Title: Integration of the Maternal Death Prevention Program based on the Health Belief Model Framework Authors: Rizqi, Yuditha Nindya Kartika; Rubai, Windri Lesmana Abstract: In 2015, the Health Office of Banyumas Regency records 7 cases of maternal deaths, 243 cases of infant deaths, and 41 cases of under-five deaths. Compared to 2015, maternal mortality increases in the first three months of 2016. This research aims to identify the causes of maternal deaths that occur in 2016 in Banyumas Regency using the Health Belief Model conceptual framework. The results show that the cause of maternal death in Banyumas Regency is the lack of antenatal services due to the lack of knowledge and awareness of mothers, social status of women in the community, availability of health facilities, vulnerabilities received, benefits of antenatal services, barriers to access to health services, and quality of health facilities and health workers. The problem solving plan is based on the HBM concept framework that can be prepared consisting of stakeholder advocacy, health promotion programs through counseling for pregnant women, programs to improve access to health facilities, and intervention programs for health workers.

Title: Serum Homocysteine Level and Ankle-Brachial Index in Peripheral Arterial Disease Authors: Indrayana, Yanna; Harahap, Herpan Syafii Abstract: Patients with peripheral arterial disease have a higher risk of death compared to normal populations. There are several relatively new risk factors significantly increase the vulnerability to suffering from peripheral arterial disease, one of which is homocysteine. Studies investigating the role of serum homocysteine level as a biomarker of the severity of peripheral arterial disease based on an ankle-brachial index (ABI) in the different populations were still limited and it was never been studied in Mataram. This was a cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum homocysteine level and ABI in 77 peripheral artery disease (PAD) outpatients in Siti Hajar Hospital, Mataram. The diagnosis of PAD was based on ABI<0.9. Fasting serum homocysteine level was examined using the ELISA technique. Characteristic data collected were gender, age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and body mass index (BMI) category. There was a significant correlation between the increase of serum homocysteine levels and the decrease of ABI. The main risk factors for peripheral arterial disease in the subjects are hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and overweight/obesity. Serum homocysteine level is a predictor of peripheral arterial disease severity measured using ABI.

Title: Health-Related Quality of Life among the Elderly Living in the Community and Nursing Home Authors: Nugraha, Susiana; Aprillia, Yuna Trisuci Abstract: The increasing number of the elderly population presents special challenges in the health sector with the emergence of degenerative problems and non-communicable diseases (NCD’s) that may decrease the quality of life (QoL). Development in the quality of life of the elderly is an important issue for national security and development. This study using cross-sectional approach, intended to identify the differences in the quality of life among the elderly who live in the nursing homes and the community. The results showed that statistically significant differences were found in variable ages (p<001), education background (p<0.001), dependency level (p=0.024) for Activity Daily Living and (p<0.001) for Instrumental Activity Daily Living) and the overall score of QoL (p=0.036). Based on this finding, the differences approach must be given in meeting the mobility needs and daily activities of the elderly who live in communities and nursing homes.

Title: Knowledge and Motivation with Safe Behavior of Informal Sector Female Worker Authors: Suryanto; Parmasari, Damairia Hayu Abstract: One of the informal sectors that absorbs labors in Indonesia is informal work in the household. This job can absorb workers but having health problems and safety risks if they do not apply safe behavior. Factors influence safe behavior are knowledge and motivation. This study is to determine the relationship of knowledge and motivation to safe behavior in the informal sector female workers. This research is cross-sectional quantitative observational design. The sample are 45 workers. The independent variables are knowledge and motivation. The dependent variable is safe behavior. The instrument is questionnaire. Research data is analyzed by chi-square. The result of the study showed no significant relationship between knowledge and safe behavior (p=0,496>0,05). Chi square analysis showed there is no significant relationship between motivation and safe behavior with p=0.545> 0.05. This study gives insignificant results, so the next researcher can discuss more factors that influence safe behavior with different research methods so that they can enrich new findings in the field of Occupational Safety and Health, both of which later give significant or insignificant results. Therefore, this research is important to be published. The conclusion from the study is no significant relationship between knowledge and motivation to safe behavior.
