Abstract

Background: School-aged children are particularly vulnerable to soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infections due to frequent exposure to contaminated soil during play and poor personal hygiene practices. Although games have been widely used as educational tools in health promotion, there is limited research on the effectiveness of board games specifically designed to prevent STH infections in children.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a board game-based educational intervention in enhancing knowledge of STH among elementary school students.Methods: Analytical experimental design using a pre-test and post-test intervention approach without a control group was employed. The subjects of this study were elementary school students in grades 3 to 6 who met specific criteria. A total of 94 students participated. Knowledge was assessed using questionnaires. The intervention involved small-group sessions (4–6 students per group) using a custom-designed educational board game about STH. The collected data were analyzed using a dependent t-test, while multivariate ordinal regression was employed for multivariate analysis. Results: The average test score improved from 0.60 (± 0.15) to 0.74 (± 0.14) post-intervention, representing a significant 14% increase in knowledge (p = 0.00). Age was not a significant predictor of post-test performance (β = 0.310; p = 0.429). Male students (β = 1.068; p = 0.013) and those in grade 4 (β = 2.031; p = 0.036; OR = 7.62, 95% CI: 1.15–50.56) were significantly more likely to achieve higher post-test scores.Conclusion: Board game-based education effectively improved knowledge about soil-transmitted helminth infection among elementary school students. This study offers novel evidence supporting the use of board games for helminthiasis prevention.

Abstract

Introduction: Miscarriage is a reflection of the low quality of health in pregnant women. The incidence of miscarriage in the world accounts for 23 million (15%) of the 130 million births per year and up to 80% of miscarriages occur in the first trimester of pregnancy. Miscarriage will affect a woman's social, physical, and psychological. The complexity of the negative impact of miscarriage makes it necessary to pay special attention. Biomarker examination is needed to more accurately identify pregnancies at risk of miscarriage before the appearance of clinical symptoms. The use of fetal fibronectin (fFN) levels have been used as a marker of unexpected labor and as evidence of premature rupture of the fetal membranes. Normally fFN can be detected in cervical and vaginal secretions at <20 weeks gestation. The presence of fFN at >22 weeks gestation indicates disruption of the uteroplacental surface. Therefore, if screening for fibronectin levels using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test can be carried out in the first trimester of pregnancy, there is a high possibility that miscarriage can be prevented.Method: The type of research is analytical observational research with a cross-sectional research design. The stored samples were examined for fibronectin levels using the ELISA test, which included 21 blood serum samples from normal pregnancy patients in the first trimester and 21 miscarriage samples.Results: The results of the ELISA test produced an average first-trimester normal pregnancy fibronectin level of 118.8 ± 18.4 ng/mL while the miscarriage fibronectin level was 208.2 ± 152.0 ng/mL. Data analysis using the Mann-Whitney test obtained a p-value = 0.138, which means there was no significant difference in fibronectin levels between normal pregnancy in the first trimester and miscarriage.Conclusion: This study concludes that fibronectin levels are not specific biomarkers in detecting miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Abstract

Worm infections caused by soil-transmitted helminths (STH) occur almost throughout the world, especially in countries with tropical climates. In terms of prevalence, Indonesia ranks third in cases of worm infections, the majority of which infect school-aged children in coastal areas. This activity was carried out for students at SD IT Al Marhamah Kampung Dalam in Padang Pariaman Regency by providing education about preventing soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections using board game media. The activity aims to increase students' knowledge regarding soil transmitted helminth infections and their prevention. This activity uses a descriptive observational approach, with the target covering students in grades 3 to 6 at SD IT Al Marhamah. The activity was carried out on February 11, 2023, at SD IT Al Marhamah Padang Pariaman with board game media to educate school children about worm infections. Activities consist of licensing, implementation of service, and evaluation. In total, 94 SD IT Al Marhamah Padang Pariaman students participated in service activities. In terms of distribution, there were 39 men and 55 women. Before the extension activities, a pretest was carried out. Then, education was carried out and continued with a post-test to assess students' knowledge of STH infections. The research results showed that there was an increase in the level of knowledge before and after the intervention. It was concluded that the final results of the activity showed that the increase in the level of knowledge of SD IT Al Marhamah students regarding soil transmitted helminth infections after being given counseling using the board game method showed that the intervention was successful. The students who took part in the activity were satisfied with the extension activity and gave a positive response.
