Abstract   Background: Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is a microvascular complication in diabetes mellitus which allows it to be prevented through multidisciplinary collaboration that involves the active participation of patients, namely the application of self-care behavior. But unfortunately self-care behavior itself is still relatively low. Many studies have identified the relationship between knowledge and behavior to prevent LKD, but knowledge is not the only factor that influences this. Illness perceptions is a person's point of view that plays an important role in behavior and decision making. So, it is necessary to identify the dominant aspects of illness perceptions in DFU patients. Objective: This study aims to identify the dominant aspects of illness perceptions on LKD patients. Methods: This research design uses a descriptive quantitative method with data collection through a questionnaire survey. Results: This study used 43 samples after being identified there were 2 dominant aspects of illness perception in LKD patients, namely aspects of treatment control and coherence. Conclusion: The higher the patient's confidence in the treatment control and understanding of the disease, the better the foot care will be.   Keywords: Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Dominant aspect, illness perceptions

Background: Sexual education is an important part in supporting the SDGs program to ensure a healthy life and gender equality. Sexual education is one of the efforts to prevent an increase in sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), HIV AIDS, sexual behavior, and issues related to gender rights. The Indonesian Demographic and Health Data Survey (2017) stated that 2% of women aged 15-24 years and 8% of men aged 15-24 years had sexual relations before marriage. The CDC ( 2019) states that half of new STI sufferers are patients aged 15-24 years. This will certainly affect the quality of life of adolescents and the next generation. So far, efforts to increase sexual knowledge through the provision of information have been carried out, but have not been optimal. Education that is adjusted to age and gender can be one strategy in increasing sexual knowledge. Objective: To analyze the relationship between gender and the level of knowledge of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in students.Methods: This study uses an analytical survey method with a cross-sectional survey design, data collection through a questionnaire survey. A total of 248 respondents, using purposive sampling, nonprobability sampling technique. Analysis using chi square test. Results:The results of statistical tests showed that there was a significant relationship between gender and the level of knowledge of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), p value 0.006 (<0.05). Conclusion: Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) based age-gender can be a strategy in preventing sexual problems.
