Stroke is a causal factor that commonly caused physical impairments and activity limitations among patients to perform daily activities until at certain level stroke patients will experience disability. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of each demographic and clinical factors that is believed to associate with physical functioning of patients
those who experienced stroke. This present study also try to compare physical functioning of patients with associated factors and then examine the correlation between those factors with physical functioning. A total of 147 respondents that pass for cognitive screening test involved in this study. Barthel Index (ADL) was administered to the respondents after 6 weeks of stroke attack in order to measure their physical functioning status. Results found that there was a significant difference [F(3, 143) = 4.06; p < 0.01] between level of educations with physical functioning of patients. With respect to clinical factors also showed a significant difference (p < 0.01) was higher in physical functioning when stroke attack
occurred at right hemisphere of brain. There was a significant difference (p < 0.01) in physical functioning with respect to belief of recovery. Furthermore, number of stroke attack also showed a significant difference [F(1, 145) = 11.19; [p < 0.01] in physical functioning of patients. Correlation test that was carried out found a positive significant correlation
(r = 0.24; p < 0.01) between physical functioning with respect to the affected lesion side. In conclusion, demographic and clinical factors also played the roles to determine level of physical functioning among stroke patients and thus these factors should be considered in any studies that intended to enhance physical functioning of patients in future.

Preconception Care is an intervention starting from adolescence until near conception. Preconception Care refers to biomedical interventions and social preventive behaviors which can improve healthy babies and healthy mothers. Interventions carried out during adolescence are more effective in reducing the occurrence of pregnancies untimely, unplanned pregnancies. Preconception Care program has not run optimally so far. The purpose of this literature study is to present the research findings on how Preconception Care interventions in adolescents. The method used is the study of the research findings on Preconception Care published in the last ten years (2009-2019) in national and international reputable literature sources indexed by Scopus, Elsiver, Proquest, Plos One, and Google Scholar database. The keywords of Preconception Care, Adolescent, AKI, and AKB are used to facilitate the search for literature. The results of the study show that Preconception Care has a powerful impact on women's health and is part of Continuum Care, including Preconception Care, Antenatal Care, Intranatal, and Post Natal. Preconception Care in adolescents has a good impact on the preconception period and can reduce maternal mortality (AKI) and infant mortality (AKB), thus, it is necessary to optimize Preconception Care on adolescents.
