Abstract

Family planning is an action to achieve prosperity through marriage counseling, treatment of infertility, prevention of unwanted pregnancies in married couples, regulating the number of children, and the spacing of childbirths. Family planning aims to improve health and welfare and create happy and prosperous small families by controlling birth rates and population growth. This study aims to determine factors related to family planning acceptors' adherence to family planning programs in the working area of ​​the Bangkala Health Center. The type of research used is a quantitative design using a cross-sectional study design approach. The sampling used a non-probability sampling method with an accidental sampling technique; the number of samples was 290—analyzed with the chi-square correlation test. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and compliance with family planning acceptors (P-Value 0.000 <0.05). There is no significant relationship between health workers' support and family planning acceptors' compliance (P-Value = 0.867 > 0.05). Despite this, the role of health workers in supporting family planning acceptors is crucial and their efforts are highly valued. Based on the results of this study, it is hoped that the Bangkala Health Center will continue to improve counseling about family planning, primarily related to the use of contraceptive devices for family planning acceptors in the Bangkala Health Center work area so that family planning acceptors are expected to increase their understanding of family planning and raise awareness to comply with the family planning program.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition where the growth of children under five is hampered due to a continuous lack of nutritional intake, which results in their height not being appropriate for their age. The short-term impact of stunting is increased morbidity and mortality rates, impaired growth, and increased burden of care and treatment costs. This study aimed to analyze about the nutritional value contained in avocado seed flour nuggets with chicken, catfish, and shrimp variants, especially the protein and calcium content. This study uses two research methods, namely descriptive and experimental methods. The aim of the descriptive method in this research was to explain the results of the nutritional content in avocado seed flour nuggets. The experimental method used in this research was to determine the nutritional content of protein and calcium in avocado seed flour at the Medan Center for Standardization and Industrial Services Laboratory using the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) method, referring to the SNI 01-2891-1992 procedure. Laboratory tests revealed the highest protein content in the chicken variant at 11.1%, followed by the shrimp variant at 10.3%, and the catfish variant at 9.57%. Meanwhile, the highest calcium (Ca) content was found in the catfish variant at 408 mg/kg, shrimp at 227 mg/kg, and chicken at 45.3 mg/kg.. Based on the results of nutritional content testing at the Medan Research and Standardization Center, the amount of protein and calcium content of avocado seed flour nuggets can meet 20% of the protein and calcium needs of toddlers.

Abstract

Depuration is an effort to reduce/eliminate contamination, including microplastics, using a water circulation system. This study aims to determine the effective depuration time to reduce the microplastic content in Asiatic hard clams (Meretrix). This study used a quantitative approach with an experimental research design and a completely randomized design. There are 450 clams used as an experimental animal where the treatment consisted of four depuration times, namely 1, 2, 3, and 4 days with three repetitions of each treatment, while the control clams were without depuration. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to see the effect of depuration treatment on the microplastic content. If the effect of the treatment was significantly different, then the Post Hoc Test was continued to determine the differences between treatments. The results showed that Asiatic hard clams (Meretrix) obtained from the mouth of the Jenelata River, Gowa, were contaminated with microplastics ranging from 0.6 to 8.1 MPs/clam and an average of 3.96 MPs/clam. Depuration time significantly affected the microplastic content in clams' depuration effectiveness. There is a tendency for a longer depuration time to decrease microplastic content in clams. The adequate depuration time to reduce the microplastic content in Asiatic hard clams (Meretrix) was 3 and 4 days. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that further research be conducted to explore methods for reducing microplastics using natural materials.

Abstract

Hemostasis is a combination of events following vascular injury, including vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, recanalization, and debridement. Clotting time is an assessment to determine the time required for blood to clot in vitro. This study aimed to determine the effect of sappan wood ethanol extract on the outcome of the clotting time test using the Lee and White method. This study is experimental, with several samples of 32 divided into three groups, using the Lee and White method clotting time examination. Group C as a control group (1 mL of venous blood only), P1 and P2 as much as 1 mL of venous blood by adding 0.3 grams and 0.4 grams of sappan wood ethanol extract, respectively. The data analysis used was One-way ANOVA with Post hoc LSD test. One-way ANOVA test revealed significant differences between research groups (<0.05). Post hoc LSD results showed a significant difference between P1 and P2 compared to group C. It can be summarized that there is a difference in the results of the Lee and White method clotting time examination between blood with and without sappan wood ethanol extract.

Abstract

Depression is a prevalent concern among the elderly population, potentially leading to suicidal ideation and behavior. Consequently, proactive measures are imperative to mitigate depression's impact. Community cadres, who offer voluntary assistance to healthcare professionals, play a crucial role in the early detection of depression. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a training program designed for cadres in identifying depression among elderly individuals residing in rural areas. This study utilized purposive random sampling to employ a pre-experimental design with a single-group pre-post intervention. 89 participants meeting the inclusion criteria—being mental health cadres and having completed comprehensive training—were randomly assigned. The intervention involved training participants in recognizing depression symptoms in the elderly. Data was collected using a personal information form and a questionnaire assessing the ability to detect early signs of depression in the elderly, administered before and after the intervention. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS-22, employing paired t-tests and Chi-square tests. The findings indicate a significant improvement in the cadres' ability to identify depression among rural elderly individuals following the intervention (p = 0.005). This study underscores the effectiveness of training programs in enhancing cadres' proficiency in recognizing depression among elderly rural residents. Consequently, we advocate for integrating regular mental health training sessions for community cadres within public health initiatives.

Abstract

Patient compliance in adhering to stroke treatment recommendations becomes one of the factors influencing the occurrence of recurrent strokes. Depression in post-stroke patients inhibits functional brain recovery, increases the potential for recurrent strokes, lowers the quality of life, and raises the risk of death compared to patients without depression. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between drug therapy compliance and the level of depression on the occurrence of recurrent strokes in post-stroke patients. This cross-sectional study involved 60 patients aged between 30 and 85 years, all undergoing outpatient stroke treatment at a hospital in Indonesia. Recurrent stroke incidents were defined as experiencing a secondary stroke within 30 days after the initial stroke occurrence. Out of the total participants, 12 individuals had experienced recurrent strokes after their initial episode, while 48 patients had not experienced recurrent strokes up to the point of data collection. Medication adherence data were evaluated using the MMAS-8 (Morisky Medication Adherence Scale), and depression levels were measured using the PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9). The research results show that in the post-stroke patient group, the level of patient adherence is high at 41.7%, and in the recurrent stroke group, the level of patient adherence is moderate at 41.7%. Meanwhile, in the post-stroke patient group, the dominant depression level is low (50%), while in the recurrent stroke group, the dominant depression level is mild, followed by severe depression. The analysis indicates that medication adherence is not associated with stroke recurrence, while depression is related to stroke recurrence with an OR value of 2.060, p <0.05. Further research on more efficient monitoring methods and proper depression management is recommended to reduce the risk of stroke recurrence.
