Abstract

Background: Oral health is a vital component of overall well-being. The School Dental Health Program (UKGS) is designed to enhance students' oral hygiene through education and health promotion initiatives. This study conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the effectiveness of the UKGS program in improving oral hygiene among students. Subjects and Method: The literature search was conducted in November 2024 using the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. The search employed keywords such as “School Dental Health Program,” “UKGS,” “oral hygiene,” “dental health,” “students,” “school,” “intervention,” “health education,” and “effectiveness.” Studies were included if they evaluated the effectiveness of the UKGS program in improving students' oral hygiene, were published in either Indonesian or English, and utilized quantitative or qualitative research designs. Studies were excluded if they did not address the UKGS program, were not relevant to the research question, used non-empirical methods, or were published before 2010. Due to time constraints, a total of 14 articles were selected for analysis. These studies explored various factors affecting the effectiveness of the program, including the frequency and duration of implementation, educational methods used, support from parents and teachers, and students’ socioeconomic backgrounds. Results: The UKGS program has the potential to enhance students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to oral hygiene. However, its effectiveness is influenced by several key factors, including the involvement of parents and teachers, the use of engaging and interactive educational methods, and access to dental health services. Based on these findings, the study offers several recommendations to improve the future effectiveness of the UKGS program. These include increasing the frequency and duration of program implementation, incorporating more interactive and engaging educational approaches, and addressing existing gaps in access to dental health services. Conclusion: The UKGS Program has great potential in improving students' oral hygiene. However, to achieve optimal results, the program needs to be well-designed and consistently implemented by considering various factors that influence its effectiveness. By implementing the recommendations mentioned, it is hoped that the UKGS program can be more successful in improving oral health among students.

Abstract

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can affect pregnancy, particularly by increasing the risk of preterm birth. This condition can be influenced by various factors, including the level of SLE activity. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between preterm birth and the activity level of SLE categorized as mild and moderate-to-severe. Subjects and Method: This study used an analytical observational technique with a cross-sectional research design based on medical record data of pregnant women with SLE at Dr. Moewardi Hospital in the 2021-2023 period, selected through consecutive sampling This study involved 77 pregnant patients with SLE. The dependent variable is preterm labor. The independent variable in this study is pregnant women with SLE. The data were collected by medical record. The data were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test. Results: There was no significant association between the degree of systemic lupus erythematosus activity and preterm labor (p= 0.759). Conclusion: This study shows that there is no significant relationship between the incidence of preterm labor and the degree of systemic lupus erythematosus activity (mild and moderate-to-severe).

Abstract

Background: The first 1,000 days of life, encompassing fetal development during pregnancy (approximately 270 days) through the child's second year (approximately 730 days), represent a critical window for the development of vital organs, as well as cognitive and motor functions. Optimal monitoring during this period is essential for ensuring healthy growth and development. This study aimed to develop an electronic-based monitoring tool for maternal and child health, designed to deliver comprehensive, accurate, and timely information to facilitate early detection of health risks and support evidence-based interventions. Subjects and Method: The study was conducted using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach, which includes the stages of planning, design workshops, and implementation. The tool is intended to be used by health cadres at integrated health posts (posyandu) to support maternal and child health monitoring. Results: A simple and user-friendly electronic-based program has been developed to record and monitor maternal and child health status over time. Users can input the results of maternal and child health assessments, which are then presented in graphical form and can be printed as needed. The application received a feasibility score of 89.8% based on the PIECES framework, indicating strong potential for practical implementation. Conclusion: Graphical representations in maternal and child health applications allow for easier monitoring of examination results. These visual tools enable early identification of potential malnutrition-related risks, such as stunted growth in children, thereby supporting timely intervention and prevention efforts.

Abstract

Background: Oral health is a reflection of general health. Children with disabilities are more prone to problems such as dental caries and periodontal disease compared to children in general due to various factors. Indonesia has 3.3% of children with disabilities aged 5 to 17 years old. Families, especially mothers, play a crucial role in maintaining the dental health of children with disabilities because they are responsible for meeting basic needs and oral hygiene. The Health Belief Model theory can be used to understand parental behavior related to the health of children's oral cavity. This study aims to examine the influence of factors in HBM theory on the oral health of children with special needs. Subjects and Method: This study uses a cross-sectional method conducted at Sukoharjo and B-C YPPALB Langenharjo schools for special needs children, Central Java, Indonesia. A total of 200 parents or guardians of children with disabilities were obtained by random sampling. The bound variable was in the form of oral health behavior while the independent variable was in the form of vulnerability perception, severity perception, benefit perception, obstacle perception, stimulus to act, and self-efficacy. The results of the study were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: Oral Health Behavior increases with increased perception of vulnerability (b= 0.11; 95% CI= 0.11 to 0.21; p= 0.030), perception of severity (b= 0.16; 95% CI= 0.17 to 0.30; p= 0.028), perception of benefit (b= 0.12; 95% CI= 0.16 to 0.22; p= 0.024), stimulus to act (b= 0.18; 95% CI= 0.11 to 0.35; p= 0.037), and self-efficacy (b= 0.18; 95% CI= 0.11 to 0.26; p=0.000) and decreases with increasing perception of barriers (b= -0.15; 95% CI= -0.20 to - 0.11; p=<0.000). Conclusion: Perception of vulnerability, perception of severity, perception of benefit, stimulus to act and self-efficacy increase oral health behavior and perception of obstacles decreases oral health behavior.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is a symptom of infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. It remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia that requires continued research and effective solutions. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of diarrhea among toddlers at the Slawi Public Health Center, Tegal Regency. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the working area of the Slawi Public Health Center from June to July 2023. A total of 190 subjects were selected for the study. The dependent variable was the incidence of diarrhea, while the independent variable was nutritional status. Nutritional status data were collected using height-for-weight measurements. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: Nutritional status was found to be associated with the incidence of diarrhea among toddlers. Toddlers with abnormal nutritional status had a 1.73 times higher risk of experiencing diarrhea compared to those with normal nutritional status, and this result was statistically significant (OR = 1.73; 95% CI = 1.13–2.66; p = 0.005).   Conclusion: Abnormal nutritional status is associated with a higher incidence of diarrhea among toddlers.
