Abstract

Introduction: Dysmenorrhea is a prevalent reproductive condition among adolescents and women of reproductive age. The prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea in Indonesia is 91.27 %. Analgesic drugs are frequently used to relieve pain; however, their potential side effects are common. Consequently, interest in herbal treatments has increased, as they are perceived to be safer and more suitable for the sustainable long-term management of dysmenorrhea. This scoping review aimed to identify herbal remedies that can reduce dysmenorrhea symptoms and the administration method.Methods : A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, searching Garuda and PubMed for articles published between 2015 and 2024 using the keywords “Dysmenorrhea” AND “Herbal Treatment.” Experimental or quasi-experimental studies on herbal interventions for primary dysmenorrhea were included, and data were descriptively analyzed to assess the types of herbs, administration methods, and their effects on pain. Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria.Results: Herbal agents, such as ginger, mint, cinnamon, chamomile, licorice, turmeric, tamarind, evodia fruit, and traditional Thai and Chinese formulations, were found to be effective in alleviating dysmenorrhea, likely due to their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antispasmodic mechanisms. The administration was mostly through oral intake in the form of drinks, syrup, capsules, and infusion, and also through aromatherapy.Conclusion: Herbs, including ginger, chamomile, cinnamon, licorice, and multi-herbal formulations, can serve as safe complementary therapies, particularly for individuals intolerant to conventional medications such as NSAIDs. Nonetheless, further research with stronger study designs and standardized dosages is required to support broader, affordable, and practical applications in the general population of the general population

Abstract

Introduction: Work-related stress has become a critical issue in the health sector, with significant impact on productivity and quality of service. Preliminary studies found that 50% of employees at the Health Office of City X experienced work stress. This study aimed to investigate the association between gender, age, department, and stress among health workers in the Health Office of X city.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 115 Health Office employees in City X in February- July 2025, which has already fullfill the minimal sample size for two proportion hypothesis with alpha of 0.05 and 95% power. The subjects were from five departments in the Health Office. Data were collected through interviews using valid and reliable structured questionnaires of the Workplace Stress Scale. Analyses were performed using chi-square tests and logistic regression.Results: Overall, 53% of respondents experienced work-related stress. Older subjects (≥30 years)  experienced more stress than younger workers, with an OR of 2.4 (95% CI: 1.04-5.56; p=0.038). Workers in the Division of Disease Prevention and Control also experienced more stress, with an OR of 3.56 (95% CI:1.13 – 11.11; p=0.030), while those in the other departments did not. No significant relationship was found between gender and work stress (p =0.552).Conclusion: Work stress mitigation for employees can be implemented through interventions such as cross-generational mentoring programs and workload evaluation. Additionally, it is necessary to conduct regular assessments of work stress, stress management training, and monitor the workload of all employees in the Health Department.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical period of growth marked by increased nutritional needs and heightened susceptibility to health problems. This study aimed to analyze the nutritional and health status of adolescents and their determinants.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 47 tenth-grade students at SMAN 9 Berau, recruited through total sampling method. The data collected included anthropometry, blood pressure, hemoglobin levels, and urine tests. Behavioral and psychological factors were assessed using standardized questionnaires: nutrition knowledge, dietary intake (1×24-hour recall and food frequency), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, screen time, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. Data were analyzed descriptively and using chi-square tests.Results: Most adolescents had a normal nutritional status (78%); however, a dual burden of malnutrition persisted, with undernutrition and overweight or obesity affecting over one-fifth of the participants. Dehydration was highly prevalent (89%) and was accompanied by significant cardiometabolic risks, including prehypertension (32%) and chronic energy deficiency risk (38%). Although the overall energy intake was adequate, the insufficient intake of key micronutrients, particularly protein, iron, and folate, remained common. Behavioral and psychosocial vulnerabilities were also prominent, with excessive screen time, poor sleep quality, and notable levels of stress and depression reported by more than half of the respondents. BMI-for-age was significantly associated with blood pressure, chronic energy deficiency risk, and nutritional knowledge (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Despite a predominantly normal nutritional status, adolescents remain at risk of  the double burden of malnutrition, anemia, and micronutrient deficiencies. Strengthening school-based nutrition programs, including regular health screening, practical nutrition education, and improved access to micronutrient support through fortified foods or supplements, is essential for preventing long-term health problems.
