<![CDATA[Background: Lead (Pb) is one of the heavy metals that has a negative effect on the health of the human body and the environment. This metal is included in the 20 dangerous and toxic heavy metals defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1997. One way to detect exposure to lead (Pb) in the body is to analyze the levels of lead in hair. The impact of exposure to lead (Pb) can cause neurological disorders, kidney function, reproductive system function, and nerve function.Purpose: To analyze lead levels through the hair of smelter workers at the smelting department of smelter limited company on Belitung Island, Bangka Belitung Islands Province.Method: Quantitative with cross-sectional method approach. The population in this study were workers at the smelter limited company smelting division. The object of research was 30 hair samples taken using a purposive sampling method. Data analysis was processed statistically so that the research data could be concluded as univariate, bivariate, and multivariate.Results: The Fisher's exact test showed a p-value of 1,000 so it could be concluded that there was no relationship between age and Pb levels in workers' hair. There is no relationship between working duration and Pb levels in workers' hair with a p-value > 1,000. That there is no significant relationship between length of service and Pb levels in the respondent's hair with a p-value of 0.469. There is a significant relationship between smoking habits, use of PPE, and work environment with lead levels in hair with a p-value of 0.023.Conclusion: There is no relationship between age, length of work, and years of service with Pb levels in the respondent's hair because the p-value is > 0.05. And there is a relationship between the variables of smoking habits, use of PPE, and work environment with Pb levels in hair with a p-value <0.05.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The increasing population of the elderly may cause a large burden of health problems, such as poor sleep quality and anxiety. It was reported that as many as 20 percent – 50 percent of the elderly population in Indonesia experienced sleep problems, and 35 percent of the elderly who had anxiety also had the same problems. Slow Stroke Back Massage (SSBM) may be given as a non-pharmacological to increase sleep quality.Purpose: To analyze the effect of SSBM on sleep quality and anxiety in the elderly at the Tresna Wreda As-Salaam Social Institution, Cirebon City.Method: The pre-experimental design with one group pretest and posttest design. The 15 elderly was the sample, as a total sampling technique was used. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Geriatric Anxiety Scale (GAS) questionnaires were used as instruments for measuring sleep quality and anxiety levels. The sleep quality was analyzed by Wilcoxon test and Paired sample t-test was used to analyze anxiety variables.Results: Before the SSBM, all the elderly (100 percent) had poor sleep quality and the majority (93,3 percent) had moderate anxiety levels. Whereas after the intervention, the majority (93,3 percent) had good sleep quality and mild anxiety levels (73,3 percent). The p-value of the Wilcoxon test was 0,001 for sleep quality, and the p-value of paired sample t-test was 0,000 for anxiety.Conclusion: This study indicated that there was a positive effect of SSBM on sleep quality and anxiety levels in the elderly. It is recommended for nurses to widely implement SSBM to help reduce the elderly’s anxiety and sleep problems.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Exposure to Covid-19 that occurs in pregnancy is at risk of miscarriage, IUGR (intrauterine growth retardation) and as a predictor of detection of stunted babies associated with pregnancy and postpartum.Purpose: To analyze pregnant women in the exposure to the COVID-19 infection outbreak with the risk of stunting based on the growth and development of babiesMethod: The cross-sectional population is infants aged less than 12 months and their mothers with a history of Covid-19 infected status during pregnancy. The samples were 48 two groups of infectious and non-infectious and taken by a purposive sampling technique. Researched at the polyclinic of the Covid-19 referral hospital. The statistic analyzes mean and correlation test data with Chi-Square.Results: The age range of babies at observation was 2-12 months with a mean age of 7 months. Progression score with Pre-screening Developmental Questionnaire (PDQ) lowest 2 and highest 10. Pregnant women who are not infected are at risk of stunting with the highest indicator of baby weight is normal at 70.8 percent and normal baby height at 80 percent. Pregnant women infected with Covid-19 without symptoms to moderate symptoms risk stunting with the highest indicator of baby weight being normal ranging from 46.2 percent – 80 percent and normal infant height ranging from 80 percent - 84.6 percent. Analysis of the effect of exposure to Covid-19 during pregnancy on the risk of stunting based on the baby's weight and height had no effect (p-value > 0.05). The ratio of infant development deviations in uninfected and Covid-19 infected mothers was 16.7%. The results of the analysis of the relationship between the confirmed status of Covid-19 during pregnancy and infant development are related (P value < 0.05).Conclusion: The effect of exposure to Covid-19 during pregnancy on the risk of stunting based on the baby's weight and height has no effect. A comparison found deviations in infant development in uninfected and Covid-19-infected mothers, there was an association. ]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Childbirth is a series of pregnancy processes that end with the expulsion of the products of conception. The number of births with SC is increasing every year. In Indonesia, the incidence of cesarean section in 2009 has reached 29.6%. This number certainly affects the mortality and morbidity rates in subsequent deliveries.Purpose: To identify family support and the healthcare workforce when the patient chooses a cesarean section on maternal and neonatal outcomesMethod: A case study with TOLAC (Trial of Labor After Cesarean Delivery) is a planned effort to give birth vaginally by a woman who has had a previous SC delivery. Women's perceptions related to pregnancy to delivery can influence the choice of the desired delivery method.Results: Women 31 year old with G3P1011 assisted since 17-18 weeks of gestation. Had an obstetric history with 1x caesarean section in 2016 because there was no progress in labour. Early referral planning has been carried out. Termination of pregnancy by sectio caesarea is planned at 38-39 weeks of gestation. Since the beginning of the pregnancy, the mother wanted to give birth vaginally, but the mother did not get support from her husband or family. Before the intervention was carried out, the mother experienced signs of labor and the mother wanted to try vaginal delivery but was not supported by healthcare workforce and a cito SC was performed. The baby was born healthy with a good Apgar score.Conclusion: The perceptions and beliefs that pregnant women have after SC surgery need to be balanced with the support of their families and healthcare workforce so that they are successful in undergoing trials of the normal delivery method according to preference. Mentoring activities can be a method of providing education, monitoring efforts, and early detection of complications in pregnant women with former SC operations.]]>
