Abstract

Background The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing in Indonesia and the known contributing factors are age, physical activity, smoking, and diet. Education plays a role in increasing knowledge, and might influence one's attitudes and practices. Studies on the role of knowledge, attitude and balanced diet practices are scarce in Indonesia and still remain controversial. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between education and knowledge and their effects on attitude and balanced diet practices. Method This was a cross sectional study that involved 56 women aged 18 years and above. Questionnaires and modified structured questionnaires were used to assess sociodemographic factors, knowledge, attitudes, and practice. Scores of education, knowledge, attitude, and practice were categorized as low and sufficient. Data were analyzed using SPSS ver.28.0.1.1. Simple and multivariate logistic regression were used to assess the relationship between sufficient scores and sociodemographic factors: age, education, working status, income, and disease history. Results Median age of women in our study was 43 years old with 33.9% of them had minimal education level of graduated Diploma. Around 28.6% and 17.1% of subjects had low knowledge and attitude, respectively, and 81.4% had poor balanced diet practices. Education was positively associated with knowledge levels (adjusted OR = 5.35 [95%CI: 1.05, 27.25], p=0.04). However, knowledge was not found associated with attitude ((OR = 2.16 [95%CI: 0.24, 19.38], p=0.49) and attitude was not found associated with balanced diet practices, even after the adjustment with covariates (adjusted OR = 2.27 [95%CI: 0.25, 20.84], p=0.469). Conclusion Our study showed that the level of education was positively associated with knowledge but we have not found association between knowledge and attitude and between attitudes and balanced diet practice. A program needs to be designed to increase attitude and balanced diet practices, that can be used to control the development of diabetes in this population.

Abstract

BACKGROUNDObesity has become a global problem in the last ten years. The increasing incidence of obesity caused an increase number in deaths from various obesity-related diseases. Pharmacotherapy for obesity that exists today is limited and has a variety of side effects. Apple cider vinegar is one type of natural ingredient used by the general public to lose weight. Acetic acid is an active component of apple cider vinegar that plays important role in weight loss. METHODSThis study is an experimental study using experimental animals. Thirtysix Sprague Dawley rats aged 1-2 months were given high-fat diet for 5 weeks. Rats with obesity were divided into 3 groups, the control group, the P1 group were given apple cider vinegar doses of 0.096mL/100g twice daily and the P2 group were given apple cider vinegar doses of 0.192mL/100g twice daily. Treatment is given for 4 weeks. Weight and leftovers food are weighed during treatment period. The final weight was analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test and the weight difference was analyzed with the one-way ANOVA test followed by the Turkey post hoc test. RESULTSThere was no difference in final weight between the 3 groups (p=0.55), but there was a significant difference in weight before and after treatment between the control group and the P1 group (p=0.001) and the control group with the P2 group (p=0.000). CONCLUSIONApple vinegar has the potential to be used as an anti-obesity treatment in obese subjects. KEYWORDS : Obesity, Apple Cider Vinegar, Weight Loss

Abstract

Background Dry eye syndrome is an eye disorder that affect tear film and can causes damage to the surface of the eyes. This disease is one of the health burdens because of its high prevalence. There are various risk factors for dry eye syndrome, one of which is coffee consumption, due to its high caffeine content. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between coffee consumption and dry eye syndrome in adults. Methods An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was used for this research. The population in this study were adults (20 – 59 years old) in RW 07 Panaragan Pojok with sample size of 115 people who were taken using cluster random sampling and simple random sampling. Data were collected through filling out questionnaires regarding coffee consumption and filling out OSDI questionnaires. Research data was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results The results of this study shows that subjects who have dry eye syndrome are dominated by late adults in age 30 – 9 years old and male sex. Of all subjects with dry eye syndrome, most of them have a habit of consuming coffee, especially in light consumption. There is no relationship between gender (p = 0,776) and age (p = 0,221) with dry eye syndrome. Meanwhile, it was found that there is a relationship between coffee consumption and dry eye syndrome (p = 0,000). Conclusions This study shows that coffee consumption is associated with dry eye syndrome in adulthood. However, it was found that there is no significant relationship between sociodemographic characteristics (age and gender) and dry eye syndrome.

Abstract

Despite the significant global burden of COVID-19, the current pandemic has resulted in unprecedented economic hardship. When various business fields are trying to reopen during the present coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, industrial hygiene (IH), occupational health and safety (K3) are being challenged to be able to assess and manage COVID-19 risks in the workplace. In general, many measures have been designed to control workplace hazards; however, efforts to adapt them specifically to prevent infectious disease outbreaks are still limited. All employers should remain alert and informed about changing outbreak conditions, including the spread of the virus in the community and the availability of testing, and implement appropriate infection prevention and control measures. For this reason, the government and employers need to prepare workers to return to work safely and safely with preventive measures to help reduce the transmission of the virus, especially in the workplace.

Abstract

Background Herbal masks are made from lamination-spraying of Nephrolepis exaltata (NE) extract on regular medical masks, which may absorb Volatile Organic compounds (VOC) in the occupational exposure of the textile industry'sindustry's dyeing area. Therefore, clinically, the effect on nasal mucociliary transport time (TMSH) needed to be tested and compared with ordinary cloth-mask teens used by textile industry workers as their daily personal protective equipment. Methods Pre- and post-test randomized control trials on 30 textile-dyeing areas of textile industry workers in Bawean Indonesia, divided into two groups; 1) users of NE herbal masks (N=17) as the treatment group and 2) regular cloth mask users (N=13) as control-group, for eight weeks. First, the TMSH time (seconds) was carried out before and after treatment using the saccharin test by an ENT specialist, followed by a different test on delta. Results The TMSH-time of NE herbal mask users before vs after treatment was 1169.60 ± 644.55 seconds vs 1075.75 ± 677.36 (p = 0.102). On subjects wearing regular cloth masks was 1113.75 ± 479.43 vs 1187.40 ± 544.96 (p = 0.003). The mean delta'sdelta's difference before and after treatment was 25.5 seconds, with a significant difference in mean delta TMSH-time between the treatment and control groups (p = 0.048). Conclusions Textile-industry workers who wear NE herbal masks have better TMSH times than regular cloth mask wearer

Abstract

BACKGROUND Toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. In Indonesia, the number of positive T. gondii findings in humans was around 53%. The transmission of toxoplasmosis from animals to humans can be through food, such as consumption of undercooked meat or raw vegetables or gardening without using gloves. Toxoplasmosis infection in women of childbearing age, especially during pregnancy, will be dangerous because it can cause premature birth, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, or babies born with congenital toxoplasmosis. This study investigates the relationship between knowledge level and toxoplasmosis prevention behaviour. METHODS This study uses a cross-sectional analytic observational study design on mothers aged 15-49 years at Puskesmas Grogol Petamburan, Jakarta, in November-December 2021. The samples studied were 132 samples. Data was collected using a knowledge level questionnaire about toxoplasmosis containing 20 statements and a toxoplasmosis prevention behaviour questionnaire containing eight statements. Data were analyzed by chi-square statistical test SPSS with significance limits of p<0.05. RESULTS Of the 132 respondents who participated in this study, 46 respondents (34.8%) had a good level of knowledge (score ≥ 8), while 86 respondents (65.2%) had a poor level of knowledge. A total of 91 respondents (68.9%) had very good preventive behavior, 26 respondents (19.7%) had good preventive behavior, and 15 respondents (11.4%) had poor preventive behavior. The chi-square statistical test results showed no significant relationship between the level of knowledge and toxoplasmosis prevention behavior (p=0.867). CONCLUSION Toxoplasmosis preventive behavior in women of childbearing age at Grogol District Health Center was not depend on the level of knowledge of toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis preventive behavior may be related to other factors that require further research. KEYWORDS: Knowledge, Prevention Behavior, Toxoplasmosis, Childbearing Age

Abstract

BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted negatively on lives all around the world. Indonesia implemented physical distancing and lockdown to prevent the spread of this virus. However, without realising it, the implementation of these rules can have a negative effect on physical and mental health, including stress. In a study of 113.285 people conducted in China, India, Spain, Italy, and Iran, stress was found to be prevalent in 53% of the population. Sudden changes in lifestyle (physical distancing and lockdown) can lead to less physical activity and poor sleep quality, both of which can lead to stress. Physical activity and sleep quality in the context of stress give inconsistent results. Therefore, researchers are interested in examining the correlation between physical activity and sleep quality with the incidence of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS This study was using a cross-sectional approach and the subject of this study were teachers. In this study, physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and stress was measured using the Perceived Stress Scale. The data obtained was analysed using the chi-square and kolmogorov-smirnov test with a significance limit <0.05. RESULTS Based on the data obtained from this study, it can be concluded that 54.1% subjects have a moderate physical activity, 90.2% subjects have a poor sleep quality, and 60.7% subjects have a mild stress level. Statistical analysis between physical activity and stress obtained p = 1.0 and between sleep quality and stress obtained p=0.883. CONCLUSIONS According to the study's findings, there is no statistically significant correlation between physical activity and stress, and there is no correlation between sleep quality and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relationship between Sitting Duration and Body Mass Index to Deep-Vein Thrombosis Risk on Employee BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition where a blood clot forms in the deep venous circulation system, especially in the femoral and popliteal vein. This disease has various factors, including obesity and a sedentary lifestyle such as sitting for long period of time. Employees who spend most of their time sitting at work are at risk of developing this condition. Previous studies showed different results, thus further research is needed. METHOD An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional method conducted on 90 employees at Bank BTN Head Office Jakarta from October to November 2021. Data were collected by interview using the OSPAQ questionnaire to assess sitting duration, Wells criteria to assess DVT risk, and calculation of body mass index (BMI). Sample was done by simple random sampling technique and analysis using chi-square. RESULTS There are more male respondents (60%) than female respondents (36%). It was found that 4,4% of employees have a thin BMI, 52,2% of employees have a normal BMI, and 43,3% of employees have a fat BMI. The respondents’ average sitting duration was 2,6 hours/day without interruption. There was no relationship between sitting duration (p=0,903) and the risk of DVT. There was a relationship between BMI (p=0,008) and the risk of DVT. CONCLUSION A body mass index above normal is a risk for deep vein thrombosis, but the disease is not affected by long sitting duration.

Abstract

BACKGROUNDThe frequency and duration of using electronic devices have increased rapidly due to working from home during the Covid19 pandemic. This causes many complaints of vision such as tired eyes, heat, blur, foreign body sensation in the eyes and various other symptoms. All of these are known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) symptoms, which could happen in and/or outside the eye. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the use of electronic devices with CVS symptoms felt by employees of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Trisakti, Jakarta. METHODSFifty-three employees aged 25-60; were recruited for this cross-sectional study. A complete questionnaire consisting of several questions, including the type and number of electronic devices used, how many hours of use in a day, and complaints felt when using electronic devices, was applied to determine the CVS symptoms. In addition, a visual inspection was conducted to determine the visual acuity. Fisher's exact test was used for analyzing the statistics. RESULTSMore than half of the subjects (52.8%) used 3-4 electronic devices for more than 6 hours daily (56.6%). Multiple CVS symptoms were complaint by 52.83% of subjects, such as tired eyes, blurred vision, and dry eyes observed in 71.7%, 45.3%, and 33.9% of subjects, respectively. Bivariate analysis using Fisher's exact test assessed the relationship between risk factors, such as the use of electronic devices, gender, age, number of electronic devices used, duration of usage in a day, visual acuity, and the incidence of CVS complaints. There was no significant relationship between the various risk factors with CVS complaints, indicated by p>0.05 in all variables. CONCLUSIONUsers of electronic devices often feel various complaints in their eyes when using these devices. Although there was no association between the risk factors studied and complaints of CVS, it is still critical to investigate other factors that may be associated with the incidence of CVS due to its multifactorial pathogenesis.

Abstract

BACKGROUNDPuberty is intimately associated with adolescence, one of which is the first menstrual period. Young women frequently have dysmenorrhea as a result of menarche. Dysmenorrhea that isn't medicated appropriately might make it difficult for young women to go about their daily lives. Consuming kunyit asam is one solution to relieve the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain. This study aims to determine whether the consumption of kunyit asam and its regularity during menstruation can lower abdominal pain in dysmenorrhea. METHODSIn October 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted at the Yayasan Indocement Middle School in Bogor, West Java. Cluster random sampling was used to collect data from 108 junior high school students who completed the Form Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) questionnaire to determine the frequency and duration of kunyit asam consumption and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) questionnaire to reduce the severity of dysmenorrhea pain. The Chi-Square test was used to examine the data, with the level of <0.05 as the significance level. RESULTSOf 108 respondents, most of them experienced menarche at >11 years old (90.74%), always take kunyit asam solution (57.41%) with duration >3 months (74.07%) and did not have menstrual pain (88.89%). In junior high school adolescents, a significant correlation was discovered between the frequency and the duration of kunyit asam consumption and dysmenorrhea (p=0.016, p=0.007). CONCLUSIONIn junior high school students, there is a correlation between the frequency and duration of kunyit asam consumption and dysmenorrhea.
