Abstract

The psychological condition of women who experience pregnancy tends to be unstable. Their mood changes quickly, their emotions and perceptions change, and they are sensitive and tend to behave excessively. Women who are not psychologically ready may experience unhappiness during pregnancy. The psychological impact of pregnant women is sensitive, and women become more sensitive, irritable, and irritable. This condition will affect the mother's anxiety during the pregnancy process. This study aims to analyze the effect of counseling based on a humanistic approach in antenatal care on the anxiety of pregnant women. This research method uses a quasi-experimental design with a control group. The results of the research are the Mann-Whitney U test, which shows a sig value (2-tailed) = 0.000 (<0.005), which means there is an influence of counseling based on a humanitarian approach on the anxiety level of pregnant women. It is hoped that the conclusions of this research can help solve the problems that pregnant women need in carrying out their pregnancy. The service methods produced in this research can be developed into teaching materials, especially midwifery care during pregnancy, to improve services for pregnant women. pregnancy and efforts to reduce maternal and child mortality.

Abstract

Constipation is one of the 60% of gastrointestinal discomforts in pregnancy. WHO (2018) states that 11-38% of pregnancies will experience constipation. It takes laxative substances that stimulate peristaltic movement of the intestinal wall, such as aloe vera. However, it contains a teratogenic component for pregnant women, namely aloin. The study aims to determine the effect of aloe vera tea as a treatment for constipation and test fetal weight growth's safety during organogenesis. Methods: This research is an experimental study, a laboratory pre-clinical study using a pre-post test randomized control group design in-vivo method. Against 24 pregnant mice constipated by induced oral extract of gambier 1 ml. Results: The control group intervention (Dulcolax 0.1 ml/20grBB) had a higher mean frequency than the aloe vera tea treatment. The results of the ANOVA test of 0.013<0.05 showed a significant difference between the four groups after five days. The category of the fastest onset of action of laxatives was shown in K3 (aloe vera tea dose of 0.2gr/20grBB) at 03:08 minutes compared to the control group (Dulcolax 0.1gr/20grBB) at 04:35 minutes. The ANOVA test of 0.000<0.05 showed a significant difference between K1, K2, K3 and K4. Based on the weight of the fetuses from the four groups was not significantly different (0.764>0.05). Conclusion: Dulcolax 0.1 ml and aloe vera tea 0.2gr/20grBB effectively increased the frequency of defecation in mice. Aloe vera tea 0.2gr/20grBB was very effective, with the fastest onset of laxative action compared to the control group. Aloe vera tea affects fetal growth in the form of a decrease in body weight at the highest dose of 0.4gr/20grBB. Suggestion: A dose of 0.2 grams of aloe vera tea is recommended to be converted to a human dose as an effective measure for treating constipation in pregnant women.

Abstract

Parking attendants are susceptible to health problems due to their ongoing exposure to vehicle-related air pollution. A significant contaminant called carbon monoxide (CO) binds to hemoglobin 200 times more strongly than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and causing a decrease in blood oxygen saturation. This study aims to investigate how CO exposure affects the oxygen saturation levels of parking attendants at Surabaya's Kapasan Market. The study uses a cross-sectional methodology and quantitative analysis. Thirteen people made up the study's sample size, including all parking attendants at Kapasan Market in Surabaya. The concentration of CO gas, the workday length, and the oxygen saturation levels were the variables examined. The Spearman's rank correlation test was used to examine the data. The average CO gas level was 3.53 PPM, the average workday for the attendants was 7.5 hours, and the average oxygen saturation was 95%, according to the findings. CO levels and oxygen saturation showed a strong correlation (p = 0.010), as did work time and oxygen saturation (p = 0.005). It is advised that parking attendants take frequent breaks from their duties to breathe in fresh air, take vitamins and supplements, eat a healthy diet, and engage in little physical activity.

Abstract

Hypertension is a severe medical condition and is the leading cause of premature death worldwide, significantly increasing the risk of heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases. However, not all people with hypertension are aware of their disease, and it is only discovered after complications occur. Therefore, hypertension must be prevented and controlled. Prevention and control of hypertension aims to prevent and reduce the probability of morbidity, complications, and death. Hypertension can be prevented by controlling risky behaviors. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for hypertension in coastal communities in Tarakan City. This research is quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design. The study sampled people in the working area of the Amal Beach Health Centre, Tarakan City, and met the sample criteria obtained using a purposive sampling technique. The data obtained will be processed univariate and bivariate. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between obesity (p-value 0.001), family history (p-value 0.013), and sports activity (p-value 0.009) with the incidence of hypertension. Smoking habits did not show a significant relationship (p-value 0.230) with the incidence of hypertension. This study concludes that obesity, family history, and exercise activity are risk factors for the incidence of hypertension in coastal areas of Tarakan City. Therefore, it is hoped that health promotion efforts in the form of scheduled counseling on risk factors for hypertension and preventive efforts in the form of early detection so that people can prevent or control hypertension to avoid complications.

Abstract

Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is a growth hormone mediator that acts as a growth-promoting factor in the growth process and is also an indicator of the adaptive immune system. Children who experience stunting will experience obstacles to growth and cognitive and motor development, affecting their productivity as adults. This research aims to determine IGF-1 levels and their relationship with stunted children's nutritional status. The research method used was observational, with a cross-sectional research design. The population of stunted children in the Tegalwangi locus area, Cirebon Regency, a sample of children aged 24-60 months who met the inclusion criteria of not being disabled and not being sick, was 50 children. The research began with parents filling in informed consent. Continue to fill in data on date of birth, measure height and weight, take @1ml of the child's blood, and analyze IGF-1 using the ELISA method. The research results were that the average IGF-1 level for men was 16,812 ± 5,164 ng/ml and for women 13,810 ± 5,111 ng/ml. Average IGF-1 levels aged 24-36 months were 14,777 ± 4,742 ng/ml, 36–48 months 17,050 ± 4,280 ng/ml, and 48–60 months 15,214 ± 6,248 ng/ml. Data analysis using the Pearson correlation test obtained a value of p=0.871 based on age, p=0.047 based on gender, p=0.643 based on Height for age, and p=0.245 based on Weight for age (95% CI). The conclusion is that there is a relationship between the age of a stunted child and IGF-1 levels, and there is no relationship with nutritional status. All stunted children have IGF-1 values ​​below the standard value for normal children based on the literature, namely ≥ 28.54 ng/ml.

Abstract

Hypertension is still one of the biggest health problems in the world, including in Indonesia. The high prevalence rate has encouraged a lot of research to find antihypertensive drugs and other alternative healing methods, especially those using natural ingredients. One plant that has antihypertensive activity is the roselle flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.). This research aimed to observe the inhibitory activity of roselle flower extract on the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), determine the potential toxicity of roselle flower extract on shrimp larvae (Artemia salina Leach), and determine the phytochemical content in it. Roselle flower simplicia was extracted using the maceration method using a 70% ethanol solvent. The extract obtained was then tested for its inhibitory activity against ACE photometrically using a microplate reader. The observed inhibitory activity was calculated in terms of IC50. The toxicity of the extract was determined by the brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT) to see how toxic the roselle flower extract was to shrimp larvae. The secondary metabolite content in the extract was determined qualitatively and quantitatively. The research results showed that the extraction yield obtained was 32,63%. The IC50 value of roselle flower extract against ACE was 295,36 ppm. The toxicity test on shrimp larvae showed that the LC50 value obtained was 334,02 ppm. The results of qualitative phytochemical tests show that roselle flower extract contained flavonoids, quinones, and steroids. The flavonoids and phenolic content in roselle flower extract were 0,42% and 0,91%, respectively. Based on these results, the phytochemical content of roselle flower extract inhibited ACE activity, and its compounds can be used as ingredients for developing hypertension drugs

Abstract

The condition of toddlers having less length or height based on age as a result of factors such as socio-economic conditions, maternal nutrition during pregnancy, and lack of nutritional intake in the first 1000 days of life is called stunting. Nutritional intake factors include failure to initiate breastfeeding, failure to provide exclusive breast milk, and the early weaning process. The research aims to determine the relationship between a history of early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of stunting in children under two years aged 6-24 months. The research was conducted in the work area of ​​the Lere Community Health Center, Palu City. This type of research is observation with a case-control approach with chi-square analysis. The sample in this study was 19 stunted and 38 under two years old who were not stunted. Data is presented in table form accompanied by a narrative. The results of the research showed that from 57 samples, the percentage of stunting was 33.3%, those under two years old who received early initiation of breastfeeding was 47.4%, and those who received exclusive breast milk were 56.1%. The statistical test results show a significant relationship between a history of early and exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 6-24 months (p < 0.05) with an OR of 9.143 and 6.873, respectively. It is recommended that pregnant women initiate early breastfeeding immediately after giving birth and commit to providing exclusive breastfeeding to maintain the child's growth and development.

Abstract

Long-term exposure to Ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation causes increased skin darkening owing to a reaction to oxidative stress leading to elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS induces signal transduction and stimulates the transcription factor NF-kβ, an inflammatory mediator. Butterfly flower extract has high antioxidant levels, inhibiting ROS production and reducing inflammatory conditions, hindering MMP, preventing fibroblast cell apoptosis, and inhibiting collagen degradation. However, the role of butterfly pea flowers on IL-10 and GPx gene levels in melasma skin due to UV-B exposure is unclear. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of applying Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Extract Gel on the level of the IL-10 and GPx genes in Wistar rat strains exposed to UV-B. The UV-B-experimental research with the post-test control group. Groups K2, K3, and K4 were each exposed to UV-B at 302 nm with a MED of 160 mJ/cm2, while group K1 was the healthy group. K3 was given 5% butterfly pea flower gel, K4 was given 10% gel daily for 14 days, and K2 received base gel. On the 21st day, ELISA examined the tissue for IL-10 and GPx levels. The IL-10 gene level in the treatment group increased with higher dosages (K3=83.27±3.11, K4=90.66±4.00) compared to controls (K2=33.26±2.98, K1=104.7±3.26). The relative level of the GPx gene in the treatment group increased along with increasing dose (K3=44.90±1.44, K4=54.09±1.00) compared to the control group (K2=29.54±0.85, K1=62.43±0.85). Administration of butterfly pea flower gel can increase the level of the IL-10 gene and the level of the GPx gene in the skin tissue of mouse models of UV-B light-induced hyperpigmentation.
