Abstract

The increased use of digital devices in online learning poses health risks, one of which is Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Nursing students are among the vulnerable groups due to high visual load and long learning duration. This study aims to describe the symptoms of CVS in nursing students during online learning and evaluate the behaviour of using digital devices as a risk factor. The study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 399 nursing students from various universities in Indonesia participated through a total sampling technique. Data were collected online using a questionnaire based on the American Optometric Association guidelines, including demographic information, online learning behaviour, and CVS symptoms. The analysis was done descriptively with frequency distribution and percentage. The results showed that the majority of respondents experienced CVS symptoms in the mild to moderate category, such as headache (47.9% mild; 37.8% moderate), burning eyes (42% mild), and blurred vision (39.6% mild). Most students (62.9%) used smartphones and had been studying online for more than six months (94.9%). In conclusion, CVS is a common problem among nursing students in online learning. Educational and preventive interventions are needed to maintain students' visual health.

Abstract

Background: Peppermint oil has a distinctive refreshing aroma as well as analgesic, antispasmodic, and calming effects, making it suitable for use in aromatherapy. This study aims to develop formulations and evaluate the organoleptic properties of peppermint essential oil-based aromatherapy preparations, which are known to have therapeutic benefits in reducing stress, increasing alertness, and providing a relaxing effect. Method: The research method used a laboratory experimental approach with two formulations of different concentrations of peppermint essential oil, menthol, and olive oil. Organoleptic tests involved visual observation of shape, color, aroma, and sensation on the skin, along with pH measurements and preference tests on 40 respondents. Results: The results showed differences in organoleptic properties between the two formulations. The first formula was brown in color with a strong aroma, while the second formula was yellowish brown with a more fragrant and softer aroma, which was preferred by respondents. Both formulations gave a warm sensation on the skin, while pH measurements showed a range between 5 and 6, which is safe for the skin as per the pH standard of topical products (4.5-6.5). In the favorability test, the second formulation received higher preference from respondents, especially in terms of aroma and feel on the skin. Conclusion: this peppermint oil based aromatherapy formulation showed positive results in organoleptic aspects and pH safety, so it has the potential as a natural aromatherapy product that can be well received by consumers. This research opens up opportunities for further development regarding the stability and therapeutic potential of essential oil combinations in aromatherapy.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of forest honey on fibroblast proliferation and migration under hyperglycemic conditions in vitro. The research method involved culturing primary fibroblasts in high-glucose DMEM (25 mM) and dividing them into five groups: standard control (standard medium), hyperglycemia control (high-glucose medium without treatment), 3% honey, 1.5% honey, and 0.75% honey. Proliferation was assessed by counting live cells (Trypan Blue staining/hemocytometer) at 24, 48, and 72 hours. Migration was measured using a scratch assay (0, 24, 48, 72 hours) and analyzed with ImageJ. The Shapiro–Wilk test was used for normality; data were analyzed with ANOVA followed by LSD or Kruskal–Wallis (p<0.05). Results showed that hyperglycemia decreased proliferation compared to the standard control. Treatment with 1.5% honey and 0.75% honey consistently increased proliferation compared to the hyperglycemic control at all time points (p<0.05), while 3% honey showed a relatively lower increase. The standard control group achieved 100% closure at 72 hours in the migration variable. The honey groups (0.75–3%) showed an increase compared to the hyperglycemic control, but the difference was not significant at 24–48 hours and approached significance at 72 hours (p=0.057). In conclusion, forest honey at a concentration of 1.5% can increase fibroblast proliferation in a hyperglycemic environment. The effect on migration requires confirmation with osmolality controls and more sensitive endpoints. These findings provide a biological basis for developing honey-based diabetic wound care adjuvants focusing on dose optimization and formulation standardization.

Abstract

Shortness of breath and excessive sputum production are signs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Excess sputum production compromises airway patency. This study investigates the application of chest physiotherapy in the treatment of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), focusing on its impact on airway clearance and respiratory function. Chest physiotherapy includes techniques such as percussion, vibration, postural drainage, and breathing exercises designed to loosen and mobilize secretions, thereby improving airway clearance and enhancing respiratory function. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in Anggrek Room of Muntilan Hospital, involving two COPD patients for six days. Data collection included patient assessment forms, effective cough implementation checklists, and observation formats for major and minor problems related to ineffective airway clearance. Results: the results showed that after three days of chest physiotherapy, one respondent (Respondent 1) showed minimal improvement in secretion clearance, while the other patient (Respondent 2) experienced effective secretion clearance. Conclusion: This study concludes that although chest physiotherapy is effective in improving airway and secretion clearance, continued research is essential to optimize its application and improve long-term patient outcomes.
