Abstract

Denture stomatitis, the main cause of which is Candida species, especially C.albicans, is an inflammation of the oral mucosa of removable denture users which can be associated with reactions to oral biofilms, denture materials, or trauma due to dentur-es. The use of chemicals as denture cleaners can increase the roughness of the base surface, so that herbal ingredients can be used as alternative denture cleaners. Neem leaves (Azadirachta Indica A. Juss) contain active ingredients that can kill bacte-ria and fungi, in the form of azadirachtin, salannin, meliantriol, and nimbin as well as tannin compounds, saponins, flavonoids and terpenoids which have antifungal mechanisms. This research was aimed to determine the effectiveness of neem leaf extract against C.albicans on acrylic resin denture plates. The sample of this posttest only control group design study consisted of 24 acrylic resin plates contaminated with C.albicans suspension. After that, the samples were immersed in 4 groups of disinfectant solutions, namely 5% EDM, 10% EDM, aquadest and Polident® for 30 minutes. The number of C.albicans colonies was tested by Kruskal Wallis and U Mann Whitney. The results showed that the mean C.albicans colony in the EDM 5%, 10% EDM, aquadest and Polident® groups were 21.50 CFU/mL, 15.50 CFU/mL, 27.50 CFU/mL, 6.50 CFU/mL respectively. Neem leaf extract significantly decreased the number of C.albicans colonies (p <0.005). It was concluded that the higher the EDM con-centration, the greater its ability to reduce the number of C.albicans colonies.

Abstract

Introduction: Academic stress is prevalent among final-year students, with thesis preparation being a significant source of this stress. Coping are essential as they effectively represent the body’s conscious adaptive responses to reduce stress through self-adaptation. This research determines the relationship between coping and stress levels in students from the class of 2020 at the Faculty of Medicine, Palangka Raya University, during their thesis preparation. Methods: The study employs a quantitative analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Simple random sampling was utilized for participant selection. The research instruments comprised coping questionnaires and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Data were analyzed using Charles Spearman’s correlation analysis with a confidence interval of 95%. Results: Out of all 96 respondents, 49 individuals (51%) had good coping skills, and 80 individuals (83.3%) experienced moderate stress levels. Notably, among the 49 participants exhibiting good coping, a majority (42 individuals or 85.71%) experienced moderate stress levels. The Charles Spearman test findings revealed a significant value of 0,013 (p < 0.05) with a weak correlation and the opposite direction (r = -0.252). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between coping and stress levels in students from the class of 2020 at the Faculty of Medicine, Palangka Raya University, during their thesis preparation.
