Abstract

Introduction: Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual pain complaint among adolescent girls affecting physical, psychological, and social activities. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021, 90% of women worldwide experience dysmenorrhea, and approximately 10–15% suffer from severe cases. One of the biological indicators related to menstrual pain is Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), the average size of platelets in the blood and reflects platelet activity and inflammation. The normal range of MPV is 150.000–400.000 µL, and elevated values may indicate an inflammatory process or acute pain, such as in dysmenorrhea. Objective: To determine the effect of the combination of Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupressure and cinnamon decoction on Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) levels before and after treatment in adolescent girls with dysmenorrhea. Methods: This study used a Pre-Experimental design with a One Group Pre-test and Post-test approach. The sample consisted of 32 adolescent girls with dysmenorrhea, selected using total sampling. The intervention of Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupressure and cinnamon decoction was administered twice daily for five days during menstruation. Results: The mean value of MPV showed a decrease after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect of the combination of Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupressure and cinnamon decoction on reducing MPV levels in adolescents with dysmenorrhea. Conclusions: The combination of SP6 acupressure and cinnamon decoction was proven to be effective in significantly reducing MPV levels in adolescent girls with dysmenorrhea. This therapy may serve as a practical and safe non-pharmacological alternative to alleviate menstrual pain associated with inflammation.

Abstract

Introduction: Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual pain complaint experienced by adolescent girls. In East Java Province in 2021, around 4,653 adolescents experienced dysmenorrhea, the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea was 4,297 (90.25%). While in Bangkalan around 66.7% experienced dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea can reduce hemoglobin levels due to excessive uterine contractions triggered by prostaglandins. Non-pharmacological therapies such as Sanyinjiao point acupressure (SP6) can stimulate the nervous system and reduce uterine muscle contractions, while cinnamon contains active compounds that are analgesic and anti-inflammatory. Purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the combination of SP6 acupressure and cinnamon decoction on hemoglobin levels in adolescents with dysmenorrhea. Method: uses a one group pretest-posttest design. The study was conducted at the adolescent health post in Karang Asem Village with 32 respondents. The intervention was given twice a day for 5 days of menstruation. Results: showed an increase in hemoglobin levels from an average of 12.20 ± 0.48 gr/dL to 13.75 ± 0.66 gr/dL. The Shapiro-Wilk test showed that the data were normally distributed. The paired t-test produced a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in hemoglobin levels before and after the intervention. Conclusion: is that the combination of SP6 acupressure therapy and cinnamon decoction is effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in adolescents with dysmenorrhea, and can be a practical and safe alternative non-pharmacological treatment.

Abstract

Introduction : Hypertension is often compared to a silent ticking clock in the body, striking unexpectedly with cardiovascular disease. Among its many triggers, occupational workload during productive years is often overlooked, though it may leave scars that surface as hypertension in later life. Objectives : This study assessed the association between past workload and hypertension among elderly patients at Klinik Lisna YPK PLN Lampung. Methods : A cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out in June 2025. From 215 elderly patients, 140 were purposively selected. Workload history was measured using the NASA-TLX questionnaire, while hypertension status was obtained from medical records and blood pressure checks. The dataset was examined through Mann–Whitney U testing and logistic regression, adopting a significance level of 0.05. Results : Most respondents reported high workload (62.86%), followed by very high (24.29%) and moderately high (12.86%). Hypertension was found in 50% of participants. A significant association was observed (p = 0.000274). Logistic regression showed that high workload increased hypertension risk 4.128 times (p = 0.020), and very high workload 4.118 times (p = 0.031), compared to moderate workload. Conclusion : Workload in productive years is like a shadow that follows into old age, shaping the risk of hypertension. Incorporating occupational history into screening may open the door to earlier detection and better prevention for the elderly.

Abstract

Introduction: Anemia during pregnancy remains a significant public health concern, particularly in low-resource settings where nutritional deficiencies are common. Iron supplementation is a standard intervention; however, its effectiveness may be enhanced by nutrient-rich foods that improve iron absorption. Papaya is a local fruit high in vitamin C and folate, essential for hemoglobin synthesis. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of papaya juice supplementation alongside iron tablets on the hemoglobin levels of pregnant women. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design was conducted among pregnant women in the Depok Jaya Health Center area. Thirty-six participants were selected using purposive sampling and divided equally into control and intervention groups. The control group received only iron tablets, while the intervention group consumed papaya juice daily in addition to iron tablets for 14 days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention, and data were analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests. Results: The mean hemoglobin level in the intervention group increased substantially after 14 days, while the control group showed a more minor increase. Statistical analysis indicated significant improvements within both groups and a significant difference between the intervention and control groups (p-value <0.05; α<0.05). Conclusions: Papaya juice supplementation enhanced the effectiveness of iron tablets in improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women. As an affordable and locally available food, papaya has the potential to be integrated into maternal nutrition programs to reduce anemia in pregnancy. Further research is recommended to confirm long-term benefits.

Abstract

Introduction: Workplace safety remains a critical issue, and using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to reducing occupational hazards. Employee attitudes are important in shaping safety behaviors and compliance with protective measures. Objectives: This study examined the relationship between employee attitudes and compliance with PPE use among workers in a manufacturing company. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 35 employees selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using two validated questionnaires: one assessing employee attitudes toward PPE use (10 items, Likert scale) and another evaluating PPE compliance (8 items, 0–3 scale). Based on median values, scores were categorized as positive or negative attitudes and compliant or non-compliant behavior. Data were analyzed using frequency distributions and the Chi-Square test. Results: Most participants were male (71.4%) and aged 30–39 (42.8%). 57.1% of respondents reported positive attitudes toward PPE use, while 51.4% demonstrated compliance. Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between employee attitudes and PPE compliance (p = 0.002), with 75% of workers with positive attitudes adhering to PPE protocols compared to 20% with negative attitudes. Conclusions: Positive safety attitudes were strongly linked to higher PPE compliance, emphasizing the need to integrate behavioral and organizational interventions alongside technical measures to promote workplace safety. Although the study provides valuable insights, its cross-sectional design and small sample size limit generalizability. Future studies should adopt longitudinal approaches and include diverse populations to guide targeted safety strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal nutrition during pregnancy is critical in supporting maternal health and fetal development. However, many pregnant women do not adhere to recommended dietary practices, which may increase the risk of complications. Nutrition counseling has been proposed to improve compliance with healthy dietary behaviors. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition counseling on improving dietary compliance among pregnant women. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent pretest–posttest control group was employed. Forty pregnant women in their second and third trimesters were recruited and assigned to two groups: an intervention group receiving structured nutrition counseling and a control group receiving routine antenatal care. Dietary compliance was assessed using a validated questionnaire before and after a four-week intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests for within-group comparisons and independent t-tests for between-group differences. Results: The intervention group showed a significant improvement in dietary compliance scores after counseling (mean increase 0.85, p < 0.005), whereas the control group demonstrated no significant change (mean increase 0.15, p = 0.120). Post-intervention comparisons indicated a significantly higher compliance score in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.001; α<0.05). Conclusions: Nutrition counseling was effective in enhancing dietary compliance among pregnant women. Integrating structured counseling into antenatal care has the potential to foster healthier eating behaviors, reduce pregnancy-related complications, and improve maternal and fetal outcomes. Further research is needed to examine long-term effects and its scalability in different healthcare settings.
