Abstract

Background: Pityriasis versicolor is a cosmopolitan fungal infection in tropical areas. The revalence is 50%, and it ranks second among Indonesia's most common skin diseases. Pityriasis versicolor was one of the ten worst skin diseases in Maluku Province. It was caused by environmental, behavioral, and public awareness issues, like people who don't follow clean and healthy living habits (CHLB). Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between clean and healthy living behaviors and pityriasis versicolor incidence in Ambon City orphanage children in 2024. Methods: This study is conducted by using quantitative research with observational analytical studies through a cross-sectional approach. The sample was taken using total sampling criteria, where population members who met the criteria would be used as a sample. Subsequently, sample of 32 respondents was obtained in this study (84%). Result: The analysis showed that the CHLB level was poor in 22 people (57.9%), and the proportion of pityriasis versicolor incidence was 32 (84.2%). Bivariate analysis showed the significance of the relationship between CHLB and the incidence of pityriasis versicolor with p-value = 0.003. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between clean and healthy living behavior and the incidence of pityriasis versicolor in orphanage children in Ambon City. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness about clean and healthy living practices to reduce the incidence of pityriasis versicolor.

Abstract

Sepsis is increasing every year and can be life-threatening. In the diagnosis of sepsis, it is challenging to identify the causative agent of infection. This research aims to determine the proportion of positive blood culture in sepsis patients at Hasanuddin University Hospital, Makassar. Blood cultures were collected from 98 adult patients with sepsis manifestations. This research design is cross-sectional with a descriptive observation approach. The data analysed in descriptive statistics were utilised to summarise patient demographics, treatments, and outcomes. Thirteen of 98 samples were positive for microbial pathogens (13.26%). The elderly group had the highest percentage (76.5%); eighty-seven patients (88.77%) were treated with antibiotic therapy prior to blood culture collection. Cephalosporins are the most administered antibiotics (72.4%). Administration of empirical therapy prior to blood culture collection may decrease the sensitivity of culture results. The culture of the infectious focus should be done to assist in the consideration of antimicrobial treatment.

Abstract

The increase in cases of degenerative diseases in Indonesia is a public health challenge, especially in rural areas with minimal access to health education. This article reports community service activities carried out in Negeri Kamal, West Kairatu, and West Seram, with the aim of increasing public awareness and knowledge about degenerative diseases. Activity methods include pretest, education by health experts, posttest, health examination, and free treatment. A total of 56 people were involved in this activity. The results show an increase in public knowledge by 65%, with 89% of respondents experiencing increased understanding after education. This activity not only has a positive impact on public health knowledge but also helps change behavior towards a healthy lifestyle. It is hoped that similar programs can be implemented on an ongoing basis to support efforts to prevent degenerative diseases in other areas.ABSTRAKPeningkatan kasus penyakit degeneratif di Indonesia menjadi tantangan kesehatan masyarakat, terutama di wilayah pedesaan dengan akses edukasi kesehatan yang minim. Artikel ini melaporkan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan di Negeri Kamal, Kairatu Barat, Seram Bagian Barat, dengan tujuan meningkatkan kesadaran dan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang penyakit degeneratif. Metode kegiatan meliputi pretest, edukasi oleh pakar kesehatan, posttest, pemeriksaan kesehatan, dan pengobatan gratis. Sebanyak 56 masyarakat terlibat dalam kegiatan ini. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat sebesar 65%, dengan 89% responden mengalami peningkatan pemahaman setelah edukasi. Kegiatan ini tidak hanya memberikan dampak positif terhadap pengetahuan kesehatan masyarakat tetapi juga membantu mengubah perilaku menuju pola hidup sehat. Diharapkan program serupa dapat diterapkan secara berkelanjutan untuk mendukung upaya pencegahan penyakit degeneratif di daerah lain.

Abstract

Streptococcus mutans is a component of the normal oral flora that can become a primary pathogen, leading to dental caries and tooth decay. Tooth decay and dental caries are the most common oral health issues worldwide. Treatment of dental caries and tooth decay represents a crucial effort in addressing global health concerns. One alternative treatment the community used to treat dental caries and tooth decay is thorn spinach (Amaranthus spinosus). Thorn spinach leaves contain bioactive compounds with potential antibacterial properties, including flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of thorn spinach leaf extract at concentrations of 10%, 20%, 40%, 80%, and 100% against S. mutans. This study employed a descriptive observational design, utilizing a laboratory-based experimental approach. The leaves were extracted using the maceration technique, employing methanol and ethyl acetate as the solvents. The results showed that these extracts can inhibit the growth of S. mutans. The inhibition zones were observed for the methanol extract at concentrations of 10% (6.84 ± 5.36), 20% (12.95 ± 0.85), 40% (8.45 ± 1.00), 80% (14.66 ± 4.17), and 100% (4.74 ± 2.88). For the ethyl acetate extract, the mean inhibition zones were at concentrations of 10% (0.08 ± 0.15), 20% (8.71 ± 4.04), 40% (11.99 ± 2.44), 80% (14.79 ± 5.13), and 100% (15.00 ± 3.09). These findings indicated that, among the two types of solvents utilized, ethyl acetate was more effective than methanol, demonstrating the highest inhibitory activity with moderate to strong inhibitory categories.

Abstract

Bakso menjadi salah satu jenis jajanan makanan yang dijajakan di lingkungan anak sekolah. Dalam indikator pemilihan makanan, anak-anak kurang memperhatikan tingkat keamanan dari jajanan sehingga dapat memicu terjadinya foodborne diseases. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui cemaran bakteri pada jajanan bakso ikan yang dijajakan di Sekolah Dasar Negeri Kecamatan Sirimau dengan parameter uji ALT. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan desain deskriptif kuantitatif pendekatan experiment laboratory. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dengan jumlah sampel dari 2 penjual. Sampel jajanan bakso ikan dianalisis dengan menghitung jumlah angka lempeng total (ALT) dengan metode cawan tuang menggunakan media nutrient agar. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian didapatkan hasil uji ALT koloni tertinggi pada kode sampel SB 2,1 × 108 koloni/g sedangkan hasil ALT sampel dengan kode SA 2,8 × 107koloni/g. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan kedua sampel tersebut tidak memenuhi persyaratan mutu dan keamanan bakso ikan berdasarkan SNI 7266:2017 dengan parameter uji ALT batas maksimum bakteri yaitu 1,0 × 105 koloni/g.
