Abstract

Pneumonia is one of the top 10 hospital admissions, with a case proportion of 53.95% male and 46.05% female. Pneumonia can cause complications in the oxygenation process that lead to decrease the oxygen saturation value and causes hypoxemia. The puspose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of acupressure on increasing oxygen saturation in patients with pneumonia. The design used quasi experiment pre test and post test with control group design approach. The sampel of this study was patiens with pneumonia between of 18 to 64 years, which choosing by convenience sampling. Participants in the experimenal group received auricular acupressure at the Shen Men and 5 meridian points, that is LU1, LU2, BL11, BL 12, and BL13. Data collection was done by measuring oxygen saturation using a plus oxymeter. The analysis test to determine the effect of acupressure on oxygen saturation using the Mann-Whitney Test with a significance level of 0.05, and N-Gain. The results showed that average oxygen saturation before acupressure in the intervention group was 74.00% and in the control group 73.15%. After acupressure there was an increase of saturation oxygen 23,8% in the intervention group and 21% in the control, and the effect test showed that there was an effect of acupressure on oxygen saturation (pValue 0.000). The conclusion is acupressure therapy can accelerate increaseing oxygen saturation in pneumonia patients. Therefore,  it is recommended that besade  addition standard therapy, pneumonia patients can also be given acupressure to accelerate healing.

Abstract

Anemia is a burden for women of reproductive age (15 – 49 years old) which in Indonesia takes 22.3% of prevalence based on Basic Health Survey data in 2018. Women of reproductive health have different points of view according to their subjective well-being. This study aimed to examine the correlation between anemia status and hemoglobin level related to subjective well-being among women of reproductive age. This cross-sectional study used the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 5 in 2014/15 with a total study sample were 12,818.  Subjective well-being is self-reported data with categories satisfied, somewhat satisfied, and not satisfied. Hemoglobin level is measured by blood test and if the Hb level is less than 12, it will be categorized as anemia. This study tested the analysis of univariate, bivariate (Chi-square and ANOVA), and multivariate (multinomial logistic regression) using STATA version 17.  The findings revealed that anemia and hemoglobin levels did not have a correlation with subjective well-being. However, some other covariates were found significantly associated with having satisfied subjective well-being including being married, pregnant, having poor SES, more than adequate of family life satisfaction, and adequate and more than adequate standard of life, with RRR 1.21, 1.21,0.63, 1.77, 1.19, and 1.74, respectively. It is concluded that subjective well-being is associated with not only health aspects but also social and economic. Intervention in the level of community is needed to improve the quality of life to achieve satisfied well-being. For example by joining the social group at the village level. Future study can include other health-based predictors at individual level that potentially predict subjective well-being.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of stunting reduction policies at the Biromaru Public Health Center, Sigi Regency, a conceptual model using Edward III's theory from the aspects of Communication, Resources, Disposition, and Organizational Structure. The research method used is qualitative research, namely observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Based on the study results, it can be concluded that the stunting reduction policy implementation at the Biromaru Public Health Center in Sigi Regency has not run optimally. This is evident from the inadequate implementation of the aspects of Communication, Resources, Disposition, and Organizational Structure. Several obstacles hinder the implementation of stunting reduction policies. The resources at the Biromaru Health Center in Sigi Regency are lacking, especially in terms of facilities like scales and height measuring devices. Not all posyandu centers receive these resources due to budget limitations, which vary by village. This affects the optimal implementation of the policy. Regarding the Organizational Structure and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), while they have not yet been established, all officers maintain a good working relationship, as confirmed through interviews showing their collaborative efforts in the program.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the historical and cultural values of dangke as a traditional food, its potential as a source of animal protein, and the methods of its preparation and presentation. This qualitative descriptive study used in-depth interviews with key informants, focus group discussions with primary and supporting informants, and observation to collect data. The findings of this study indicate that dangke, which was originally made from buffalo milk and enriched with enzymes from papaya sap, reflects the culinary heritage of the Massenrempulu tribe in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. However, the limited supply of buffalo milk has led to the modification of dangke using cow's milk in some parts of Enrekang. Historically, dangke has been served with rice or "pulu mandoti" to guests since the colonial era. The origin of the term "dangke" itself has roots in the Dutch language, possibly from the expression "dank je wel" (thank you) used by Dutch soldiers after tasting this delicious dish. In addition, previous studies have shown that dangke has a high protein content, making it a valuable food source to support the diversification of animal protein sources. In conclusion, dangke has a high cultural value for the people of Enrekang and is a traditional food with high nutritional value, especially in terms of protein content.

Abstract

The limitations of CKD patients require families to care for family members who suffer from CKD. This research analyzes family experiences in caring for family members with CKD. This research method uses a descriptive design with a scoping review approach. Article searches used four journal databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and Google Scholar. Articles that met the inclusion criteria, including a publication range from 2015 to 2022 in English and Indonesian and free access to the full-text PDF, were evaluated before selection. The research results based on a review of 10 articles show that family members have different responses in caring for CKD sufferers. Acceptance of known kidney disease indicates coping with solid efforts. The family will also continue to fight to get the best treatment for the patient's recovery. Apart from that, the family and the patient can make decisions regarding the continuation of the patient's therapy program. Families need emotional support from the surrounding environment. Psychological responses will increase along with the lack of family acceptance of the condition of the patient being treated.

Abstract

Immunization is an effort to actively create/increase the body's immunity to protect children from various diseases. However, Indonesian society's understanding of immunization still varies especially parental knowledge and behavior, which will be the main factor in immunization completeness for children, thereby reducing immunization coverage and immunity gaps. This research aims to determine the effect of promotion and counseling on the knowledge and attitudes of mothers with children over 2 years in the urban areas of Kaliombo and Manisrenggo, the working area of the Southern City Health Center. The research method is Quasi-Experimental with a one-group pre-post test approach. The sampling technique used Total Sampling with a sample size of 64 people. Data was collected in the form of knowledge and attitude questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tests, Wilcoxon and multiple linear analyses. The research results related to knowledge show a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). In contrast, attitudes show a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), which means there is a significant increase in knowledge and attitudes after basic immunization counseling and education. Based on the linear regression test results, it shows that if knowledge increases by one score, then attitude also increases by 0.668. This research concludes that promotion and counseling impact knowledge and attitude.
