Abstract

Background: Anatomy is a fundamental component of medical education, playing a pivotal role in understanding the structure and function of the human body. Cadaver-based anatomy learning remains widely used in many medical faculties; meanwhile, plastination as an alternative method, offering efficiency and practicality. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cadaver and plastination learning media in improving anatomical understanding among first-year medical students.Methods: This was a cross-sectional quantitative study with a pretest-posttest control group design conducted in November-December 2023. The study included 69 first-semester medical students from the Universitas Pertahanan, Republic of Indonesia who had not previously received musculoskeletal anatomy lectures. Participants were divided into cadaver and plastination groups. A questionnaire was distributed before and after the anatomy class. Data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, and paired sample t-test.Results: Both cadaver and plastination groups showed a significant increase in post-test scores (p<0.05), indicating that each method effectively improved students’ anatomical understanding. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups (p-value=0.253), suggesting comparable effectiveness between cadaveric and plastinated teaching media.Conclusions: Cadaveric and plastinated learning media are equally effective in improving anatomical knowledge among first-semester medical students. A thorough understanding of human anatomy is essential not only for clinical competency but also for advancing knowledge related to wellness, healthy aging, and the management of degenerative diseases.

Abstract

The 2022 WHO report reveals that 81% of adolescents and 27.5% of adults are insufficiently active, with Indonesia's rate rising from 26.1% in 2013 to 33.5% in 2018. This study aims the link between physical activity and cognitive function among 43 staff members at the Indonesian Defense University (UNHAN RI) using a cross-sectional design and consecutive sampling. Data were collected through the Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-INA) via interviews and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) from December 2023 to January 2024. Chi-square and Fisher tests (p < 0.05) analyzed the relationships between physical activity, cognitive function, gender, and age. Results showed low physical activity led to a 44.4% decline in cognitive function, while moderate and high activity showed declines of 20% and 47.1%, respectively. However, no significant relationships were found between physical activity and cognitive function, age, or gender (p > 0.05). Keywords:          Cognitive Function, IPAQ, MoCA, Physical Activity   Abstrak Laporan WHO tahun 2022 menyoroti bahwa 81% remaja dan 27,5% orang dewasa kurang aktif, dengan angka di Indonesia meningkat dari 26,1% pada tahun 2013 menjadi 33,5% pada tahun 2018. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan fungsi kognitif pada 43 staf di Indonesia Universitas Pertahanan (UNHAN RI) dengan menggunakan desain cross-sectional dan konsekutif sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui Montreal Cognitive Assessment versi Indonesia (MoCA-INA) dengan wawancara untuk mengisi kuesioner dan International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) dengan mengisi kuisioner dari Desember 2023 hingga Januari 2024. Uji chi-square dan Fisher (p <0,05) menganalisis hubungan antara aktivitas fisik, kognitif fungsi, jenis kelamin, dan usia. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas fisik yang rendah menyebabkan penurunan fungsi kognitif sebesar 44,4%, sedangkan aktivitas sedang dan tinggi menunjukkan penurunan masing-masing sebesar 20% dan 47,1%. Namun tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara aktivitas fisik dengan fungsi kognitif, usia, atau jenis kelamin (p > 0,05). Kata Kunci:         fungsi kognitif, IPAQ, MoCA, aktivitas fisik
