Abstract

Complete basic immunization plays a crucial role in public health efforts to protect infants from infectious diseases and to decrease child morbidity and mortality. Despite its importance, the coverage of complete basic immunization in the Socah Community Health Center area remained low at 44.7%, which did not meet the national standard. This situation reflects inadequate maternal adherence in providing immunizations for their children. The present study aimed to examine the association between maternal knowledge, family support, and anxiety levels with their adherence to complete basic immunization. An analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach was utilized. Eighty-three mothers with children aged 12–24 months were chosen through proportionate cluster random sampling. Data collection was conducted using structured questionnaires and immunization record reviews, and analyzed through the Chi-square test at a significance level of 0.05. Findings revealed significant associations between knowledge (p = 0.005), family support (p = 0.039), and anxiety (p = 0.007) and maternal adherence to immunization. Mothers possessing better knowledge, stronger family backing, and lower anxiety levels tended to follow the immunization schedule more consistently. The study suggests strengthening educational interventions and psychological support programs for mothers and families to enhance complete basic immunization coverage in the community.

Abstract

Diarrhea infections are a significant global health problem, especially in developing countries and can be caused by bacterial, viral or parasitic infections. Antibiotics are often given times ineffective in long-term use and risk disrupting the balance of intestinal microbiota. So that probiotics are needed that come from living microorganisms that provide health benefits if consumed in sufficient quantities. Review This article aims to review the role of probiotics in maintaining the balance of intestinal microbiota and their effectiveness in diarrheal infection therapy. Through literature analysis, several probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium have shown their ability to inhibit the growth of pathogens, such as Escherichia coli and Clostridium difficile, through nutrient competition, production of antimicrobial substances, and immune modulation. This article concludes that probiotics have great potential as an additional therapy that is safe, effective and has minimal side effects in treating diarrheal infections. However, further studies are needed to determine the optimal dose, duration of use, and effectiveness of probiotics in various populations and types of diarrhea.

Abstract

Background: Hemoglobin (Hb) is an essential protein responsible for oxygen transport and plays an important role in maintaining physical and cognitive performance. Exercise intensity is often associated with changes in hemoglobin levels; however, evidence among medical students remains inconsistent. Academic demands may influence students’ physical activity patterns and, consequently, their hemoglobin status. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between exercise intensity and hemoglobin levels among medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Pasundan University. Methods: This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 112 medical students selected through purposive sampling. Exercise intensity was assessed using a structured questionnaire, and hemoglobin levels were measured using the EasyTouch® GCHb device. Data analysis included univariate analysis and Chi-Square tests to determine the association between exercise intensity and hemoglobin levels. Results: Most participants had normal hemoglobin levels (62.5% of females and 42.9% of males) and reported moderate exercise intensity (91.1% of females and 82.1% of males). Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between exercise intensity and hemoglobin levels in females (p = 0.264) or males (p = 0.505). Conclusion: Exercise intensity was not significantly associated with hemoglobin levels among medical students. These findings suggest that hemoglobin status in this population may be more strongly influenced by other factors such as nutrition, hydration, stress, and sleep quality rather than exercise intensity alone.

Abstract

Accurate measurement of postpartum blood loss is crucial for guiding appropriate medical interventions. Digital image processing offers potential to enhance visual estimation accuracy, though refinement is still needed for sanitary pad media. This study examined the effect of body mass index (BMI) and body position on the blood surface area on sanitary pads to support the development of digital image-based measurement methods. An experimental design simulated postpartum blood loss using three BMI categories (underweight, normal, overweight) and three positions (sitting, side-lying, supine), each repeated twice. Blood surface area was measured using digital image processing and analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman tests. The sanitary pads’ absorption capacity ranged from 70–80 mL. Blood surface area did not differ significantly by BMI (p=0.597) but varied significantly by position (p=0.000). A trend of increasing surface area with higher BMI was observed. These findings suggest that both BMI and position should be considered in refining digital image-based methods for accurate and objective postpartum blood loss measurement.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of Brain Respiration on the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation (regulating emotions independently, without others present) in young adults experiencing romantic problems. Through Brain Respiration, a person can manage emotional functions, reduce stress, and stay comfortable even when interpersonal support is not always available. Thirty young adults participated in this study. Fifteen young adults in the experimental group received Brain Respiration, whereas the rest in the control group did not. The degree of interpersonal emotion regulation was measured using the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ). The results showed a decrease in the degree of interpersonal emotion regulation among young adults in the experimental group after receiving Brain Respiration. This can be seen in P(T<=t) two-tailed, which is 4.13985E-11 < alpha 0.05, and the average degree of interpersonal emotion regulation from 88.13 to 77.73. There was also no difference in the degree of Interpersonal Emotion Regulation in young adults in the control group without Brain Respiration (P(T<=t) two-tailed was 0.120590511 > alpha 0.05), and the average degree of Interpersonal Emotion Regulation in the pre- and post-tests was 85.6 and 85.8.

Abstract

One of the common discomforts during the postpartum period is cracked nipples. If not properly managed, this condition may lead to mastitis. This study aimed to analyze the effect of topical application of aloe vera and breast milk on the healing of cracked nipples. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 34 postpartum mothers with cracked nipples at Birem Bayeun Community Health Center. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant effect of aloe vera and breast milk application on the healing of cracked nipples (p = 0.000). It can be concluded that the topical application of aloe vera and breast milk has a significant effect on the recovery of cracked nipples among postpartum mothers.

Abstract

Wasting is an acute form of malnutrition in children under five, marked by low weight-for-height (W/H < –2 SD). It increases the risk of infection, impaired immunity, growth delays, and mortality. In 2020, an estimated 45.4 million under-five children were wasted globally. In Indonesia, the prevalence in 2023 was 8.5%, with 7.3% in Lampung, 2.87% in Pringsewu, and 9.49% in Pekon Pamenang. One complementary approach to improve nutritional status is pijat kepiting (kepiting massage), a combination of acupressure and pediatric massage believed to enhance appetite, digestion, and immunity. This study assessed its effect on weight gain and illness frequency among wasted children under five. Methods: A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest design was applied to 20 wasted children divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received kepiting massage in addition to standard care. Results: Weight increased significantly in both groups but was greater in the intervention group (0.66 kg vs. 0.30 kg; p=0.002). Illness frequency decreased more sharply in the intervention group (1.5 to 0.3 episodes/month; p=0.010) than in the control group (2.5 to 1.9; p=0.014), with significant between-group differences (p=0.000). Conclusion: Kepiting massage effectively improves weight gain and reduces illness frequency among wasted children.

Abstract

Premenopause is a transitional phase marked by hormonal fluctuations that often trigger physical discomfort. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of aerobic exercise in reducing somatic symptoms among premenopausal women. A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design was conducted involving 58 women aged 40–55 years, selected through simple random sampling. The intervention group received aerobic exercise three times per week for eight weeks, while the control group received no intervention. Physical symptoms were assessed using the somatic domain of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Results showed a significantly greater reduction in somatic scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (mean difference −4.6 vs. −0.5; p < 0.001). Aerobic exercise demonstrated a large effect in alleviating hot flashes, joint and muscle pain, sleep disturbances, and cardiovascular-related complaints. In conclusion, aerobic exercise is an effective non-pharmacological strategy for reducing somatic symptoms during the premenopausal transition.

Abstract

Stunting is strongly associated with impaired immune function, as chronically malnourished children tend to have weaker immunity and are more vulnerable to infection. This study aimed to examine the effect of temulawak–black cumin herbal honey on the adaptive immune system in stunted children. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used. The findings showed that the intervention significantly increased height-for-age (TB/U) in the treatment group compared to the control group (p = 0.014). Weight-for-age (BB/U) also rose significantly within the treatment group (p = 0.013), but no significant difference was found relative to the control group (p = 0.192). The supplement significantly elevated IgM levels in the treatment group (p = 0.001), though again without a significant difference from the control (p = 0.546). CD4 concentration decreased in the treatment group (p = 0.003), but the change was not significantly different from the control (p = 0.682). In conclusion, temulawak–black cumin herbal honey can improve nutritional status and enhance adaptive immunity by increasing IgM levels, although it does not raise CD4 levels and instead slows CD4 decline. However, its effectiveness in increasing IgM and CD4 concentrations compared to controls is not significant.

Abstract

Introduction Satisfaction with antenatal care is an important indicator of the quality of care that supports maternal compliance in undergoing ANC examinations. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of demographic characteristics on satisfaction with antenatal care at the Halmahera Health Center. Method An analytical observational design utilizing a cross-sectional approach was employed for this study. Data were collected through observations and questionnaires from 72 ANC patients. The analyzed variables included age, gestational age, education, income, parity, distance, occupation, and satisfaction with services. Logistic regression was used for data analysis to identify the factors that most significantly influence satisfaction with antenatal care. Results The findings revealed that 62 respondents (86%) expressed satisfaction with the services received. Age was found to have a significant effect on antenatal satisfaction (p = 0.004), as did education (p = 0.017) and occupation (p = 0.002). However, no significant relationship was found between gestational age (p = 0.966), parity (p = 0.195), distance (p = 0.607), or income (p = 0.104) and satisfaction with antenatal care. In conclusion, the factors of age, education, and occupation were identified as influential in determining patient satisfaction. It is recommended that the Halmahera Health Center adopt a more personalized service approach, tailor educational materials to various education levels, offer flexible services for working patients, and enhance communication across different age groups to improve overall satisfaction levels.
