Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnant women is a serious health issue with a high prevalence of 61.8% in Garut Regency, Indonesia. Effective and safe interventions are needed to prevent pregnancy complications. Wellness shots made from beetroot and red guava, local food-based non-pharmacological treatments, have potential to increase hemoglobin levels by enhancing iron absorption. Purpose: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of beetroot and red guava wellness shots in improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with moderate anemia at Samarang Health Center, Garut Regency. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was conducted involving 44 third-trimester pregnant women with hemoglobin levels between 7.0 and 9.9 g/dL. Participants were divided into two intervention groups, each receiving wellness shots for 14 consecutive days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention using a digital hemoglobin meter. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, paired t-test, and independent t-test, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Both groups showed significant increases in hemoglobin levels. The beetroot group’s mean hemoglobin increased from 8.69 to 9.56 g/dL, while the red guava group’s mean increased from 8.66 to 9.26 g/dL (p < 0.001). Comparison of post-intervention hemoglobin levels revealed a significantly greater increase in the beetroot group compared to the red guava group (p = 0.009). Conclusion: Wellness shots made from beetroot and red guava effectively increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with moderate anemia, with beetroot showing superior effectiveness.

In Indonesia, 75% of women have experienced vaginal discharge at least once, and half have experienced vaginal discharge twice or more. Vaginal discharge is a classic problem for most women. Ironically, most women do not know about vaginal discharge and the causes of vaginal discharge. If not handled properly, vaginal discharge can be fatal. Infertility and ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the womb) can be one of the consequences of vaginal discharge. The early symptoms of uterine cancer usually start with vaginal discharge. This study's betel leaf (Piper betel Linn) belongs to the Peiperaceae family. The part used is the leaves. Betel leaf contains essential oils with compounds that have strong antibacterial properties, referred to as "kavikol" and "kavibetol". Anti-bacterial is also found in boiled betel in water. Betel leaf in traditional medicine is usually used for first aid in first-line treatment in daily medicine, especially as an antiseptic. This activity aims to increase young women's knowledge about the dangers of vaginal discharge and provide intervention in betel leaf boiled water to reduce physiological vaginal discharge. The activity results showed benefits for adolescents as evidenced by the decrease in the incidence of physiological vaginal discharge after being given counseling and betel leaf water.

Abstract

Rapid tests for initial screening of COVID-19 are urgently needed given the very fast spread of the disease. However, WHO emphasized that this examination does not establish a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 and is not recommended for triaging patients with suspected COVID-19, the rapid test is only an initial screening; Real-Time Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) must still confirm the results. Meanwhile, triage of patients uses a rapid risk assessment from the Ministry of Health which refers to the WHO Rapid Risk Assessment of Acute Public Health guidelines. In order to assist the government's program in preventing the spread of Covid-19, it is necessary to carry out health education about the behavior of preventing Covid-19 and early detection of Covid-19 by testing rapid antibodies at the National University. The results of the dedication activity showed that the participants were enthusiastic about listening to the material provided and participating in the inspection activities. Participants admitted that this inspection activity provided great benefits for breaking the chain of the spread of the coronavirus in the National University environment.
