Abstract

Diabetes merupakan penyakit yang ditandai dengan terganggunya produksi hormon insulin, salah satunya akibat kerusakan pankreas. Terganggunya produksi insulin akan menyebabkan glukosa dalam darah menjadi tinggi (hiperglikemia). Diabetes tipe 2 adalah diabetes yang paling umum dan 90% dari penyakit diabetes. Permasalahan utama yaitu berdasarkan Survei Kesehatan Indonesia, Kalimantan Timur merupakan provinsi dengan penderita diabetes terbanyak ketiga di Indonesia dengan prevalensi 2,3% dan data Dinas Kesehatan Kota Samarinda sebanyak 6442. Penanganan diabetes dapat dilakukan dengan mengontrol pola makan sehingga gula darah stabil. Salah satu makanan yang dapat membantu menjaga gula darah adalah buah kapul atau tampoi (Baccaurea macrocarpa). Daging buah kapul memiliki rasa asam segar rasa ini dapat ditambahkan dengan gula agar membuat banyak masyarakat suka, namun tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah memanfaatkan buah sebagai penurun kadar glukosa darah sehingga penggunaan pemanis alternatif sebagai substitusi gula pasir adalah pilihan terbaik. aspartam adalah pemanis buatan yang dibuat dari senyawa golongan aspartat, fenilalanin, dan metanol. Aspartam tidak berbahaya bagi kesehatan, tidak menaikkan gula darah, serta tidak menyebabkan kanker. Metode pelaksanaan dengan mitra adalah melakukan koordinasi dengan Kelurahan dan Mitra untuk mengetahui gambaran glukosa darah dan edukasi ekstrak kapul sebagai penambah gizi dan penurun glukosa darah. Kegiatan ini mendapat kesimpulan meingkatkanya antusias warga setelah mengetahui manfaat dan cara pengolahan kapul dengan mengambil buah kapul sebagai buah tangan

Abstract

Background: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a non-specific indicator of systemic inflammation widely used in clinical laboratory practice. Physiological factors including menstrual cycle phase, anemia, and hormonal influences can affect ESR values in women of reproductive age. Female medical laboratory technology students represent an ideal population for studying physiological variation in hematological parameters. This study aimed to describe ESR values and complete blood count (CBC) parameters among female DIII Medical Laboratory Technology students at Poltekkes Kemenkes Kaltim and to analyze their correlation. Methods: This descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at the Hematology Laboratory of Poltekkes Kemenkes Kaltim. A total of 31 female students aged 18–25 years who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture; CBC was examined using a Hematology Analyzer and ESR was measured using the Westergren method. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation (α=0.05). Informed consent was obtained from all participants. Results: The mean ESR was 20.74 ± 16.38 mm/h (median 18.00 mm/h, IQR 11.5–28.5, range 1–76 mm/h); Shapiro-Wilk test confirmed non-normal distribution (W=0.8937; p=0.005). Based on the Westergren reference value for adult women (≤20 mm/h), 58.1% of subjects had normal ESR and 41.9% had elevated ESR. Mean hemoglobin was 13.01 g/dL with 12.9% classified as mildly anemic. Mean leukocyte count was 8,143 cells/µL with a normal differential. Spearman correlation analysis revealed no statistically significant correlation between ESR and all CBC parameters (p>0.05), although a borderline correlation was found between ESR and lymphocytes (rho=0.343; p=0.059). Conclusion: ESR values in apparently healthy female students showed wide variability, with 41.9% exceeding the normal reference limit, reflecting the influence of physiological factors—particularly menstrual cycle phase and hormonal status—rather than pathological processes. No significant correlation was found between ESR and CBC parameters, likely due to the narrow hemoglobin range in the study population. These findings emphasize the importance of considering physiological context when interpreting ESR in women of reproductive age. Longitudinal studies recording menstrual cycle phases are recommended.

Abstract

The increase in cosmetic use among adolescents is supported by the development of social media and the ease of purchasing cosmetic products online. A wide range of information on beauty trends is readily accessible to adolescents, encouraging them to experiment with various cosmetic products. However, not all adolescents fully understand the safety aspects and potential risks of contamination, including heavy metals and microbes, associated with the cosmetics they use, especially with long-term use. This situation underscores the importance of providing educational interventions to enable adolescents to make informed decisions and use cosmetic products safely and legally. The purpose of this community service program was to enhance adolescents’ knowledge and awareness of cosmetic safety, particularly among adolescents in Harapan Baru, Samarinda City. The education was conducted face-to-face through interactive lectures and discussions, followed by pretest and posttest evaluations involving 25 participants. The results showed an increase in the average score from 7.24 to 17.12 after the intervention, with a mean improvement of 9.88 points. The Wilcoxon test indicated a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.001). Communicative and contextual education has proven effective in improving adolescents’ understanding of cosmetic safety.
