Adaptation and validation of HIV/Aids module for university students in Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan
University students in Pakistan frequently possess limited and inaccurate understanding of HIV/AIDS, including misconceptions about how it spreads, immunity, and treatment. This knowledge gap increases their vulnerability, as young adults are a high-risk group for new infections. The study focused on adapting and validating a culturally suitable HIV/AIDS educational module specifically for university students in Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan. The vali…
Psychometric validation of the Chinese version of the perceived stress scale-10 among pregnant women
Stress during pregnancy can significantly impact maternal and fetal health. Accurately assessing perceived stress is crucial for early intervention and improved health outcomes. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is a widely used tool for measuring perceived stress. However, the Chinese version (CPSS-10) has not yet been validated among pregnant women in mainland China. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the CPSS-10 in t…
Vitamin intake and its association with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among Malaysian adults
This study found an alarming deficiency of vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, E, and K in the dietary intake among the Malaysian adult population regardless of T2DM status. The dietary vitamin deficiency (vitamins B6, B9, B12, E, and K) was more susceptible among those with T2DM compared to non-T2DM. This study indicated that higher dietary vitamin intake (vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, E, and K) could benefit by reducing the prevalence of T2DM. Therefore,…
Factors related with lung functions among Orang Asli in Tasik Chini, Malaysia
FEV 1 levels were significantly associated with age group 18-39 years old, whereas FVC levels were significantly associated with the presence of woodstove in the house. Thus, environmental interventions such as replacing the use of woodstove with LPG, need to be carried out to prevent further worsening of respiratory health among Orang Asli who lived far from health facilities. Moreover, closer health monitoring is crucial especially among the yo…
Exhaled Carbon Monoxide Level and Practices among Tobacco and Nicotine Adult Users in Klang Valley, Malaysia
Tobacco and nicotine derivatives uses are multiple in nature. These include conventional cigarettes (CCs), heated tobacco products (HTPs), and electronic cigarettes (ECs). This study aims to determine the practices, nicotine dependency profile, association with exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) level, and pulmonary function (PF) among adult product users and non-smokers. This cross-sectional study involved smokers, nicotine users, and non-smokers fro…
Assessing Factors Associated with Non-Fatal Injuries from Road Traffic Accidents among Malaysian Adults
The occurrence of NFIs due to RTAs is highly preventable with strategic planning aimed at reducing the risk of RTAs among the Malaysian population. Interventions focusing on protecting road users, especially those who drive two-wheelers, with proactive road safety awareness and literacy campaigns, combined with strict enforcement of the existing traffic laws and behavioural modifications, may reduce the risk of NFIs following RTAs
Physical inactivity in early pregnancy and the determinants in an urban city setting of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The prevalence of physical inactivity among first trimester pregnant mothers in this study was 38.3%, and the highest activity was seen in the household category. Health education on physical activity in pregnancy should be focused on those who are primigravida and have no tertiary education. The educational content should be updated and tailored to current pandemic situation where self-isolation is the new norm, by advocating for home-based, mod…
Mercury Hair Concentration among Primary School Children in Malaysia
The main concern regarding mercury exposure is the adverse health effect on the developing nervous system. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine hair mercury levels and their association with socio-demographic characteristics, complaints about mercury poisoning symptoms and the fish consumption pattern among children in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 215 school children aged 11 years old. Hair was col…
Prevalence of asthma and level of fractional exhaled nitrogen oxide among Malaysian school children
Materials and methods The use of FeNO measurements in clinical practice has been increasingly accepted based on a number of theoretical and practical factors. It is not only a user friendly, portable and non-invasive assessment tool, but is also able to detect inflammatory airway changes in children exposed to atmospheric pollutions. The study respondents were randomly selected from secondary school students in Terengganu, Malaysia. A questionnai…
The practice of traditional and complementary medicine and factors associated with it among the medical staff in Malaysia
A total of 46.3% of the medical staff had ever used T&CM in their life and 32.5% of them used T&CM in the last one year, while 48.6% of the medical staff had ever referred T&CM to their patients or families in their life, and 25.2% of them referred T&CM in the last one year. Knowledge regarding T&CM was poor but positive perception regarding education in T&CM was high. Knowledge regarding T&CM was significantly higher in Hospital Duchess of Kent …
