Abstract

Many factor affect women’s reproductive health. Vaginal hygiene is important to women because maintaining vaginal hygiene is a part of reproductive health. Women use various feminine hygiene products that often as a part of daily personal cleansing routine. Personal hygiene practices using vaginal hygiene product can affect women’s reproductive health so it is important to have a good level of knowledge about vaginal hygiene to keep a good reproductive health and prevent various kind of reproductive health problems like yeast infetion (candidosis vulvovaginalis) and parasite infection (bacterialis vaginosis) in the future. Some of intimate cleanser product uses natural ingredients, such a reen betel leaf extract which has been studied has antibacterial properties. The aim of the the research is to find out the level of knowledge about vaginal hygiene and the level of satisfaction with the use of V-Cleanser Foam made from green betel leaf extract. This study used descriptive-experimental design with consecutive non random sampling and the data gathered by questionnaire. The respondents of this study were women over 18 years old. From 95 samples, 34,7% of respondents had good level of knowledge, 41,1% had sufficient level of knowledge, and 24,2% had bad level of knowledge about vaginal hygiene. According to the level of satisfaction using the V-cleanser product, the result showed 61% of respondents were very satisfied and 38,9% were satisfied.

Abstract

Background: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis, offering superior long-term patency and lower infection rates compared to other options. However, AVF maturation remains a significant challenge. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of aspirin in promoting AVF maturation and preventing failure in hemodialysis patients. Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases, including ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, PubMed, Cochrane, and ProQuest, was conducted from 2014 to 2024. Studies investigating the impact of aspirin on AVF maturation and failure were included. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. Results: Five studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing a total of 982 participants. Four studies indicated that aspirin significantly enhanced AVF maturation by increasing flow volume and promoting the development of a robust fistula. However, one study found that aspirin did not significantly reduce the risk of thrombosis or AVF failure. Conclusion: Aspirin appears to be a promising adjunct therapy for promoting AVF maturation in hemodialysis patients. Its antiplatelet effects, primarily through cyclooxygenase inhibition and reduced platelet activation, contribute to improved flow volume and fistula maturation. While the evidence for aspirin's role in preventing AVF failure is mixed, its potential benefits in enhancing maturation warrant further investigation.
