Abstract

At this time many flavored drinks are traded in the market. Flavored drinks or what are often referred to as soft drinks are the terms used to describe the types of drinks that are sold in special packaging so that they can be consumed directly without having to be processed first. At this time the dyes that are often used in processed foods or beverages are divided into natural dyes and synthetic dyes. Synthetic dyes are generally made from chemicals. Sometimes entrepreneurs who want to make big profits use non-food grade dyes to give color to food or drinks. Rhodamine B textile dye is a synthetic dye in the form of a green or reddish-purple crystalline powder at high concentrations, while at low concentrations it is light in color and belongs to the basic xanthene group. Rhodamine B is made from raw materials of meta-diethylaminophenol and phthalic anhydride. These two raw materials are not edible but are only used for dyeing textiles, paints, paper, or clothing. These substances are often misused as food coloring and cosmetics in many countries. Foods found to contain Rhodamine B included crackers (58%), shrimp paste (51%), and snacks (42%). Rhodamin B is found in confectionery, syrup, sweets, dawet, porridge, smoked fish and cendol. Red-flavoured drinks that are traded in the Lubuk Pakam area contain Rhodamine B dye.

Abstract

Menstruation in adolescents is one of the indicators of biological maturity that occurs during puberty and signifies a woman’s readiness for pregnancy. Women’s reproductive health is influenced by various factors, including nutritional status and body weight. In addition, women often experience various menstrual-related problems, one of which is menstrual pain or dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is a common complaint among adolescent girls during menstruation and has the potential to interfere with daily activities. The use of natural ingredients, such as red ginger, is considered a relatively safe and effective alternative therapy for reducing pain without causing side effects associated with chemical medications.  This study aimed to analyze the effect of administering red ginger decoction on reducing the level of dysmenorrhea pain among female adolescents at Nusantara Private Senior High School, Lubuk Pakam. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest approach involving 20 adolescent female respondents who experienced dysmenorrhea. Pain intensity was measured using a pain scale before and after the administration of red ginger decoction over several menstrual cycles. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to determine significant differences.  The results of the Wilcoxon test indicated a significant reduction in pain (p = 0.000), with the mean pain score decreasing from 2.60 to 1.70 after the intervention. A total of 40% of respondents reported no pain after receiving the red ginger decoction. In conclusion, the administration of red ginger decoction has been proven effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls and can be considered a safe, practical, and natural alternative therapy.

Abstract

Optimal health is an essential foundation of human development and is strongly influenced by nutritional status. Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life has been scientifically proven to reduce infant morbidity and mortality, improve nutritional status, and support cognitive development and the immune system of children. However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia remains suboptimal due to various social, cultural, economic, and structural factors.  This study employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to explore the experiences of mothers and husbands in practicing exclusive breastfeeding. A total of 13 informants were involved, consisting of breastfeeding mothers, husbands, and healthcare providers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), limited observation, and documentation.  The findings showed that most mothers understood exclusive breastfeeding as providing only breast milk without any additional food or drink for the first six months of life. Husbands generally had a more general understanding of the concept and guidelines of exclusive breastfeeding. Mothers perceived exclusive breastfeeding as an experience that not only benefits infant health but also fosters emotional bonding, satisfaction, and pride in fulfilling their maternal role. In contrast, husbands tended to emphasize the health benefits for the infant and the economic savings for the family. Family and environmental influences also contributed to strengthening the success of exclusive breastfeeding practices.  Husband support was identified as a key factor and included emotional, instrumental, informational, and appreciation-based support. Emotional support was demonstrated through empathy and encouragement, instrumental support through assistance with household tasks and infant care, informational support through efforts to seek appropriate information, and appreciation support through recognition of the mother’s efforts. All forms of support contributed to increasing mothers’ sense of security, confidence, and resilience in practicing exclusive breastfeeding. Overall, husband support plays an important role in the success of exclusive breastfeeding by strengthening mothers emotionally, practically, and socially.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a menstrual pain condition commonly experienced by adolescent girls, often interfering with daily activities both in school and social environments. The high prevalence of dysmenorrhea makes it one of the reproductive health issues that requires attention, particularly among adolescents. Management of dysmenorrhea can be carried out through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. One of the non-pharmacological methods that is simple, inexpensive, and easy to apply is warm water compress therapy. The mechanism of warm compresses involves vasodilation of blood vessels, improved blood circulation, muscle relaxation, and reduction of pain perception, making it effective in alleviating dysmenorrhea symptoms. This study aimed to determine the effect of warm water compresses on the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls at Nusantara Private Senior High School, Lubuk Pakam. The research design was pre-experimental using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 19 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant reduction in pain intensity after the intervention, with Z = -3.873 and p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05). The mean pain scale decreased from 2.68 to 1.89. It can be concluded that warm water compress therapy is effective in reducing the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls. These findings suggest that warm compresses may serve as a recommended non-pharmacological nursing intervention to alleviate menstrual pain in adolescents.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy is still a common health problem and can have serious impacts on the health of both the mother and the fetus. Iron deficiency is the main cause, thus effective prevention and management efforts are needed, either through supplementation or the intake of nutritious foods rich in iron. One natural food ingredient that has the potential to increase hemoglobin levels is red beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of red bean preparations in increasing hemoglobin in pregnant women experiencing anemia at the Mars Clinic. The study used a Quasi-Experimental method with a One Group Pre Test Post Test approach. By using a total sampling technique, 17 respondents were obtained. The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test showed a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), which means there is a significant effect of giving red bean porridge on the increase of hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. It is recommended that healthcare workers, especially midwives, promote the prevention and management of anemia by utilizing foods such as red beans.
