Abstract

Background: Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders (CRSD) is a sleep pattern disorder that can be caused by a shift work system, especially the night shift. This disorder can cause various cardiovascular diseases, psychological, decreased concentration, even Alzheimer's. Some professions that demand high precision such as nurses who work with night shifts in the Emergency Room are very vulnerable to CRSD and if not handled, it can lead to work negligence. The purpose of this review is to review CRSD due to work shifts, possible risks to the ED nurse and how to overcome them.Subjects and Method: This article uses CRSD-related reviews published from 2000-2018 from various databases: PubMed, PMC Central and Elsevier open-access. The search was conducted on 1-14 July 2018 with keywords: "Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders", "treatment AND CRSD", "the effect of CRSD", "CRSD AND nursing, and" CRSD in night workers ".Results: Based on the 20 articles reviewed, CRSD is a sleep pattern disorder that can be caused by endogenous factors and exogenous factors. One exogenous factor is a disturbance due to working time with the shift work disorders (SWD) system. There are several ways to overcome CRSD due to working hours, including: taking a nap before work, modifying the environment by avoiding light if going to sleep, but approaching light if you have to wake up, resetting your sleep schedule, and giving melatonin.Conclusions: CRSD due to work disorders is called SWD which can be overcome by rearranging sleep, modifying the environment to fit the circadian rhythm, and consuming melatonin if needed.Keywords: Circadian rhythm sleep disorders, shift work disorders, nursesCorrespondence: Arief Wahyudi Jadmiko.

Abstract

Background: The first five years of life is often considered as golden period,  critical period, or window opportunity. During this period there is maximal growth and development. Early Detection and Intervention Program for Growth and Development of Children Under Five (SDIDTK) is a program that aims to do early detection and intervention when there is an impairment in growth and development in children under five or pre-school children. Early detection allows early intervention. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of early detection and intervention program for growth and development of children under five.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with case study approach, conducted in Tegal Health Centers, Tegal, Central Java. Nineteen key informants were selected purposely for this study, including health center midwife, midwife who were in charge of coordinating child and adolescents affair, head of the health center,  head of Children and Adolescents Division at District Health Office Tegal, and mothers who had children with growth disorder.Results: SDIDTK has been implemented since 2010. The communication aspect has not been implemented consistently. There was a lack in resources, including personnel, equipment, and  infrastructure. The attitude of the program implementer was not positive, because they considered that program was not effective. Guideline book and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) were available. Growth examination activities were sufficient, but development examination activities were lacking. The reporting system was not sufficiently implemented.Conclusion: SDIDTK program was not been implemented optimally in Tegal. It is sugested to enhance the motivation of the program implementer and improve the equipment and they infrustructure for SDIDTK implementation.Keywords: implementation, SDIDTK program, growth, development, children under fiveCorrespondence: Adrestia Rifki Naharani.

Abstract

Background: Early childhood is a unique period where development proccess such as language development occurs rapidly.  Speech and language disorders are two among the most common problems in children. The first years of life form critical period in children’s life. Maximum brain plasticity occurs during the initial years of life and continues to develop for a few years with slower pace. Sensorik experience, stimulation, and language exposure during this period determine the synaptogenesis, myelinisation, and synaptic relation. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reported that speech disorder ocurred approximately 0.9% in children under five, and 1.94% in children aged 5-14 years old. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal education, family income, parenting style, and language development in children aged 3-4 years.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with cross sectional design. This study was conducted at Kindergarten Nogosari Sub-district, Boyolali, Central Java. A sample of children aged 3-4 years old were selected for this study. The dependent variable was language development. The independent variables were maternal education, family income, and parenting style. The data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. Results: Maternal education ≥ high school (OR= 25.74; 95% CI= 1.80 to 367.62; p= 0.017), family income ≥ minimum regional wage (OR= 32.98; 95% CI= 2.93 to 370.52; p= 0.005), and democratic parenting style (OR= 20.19; 95% CI= 1.83 to 222.82; p= 0.014), had positive and statistically significant relationships with language development in children aged 3-4 years old.Conclusion: Maternal education ≥ high school, family income ≥ minimum regional wage, and democratic parenting style, have positive and statistically significant relationships with language development in children aged 3-4 years old.Keywords: maternal education, family income, parenting style, child language developmentCorrespondence: Muryanti.

Abstract

Background: Common antimicrobial regimens for treating bacterial vaginosis often cause recurrence and bacterial resistance. Previous studies have reported that a combination of antimicrobial and probiotic consisting of Lactobacillus spp. Is an effective treatment for recurrent bacterial vaginosis. Lactobacillus plays an important role in vaginal health by replacing the pathogenic colonies in vagina. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of adding probiotic to antimicrobial therapeutic for the prevention of  bacterial vaginosis(BV) recurrence.Subjects and Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching the following databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Springer Link and the Cochrane. The review included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted in primary hospitals and private clinics. The Amsel criteria and Nugent score were used for diagnosis appraisal of bacterial vaginosis. were included in this systematic review consisting of the two types of bacterial vaginosis treatment.  All pooled data analyses were based on random-effects models and intention to treat (ITT). Data were analyzed using Rev Man 5 software.Results: The review included 5 RCTs involving 692 women on reproductive age underwent treatment of BV for 5 days or more.The studies showed that combination of probiotic and antimicrobial treatment reduced the risk of bacterial vaginosis recurrence a half time compared to antimicrobial treatment alone(RR= 0.49; 95% CI= 0.17 to 1.44).Conclusion: Adding probiotic to antimicrobial regimens is more effective than antimicrobial regimens alone for treating bacterial vaginosis recurrence.Keywords: probiotic, antimicrobial, bacterial vaginosis recurrence, randomized controlled trialCorrespondence: Aquartuti Tri Darmayanti.

Abstract

Background: Bacterial vaginosis is commonly experienced by women of reproductive age. The Nugent score is the gold standard for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis. Prebiotic Glucomannan hydrolysates (GMH) as a therapy in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis and has an immunomodulatory effect on the immune system and provides cellular immunity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of GMH and BV Gel on Nugent scores, Treg cell presentation, and TGF ? levels in bacterial vaginosis of women of childbearing age.Subjects and Method: This was an experimental study. A sample of 24 women aged 20 to 45 years old with bacterial vaginosis (Nugent score ?7) was divided into 4 groups: oral antibiotic group metronidazole (500mg), combination of GMH (300mg) and metronidazole, 5 ml BV Gel tube, and combination of GMH and BV Gel scores. The dependent variables were GMH and BV Gel administrations. The independent variables Nugent score, Treg presentation, and TGF-? level. Nugent score, Treg cell presentation, and TGF ? level were measured on day-0, day-11, and day-22. The data were analyzed by one way Anova.Results: The results of the analysis after treatment on day 22 showed that the GMH and BV gel were able to reduce Nugent scores, increase Treg cell presentation and TGF ? levels in bacterial vaginosis of women of childbearing age.Conclusion: GMH as an alternative therapy for bacterial vaginosis compared with antibiotic treatment can improve normal vaginal flora and stimulate the immune system in vitro and in vivo significantly.Keywords: Glucomannan Hydrolysates, BV Gel, Nugent sel Treg score, TGF ?Correspondence:Ambar Dwi Retnoningrum.
