Abstract

The incidence of COVID-19 has shown a downward trend in recent months, but transmission is still possible; it is because COVID-19 is still a pandemic, and there may be new variants that can cause an increase in cases. Countermeasures are carried out not only through prevention efforts by health protocols but also through vaccination efforts. Vaccines have proven to impact efforts to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic positively. Accepting the COVID-19 vaccine is one of the keys to fulfilling vaccination achievements. Sei Penuh City is one of the areas in Jambi Province where COVID-19 vaccination coverage is still low, at 53.6% as of August 28, 2022. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Sei Penuh City. A cross-sectional design study was applied and conducted in Sei Penuh City in July 2022. The population of this study were all people aged ≥18 years who live in Sei Penuh City, with a sample of 300 people. Sampling used a 2-stage cluster method using Probability Proportional to Size (PPS). Villages in this PPS are villages with COVID-19 vaccine coverage second dose less than 50%. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically. The results showed that respondents who received a second dose or more of the vaccine were 54.7%. Multivariate analysis showed that health protocols (aPR=1.64; 95%CI: 0.99-2.70) and education level (aPR=1.38; 95%CI: 1.02-1.86) were associated with receiving a second dose of vaccines. This study found that health protocol was the most dominant risk factor for COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Socialization and education still need to be carried out, especially about the urgency of the COVID-19 vaccine in facing the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, people with low education levels need more attention in increasing the achievement of COVID-19 vaccination. Keywords: COVID-19 vaccine, education level, health protocol, preventive behaviour

Abstract

Breastfeeding is the most appropriate feeding method for babies, so the Government issued a policy of Implementing 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding to support successful breastfeeding. However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is still low. Pre-lacteal feeding, culture, and common knowledge are the causes of the failure of exclusive breastfeeding. In addition, the mother's perception of insufficient milk supply is the most common reason for stopping breastfeeding. Therefore, an oxytocin massage intervention is needed to increase milk production. This study aims to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on breastfeeding production in postpartum mothers in the work area of the Bengkulu City Health Center. Quasi-experimental research design with control group post-test only. The treatment group was postpartum women who were given oxytocin massage, while the control group was given endorphin massage. A sample of 34 people was taken by purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through questionnaires and observation sheets. A breast pump measures breastfeeding production. Data were analyzed univariately, bivariate with independent t-test, and multivariate with Ancona. The results showed that there was an effect of oxytocin massage on milk production p=0.00. The mean difference was 1.54. There is an effect of IMD status on breast milk production p=0.00, and there is an effect of frequency of breastfeeding on milk production p=0.00. Oxytocin massage is not the most dominant variable affecting breastfeeding production. It is recommended that health service providers provide breastfeeding education continuously during pregnancy, perinatal, and until the baby is two years old by involving the family and using digital information technology that can reach all targets. Keywords: Oxytocin massage, Breastfeeding Production

Abstract

The impact of fracture is discontinuity and tissue damage. If not treated immediately will cause complications. There needs to be management that can prevent complications. Pain experienced by patients can be known by measuring using a pain scale.  If not treated immediately will cause complications. There needs to be management that can prevent complications. Surgical management includes closed reduction, fixation, open reduction, Open Reduction External Fixation (OREF), and Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF). Distractions have the best effect for short periods of time, for example during invasive procedures or while waiting for analgesics to work. Distraction techniques can be applied to patients with acute pain, chronic pain and anxiety patients. The role of the nurse is to provide physical health services to the patient, namely as a care giver and to the patient's psychological health, namely as an educator. Nurses must be able to provide comfort so that patients avoid pain.  So, nurses should combine pharmacological and non-pharmacological management such as providing distraction techniques according to SOP to reduce pain. This research is a quantitative research with a quasi-experimental research type. With the treatment group by measuring the level of pain before the distraction technique was carried out with the control group by measuring the level of pain after the distraction technique was carried out. Statistical test results showed that there were differences in pain levels before and after the distraction technique was performed with a p value of 0,017 (0.15). Distraction technique is effective for reducing the pain level of post ORIF extremity fracture patients at Sundari General Hospital in Medan. Should be able to apply more distraction techniques as non-pharmacological therapy to reduce pain in accordance with established operational standards. Keywords : Distraction technique, Fracture, Pain

Abstract

Health issues are a concern of the current government. Health issues are in line with the economic development that the government is aggressively prioritizing. This economic improvement certainly requires a variety of supporting infrastructure. One of them is road infrastructure. Adequate road infrastructure will certainly increase traffic activity. Traffic activity is one of the sources of heavy metal pollution in soil. The contents of motor vehicle emission gases is lead. Lead (Pb) is one of the metal elements that can cause poisoning in humans. This research is important to determine the concentration of soil which is an area of agricultural land that is overgrown with rice. This research was conducted to investigate lead concentration in roadside farmland soils according to roadside distance in the street of Lubuk Pakam – Medan km 32.  A total of 13 topsoils samples were collected with a distance of 0 m, 5 m, 20 m, 40 m, 50 m, 60 m, 80 m, 100 m, 120 m, 150 m, 200 m, 250 m, and 300 m from the roadside. The study found that the consentration  of lead in the soil was in the range of 2.33-11.40. There is no correlation of lead concentration  in soil with distance from highway  with r =0.093 and  p=0,762. The land farm lead-contaminated if used to grow crops that will be consumed is at risk of lead-contaminated Keyword: Lead concentration, Traffic activity, Pollution
