<![CDATA[Output Based Learning (OutBaL): A Complete Research Learning is structured as a complete innovative approach to research learning, which does not only end up with research reports, but continues until the realization of research outputs in the form of scientific publications, such as journal articles, proceedings or monograph books are realized. With the publication of student research findings, the innovations found can be used directly by the community, both for application and further research. Complete learning to output like this is also expected to have a big positive impact on the development of higher education, both in terms of student and lecturer performance. Keywords: output based learning; complete research learning]]>

<![CDATA[The quality and quantity of nutrition in children's food needs attention because it is a support for body growth. Good nutritional intake for children needs to be supported by the mother's ability to provide good care, in terms of providing food, maintaining personal and environmental hygiene, as well as seeking treatment. This study aims to analyze the differences in nutritional parenting patterns for toddlers before and after being given nutritional counseling using BOCESTING (booklets for stunting prevention) in Mantan Island, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands. The design of this experimental research is one group pretest and posttest. The sample is 43 mothers of children under five. Differences in the level of knowledge and nutrition parenting between before and after the intervention were analyzed using paired sample t-test. The results of the analysis showed the value of p = 0.000, so it can be interpreted that there is a difference in the level of knowledge between before and after giving counseling using BOCESTING. Thus, it can be concluded that counseling using BOCESTING is effective for increasing knowledge in the context of preventing stunting by mothers of children under five. Keywords: stunting; BOCESTING booklet; knowledge]]>

<![CDATA[In Indonesia, preparation for childbirth is generally obtained through classes for pregnant women which are routinely held by the puskesmas or midwife clinic, but for the archipelago sometimes the presence of pregnant women is constrained by geographical conditions, limited transportation facilities, weather conditions and currently the Covid-19 pandemic situation. This condition can be overcome by presenting educational media for childbirth preparation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of health education using “Si-ULIN” (Ready to Childbirth) pocket book on the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women on Mantang Island, Bintan Regency, Riau Archipelago Province. This type of research was a quasi-experimental with one group pretest posttest design. The study was conducted in October 2020, involving 36 third trimester pregnant women on Mantang Island, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data about knowledge and attitudes were collected through filling out a questionnaire, then analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed that the average knowledge of pregnant women increased by 19.83 and the average attitude increased by 17.53 after being treated in the form of health education using the "Si-ULIN" pocket book. The p-value for differences in knowledge and attitudes before and after treatment were 0.000. This study concludes that “Si-ULIN” pocket book is effective in increasing the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about preparation for childbirth. It is hoped that all pregnant women with limited access to attend classes for pregnant women can use the “Si-ULIN” pocket book as an educational medium for preparation for childbirth. Keywords: pregnant women; pocket book “Si-ULIN”; knowledge; attitude]]>

Maternal mortality is still caused by delays (late detection of danger signs of pregnancy, delay in reaching health facilities and delay in getting adequate help). Delay in referral causes preventable maternal deaths. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of using the “Si-JuRNalKu” booklet (Preparation for Maternal Neonatal Referrals in the Archipelago Region) on the knowledge and attitudes of midwives in the Riau Archipelago Province in 2020.

<![CDATA[Brushing your teeth can't remove tartar, what can remove tartar is scaling. scaling can have a negative impact on the teeth, because previously the teeth were surrounded by tartar, and after scaling there is an empty space in the subgingival area and leaves a wound or scratch on the tooth tissue, causing the tooth to feel sore or painful. This study aimed to analyze the increase in dentin sensitivity after scaling at the Dental Polyclinic, Grestelina Hospital, Makassar. The design of research was one group pretest-posttest. The subjects were 30 patient, selected using accidental sampling technique. Pain before and after the procedure was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon test. The results of the Wilcoxo test showed a p value = 0.000, so it could be interpreted that there was a difference in the level of dentin sensitivity between before and after the scaling procedure. In this case, after scaling, the sensitivity level becomes increasingly severe. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the scaling action significantly increases the sensitivity of the dentin, so that the pain becomes more severe. Keywords: scaling; dentin sensitivity; pain]]>
