Abstract

Wet cupping has been shown in several studies to lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients. However, the mechanism of action remains unknown, limiting its use as a complementary non-pharmacological treatment. This study aims to examine the effect of wet cupping on systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and nitric oxide levels in hypertensive patients. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest and post-test design, including a control group. The sample consisted of 40 individuals, they were diagnosed with primary grade I hypertension. The participants were divided into two groups (treatment and control). The intervention group received wet cupping therapy twice, at a 28-day interval, while continuing their antihypertensive medication. The control group only consumed antihypertensive medication. The study revealed a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure but no significant increase in nitric oxide levels. After the intervention, the systolic blood pressure in the intervention group decreased by 17.69 mmHg (p=0.010), compared to a decrease of 5.87 mmHg (p=0,108) in the control group, with a difference of (p=0.010). The diastolic blood pressure in the treatment group decreased by 11.56 mmHg (p=0.000), compared to a decrease of 0.73 mmHg (p-0.570) in the control group, with a difference of (p=0.001). The nitric oxide levels in the intervention group increased by 2.5 µmol/L (p=0.530), compared to a decrease of 0.47 µmol/L (p=0.116), in the control group, with a difference of (p=0.539).  It can be concluded that wet cupping therapy reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure but does not significantly increase nitric oxide levels in the blood of hypertensive patients.

Abstract

The World Health Organization Bulletin data show that Indonesia's compliance score for non-smokers' protection efforts was 0.1 in 2016. This research aims to analyze the need for data, information, and indicators to support the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Smoke Free Area (SFA) in Indonesia through system analysis. This is an operational research study using the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and document methods. The research series at early stage in the development of an evaluation and monitoring system, utilizing a system develop-ment cycle approach. Data is collected by the SFA task force and the community based on system components. The results of this study show that the entity responsible for conducting the monitoring and evaluation of SFA is the Task Force and community. The new potential data and information that has not been existed in the previous system are community as the potential data source of monitoring SFA, strategic data for SFA including the existence of self-service machines for selling cigarettes, and socialization of SFA regulation, monitoring and evaluation as a strategic activity to improve the result of SFA regulation, institution status of SFA and changes in smoking behavior. The information generated by the monitoring and evaluation system includes the SFA status of the institutions which is used for decision making to support the SFA program and the tobacco control program. Continuous monitoring and evaluation are important to ensure policy effectiveness, identify components for improvement or expansion of policies, and increase stakeholder and public support to strengthen or develop SFA policies.

Abstract

Wasting is a form of malnutrition that is a significant concern globally, including in Indonesia. It has a detrimental impact on children's health, the quality of human resources, and a country's overall development. This study aims to examine the prevalence and risk factors associated with wasting in children aged 6–23 months in Indonesia. The study design is cross-sectional, utilizing secondary data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey. Data collection was conducted throughout Indonesia between March and December 2022. The sample size for this study was 70,414 children aged between 6 and 23 months. Bivariate analysis (χ2 test) was employed to determine the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Furthermore, multivariate analysis utilized logistic binary regression tests to ascertain the adjusted odd ratio (aOR) risk value. The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of children aged 6–23 months in Indonesia is 7.63%, with wasting. The following factors have been identified as being at high risk of wasting: boys, children aged 12-23 months, birth weight <2500 grams, birth length <48 cm, history of exclusive breastfeeding, consumption of empty calorie drinks, history of infectious diseases, inappropriate/complete immunizations, lack of use of health services, inappropriate drinking water sources and very poor family status. Wasting is associated with several factors. Consequently, identifying these factors is of significant importance in the context of intervention efforts to prevent and address malnutrition, including wasting, in Indonesia.

The research location was the Spirit Paramacitta Foundation Denpasar, Bali Province. The research uses a qualitative descriptive. The data collection techniques are through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research subjects and informants were determined purposively. Data analysis techniques refer to the perspective of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which includes the processes: data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion and verification. The data validity techniques used are extended observations and source triangulation. The results of the research show that the psychosocial problems of PLWHA at the rejection response stage are in the form of hopelessness, suicidal ideation, and drug use, while at the self-acceptance stage, the psychosocial problems are in the form of social anxiety, feelings of inferiority, social withdrawal, social stigma, and discrimination. Meanwhile, the program for handling psychosocial problems carried out by the Spirit Paramacitta Foundation is a social support program and a social mentoring program. The social support program includes emotional, appreciation, and socialization support. In contrast, the social assistance program includes health service referrals, assistance in taking medication, and home visits. The social services provided by the Spirit Paramacitta Foundation positively impact providing life hope for PLWHA. The practical implications of this research are as a model for institutional social service practices and scientific studies in developing social support for marginalized groups.

Abstract

Potassium deficiency is known to induce muscle fatigue, necessitating the inclusion of potassium-rich foods, such as orange (Citrus sinensis) and banana (Musa textilia) in diet. Previous studies have shown that consuming 150 g and 300 g of banana is effective in preventing muscle fatigue, with orange containing 237.4 mg of potassium per 300 ml. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between lactic acid concentration and muscle tension reduction in fish auction workers after the administration of orange and banana. The study procedures were carried out with a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test group design, and the samples were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 received both orange and banana, 2 was given only orange, 3 received only banana, while 4 was not given any intervention. Supplemental observations were then conducted over 3 consecutive days, followed by data analysis using Two-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to compare lactic acid levels (independent variable) with muscle tension and strength (dependent variables). The results showed that banana significantly affected lactic acid levels but did not influence muscle tension. The combination of orange and banana produced varying levels of lactic acid and muscle tension, indicating the ineffectiveness of only banana. The intake of both fruits was also reported to influence lactic acid levels but did not affect muscle strength, suggesting the ineffectiveness of orange. These results indicated that while orange and banana could reduce lactic acid levels, the fruits did not significantly affect muscle strength or tension.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided valuable lessons for all parties, including nursing services in hospitals. To date, literature has been lacking on the role of nurse managers in managing inpatient wards for COVID-19 patients, especially in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the experiences of, and the challenges encountered by nurse managers in managing inpatient wards during the crisis. This is a qualitative study with a phenomenology design. The study used a purposive sampling technique involving four nurse managers from several hospitals in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using thematic analysis. This study yielded three themes and nine sub-themes. Nurse managers experienced panic and fear but carried out inpatient management immediately. There was also a solid commitment to protect the fellow nurses from infection. Valuable lessons include the availability of human resources, strong commitment from all lines, management support, and teamwork. Meanwhile, nurse managers encountered challenges such as the lack of personal protective equipment, frequently changing service procedures and the psychological needs of nurses.  Nurse managers obtained numerous lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic related to their capabilities in managing inpatient wards. The findings suggest the adaptability of nurse managers to similar challenging crisis encounters in the future by analysing the effects of frequent workflow changes on care quality and staff adaptation, examining the long-term psychological impact of pandemic work on nurses developing strategies to enhance organizational support for nurses including coping mechanisms and well-being related trainings and services, and to build dynamics of effective teamwork during crisis.

Abstract

The dark side of personality has begun to be studied extensively in the fields of social, personality, and organizational psychology in recent years but little is known about which of the Dark Triad traits is more malevolent in organizational context. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effects of dark triad traits on counterproductive work behavior along with the mediating role of burnout. A cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from 208 permanent employees of medical hospitals. A personality-based research model was proposed to test the hypothesis. The questionnaire consisted of a dark triad scale, a counterproductive work behavior scale, and a burnout scale. Different statistical techniques, i.e., correlation, and regression were applied to test the direct effects, and the PROCESS-macro method was applied to test indirect effects (mediation). The findings of the study revealed that dark triad traits and counterproductive work behaviors are significantly correlated (p<0.05). Narcissism is a significant predictor of counterproductive work behavior as compared to Machiavellianism and psychopaths (R2= 0.23). Furthermore, findings reveal that emotional exhaustion significantly mediates the relationship between dark triad and counterproductive work behavior (R2 = 0.66). Policymakers and higher management of public sector institutions especially focus on psychological health and organizational climate to reduce the workplace’s harmful behaviors. Finally, this study theoretically enhances knowledge of personality psychology literature by explaining the negative consequences of negative personalities in the workplace.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is still an infectious disease problem and the main cause of death in Indonesia, where there was an increase in cases from 301 per 100,000 population (2020) to 354,000 per 100,000 population (2021), with the death rate increasing by 55%. This research aims to determine the TB vulnerability cluster influenced by the main risk factors, namely TB prevalence, cure rate, immunization, population density, and population arrivals in Bukittinggi, using the Weight Product (WP) analysis method, and then describe them by mapping tuberculosis vulnerability. The findings indicate that four sub-districts exhibit the highest levels of tuberculosis vulnerability: Tarok Dipo (0.0379), Campago Guguk Bulek (0.0399), Campago Ipuh (0.0399), and Aur Tajungkang Tangah Sawah (0.0389). A multi-sectoral TB control committee comprising public works, environmental, and health agencies should be formed to organize and carry out focused actions. Establish a strong TB surveillance system that includes contact tracing, active case finding, and routine monitoring of important indicators. Create and implement specialized intervention packages for high-vulnerability subdistricts, including social support programs, housing rehabilitation, and air quality control.

Abstract

Hikikomori is a mental health condition characterized by social withdrawal, causing distress for both the affected individuals and those around them. While factors such as gender, anxiety, and depression have been linked to hikikomori, research on this condition in Indonesia remains limited. This study investigated the association between gender, depression, and anxiety with the risk of hikikomori in West Lombok, Indonesia.  A cross-sectional study was conducted at Hospital X in West Lombok, Indonesia, involving 60 patients with depression attending the Mental Health Polyclinic. The respondent ages ranged from 20 to 79 years. Data on gender, depression, anxiety, and hikikomori were collected using self-rated questionnaires and analysed with the Chi-square test.  The results showed that patients with moderate-severe anxiety had a fivefold increased risk of hikikomori (OR=5.00; 95% CI=1.42-17.57; p=0.009). Female patients were 2.5 times more likely to be at risk compared with male patients, while those with moderate-severe depression had a 2.83 times higher risk. However, this association was not statistically significant.  The study concluded that anxiety is a significant risk factor for hikikomori, whereas the association between gender and depression requires further investigation. Understanding these relationships is crucial for developing targeted mental health interventions and improving support for individuals at risk of hikikomori in Indonesia.
