Abstract

Background: Hajj is wukuf at Arafah, which distinguishes it from Umrah.. The Indonesian government as the hajj organizer is obliged to facilitate wukuf safaris for pilgrims who have physical limitations or suffer from illness with assistive devices. Meanwhile, study on Hajj Health during Wukuf at Arafat and its relation to the condition of the pilgrims who carry out Safari Wukuf is still very limited. Therefore, this study aims to describe the disease and sociodemographic factors in Wukuf safari pilgrims during the 1443H/2022M Hajj period.Method : This study was carried out as a descriptive study using secondary data from 1443H/2022M Hajj pilgrims in the SISKOHATKES application. This research includes  138 pilgrims who participated in wukuf safari. The data is processed using descriptive analysis. The ethical clearance was obtained from the UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta Ethical Committee (Number No.B-022/F12/KEPK/TL.00/04/2023).Result : This study included 138 pilgrims from 12 embarkation points, with the majority coming from East Java (27 respondents) and West Java (25 respondents). The elderly (60-70 years) made up 59.4% of respondents, and those from the first batch (arrived in Medina to Mecca) made up 65.2%. All respondents have comorbidities, with cardiovascular illness (77.5%) and endocrine diseases (73.2%) being the most common. Cardiovascular illnesses are found to be the most prevalent among pilgrims in this study.Conclusion : The pilgrims who undergo Safari Wukuf are those who have a comorbid. Most diseases are caused by cardiovascular and endocrine disorders in the elderly congregation (60-70 years) and on the departure of the first wave.

Abstract

Background: Musculoskeletal pain is a common complaint in men and women with a wide age range and in all sociocultural groups. Low back pain significantly contributes to the overall burden of musculoskeletal conditions. In 2020, low back pain (LBP) affected 619 million people globally and it is estimated that the number of cases will increase to 843 million cases by 2050, driven largely by population expansion and ageing.1 Hajj is a series of worship with high demands on physical strength, and musculoskeletal pain experienced by the pilgrims will significantly affect the worship and the pilgrims' classification of health, known as health istithaah. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence of low back pain incidence based on the age and gender of Indonesian pilgrims in periods 1438-1443 H. Methods: This descriptive study with a cross-sectional design used secondary data from Health Information System for Indonesian Hajj Pilgrims (SISKOHATKES) with a period of Hajj from 1438 H until 1443 H. Results: This study showed that the prevalence of Indonesian pilgrims in 1438-1443 H diagnosed with low back pain in Saudi Arabia based on age group was highest at 46 years and over each year. However, the prevalence of female sex was not consistently higher than male in 1438-1443 H. The percentage of the male sex (0.020%) was higher than the female sex (0.016%) in 1438 H, and the female sex was consistently higher than the male sex in 1439 – 1440 H, while in 1443 H, the male and female sexes had the same proportion. Conclusion: Indonesian pilgrims aged 46 years and over with a diagnosis of low back pain have a higher prevalence in each year of examination, and female and male pilgrims do not consistently have a higher prevalence value in the period 1439 - 1443 H

Abstract

Indonesia with the largest Muslim population causes the number of Muslims who registered to leave for the holy land to increase, including the number of elderly pilgrims in 1444 H/2023 M as many as 10,166 people from a total quota of 221,000 pilgrims.  The Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs issued several special policies related to elderly pilgrims. The program is outlined in the "Elderly Friendly Hajj Guide" which consists of several important things in providing services to elderly pilgrims both at the time of departure, while in the holy land, and when returning to the homeland. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach and secondary data, in the form of normative research through literature studies consisting of laws and regulations, books, journals, and presentation papers. Regulations related to elderly pilgrims have been stated in Law No. 8 of 2019 on the Implementation of Hajj and Umrah. However, existing laws and regulations have not specifically regulated services for elderly pilgrims, so special regulations are needed that regulate elderly pilgrims including elderly Hajj health services. The Indonesian Ministry of Health in supporting the Elderly Friendly Hajj policy seeks to improve health services to pilgrims, especially to elderly pilgrims. Policy changes related to health istithaah are needed to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality of elderly pilgrims along with the increasing number of elderly pilgrims in the coming year.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer, a malignancy in breast tissue has the highest prevalence among women globally. Around 50% breast cancer patients have experienced depression caused by the illness and its treatments, which is alarming due to its effects on the treatment effectiveness and recovery. This study is performed to know the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy in decreasing depressive symptoms in breast cancer patients.Methods:  The researchers followed a structured and systematic approach sourced from seven databases: ScienceDirect, ResearchGate, PubMed, Google Scholar, Biomed Central, Taylor & Francis Online, and Pharmacophore. The keywords used in this study were “Breast cancer” AND “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” AND “Depression”. The initial search yielded 1.190 journals. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 journals were found that met criteria. The search was limited to randomized controlled trials, assessed using the JBI critical appraisal for risk of bias.Results: The result shows positive outcomes in breast cancer patients with depression comorbidity following the implementation of cognitive behavioral therapy intervention. These positive changes include enhanced problem-solving skills in relation to psychosocial and emotional aspects, improved adaptability to various situations, and decreasing depressive symptoms.Conclusion: Cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in decreasing depressive symptoms in breast cancer patients

Abstract

Background: Ozone therapy, namely High Dose Ozone Therapy (HDO), has become a versatile medical treatment in several clinical settings. Although it is becoming more well acknowledged, there is still a lack of extensive evidence about the impact of this on hematological and biochemical indicators. This study seeks to address this void by examining the consequences of this phenomenon in a clinical environment.Method: An observational study was done, which followed a structured approach, comprising a total of 100 patients who were selected from the SMC Clinic. Hematological and biochemical indices were evaluated before and after ozone therapy sessions to analyze blood parameters. Two blood samples were obtained at two specific time points: prior to the commencement of the ozone therapy (T0) and after the therapy was finished (T1).Results: Substantial alterations were noted in both hematological and biochemical parameters after the therapy. The hematological changes observed in this study showed a substantial rise in the red blood cell count (p=0.009), hemoglobin levels (p=0.004), and hematocrit (p=0.039), along with a decrease in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (p=0.020). Notable biochemical changes were observed, including significant modifications in total plasma protein (TPP) (p=0.008) and lactate levels (p=0.001). Furthermore, there was a noteworthy decrease (p<0.05) in the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), which is a marker for oxidative stress.Conclusion: HDO exerts a regulatory influence on crucial hematological, biochemical, and oxidative stress factors. These findings indicate that HDO may have therapeutic benefits for treating chronic disorders and cancer. It can improve blood parameters and reduce oxidative stress. The decrease in markers of oxidative stress, such as MDA, suggests a potential reduction in the likelihood of problems associated with oxidative damage in chronic diseases. Nevertheless, additional research is required to validate these findings, investigate their wider therapeutic implications, and comprehend the long-term consequences and safety of HDO therapy.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) virus. The main medium of transmission of COVID-19 is droplets from the respiratory tract. One way to prevent this is to wear a mask. In the context of good and correct mask use, the duration of mask use is one of the concerns, because a study shows that microbes in the form of potentially harmful bacteria and fungi can be found in the use of masks for a long duration. In addition, dental hygiene is also a factor in the development of microorganisms after wearing a mask. Children aged 0-18 years are vulnerable to contracting Covid-19, especially from family. However, until now there have been no studies conducted to identify the hygiene of masks used by children. The aims of this study is to determine the hygiene profile of masks used by school children by identifying the type, number of microbes and knowing the factors that affect the hygiene of the use of masks by elementary, junior high and high school age children.Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study by conducting interviews and collecting masks that have been worn by elementary school students in Jakarta. The surface of the face side mask was then swabbed and cultured on Nutrient Agar media. Data were analyzed using the Mann Whitney test.Results: The subjects in this study were 62 children with an age range of 7-13 years with the majority being female as many as 34 children (54.84%). This study found that there was no significant difference between the number of colonies based on tooth brushing activities before using a mask and the duration of mask use (p 0.396; p 0.268), while there was a significant difference with dental caries (p 0.041). In addition, there was a significant relationship between the presence of pathogens in the mask and the activity of brushing teeth before using the mask (p 0.027) with an OR value of 3.709 (95% CI 1.288- 10.685), meaning that respondents who did not brush their teeth before using the mask had a 3.709 times chance of having pathogens in the mask they used. Meanwhile, in terms of the presence of pathogens, there was no significant relationship between the presence of pathogens in the mask with dental caries and duration of mask use (p 0.166; p 0.516). The types of bacteria identified were dominated by non-pathogenic bacteria in humans, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus. This could have occurred because it was affected by the pH of the skin surface which tends to be acidic, due to the free fatty acids contained in the skin.Conclusion: Dental and oral hygiene using masks is related to the presence of pathogenic microbes in the use of masks to prevent Covid-19 in children.
