Abstract

Background: Failure in the process of uterine involution can result in bleeding if not treated immediately. Provision of pineapple (Ananas Commosus (L). Merr) juice can be administered as a medicinal plant therapy to prevent sub involution of the uterus and is considered to speed up the recovery process of the uterine involution. Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of pineapple (Ananas Commosus (L). Merr) juice to decrease fundal height in primigravida mothers during postpartum period. Design: This was a quasi-experimental study with non-equivalent control group, conducted in the working area of the Health Center (Puskesmas) of Jekulo Kudus Indonesia on 1-30 December 2016. There were 28 respondents selected using consecutive sampling technique, consisted of 14 respondents in the intervention group and 14 respondents in the control group. Data were analyzed using independent t-test and paired t-test. Results: Findings showed that there was a mean difference of the height of the uterine fundus after given pineapple juice in the intervention group with mean score 13.80 in pretest and 5.80 in posttest, while there was also a decrease in fundal height in the control group with mean score 13.35 in pretest and 7.01 in posttest. The mean of fundal height in the intervention group was 8.15 cm and in the control group was 6.09 cm in 7 days. There was significant difference of the average of the decrease of fundal height between both groups with p-value (0.000). Conclusions: Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr) juice had a significant effect in the decrease of fundal height. It is suggested that pineapple juice can be used as herbal or medicinal plants, which can be used during postpartum period that is processed naturally without involving the use of chemical and incorporated into the procedure standard of midwives in postnatal care.

Abstract

Background: Limited choice of contraception for males is one of the reasons why their participation is low. Secang wood is considered as an alternative contraception that has an influence in the morphology and number of spermatozoa and reversible in nature. Objective: To examine the effect of extracts of secang wood in the morphology of spermatozoa, sperm count and reversible process in male mice. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with randomized posttest only control group design. There were 32 male rats (Mus Muscullus L) recruited in this study. Four groups were involved, namely: 1) ethanol group, 2) chloroform fraction, 3) water fraction, and 4) control group. Each group consisted of 8 mice. There were two treatments in this study: 1) each group was given secang extract with dose 50 mg/25 gram of weight, 2) the observation period was 10 days after the treatment. Four mice in each group was dissected to see the morphology and sperm count while the other four mice were allowed to live and maintained until 20 days to see reversible morphology and sperm count. Results: The extract of secang wood at a dose of 50mg/25gram weight could increase the abnormal sperm morphology and lower sperm count. There was a significant difference between the treatment group and control group with p-value <0.05. The extract was also reversible on the morphology and sperm count. Conclusion: There was a significant effect of secang wood extract on sperm morphology, the number of spermatozoa, and reversible process. This study provides the insight of scientific information about the effect of the secang extracts on the number and morphology of spermatozoa, and it could be used as a basis for further research in human in the development of natural contraceptive on a reversible man.

Abstract

Background: When people face health problems, their life satisfaction levels and social relations could be ruined. When it comes to an eerie, deadly and chronic disease like cancer, the individual is much more likely to be affected by it. Objective: This descriptive study aims to identify quality of life and level of social support and the affecting factors in cancer patients. Methods: The sample included 170 patients who applied to internal diseases, radiation oncology, thorax diseases clinics and chemotherapy polyclinic in a university hospital in Turkey between March and August, 2005, who met the research criteria, and who volunteered to participate in the study. The sample represented 20 % of the target population. Data were collected through SF-36 Quality of Life Scale and Multidimensional Scale of perceived social support. Results: The patients’ global quality of life mean score was found 38.67 ± 13.64, and mean score for the perceived social support was found 59.19 ± 17.5. Global quality of life score was higher in those who underwent an operation and who received ambulatory health care. Although global quality of life was not influenced by the gender variable, male patients’ level of well-being was found to be higher. Perceived social support total score was found to be higher in those who knew about their disease. Family support was found to be higher in those who were married and who lived in town; it was found to be low in those who had low socio-economic level and who received inpatient treatment. Friend support was found to be high in those who knew about their disease. Conclusion: There was a linear relationship between perceived social support and quality of life. It is recommended that more studies with wider groups of participants would shed more light to the issue of identifying quality of life, social support level and the relationships between them in cancer patients.
