Abstract

Stroke is no longer limited to the elderly but is increasingly found among younger populations. However, adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes toward stroke remain low. Stroke can affect oral and facial tissues, disrupting essential daily functions such as eating, drinking, swallowing, and communication. This study aimed to examine the effect of Health Belief Model (HBM)–based health education on students’ knowledge and attitudes regarding post-stroke neurological disorders affecting oral health. The study employed a quasi-experimental approach using a non-equivalent control group design among 64 first-year students of Dental Technology and Dental Health at Tanjung Karang Polytechnic. Participants were chosen through simple random sampling and then assigned to experimental and control groups. The study consisted of three stages: pre-test, intervention, and post-test. Knowledge was measured using 20 multiple-choice questions, while attitudes were assessed using 15 Likert-scale statements. Data were analysed using Paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank, Independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney with SPSS version 26. The results showed significant improvements in both groups (p < 0.05), with greater gains in the experimental group for knowledge (t = 24.334 vs. 8.184) and attitudes (t = 13.538 vs. Z = -4.944). However, based on the Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test, the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements than the control group (p < 0.05). HBM-based health education was more effective than conventional education in improving students’ knowledge and attitudes regarding post-stroke neurological disorders affecting oral health. The HBM approach was recommended as an effective educational framework for health promotion in post-stroke oral health care.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health problem caused by dengue virus transmission through Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.Continuous usage of chemical pesticides can have detrimental effects on the environment and human health as well as cause insecticide resistance. As a result, natural-based bioinsecticides are required as substitute vector control techniques. Bioactive substances with possible insecticidal properties can be found in the leaves of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and basil (Ocimum basilicum). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of extracts from basil and lemongrass leaves on Aedes aegypti mortality at varying concentrations and exposure durations.This laboratory experimental study used a Posttest-Only Control Group Design. The treatments consisted of a control group and extract combinations at concentrations of 40%, 50%, and 60%. Mosquito mortality was observed at 15, 30, and 60 minutes after application. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, Friedman, and Wilcoxon tests with a 95% confidence level. The 60% extract concentration showed the highest mortality with an 7.80 ± 4.11 killed mosquitoes on average. After 60 minutes of exposure, significant changes between concentrations were discovered (p=0.037). Significant differences between the control and 60% concentration (p=0.026) and between the 50% and 60% concentrations (p=0.036) were shown by post hoc analysis. Mosquito mortality rose with longer exposure times, especially at the 60% concentration. The best treatment for Aedes aegypti as a bioinsecticide was a 60% concentration of extracts from basil and lemongrass leaves, which worked best after 60 minutes of exposure.
