Abstract

Acne Vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting global population, especially adolescents and young adults. Recent study highlighted the potential role of probiotics in managing AV by controlling the gut-skin microbiome axis. Objective: This review aimed to examine the role of human microbiota in controlling AV and explore how probiotics can contribute to the prevention and treatment of AV. Methods: A literature search was conducted from multiple databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Hindawi, Science Direct, Proquest, and Cochrane) from 2014 to 2024. The inclusion criteria is study written in English that focus on probiotics effects on AV, with a total of 1,435 articles early identified and 1,217 articles carefully screened. Results: Multiple studies showed the potential of both oral and topical probiotics in managing AV. Key findings include: Probiotics can inhibit bacteria that can cause acne like Cutibacterium acnes, some probiotic strains (e.g., Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) showed promising improvements in reducing inflammatory lesions, probiotics help controlling immune responses and reduce inflammation. Conclusion: Probiotics show promising potential as an alternative or additional treatment for AV by balancing gut and skin microbiomes. However, further research is needed to be explored to understand the molecular mechanisms and optimizing probiotic treatment strategies.

Abstract

Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) are one of the serious complications experienced by diabetes patients. Foot care for DM patients is very important to prevent foot ulcer complications. Foot care can be done by using the right shoes and also maintaining moisture on the foot skin. Wearing shoes for too long affects the moisture of the feet. Skin that is too dry or too moist can also cause damage to the skin, which can lead to ulcers. Special shoes for DM patients that have already been used still have limitations and do not monitor foot health optimally and in real-time. The aim of this research is to design diabetes shoes with a foot moisture detection system. The design of this research is a research and development approach (R&D). The stages conducted in this research consist of literature study, system design, design implementation, system testing, and analysis. Data analysis and system performance results will evaluate the sensor's function to detect foot moisture in patients while using the shoes. The result of this research is the development of diabetes shoes with a real-time moisture detection system. It is hoped that diabetes mellitus patients can independently perform foot care, one of which is by controlling foot moisture.

Abstract

Stigma towards people with mental disorders (ODGJ) is a complex global issue that has a negative impact on patient well-being, access to health services, and their healing process and social integration. This stigma includes various forms of discrimination, stereotypes, and prejudices that can significantly hinder effective treatment of mental disorders. This study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the stigma of people with mental disorders in various socio-cultural contexts. The literature reviewed in this study explores how stigma is formed, the factors that influence it, and the impact on individuals and communities. This study uses a literature review method by examining scientific articles that discuss the stigma of people with mental disorders in various regions of Indonesia in less than the last 10 years. Results: Data analysis shows that the stigma of people with mental disorders is still quite high, although there is variation between regions and community groups. The results of the study show that stigma against ODGJ is still widely found in Indonesian society. This stigma is influenced by various factors, such as lack of knowledge about mental disorders, cultural values, and social norms. This stigma can have negative impacts on PLWH, such as discrimination, social isolation, and barriers in accessing health services. Increasing public knowledge and understanding of mental disorders through education and public campaigns, as well as culturally sensitive interventions, can help reduce stigma and improve the quality of life of patients with mental disorders. The importance of understanding the stigma picture in this sociocultural context cannot be overstated because interventions designed to reduce stigma must be tailored to local conditions to be effective.

Abstract

Physical evidence (tangibles) encompasses various aspects such as physical facilities, equipment, and the appearance of personnel, all of which serve as indicators of healthcare service quality and influence patients' choices when selecting healthcare facilities. In the context of physiotherapy services, patient satisfaction often arises from their experiences and perceptions of these tangible elements. Specifically, physical evidence plays a critical role in shaping the quality of service, thereby affecting patient satisfaction levels. This relationship underscores the significance of tangible factors in assessing the overall quality of healthcare services and their impact on patient experiences. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the factors of physical evidence (tangibles) and the selection of physiotherapy services in Malang City. This research employs an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consists of residents of Malang City, with a sample size of 105 respondents selected through purposive sampling techniques. The results of the Chi-Square test revealed a significant value of 0.026 (p < 0.05), indicating a relationship between the factors of physical evidence (tangibles) and the selection of physiotherapy services in Malang City. There exists a relationship between the factors of physical evidence (tangibles) and the selection of physiotherapy services in Malang City.

Abstract

Several disinfection agents have been proven to have controversial issues with neonates. These agents continue to be used to disinfect prior to the insertion of intravenous catheters, both peripheral and central venous catheters in neonatal care rooms. Objective to identify the effectiveness of disinfection agents used prior to intravenous catheter placement among neonates and the possible adverse events. A systematic review was conducted. Databases including Pubmed, Science Direct, Proquest, Ebscohost, Clinical Key Nursing, and Wiley were searched from inception to October 2024. The eligibility criteria were neonates who needed intravenous catheter placement (peripheral or central), with experimental research design, and articles written in English. The quality of studies was assessed depending on the study design. Our study is registered on PROSPERO number CRD42024618924. 1119 articles were found. After the screening processes, we finally included 7 articles. Disinfection agents frequently used in neonatal settings in the included studies were chlorhexidine (with varying concentrations), aqueous and alcohol-based, and povidone-iodine 10%. The disinfectant used prior to the insertion of the intravenous catheter was effective in reducing pathogen colonization on the skin and preventing bloodstream infection. Even so, there were some concerns regarding the adverse effects of the disinfectant agent used. The disinfection prior to invasive procedures in neonatal care is a debated topic. Despite this, inadequate disinfection poses more life-threatening due to the risk of bloodstream infection. Key factors to consider when choosing an appropriate topical agent disinfectant prior to intravenous catheter placement in neonates include gestational age, birth weight, and skin condition.

Abstract

Mental health in adolescents is an important aspect in supporting optimal individual development during the challenges of transition. This study aims to identify the positive continuum of adolescent mental health. This is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 250 adolescents (aged 14–18 years) at SMKN 2 Garut, selected using stratified random sampling. The research instrument used was the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF). The results of this study indicate that 103 adolescents (41.2%) have moderate mental health categories. In the emotional well-being and social well-being dimensions, the majority of adolescents have low categories. Contributing factors include age, grade level, out-of-school activities, and places to confide. These findings emphasize the importance of promotional programs and optimizing the role of families to enhance adolescent well-being.

Abstract

The aging population faces increasing risks of cognitive decline, depression, and reduced physical capacity. Innovative interventions such as game-based systems, experiential learning, and eHealth solutions offer promising strategies to promote healthy aging by enhancing cognitive, emotional, and physical health among older adults. Aim: This study aims to review and analyze the effectiveness of various game-based, experiential, and digital interventions on cognitive function, emotional well-being, and physical health outcomes in elderly populations. Methods: A systematic analysis was conducted on ten studies involving older adults, including randomized controlled trials, pilot studies, cohort studies, and meta-analyses. The studies investigated interventions such as cognitive games, recollection-based occupational therapy, experiential puzzle games, GAMotion, eHealth platforms, and dance-based rehabilitation. Intervention durations ranged from two sessions to twelve months, with diverse sample sizes and settings. Result:The interventions demonstrated significant improvements in cognitive functioning, reductions in depression and anxiety, enhanced physical capacity, improved quality of life, and increased social engagement. Game-based and experiential activities showed high adherence rates, suggesting good feasibility and acceptance among older adults. However, several studies were limited by small sample sizes and non-blinded assessments. Game-based, experiential, and digital interventions effectively promote cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being in older adults. These approaches are feasible, well-received, and offer valuable strategies for supporting active and healthy aging. Future research should focus on large-scale, long-term studies to confirm and extend these findings.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Indonesia is one of the countries with high exposure to sunlight, and most of its population works outdoors, making skin protection necessary. While sunlight provides benefits, it also has harmful effects on the skin if exposed excessively. Ultraviolet rays, UVB and UVA, work synergistically to damage the skin, thus requiring prevention or protection to reduce the negative impacts of radiation. Excessive sun exposure is the main exogenous mediator of skin damage. The negative effects of sun exposure on the skin lead to various skin problems such as darkening, wrinkles, dullness, and the appearance of dark brown spots, and it can even cause skin cancer. Therefore, using sunscreen is crucial as it can prevent UV rays from penetrating the skin. This study uses a literature review design, where relevant scientific articles are analyzed to explore the potential of natural ingredients as sunscreen agents. A total of 9 articles were collected from various databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, using specific keywords related to UV protection, natural sunscreen, and bioactive compounds in plants. The selection of articles was based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, ensuring that only recent and relevant studies were considered. Natural ingredients have not yet been widely utilized in the sunscreen industry. Plants contain substances that can be extracted and serve as a potential source of sunscreen due to their photoprotective properties. This provides insight into the ability of plants to protect the skin through the compounds they contain, such as bioactive compounds like phenolic substances and antioxidants.

Abstract

Diabetic ulcers represent a prevalent complication among patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, often resulting from inadequate blood glucose regulation, neuropathy, peripheral artery disease, and suboptimal wound care. This systematic review aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for diabetic ulcers. The review utilized databases such as PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar, with only six articles meeting the eligibility criteria for analysis. The findings suggest that GM-CSF exhibits therapeutic potential by enhancing neovascularization, promoting keratinocyte proliferation, facilitating granulation tissue formation, and reducing wound diameter. These results highlight the potential of GM-CSF as a therapeutic agent for diabetic ulcers. Nevertheless, the current body of research is limited, necessitating further studies with larger populations and diverse GM-CSF administration methods to substantiate these findings.
