“…Several factors influence non-adherence to ART in PLHIV, such as low level of knowledge (Martiana, Waluyo and Yona, 2019), not caring about their health status (Sefah et al, 2022), low motivation (Shrestha, Altice and Copenhaver, 2019), tired of taking medication (UNAIDS, 2017), hopelessness and trauma with side effects from treatment (Nursalam et al, 2021). Another study found that non-adherence of ART is also influenced by peer support, family caregivers, health service providers (Nursalam et al, 2020) and stigma or discrimination that comes from the public (Shrestha, Altice and Copenhaver, 2019;Agnes and Songwathana, 2021). If ART compliance is allowed to be low, more PLHIV will experience loss to follow-up and cause their immunity to decrease based on indicators of CD4 number, the OI and viral load.…”

Introduction: Globally, antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been successful in reducing the death rate due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Different conditions in Indonesia mean the death rate due to HIV/AIDS is still high. The problem lies in the low compliance with ART. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between ART adherence with number of CD4, the opportunistic infection (OI) and viral load in PLHIV. Methods: A quantitative survey with cross-sectional approach was conducted between August – September 2022. As many as 375 PLHIV were recruited and agreed to give consent as research respondents. All respondents completed a questionnaire about ART adherence, OI and had blood taken to check CD4 count and viral load. Analyses were performed using Chi-squared test SPSS version 21 with significance level p<0.05. Results: A significant relationship was shown between ART adherence and OI (p value= 0.000 with <0.05). The respondents who reported adherence in ART also showed asymptomatic OI. The analysis also showed that ART adherence had significant relationship with CD4 count (p value= 0.000 with <0.05) and viral load (p value= 0.000 with <0.05), respectively. Respondents adherent to taking ART had better level of CD4 and suppressed viral load in the body. Conclusions: Adherence of antiretroviral therapy is the important factor contributing to the immune status of PLHIV, which has an impact on reducing CD4 count and suppressing viral load, thereby preventing the emergence of OI.

Empowering families can enhance their ability to detect high-risk pregnancies early, which can improve the health status of pregnant women. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the family empowerment model on the hemoglobin levels of pregnant women. It employed a quasi-experimental method with a cross-sectional study approach, implementing a family empowerment intervention to examine its impact on the health of pregnant women. Sampling was conducted using probability sampling with simple random sampling, resulting in 60 pregnant women divided equally into an intervention group and a control group. The independent variable was the family empowerment model intervention, and the dependent variable was the hemoglobin level of the pregnant women. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with the Wilcoxon test statistic, which indicated a significant effect (p=0.000) of the family empowerment model on the hemoglobin levels of pregnant women. The statistical analysis revealed that the intervention group’s hemoglobin levels showed a significant difference (p<0.05) before and after the intervention. In summary, the treatment involving the family empowerment model significantly affected the hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. After the intervention, nearly all respondents demonstrated increased family involvement in maintaining and caring for pregnant women, facilitating the early detection of high-risk pregnancies, and contributing to increased hemoglobin levels among these women.
