Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of strawberry extract with100%, 75%, 50% and 25% concentration in cleaning the extrinsic stain on the teeth. The sample of the study was 32 permanent anterior teeth that were already extracted, consisting of each 16 maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth and all samples have an extrinsic stain. The samples were randomly divided into 4 groups, each group consisting of 8 teeth was treated by applying the strawberry extract with the concentrations of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%. After 5 minutes, the teeth were rinsed and dried. The study was conducted in vitro for five consecutive days with twice treatment daily. Intensity Score and Extension Score of the stain were measured using the Lobene Stain Index. All samples experienced a decrease in both the Intensity and Extension Scores, the largest decrease in Intensity and Extension Score were obtained from strawberry extracts with concentration of 100%. The significant decrease in the Intensity Score occurs on the third day and continues until the fourth and fifth days, while the significant decrease in the Extention Score occurs on the fourth day and continues until the fifth day. The four group of the strawberry extract concentrations gave a decrease in the score, which distinguishes the treatment frequency. The higher the concentration, the frequency would be less in lowering stain score, whereas at low concentration the decrease of score require more frequency.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the level of skills of nursing students in term of promote safety, physiology integrity, psychosocial integrity, and health promotion in pediatric care in a selected health institute in Indonesia. The study made used of descriptive correlational research design. The participants of the study were nursing students and their clinical instructors. Universal sampling technique was used which encompassed the total twenty-three (23) nursing students and two (2) clinical instructors who directly supervised the students in the clinical area. Frequency, percentage statistical treatment, weighted mean, T-test, and Pearson-r were used to process the result of the study. Nursing students are moderately competent in area of skills in rendering pediatric care. There were significant differences between the ratings of the nursing students level of skills in pediatric care in all of variables as rated by nursing students themselves and by their clinical instructors. And there was no significant relationship between the nursing students’ age and gender and their level of skills in pediatric care. On the contrary, there was a significant relationship between the nursing students’ GPA and their level of skill in pediatric care. The proposed pediatric care clinical focus can be adopted to enhance nursing students’ level of skills in pediatric care. Keywords: Pediatric care, Nursing student, Skill’s clinical focus

Abstract

Postoperative pain is the most common problem in hospital. One of the non-pharmacological actions to reduce postoperative pain is cold compresses. A cold compress is one of the distraction techniques that is often used in health services to overcome the problem of postoperative pain. This study aimed to determine the scale of pain before and after cold compress in the vertebrae (cervical) in postoperative patients. Method: This study was a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental method to determine the pain scale of postoperative patients before and after cold compress (cervical). The sample size were 16 postoperative patients in the KRMT Wongsonegoro Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia. The results of this study indicates that the average pain scale of postoperative patients before cold compressions on the vertebrae (cervical) was 5.44. While the pain scale of postoperative patients after cold compress on the vertebrae (cervical) was 3.25. There was difference in the mean pain scale of postoperative patients before and after cold compress on the vertebrae (cervical) with p-value = 0.000. The cold compress effectively reduces postoperative pain because with a cold compress on the cervical cause transmission of pain is closed so the cortex cerebral cannot receive signals because the pain has been blocked with cold stimulation that reaches the brain first. This is related to gate control theory where the stimulation of the skin in the form of cold compress in the cervical area which is located adjacent to the brain and rich in blood vessels, the activation of transmission of larger and faster A-beta sensory nerve fibers, thus closing the "gate" and lowering pain transmission through small diameter C fibers.

Abstract

Averrhoa bilimbi L., popularly known as belimbing wuluh, is a common plant used as traditional medicine and cooking ingredients in Indonesia. Averrhoa bilimbi fruit contains many active substances as antibacterial such as tannin, formic acid, flavonoids, saponins, peroxides, and triterpenoids. Streptococcus pyogenes is a pathogenic bacteria that can cause respiratory infections. This study was carried out to investigate the inhibitory activity of Averrhoa bilimbi L. fruit extract at various concentrations on the growth of Streptococcus pyogenes. This study was a true experimental with post test only control design. The inhibitory activity was assessed by the KirbyBauer’s disc diffusion method with four different extract concentrations (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%), 96% EtOH as negative control, and Amoxicillin antibiotic as positif control. The EtOH extract showed the mean diameter of inhibition zone of 20% extract was 11.43 mm (strong), 40% extract was 19.13 mm (strong), 60% extract was 24.58 mm (very strong), 80% extract was 30.99 mm (very strong), and the negative control (96% EtOH) was 0.00 mm. Least Significant Difference test showed there were significant different of inhibition zone in each extract concentrations of Averrhoa bilimbi L. against Streptococcus pyogenes with the strongest inhibitory activity is 80% extract concentration.

Abstract

Menarche is a special feature before maturity in a woman. The main problem that often arises when teenagers experience menarche is unpreparedness in facing these reproductive changes. This study aims to analyze the effect of the use of audio-visual and flyer media in order to reduce adolescent anxiety in dealing with menarche. The design of this experimental quasy study was a pre-test and post-test. The number of respondents involved in the study was 27 students of elementary school. The independent variables studied were the use of audio-visual media and flyers in health education about menarche; while the dependent variable was the level of anxiety in dealing with menarche. Data about the level of anxiety was collected through filling in the questionnaire, then analyzed using the T test. The results of data analysis showed a difference in the level of adolescent anxiety between before and after the intervention, with p-value = 0.000. Audio visual media could clarify a problem and its handling, through an interactive learning process, the diversity of learning activities could be improved. Media flyers could provide complete and detailed information, even about things that were not given orally. This media was designed simply in accordance with the ability of elementary school students. Educators should use audio visual and flyers, especially audio visuals, in order to provide knowledge about menarche, so that female students are better prepared to face menarche.
