Abstract

Background: Urinary incontinence is a com­plaint of involuntary loss of urine and often occurs in women due to bladder dysfunction or weakened pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor muscle training (PMFT) is an exercise to treat urinary incontinence. This study aimed to ana­lyze the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training to reduce urinary inconti­nence and improve quality of life in women.Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. The data was obtained through journal databases including PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar by selecting articles published in 2010-2020. The keywords used were ("pelvic floor muscle train­ing" OR "pelvic floor exercise" OR "kegel") AND ("urinary incontinence" OR "leaking urine" OR "urinary leakage") AND ("women" OR "fe­male") AND "quality of life" AND "rando­mized controlled trial". The inclu­sion criteria were full paper articles with the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) research method. The size relation­ship used's of Mean SD, the intervention given was pelvic floor muscle training; female re­search subjects were 20-75 years old and ex­perienced urinary inconti­nence. Search articles were done by using the PICO model. Popu­lation= Women with urinary incontinence, In­ter­vention= pelvic floor muscle training, Com­parison= not given PMFT, and Outcome= de­creased urinary incontinence and improved quality of life. Articles were collected by using PRISMA flow diagrams and analyzed using the Revman 5.3 application.Results: Meta-analysis of 7 articles showed that pelvic floor muscle training could reduce urinary incontinence by 0.56 times higher compared to other interventions or no intervention (SMD= -0.56; 95% CI= -1.03 to -0.09; p= 0.020). Meta-analysis of 9 articles showed that pelvic floor muscle training improved quality of life by 0.32 times higher compared to other interventions or no intervention (SMD= -0.32; 95% CI= -0.66 to 0.02; p=0.070).Conclusion: Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PMFT) reduces urinary incontinence and improves the quality of life in women.Keywords: pelvic floor muscle training, uri­nary incontinence, quality of lifeCorrespondence: Ragil Aidil Fitriasari Addini.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 and has numerous clinical spectrums. Mild respiratory infection is the common clinical manifestation of COVID-19, and the less common is pneumonia accompanied by fever, cough, and breathing difficulty. Long COVID can be defined as prolonged signs and symptoms which cannot be explained for other reasons 4 weeks after being diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2. This study aimed to describe the cause of illness is confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients, specifically on long COVID.Subjects and Method: We performed literature searches of the latest articles with Medline, CINAHL (EBSCO), Global Health (Ovid), WHO Global Research on COVID-19 database, LitCovid and Google Scholar databases published from 2019 to 2020. Two reviewers searched all articles independently (P and W, with 7 and 10 years of experience, respectively). We conducted a systematic review to provide recent evidence of symptoms and complications in long COVID. We followed PRISMA guidelines.Results: A total of 22 papers was identified and screened for eligibility from medical databases. There were 15 papers included in this review. Reason for the continuous symptoms covid an extent of organ destruction, continuous response of chronic inflammation or immunology reaction, non-specific effect of hospital admission, some critical disease, post ICU syndrome, complications from COVID-19 infection,  morbidities and adverse effects of medications used. Common symptoms are fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, arthralgia, myalgia and weakness, sleep problems, sharp pain, gastrointestinal problems, rash and hair loss, impaired balance and ataxia, neurologic problems such as dementia, concentration disorders and poor quality of life.Conclusion: The incidence of long-term manifestations of COVID-19 has been increasing and systemic clinical symptoms affect many organs and systems. This can be due to numerous reasons like post-ICU syndrome, post-viral fatigue syndrome, permanent organ deterioration or others. Correspondence: Widiastuti Soewondo.

Abstract

Background: Adolescent girls are at risk for iron-deficiency anemia. Various food fortifications have been developed to reduce the incidence of anemia. This study aimed to investigate the effect of consumption of jelly combined with salacca pondoh seed flour and Moringa leaf flour on hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls with moderate anemia.Subjects and Method: The Randomized Control Trial study was conducted in high schools, Banyuwangi, East Java, from August to September 2020. A total of 75 high school girls with moderate anemia were randomly divided into three groups with 25 people in each group, namely: (1) Control group (C) get a combination of 100g plain jelly, and iron tablets; (2) Treatment group 1 (T1) received 100g of jelly combined with 14.9g of salacca pondoh seed flour and 5.7g of Moringa leaf flour; and (3) Treatment group 2 (T2) received 100g of jelly which had been combined with 7.5g of salacca pondoh seed flour and 3g of Moringa leaf flour. The treatment was given twice per week for 8 weeks. The dependent variable is hemoglobin level. The independent variable was administering a combination of jelly with salacca seed flour and Moringa leaf flour. Hemoglobin data was taken by laboratory examination on days 30 and 60. Data were analyzed using One Way Anova.Results: After the intervention, the average hemoglobin levels in the three groups increased during the 30th day of observation: C (Mean= 14.68; SD= 0.75), T1 (Mean= 15.50; SD= 0.90), and T2 (Mean= 14.47; SD= 0.79). There was an average increase in hemoglobin levels in the three groups during the 60th day of observation, namely: C (Mean= 14.96; SD= 0.81), T1 (Mean= 15.20; SD= 0.78), and T2 (Mean= 14.96; SD= 0.69). On the 30th and 60th day observations, the difference in mean between the three groups was not statistically significant (p= 0.412) and (p= 0.703).Conclusion: The administration of jelly combined with salacca pondoh seed flour and Moringa leaves is effective compared to plain jelly with iron tablets in increasing Hb levels.Keywords: combination jelly, salacca seeds, moringa leaves, hemoglobin, anemia, young womenCorrespondence: Poppy Wijayanti.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a problem that is often not recognized in the community because short stature is so common and often considered normal. In Indonesia, the incidence of stunting under five is a major nutritional problem, with an average prevalence from 2015-2017 of around 36.4%. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of stunting in children aged 12 months - 60 months in the Waingapu District.Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Posyandu, Waing­apu District, in December 2020. A total of 105 samples were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria using non-probability conse­cutive sampling. The dependent variable was stunting. The independent variables were exclusive breastfeeding, birth weight, house­hold income, maternal education, mater­nal nutritional status, and maternal age. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by Chi-square.Results: The prevalence of stunting in children aged 12 to 60 months in the Waingapu District was 24.8%. The bivariate analysis elucidated that the incidence of stunting was significantly increased by poor maternal education (OR= 3.40; 95% CI= 1.29 to 8.97; p= 0.011), poor maternal nutritional status (OR= 3.06; 95% CI= 1.05 to 8.89; p= 0.034), and low household income (p = 0.002).Conclusion: Poor maternal education, poor maternal nutritional status, and low household income significantly increase the incidence of stunting.Keywords: stunting, determinant, nutritional status, childrenCorrespondence: Samuel Bungaran Partahi Saud Manalu.
