Abstract

Anemia is a common health problem experienced by adolescent girls, especially due to blood loss during menstruation which causes a decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) levels. Hemoglobin is an important protein in red blood cells that functions to transport oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues. Lack of hemoglobin can disrupt body function and potentially cause the risk of ongoing mental complications. This study aims to identify differences in hemoglobin (Hb) levels before (pre) and after (post) menstruation among female students of the Medical Laboratory Technology Study Program at Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang. The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study consisted of 30 female students who were taken using random sampling techniques. Hemoglobin levels were measured twice, namely on the first day of menstruation and after the last day of menstruation, using a POCT (Point of Care Testing) tool that provides fast and practical results. Data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon test because the data obtained were not normally distributed. The results of the study showed a significant decrease in hemoglobin levels after menstruation. Before menstruation, the average Hb level was recorded at 12,847 g/dL, while after menstruation it decreased to 11,273 g/dL. The Wilcoxon test results showed a significance value of 0,000 (p < 0,05), which indicated a significant difference between hemoglobin levels before and after menstruation.

Abstract

Enterobiasis is an infectious disease caused by Oxyuris vermicularis (Enterobius vermicularis) or pinworms and is a non-STH (non-Soil Transmitted Helminth) intestinal worm that can move from one individual to another without the need for transmission through the soil and is widespread in children and toddlers. In Indonesia, the prevalence of Enterobiasis is quite high, this is because Indonesia is a country with a tropical climate, high temperature, humidity, social economic factors and poor sanitation, making it suitable for the development of pinworms. Children with poor hygiene behavior (PHBS), such as rarely changing underwear, and not washing hands after the toilet are at risk of contracting pinworms. Children who live around the coast still have a lack of knowledge of the importance of maintaining personal hygiene and also a lack of knowledge about the dangers of helminthiasis and the examination and treatment of helminthiasis. The method used in this study is descriptive. Respondents in this study included 24 people with the number of female respondents at 54% and men at 46%. The results of Enterobius vermicularis examination in children aged 3-9 years living in the coastal area of Lasiana beach obtained 21% of children positive for enterobiasis and 79% of children negative for Enterobiasis. The level of parental knowledge, environmental sanitation conditions, and children's personal hygiene is pretty good

Abstract

Background: Lack of knowledge about diseases, suboptimal quality of services, low awareness of risk factors, and low compliance with prevention measures are problems that arise in efforts to control Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in various developing countries worldwide, including Indonesia. Perceptions that are not in accordance with health science can worsen the risk factors for non-communicable diseases, which are currently a major public health problem Objective: to identify which values and cultures should be preserved, negotiated, and even changed. Methods:study is descriptive-analytical, with a cross-sectional design, to analyze community cultural values as a means of controlling non-communicable diseases. This study was conducted in Wologai village, with 79 respondents. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 software with Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient . Results: Community perceptions and behaviors were significantly associated with efforts to control non-communicable disease risk factors (p-value <0.05), whereas traditional medicine, stigma and health, and community ritual and spiritual practices were not (p-value >0.05). Conclusion: Public perception and behavior contribute to NCD risk factor control but are not the primary determinants. Therefore, attention is needed to consider other factors that may also influence the success of NCD risk factor control in the community.
