Abstract

Background: Sleep quality is influenced by numerous factors, including external factors, such as the sleep environment. One aspect of the sleep environment that can influence sleep is lighting. Light exposure emitted by lamps during sleep can impair sleep quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between lamp light during sleep and sleep quality in preclinical medical students.Methods: This cross-sectional observational analytic study was carried out on 386 preclinical medical students who were determined using the cluster sampling method. Data was collected in November 2022. Lamp light during sleep and sleep quality among students were measured using the Indonesian version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The association between lamp light and quality of sleep was analyzed by the Chi-Square test.Results: There were 26.68% of students who used lights when sleeping. Poor sleep quality was detected in 46.37% of students. The association between lamp light during sleep and quality of sleep yielded a p-value of 0.002.Conclusion: There is a significant association between lamp light during sleep and sleep quality in preclinical medical students. Thus, improving sleep quality in preclinical medical students may be achieved by modifying the lamp light during sleep.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety is a psychological condition characterized by excessive fear and worry that occurs continuously and is difficult to control. Anxiety play a significant role in causing dyspepsia through the Brain-Gut Axis mechanism. Although, there are many cases of anxiety and dyspepsia in Indonesia, there is still a lack of research on the relationship between anxiety and dyspepsia in Indonesia, especially in the clinic. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between anxiety and dyspepsia among outpatients at Atma Jaya Hospital.Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on outpatients at Atma Jaya Hospital to investigate the relationship between anxiety and dyspepsia. The demographic and patient characteristic data, including gender, age, highest level of education, and habits, such as eating spicy food, drinking coffee, alcohol consumption, smoking, and NSAID used were collected. The GAD-7 and SF-LDQ questionnaires, which have been validated in Indonesian, were used in this study. Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the data to find the relationship between anxiety and dyspepsia.Results: This study obtained 158 participants. The age range of participants who experienced dyspepsia the most is 19-44 years(77.53%). The majority of those who experienced dyspepsia are female (79.12%). The highest education level of the participants who experienced dyspepsia is a Master’s degree (100%). Participants who consumed spicy food accounted for 61.39% while 54.43% consumed coffee, 6.96% consumed alcohol, 12.66% smoked, and 1.90% used NSAIDs. Additionally, 105 participants (66.46%) experienced both anxiety and dyspepsia. The Spearman correlation test results showed a significant relationship between anxiety and dyspepsia (p-value = 0.000) and a moderate correlation (rs = 0.450). Conclusion: There is a moderate correlation between anxiety and dyspepsia. Keywords: Anxiety, Dyspepsia, GAD-7, Heartburn, SF-LDQ.

Abstract

The decline of olfactory function is an early indicator of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. An olfactory function assessment instrument using ten familiar scents with multiple-choice answers has been developed, but several items were inapplicable and had not been standardized. This study aimed to identify various scents that have not been standardized for the aging population with normal cognitive function. This research was a preliminary study with a descriptive cross-sectional approach conducted in Kalianyar village, Jakarta, involving 23 elderly participants with normal cognitive function. An instrument consisting of a list of scents was employed in two steps, with or without assistance. Initially, participants had one chance to smell and try to guess the type of scent given. If the scent was not guessed correctly, participants were then provided with multiple-choice options as a hint. Based on the assessment of twelve scents from the existing research, only nine scents were recognizable. Among them, coffee, lemongrass, oranges, eucalyptus, and menthol were the scents with the most correct answers without assistance. Additionally, there were four scents recognized with or without assistance, such as jasmine, lemon, aromatic ginger, and lime. This study found that only nine scents were familiar and had the potential to be utilized in the future as a screening tool for cognitive impairment.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. This is the first cross-sectional study in Indonesia that was conducted specifically to find a correlation between physical activity levels and food intake. 2. As lower physical activity was found to be associated with higher food intake, this study suggests that physical activity might be taken into consideration to manipulate one's food consumption Abstract One of the most crucial things a person can do to enhance the well-being of their body is to engage in regular physical activity. However, currently, there are still many people who have low physical activity levels. It is stated that habitual physical activity can affect the sensitivity of food intake regulation. This study aimed to determine the correlation between the total food intake and physical activity of preclinical students. This study was conducted using the cross-sectional method among preclinical students (n=238) in the classes of 2017, 2018, and 2019 at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia. Subjects with appetite-manipulating supplements, a diet program, a history of metabolic disease, a history of eating disorders, stress, or trauma were excluded from this study. The physical activity level was evaluated using the Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire (BPAQ), while the total food intake was evaluated using the three-day food record method. The statistical test applied in this study was the Spearman test, with a significance of p<0.05. There were 22.3% of respondents with a low physical activity level, and there were 9.7% of respondents with a total food intake higher than recommended. The statistical analysis showed a significant negative correlation between physical activity levels and total food intake (p=0.008). In conclusion, there is an association between students' physical activity levels and their total food intake.
