

Abstract: Objective: To analyze the correlation between predictors (social support, resilience, and stigma) and depression among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) in Malang over one year of study. Methodology: Initially, 634 persons consented to participate. After one year of follow-up, there were 496 remained (June 2020 to September 2021). Baseline questions measured were sociodemographic characteristics, medications, social support, resilience, stigma and depression. After one-year of follow-up, multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the correlation between predictors and depression. Results: The multivariate logistic regression showed that social support, resilience, and stigma were significant predictors of depression (p .05). Patients with higher levels of social support and resilience were 0.92 and 0.91 less likely to be depressed, respectively. Participants with a higher stigma were 1.04 times more likely to suffer from depression. Conclusion: Worsening depressing within one-year of follow-up might significantly be correlated with increasing stigma, less resilience, and less of social support. Therefore, this study’s results might give a significant recommendation for the Government for developing HIV policy, which also addressing their mental health issue through maintaining their social support and resilience, and minimalizing stigma against PLHIV.

Abstract: According to the WHO, the second most prevalent cause of death worldwide is a non-communicable condition called stroke. According to DALY (disability-adjusted life-year), Indonesia has the second-highest rate of stroke deaths after Mongolia, with 3,382.2/100,000 people. Physical difficulties brought on by this illness includes issues with language and communication. Communication and language difficulties brought on by brain damage are referred to aphasia. Aphasia affects 21-38% of patients with acute stroke, and its effects include short- and long-term morbidity, high death rates, and patient social interaction restrictions. A case study of a 63-year-old patient who spent four days in the Dungus Regional General Hospital and complained of right-side weakness. Despite having trouble speaking, the patient can understand other people's language and instructions. The patient was relaxing after working in the fields before developing problems. The patient's first stroke occurred in 2020, and he later complained of facial pain and trouble walking. The patient had a history of coronary heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. An increase in the 3rd therapy was seen in a case study that involved an acute ischemic stroke patient treated at the Dungus Regional General Hospital with positioning, sweep tapping and approximation, passive ROM, and PNF for three days. Joint range of motion and muscle tone both exhibit improvements. The patient's capacity to respond to the therapist is also being developed.

Abstract: Introduction: One serious effect of knee osteoarthritis (OA) is falling. Some predictors caused its vulnerability, one of which was fear of falling. However, few studies investigated how fear of falling leads to falling among the elderly. This study analyzed the fear of falling towards falls incidence among knee OA patients in Malang, and the results of this study might have a significant recommendation for the geriatric fall prevention system policy in Indonesia Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 53 participants recruited using the purposive s ling technique from Puskesmas R al Celaket and Posyandu Lansia Samaan Malang from March-April 2021. Measurements were the Falls International Efficacy Scale (FES-I) to assess fear of falling, the John Hopkins Grading Scale to measure fall incidence, and the self-reported sociodemographic questionnaire. Data analysis used were the Chi-Square test, Independent T-test, and multivariate logistic regression to analyze significant predictors of falling. Results: From the bivariate analysis, it was found that the falling group tends to have a higher fear of falling than the non-falling group (34% and 1.9%, respectively). For BMI, the falling group tends to have a higher BMI than the non-falling group (27.2±2.8 and 25.7±3.9, respectively). While multivariate analysis showed that only fear of falling has a significant effect on falling incidence among the elderly (p .05), with participants having the risk 2.32 times (OR=2.32 95%CI= 0.96-4.87) of falling compared to others. Conclusion: As there was a significant positive correlation between fear of falling and falling incidence among knee OA patients, thus it gives a significant recommendation for the Health Department to design a fall prevention program for the elderly, focusing on managing its predictor.
