Abstract

Degenerative conditions related to cholesterol, blood sugar, and uric acid tend to increase with age and lifestyle changes, particularly among office workers in the productive age group. This study investigates the association between age and levels of cholesterol, blood sugar, and uric acid among employees of the Bengkulu Ministry of Health Polytechnic. A descriptive analytical design was employed using medical check-up data from 203 respondents. Data normality was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and correlations were analyzed using Pearson's method. The findings revealed significant correlations between age and total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, blood sugar, and uric acid levels, although most correlations were weak in strength. These results suggest that age contributes to elevated biochemical markers associated with degenerative diseases, highlighting the importance of routine health monitoring among office workers as a strategy for early prevention. Keywords: Cholesterol, blood sugar, uric acid, degenerative diseases, office workers

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is a crucial strategy for improving infant health and preventing stunting. However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding remains low across various regions in Indonesia. The success of EBF is influenced by several factors, particularly maternal knowledge and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy (BSE). Primiparous mothers are more vulnerable to breastfeeding challenges due to limited experience and low self-confidence. ASI Smart Game is a game-based health promotion tool designed to improve knowledge and BSE among primiparous mothers. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ASI Smart Game on knowledge and BSE in primiparous mothers. A pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The sample consisted of 33 primiparous mothers with infants aged 0–6 months in the working area of Kandang Public Health Center, selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included an EBF knowledge questionnaire and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale–Short Form (BSES-SF). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results indicated an increase in knowledge and BSE scores after the ASI Smart Game intervention (p = 0.001). ASI Smart Game was effective in enhancing both knowledge and BSE among primiparous mothers.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a crucial effort in preventing disease and improving quality of life. Elementary school children are vulnerable to various diseases due to a lack of awareness regarding personal hygiene and health practices. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of 5th-grade students at MIN 1 Bengkulu City through PHBS education. The methods included pretests, lectures using PowerPoint and demonstrations, and posttests to assess knowledge improvement. Data analysis using the Chi-Square test showed a significant increase in knowledge (p=0.001), indicating a meaningful difference before and after education. These findings demonstrate that PHBS education effectively improves students’ understanding of maintaining cleanliness and personal health. This activity is expected to foster sustainable healthy behaviors in school and family environments
