Abstract

Background: The first stage of labor is a tiring moment for mothers, which may cause exhaustion, dehydration, risk of infection, uterine atony, and postpartum hemorrhage. Hypnobirthing is considered effective to speed up early labor process. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of hypnobirthing on the progress of the latent phase of labor. Methods: This study was a quasi-experiment with posttest only control group design. Thirty-two primigravida mothers in the latent phase of labor were selected using purposive sampling, with 16 assigned in the experiment group and the control group. The progress of labor was measured by four indicators recorded in partograph, namely frequency and duration of uterine contraction, cervical dilatation, and descent of the fetal head. Independent t-test was used for data analysis. Results: There was a significant difference in the frequency of uterine contraction (p=0.001), duration of contraction (p=0.001), cervical dilatation (p=0.007), and descent of the fetal head (p=0.001) between the experiment group and the control group. Conclusion: Hypnobirthing technique is significant in accelerating the progress of the latent phase of labor in primigravida mothers.

Abstract

Background: With an increasing demand of high quality of health services, challenges are addressed to all health providers to improve their skills in providing services to clients. Given that preventive dentistry clinical practice has not been satisfying, providing media as students’ guidelines is necessary. Objective: The study aims to explain the influence of multimedia use in order to improve Pit Fissure Sealant (PFS) practical skills of dental nursing students. Methods: It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest and post-test control group design. Population of the study was selected from dental nursing students in Yogyakarta. A hundred sample was drawn purposively from the population and distributed equally to two groups. The first group was exposed by PFS practice video whilst the second group as control was exposed only by the guidebook. Results: Initially, students in the control group have better PFS practical score compared to their counterpart in the treatment group. Nevertheless, after the exposure of different media, students in the treatment group demonstrated a better post-test score on their PFS practical skills. The statistical analysis certifies that there was a significant difference in the mean score of PFS practical skills of the students before and after the treatment. Conclusion: Video as a new media is able to improve the students’ motivation in learning than any traditional media such as books. It should be noted however, both printed media (guidebooks) and video only provides one-way communication. Therefore, designing an interactive media using video, which the user can be the sender, not only the receiver, can be considered for further research.

Abstract

Background: Perineal rupture occurs almost in all the first labor and not infrequently in the next labor. Complex perineal wounds are at risk for non-healing and infection. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of bird’s nest extract on perineal wound healing on rattus norvegicus. Methods: This was a randomized posttest only group design conducted in October 2016 at Animal Laboratory Unit of Diponegoro University, Semarang, Indonesia. There were 30 samples recruited in this study, divided into three groups: 1) the control group (with povidone iodine 10% solution), 2) the first treatment group with a bird’s nest 50% cream, and 3) the second treatment group with a bird’s nest 70% cream. The Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, Approximation (REEDA) scale was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency distribution, and one-way ANOVA. Results: There were statistically significant mean differences between the three groups with p-value 0.000 (< 0.05). The time of the wound healing was 5-6 days for povidone iodine 10% group, 4-5 days for bird’s nest 50% group, and 3 days for bird’s nest 70% group. The degree of perineal wound density in the bird’s nest 70% group (0.37) was also better than the bird’s nest 50% group (0.13) and povidone iodine 10% group (0.02). Conclusion: Bird’s nest has a significant effect on wound healing process. Findings indicated that the bird’s nest 70% extract was very effective to accelerate wound healing than bird’s nest 50% extract and povidone iodine 10%.

Abstract

Background: Obesity that occurs in adolescents (age >18 years) shows a significant increase, from 12% in 2007 to 13% in 2010 and 19% in 2019 in males, and from 13% to 28% in 2013 in females. Objective: To analyze the prediction model of obesity among teachers in senior high school in Kendari, Indonesia. Methods: This was a prediction cross-sectional study. There were 250 high school teachers were recruited from 12 senior high schools using a purposive sampling. The instruments used were questionnaires (food frequency, consumption recall, and activities recall questionnaire), Seca weight scale, anthropometry microtoice, meter, computer program, and stationery. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square. Results: Findings showed that there was a significant correlation between age group (p = 0.05), knowledge (p= 0.02), stress (p= 0.05) and diet (p= 0.013). The prediction factor of obesity among high school teachers was that teachers with an upper age (age> 45 years) were likely to be obese 2.64 times than teachers at a young age (age <45 years). If teachers experienced stress, they would suffer from obesity 2.17 times compared with teachers with no stress. Conclusion: Factors associated with obesity in high school teachers in Kendari Indonesia were age, knowledge, stress and dietary factors. Factors that were not related with obesity were attitudes about nutrition, activity and smoking habits. The highest predictors of obesity were age and stress.
