Criteria for successful aging: free of disease and disability; high levels of physical and cognitive functioning; and social engagement. The aim of this study was to describe factors associated with successful aging among older peopleMethods: The literature search strategy identified 1.914 articles. The PRISMA strategy was used to identify articles that met inclusion criteria. Initially 255 duplicated studies were excluded; resulting in 1659 articles screened for inclusion in this review. A further 1567 articles were removed based on the title and abstract. The remaining 32 articles were assessed for inclusion this review. Nineteen articles were excluded. In total 13 studies met inclusion criteria for this review. These 13 studies were assessed for quality, data extraction and synthesis.Results: The factors associated with successful aging are age, gender, few physical morbidities, absence of depression, body weight or BMI in the overweight range, carrying out more than six AADL and high levels of physical activity, education, smoking, alcohol consumption, marital status, proactive engagement, wellness resources, positive spirit, and valued relationships, sleep quality, leisure activity, economic status, religious activity, and high perceived meaningfulness.Conclusion: The factors that influence successful aging are socio-demographic factor, physiological, psychological, and lifestyle behavioral factors. This study shed light on the key factors that healthcare providers or researchers should consider in intervention studies and programs to promote healthy aging.

Introduction: This review aims to explore the factors influencing cervical screening uptake among women in low and middle-income countries.Methods: The studies were systematically identified by searching electronic databases with the keywords “cervical cancer AND screening AND low of income countries AND middle of income countries.” The results consisted of 94 articles from Scopus, 100 articles from Science Direct, 74 articles from EBSCO, and 32 articles from PubMed. Following this, 16 studies were included in this systematic review with the inclusion criteria being quantitative or qualitative studies exploring the factors influencing woman’s cervical cancer screening uptake covering women in low- and middle- income countries, a clear study outcome and details on the associated factors, barriers to, and facilitators of screening uptake.Results: Knowledge about the disease and its prevention, knowing someone with cervical cancer and someone who has ever been screened, attitude and perception, husband approval,  advice from the health care providers, and the distance to health care service were all important factors related to cervical cancer screening uptake in low and middle-income countries.  The uptake of cervical cancer screening services was poor in low and middle-income countries. There is a need to strengthen the knowledge and awareness of woman related to cervical cancer screening services.Conclusion: The available evidence shows that intrapersonal and organizational factors are the most important factors that influence woman to undergo cervical cancer screening.

Introduction: Elderly abuse appears to become an important public health concern and to be widely underestimated by health professionals. The cases are misunderstood and misreported, and often reported as fatal consequences of crimes toward elders. The aim of this review was to explore the factors in occurrence of elder abuse among healthcare workers in nursing homes.Methods: Seven databases, including Scopus, EBSCO, ProQuest, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science and ScienceDirect, were explored to search relevant articles. The initial keywords were “elderly” “abuse” “healthcare workers” and “nursing homes”. The search was limited to English and the data sources were limited to articles published from 2015-2020.Results: The perspective of the WHO’s integrated care for older people was used as a lens to discuss the results. Fourteen articles were involved in the review. This review suggests that healthcare workers in nursing homes do elder abuse because of their high workload and lack of knowledge around the topic.Conclusion: This finding acts as a contributor to the paucity of study about elder abuse among healthcare workers. The available evidence suggests that elder abuse has become a significant problem in nursing homes. It is indicated that elder abuse was never been a popular topic among the health workers in nursing homes.

Introduction: Gastritis is the inflammation of the gastric mucosa that is characterized by discomfort felt in the upper abdomen in addition to nausea, vomiting, a decreased appetite and headaches.  The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of health education on the student’s behavior and on the prevention of gastritis. Methods: The design used was pre-experimental with a pretest-posttest design approach. The sampling technique used in this study was a total sampling technique resulting in 57 respondents. Before the intervention, the respondents filled in a questionnaire about the concept of gastritis. Furthermore, the respondents were given health education intervention material about gastritis in the form of leaflets containing information on the understanding, causes, signs and symptoms, risk factors and prevention. The intervention was only conducted for one session for 20-30 minutes per respondent. Following this, 1 hour later, the intervention was evaluated by giving the same questionnaire to the respondent to fill in according to the questions. The data analysis used a paired sample t-test ρ = 0,000.Results: The results showed an increase in behavior before and after the intervention related to preventing gastritis among the students. The results showed that 28 respondents (49.1%) with good behavior changed to 33 respondents (57.9%) who behaved well. Conclusion: The conclusion is that there is a significant influence from counseling on the prevention of gastritis among high school students.
