Abstract

The validity and reliability of the Nusantara Student Fitness Test instrument remain uncertain, prompting this study to investigate its efficacy. This research aims to assess the validity of various components of the test, including Body Mass Index (BMI), V Sit and Reach, 60-second Sit Up, Squat Thrust, Pacer Test, and overall reliability of the Nusantara Student Fitness Test (TKPN) instrument. A descriptive research method was employed, involving 109 junior high school students from Padang City across 11 districts. The sample comprised 143 students actively participating in extracurricular sports from SMP N 18 Padang City and SMP Adabiah Padang City. Data analysis utilized correlation tests (rxy) at a significance level of 0.05. The findings reveal several key outcomes: (1) BMI provided insights into students' nutritional status, with the majority exhibiting good nutrition; (2) The V Sit and Reach test exhibited validity (0.314 > 0.163), albeit not particularly useful; (3) The Sit Up test demonstrated acceptable validity (0.647 > 0.163); (4) The Squat Thrust test showed clear relevance (0.444 > 0.163); (5) The Pacer Test displayed very good validity (0.814 > 0.163); (6) The TKPN instrument exhibited medium reliability (0.676). These findings contribute to a better understanding of the Nusantara Student Fitness Test instrument's effectiveness and underscore the importance of validity and reliability assessments in fitness evaluation tools.

Abstract

Early marriage is a social issue that affects various aspects of community life, including individual and family welfare. Knowledge, education level, and economic status have been identified as factors that may influence of early marriage in the region. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge, education level, and economic status with early marriage in married couples in Sindangheula Village, Serang Regency in 2023. This study used a correlational method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was 79 respondents selected using a random generator system where all names within the population were included in the system and then randomly chosen according to a predetermined quantity. Findings indicated a minority (20.3%) reported early marriage, while a significant proportion exhibited poor knowledge (35.4%) and low education levels (41.8%). Moreover, a minority (29.1%) reported poor economic status. Statistical analysis revealed significant relationships between knowledge (pv = .025), education level (pv = .001), economic status (pv = .002), and early marriage. Multivariate analysis further confirmed these associations (R2 = .154, adjusted R2 = .120, F = 4.540, Pv < 0.05), with a positive β value (0.263). The research results also revealed a positive β value (0.263). It is recommended that village officials can provide information and health education to adolescents and parents about marriage as well as provide motivation and beneficial activities for the development of the Sindangheula Village, Serang Regency.

Abstract

Freshwater cultivation is an economic endeavor for welfare purposes and is currently facing problems. This problem occurs because pellets are not economical and cause environmental pollution. The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of using cow dung as fish pellets on Abiotic, Biotic, and Cultural (Human Habits). This research is a Quantitative Experimental Research using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) of 4 treatments with 6 replications, treatment in the form of feeding 3 g/day (Treatment 2) 6 g/day (Treatment 3) 9 g/day (Treatment 4) and Control (Treatment 1) uses chemical pellets 9 g/day. This design is used to see the effect of organic fish pellets on fish growth (biotic) such as fish weight and length. The hypothesis of this research is H1: There is an influence, H0: There is no influence. Hypothesis H1 is accepted if F count > F table. Then a measuring instrument is used to measure environmental parameters such as temperature, DO, pH, and Ammonia. The results of this research reveal: there is an influence of fish pellets on fish growth (Biotic), the use of cow dung pellets is still safe in the aquatic environment (Abiotic), cow dung pellets provide socio-economic value such as increasing income and creating new productive habits by making it a job. This research concludes that the use of cow dung pellets reduces environmental pollution, is economical, and is beneficial for humans. It is recommended that this research be further deepened and linked to other sciences.

Abstract

The World Health Organization defines sanitation as the provision of facilities and services for the disposal of human excreta, such as urine and feces, including family latrines. In 2019, the percentage of families in Banten province using latrines was 70.5%, lower than the national average of 72.3% for those using permanent sanitary latrines. Sanitation is related to environmental health, which influences public health. Poor sanitation conditions have negative impacts on various aspects of life, ranging from the degradation of community environmental quality to the contamination of drinking water sources, the increase in diarrheal diseases, and the emergence of other illnesses. Diarrheal diseases are potential endemic diseases with outbreaks often resulting in fatalities in Indonesia. The prevalence of diarrhea in 2018, diagnosed by healthcare professionals, was 6.8%, and based on self-reported symptoms, it was 8%. This study aims to determine the relationship between the quality of family latrines and the occurrence of diarrhea in the Mekarsari Community Health Center area, Lebak Regency, using a cross-sectional study design. The study population consists of all families with family latrines (goose-neck latrines) in the Mekarsari Community Health Center area, with a sample size of 88 families. Statistical chi-square tests were conducted at an alpha level of 0.05. The results indicate that nearly all respondents (93.2%) were male, predominantly in the productive age group (96.6%). The majority of respondents had low levels of education (67%), and almost all were non-civil servants (97.7%). Monthly income for most respondents (73.9%) was below the Lebak Regency Minimum Wage (< Rp 2,944,665). A proportion (17%) of families still had low-quality latrines, and some family members suffered from diarrhea (13.6%). There is a significant association between latrine quality and the occurrence of diarrhea (p=0.005). Families with low-quality latrines are over seven times more likely to suffer from diarrhea compared to those with high-quality latrines (OR=7.44). Empowerment through health education and support is necessary to enable families to understand, accept, and adopt behaviors to improve, construct, and maintain family latrines, thus ensuring diarrhea-free households.

Abstract

Obesity causes many severe diseases. Thus, prevention efforts must include regulating body weight, increasing physical condition, or using natural goods like plant medicine in pure compounds with antioxidants. This study examined whether red and white dragon fruit extracts (Hylocereus polyrhizus and undatus) reduced body weight in obese Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). This type of research is quantitative, with true experiments. The samples used were 24 Wistar mice. The research treatment groups were negative control, positive control, group 3 with Red Dragon Fruit Extract 100 mg/BW/day, and group 4 with White Dragon Fruit Extract 130 mg/BW/day. The research procedures started with the acclimatization of test animals, phytochemical processes, increasing the body weight of mice, monitoring body weight, and testing leptin and FFA levels. The research data was processed using SPSS. This study found that extracts from red and white dragon fruit extracts reduced FFA better and substantially impacted leptin levels (p = 0.010). The normality and homogeneity tests showed significance > 0.05 in each group pre-and post-test. The pre-test data probability was 0.369, and the post-test probability was 0.164 > 0.05. One-way ANOVA test results: pre-test data 0.325 > 0.05, 0.000 < 0.05. Red Dragon Fruit Extract at 100 mg/BW/day and White Dragon Fruit Extract at 130 mg/BW/day helped the treatment group lose weight, while the control group remained obese Wistar rats. The research conclusion shows that red and white dragon fruit contains tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, and saponins, which can help reduce the weight of obese Wistar rats.

Abstract

Chemoport is an implanted device, placed in the central venous system especially for infusion of chemotherapy drugs in oncological diseases that can reduce vascular inflammation during chemotherapy because this device is implanted under the skin, making IV (intravenous) drug administration easier and reducing pain. Nurses as officers must be able to provide more specific care and therapy based on patient needs, and must understand the lives of cancer patients and their families. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of nursing interventions and nurse competence in the use of chemoport in cancer patients.  The research method used a systematic review with article searches on five trusted journal databases, such as EBSCOhost, ClinicalKey Nursing, Sage Journal and Science direct. Article analysis using the PRISMA method. The results showed that there were ten articles that fit the criteria for articles related to nursing interventions and nurse competence in the use of chemoport in cancer patients. All articles used quantitative research methods with a randomized control trial design. The conclusion is that nursing interventions and nurse competence in the use of chemoport in cancer patients, among others, are divided into nursing interventions to reduce pain, namely virtual reality interventions, giving Valsalva maneuvers, skin stimulation, and giving local anesthesia. While nursing interventions to reduce anxiety include virtual relity interventions, visual blocking information interventions and patient education and nurse competence through increasing nurse knowledge and providing training.

Abstract

Pregnant women are vulnerable to COVID-19 due to the physiological adaptive changes and immunosuppressive state during pregnancy. Various studies on COVID-19 patients have shown the prognostic value of elevated D-dimer. Pregnant women with COVID-19 experience hypercoagulability and hyperfibrinolysis, as indicated by the increased D-dimer levels that exceed normal limits during pregnancy. This study aims to determine the comparison of D-dimer levels based on the COVID-19 severity degree in third-trimester pregnant women at dr. Doris Sylvanus Hospital Palangka Raya. This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. It used the medical record data of third-trimester pregnant women confirmed positive for COVID-19 who underwent D-dimer examination at dr. Doris Sylvanus Hospital, Palangka Raya, during November 2020–October 2021, and limited to be generalized to places that has similarity with this hospital. Descriptive analysis in this study used the Kruskal Wallis test and Mann Whitney test. There is a significant difference in D-dimer levels based on the severity of COVID-19 with mild and moderate severity as indicated by the p=0.000 value. In mild and severe severity, the value of p=0.001 means that there is a significant difference, whereas in moderate and severe severity showed a value of p=0.101 which means there was no significant difference. Mild severity has median 1.21, Moderate 2.71 and Severe 4.20. D-dimer and SpO2 data showed non-normally distributed data. It is an important topic to be studied because D-dimer levels can be the parameter for patients with COVID-19 severity status.

Abstract

Outdoorsy folks get UV radiation. Acute UVB decreases hyaluronic acid. Antioxidants can prevent photoaging by delaying, stopping, or eliminating oxidation-induced molecular damage. Black rice extract ointment (Oryza sativa l. indica) was tested on the histological features of skin and collagen in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) subjected to ultraviolet B radiation. This study is lab-based. The research samples were Wistra strain white mice (Rattus norvegicus). Reaserch with treatment groups is Precondition variables (UVB rays), independent factors (10%, 20%, and 30% black rice extract ointment), and fixed variables (dermis collagen and histological picture of mice exposed to UVB rays) were the research variables. The research procedures included the accreditation of test animals, black rice extract, ointment, phytochemical screening, treatment, histopathological skin tissue preparations, and histopathological observation. All the data was examined with SPSS. The investigation revealed that 30% black rice extract ointment had the highest collagen density (mean and SD = 55,959 ± 2.5). All groups K-, K+, P1, P2, and P3 had significant data normality tests of 0.200 > 0.05. The homogeneity p-value is 0.06 > 0.05, and the sig (2-tailed) value is 0.000 < 0.05 in the t-test. The alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and steroids in black rice extract increase glutathione peroxidase levels in mice, which helps collagen density when exposed to UVB light at 125 mg/kg BW.
