Abstract

The escalating issue of emotional and mental disorders, such as stress, anxiety, and depression, necessitates proactive measures to anticipate adverse effects on individuals experiencing them. One of the ways is by implementing a screening method. An android-based screening application can offer immediate feedback about an individual’s mental health condition. This study employs a research and development approach encompassing the preliminary study, model development, and model validation. The outcome of this study was an initial design for an Android-based screening application, DeAs Care, which aims to measure the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in individuals. The DeAs Care application underwent evaluation by a group of 15 adolescent participants, all between the ages of 18 and 20. The assessment employed a Likert scale with a range of 1 to 5. The results indicated an overall satisfaction rate of 85%, corresponding to a ‘Very Good’ rating. The application was utilized on 216 adolescent participants to evaluate their levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. The assessment results indicate that the subsequent proportions of participants received a diagnosis of depression: 21% of the participants reported experiencing mild depression, while 20% showed moderate depression. Additionally, 8% had severe depression, and 6% had extremely severe depression. The other 45% of participants indicated they were in normal conditions. As for the participants' anxiety levels, the results of the assessments showed that 15% of them had mild anxiety, 31% had moderate anxiety, 23% had severe anxiety, 16% had extremely severe anxiety, and 15% of them were in a normal state. Furthermore, concerning stress levels, the study found that 20% of individuals had mild stress, 24% experienced moderate stress, 6% experienced severe stress, and 1% experienced extremely high stress levels. In comparison, the remaining 50% reported normal stress levels. The findings indicate that utilizing the DeAs Care Android application for screening adolescent mental health is an effective method for preventing issues related to mental and emotional disorders through self-assessment.

Abstract

Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (DR TB) is a form of tuberculosis caused by Mtb bacteria resistant to anti-tuberculosis drugs (OAT). The prevalence of DR TB in Jember has significantly increased over the years, and many still refuse treatment. These individuals actively spread the bacteria to people at home or in the workplace. This research aims to identify predisposing factors in preventing the transmission of DR TB based on knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. It is a qualitative case study involving primary subjects, DR TB patients, additional information from patient support organizations, and health department officials in Kab. Jember. The criteria for research subjects are residing in Kab. Jember, undergoing treatment, and willing to participate. The subject selection technique uses purposive sampling, resulting in 10 individuals. Data collection techniques involve in-depth interviews and observations. Data presentation follows the guidelines of Milles and Huberman, employing Thematic Content Analysis (TCA) for analysis. Data validity checks use credibility and dependability tests with source and technique triangulation. The research results indicate varying knowledge among subjects regarding DR TB prevention, with most obtaining information from healthcare professionals and patient support. In terms of attitude perspectives, all subjects show a positive response, expressing willingness to prevent DR TB transmission. Belief perspectives reveal diverse actions in DR TB transmission prevention. Most trust advice from healthcare professionals and patient support, while a minority still believe in herbal treatments and the culture of "tirah" to support TB treatment. In conclusion, knowledge, attitude, and belief perspectives are positive, but there is room for improvement in the behavior of implementing DR TB transmission prevention measures.

Abstract

Patients undergoing hemodialysis for a period of more than 3 years tend to experience malnutrition due to inadequate food intake, diseases of the digestive tract, eating restrictions, drugs that cause impaired nutrient absorption, inadequate dialysis, and comorbidities. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis in Palu. This study used a cross-sectional design to determine the correlation or relationship between 2 variables. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. The sampling formula determined the number of samples to test the hypothesis on the average of two populations with 108 respondents. This study was carried out in 2 hemodialysis units in Palu. The samples involved in this study were selected by simple random sampling. The results of this study show that most respondents are in the age range of > 55 years, with 41 people (48.1%); are female, with 56 people (51.9%); have a high school education, with 46 people (42.6%); are working, with 81 people (75%) while the remainings are retirees and housewives; and have hypertension as their comorbid disease, with 56 people (51.9%). There is a relationship between nutritional status and overall quality of life, based on the SGA p-value of 0.016 (p-value < 0.05) and based on the MIS p-value of 0.004 (p-value < 0.05), with the strength of the relationship being weak. The conclusion is there is a relationship between nutritional status and the quality of life of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. It is hoped that nurses can pay more attention to the nutritional status of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract

Female students are a group of women of childbearing age who can become pregnant and have risk factors for toxoplasmosis which can cause pregnancy disorders, birth defects, and death. Seroepidemiological studies of toxoplasmosis in women are essential to determine whether infection occurs in the early stages of fertilization or earlier. The research aimed to determine the incidence of toxoplasmosis in female college students. This research was carried out in June 2023 and has received ethical recommendations from KEPK Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang. The type of research used was analytical descriptive. Sampling used purposive sampling. The inclusion criteria were 87 students who were willing to have their blood taken. Blood is taken using the venipuncture method, then the whole blood is separated from the plasma. Plasma samples were collected and analyzed for the presence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii using the ELISA method. Then the data was analyzed using SPSS software, univariate analysis to determine the frequency distribution and percentage of each variable. The results showed that 31 students were positive for IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii. Of these, the majority aged 20 years (n = 20, 16.1%) were positive for anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG. Toxoplasmosis infection of 9.2% occurred in female college students who owned cats, 3.4% occurred in female college students who consumed undercooked meat, and 29.8% of female college students who consumed raw vegetables. Female college students have risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii infection so it is important to carry out screening so that Toxoplasma gondii can be detected and treated immediately.

Abstract

Earthquake disasters can occur at any time and humans are not yet able to detect when they can occur. Children are included in a group that is vulnerable to the impact of disasters because of their lack of knowledge regarding disaster mitigation. To minimize the impact of disaster events, education on disaster mitigation is needed. To determine the influence of the school's role in increasing students' disaster preparedness abilities in junior high schools in Ternate City. Quasi-experimental research type with a one-group pre-post test design. Data were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The research subjects consisted of teachers (seven respondents) and students (90 respondents). The data were processed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The analysis results showed that asymp. sign. (2-tailed) The teacher's score is 0.018 and the student's score is 0.000, where the value of 0.000 is smaller than p value = 0.05, so it can be concluded that there is an increase in disaster preparedness abilities among schoolteachers and students. The role of schools is very important in disseminating disaster mitigation education as basic knowledge that requires learning as early as possible, so that a culture of disaster mitigation grows both before, during, and after a disaster. There was an increase in the ability of teachers and students at school after a disaster preparedness simulation was carried out at a junior high school in Ternate City.

Abstract

Asthma prevalence has been increasing globally which is commonly treated using corticosteroid as gold standard treatment. However, corticosteroids have adverse effects and cases of corticosteroid-resistant asthma are emerging. Eucheuma cottonii (EC) has been shown to potentially attenuate inflammatory response in type I hypersensitivity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Eucheuma cottonii extract and methylprednisolone combination on IL-4, IL-10, and histamine levels in Ovalbumin-induced asthma BALB/c mice. Thirty female BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to 6 groups : (1) Sham; (2) Ovalbumin-induced asthma mice; (3) Ovalbumin-induced asthma mice treated with methylprednisolone (MP) 0.24 mg/day; (4) Ovalbumin-induced asthma mice treated with EC extract 300 mg/kgBW/day; (5) Ovalbumin-induced asthma mice treated with combination of both. Treatments were given respectively for 7 days. Plasma IL-4, IL-10, and histamine levels were measured using ELISA method. The combination group showed both the lowest IL-4 levels (89.30 ± 1.37 pg/ml) and  the highest IL-10 levels (487.03 ± 20.57 pg/ml) compared to other asthma-like mouse groups (p = 0.001). No significant difference was observed in histamine levels among all treatments (p > 0.05). The administration of a combination of methylprednisolone and Eucheuma cottonii extract significantly affected plasma IL-4 and IL-10 levels compared to monotherapies. However, there was no significant difference in plasma histamine levels compared to monotherapies.

Abstract

During pregnancy, meeting the needs of nutritious food and drinks is very much needed. The development and growth of the fetus including length and weight at birth is an illustration of one of the factors of the mother's nutritional status. To analyze and identify scientific evidence related to peanut as supplementary feeding in preventing stunting babies in pregnant women during the Covid-19 pandemic. This article is a systematic review. The PRISMA diagram was used based on a checklist to determine the articles to be analyzed. PICOT (P: pregnant women, I: peanut, C: -, O: stunting prevention, T: 2017 - 2022) and MESH. The databases used in the search for articles include Willey Online Library, Garuda, ProQuest, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and PubMed. There were 21,937 articles obtained from the search process from the database. There are 5 articles that were reviewed, from the result of the critcal assesment RCT CASP & JBI CASP check list for Quasi-Experimental. In the CASP RCT there are 11 questions, the initial 2 questions about research focus and sampling, if you have 2 answers Yes the article can be used. The JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist contains 9 questions, while the determination of the grade and level of each article uses Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice. To assess the risk of bias, the authors used the Cochrane Risk Of Bias Assessment Tool which consists of 7 domains. Giving peanuts to pregnant women has a very significant effect in preventing stunting during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is because giving peanuts as additional food to pregnant women and toddlers can increase body weight and upper arm circumference of pregnant women, improve nutritional status, increase protein and energy intake, increase milk production in pregnant women, and increase the duration of pregnancy. The limitations of some articles obtained are some articles do not do blind in on giving treatment to participants, sample size some articles found little sample.

Abstract

Avocado seeds contain a lot of starch and can be processed into foods such as avocado seed flour (TBA). TBA is classified as low-protein flour but has a lot of nutritional content, so it can be made into noodles or other food products. This research aimed to determine the acceptability of avocado seed flour nuggets with chicken, catfish, and shrimp variants. The research design in this study is a pure experiment with a simple experimental design. A simple experimental design is also called a posttest-only control group design. This research design was a nugget design with 25% avocado seed flour and 25% tapioca flour with three treatments (three flavor variants), chicken, catfish, and shrimp (50%). The results of this study showed that there were significant differences in the chicken, catfish, and shrimp nugget variants based on color categories because the results were p<0.05. In terms of texture, the test shows a p-value of >0.05, which means that there is no real difference between the three variants of avocado seed nuggets. In conclusion, this research is based on the results of the ANOVA test on avocado seed nuggets with chicken, catfish, and shrimp variants. The results obtained were that there were real differences in the chicken, catfish, and shrimp nugget variants based on the color, taste, and aroma categories. Meanwhile, in the texture category, the test results obtained were that there were no real differences between the three avocado seed nugget variants.
