Abstract

Introduction: Anaemia in female adolescents tends to have a negative impact that is likely to later arise in pregnancy, labour and childbirth. The prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia in female adolescents in Indonesia is thirty percent. Indonesia runs an iron tablet program for female adolescents. However, with the running of the program, it is not clear what factors are correlated with the intention of iron tablet consumption among female adolescents. The purpose of this study was to analyse the factors correlated with the intention of iron tablet consumption among female adolescents.Methods: This research used a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 100 students in senior high school in Surabaya, chosen by proportional random sampling. The independent variables were parent income, knowledge, perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived threats, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived self-efficacy. The dependent variable was female adolescent intention related to consuming iron tablets. The data was collected using a questionnaire and analysed by a chi square test with a level of significance α<0.05.Results: There was a significant correlation between perceived threat (p=0.02), perceived benefit (p=0.01), perceived barrier (p=0.02) and perceived self-efficacy (p=0.00) and female adolescent intention related to consuming iron tablets. There was no correlation between parental income, adolescent knowledge, perceived susceptibility, and perceived seriousness with the intention to consume iron tablets.Conclusion: From this research, it has been concluded that the factors related to the intention to consume iron tablets in female adolescents were perceived threat, perceived benefit, perceived barrier and perceived self-efficacy. Increasing the confidence of female adolescents in association with the importance of avoiding anaemia by consuming iron tablets is crucial so then they can maintain their health and prevent diseases due to anaemia later on.

Abstract

Leg edema is a common complaint in third trimester pregnant women. It is believed that soaking in kencur warm water and salt warm water can help overcome this. Comparing the effectiveness of soaking in warm kencur water with warm salt water on leg edema in third trimester pregnant women. Quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest design with the control group. A total of 60 third trimester pregnant women were divided into two groups: the kencur warm water immersion group (n=30) and the salt warm water immersion group (n=30). The intervention was carried out for 15 minutes, twice a day for 3 days. Leg edema was measured using a measuring tape before and after the intervention. There was a significant reduction in leg edema in both groups after intervention (p<0.05). The reduction in leg edema in the kencur warm water immersion group was greater than in the salt warm water immersion group (p<0.05). Kencur warm water soaks are more effective than salt warm water soaks in reducing leg edema in third-trimester pregnant women.

Abstract

Anemia is a global health concern, particularly prevalent in developing countries. Traditional remedies like tamarillo and pitaya have been suggested to boost blood production. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these juices in managing anemia. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Participants with mild to moderate anemia (hemoglobin 8-11 g/dL) were randomized to receive daily tamarillo juice, pitaya juice, or a placebo for 12 weeks. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron levels, and hematological parameters were assessed at baseline and week 12. A total of 150 participants completed the study (50 per group). Both tamarillo and pitaya juice groups showed significant increases in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). Pitaya juice also demonstrated a significant increase in iron levels (p < 0.01). No serious adverse events were reported. Tamarillo and pitaya juices show promise as adjunctive therapies for anemia management. Further research is needed to explore their long-term effects and mechanisms of action.

Abstract

Post-immunization fever is a common side effect in infants, often causing discomfort and concern for parents. Hibiscus leaf extracts have been traditionally used for their anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. This study investigated the efficacy of hibiscus leaf extracts as a potential therapeutic agent for post-immunization fever in infants. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 120 infants aged 2-4 months who received their first dose of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DPT) vaccine. Participants were randomly assigned to either the hibiscus extract group (n=60) or the control group (n=60). The hibiscus extract group received a standardized dose of hibiscus leaf extract orally, while the control group received standard care. Fever was assessed at regular intervals for 48 hours post-immunization. Infants in the hibiscus extract group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of fever (p=0.02) and a reduced duration of fever (p=0.04) compared to the control group. Furthermore, the hibiscus extract group showed a lower average temperature throughout the observation period. No adverse effects were reported in the hibiscus extract group. In conclusion, hibiscus leaf extracts demonstrate promising anti-inflammatory properties and may serve as a safe and effective therapeutic agent for post-immunization fever in infants. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and long-term effects.

Abstract

This study focuses on the importance of reproductive health education for adolescents as an effort to improve knowledge and attitudes in facing puberty and mental health. Adolescents, aged 10-19 years according to WHO and 10-18 years according to the Indonesian Ministry of Health, are in a critical transition period that affects their physical, mental and social health. Lack of knowledge about puberty and how to deal with it can have a negative impact on reproductive health, including the risk of anemia, obesity, and mental health problems experienced by more than a third of adolescents in Indonesia. As a solution, Adolescent Posyandu was implemented at SMP Negeri 57 Surabaya by involving Student Health Unit (UKS) cadres as peer tutors. This activity is a collaboration between the Midwife Professional Education Study Program of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Siwalankerto Health Center and the University of Brunei Darussalam, was carried out on November 8, 2024 and attended by 26 students. The program consisted of five stages of service: registration, health checks (blood pressure, weight, height, upper arm circumference (LiLA), abdominal circumference (LP)), recording, nutrition in health education, and counseling. In addition, counseling on puberty, nutrition, and mental health was delivered through educational games to improve the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of adolescents. The results showed an increase in participants' understanding of physical changes during puberty, the importance of nutrition, and the important role of peers in supporting mental health through educational games. UKS cadres are expected to act as pioneers in disseminating the information and knowledge gained to their peers, thus creating a school environment that supports adolescent health. The long-term positive impact is expected to contribute to the achievement of the 3rd Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely ensuring healthy lives and well-being for all ages by 2030. The implementation of the program went smoothly with the support of the Puskesmas and the school, demonstrating the effectiveness of the peer education approach in improving adolescent health status.

Abstract

Kekebalan kelompok penting agar populasi terlindung dari virus COVID-19. Peningkatan imunitas pada ibu hamil sebagai kelompok yang rentan sangat dibutuhkan. Rendahnya cakupan vaksinasi COVID-19 pada ibu hamil di Kabupaten Agam (<0,001%) menjadi perhatian khusus. Objektif penelitian ini yaitu untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan penerimaan vaksin COVID-19 pada ibu hamil berdasarkan pendekatan Health Belief Model. Ini adalah observasional analitik studi dengan rancang bangun cross sectional. Dari 110 ibu hamil ditemukan 87,27% ibu hamil tidak bersedia atau tidak yakin untuk menerima vaksin COVID-19 saat hamil. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa persepsi dari manfaat vaksin (p<0,001), persepsi dari hambatan terhadap vaksin (p=0,047) dan pemicu untuk bertindak (p<0,001) berhubungan dengan penerimaan vaksin COVID-19 pada ibu hamil. Sedangkan persepsi kerentanan dan keparahan tidak memiliki hubungan dengan akseptabilitas vaksin COVID-19. Hasil regresi logistik didapatkan bahwa faktor paling dominan yang berhubungan dengan penerimaan vaksin COVID-19 pada ibu hamil adalah pemicu untuk bertindak (OR adjusted 23,41; IK 95% 5,75 – 95,32; p<0,001). Simpulan penelitian yaitu faktor paling dominan yang berhubungan dengan penerimaan vaksin COVID-19 pada ibu hamil di Kabupaten Agam adalah pemicu untuk bertindak. Pentingnya faktor pemicu untuk bertindak bagi ibu hamil dari tenaga kesehatan baik oleh bidan dan dokter serta dari pihak keluarga agar dapat merekomendasikan vaksin bagi mereka sehingga dapat meningkatkan penerimaan vaksin di kalangan ibu hamil.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Imunisasi pada anak balita dapat mencegah sekitar 2–3 juta kematian setiap tahunnya di seluruh dunia. Angka kematian anak secara global menurun dari 65 kematian per 1.000 kelahiran hidup pada tahun 1990 menjadi 29 per 1.000 pada tahun 2018. Meskipun bermanfaat, demam pasca imunisasi merupakan reaksi fisiologis yang umum akibat paparan antigen.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas kompres daun kembang sepatu dalam menurunkan suhu tubuh pada bayi yang mengalami demam setelah imunisasi DPT-HB-HIB-Hib. Metode: Penelitian eksperimental ini menggunakan desain pretest–posttest control group. Populasi penelitian adalah bayi berusia 2, 3, dan 4 bulan yang belum mendapatkan imunisasi DPT-HB-HIB. Teknik purposive sampling digunakan untuk memilih 12 partisipan, terdiri dari enam bayi pada kelompok intervensi (kompres daun kembang sepatu) dan enam bayi pada kelompok kontrol (pemberian parasetamol). Uji normalitas data dilakukan dengan uji Shapiro–Wilk, dan analisis data menggunakan paired t-test serta independent t-test. Hasil: Rata-rata suhu tubuh pada kelompok intervensi menurun dari 37,7°C (pretest) menjadi 36,5°C (posttest), sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol menurun dari 37,7°C menjadi 37,1°C. Analisis statistik menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan dalam penurunan suhu antara kedua kelompok (p = 0,005), dengan kelompok intervensi menunjukkan perbaikan yang lebih besar. Kesimpulan: Kompres daun kembang sepatu efektif dalam menurunkan suhu tubuh pada bayi dengan demam pasca imunisasi DPT-HB-HIB. Saran: Disarankan agar tenaga kesehatan memberikan edukasi kepada para ibu mengenai penggunaan kompres daun kembang sepatu sebagai terapi non-farmakologis yang aman dan sederhana dalam menangani demam ringan pasca imunisasi DPT-HB-Hib. Kata kunci : Daun Kembang Sepatu, Demam, DPT-HB-HIB-Hib, Kompres, Pasca Imunisasi ABSTRACT Background: Immunisation in children under five prevents approximately 2–3 million deaths annually worldwide. Global child mortality has declined from 65 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 29 per 1,000 in 2018. Despite its benefits, post-immunisation fever is a common physiological reaction to antigen exposure. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hibiscus leaf compresses in reducing body temperature in infants experiencing fever after DPT-HB-HIB immunisation. Methods: This experimental study used a pretest–posttest control group design. The population consisted of infants aged 2, 3, and 4 months who had not received DPT-HB-HIB immunisation. Purposive sampling was applied to select 12 participants: six in the intervention group (hibiscus leaf compress) and six in the control group (paracetamol administration). Data normality was tested using the Shapiro–Wilk test, and analysis was conducted using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. Results: The intervention group’s mean body temperature decreased from 37.7°C (pretest) to 36.5°C (posttest), while the control group’s mean temperature decreased from 37.7°C to 37.1°C. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in temperature reduction between groups (p = 0.005), with the intervention group showing greater improvement. Conclusion: Hibiscus leaf compresses are effective in lowering body temperature in infants with post-DPT-HB-HIB immunisation fever. Suggestion: It is recommended that healthcare providers educate mothers on the use of hibiscus leaf compresses as a safe and simple non-pharmacological therapy to manage mild fever following DPT-HB-Hib immunization. Keywords: Compress, DPT-HB-Hib, Fever, Hibiscus leaf, Post-immunization
