Abstract

The government has established the Neonatal Maternal Audit (AMP) program to assess the provision of health services to mothers and children, aiming to address obstetric and neonatal emergencies. Despite the implementation of AMP in Langsa City, the rates of maternal and infant mortality remain high. This study aimed to evaluate the AMP program in Langsa City. A cross-sectional survey research design was used, conducted at the Langsa City Health Office. The subjects of the study included the Mother and Child Program Holders at Puskesmas and hospitals, as well as the Maternal Perinatal Audit Program Implementation team at the Health Office. The findings revealed that the implementing team had an average tenure of 5 years, an average age of 38 years, and a D3 Midwifery education. They had received training on AMP and AMP-SR, possessed an AMP implementation manual, and conducted verbal autopsies, but only a few performed medical records. Strengthening materials and training on AMP-SR for program implementers in Langsa City is necessary. The implementation of the AMP program in Langsa City has shown positive aspects in terms of manpower and case selection, but areas requiring attention and improvement were also identified. Increasing the number of concurrent positions and providing comprehensive materials to program implementers will enhance their capabilities and effectiveness.

Abstract

Context: A smear layer can form on the root canal walls during mechanical root canal preparation. Bacteria that cause root canal infections can grow on the smear layer, which can also lead to micro-leakage in the top one-third of the root canal. Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is a necessary and effective substance for root canal irrigation. In addition to being a cationic nitrogen agent having a quaternary ammonium group, BAC is a combination of alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, which has broad spectrum antibacterial activity. The goal of this study was to assess the efficacy of 1% BAK and 17% EDTA on the smear layer of the apical 1/3 and to measure the degree of cleanliness that BAK produced compared to 17% EDTA. The research was conducted utilising a scanning electron microscope (SEM) approach in a laboratory setting. Findings: SEM analysis of the sample smear layer yielded BAK 1% 0.667 and EDTA 17% 1.667 according to the Garberoglio and Becce scoring system. Kruskal-Wallis analysis of the data showed that the 17% EDTA group had an average range of 11.50, the 1% BAK group of 5.58, the 2.5% NaOCl group of 11.92, and the negative control group of 21.00. In conclusion, when comparing the groups with and without the negative control, the 17% EDTA group had a p value of 0.0069, the 1% BAK group a p value of 0.0019, and the 2.5% NaOCl group a p value of 0.0013, all determined by Mann-Whitney data analysis. Thus, it is evident that BAK 1% is more efficient than EDTA 17% in affecting the smear layer at the apical 1/3.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of midwives' knowledge regarding the use of acupressure on pregnant women at the Ingin Jaya Community Health Center, Aceh Besar. The research method employed in this study involved surveying and analyzing data from a number of midwives stationed at the Ingin Jaya Community Health Center. The survey was conducted using a specially designed questionnaire to measure midwives' knowledge about various aspects of acupressure including how to perform it, its usage, benefits, contraindications, and knowledge of acupressure points on pregnant women at the Ingin Jaya Community Health Center, Aceh Besar. The study found that midwives' knowledge of using acupressure on pregnant women in Indonesia is still limited. The majority of midwives have insufficient understanding of various aspects of acupressure such as its techniques, benefits, and relevant acupressure points. This limited understanding may affect the quality of prenatal care they provide. After the intervention, the majority of respondents achieved a post-test percentage above 75%, with some even reaching 90%. This indicates the significant effectiveness of complementary acupressure therapy in improving the respondents' conditions after the intervention. There was variation in the percentage of improvement between pre-test and post-test scores among the respondents. However, overall, it is evident that most respondents experienced consistent improvements in post-test percentages.

Abstract

Background: Emesis gravidarum is a common condition of nausea and vomiting that occurs during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. Effective management to reduce these symptoms is important for improving the quality of life of pregnant women. Lavender aromatherapy has been identified as a possible alternative method to reduce emesis gravidarum. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the existing scientific evidence on the use of lavender aromatherapy in reducing the symptoms of emesis gravidarum in the first trimester of pregnancy. The research method involved a thorough literature search in various sources such as electronic databases, journals, and other related articles. Inclusion criteria were set to select studies relevant to the research topic. The results of the literature search were systematically analyzed and synthesized. The findings of this systematic review showed that the consistent use of lavender aromatherapy resulted in a significant reduction in the symptoms of emesis gravidarum in the first trimester of pregnancy. Several studies reported a decrease in the intensity of nausea and frequency of vomiting after using lavender aromatherapy. However, there was variation in the study designs and sample sizes, which affected the strength of the available evidence. Based on this review, lavender aromatherapy can be a promising choice as an additional therapy to reduce the symptoms of emesis gravidarum in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Abstract

The installation of safety signs in the palm oil factory of PT. Sewangi Sawit Sejahtera is still insufficiently attended to by the workers, as evidenced by the presence of several outdated safety signs that are no longer clearly visible, rendering the conveyed messages unclear. The general objective of this study is to determine the Influence of Safety Signs on Workers' Safety Behavior at the Palm Oil Factory of PT. Sewangi Sawit Sejahtera in 2021. The significance of this research lies in its role as a platform for exchanging information and providing education on workplace accident prevention. This study adopts a Quasi-Experimental Non-Randomized Control Group Pretest and Posttest Design, involving 40 workers in the factory. The research was conducted between August and September 2021. The findings indicate a significant impact on workers' safety behavior before and after the intervention in the Experimental group, as evidenced by the significance level of the paired t-test. Logistic Regression analysis reveals that the most influential variable on safety behavior is the presence of safety signs, followed by tenure, supervision, and age. Therefore, it is recommended that efforts be made to enhance socialization activities and training to improve workers' knowledge regarding workplace safety and health, along with repairing or replacing unclear or damaged safety signs within the company premises.

Abstract

The study conducted in Sriamur Village, Tambun Utara District in 2023 aimed to investigate factors influencing infertility among women of reproductive age (PUS). Infertility, defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse or inability to carry a pregnancy to term, was examined in relation to age, lifestyle, BMI, stress, and menstrual disorders. Using quantitative cross-sectional research, the study analyzed data from 16 infertile PUS using a total sampling technique. The results indicated significant relationships between several factors and infertility. Regarding age, both husbands and wives showed no statistically significant relationship. Similarly, lifestyle, BMI, stress, and menstrual disorders exhibited no significant association with infertility among both husbands and wives. However, the study concluded that there was a relationship between age, lifestyle, BMI, stress, and menstrual disorders with the occurrence of infertility among PUS in the study area. This research contributes valuable insights into understanding the multifactorial nature of infertility and highlights the importance of addressing various aspects such as lifestyle choices, stress management, and menstrual health in the context of reproductive health. By identifying these factors, healthcare professionals can develop targeted interventions and support strategies to help individuals facing infertility in Sriamur Village and similar communities.

Abstract

The dengue virus is spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. In Indonesia, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) still has a relatively high morbidity and fatality rate. Therefore, initiatives are required to reduce the incidence by controlling mosquito populations, using natural larvicides as one method. Ylang-ylang flower (Cananga odorata) is among the vegetation that may be used as larvicides because it contains flavonoids, saponins, tannins, linalool, and eugenol. This study aims to investigate the impact of administering ylang-ylang flower extract (Cananga odorata) as larvae of Aedes aegypti mosquito instar III. This work used a post-test only control group experiment conducted in a laboratory experimental at the Entomology Laboratory of the Institute of Tropical Disease (ITD) Airlangga University. There were six research groups used in this study, namely negative control, the control using ylang-ylang flower extract concentration with 0,1%; 0,75%; 1,5%; 2,25%, and 3%. The data analysis using larval samples were obtained from the Institute of Tropical Disease (ITD) Airlangga University. According to the analysis, a level of 3% the highest average mortality or death of larvae was 100%, and the lowest average death of larvae at a concentration of 0,1% was 3,75%. The Kruskal-Wallis test findings revealed substantial variations (p<0.05) in each group, and the Mann Whitney U post hoc test revealed a substantial variations in concentrations of 0,1% with 0,75%; 1,5%; 2,25%; 3% and concentrations between 0,75% to 1,5%, 2,25%, and 3%. Considering the findings of the study, it can be determined that the ylang-ylang's flower extract (Cananga odorata) has an influence as a natural larvicide of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes instar III.
