Abstract

Background & Objective: Hemoglobin is a tetrametric protein that binds iron (Fe) compounds that have an important role in the body, namely transporting oxygen from the organs of respiration throughout the body, and exchanging it with carbon dioxide from peripheral tissues to be released through the organs of respiration. Hemoglobin levels can be influenced by several factors, one of which is moderate to heavy-intensity physical activity. This study aims to determine haemoglobin levels in construction workers. Method: This research is a descriptive study with a total sampling technique conducted in May 2023.  Respondents in this study were 35 construction workers. Sampling was carried out in Tanjungsari Village, Sukaresik District, Tasikmalaya Regency and the examination was carried out at the Hematology Laboratory of STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis. Measurement using the Cyanmethemoglobin method with the instrument used is a photometer. The examination results were processed and displayed in table format for narration. Result: This study found normal haemoglobin levels in 23 respondents (66%), and 12 respondents (34%) with abnormal or below-normal haemoglobin levels in construction workers. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the average results of haemoglobin levels in construction workers are normal. Future research is expected to research the relationship between working duration and haemoglobin in heavy workers.

Abstract

Background & Objectives: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a contagious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This infection can be cured through two phases of treatment, namely the intensive phase and the continuation phase. The intensive phase is carried out for two months while the continuation phase is carried out for four months. Tuberculosis treatment is carried out by administering Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (OAT) consisting of Rifampicin, Ethambutol, Isoniazid, and Pyrazinamide. To monitor the success of treatment and the healing process of tuberculosis, a hematology examination can be done, namely a lymphocyte cell count. In a body infected with bacteria, lymphocyte cells will decrease, after treatment is given, lymphocyte cells will increase or return to normal. The purpose of this study was to see the picture of the results of the lymphocyte count examination in patients with advanced phase pulmonary tuberculosis.Method: This research method is descriptive which was conducted on patients with advanced phase pulmonary tuberculosis at the Ciamis Regional General Hospital in May 2024 with a sample size of 30 respondents. The study used secondary data and primary data which were processed into tables and then explained in narrative. The research was conducted using a hematology analyzer. The research was conducted in May 2024 at the hematology laboratory of the Ciamis Regional General Hospital.Results: From this study obtained the results of 2 (7%) samples with lymphopenia results, as many as 25 (83%) samples with normal lymphocyte results and 3 (10%) samples with lymphocytosis results.Conclusion: The results of the lymphocyte count examination in patients with advanced phase pulmonary tuberculosis found an average normal lymphocyte count.

Abstract

Background & Objectives: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic disease that infects the lungs caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can affect hemoglobin levels to become anemic. Anemia occurs due to insufficient iron intake and the use of anti-tuberculosis drugs (OAT). Anemia is defined as reduced hemoglobin levels in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein that contains iron in red blood cells. This study aims to determine the description of hemoglobin levels in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in the intensive treatment stage at Ciamis Regional Hospital.Methods: This research method is descriptive. Data collection techniques were obtained from secondary data. Sampling was done by purposive sampling technique which recruited 31 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis to be used as respondents. Results: From this study, 19 (61%) samples with normal hemoglobin levels and 12 (39%) samples with low hemoglobin levels were obtained.Conclusion: Based on the results of the examination of hemoglobin levels in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in the intensive treatment stage at Ciamis Hospital, most of them have normal hemoglobin levels.

Abstract

Thalassemia disease remains incurable and causes many complications. People with thalassemia major require routine lifelong blood transfusions. A main risk of transfusion is infection with diseases transmitted through blood, which is among the most frequent causes of death in thalassemia patients. Transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs) include hepatitis B and hepatitis C. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B and C in thalassemia patients in Ciamis Regency and examine the relationship between transfusion frequency and these infections. The method was a cross-sectional study on thalassemia patients who received blood transfusions. The study included 191 thalassemia patients at Ciamis Hospital from January to June 2023. Purposive sampling selected 89 patients as the sample. Hepatitis B and C tests used immunochromatography. The prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus and Hepatitis B Virus infections in thalassemia patients in Ciamis Regency was 2.2% and 3.4%, respectively. The chi-square test showed a significant relationship (p < 0.05) between transfusion frequency and hepatitis B and C infection in thalassemia patients. This result suggests a risk of hepatitis B and C infection. Thalassemia patients are potentially susceptible to blood-borne Hepatitis C Virus and Hepatitis B Virus. These infections increase morbidity due to transfusion therapy. Routine inspection for Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus is essential for thalassemia patients. These results emphasize the need for strict screening protocols in blood transfusion processing.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) are key indicators of a country's level of public health. One of the leading causes of maternal death during pregnancy and childbirth is Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), which increases the risk of maternal mortality up to 20 times compared to pregnant women with adequate nutrition. In Baregbeg Health Center, Ciamis District, the prevalence of CED remains high, with 75 pregnant women affected in 2024, and a stunting prevalence of 4.75%. This situation is exacerbated by limited public knowledge about CED and stunting, as well as the lack of innovative nutritious food products. Objective: The purpose of this community service was to empower Posyandu cadres and local communities to improve maternal and child nutrition through education on CED and stunting prevention, and by developing an innovative local food product, keripik tapelur (crispy snacks made from tofu, tempeh, and eggs). Method: This public service activity was conducted in Dusun Jelat, Baregbeg Subdistrict, Ciamis Regency, through five stages: problem identification, program planning, implementation, evaluation, and documentation. Activities included educational sessions using e-leaflets and lectures, training for cadres and community members on making keripik tapelur, and evaluation of knowledge improvement and program sustainability. Result: Health education increased participants’ understanding of CED, stunting, and nutritious food processing. The community successfully produced keripik tapelur as a nutritious and practical complementary food. The product was well received and shows potential for further development as a community-based economic activity. Conclusion: Community empowerment through health education and innovative food processing can be an effective strategy to address CED and stunting. The development of keripik tapelur not only improves nutritional intake but also opens up local economic opportunities. This program supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly good health and well-being as well as economic growth.
