Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had many impacts on various aspects of life, one of which is education. The education system has changed from face-to-face to online learning methods. Online learning methods make students more likely to use digital media such as computers, laptops or mobile phones. The use of digital media that occurs continuously and without being balanced with sufficient knowledge can certainly have impacts on eye health. One form of eye health problems that often arise due to the use of digital media is computer vision syndrome (CVS). Purposes: Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study to see the picture of students' knowledge about this disorder. Methods: The method used in this research is cross-sectional descriptive. Result: The mean age of the respondents was 19.91±1.648 years. A total of 82.7% of respondents complained of having more than 5 symptoms and as many as 98.5% had CVS. 90.6% of respondents complained about fatigue eyes, followed by 80.5% complained about eye strain symptoms and 80.5% complained about headaches, 42.9% of respondents have a lack of knowledge about CVS and only 15.4% of respondents have a good level of knowledge about CVS. Conclusion: It can be concluded that respondents’ lack of knowledge about CVS is the cause of the high prevalence of CVS in students, so they don’t know how to prevent this CVS. Therefore, it is necessary to take actions to increase students' knowledge about this disorder, so that it doesn’t cause negative impacts on eye health in the future.

ABSTRACT Healthy lungs are those that function well as respiratory organs and provide oxygen to the entire body. Exercise is one of the factors that play an important role in lung function. This study aims to determine the relationship between exercise, BMI, and lung function, including forced vital capacity (FVC), among medical students at Tarumanagara University. This research employs a cross-sectional design and an analytical observational study with 75 students who underwent spirometry tests and completed questionnaires related to their exercise habits. The results indicate that exercising at least once a week correlates with a significant increase in FVC, with a p-value of 0.005 (p < 0.05). However, the p-value for nutritional status and FVC is 0.802, indicating no significant relationship (p > 0.05). Readers of this study should consider engaging in regular exercise, as the findings suggest that exercise can positively impact the body. In conclusion, there is a relationship between exercise and forced vital capacity, whereas there is no relationship between nutrition based on BMI and forced vital capacity. Keywords: Exercise, Body Mass Index, Lung Function, Force Vital Capacity ABSTRAK Paru-paru yang sehat adalah paru-paru yang dapat berfungsi dengan baik sebagai organ pernafasan dan memberikan oksigen ke seluruh tubuh.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Tea is one of the caffeinated drinks most frequently consumed among medical students. Caffeine consumption is one of the external factors that plays a role in increasing blood pressure. Caffeine consumed as much as 300 mg can increase systolic blood pressure by 5-15 mmHg and diastolic 5-10 mmHg within 15 minutes and this increase in blood pressure lasts up to 2 hours. Research on the effects of tea on blood pressure and pulse rate among medical students is limited. To determine the difference in mean blood pressure and pulse frequency before and after drinking tea in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Tarumanagara University. This research used an observational experimental research design with pre-test and post-test. The research subjects were students from the Faculty of Medicine, Tarumanagara University class of 2021 who met the inclusion criteria with a sample size of 55 students. Data collection was carried out using a simple non random consecutive sampling technique. The results showed that there was a difference in mean blood pressure and pulse frequency after drinking tea compared to before drinking tea (p < 0.05). Tea consumption can cause an increase in blood pressure and pulse rate after 5, 10, and 15 minutes of drinking tea. This can happen because tea contains caffeine which causes an increase in blood pressure in the short term. Keywords: Tea, Caffeine, Blood Pressure, Pulse  ABSTRAK Teh merupakan salah satu minuman berkafein yang paling sering dikonsumsi di kalangan mahasiswa kedokteran. Konsumsi kafein menjadi salah satu faktor eksternal yang berperan meningkatkan tekanan darah. Kafein yang dikonsumsi sebanyak 300 mg dapat meningkatkan tekanan darah sistolik 5-15 mmHg dan diastolik 5-10 mmHg dalam waktu 15 menit dan peningkatan tekanan darah ini bertahan hingga 2 jam. Penelitian mengenai efek teh terhadap tekanan darah dan denyut nadi di kalangan mahasiswa kedokteran masih terbatas. Untuk mengetahui perbedaan rerata tekanan darah dan frekuensi nadi sebelum dan sesudah minum teh pada mahasiswa/i Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Tarumanagara. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian eksperimen observasional dengan pre test dan post test. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik non random consecutive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rerata tekanan darah dan frekuensi nadi sesudah minum teh dibandingkan sebelum minum teh (p < 0,05). Konsumsi teh dapat menyebabkan peningkatan tekanan darah serta frekuensi nadi setelah 5, 10, dan 15 menit mengonsumsi teh. Hal ini dapat terjadi karena teh mengandung kafein yang menyebabkan peningkatan tekanan darah dalam jangka pendek. Kata Kunci: Teh, Kafein, Tekanan Darah, Denyut Nadi

Abstract

Grip strength is a key indicator of muscle function and health in elderly women, influencing mobility and independence. Factors such as blood pressure, body composition, and metabolic biomarkers influence grip strength. This study examines the relationship between blood pressure, anthropometric measurements, hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood sugar, and uric acid with grip strength. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 34 elderly women (mean age: 72.24 years) in the St. Asisi Elderly Community, Tebet. Blood pressure, anthropometric parameters, and venous blood samples were analyzed. Grip strength was assessed using the Camry Electronic Hand Dynamometer. Statistical analysis used the Spearman correlation test (p < 0.05). Age showed a significant negative correlation with right-hand (p = 0.023) and average grip strength (p = 0.026), indicating muscle decline with age. Other factors, including blood pressure, hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood sugar, and uric acid, had no significant correlations. Among anthropometric measures, calf circumference showed the strongest positive correlation with grip strength (p = 0.063). Age is the primary factor affecting grip strength in elderly women, with weak or no significant associations for other parameters. Strength training and neuromuscular conditioning may help mitigate age-related muscle decline and support functional independence.

Abstract

Penyakit paru obstruktif kronik (PPOK) sering tidak terdeteksi pada tahap awal akibat rendahnya kesadaran terhadap gejala awal dan minimnya pemeriksaan fungsi paru di tingkat komunitas. Edukasi yang disertai pemeriksaan spirometri merupakan pendekatan potensial untuk meningkatkan deteksi dan pencegahan awal. Kegiatan skrining dilakukan di kawasan Danau Sunter, Jakarta Utara. Sasaran adalah masyarakat usia produktif yang mengikuti pemeriksaan fungsi paru melalui spirometri dan edukasi mengenai kesehatan paru. Pemeriksaan mencakup pengukuran vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), dan rasio FEV1/FVC. Edukasi disampaikan dalam bentuk poster visual dan diskusi kelompok kecil. Sebanyak 49 peserta diperiksa. Rerata FEV1 sebesar 70,48% dan FVC sebesar 72%, dengan rasio FEV1/FVC rerata 103,7%. Seluruh peserta memiliki rasio FEV1/FVC dalam batas normal. Nilai absolut FEV1 dan FVC menunjukkan adanya variasi kapasitas paru meskipun tidak menunjukkan pola obstruksi. Edukasi berbasis pemeriksaan terbukti efektif meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat terhadap pentingnya fungsi paru. Pemeriksaan FEV1/FVC mampu menjadi indikator awal perubahan ventilasi. Deteksi dini pada populasi tanpa gejala berperan dalam upaya promotif dan preventif penyakit paru kronik. Pendekatan kombinasi antara edukasi dan spirometri memberikan manfaat preventif signifikan dalam upaya deteksi dan pencegahan awal penyakit paru obstruktif pada masyarakat usia produktif.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Penyakit paru merupakan penyebab utama morbiditas pada populasi dewasa, sehingga deteksi dini dengan spirometri penting dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi fungsi paru. Profil lipid, termasuk kolesterol total, HDL, LDL, dan trigliserida, mencerminkan status metabolik dan dikaitkan dengan kondisi inflamasi sistemik yang dapat memengaruhi kesehatan paru juga. Tujuan penelitian menganalisis korelasi antara profil lipid dengan parameter fungsi paru melaui penilaian FEV1, pada populasi dewasa. Metode: Studi observasional potong lintang ini dilakukan di wilayah Danau Sunter pada Maret–Mei 2025. Fungsi paru diukur menggunakan spirometer digital Minato AS-507, sedangkan profil lipid diperoleh dari darah vena setelah puasa ≥8 jam dan dianalisis menggunakan metode dry-strip berbasis kimia kering. Uji korelasi Pearson digunakan untuk variabel berdistribusi normal. Hasil: Tidak semua indikator profil lipid dan indikator fungsi paru menunjukkan hasil yang signifikan secara uji statistik. Namun, terdapat korelasi positif signifikan variabel usia dengan FEV1 (r = 0,295; p = 0,023), antara kadar HDL dengan FEV1 (r = 0,284; p = 0,029). Kesimpulan: Fungsi paru dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor metabolik dan usia. Untuk faktor metabolik, kadar HDL yang menunjukkan korelasi signifikan terhadap fungsi paru, sehingga penelitian lanjutan perlu memasukkan variabel gaya hidup dan aktivitas fisik yang mungkin berhubungan.

Abstract

The application of proper cough etiquette is an essential part of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) and serves as a preventive measure in reducing the transmission of respiratory infectious diseases from an early age. Health education for young children is crucial, as this stage represents the formative period where foundational habits are developed, potentially influencing long-term individual and environmental health. This community service activity was conducted on May 9, 2025, at Stella Maris Kindergarten in Tangerang City, involving 29 Nursery group children. The main objective of the program was to enhance the knowledge and skills of early childhood students in practicing correct cough etiquette and to instill healthy behaviors that they can apply in their daily lives at home and school. The implementation of the activity followed the POAC approach (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling) in a structured manner. Activities included storytelling (using engaging illustrations), screening of age-appropriate educational videos, practical simulations of cough etiquette, and fun, interactive games. These methods were designed to encourage active participation and ensure that children could understand and retain the health messages through enjoyable learning experiences. The results showed a notable improvement in the children's understanding and active involvement in practicing healthy coughing techniques, such as covering their mouths with a tissue or the inside of their elbows when coughing. Visual education combined with hands-on practice proved to be highly effective in conveying health messages to young children. The teachers responded positively to the program, emphasizing that the approach used was appropriate and should be widely implemented in other early childhood education institutions. They recognized it as a valuable promotive effort and a long-term health investment for children, laying the groundwork for healthier habits and environments in the future.

Abstract

Background: Tea is a popular drink that is widely consumed in Indonesia. Some studies show the potential benefits of tea on cardiovascular health, but evidence regarding long-term effects in adolescents is limited. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between tea consumption habits and cardiovascular performance in the adolescent population in Jakarta. Methods: This prospective observational cohort study involved 1,500 adolescents aged 15-18 years in Jakarta. Data on tea consumption habits was collected through a structured questionnaire, while cardiovascular performance was measured through blood pressure tests, body mass index (BMI), and treadmill tests. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards analyzes were used to identify the association between habitual tea consumption and cardiovascular events over a 5-year period. Results: The results showed that regular tea consumption (≥3 cups/week) was associated with a reduced risk of hypertension (OR 0.65; 95% CI 0.48-0.88) and an increase in cardiovascular functional capacity as measured by treadmill testing (HR 0 .72; 95% CI 0.55-0.94). Conclusion: The habit of regular tea consumption among adolescents in Jakarta is associated with a reduced risk of hypertension and improved cardiovascular performance. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore the mechanisms underlying tea's protective effects.
