Abstract

The incidence of uric acid in the world is estimated at 47.2% which varies in various populations throughout the world. The highest prevalence of uric acid in people aged >15 years, according to districts/cities in Southeast Sulawesi Province, based on doctors' diagnoses, was in North Buton (12.62%). therefore, North Buton District, especially in the working area of ​​the Kulisusu Health Center was chosen as the location of this study. This study aims to determine the predictors of uric acid in people in coastal areas. This study uses a case-control study design. The population in this study consisted of people living in the coastal area of ​​the Kulisusu Health Center, with a total sample of 106 (53 cases and 53 controls). Sampling using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using a questionnaire, and the data that had been collected was analyzed statistically using the chi-square test at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05) which aims to analyze predictors of gout. The results showed that genetic factors had a value (p=0.004; OR=3.559; CI = 1.483-8.539) and purine consumption patterns had a value (p=0.02; OR=3.103; CI=1.162-8.288). It can be concluded that genetic factors and purine consumption patterns are predictors or risk factors for gout in coastal communities in the working area of ​​the Kulisusu Health Center. Coastal communities should limit foods that contain high purines, such as shellfish and meat, especially for those who have a family history of uric acid.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic was a global health emergency that caused anxiety, including for pregnant women. In Ireland, clinical anxiety for pregnant women during the Covid-19 pandemic reached 63.4-66.7%. Anxiety in pregnant women increases the hormone cortisol, which suppresses the immune system and increases blood sugar levels, resulting in low birth weight (LBW) babies and delayed fetal growth. Social support influences anxiety in pregnant women. The research aims to determine the relationship between social support and anxiety among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method is a quantitative survey with a cross-sectional approach. Using a purposive sampling technique, the sample was 397 pregnant women in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. Data were collected using the Corona Anxiety Scale questionnaire and social support questionnaire. Data analysis used the Somer's d Gamma test. The results show that the majority of respondents live in Kulonprogo Regency (35.5%), graduated from high school/vocational school (53.7%), do not work (51.9%), family income is the Provincial Minimum Wage and above (70 .3%) and primigravida (63%). Mothers with low social support experienced more anxiety (66.7%). Variables related to anxiety in pregnant women are employment (p-value= 0.024), family income (p-value= 0.023), parity (p-value= 0.024), and social support (p-value= 0.023). The unrelated variable is education (p-value= 0.693). There is a relationship between social support and anxiety among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety is more experienced in pregnant women with low social support. Community health centers as primary healthcare facilities should facilitate access to mental health services by developing clinical teleconsultation and increasing public knowledge about the importance of social support to prevent anxiety.

Abstract

Maternal mortality is still a major public health problem. Every day, about 810 women around the world die cause of related to pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium. Jember Regency has the highest number of maternal deaths in East Java in 2021, namely 115 deaths, of which 61 (53%) occurred during the puerperium. This study aims to determine the relationship between the health belief model and early mobilization behavior during the postpartum period in the Jember District. The health belief model consists of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers. Research with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 123 postpartum mothers in the Jember Regency. A multistage random sampling technique was used to sample the population. Data were collected through questionnaires and observation checklists of mobilization behavior, then analyzed using descriptive data analysis and the Spearman correlation test. The results of the descriptive data analysis showed that 86.2% of postpartum mothers were aged 20-35 years, and 40.7% had a high school level of education. In comparison, the results of the Spearman correlation test showed perceived susceptibility (p=0.000, ρ = 0.346), perceived severity (p=0.001, ρ = 0.309), perceived benefits (p=0.000, ρ = 0.450) and perceived barriers (p=0.000, ρ = -0.428). It can be concluded that perceptions of susceptibility, severity, and benefits have a positive relationship with early mobilization behavior, while perceived barriers have a negative relationship. It is necessary to strengthen community and family empowerment efforts by increasing the role of cadres and families in providing motivation and support to postpartum mothers to carry out early mobilization to prevent complications during the postpartum period and to accelerate recovery in postpartum mothers after giving birth.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis; the method of transmission is through the air by sneezing, splashing phlegm, or coughing from Tuberculosis sufferers. Family members who live in the same house as Tuberculosis sufferers have a very high risk of being infected with Tuberculosis. This research aims to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, family support, and health workers' role in Tuberculosis sufferers' behavior to prevent transmission to families in the Puuwatu City Health Center working area. Kendari 2021. This research is quantitative research with a cross-sectional study approach. The population in this study was 54 TB sufferers. The sampling technique used was a non-random sampling technique, namely total sampling. Primary data was collected using a pre-tested questionnaire. The data that has been collected is then processed using the Chi-Square test (α=0.05). From the results of statistical analysis, the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable was obtained for the variables knowledge (ρ-value= 0.004), family support (ρ-value= 0.033), role of health workers (ρ-value= 0.049) and attitude (ρ -value= 0.067). The variables of knowledge, family support, and the role of health workers are related to the behavior of Tuberculosis sufferers to prevent transmission to the family. In contrast, the attitude variables are not related to the behavior of tuberculosis sufferers in order to prevent transmission to the family.

Abstract

The 2021 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) results of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia show that stunting prevalence in five-year-old children is 24.4%. Children who are stunted until the age of 5 years will find it challenging to overcome, so it will continue into adulthood and can increase the risk of offspring with low birth weight. Stunting will cause long-term impacts, namely impaired physical, mental, intellectual, and cognitive development. This research method used true experimental design by providing 50,0 g of nuggets daily for six weeks as high supplements in animal protein, calcium, and zinc. The subjects of this research were children aged 6-24 months, the subjects were randomly assigned. The number of samples based on the sample size calculation was 30 children. Bodyweight was measured using a digital scale, and body length/height was measured using a stadiometer and microtoice. Data was processed and analyzed using computerized statistical software. The results showed that before the intervention was given to the treatment subjects, the average height was 79,6 ± 4,8 cm; after the treatment, the average height was 80,01±4,9 cm. Based on the paired t-test results, there was a significant difference in height of 0,41 ± 0,26 cm (p = 0,000). For initial body weight or before being given treatment to the treatment subjects, there was an average body weight of 10,1 ± 1,5 kg, and after being given treatment, the average body weight was 10,3±1,5 kg, there was no difference (p = 0,082) of body weight after being given supplementation. As a suggestion, it is necessary to develop a more varied form of food so that infants and children of all ages can consume high amounts of supplements in animal protein, calcium, and zinc.

Abstract

Labor pain is a physiological journey experienced by a woman to gain a subjective experience of physical feelings related to uterine contractions, cervical dilatation and effacement, and fetal descent during labor. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the effleurage massage method compared to rubbing massage in reducing the pain intensity of normal labor during the first active phase. This type of research uses Quasi-Experimental with a Pretest-Posttest with a control group design. The population consisted of 45 respondents divided into three groups: two intervention groups and one control group. Each group consists of 15 respondents, selected through a total sampling technique. The use of an observation sheet that contains a list of observed points by marking the numbers contained in the assessment sheet, which shows the level of pain that the mother feels and is applied before and after the intervention is used as an indicator in measuring the effectiveness of the two methods using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measurement scale. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Test, the Kruskal-Wallis Test, and the Mann-Whitney Test. The results showed that the group given effleurage massage experienced a decrease in labor pain intensity by 12 respondents (80%) with a p-value of 0.000, and the group given rubbing massage experienced a decrease in labor pain intensity by ten respondents (66.7%) with a p-value value 0.000 while the comparison between the effleurage massage and rubbing massage groups obtained a p-value of 0.417 > 0.05. So that the use of pain reduction methods such as non-pharmacological methods in the form of effleurage massage and rubbing massage is always expected to be an option for health workers, in this case midwives in the handling of mothers in childbirth, considering that many factors influence the perception of pain which are very subjective and individual.

Abstract

Kersen (Cherry) (Muntingia calabura L) leaves are empirically used to treat various diseases because they contain flavonoid and tannin compounds. Based on previous research, it was reported that phenolic compounds, tannins, and flavonoids can potentially counteract free radicals so that they can improve the body's immune system. The purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of extracts of methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane from cherry leaves (Muntingia calabura L.). The DPPH free radical scavenging method is based on the reduction of the colored DPPH free radical methanol solution by free radical inhibition. The extraction process of a compound is carried out to separate the material from the mixture using a suitable solvent. The existence of a level of polarity of a solvent used to attract the components of active compounds in plants is a guide for the search for new compounds in a plant. The potential of a compound to counteract free radicals can be determined by calculating the IC50. The results showed that the extract of methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane of the cherry leaf (Muntingia calabura L.) had inhibitory activity against DPPH free radicals with IC50 values of 8.67; 9,097, and 18.17 g/mL. Meanwhile, gallic acid has inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 1.77 g/mL. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of cherry leaves were able to inhibit DPPH activity in a very strong category, which was almost comparable to gallic acid, while n-hexane extract had antioxidant activity in a strong category.
