Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of warm ginger compresses in reducing back pain among third-trimester pregnant women. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted at Arinda Clinic, Palembang. A total of 46 third-trimester pregnant women experiencing mild to moderate low back pain were selected using purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of warm ginger compress application for 15–20 minutes per session, three times per week for two weeks. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant decrease in back pain intensity after the intervention. Before treatment, most respondents experienced moderate pain, while after the intervention, most experienced mild pain and several respondents reported no pain at all. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest pain scores (p < 0.05). In conclusion, warm ginger compress therapy is effective in reducing back pain intensity in third-trimester pregnant women and can be recommended as a safe and low-cost complementary non-pharmacological intervention in maternity care.

Abstract

Poisson regression may be used to describe count data in the form of positive integers as it often follows a Poisson distribution. Poisson regression requires that the response variable's mean and variance be equal (equidispersion). In practice, however, it is more typical to find data with overdispersion, or variation larger than the mean. The number of newborn and maternal fatalities are the response variables, and the units of analysis are the East Java Province's regencies and cities. Because of the correlation between these two variables and the overdispersion that results, the Poisson regression model has to be further developed. One such model development that blends the Poisson and Lognormal distributions is called Bivariate Poisson Lognormal Regression (BPLNR). In order to predict the factors thought to be impacting the number of infant deaths and maternal deaths in East Java Province in 2021, this study attempts to produce parameter estimators and test data for the BPLNR model. According to the modeling results, the number of infant and maternal fatalities is significantly impacted by a variety of variables, including the proportion of cases treated by health personnel and the percentage of K4 antenatal visits by expectant women, among others. Furthermore, the dispersion parameter indicates that overdispersion in the data on newborn and maternal mortality in East Java in 2021 has been taken into account by the model.

Abstract

This study's main objective was to assess and compare the quality of liquid and solid oil on their iodine value (IV) and slip melting point (SMP). This study employed a comparative experimental design, in which liquid oil (palm olein) and solid oil (a blend of palm olein and palm stearin) were analyzed under controlled laboratory conditions. Standardized analytical methods were used to ensure reliable comparison between oil types. AOCS Official Method Cc 3-25 was used to calculate the SMP, and the Wijs method was used to measure the IV in accordance with AOCS Official Method Cd 1-25. IV solid oil are 51.80, 52.35 and 52.76 (? = 52.30),  SMP solid oil are 37.4, 37.8 and 37.4 (  IV liquid oil are 58.59, 58.55 and 58.11 (? = 58.42), SMP liquid oil are 19.6, 19.6 and 19.8 ( . In conclusion, liquid oil is higher iodine value that means greater content of Unsaturated fatty acids are linked to positive cardiovascular health outcomes. Solid oil, on the other hand, showed a higher slip melting point, which implies greater thermal stability and makes it more appropriate for high-temperature frying applications.

Abstract

Obesity has become a complex issue that can affect all age groups, including adolescents. One of the primary causes of obesity is a lack of physical activity. Low levels of physical activity among adolescents are influenced by various factors, including individual factors such as sex and age. Additionally, low self-efficacy in engaging in physical activity plays a significant role. This study aims to analyse the impact of self-efficacy on the level of physical activity among students. This study employed a quantitative approach with an observational research type. The research was conducted utilising a cross-sectional design. The study was carried out in four high schools within the Driyorejo Community Health Centre area, involving a total of 335 students. The sampling method employed was proportionate stratified random sampling. The research took place from March to April 2024. The data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 with ordinal logistic regression analysis. The results of the multiple ordinal regression analysis for physical activity suggested that sex (p=0.000) and self-efficacy (p=0.000) had p-values less than 0.05, indicating a significant effect of both sex and self-efficacy on the level of physical activity among students in the Driyorejo Community Health Centre area. Therefore, efforts that can be undertaken include optimising the role of the School Health Unit (UKS) to provide opportunities for adolescents to share experiences within peer groups, thereby enhancing their motivation to engage in physical activity.

Abstract

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease that remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia. Community knowledge about Leptospirosis and their health service access patterns play an important role in prevention and case management. This study aims to describe the level of knowledge about leptospirosis and the health service access chosen when experiencing illness in Bonang, Demak. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among households in Bonang District. From eight villages with the highest leptospirosis incidence, 96 households were selected using cluster probability sampling. In this study, awareness is operationally defined as the level of knowledge about leptospirosis. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire on leptospirosis knowledge and health service access, and analyzed descriptively to present the distribution of knowledge and health service access. Most respondents had moderate level knowledge of leptospirosis, the majority of respondents understood the definition of leptospirosis but lacked knowledge regarding specific causes, symptoms, and the fact that leptospirosis is not transmitted between humans. In terms of health service access, the majority of respondents preferred practicing doctors as their first point of care. Community knowledge of leptospirosis remains insufficient and requires improvement through more intensive health education. Strengthening the primary health care access system is also necessary to ensure timely and effective case management.

Abstract

HIV/AIDS infection remains a crucial global public health issue, with a significant increase in cases every year in Indoneia, and adolescents occupy vulnerable positions. Limited knowledge related and the burden of social stigma hinders the effectiveness of intervention programs. This study aims to find out in depth the level of knowledge of junior high school adolescents about HIV/AIDS. This descriptive quantitative research uses a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of 52 grade IX students of SMP 1 Sawan. The results showed that the majority of respondents were 15 years old (55.8%) and female (67.3%). The level of adolescent knowledge about HIV/AIDS is mostly in the moderate category (65.4%), with the lowest score being 60, the highest score being 83.3, the mean being 68.3, and the median being 70. This indicates that there is still a need to provide information related to HIV/AIDS. The topic of HIV transmission has the highest proportion of wrong answers, followed by the signs and symptoms of HIV/AIDS. It is recommended that schools, parents, and the government work together in efforts to improve comprehensive and sustainable education, including strengthening Pelayanan Kesehatan Peduli Remaja (PKPR).

Abstract

Perineal pain occurs due to perineal rupture either spontaneously or episiotomy during the labor process. The feeling of pain will appear when an injury occurs. The perineal pain that is not treated properly will cause the postpartum complications, such as infection and bleeding during postpartum. As indicated by the results of the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey, there are 42.7% of postpartum hemorrhage cases and there are 25.9% of postpartum infections. Cold compresses are one of the alternative nonpharmacological methods to treat perineal pain. The aims of the research is going to analyze In 2024, the Sungai Langkai Community Health Centre in Batam City conducted research on the effect of cold compresses on reducing the intensity of postpartum perineal pain in mothers who had given birth. For this study, a pre-experimental design was used, and a pre-test and post-test group were designed. The sample of this research was 15 postpartum mothers with perineal tears. The results showed that the respondents' perineal pain was severe before the intervention was carried out was an average of 5.73 average intensity of perineal pain after intervention was 1.33. Based on the results of the Paired Sample T-test statistical test, a significance value of 0.000 was obtained, which is smaller than the significance level of 5% (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that cold compresses help reduce the intensity of perineal pain experienced by mothers after delivery with PMB Sungai Langkai Public Health Center, Batam City in 2024. It is recommended for Midwifery to provide cold compress therapy in providing care for mothers who have just given birth and are experiencing pain in the perineal area
