Abstract

Background: During pregnancy, there is an increase in maternal metabolism, which affects the growth of the fetus and fetal organs. Pregnant women who cannot meet nutritional needs can risk experiencing problems with poor nutritional status. This adversely affects the baby and the mother. One of the anthropometric measurements commonly used to assess pregnant women's nutritional status is measuring the Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC). Pregnant women with MUAC interpretation less than 23.5 cm are said to be at risk of chronic energy deficiency (CED). Purposes: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the MUAC of pregnant women and the baby's body weight. Methods: The research methodology used analytical observational with a cross-sectional approach to the medical records of 104 mothers at the Taman Baca Health Center, Pembina Health Center, and Plaju Palembang Health Center. Data were collected by purposive sampling. Result: The results of this study showed that MUAC for pregnant women was more than equal to 23.5 cm as many as 86 (82,7%) respondents, while pregnant women of MUAC were less than 23.5 cm as many as 18 (17,3%) respondents. Analysis with Fisher's Exact Test with p-value=1,000. Conclusion: there was no meaningful relationship between the MUAC of pregnant women and the body weight of babies.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of anxiety among medical students is still relatively high, including in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE). This anxiety will have an impact on students' academic achievement. Relaxation techniques can be used to overcome anxiety incidents, and dhikr is a form of relaxation activity. Purposes: This research aimed to determine the decrease in student anxiety about the OSCE exam by dhikr istighfar. Methods: The method used in this research was quasi-experimental research with a pre-posttest and control group design. The research subjects were students of the Muhammadiyah University Palembang first-semester medical study program who would undergo the OSCE block exam and were willing to participate in this research through informed consent. Result: Research data analysis showed that comparison between pretest and posttest for each group also showed significant differences (P < 0.001). It means that dhikr istighfar is significantly effective in reducing students’ anxiety, especially during OSCCE. Conclusion: In conclusion, Dhikr Istighfar may be used as an anxiety management tool in medical education to overcome the anxiety level of students who will take exams, especially OSCE.
