Abstract

Background: Dental caries is an oral health problem that is of global concern, where dental caries is a dental disease characterized by damage to the tooth surface and if left untreated, the infection will spread to the pulp. The impact is changes in tooth structure, pain and infection and death of the pulp. There are 57 students out of 83 new undergraduate students in 2023 at the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business experiencing dental caries, this case has always been a common dental problem, but it must be reduced to a very low number of cases. Objective: to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes and oral health behavior and the rate of dental caries in new students at the Faculty of Economics and Islamic Business, UIN North Sumatra, Medan. Methodology: The research method is observational analytics with a cross sectional approach, a sample of 287 respondents, data collection methods using observation and questionnaires. Results: there is a relationship between knowledge and the number of dental caries (? = 0.000), there is a relationship between attitudes and the number of dental caries (? = 0.000), and there is a relationship between behavior and the number of dental caries (? = 0.000). Discussion: behavior is the most dominant factor influencing the rate of dental caries ? = 0.002, OR value 26.903, and C.I 95% (3.250 – 222.684). Conclusion: Faculty to create a joint policy with university clinics in the form of an oral health program. Students are expected to know, behave well, and apply oral health behavior.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia, contributing to neonatal morbidity, mortality, and long-term developmental challenges. Although numerous studies have explored LBW, evidence on maternal risk factors in low-resource settings particularly within independent midwife practices remains scarce. This study examined the associations between maternal age, parity, antenatal care (ANC) visits, history of anemia, and gestational weight gain with LBW incidence in Deli Tua Sub-District, Deli Serdang Regency. A case-control design was employed from December 2024 to March 2025, involving 95 postpartum mothers (35 cases, 60 controls) selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires (Content Validity Index = 0.82; Cronbach's α = 0.85) and maternal health records, and analyzed using Chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression (SPSS version 22). Multivariate analysis identified maternal age at risk (<25 or >35 years) as the sole significant predictor of LBW (OR = 6.69; 95% CI = 3.21-25.22; p = 0.006). Parity (OR = 2.76; p = 0.077), ANC visits (OR = 1.22; p = 0.797), history of anemia (OR = 0.57; p = 0.421), and gestational weight gain (OR = 1.20; p = 0.773) were not significantly associated with LBW. The model demonstrated acceptable fit (Hosmer Lemeshow p = 0.49; Nagelkerke R² = 0.29). Maternal age emerged as the most influential determinant of LBW in this population. These findings underscore the importance of targeted surveillance for high-risk age groups and the enhancement of promotive and preventive strategies including improved ANC service quality, nutritional counseling, and family engagement in maternal care to reduce LBW incidence in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

Tuberculosis merupakan penyakit infeksi paru yang disebabkan oleh infeksi Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pemeriksaan mikroskopis BTA merupakan pemeriksaan untuk menemukan adanya basil tahan asam dalam sputum dan pemeriksaan TCM dapat mendeteksi adanya kuman Mycobacterium tuberculosis dengan pemeriksaan molekuler dan juga mendeteksi resistensi M. tuberculosis terhadap rifampisin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sensitivitas dan spesifisitas hasil pemeriksaan mikroskopis sputum BTA terhadap tes cepat molekuler (TCM) pada suspek TB Paru. Metode penelitian ini adalah survey deskriptif analitik dengan rancangan penelitian cross sectional, dilaksanakan di RSUD Bangkinang, penelitian dilakukan selama 6 bulan pada tahun 2023. Sampel yg digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh populasi yang merupakan suspek TB Paru di RSUD Bangkinang. Dari hasil penelitian terhadap 100 sampel, didapatkan hasil positif pada pemeriksaan TCM sebanyak 15, hasil negatif pada pemeriksaan TCM sebanyak 85. Sedangkan pada pemeriksaan mikroskopis BTA diperoleh hasil positif sebanyak 88 dan hasil negatif pada pemeriksaan mikroskopis BTA sebanyak 12. Dari uji diagnostik didapat kan nilai sensitivitas 80% dan nilai spesifisitas 100% pada pemeriksaan mikroskopis BTA terhadap TCM
