Abstract

Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium Leprae. According to the WHO, leprosy is one of the communicable diseases that affect the skin, peripheral nerves, and upper mucosa, and it can cause physical disabilities, if not properly handled. This study aims to determine the clinical and pathological profile of leprosy at Prof. dr. I. G. N. G. Ngoerah Central Hospital Denpasar, in 2017 - 2022. Metods: The study used a descriptive research design with total sampling from secondary data obtained from the Pathology Anatomy Laboratory of Prof. dr. I. G. N. G. Ngoerah Central Hospital Denpasar. The sample collected during the study period included 63 samples of patients diagnosed with leprosy, which were then processed using SPSS software version 26. Result: The highest number of cases was found in patients age group of 19-64 years, accounting for 55 cases (87.3%), predominantly in male patients with 36 cases (57.1%). The most common main complaint was red patches, with 43 cases (72.8%) presenting erythematous skin lesions, specifically plaques, in 24 cases (42.8%). Conclusion: Based on classification, leprosy was more frequently grouped into two classifications: WHO classification and Ridley Jopling classification. According to the WHO classification, the majority of patients were found to have the PB type, accounting for 35 cases (55.6%), while based on the Ridley Jopling classification, the BT type was more prevalent, with 21 cases (33.3%). This study is beneficial as it provides insights into the clinical and pathological profile of leprosy. Further analytical research is needed to explore the relationships between various variables

Abstract

Introduction: Pregnancy, defined as the state in which a woman carries an embryo in her uterus for approximately 38 to 40 weeks from the first day of menstruation. According to WHO standards, the normal pregnancy period ranges from 37 to 42 weeks. Prenatal care is highly recommended to reduce the risk of fetal death and complications. Folic acid supplementation during pregnancy is considered crucial in preventing neural tube defects and congenital abnormalities, with WHO recommending supplementation as a preventive measure. Despite evolving information on the benefits of folic acid, the compliance level of pregnant women remains low. Therefore, this research becomes an interesting exploration. The research aims to explore the behavior of pregnant women regarding compliance with folic acid consumption in the working area of Malawei Public Health Center, Manoi District, Sorong City. Methods: The applied method is an analytical design with a Cross-Sectional approach, conducted from May to July 2023. The study population involved 197 first-trimester pregnant women, with a sample size of 70 respondents selected using accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: Findings indicate that the majority of respondents are aged 20-35 years, unemployed, have a high school education, and income ranging from Rp1,000,000 to Rp5,000,000. 58.6% of pregnant women exhibited sufficient behavior, and 85.7% of them were classified as compliant in consuming folic acid. The chi-square test analysis shows a significant relationship between the behavior of first-trimester pregnant women and compliance with folic acid consumption, with a p-value of 0.004, indicating that the p-value is < 0.05. Conclusion: There is a correlation between the behavior of pregnant women and the extent to which they comply with folic acid consumption. The implication of this research is the need for the development of interventions or health education programs focused on improving the behavior of pregnant women to enhance compliance with folic acid consumption during pregnancy.

Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-19 virus and impacts the appearance of anosmia symptoms. Anosmia impacts reducing appetite, so it impacts fulfilling the nutritional needs of COVID-19 patients. This study aims to determine the effect of anosmia on the nutritional status of COVID-19 patients. Methods: This study is an observational study with a retrospective cohort design. The samples of this study were 48 health record data of COVID-19 patients who experienced anosmia in Karangploso View Housing, Malang Regency, from July to December 2021, selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The independent variable in this study is the incidence of anosmia felt by residents. The dependent variable is residents' Body Mass Index (BMI) before and after recovering from COVID-19 infection. This study was conducted from July 15 to August 11, 2023. Research data analysis using the SPSS version 22 program using the paired T-test and Wilcoxon test with α = 5%. Results: The paired T-test results on the weight variable showed a significant difference in the patient's weight between before and after COVID-19 illness with symptoms of anosmia (p-value = 0.000). The results of the Wilcoxon Test on the BMI variable showed a significant difference in the nutritional status (BMI) of respondents between before and after COVID-19 illness with symptoms of anosmia (p-value = 0.000). Conclusion: The condition of anosmia alters a person's food preferences, resulting in the perception of certain foods as less pleasant, bland, and unappealing. This condition results in loss of appetite, inadequate nutrient intake, and potential malnutrition. Self-efforts to prevent malnutrition due to anosmia in COVID-19 patients: using aromatic herbs and spices, eating small and frequent meals, modifying food texture and color seasoning, and consulting a dietician to develop a balanced and nutrient-rich meal plan.

Abstract

Introduction: Terminal conditions and their treatment processes initiate actions that can be taken to relieve patients of the pain they suffer. This action is carried out by accelerating the death of patients with terminal conditions, known as euthanasia. Euthanasia is still being debated regarding the legal aspects and purpose of the act as part of the patient's treatment. This study aims to determine the perspective of euthanasia as part of the treatment or therapy of terminal conditions. Methods: This research is a literature study from several databases, including Proquest, Science Direct, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar. The article search used keywords combined with booleans. 755 articles were found according to the keywords, and 12 articles were selected using Prism analysis. Results: Euthanasia is seen as a way for terminal patients who have been resistant to treatment to be free from the misery of their illness. Euthanasia in health can be carried out if it is the patient's conscious choice without coercion and has met the medical requirements. Euthanasia can be carried out in areas, regions, or countries where there are regulations, laws, or similar regulations governing the implementation of euthanasia. Conclution: With the existence of clear rules for the implementation of euthanasia, health workers or families involved in euthanasia can provide a clear understanding of how to implement euthanasia.

Abstract

Introduction: Code Blue is a hospital system created to overcome the high death rate due to respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest in hospitals. It involves all hospital components, including medical personnel, communication systems, transportation and facilities, and infrastructure. The initial principle of handling cardiac arrest is how nurses can recognize early signs of emergency so that the decision to activate code blue can be made. Knowledge about emergencies is a basic component that nurses must have in making blue activation code decisions. However, in its application, caring for cardiac arrest sufferers carried out by nurses is often still not appropriate. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between nurses' knowledge of emergencies and the decision to activate code blue. Methods: This research is a quantitative research with an analytical survey method using cross-sectional research. In this study, the non-parametric Spearman rank correlation test was carried out at the. Sampling used total sampling technique and obtained 70 respondents. Results: There is a relationship between nurses' knowledge about emergencies and the decision to activate code blue at with a significant value of p= 0,000 (p < α 0.05), r = 0.601. Conclusion: There is a relationship between nurses' knowledge about emergencies and the decision to activate code blue. Training resuscitation skills and increasing nurses' knowledge through regular training, workshops, or code blue simulations are recommended, especially for patient care units that rarely activate code blue.
