Abstract

Menopausal women are 60% more likely to develop gout, this is caused by a decrease in levels of the hormone estrogen which causes uncontrolled uric acid disposal. Gout sufferers who continue to take analgesic drugs will cause side effects that are berbahaya so that nonpharmacological treatment is needed. One of the nonpharmacological treatments is the provision of soursop leaf water decoction. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of giving soursop leaf water decoction on the decrease in uric acid levels in menopausal mothers in Limba B Village of Gorontalo City. This research method uses pre-experiments with the design of one group pre-test-post-test. With a study population of 35 people and a sample of 15 people taken using purposive sampling techniques. The results of the research analysis used the Paired Sample T-Test which showed that there was an effect of giving soursop leaf water decoction before and after being given soursop leaf water decoction. with a value of p = 0.000 (<0.05) which means H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Based on the results of research it can be concluded that the decoction of soursop leaf water has an effect on the decrease in uric acid levels in menopause.

Abstract

Background : Limboto Lake is experiencing pollution that has led to increased turbidity and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), deteriorating water quality and posing health risks to the surrounding communities. Domestic wastewater flowing into the lake is the primary source of this contamination. One approach to addressing this issue is water treatment using chitosan derived from Hermetia illucens pupal shells, which has active amino groups acting as a natural biocoagulant. Chitosan was selected for its eco-friendly, biodegradable properties and its effectiveness in coagulation and flocculation processes. Objective : This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of chitosan in reducing turbidity and TDS levels in water samples from Limboto Lake. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : The research method employed was a laboratory experiment with a pre-test and post-test control group design, involving chitosan concentrations of 50, 100, and 150 ppm. Results : Results indicated that the highest reduction in turbidity occurred at a 100 ppm concentration, from a pre-treatment level of 14.14 NTU down to 1.79 NTU, or about 87.34%, meeting clean water quality standards. Furthermore, the highest TDS reduction was also observed at 100 ppm, from 68.93 mg/L pre-treatment to 41.3 mg/L, a reduction of approximately 40.08%, remaining within safe limits as per Ministry of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : Based on these findings, it can be concluded that Hermetia illucens chitosan is effective as a natural biocoagulant in reducing turbidity and TDS in lake water. The use of chitosan holds potential as an eco-friendly alternative solution for water treatment.
