Abstract

Background: Medical students face a high learning load, especially in the biomedical block, which is the basis of medical science. Learning achievement on this block becomes important as it forms the basis for the next blocks. However, evaluations at the University of Pattimura Medical Faculty showed a decline in learning effectiveness in 2022/2023. Aims: This study aims to determine the correlation of learning strategies and final scores of biomedical blocks among medical students at Pattimura University. Methods: The research method used was descriptive-analytic with a quantitative approach and cross-sectional design. The study sample comprised 199 2023 biomedical block students from a population of 209 with a 95% response rate. Data was collected using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and biology block 1 and 2 final grades. Data was analyzed using the Pearson correlation test at a significance threshold of α = 0.05. Results: All learning strategy components also showed significant positive correlations with biomedical block final scores (p<0.05; r=0.249 - 0.432).  Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a positive correlation between learning strategies and the final scores of biomedical block, indicating that the better the learning strategy used by students, the higher the final scores obtained in biomedical block. Medical faculty may consider holding seminars on learning strategies for students.

Abstract

Streptococcus mutans is a component of the normal oral flora that can become a primary pathogen, leading to dental caries and tooth decay. Tooth decay and dental caries are the most common oral health issues worldwide. Treatment of dental caries and tooth decay represents a crucial effort in addressing global health concerns. One alternative treatment the community used to treat dental caries and tooth decay is thorn spinach (Amaranthus spinosus). Thorn spinach leaves contain bioactive compounds with potential antibacterial properties, including flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of thorn spinach leaf extract at concentrations of 10%, 20%, 40%, 80%, and 100% against S. mutans. This study employed a descriptive observational design, utilizing a laboratory-based experimental approach. The leaves were extracted using the maceration technique, employing methanol and ethyl acetate as the solvents. The results showed that these extracts can inhibit the growth of S. mutans. The inhibition zones were observed for the methanol extract at concentrations of 10% (6.84 ± 5.36), 20% (12.95 ± 0.85), 40% (8.45 ± 1.00), 80% (14.66 ± 4.17), and 100% (4.74 ± 2.88). For the ethyl acetate extract, the mean inhibition zones were at concentrations of 10% (0.08 ± 0.15), 20% (8.71 ± 4.04), 40% (11.99 ± 2.44), 80% (14.79 ± 5.13), and 100% (15.00 ± 3.09). These findings indicated that, among the two types of solvents utilized, ethyl acetate was more effective than methanol, demonstrating the highest inhibitory activity with moderate to strong inhibitory categories.

Abstract

Abstrak: Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) adalah suatu konsep yang mendorong individu untuk mengadopsi gaya hidup yang sehat, bersih, dan teratur. PHBS mencakup berbagai aspek, seperti kebersihan diri, lingkungan, serta pola makan dan aktivitas fisik. Anak pada usia sekolah adalah kelompok yang rentan, karena pada usia tersebut sangat rendan dan mudah terpapar dengan masalah kesehatan. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah memberikan edukasi dan praktik PHBS agar peserta didik mudah diarahkan, dibina, dan ditanamkan nilai-nilai serta kebiasaan yang baik, sehingga terjadi peningkatan kesadaran berperilaku yang baik atau softskill dan kemampuan mempraktikkan atau hardskill PHBS di lingkungan sekolah dan tempat tinggal. Metode yang dilakukan berupa Service Learning (SL) yang terbagi atas dua tahap yaitu sosialisasi dan praktik. Adapun mitra dari kegiatan PkM ini berjumlah 107 orang yang terdiri dari guru dan peserta didik kelas 1 sampai kelas 6. Kegiatan evaluasi menggunakan metode tanya jawab dengan memberikan 5 pertanyaan terkait topik PHBS yang telah disampaikan pada peserta didik. Hasil kegiatan ini menunjukan bahwa peserta didik dapat memahami pengertian, manfaat, dampak positif dan negatif serta mampu mempraktikkan PHBS dalam kegiatan setiap hari. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi didapatkan bahwa sebanyak 86 peserta didik atau sebanyak 80% peserta didik mampu untuk menjawab pertanyaan dengan baik dan benar. Pada kegiatan ini seluruh perserta didik antusias dan mengikuti kegiatan sampai selesai.Abstract: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a conceptual framework that promotes the adoption of a salubrious, hygienic, and consistent lifestyle among individuals. PHBS encompasses various domains, including personal hygiene, environmental considerations, dietary habits, and physical activity. School-age children represent a critical demographic due to their heightened susceptibility to health issues during this developmental stage. This study aimed to provide PHBS education and practice to facilitate the guidance, nurturing, and instillation of positive values and habits in students. Additionally, it sought to enhance awareness of appropriate behavior or soft skills and improve the ability to implement or develop hard skills in PHBS within the school environment and residential settings. The methodology employed is Service Learning (SL), which is structured into two distinct phases: socialization and practical application. The participants in this Community Service activity totaled 107 individuals, comprising educators and students from grades 1 through 6. Evaluation activities used the question-and-answer method, asking five questions related to the topic of PHBS that was delivered to students. The results of this activity show that students can understand the meaning, benefits, and positive and negative impacts of PHBS and practice it in daily routines. Based on the evaluation results, it was found that 86 students or as many as 80% of students were able to answer questions properly and correctly. Throughout this activity, all the students were enthusiastic and participated in this activity until they were completed.
