Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is 24.4%, which is higher than the WHO average of 20%. One of the efforts that can be made to reduce stunting rates is the early detection of stunting in infants. An interactive e-booklet media called Busita was developed to provide practical early detection tools. The aim was to develop an interactive electronic booklet that provides content from the Busita module. The research method used in this study was Research and Development (RD). Validity testing was conducted using a group of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), determined by the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI), and the USE Questionnaire for the media validated by five experts. The Busita module contains all essential materials inside, as proven by CVR and CVI values between 0 and 1, with an average of 0.8, which can be interpreted as very good and important. The interactive e-booklet Busita media obtained a feasibility assessment through expert validation with an average score of 84.09, covering four aspects of assessment: usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning, and satisfaction. This research also involved five cadres in a pilot study, and the results of the dependent t-test showed a p-value of 0.05. The module and the media have been shown to measure knowledge, attitude, and practice in the early detection of infant stunting.

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the main causes of death in women throughout the world. A total of 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 670,000 deaths worldwide. Early detection is very important to increase the success of treatment, one of which is breast self-examination (BSE). However, there are still many suburban age women who lack knowledge about BSE. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of health education about BSE on increasing knowledge of early breast cancer detection in suburban-age women in the Garung Community Health Center working area. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The  sample consisted of 5 women of childbearing age who were selected using the Accidental Sampling Technique. The research results showed that there was a significant increase in the level of knowledge of respondents after being given BSE health education. Before the intervention, only 20% of respondents had a good level of knowledge, while after the intervention, this figure increased to 100%. The Wilcoxon test shows a p value of 0.043 (<0.05), which indicates that there is a significant influence of health education on increasing respondents' knowledge. Health education about BSE has a positive effect on increasing knowledge of early detection of breast cancer in women of childbearing age.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that often presents without symptoms and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The prevalence of hypertension is significantly higher in women compared to men. Among women of childbearing age, hypertension increases the risk of complications during pregnancy, such as preeclampsia and bleeding. Elevated hematocrit levels are strongly associated with hypertension in women, contributing to increased vascular resistance and blood pressure. Efforts to manage hypertension include pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. In North Maluku, one of the traditional healing practices passed down through generations for lowering blood pressure involves the use of African leaves (Vernonia amygdalina). This study aims to analyze changes in hematocrit levels and blood pressure in women of childbearing age with hypertension before and after consuming 2.4 grams of African leaf tea (Vernonia amygdalina) for 14 days as a companion to antihypertensive medicine. This research employed a true experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group format. The population consisted of 97 hypertensive women of childbearing age in the service area of the Sanana Public Health Center, Sula Islands, North Maluku. A total of 32 participants were randomly selected. The intervention group received Amlodipine 5 mg as an antihypertensive medication along with 2.4 grams of African leaf tea consumed once daily for 14 days. Blood pressure measurements and venous blood sampling for hematocrit level analysis were conducted on days 8 and 15. Data were analyzed using the General Linear Model Repeated Measures (GLM-RM) approach. The findings demonstrated significant reductions in hematocrit levels and blood pressure among hypertensive women of childbearing age in the intervention group, with a p-value of 0.000. The administration of 2.4 grams of African leaf tea (Vernonia amygdalina) daily for 14 days, as a complementary therapy to antihypertensive medication, is effective in reducing hematocrit levels and blood pressure in women of childbearing age with hypertension.

Abstract

Anemia continues to be a major nutritional problem in Indonesia, especially among school children and adolescents, which in turn can inhibit growth, reduce learning achievement, and weaken endurance due to reduced concentration and can cause complications during pregnancy, so researchers innovate in preventing these nutritional problems by providing Red Spinach Tea (Amaranthus Tricolor L) and Blood Addition Tablets. Analyzing the effect of Red Spinach Tea (Amaranthus Tricolor L) dose of 2 gr plus 60 mg fe tablets given once a day for 14 days on hemoglobin, hematocrit and erythrocyte levels in adolescent girls with anemia. True Experiment research with pretest-postest design with control group, consisting of 2 groups. The population was female students at Poltekkes Kemenkes Medan with the age of 17-19 years with a total sample of 20 respondents per group. The intervention was given a dose of red spinach tea 2 g given once a day for 14 days and 60 mg blood supplement tablets once a day for 14 days. Bivariate test for paired groups with non-normally distributed data using the Wilcoxon test. Bivariate tests for anpaired groups of pre and post data are not normally distributed, then use the Mann-Whitney test. It was found that the average hemoglobin, hematocrit and erythrocytes in adolescent girls in the intervention group with the administration of Red Spinach Tea and Blood Addition Tablets were higher than the control group with the consumption of Blood Addition Tablets. There is an effect of giving Red Spinach Tea and Blood Addition Tablets on increasing hemoglobin, hematocrit and erythrocyte levels in anemic adolescent girls with p-value = 0,000 (<0.05). Red Spinach Tea (Amaranthus Tricolor L) can potentially be used as a companion to blood supplement tablets to improve anemia status in adolescent girls. Thus, Red Spinach Tea can be utilized as an alternative to complementary therapy in preventing anemia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Every month, adolescent girls experience painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea), which is caused by high levels of the hormone prostaglandin. High levels of prostaglandin cause uterine contractions during menstruation, resulting in pain. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea reaches 90%, with some experiencing severe pain that interferes with daily activities. Therefore, alternative treatments are needed to address the pain of dysmenorrhea. One such treatment is red ginger, as it contains gingerols, shogaols, and flavonoids, which can help relieve dysmenorrhea. Proving the effectiveness of red ginger nanoparticles in reducing the intensity of primary dysmenorrhea pain. This type of research is a true experiment with a pre-test and post-test with a control group design. The population in this study were adolescent girls experiencing primary dysmenorrhea and mild anemia in the Midwifery Department of Poltekkes Semarang. This study was conducted on two groups: the intervention group was given red ginger nanoparticles at a dose of 500 mg 3x2 daily for 14 days; and the intervention group was given red ginger nanoparticles at a dose of 500 mg 3x2 daily for 14 days. The results of the study showed that red ginger nanoparticles were significantly able to reduce the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain, with the results of the Mann Whitnay test statistical test obtaining a p value of 0.000. Red ginger nanoparticles are effective in reducing the intensity of primary dysmenorrhea pain and can be a complementary approach in obstetric practice to reduce dysmenorrhea symptoms. Keywords: Adolescent Girls, Primary Dysmenorrhea, Red Ginger Nanoparticles.
