This disease results in significant morbidity and mortality. This study aims to analyze the predictors of syphilis incidence in the MSM population, namely age, education level, HIV status, use of condoms, consumption of drugs/injecting drugs, alcohol consumption, number of sex partners and STI examinations. The research design is cross sectional using secondary data from the 2015 IBBS. The analysis used is Cox regression which estimates the Prevalence Ratio value. The proportion of syphilis infection in the MSM group in 10 districts/cities in Indonesia is 15.7%. There was a significant relationship between HIV status (PR 2.05 (95% CI 1.58-2.66), Age (20-24 years old PR 2.45 (95% CI 1.07-5.64), 25-24 years old. 29 years PR 3.01 (95% CI 1.30-6.95), &gt; 30 years PR 2.42 (95% CI 1.04-5.65) versus 15-19 years), Alcohol (PR 1, 37 (95% CI 1.01-1.86), Education 1.45 (95% CI 1.02-2.06) with the incidence of syphilis infection in MSM while condom use, drugs, number of male sex partners and STI examinations were not statistically related with p value &gt; 0.05.</em></p> Marta Butar Butar, Mondastri Korib Sudaryo , Puspita Sari Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Health Engineering and Technology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://afdifaljournal.com/journal/index.php/ijhet/article/view/107 Mon, 29 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Antibacterial Test Of Avocado Leaf Ethanol Extract (Persea americana Mill) On Propionibacterium Acne https://afdifaljournal.com/journal/index.php/ijhet/article/view/219 <p><em>Avocado leaves are one plant that can be used as an antibacterial. The chemical content of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins and saponins has the potential to inhibit bacterial growth. This research aims to determine the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of avocado leaves against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This research uses laboratory experiments using samples of avocado leaf extract (Persea </em><em>americana</em><em> Mill). With concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% using the diffusion method. The ability of avocado leaf extract to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus bacteria can be seen from the size of the inhibition zone, namely positive by looking at the area of the inhibition zone around the disc using a caliper. </em><em>This research shows that the diameter of the inhibition zone for Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of 20% has an inhibition zone diameter of 8.71 mm, namely the medium category, a concentration of 40% has an inhibition zone diameter of 10.33 mm, namely the strong category, a concentration of 60% has an inhibition zone diameter. of 12,66 mm, namely the strong category, a concentration of 80% has an inhibitory zone diameter of 15,61 mm, namely the strong category. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of avocado leaves has activity to inhibit propionibacterium acne bacteria.</em></p> Rosanto Tamba, Harsan Arifin Kasan, Ika Suryani Pangaribuan Copyright (c) 2024 Rosanto Tamba, Harsan Arifin Kasan, Ika Suryani Pangaribuan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://afdifaljournal.com/journal/index.php/ijhet/article/view/219 Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Relationship Between Parent Parenting And Development On Toddler (1-5 Years) In Lukhu Lase Village East Lahewa Sub-District In 2022 https://afdifaljournal.com/journal/index.php/ijhet/article/view/135 <p>The pattern of parenting in the first five years of a child's life is very influential on four developmental domains namely motor, cognitive, language, and social emotional of the child.

The changes in the cardiovascular system due to increasing age are the cause of hypertension in the elderly which may cause many complications if not controlled properly. There are many kinds of treatment for hypertension; one of them is progressive muscle relaxation therapy. The purpose of this study was to treat chronic pain in elderly people with hypertension by applying progressive muscle relaxation therapy. This study used a descriptive method with a case study design of nursing care including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation and evaluation. The respondent was an elderly with chronic hypertension pain and sleep pattern disturbance. The research showed that progressive muscle relaxation therapy has proven effective in reducing chronic hypertension pain in hypertensive client. Based on nursing actions carried out for 3 days, the application of progressive muscle relaxation therapy can be used as an adjunct to overcome chronic pain which is useful for reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. Meanwhile, sleep support by listening to music can be used as an intervention to elderly in order to divert pain and anxiety to feel comfort and relax</em></p> Parulian Dormaida Gultom, Grech Sinaga Copyright (c) 2024 Parulian Dormaida Gultom, Grech Sinaga https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://afdifaljournal.com/journal/index.php/ijhet/article/view/220 Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Early Marriage Culture and the Occurrence of Stunting in Toddlers in the Coastal Area of Sumenep Regency in 2024 https://afdifaljournal.com/journal/index.php/ijhet/article/view/211 <p><em>Wedding early still become phenomenon general social​ occurs in various regions in Indonesia , including districts Sumenep .
