Abstract

Background and Aim: Postpartum depression (PPD) has a negative impact on mothers and children, such as breastfeeding (BF) disturbance. However, the relationship between BF pattern and PPD is still unclear due to contrasting results, and no related study has been done in Indonesia. Therefore this study is conducted to evaluate the relationship between BF pattern and the risk of PPD of mothers in Tangerang.Method: This is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The samples of this study are 58 mothers that fulfill the inclusion criteria. Samples are chosen by purposive sampling method. Data collection is conducted from January to April 2020. The results were analyzed using SPSS program version 22.0 with Chi- Square method.Results: There were 37 samples (63.8%) without PPD risk and 21 samples (36.8%) with PPD risk. Among 37 samples without PPD risk, 70.3% had exclusive BF and 29,7% had non-exclusive BF. Among 21 samples with PPD risk, 14.3% had exclusive BF and 85,7% had non-exclusive BF. Chi-Square analysis result showed that there is a significant association between BF pattern and PPD risk (p=0.0001), with an OR of 0.071 (95% CI: 0.17-0.289).Conclusion: Breastfeeding pattern has a significant association with PPD risk. Exclusive BF has a protective effect on the risk of PPD at one month postpartum.

Abstract

Background: Inguinal hernias are one of the most often cases in surgery. Inguinal hernias are usually found in males rather than females. There are two types of meshes in inguinal hernia repairs: heavyweight and lightweight mesh. There were still a lot of differences in the outcome of each mesh that was used. Therefore, with various different post operative pain results from past research, the author expresses an interest to conduct a research on this topic towards geriatric patients.Methods: In this cross-sectional comparative study, 45 patients using heavyweight mesh and 45 patients using lightweight mesh herniorrhaphy with Lichtenstein technique in inguinal hernias at RS Siloam Karawaci Lippo Village and RSU were reviewed retrospectively. Patient's data were taken from medical record using purposive-sampling method. Early Postoperative pain on day 1 until 7 were classified following the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Incidence of postoperative infection and seroma were assessed in both groups. Collected samples will be processed using Pearson's Chi-Squared test.Result: This study shows that there is a significant difference between the use of lightweight mesh in reducing moderate early postoperative pain for men above the age of 60 years old (p = 0.025) rather than the use of heavyweight mesh. Incidence of other postoperative complications such as infection and seroma have no statistically difference between both groups.Conclusions: The use of lightweight mesh has the advantage in reducing early postoperative pain from herniorrhaphy using Lichtenstein technique rather than heavyweight mesh in men above 60 years old.

Abstract

Introduction: As a result of today's technology advancements, many people, including youngsters, are spending more time watching television, playing video games, or using social media on computers or phones. Sedentary lifestyle refers to behaviors like these. Students' activities became passive as a result of studying online at home. As a result, the chance of acquiring more weight and eventually being obese increases. That is the basic issue addressed in the study. The majority of youngsters spend their time on video games, television, or social networking. One of the signs of a sedentary lifestyle is a lack of physical activity. In youngsters, a lack of physical activity might raise the chance of being overweight or obese.Objective: The purpose of this study is to look into the link between a sedentary lifestyle and a high BMI among Jayapura Christian School Junior High School students.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including Jayapura Christian School Junior High School students. Purposive sampling is a strategy for collecting data. The Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ) was used to collect data and determine Sedentary Lifestyle. In addition, BMI categories were utilized to determine whether someone was normal, overweight, or obese.Results: The majority of the respondents have an overweight or obese BMI (n=35; 67.3 percent) and a normal BMI (n=17; 32.7 percent), as well as a heavy sedentary lifestyle (n=45; 86.5 percent) and a moderate or light (n=7; 13.5 percent) lifestyle. Using the chi-square statistical test, the results of the two variables analysis, sedentary lifestyle and body mass index category, yielded a p-value of 0.003 and an odds ratio of 17.37 (95 percent CI:2.262–440.1). When compared to students who have a mild or moderate sedentary lifestyle, students with a severe sedentary lifestyle have odds 17.37 times higher chance of having a BMI above normal.Conclusions: There is a substantial link between a sedentary lifestyle and a BMI over the usual limit among Jayapura Christian School Junior High School students.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 drastically modulate the healthcare world. The pandemic's immense transmission and lethality rate enforce the Indonesian Medical Doctor Proficiency & Competency Test to discard practical measures and rely only on a written exam. These with pandemic social and physical restrictions impede prospective doctors’ learning opportunities leading to easier failure. Henceforth, the present study has high urgency to identify and manage failure factors, especially in the pandemic.Methods: The cross-sectional study examines 75 clinical medical students through purposive analysis with an online questionnaire in August 2021. Data are analyzed with Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney, and binary logistics.Result: Respondents have an average age of 24.15 (1.322) years old, majorly female (82.7%), and pass as first takers (86.7%) with 1.27 (0.949) off-campus tutelage. The significant factors for the test failure are depression and economic status. The study developed a failure prediction model with the area under the curve 0.845, cut-off 366.5, 80.0% sensitivity, and 84.6% specificity.Conclusion: Intrinsic, extrinsic, and academic factors have significant roles in the failure outcome. For this reason, preparation is crucial not only among individuals but also institutions. The study also provides feedback about the importance of mental health and economic status for Indonesian medical students
