Actes du séminaire ajustement structurel et agriculture - Expériences de pays en développement
L'objectif de ce séminaire était de mettre en commun un certain nombre d'expériences de pays africains, méditerranéens et latino-américains ayant mis en oeuvre des programmes d'ajustement structurel, et de tirer de cette confrontation des conclusions sur la manière d'aborder le problème de l'ouverture des économies et sur son impact sur les différents secteurs productifs. Après une série d'étude de cas dans différents pays, la création de trois groupes de travail permettant d'approfondir certains thèmes de réflexion (rôle de l'Etat, dynamique de l'ajustement, besoins en informations pour l'évaluation ex ante de l'impact des PAS) est proposée. En annexe figurent les textes présentés lors de ce séminair
Women’s Decision to Become Commercial Sex Workers in Banjarsari, Surakarta, Central Java, and its Associated Factors
Background: Worldwide, an estimated 33 million people are living with Human Immuno Deficiency Virus (HIV). Sex workers are 10 times more at risk of HIV compared with the general population, due to an increased likelihood of being economically vulnerable, unable to negotiate consistent condom use, and experiencing violence, criminalisation and marginalisation. Little is known about factors associated with the decision to work as a female sex worker in Indonesia. This study aimed to examine factors associated with women’s decision to become commercial sex workers in Banjarsari, Surakarta, Central Java.
Subjects and Method: This was a case control study conducted in Banjarsari, Surakarta, Central Java. A total sample of 200 study subjects consisting of 100 female commercial sex workers and 100 non sex workers. The dependent variable was women’s decision to become commercial sex worker. The independent variables were knowledge of sexually-transmitted disease (STDs), family income, pro-commercial sex worker family support, snobbish life style, and access to whore house. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression.
Results: Women’s decision to become commercial sex worker was negatively associated with good knowledge of STDs (OR= 0.03; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.18; p<0.001), high family income (OR= 0.01; 95% CI<0.01 to 0.05; p<0.001). Women’s decision to become commercial sex worker was positively associated with strong pro-commercial sex worker family support (OR= 8.15; 95% CI= 2.63 to 25.23; p<0.001), snobbish life style (OR= 6.20; 95% CI= 1.81 to 21.24; p= 0.004), and access to whore house (OR= 8.52; 95% CI= 2 .49 to 29.17; p= 0.001).
Conclusion: Women’s decision to become commercial sex workers decreases with good knowledge of the STDs and higher family income. Women’s decision to become commercial sex workers increases with strong pro-commercial sex worker family support, life style, and access to whore house.

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH STUNTING AND WASTING IN CHILDREN AGED 12-48 MONTHS: AN EVIDENCE FROM LAMPUNG
Background: Stunting and wasting are a growth disorder in children under five. Stunting impedes human development, globally affecting 162 million children under five. Stunting is generally caused by recurrent acute malnutrition, whereas wasting occurs due to short-term malnutrition. Wasting indicates a recent and severe process of weight loss, which is often associated with acute starvation and/or severe disease. The prevalence of wasting is usually below 5% even in poor countries. Wasting is caused by the same factors that contribute to stunting. If untreated properly, stunting and wasting may cause low intelligence in adult life. This study aimed to determine factors associated with stunting and wasting in children aged 12-48 months.
Subjects and Method: This was a case-control study conducted at Mulya Asri, Panaragan, and Dayamurni community health centers, Lampung, from January to February 2018. A sample of 150 children under-five was selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variables were stunting and wasting. The independent variables were birthweight, maternal knowledge, maternal education, maternal nutritional status (mid-upper arm circumference/ MUAC), exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), diarrhea, lack of clean water, poor sanitation. The data were collected by questionnaire and maternal and child health monitoring book. The data were analyzed by a logistic regression.
Results: The risk of stunting increased with poor maternal knowledge (OR= 5.29; 95% CI= 1.30 to 21.54; p=0.002), low maternal education (OR=10.25; 95%CI= 2.26 to 46.79; p=0.003), poor maternal nutritional status (OR= 8.87; 95%CI= 2.14 to 36.74; p=0.003), low birthweight (OR= 9.86; 95%CI=2.60 to 37.47; p=0.001), no EBF (OR= 5.70; 95%CI= 1.59 to 20.46; p=0.008). The risk of wasting increased with poor knowledge (OR= 10.95; 95%CI= 2.14 to 56.91; p= 0.004), low family income (OR= 7.04; 95%CI= 5.51 to 32.78; p=0.013), low birthweight (OR= 14.71; 95%CI= 2.74 to 79.06; p=0.002), URTI history (OR= 4.87; 95%CI= 1.23 to 19.38; p=0.024), diarrhea (OR= 6.09; 95%CI= 1.42 to 26.20; p=0.015), a lack of clean water (OR= 9.78; 95%CI= 2.26 to 42.36; p=0.002), and poor sanitation (OR= 7.67; 95%CI= 1.85 to 31.75; p=0.004).
Conclusion: The risk of stunting and wasting are affected by birthweight, URTI history, diarrhea, EBF, maternal nutritional status, maternal knowledge, maternal education, family income, lack of clean water, and poor sanitation.

The Psychosocial Impact of Obesity or Overweight in Adolescents: A Path Analysis Evidence from Surakarta, Central Java
Background: Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health. People are generally considered obese when their body mass index (BMI), a measurement obtained by dividing a person’s weight by the square of the person’s height, is over 30 kg/m2, with the range 25–30 kg/m2 defined as overweight. Some East Asian countries use lower values. Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases and conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, osteoarthritis and depression. Little is known about the psychosocial impact of obesity or overweight in adolescents in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the psychosocial impact of obesity or overweight in adolescents using path analysis.
Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at 6 junior high schools in Banjarsari and Jebres, Surakarta, Central Java, from October to November, 2017. A total sample of 160 junior high school students was selected for this study by purposive sampling. The dependent variables were depression, self-assessment, body image, eating disorder, and quality of life. The independent variables were obesity or overweight. Body mass index (BMI) was measured by body weight scale and microtoise. Data of other study variables were collected by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis.
Results: Obesity or overweight was associated with an increased risk of depression (b= 1.04; 95% CI=0.32 to 1.77; p= 0.005) and bad body image (b= -2.35; 95% CI= -3.20 to 1.49; p<0.001). Depression was associated with an increased risk of eating disorder (b= 0.55; CI 95%= -0.87 to 1.18; p=0.091) and poor quality of life (b= -0.64; 95% CI= -1.34 to 0.69; p= 0.077). Good body image was asssociated with positive self-assessment (b= 2.71; 95% CI= 1.89 to 3.52; p<0.001).
Conclusion: Obesity or overweight in adolescents is directly associated with depression and bad body image. Obesity or overweight is indirectly associated with negative self-assessment, eating disorder, and poorer quality of life.
