Abstract

Approximately 2 billion people, equivalent to half of the world's population, suffer from toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii that infects cats as its definitive host. Not only cats, T. gondii can also infect animals such as chickens, cows, goats, pigs, and sheep that act as intermediate hosts, including humans. Both feral and pet cats have the potential to be infected with T. gondii. Toxoplasmosis infection in humans can cause various disorders and diseases such as obertus, encephalomyelitis, chorioretinitis, hydrocephalus in newborns, and infertility in women. This activity aims to improve the participants' understanding in terms of pet cat care and effective handling of stray cats in preventing toxoplasmosis infection. The stages of activities carried out began with pretest, socialisation, discussion, posttest, and documentation of activities. The results of this activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge and understanding related to toxoplasmosis, which can be seen from the increase in post-test scores compared to the pre-test scores.

Abstract

Sleep problems are common among students, especially medical students, due to high academic workload and demanding course requirements. Lack of sleep can have negative effects on physical and mental health, as well as academic performance. Sleep hygiene, which includes practices and habits that support good sleep, can be a non-pharmacological solution to this problem. This study aims to investigate the correlation between sleep hygiene and sleep quality among preclinical seventh-semester medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Palangka Raya. The study employed an analytical observational cross-sectional design with 63 students selected through purposive sampling. Sleep hygiene was assessed using the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI), and sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The results showed that 9.5% of students had good sleep hygiene, 46% had moderate sleep hygiene, and 44.4% had poor sleep hygiene. Most students (84.1%) reported poor sleep quality. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant moderate positive correlation between sleep hygiene and sleep quality (r = 0.401, p = 0.001). It was concluded that there is a moderate positive correlation between sleep hygiene and sleep quality among preclinical students in the 7th semester of the Faculty of Medicine at Palangka Raya University. Keywords: Sleep hygiene; sleep quality; preclinical medical students

Abstract

In this study, the aim was to analyse the relationship between Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) infection and hand washing habits in grade 2 children at SD Negeri 1 Sabaru, Palangka Raya. Worm infestation is an infectious disease caused by parasites in the form of worms, especially in school-age children who are vulnerable because clean and healthy living behaviour still depends on parents.This study used an observational method with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 52 grade 2 children of SD Negeri 1 Sabaru who were taken using total sampling technique based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The examination was carried out at the Parasitology Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Palangka Raya University using the Kato-Katz method. Data were analysed using the chi-square test.The results showed that the incidence of helminth infection was 15.4%. The chi-square test showed a significant relationship between hand washing habits and STH worm infections with a p value = 0.000.In conclusion, there is a relationship between Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) intestinal worm infections and hand washing habits in grade 2 children at SD Negeri 1 Sabaru, Palangka Raya.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Tanaman Obat Keluarga (TOGA) memiliki peran penting dalam meningkatkan kesehatan mandiri masyarakat, terutama di daerah dengan akses terbatas ke fasilitas kesehatan. Pemanfaatan pekarangan rumah untuk budidaya TOGA dapat menjadi solusi praktis dan berkelanjutan. Tujuan: Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam menanam serta memanfaatkan TOGA untuk kesehatan sehari-hari. Metode: Intervensi dilakukan melalui edukasi berbasis poster, penyuluhan langsung, dan praktik penanaman TOGA di pekarangan rumah. Hasil: Masyarakat menunjukkan antusiasme tinggi dalam menerima informasi dan terlibat aktif dalam penanaman TOGA. Terjadi peningkatan pemahaman mengenai manfaat TOGA, seperti jahe untuk gangguan pencernaan, kunyit sebagai antiinflamasi, dan serai untuk meredakan nyeri. Kesimpulan: Edukasi dan praktik penanaman TOGA efektif dalam memberdayakan masyarakat untuk memanfaatkan lahan pekarangan secara produktif serta meningkatkan kesadaran akan pentingnya tanaman herbal dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a health problem in Indonesia, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Bitter melon leaves contain active compounds such as saponins, alkaloids, and flavonoids belived to be effective as larvacides and are expected to serve as a more environmentally friendly alternative for mosquito control in preventing the spread of DHF.Objective: To determine the potential of natural biolarvacide from bitter melon leaf extract (Momordica charantia L.) against Aedes aegypti larvae.Methods: An experimental study was conducted at the Public Health Laboratory of Tanah Bumbu in July 2024. This experimental research used 375 Aedes aegypti larvae with five treatments and three repetitions, observing the number of larvae that died after 24 hours. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene's test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney test, and probit analysis.Results: Bitter melon leaf extract at concentrations of 0,3% and 0,6% did not cause larval death, so it was not effective in inhibiting the growth of Aedes aegypti. While at concentrations of 0,9% showed a significant effect in inhibiting larval growth. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test on the death of larvae treated with bitter melon leaf extract obtained a significance value of 0,008 (p <0,05). The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed that there was a significant difference between the concentration of 0,9% bitter melon leaf extract and the positive control abate, as well as between the negative control aquadest and the concentration of 0,9% bitter melon leaf extract. The results of the probit analysis test obtained an LC50 value of 1,202%.Conclusion: The 0.9% concentration of bitter melon leaf extract can inhibit the growth of Aedes aegypti larvae. However, it is not yet suitable as an alternative bio-larvicide.
