Abstract

The hands are one of the media for spreading pathogenic germs, which by washing hands are expected to reduce or kill these germs.  Under certain conditions, running water sources and soap are not available.  Hand sanitizer is an antiseptic that is used to clean the hands if no water and soap are found. The content of substances that are antiseptic, such as betel leaf extract in hand sanitizer is reported to reduce the number of germs. The goal of the study was to compare the total number of germs on the palms after using a commercial hand sanitizer that contained and did not contain betel leaf extract. This type of research uses comparative analytical observational studies using a cross-sectional approach.  The sample used in this study was as many as 18 health workers at LabKesDa Surabaya who used commercial hand sanitizer products with and without betel leaf extract. Supporting data on the study was a questionnaire given to respondents. The results of the swab of the palm and between the fingers of the respondents after using the hand sanitizer were tested by Mann Whitney and obtained a significance value of 0.000 < a= 0.05, meaning that there is a difference in the total number of germs on the palm and between fingers that use hand sanitizer with and without betel leaf extract. The use of a commercial hand sanitizer with betel leaf extract is more effective in lowering the totalnumber of germs on the palm and between the fingersKeywords : Commercial hand sanitizer, betel leaf extract, total number of germs, palms

Abstract

The increase in the elderly population poses challenges to health services in Indonesia, particularly regarding degenerative diseases and malnutrition due to reduced physical activity and dietary changes. Supporting the Asta Cita program for elderly assistance, it is essential to monitor elderly health to maintain wellness and functionality in old age. This study used descriptive analytical observation on 25 women aged 55 to 75 years. Results showed that hemoglobin levels declined below the normal range of 12–15 g/dL. Serum iron levels and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme activity were measured using a spectrophotometer to assess anemia potential, while immune status was evaluated through vitamin D levels by immunofluorescence. Statistical analysis with SPSS software using Spearman’s correlation test revealed no significant relationships between hemoglobin and serum iron (p = 0.520), hemoglobin and LDH (p = 0.615), or serum iron with LDH (p = 0.543) and vitamin D (p = 0.138). Pearson correlation showed no association between hemoglobin and vitamin D (p = 0.885). These findings indicate weak or no correlation among these parameters in this sample. Factors such as small sample size and measurement limitations suggest that using more precise biomarkers, like Ferritin levels, could improve future research. This study contributes to understanding Prevention of Iron Deficiency Anemia Through Blood Immunochemical Detection in Improving the Quality of Life of Elderly—a valuable approach to elderly health monitoring.
