Abstract

Introduction: Noise exposure is a problem in children due to the vulnerability of the growing auditory system and its impact on hearing and quality of life during early developmental phases, which might influence a child's future path. Children have different external ear anatomy than adults, with narrower ear canals that absorb higher-frequency sounds. Hearing loss can be minimized by implementing educational programs, regulations, and laws to increase awareness and proactively limit damage from noise. This article will describe the noise awareness empowerment programs for parents of Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal (ABA) Kentungan Kindergarten in Yogyakarta. Methods: The community empowerment program collaborator is Pimpinan Ranting Aisyiyah (PRA) Condongcatur Barat, and it includes approximately 24 parents of ABA Kentungan Kindergarten students. Results: The program's results indicated that the average score of participants' knowledge before the program started was 51.6 out of 100. The average score increased to 82.9 after the program. Conclusion: The community empowerment team recommends that all parents understand the importance of protecting children's environment from excessive noise exposure. Furthermore, teachers can help by providing a suitable environment and encouraging safer listening habits with Personal Listening Devices (PLDs). The government should initiate campaigns to increase public awareness of excessive noise exposure and regulate the standard volume of toys and sleep machines for newborns and children.

Abstract

Hemorrhoids are the third most frequent gastrointestinal condition. The symptoms of hemorrhoid illness may include pain, itching, bleeding, soiling, and swelling. This study aimed to examine the impact of treatment on hemorrhoid patients’ quality of life. 36 patients with hemorrhoids between 18 to 60 took part in this longitudinal study before and after treatment between April and August 2022. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) before and after treatment is 0.037<0.051. Lower quality of life in terms of essential health is indicated by the health scale modified for hemorrhoid disease symptom score (HSHD) since the score before treatment is lower than the score after treatment. The p-value thus shows a significant impact both before and after treatment. The research on hemorrhoid patients showed that the patient’s quality of life increased after treatment.

Abstract

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a typical chronic condition commonly affecting the upper airway. Allergic rhinitis is marked by nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, pruritus, sneezing, and postnasal drip syndrome (PND), which includes eye itching and erythema. This study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of the allergic rhinitis questionnaire. The study employed a cross-sectional design. The study included patients with allergic rhinitis who were 18 or older and visited the otorhinolaryngology clinic between January and February 2024. The questionnaire was generated and disseminated using a Google form, and the statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 22.0. The correlation coefficient (r) between all questions on the knowledge dimension was consistently high, ranging from 0.302 to 0.828. The items on the attitude dimension had a strong positive association with the total score, as seen by the high correlation coefficients (all r = 0.962). The practice dimension also exhibited high correlation coefficients, ranging from 0.273 to 0.810 in total score. The questionnaire's validity and reliability have been established, confirming that the Indonesian version is recommended for future studies.

Abstract

Circumcision is a common surgical operation that entails excising the foreskin from the penis, primarily to improve hygiene and prevent the accumulation of smegma. This practice is widely observed worldwide, especially within Muslim and Jewish populations. However, despite its advantages, circumcision may lead to several complications, such as excessive bleeding and infections. A healthy 13-year-old male presented for circumcision due to grade 2 phimosis, seeking to improve his personal hygiene. The procedure was executed using a combination of diode laser technology and cyanoacrylate skin glue, which minimized tissue trauma and provided effective wound closure. When circumcision is performed utilizing advanced methods such as diode laser and cyanoacrylate glue, it is regarded as a safe and effective intervention. This approach offers considerable benefits in terms of recovery duration, cosmetic results, and overall patient comfort, while also maintaining low rates of complications.

Abstract

Abstrak: Gangguan pendengaran merupakan masalah kesehatan global yang signifikan, termasuk di Indonesia yang menempati peringkat keempat tertinggi di Asia Tenggara. Penumpukan serumen merupakan penyebab umum gangguan pendengaran tipe konduktif, yang sering kali dipicu oleh kebiasaan membersihkan telinga dengan cotton buds. Meskipun berisiko menimbulkan cedera, infeksi, dan gangguan pendengaran, kebiasaan ini masih banyak dilakukan oleh masyarakat. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kesadaran anggota Ranting “Aisyiyah Condongcatur Barat” sebagai mitra pengabdian masyarakat tentang pentingnya perawatan telinga yang aman dan benar. Metode penelitian yang digunakan mencakup diskusi kelompok terfokus (FGD), edukasi melalui media Power Point, serta evaluasi pengetahuan peserta menggunakan 10 pertanyaan dalam pre-test dan post-test. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan yang signifikan, dengan rata-rata skor post-test lebih tinggi sebesar 0,8 poin dibandingkan pre-test. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa edukasi kesehatan memiliki efektivitas dalam membentuk persepsi dan perilaku positif masyarakat terkait perawatan telinga. Program ini diharapkan dapat menjadi model edukasi promotif dan preventif yang berkelanjutan berbasis komunitas dalam upaya menjaga kesehatan telinga.Abstract: Hearing loss is a significant global health issue, with Indonesia ranking fourth highest in Southeast Asia. The habit of cleaning the ears with cotton buds often triggers earwax buildup, a common cause of conductive hearing loss. The community continues to widely practice this habit despite the risk of injury, infection, and hearing loss. The purpose of this community service activity is to increase awareness of members of the “Aisyiyah Condongcatur Barat” Branch as community service partners about the importance of safe and proper ear care. The research methods used include focus group discussion (FGD), education through PowerPoint media, and evaluation of participant knowledge using 10 questions in the pre- and post-tests. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge after the educational intervention, with post-test scores averaging 0.8 points higher than pre-test scores. These findings indicate that health education is effective in shaping positive perceptions and behaviours towards ear care. This program is expected to serve as a sustainable, community-based model for promotive and preventive ear health education.
