Abstract

Background: Banyuwangi Regency is rich in agricultural resources, including red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) and Barlin banana (Musa balbisiana Colla cv. Barlin), which have promising potential as renewable biomaterial sources. However, comprehensive metabolomic information on these local commodities remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical characteristics and metabolite profiles of red dragon fruit and Barlin banana pseudostem using qualitative phytochemical screening and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS). Methods: Both plant materials were taxonomically authenticated before extraction. Qualitative phytochemical screening was performed to detect flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, and saponins. Metabolite profiling was conducted using UHPLC-HRMS, and compound annotation was performed using the mzCloud™ and ChemSpider™ databases with a mass tolerance of ±5 ppm. Results: Phytochemical screening showed that the red dragon fruit extract contained flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins, whereas the Barlin banana pseudostem extract contained only saponins. UHPLC-HRMS detected 185 and 220 chromatographic peaks in the red dragon fruit and Barlin banana pseudostem extracts, respectively. Metabolite classification identified 100 metabolites in the red dragon fruit extract and 117 metabolites in the Barlin banana pseudostem extract, predominantly comprising amino acids and derivatives, organic acids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids, fatty acids, terpenoids, nucleosides, vitamins, and other metabolites. Conclusion: The integration of qualitative phytochemical screening and UHPLC-HRMS provided comprehensive metabolite characterization of two important Banyuwangi agricultural resources. The generated metabolomic dataset provides a valuable scientific basis for the future development of sustainable biomaterials and other biomedical applications.

Abstract

Introduction: Perceived stress among residents of long-term care institutions may be influenced by demographic, health-related, and institutional characteristics. However, evidence regarding factors associated with perceived stress among institutionalized older adults in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to determine perceived stress levels and examine their associations with participant characteristics among residents aged 60 years and older at Dewanata Cilacap Elderly Social Service Home. Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study included 47 residents aged 60–90 years. Participants were recruited through complete enumeration of eligible residents. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Indonesian version of the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Items 4, 5, 7, and 8 were reverse-scored before calculating the total score. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 26. Categorical variables were summarized using frequencies and percentages, while numerical PSS-10 scores were summarized using measures of central tendency and dispersion. Associations between perceived stress categories and participant characteristics were examined using Fisher’s exact test or the Fisher–Freeman–Halton exact test. Pearson’s correlation was used to examine the relationship between age and total PSS-10 score. Results: The mean participant age was 71.15 ± 7.20 years. The mean PSS-10 score was 11.91 ± 5.34, with a median of 12, an interquartile range of 8.5–16.5, and a score range of 0–22. Thirty-three participants (70.2%) had low perceived stress, 14 (29.8%) had moderate perceived stress, and none had high perceived stress. The PSS-10 demonstrated a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.628. No statistically significant associations were found between perceived stress category and sex, age group, educational level, chronic disease history, marital status, length of institutional stay, or reason for institutional residence (all p > 0.05). Age was also not significantly correlated with total PSS-10 score (r = −0.023; p = 0.879). Discussion: Most residents had low perceived stress, and perceived stress was not significantly associated with the demographic, health-related, or institutional characteristics examined. Psychological and social factors not assessed in this study, including loneliness, social support, coping ability, autonomy, and adjustment to institutional living, may better explain variations in perceived stress. The findings should be interpreted cautiously because of the small sample, single-institution setting, and cross-sectional design.

Abstract

Background: Emergency Installation (IGD) services must be fast, precise, safe and structured to ensure safety and increase patient satisfaction. However, obstacles were still found in the form of unclear service flow, waiting times and sub-optimal communication. Objective: This research aims to analyze the influence of LANCAR (Fast and Structured Services) innovation using the Checklist method on patient family satisfaction at the emergency room at Syarifah Ambami Rato Ebuh Bangkalan Regional Hospital Methods: The research used a Posttest Only Control Group design with a quasi-experimental approach on 54 respondents consisting of 27 checklist groups and 27 non-checklist groups. Satisfaction was measured using the SERVQUAL questionnaire and analyzed by the Mann–Whitney U test Results: The results showed that the average satisfaction score of the checklist group was higher than that of the non-checklist group (78.67±2.48 vs 67.59±6.82). The Mann–Whitney test showed significant differences (Z = -5.105; p = 0.000) Conclusion: The implementation of the LANCAR innovation using the Checklist method has been proven to be effective in increasing patient family satisfaction through services that are more structured, consistent and in accordance with procedural operational standards. Keywords: SMOOTH, checklist, patient family satisfaction, quality of care, emergency room.

Abstract

Background: The lips are highly sensitive to environmental exposure and require protection to maintain moisture. Lip balms containing SPF provide both moisturizing effects and protection against sun-induced damage. Aloe vera (Aloe vera L.) gel is a promising natural ingredient due to its lignin and flavonoid content, which help prevent dehydration and provide UV protection. Objective: This study aimed to formulate Aloe vera gel lip balms and evaluate their SPF values. Methods: The method included formulating lip balm preparations with varying concentrations of Aloe vera gel, followed by physical quality tests covering organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, melting point, and spreadability, and continued with SPF value determination. Results: The results of the physical quality evaluation showed that all lip balm formulations containing 0%, 30%, 35%, and 40% Aloe vera gel met the established physical quality standards for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, melting point, and spreadability. The SPF value of the lip balm with 0% Aloe vera gel was 3.078, indicating minimal protection. The 30%, 35%, and 40% concentrations had SPF values of 19.238, 20.672, and 22.399, respectively, indicating ultra protection. Conclusion: Lip balm formulations containing Aloe vera gel at concentrations of 0%, 30%, 35%, and 40% met the quality requirements for good lip balm preparations and demonstrated SPF values with ultra protection

Abstract

Background: The first two years of life represent a critical period for child growth and development, during which adequate nutrition is essential for optimal growth and health. Maternal nutritional knowledge may influence feeding practices and contribute to children's nutritional status and developmental outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between maternal nutritional knowledge and the nutritional status and development of children aged 6–23 months. Methods: A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at the Tuminting Community Health Center in Manado City. A total of 120 mothers with healthy children aged 6-23 months were selected as respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a nutritional knowledge questionnaire, standardized anthropometric measurements, and an age-specific developmental screening instrument. Data analysis was performed using chi-square. Results: The findings indicated that the majority of mothers possessed a high level of nutritional knowledge (77.5%). Most children exhibited normal nutritional status across the weight-for-age (80.8%), length-for-age (70.0%), and weight-for-length (75.8%) indicators, with the majority also showing age-appropriate development (87.5%). A statistically significant relationship was identified between maternal nutritional knowledge and the length-for-age indicator (p = 0.013). However, no significant relationships were observed between maternal knowledge and weight-for-age (p = 0.785), weight-for-length (p = 0.364), or child development (p = 0.190). Conclusion: Maternal nutritional knowledge was significantly associated with length-for-age, but not with weight-for-age, weight-for-length, or child development. These findings suggest that maternal nutritional knowledge may contribute to long-term linear growth, while child development is influenced by multiple factors beyond nutritional knowledge alone.
