Abstract

Desa Nunsaen di Kabupaten Kupang memiliki potensi unggulan dalam pengembangan produk herbal berbasis jahe, kunyit, dan temulawak. Namun, masyarakat setempat masih dominan bergantung pada pertanian tradisional dengan nilai tambah rendah, keterbatasan sarana produksi, ketiadaan legalitas, serta kurangnya pemanfaatan media digital untuk pemasaran, sehingga produk lokal belum memiliki daya saing yang kuat. Program pengabdian ini dirancang untuk meningkatkan keterampilan produksi, memperkuat pengelolaan usaha, memfasilitasi legalitas produk, serta mendorong pemasaran digital sebagai strategi pemberdayaan berbasis potensi lokal. Pelaksanaan kegiatan menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif melalui observasi lapangan, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi tepat guna, pendampingan intensif, dan pembentukan 20 kelompok usaha. Hasil program menunjukkan adanya peningkatan yang signifikan, ditandai dengan lahirnya produk unggulan Kopi Jahe Nunsaen dan Jahe Merah Instan Nunsaen yang memiliki mutu terstandarisasi, kapasitas produksi lebih dari 200 kg per bulan, serta desain kemasan higienis dan menarik. Produk-produk tersebut juga telah memperoleh izin edar PIRT/BPOM dan mulai dipasarkan melalui platform digital, yang memperluas jangkauan hingga tingkat nasional. Program ini berkontribusi dalam peningkatan keterampilan, pendapatan, dan peluang kewirausahaan masyarakat sekaligus melahirkan model pemberdayaan holistik melalui integrasi produksi, kemasan, legalitas, dan digitalisasi. Kebaruan program ini terletak pada pendekatan komprehensif yang berbeda dari kegiatan serupa yang umumnya hanya fokus pada pelatihan teknis produksi. Dengan demikian, program ini dapat dijadikan prototipe pemberdayaan desa berkelanjutan yang selaras dengan pencapaian SDG 8 dan SDG 12.

Abstract

The increasing number of elderly individuals in Indonesia each year is accompanied by a higher prevalence of degenerative diseases, including hypercholesterolemia. However, with advancing age, elderly individuals tend to experience a decline in functional capacity, leading to reduced physical activity. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between physical activity intensity and total cholesterol levels among elderly residents at the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) in 2025. This analytical study employed a cross-sectional design involving elderly residents of the Kupang Elderly Social Welfare UPTD. Data were examined through both univariate and bivariate analyses employing the Chi-square test with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. A majority of the respondents fell into the young elderly category (60–69 years) and were mostly women. The findings revealed that the greater part of older participants showed low intensity in physical activity while having elevated total cholesterol levels. The Chi-square analysis demonstrated a meaningful connection between the intensity of physical activity and total cholesterol levels (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that a decrease in physical activity intensity correlates with an increase in total cholesterol levels among seniors. A noteworthy relationship exists between physical activity intensity and total cholesterol levels in elderly individuals at Kupang Elderly Social Welfare UPTD. Regular and appropriately tailored physical activity serves as an important strategy to maintain lipid metabolism balance and prevent cardiovascular disease risks in the elderly population.

Abstract

Central obesity can increase mechanical stress and inflammation on the spine, which can lead to low back pain (LBP). Housewives have limited physical activity and repetitive domestic workloads that can exacerbate this risk. Objective to determine the relationship between central obesity and low back pain complaints among housewives in Kampung Sawah Village, West Sumba. Method: A cross-sectional analytical study of 101 housewives. Methods: The study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 101 housewives were included as respondents. Central obesity was determined based on waist circumference measurements, while LBP complaints were assessed using a standardised questionnaire. The analysis of the relationship between variables was performed using the Chi-Square test. Results of the total respondents, 89 people (88.1%) were identified as having central obesity, and 67 of them reported complaints of LBP. The Chi-Square test showed a value of p=0.001, indicating a significant relationship between central obesity and complaints of low back pain. There is a significant relationship between central obesity and LBP complaints among housewives in Kampung Sawah Village, West Sumba. Prevention can be achieved through increased physical activity and education on ergonomic work posture.

Abstract

Hemodialysis is a long-term renal replacement therapy that can affect patients’ daily functioning and psychological well-being. Depression is common in this population and may reduce quality of life and treatment adherence. However, evidence on whether hemodialysis duration is associated with depression remains inconsistent, and local multi-center data from Kupang City are limited. Objective: To analyze the relationship between duration of hemodialysis and depression level among hemodialysis patients in Kupang City. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in July–August 2025 at three hemodialysis centers in Kupang City (RSUD W.Z. Johanes, RS Siloam, and RSUP Ben Mboi). Using purposive sampling, 163 respondents were recruited from a population of 365 routine hemodialysis patients. Depression was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Hemodialysis duration was obtained from medical records and categorized as <12 months, 12–24 months, and >24 months. Data were analyzed descriptively and tested using the Chi-square test. Findings: Most respondents were not depressed (60.7%), while 39.3% had mild to severe depression. The largest proportion had undergone hemodialysis for >24 months (35.6%). There was no statistically significant association between hemodialysis duration and depression level (p = 0.434). Implications: Depression among hemodialysis patients appears to be influenced by factors beyond treatment duration, supporting the need for routine depression screening and psychosocial support integrated into hemodialysis care. Originality: This multi-center study provides local evidence from three hospitals in Kupang City using a standardized instrument (BDI-II), helping clarify inconsistent prior findings and reinforcing a multifactorial view of depression in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract

Penggunaan obat antiinflamasi nonsteroid (OAINS) secara luas meningkatkan risiko gastritis melalui kerusakan mukosa lambung. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi efek protektif ekstrak daun salam (Syzygium polyanthum) terhadap gambaran histopatologi mukosa lambung tikus Sprague Dawley yang diinduksi ibuprofen. Penelitian eksperimental laboratorik dengan desain posttest only with control group melibatkan 30 ekor tikus yang dibagi menjadi lima kelompok (n=6): kontrol negatif, kontrol positif (ibuprofen 100 mg/kgBB), serta tiga kelompok perlakuan yang menerima ibuprofen dan ekstrak daun salam dosis 50, 150, dan 250 mg/kgBB. Preparat lambung diperiksa pada perbesaran 400× untuk menilai deskuamasi, erosi, ulserasi, dan hiperplasia. Analisis menggunakan uji Kruskal–Wallis dan Mann–Whitney (α=0,05). Kontrol positif menunjukkan kerusakan mukosa berupa deskuamasi, erosi, dan hiperplasia. Kelompok perlakuan memperlihatkan perbaikan histologis dengan penurunan skor kerusakan, terutama pada dosis 250 mg/kgBB yang menurunkan skor sebesar 26,5% dibanding dosis lebih rendah. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna antar kelompok (p=0,000). Ekstrak daun salam menunjukkan efek protektif terhadap mukosa lambung akibat induksi ibuprofen.
