Abstract

An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body causes a condition called oxidative stress, which can be caused by several factors, one of which is psychological stress. Various studies have shown that medical students tend to experience psychological stress, especially in first year. Psychological stress tends to increase SO conditions due to increased ROS and free radicals in the body. Zinc can reduce ROS and free radicals through several mechanisms. This study aims to determine the effect of zinc supplementation on MDA levels in first year students of the Faculty of Medicine. This study used a true experimental analytic study with pretest-posttest control group design. The sample amounted to 22 people in intervention group and 22 people in control group. This study used TBARS method to measure MDA levels. The results showed a decrease in MDA levels in intervention group (p=0.000), while in the control group there was an increase in MDA levels (p=0.006). In addition, lower MDA levels were found in intervention group compared to control group measured after 10 days (p=0.000). This study concluded that there was an effect of Zinc supplementation on MDA levels in first year students of the Faculty of Medicine, Pattimura University.

Abstract

Surgical mask is a medical mask used to protect against particles carried through droplets, air, viruses, or bacteria. Prolonged used of masks raises concern because rebreathing masks. This study aims to see whether there is an effect between the duration of wearing a surgical mask on end-tidal carbon dioxide. This research is experimental research. The subjects of this study were 36 people who were taken by simple random sampling technique and divided into the treatment group (wearing a mask for 120 minutes) and the control group (not wearing a mask for 120 minutes). The result of the study at 0 and 30 minutes were analyzed using Mann-Whitney statistical test and at 60, 90, and 120 minutes were analyzed using Independent T-test statistical test. The result at 0 and 30 minutes showed a p value = 0,673 and 0,563 (p>0.05), at 60 minutes showed a p value = 0,867 (p>0.05) in the control group and p value = 0,868 (p>0.05) in the treatment group, at 90 minutes showed a p value = 0,733 (p>0.05) both in the control and treatment group, at 120 minutes showed a p value = 0,956 (p>0.05) both in the control and treatment group, which means that there is no effect between the duration of wearing a surgical mask on end-tidal carbon dioxide in Pattimura University Medical Faculty students in 2021
