Abstract

Hair loss can affect mental health. Natural compound-based hair treatments like candlenut fruit are becoming more popular due to their low side effects and growing scientific research on hair loss. This study aims to prove the effectiveness of candlenut fruit extract cream on the hair growth of male Wistar strain rats (Rattus norvegicus). Research method Laboratory experiment, Principle 3R (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement): Reducing Rattus norvegicus Wistar male strain samples The 20 male rats in this study will be divided into four groups. Hair growth is examined with 5%, 10%, and 15% candlenut fruit extract cream. Research data was analyzed using SPSS. The results of testing hair growth in rats with 5%, 10%, and 15% doses of candlenut fruit extract cream were normally distributed. The control group had a significant value of 0.928 > 0.05, treatment group 1 had a value of 0.579 > 0.05, treatment group 2 of 0.829 > 0.05, and treatment group 3 of 0.451 > 0.05. Candlenut fruit extract cream is effective for increasing hair growth in Rattus norvegicus. This study concludes that candlenut fruit extract cream can accelerate the development of hair follicles in Wistar strain male white rats. Due to the heated manufacturing process, candlenut extract is safe to use.

Abstract

This study is a systematic review that aims to evaluate the effect of exercise on mental health, especially in overcoming stress and anxiety. By reviewing a number of studies selected through strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, the review gathered data from a variety of sources including peer-reviewed journals, articles. The data analysis method used is meta-analysis. The results showed that physical activity can significantly reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety. This applies to different types of sports, from aerobics, yoga, to strength training. This therapeutic effect is associated with the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters that play a role in improving mood and reducing tension. In addition, exercise also improves sleep quality and aids in the regulation of circadian rhythms, which directly affect the management of stress and anxiety. The study also found that exercise intensity and duration played a role in its tiveness. Light to moderate exercise, performed regularly, is more effective in reducing symptoms of stress and anxiety compared to sporadic high-intensity exercise. Consistency and continuity in exercise routines prove to be more important than the intensity of exercise performed. However, the study also acknowledged variations in individual responses to exercise. Factors such as age, gender, initial health conditions, and personal preference for the type of exercise can affect how effective exercise is at coping with stress and anxiety in a particular individual. Taken together, these findings provide strong evidence supporting the use of exercise as a non-pharmacological strategy in managing stress and anxiety. The study encourages health practitioners to recommend exercise as an integral part of mental health treatment plans, as well as suggesting further research to explore specific mechanisms behind the psychological benefits of physical activity.

Abstract

The case of gadget addiction among children is quite alarming. Survey results from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) state that as many as 79% of children are allowed to use gadgets. In this case, the role of parents is very important in supervising children when using gadgets. Supervision in this case is by the digital parenting method used by parents in an effort to limit the use of gadgets in early childhood. This study aims to discuss some appropriate implementations in the application of digital parenting applied by parents to children's behavior in using gadgets. The method used in this research is a scoping review using two databases namely PubMed and Science Direct with Indonesian language articles, published from 2018-2022. The results obtained from 5 articles show that parents' experiences related to the implementation of digital parenting that can be used as an effort to prevent gadget addiction are the role of parents in mentoring and time management in the use of gadgets in early childhood. The conclusion of this study is that the implementation of digital parenting through the role of parents in mentoring and implementing time management can be applied in preventing gadget addiction in early childhood.

Abstract

Pre-marital sexual behavior among adolescents is still a concern in most of the countries, including Indonesia. The condition would be worse due to the discontinuation of the study, pre-marital pregnancy, and risk of sexually transmitted diseases. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of pre-marital sexual intercourse and factors associated among adolescents of school age in Kendal, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study employed 176 in grade XI from 9 classes in Senior High School 4 Bima, aged 15 to 18 years old in Bima City, Indonesia. The sample was selected by proportionate stratified random sampling. The dependent variable is pre-marital sex and the independent variables are knowledge, self-control, relationship status, role of teacher, and role of health worker. The data analysis was done using univariate (frequency and percentage) and bivariate analysis (Chi-square and simple logistic regression) using SPSS software. The result found prevalence of adolescents who were at risk of having sexual intercourse was 26.1%. The factors significantly associated with pre-marital sex are not having self-control (COR 8.5) and being in a relationship (COR 5.0). However, other variables including knowledge, the role of the teacher, and the role of health workers did not find significant association with pre-marital sex. Future studies can add more potential predictors to the study including the level of household, school, and community. The government needs to add the issue of pre-marital sex as well as the tendency to discontinue the study if pre-marital pregnancy occurs. Self-control can be strengthened by involving religious activity in school. Some recommendations for school-based sexual education programs, youth counseling services, or community interventions for the target population could work more to prevent pre-marital sexual intercourse among adolescents of school age.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus has emerged as a prevalent public health issue, experiencing a steady rise across the globe, in both developed and developing nations. Among the chronic complications frequently observed in diabetic individuals is diabetic neuropathy, characterized by recurrent infections, non-healing ulcers, and the potential for finger or toe amputations. These neuropathic complications often prolong the treatment duration, consequently impacting the length of hospitalization for patients. Neuropathic conditions in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) result in a prolonged healing process. This research aims to analyze the predictor factors contributing to the Length of Stay (LOS) in neuropathic DM patients. It employs a quantitative research approach utilizing a descriptive correlation methodology. The research was conducted from October 2023 to February 2024 at Indriati Solo Baru Hospital, with a questionnaire serving as the research instrument. The sample in this research comprised patients with Diabetic Neuropathy (DM Neuropathy) selected using the Purposive Sampling technique and totaled 127 respondents. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. The outcomes revealed that out of the seven factors examined, only three factors were significantly associated with the Length of Stay (LOS) among neuropathic DM patients: control of blood sugar levels, presence of complications in respondents, and presence of comorbid diseases in respondents. The predictor factor that exerted the greatest influence on the Length of Stay (LOS) level in neuropathic DM patients was the presence of comorbid diseases in respondents. The study primarily focuses on identifying predictor factors for length of stay (LOS) in neuropathic DM patients. However, it did not thoroughly control for potential confounding variables that could influence LOS, such as socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, severity of neuropathy, and presence of other comorbidities aside from diabetes. suggestion to the next research to focus on other variables such as healthcare, the severity of neuropathy, and the presence of other comorbidities aside from diabetes.

Abstract

Daily actions cause wounds. Normal and abnormal wounds generate inflammation. Grape (Vitis vinifera l) possesses antioxidant and wound-healing properties. The research aims to test grape seed extract’s ability to heal cuts in white Wistar rats. The study is conducted solely on white Wistar rats. The type of research used was lab-experimental quantitative research with SPSS data. The study sample consisted of white Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). In this trial, grape seed extract was given at 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg/kg BW. Animals were sliced at 2 cm length with a depth of ± 2 mm to the dermis layer and treated according to their group. Grape seed extract cream healed mice-cut wounds. On the 14th day, group P0 had 72.3% wound healing, group P1 84.3%, group P2 94%, group P3 93.9%, and group P4 100%. Thus, group P4 healed faster than P0, P1, P2, and P3. Grape seed extract cream accelerates skin regeneration and stimulates fibroblasts more than base cream, according to wound healing percentages. Grape seed extract at 200 mg/kgBW accelerated wound healing more than other treatments. The entire treatment group demonstrated considerable normalcy with a 0.200 > 0.05 score. Four homogenous test groups had a significance value of 0.200 > 0.05. The one-way ANOVA test yielded a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The research concluded that grape seed extract contains saponins, alkaloids, steroids, and flavonoids that may serve as anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants to inhibit free radicals and speed wound healing in rats.

Abstract

All living things age physiologically. Free radicals attack cells as they age, causing damage, disruption, and death. Free radicals oxidize and damage cell membrane lipids. The body needs optimum antioxidants during oxidative stress. This study hypothesizes EVOO can lower MDA and total cholesterol and repair liver histopathology in hypercholesterolemic Wistar male rats—this research with a pre-post-test control group experiment. The study found that the control group's MDA level was 0.14 ± 0.03 nmol/ml before treatment (pretest), while the group given standard meal for mice and distilled water/day/head for 14 days had a drop to 0.13 ± 0.10 nmol/ml. In treatment group 1, the average MDA level was 0.73 ± 0.03 nmol/ml before treatment, and after 14 days of high-fat, high-cholesterol meal without EVOO, the average MDA level was 0.73 ± 0.03 nmol/ml and dropped to 0.48 ± 0.10 nmol/ml. Treatment group 2 had an average MDA level of 0.22 ± 0.02 nmol/ml before treatment, but after receiving a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet and a 1cc dose of EVOO for 14 days, it decreased to 0.17 ± 0.02 nmol/ml. Before therapy, the mean MDA level in group 3 was 0.17 ± 0.02 nmol/mL. Giving mice a lot of fat and cholesterol and a two cc dose of EVOO for 14 days lowered their MDA levels to 0.08 ± 0.01 nmol/ml, ranging from 0.10 to 0.05. The research concluded that average MDA decreased significantly in treatment group 3 after mice were fed high-fat, high-cholesterol feed and given two ccs of EVOO.

Abstract

Adequacy of doctors through the deployment of public health center doctors to achieve equity in health services for the community. The deployment of public health center doctors has been implemented through various policies but there are still public health centers that do not have a doctor. This article aims to determine the strategies, challenges, and successes in the distribution of public health center doctors. Document analysis of legal documents was approached using the READ method to determine the distribution strategy of doctors. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using the PRISMA protocol from two online database search engines, where 25 articles were found that met the research objectives, inclusion, and exclusion criteria. The challenges of the distribution of public health center doctors are due to deployment for remote and very remote areas. Factors that challenge the distribution of doctors are individual factors, work factors, living environment factors, and health system factors. Recruitment and deployment of public health center doctors in remote areas need to be done comprehensively with crossector.

Abstract

This paper explores the overlapping consensus between indigenous kinship practices and the spread of diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the community’s way of life and behaviour, yet Gorontalo’s indigenous kinship-based traditions contradict the implemented health protocols. Due to their foundation in the kinship system (ngala’a), these traditions necessitate everyday interactions among individuals. The clash between local traditions and health procedures leads to the widespread transmission of Covid-19. This research argues that relying on Gorontalo’s traditions would increase the likelihood of community exposure to COVID-19, as shown by descriptive analysis. Therefore, it is fundamental to reassess the significance of traditions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
