Abstract

Beginner researchers and health students need guidebooks to be able to carry out basic research well, so basic research guidebooks are very important. This study aims to review a basic research guidebook. The review is carried out using a systematic method including a summary of the book, advantages, disadvantages and suggestions for improvement. The results of the review show that in general this guidebook is good, but there are still shortcomings in terms of structure, information and lack of examples. It is concluded that this book is very important and needs to be updated immediately to eliminate existing deficiencies. Keywords: basic research; guide book; beginner researcher; health student

Abstract

Dug well water often contains organic and inorganic components, including various dangerous metals that are commonly found in it, such as iron (Fe). Therefore, this research aimed to determine the combination of aeration and filtration methods using chitosan from gonggong shells to reduce Fe levels in dug well water in the Andana Housing Complex, Tanjungpinang City. This research implemented a pre-experimental design. Water samples were obtained from 10 dug wells in the Andana Housing Complex, Tanjungpinang City. The samples were treated with a combination of aeration and filtration methods using chitosan from gonggong shells. Before and after treatment, physical conditions of the water were observed and laboratory tests were carried out to measure Fe levels. After treatment, it was discovered that the smell, color and taste disappeared. Meanwhile, there was also a decrease in Fe levels of 80.95% for gonggong snail shell chitosan with a thickness of 1 cm, 84.93% for a thickness of 3 cm, and 98.33% for a thickness of 5 cm. It was concluded that the combination of aeration and filtration methods using chitosan from gonggong shells was effective in improving the physical conditions of water and reducing Fe levels in water. Suggestions for further research include: improving this research by adding other media to reduce Fe levels or combining it with filtering media and other methods. Suggestions for the community to process chitosan from gonggong snail shells in water treatment containing Fe and offer the government to socialize the use of chitosan filtration from gonggong snail shells. Keywords: dug well; Fe; gonggong snail shell; chitosan

Abstract

The oral cavity is the most complex and easily accessible site for microbial colonization in the human body. Teeth, gingiva, tongue, and buccal mucosa have different surfaces for microbial colonization. To reduce microbes in the oral cavity, medicinal plants can be used. Medicinal plants that can be utilized include Betel Leaves and Kalamansi orange. Betel leaves are well-known in Indonesian society not only for their traditional consumption but also for their widespread availability throughout Indonesia. The study aimed to develop a new mouthwash candidate using organic materials without the addition of alcohol compounds. This research was a laboratory experimental study, involving the preparation of betel leaf extract, the production of Betel Kalamansi Mouthwash (Sirkala), and testing the Betel Kalamansi Mouthwash (Sirkala) against two types of bacteria, Streptococcus mutans and Bacillus cereus, compared to the patented Listerine mouthwash. The stages include organoleptic testing and data processing. The expected outcome of this research is the development of an alcohol-free mouthwash made from organic materials. Microbiological effectiveness test results show that the herbal mouthwash formula Sirkala can effectively eliminate the target bacteria Streptococcus mutans, with a killing ability of up to 99.999% at contact times of 10, 15, and 20 seconds. This is comparable to the results of testing Listerine mouthwash widely available in the market. However, based on testing against Bacillus cereus, the herbal mouthwash formulation Sirkala is unable to eliminate the target bacteria like Listerine mouthwash.

Abstract

Children are human resource assets. To become a quality asset, it needs to be prepared from an early age for both growth and development. Stimulation, Detection, Early Growth and Development Intervention (SDIDTK) is one of the efforts to improve the quality of children by monitoring to optimize children's development regularly and periodically from an early age. Development monitoring is carried out using the standard Pre-Screening Development Questionnaire (KPSP). The use of KPSP during and as a result of the development of KPSP in the form of an Android application is one-way, so that children, parents and the user community are passive. This research is development research (research and development) which aims to develop a standardized child development assessment instrument, namely KPSP and determine the feasibility of development results. This research uses a prototype development model. Data collection used a questionnaire sheet, expert testing was carried out by two people, namely a growth and development specialist and a media expert, data analysis was descriptive. The development of a standardized instrument is based on the form, number of questions and algorithm. The results of development research are educational game products whose suitability has been tested by experts and by product users. Evaluation of development trial results: 1) the form of the 8 components has an overall average of 91% in the good category, 2) the content of the addition of 9-10 questions to 12 questions, 3) the algorithm of the 6 evaluation components with a minimum score of 87 and a maximum score of 92 is considered positive. The average development quality results according to users in terms of functionality, efficiency and usability were 93.33% in the good category. The effectiveness test results obtained were p=0.001 (p < 0.005). So it can be concluded that the development of the Pre-Developmental Screening Questionnaire (KPSP) in the form of an educational game tool is suitable for use as a tool to help monitor children's growth and development.

Abstract

In health research, many categorical variables are found that must be analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, then interpreted. Currently, there are still many health researchers who interpret categorical variable data in the health sector in the same way as social research in general, namely focusing on the categories with the largest proportions. In fact, for health research, researchers should focus on the expression of unexpected categories. Therefore, this should be a concern for the health research community, especially in the campus environment as the first place for students and health researchers to study and apply various types of health research. This is an urgency, so that the quality of health research can be immediately improved, especially in terms of data interpretation. It was concluded that there were many errors in interpreting categorical variable data in the health sector, so this had to be anticipated from the time of education on campus. Keywords: health research; categorical variables; data interpretation; unexpected category

Abstract

Questionnaires are a data collection method that is widely used in health research. Nowadays, the validity test that is often used to assess the quality of questionnaires is the item-total correlation test. This study aims to introduce another method that is often said to be better by experts, namely factor analysis. When compared with item-total correlation analysis, factor analysis has the advantages of: 1) it can reveal the latent structure of the variables being measured; 2) can capture multivariate variations; 3) can test construct validity, namely whether the questionnaire is able to measure concepts or constructs theoretically; 4) can determine how many factors are needed to explain the variance in the data. It was concluded that taking into account its advantages, factor analysis is the best choice for testing the validity of questionnaires in health research. Keywords: health research; questionnaire; validity test; categorical variables; factor analysis
