Abstract

Background: Neck muscle stiffness is the most common finding of neck pain. The effect of physical activity on neck muscle stiffness is still showing various results. Currently, working from home as the result of COVID-19 pandemic had changed the daily physical activity of each person, including medical students. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between physical activity intensity along with total modes of activity and frequency of neck muscle stiffness events. Methods: This is an observational study with cross-sectional study design. Simple randomized sampling was used in this study. Data collection utilized modified EPIC-PAQ2. Data calculated and converted to MET-hour/week and units to assess physical activity intensity and total modes. Results: Physical activity intensity and total modes of activities showed no statistically significant relationship with the frequency of neck muscle stiffness in preclinical medical students in Faculty of Medicine, University of Sumatera Utara. Sex parameter showed significant relationship. Male category showed odd ratio of 0.358 (OR = 0.358, 95% CI) for developing more frequent neck muscle stiffness. Conclusion: More accurate studies have to be conducted to adjust confounding factors on the incidence of neck muscle stiffness.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal Child Handbook (MCH) is a guidebook belongs to mother and child, which includes information and records on health of mother and her child. However, not every mother in Indonesia owns and utilizes the MCH. While the ownership of MCH does not guarantee that expectant mothers know or understand the contents of MCH, the right utilization of MCH helps in detecting pregnancy related complication as early as possible and would increase intervention acceptance by expectant mothers. Methods: This analytic observational study assessed the knowledge of 38 expectant mothers as respondents towards the contents of MCH. The level of knowledge would then be compared according to the possession of MCH using layered cross-tab analysis in 90% CI. Results: There is a significant difference in total score mean between those who possess MCH and do not possess MCH. Pregnant mothers who own MCH scored 1.63 (90%CI 0.647 – 2.615) points higher than their counterparts. The group of respondents in 1st gravidity shows relationship between MCH possessions towards knowledge score category. Conclusion: There is a relationship between possession of MCH and expectant mothers’ knowledge score towards MCH contents in first pregnancy mothers.
