Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain that occurs in 69.8% of women. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains various secondary metabolites with anti-inflammatory properties. This study aims to determine its characteristics, including nutritional value and stability, product safety through toxicity testing, and product efficacy. The research stages include research ethics testing and the production of instant powder from a mixture of red and white ginger. Nutritional content analysis included total fat, saturated fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Physical and chemical stability testing was carried out for three months. Subchronic toxicity testing used Wistar rats for 28 days by drawing blood before and after treatment, accompanied by liver delivery. Blood samples were analyzed for SGPT and SGOT levels. The test was conducted on 10 women aged 18-20, divided into two groups. The treatment group was given 20 grams of instant ginger in the morning and evening for 10 days, and compared with the control group without treatment. Pain was measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after the study. The study showed that instant ginger herbal medicine contained 0.83% total fat, 0.17% saturated fat, 3.73% total protein, and 35.42% total carbohydrates. The stability test results showed no changes in the physical and chemical parameters of the test. The results of the subchronic toxicity test showed that the body weight of mice, liver weight, SGOT levels, and SGPT levels of mice were normal. The activity test showed a decrease in pain from before to after administration of instant ginger, with an average VAS value of 7.8 to 4.2. This study concluded that instant ginger, a mixture of red and white ginger, has good nutritional content, is physically and chemically stable, is non-toxic, and is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy remains a major public health issue in Indonesia. One of the contributing factors is intestinal parasitic infection, such as (buski fluke), particularly in areas with poor sanitation and raw aquatic plant consumption. To compare hemoglobin levels among pregnant women in endemic and non-endemic areas of Fasciolopsis buski. This was a comparative cross-sectional study involving 124 pregnant women, consisting of 62 from endemic and 62 from non-endemic regions. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and hemoglobin measurements using Hemocue®. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test at a 0.05 significance level. The mean hemoglobin level among pregnant women in endemic areas was 10.7 ± 1.1 g/dL, while in non-endemic areas it was 11.6 ± 1.0 g/dL. The t-test revealed a significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.001). The prevalence of anemia was 61.3% in endemic and 29.0% in non-endemic areas. There is a significant difference in hemoglobin levels between pregnant women living in endemic and non-endemic areas of Fasciolopsis buski. Endemicity of parasitic infection may contribute to higher anemia risk among pregnant women in endemic regions.

Abstract

Pemantauan skrining pada ibu hamil merupakan upaya penting dalam deteksi dini masalah kesehatan dan status gizi selama kehamilan guna mencegah terjadinya komplikasi pada ibu dan janin. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pemantauan skrining status gizi dan anemia pada ibu hamil di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Pemurus Dalam Kota Banjarmasin. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini meliputi pemeriksaan fisik ibu hamil, pengukuran lingkar lengan atas (LILA) untuk mendeteksi kekurangan energi kronik (KEK), serta pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin menggunakan alat Easy Touch untuk mengetahui status anemia. Setelah dilakukan pemeriksaan, ibu hamil diberikan penjelasan mengenai hasil skrining dan dilanjutkan dengan penyuluhan kesehatan tentang anemia dan KEK selama kehamilan. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh 30 ibu hamil yang berpartisipasi secara aktif dan antusias. Hasil skrining menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar ibu hamil tidak mengalami KEK (86,6%) dan tidak mengalami anemia (93,3%), namun masih ditemukan ibu hamil dengan risiko KEK dan anemia. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa pemantauan skrining ibu hamil dapat dilaksanakan secara efektif melalui kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dan berperan dalam meningkatkan deteksi dini masalah kesehatan ibu hamil. Diharapkan kegiatan ini dapat mendukung peningkatan kualitas pelayanan antenatal care serta meningkatkan kesadaran ibu hamil dalam menjaga kesehatan dan status gizi selama kehamilan.

Abstract

Intermittent Fasting is a nonpharmacological approach that can be applied in patients with Diabetes Mellitus to support blood glucose control; however, its implementation requires an adequate level of understanding and strong self-motivation. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of understanding of Intermittent Fasting and self-motivation toward the risk of increased blood glucose in patients with Diabetes Mellitus. A quantitative approach with a correlational cross-sectional design was employed, involving 66 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results demonstrated a significant relationship between the level of understanding of Intermittent Fasting and self-motivation (r = 0.375; p = 0.002), indicating a positive direction with a weak correlation strength. These findings suggest that a better level of understanding of Intermittent Fasting tends to be associated with higher self-motivation in the context of controlling the risk of increased blood glucose. Structured education regarding Intermittent Fasting may therefore be considered as a strategy to support motivation and healthy lifestyle behaviors among patients with Diabetes Mellitus.
