Effectiveness of E-KSPR Telemedicine in Pregnancy Risk Assessment and Antenatal Care Quality

Abstract

Background: Perceived health status is an important subjective indicator reflecting individuals’ physical and psychological conditions and is closely associated with productivity in occupational settings. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with perceived health status among lecturers at the Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran.

Method: This analytic observational study used a cross-sectional design. A total of 68 lecturers were included using total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing perceived health status and associated factors, including behavioral, health service, environmental, and genetic factors. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression, with a significance level of p < 0.05.

Result: Among 68 respondents, 86.8% reported a positive perceived health status. Behavioral factors (p = 0.001) and genetic factors (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with perceived health status, while health service and environmental factors were not significantly associated (p > 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that behavioral factors (p = 0.012) and genetic factors (p = 0.008) remained significant predictors, with behavioral factors identified as the most dominant factor.

Conclusion: Behavioral factors and family history of disease significantly influence perceived health status among nursing lecturers. The novelty of this study lies in identifying these determinants in a specific lecturer population within nursing education. Faculty-based workplace health promotion programs focusing on healthy lifestyle behaviors, stress management, periodic health check-ups, and early detection of non-communicable disease risk factors are recommended to improve lecturers’ well-being, academic productivity, and the quality of nursing education.
