Abstract

Chronic musculoskeletal pain is a widespread condition that impacts quality of life and poses significant health care challenges. Recent research shows that dietary factors, especially the consumption of high glycemic index (GI) foods, play an important role in exacerbating musculoskeletal pain through metabolic and inflammatory pathways. High GI foods cause a rapid spike in blood glucose, which causes increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting in oxidative stress. Oxidative stress disrupts normal cellular function, increases the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and exacerbates chronic inflammation, a major driver of musculoskeletal pain. This review discusses the mechanisms by which high GI foods increase oxidative stress and contribute to the onset and persistence of chronic musculoskeletal pain and discusses oxidative damage increasing degradation of musculoskeletal tissue, delaying recovery, and worsening pain perception. Previous studies linking high GI diets to increased oxidative stress and the incidence of musculoskeletal pain provide evidence of the potential for dietary modification as a non-invasive therapeutic strategy. In conclusion, reducing foods with a high glycemic index and adopting a diet rich in antioxidants and low glycemic index to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation is very necessary. Understanding the impact of diet on oxidative stress offers a promising avenue for the prevention and treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Further research is needed to strengthen this association and develop targeted dietary interventions for CMP patients.

Abstract

Soft drink consumption rate among adolescents was the highest and it is accompanied by an increase in the incidence of obesity.  This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the frequency and volume of weekly soft drink consumption and body mass index among adolescents.  This cross-sectional study involved 78 senior high school students in Palembang.  The frequency of soft and energy drink consumption is assessed every week.  The body mass index (BMI) was measured by standardized anthropometry.  Data was then analyzed computerized with a level of significance of P <0.05.  Spearman test results show that there was a significant positive correlation between the frequency and volume of weekly consumption of soft drinks and BMI among adolescents (p < 0.001, r = 0.517; p < 0.001, r = 0.568, respectively). Increased consumption of soft drinks among adolescents will be associated with increased body mass index which leads to overweight and obesity.

Abstract

Poor air quality and exceptionally high CO and CO2 pollutants can be contributing factors to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). This study evaluated the relationship between individual factors and CO and CO2 levels with Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) symptoms in health center employees. 74 respondents work in the room of Alang-Alang Lebar and Plaju Health Center. Then, the respondents will fill out a questionnaire related to SBS symptoms. The rooms in the selected health centers will be measured for CO and CO2  levels. The results of filling out the questionnaire will be analyzed to determine whether SBS or not, and the results of measuring CO and CO2 levels will also be categorized as normal or not. Univariate and bivariate analyses related to individual employee factors, SBS symptoms, and CO and CO2. The results of 74 respondents showed that 36 respondents (48.6%) experienced SBS. The highest SBS symptoms were red, itchy, dry, or watery eyes (75%), and symptoms of dizziness or headache (71.4%). The highest CO level measurement result was seven ppm, the lowest was six ppm, while the highest CO2 level was 561 ppm, and the lowest was 498 ppm. These measurement results are still within the normal limits of the standards set. Bivariate test results showed that individual factors, CO and CO2, are not significantly related to SBS symptoms (p > 0.05).

Abstract

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is a collection of symptoms that workers in office buildings experience that are related to the air quality and amount of time they spend there. One of the dangerous indoor air pollutants is particulate matter (PM). This study aims to determine the relationship between physical air quality (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) in the room and symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome. This study is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. This study used primary data in the form of measurement of physical air quality indicators and distribution of questionnaires regarding SBS at Plaju Primary Health Care and Alang-Alang Lebar Primary Health Care Palembang. This study is only a survey. The research sample consisted of 74 respondents who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the univariate analysis showed that 48.6% of respondents experienced SBS and 51.4% did not experience SBS. 20.3% of respondents in this study were ≥45 years old, 93.2% of respondents were female, and 75.7% of respondents had worked for >3 years. Two rooms in Alang-Alang Lebar Primary Health Care did not meet the applicable particulate matter standards, namely the registration room (PM1 50 μg/m3, PM2.5 80 μg/m3, and PM10 108 μg/m3) and the elderly general clinic (PM1 33 μg/m3 and PM2.5 49 μg/m3). The highest prevalence of SBS symptoms were red, itchy, dry, or watery eyes (75%) and dizziness or headache (71.4%). Age (p = 0.907), gender (p = 0.358), tenure (p = 0.077), PM1 (p = 0.873), PM2.5 (p = 0, 873), and PM10 (p = 0.431) had no significant link with the symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome at Plaju Primary Health Care and Alang-Alang Lebar Primary Health Care Palembang 2024.

Abstract

The psychological well-being of juvenile prisoners is very important in supporting their rehabilitation process, but is often neglected due to internal and external factors that affect their psychological condition. The correctional environment which is full of social stigma, limited psychological support, and mental conditions before detention are major challenges for juvenile prisoners. This study aims to determine the description of psychological well-being in juvenile prisoners in Bandung. This study used a quantitative descriptive research design with a total sampling technique. The research sample consisted of 80 juvenile prisoners in correctional institutions. Data collection was carried out using the Psychological Well-Being Scale questionnaire consisting of 42 question items with a Likert scale. Data analysis was carried out using a frequency distribution test to describe the level of psychological well-being based on high, medium, and low categories. The results showed that 62.5% of juvenile prisoners had moderate psychological well-being, 27.5% were in the low category, and only 10% had high psychological well-being. Factors such as mental conditions before detention, social interactions, and the physical environment in correctional institutions affect their level of psychological well-being. Social stigma and lack of psychological support are major challenges in improving their psychological well-being. Support from psychiatric nurses in correctional institutions plays an important role in helping juvenile inmates cope with stress and adapt to the detention environment. This study emphasizes the importance of psychological interventions to improve their well-being, especially by improving social support and reducing social stigma.

Abstract

Walking plays a key role in maintaining overall physical fitness which is essential for good health. Physical fitness consists of two main aspects health-related and skill-related components. It is commonly measured by assessing cardiovascular endurance muscle strength muscle endurance flexibility and body composition. This review conducted a comprehensive literature search using reputable publications such as Elsevier, PubMed, PubMed Central, and other relevant sources. The search focused on peer-reviewed studies that examine the effects of walking on physical fitness. Many studies highlight walking as a simple and accessible form of exercise that offers significant benefits such as improved cardiovascular endurance muscle strength and flexibility. It is recommended to engage in at least 150 minutes of walking each week for optimal benefits. To maximize walking's impact on fitness it is crucial to maintain good posture and proper breathing techniques. In addition to physical benefits walking also promotes mental and social well-being. It is a versatile activity suitable for all ages including adolescents, adults, children, seniors, and individuals with specific health conditions or diseases. By understanding the connection between walking and fitness people can incorporate it into their daily routines to enhance overall health. Future research could focus on specific fitness aspects related to walking to develop personalized guidelines for different populations.

Abstract

Anemia is a direct or indirect cause of maternal mortality. Anemia is associated with maternal morbidity rates. The government’s effort to address anemia is to provide iron supplements (Ferrous Sulfate). The success of iron supplement administration depends on whether or not pregnant women take iron tablets. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior of pregnant women on compliance with iron tablet (Ferrous Sulfate) consumption and the incidence of anemia during pregnancy. This observational analytic study used a cross-sectional design with primary data from pregnant women at Puskesmas Pembina Palembang. 100 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected through consecutive sampling techniques. Statistical analysis results showed that 80% of respondents were not anemic while 20% were anemic. The respondents with a high level of knowledge mostly had positive attitudes (81%), positive behavior (94%), and compliance with iron tablet consumption during pregnancy (83%). The Chi-Square test and Fisher's Exact test showed a significant relationship between knowledge level (p-value = 0.000, OR = 11.746), attitude (p-value = 0.000, OR = 34.167), behavior (p-value = 0.001, OR = 7.309), and compliance with iron tablet consumption (p-value = 0.040, OR = 3.769) and the incidence of anemia during pregnancy. This study concludes that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior of pregnant women on compliance with iron tablet (Ferrous Sulfate) consumption and the incidence of anemia during pregnancy.

Abstract

Empathy is an important skill that plays a role in the social and emotional development of adolescents and contributes to healthy and harmonious interpersonal relationships. The decline in empathy levels in adolescents today is a concern, especially in social contexts such as interactions in high school (SMA). Empathy is also key to preventing negative behaviors such as bullying and improving communication and collaboration skills. Therefore, it is important to understand students' empathy levels as a first step in developing appropriate interventions. This study aims to describe the level of empathy in high school students in Bandung. This study used a descriptive design with a total sampling technique, involving 100 respondents. Data were collected using the Basic Empathy Scale (BES) questionnaire consisting of 20 statements to measure affective and cognitive empathy. The validity test of the instrument showed a value between 0.567 and 0.812, while its reliability was measured by the Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.85 for affective empathy and 0.79 for cognitive empathy. Data analysis was carried out using frequency distribution to describe the characteristics and levels of empathy of respondents. The results of the study showed that the average level of empathy of students was 51.82, with the majority of students in the moderate empathy category (51%). This finding indicates that most students have adequate empathy skills, but there is still room for further development. Factors such as family background, academic pressure, and the influence of social media also contribute to the level of empathy shown by students. This study is expected to support the development of educational policies that focus on strengthening students' character and mental health.

Abstract

Neuroanatomy teaching requires students to understand complex spatial relations of the brain structures, traditionally accomplished using a cadaver. However, dissecting neuroanatomical structures remains a challenge due to their intricate nature. Digital technology is increasingly being adopted as a three-dimensional (3D) visualization tool, and immersive virtual reality (VR) has attracted great interest. A literature review was conducted using EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases. Studies published from 2015 onwards that compared VR-based neuroanatomy teaching with traditional methods were included. Only English-language, peer-reviewed articles with quantitative learning outcomes were analyzed. This review included 6 studies and suggests that VR is non-inferior to other teaching methods and performs better in spatial-related questions. VR is also favored to increase student motivation and engagement. These positive learning experiences are expected to diminish neurophobia. Meanwhile, as a novel technology, challenges for incorporating VR into neuroanatomy education include costly technical requirements, inadequate image resolution, anatomy details, absence of texture perception, and health concerns such as cyber-sickness. Future studies should employ a large sample size (>100), assess participants' working memory and spatial abilities, conduct longer experiment duration, and examine long-term retention. Digital simulation through VR is also attainable and can be implemented further for neurosurgical training. As technology advances, immersive VR technology can potentially be an effective teaching tool for neuroanatomy.

Abstract

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life that is faced with various physical and psychological changes. However, many women are not fully prepared for this transition. Lack of education and social support often affect their readiness to face menopause, especially in areas with low health literacy rates. Limited knowledge about perimenopause symptoms and how to manage them can impact a woman's quality of life during this time. This study aims to determine the level of preparedness of women in Tanjungpinang in facing menopause. Method: This study used a quantitative descriptive design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a sample size of 51 women in the perimenopause age range. Data were collected through a questionnaire related to readiness to face menopause. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics to describe the frequency distribution. Most respondents were in the age range of 50 years (27%), with the majority having secondary education (56.9%) and already having more than one child (86.3%). Smoking behavior was found in 96.1% of respondents. Although 54.9% of respondents felt ready to face menopause, there were still 45.1% who felt unprepared. Factors such as education level, number of children, and smoking behavior affect their readiness to face this transition. Women's readiness to face menopause in Tanjungpinang is influenced by various factors, including education, number of children, and smoking behavior. Further research is needed to identify effective interventions to improve women's readiness to face menopause, especially in diverse socio-cultural contexts.
