Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on mental heath, and in particular on health workers on the frontlines of pandemic response efforts, particularly in the context of COVID-19 vaccination. This study aimed to highlight the association of workload and adverse stress impact on healthcare workers during COVID-19 mass vaccination and its contributed factors. The method use a cross-sectional survey using a web-based questionnaire was conducted from the end of July to the beginning of August 2021. Participants were selected from all health facilities in Indonesia, with the minimal sample size 345 required. Logistic regression was performed using STATA 16.0 to assess the association between workload and perceived stress. This study revealed that prevalence of perceived stress was 36.2% among total of 447 eligible subjects. Health workers who had high-relatively levels of workloads (OR=1.76; 1.00-3.09) and without history of stress diagnosis (OR=5.23; 1.06-5.87) were more likely to develop perceived stress. The high level of workload was associated inversely with a decreased risk of stress according to age and stress diagnosis. The conclusions is a decreased risk of stress associated with workload among health professionals.

Abstract

The incidence of dysmenorrhoea in North Kalimantan Province is reported at 72.89% for primary dysmenorrhoea and 27.11% for secondary dysmenorrhoea. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of dark chocolate consumption in reducing pain levels among adolescents with dysmenorrhoea. This research employed a descriptive case study method with a midwifery care approach, evaluating two groups: the case group, consisting of adolescent girls with dysmenorrhoea who received an intervention in the form of dark chocolate therapy for menstrual pain complaints, and a control group of adolescent girls with dysmenorrhoea who received no such intervention. The research subjects were two 19-year-old adolescent girls experiencing primary dysmenorrhoea, selected using purposive sampling from midwifery students at the University of Borneo Tarakan. The midwifery care process, including assessment, intervention, and evaluation, was conducted from 1st to 3rd August 2022. The results showed that the adolescent with dysmenorrhoea who received dark chocolate therapy experienced a reduction in pain intensity to a level 2 (mild pain). In contrast, the control subject who only received counselling, without any intervention, reported a reduction in pain to level 5 (moderate pain). It can be concluded that the adolescent with dark chocolate intervention showed a significant decrease in pain level from 7 (severe pain) to 2 (mild pain), while the control subject without intervention showed a less significant decrease from level 7 to level 5. It is recommended that this form of complementary therapy be considered for integration into midwifery care practices as part of a holistic approach to menstrual pain management.

Abstract

Children in conflict with the law who undergo rehabilitation in the Special Child Development Institution (LPKA) face not only physical confinement but also serious psychological pressure. One of the most common psychological conditions that emerges prior to their release is anxiety, which is triggered by various factors such as loss of self-control, fear of social rejection, and uncertainty about the future. Without appropriate intervention, this anxiety may hinder the process of adaptation and social reintegration after release. Therefore, understanding the psychological condition of juvenile inmates—particularly during the transition period toward freedom—is essential. This study aims to describe the causes, forms, responses, and impacts of anxiety experienced by juvenile inmates prior to release at LPKA Class I A Kupang. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The study population consisted of 38 juvenile inmates, from which five were selected as primary informants using purposive sampling based on specific inclusion criteria, such as age and readiness for release. In addition, two rehabilitation officers were interviewed as triangulation informants to strengthen data validity and provide additional perspectives. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the anxiety experienced by juvenile inmates before release is influenced by young age, low educational background, past traumatic experiences, weak self-concept, and introverted personality types. The most dominant form of anxiety found was neurotic anxiety. The most common response was moderate anxiety, characterized by behavioral and emotional symptoms such as restlessness, sleep disturbances, and excessive worry about the future. The most visible impact was mood-related symptoms, including irritability and social withdrawal. In conclusion, the most dominant cause of anxiety was the lack of knowledge and experience in preparing for the future, worsened by gender-related tendencies in boys to suppress emotions and their generally lower level of formal education. Therefore, further research and rehabilitation programs should focus on enhancing children's capacity through life skills training, sustained emotional support, and the provision of concrete information on post-release educational and employment opportunities to better equip juvenile inmates for reintegration into society.

Abstract

Ensuring efficient maintenance of medical equipment is crucial to maintaining the quality of hospital services and patient safety. However, many hospitals have difficulty carrying out this maintenance consistently. This study aims to examine the medical device maintenance system at the Malahayati Islamic Hospital in Medan and to assess the extent to which the system complies with the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). In addition, this study also aims to identify various obstacles that arise during the process of implementing the system maintenance. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach by conducting in-depth interviews with three main informants, namely the head of the medical support section, electromedical technicians, and members of the Hospital Maintenance Unit (UPRS The results of the study revealed that several maintenance activities had been carried out in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), such as preventive maintenance scheduling, annual calibration, and recording of technical documentation. However, several obstacles were found, including the limited number of qualified personnel (only one technician was available), limited maintenance budget, unavailability of special work space, and SOP coverage that did not yet cover all medical devices. In order for the maintenance system to run more effectively and sustainably, improvements are needed in aspects of human resources, supporting facilities, and more mature budget planning.

Abstract

Women are generally more susceptible to dental and oral diseases, one of which is gum inflammation (gingivitis), caused by bacterial plaque infection. Untreated gingivitis in adolescents can lead to further complications in the periodontal tissues. Gingivitis treatment can be carried out by gargling with traditional ingredients that are safe for adolescents and do not cause harmful side effects. One natural traditional ingredient that can be used is a turmeric solution mouthwash, which contains antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. This study aims to determine the changes in the gingival index of respondents suffering from gingivitis after gargling with turmeric solution at the Department of Dental Health, Poltekkes Kemenkes Padang. The research employed a quasi-experimental method by administering a turmeric solution gargle to respondents with gingivitis, and then examining their gingival index after three days of use. The study population consisted of all students at the Department of Dental Health, Poltekkes Kemenkes Padang. The sample was taken from students in the department using a judgement sampling technique. Data were analysed using a paired t-test. The results showed that before gargling with turmeric solution, the most common gingival index categories among respondents were moderate and severe (each 44.4%), whereas after gargling, the majority fell into the mild category (55.5%). The paired t-test yielded a p-value of 0.001. In conclusion, there is a significant effect of gargling turmeric solution on gingival index in patients with gingivitis. It is recommended for further research to research the optimal formulation and concentration of turmeric solution, as well as the safety of its long-term use for adolescents and other age groups.

Abstract

The condition of Temporary Waste Storage (TPS) facilities in community health centres (Puskesmas) across Tuban Regency still requires particular attention, as only 24% of them currently possess an integrated Environmental Management Statement Letter (SPPL) issued by the Department of Environment and Transportation (DLHP). This study aims to analyse the comparison of TPS management in Puskesmas against the applicable standards in 2024. It is an observational survey study using a quantitative approach. The study population consisted of 33 Puskesmas in Tuban Regency, with a sample of 8 inpatient Puskesmas and 6 outpatient Puskesmas that already have an integrated SPPL. The research instruments covered various stages of waste management, including waste segregation, storage, transportation, personal protection, and the volume of medical waste generated. Data were analysed using Fisher’s Exact Test. The results showed that the majority of inpatient Puskesmas (75%) met the TPS standards, as did most outpatient Puskesmas (83.3%). The highest amount of medical waste was found in inpatient Puskesmas, with an average of 139.38 kg, while outpatient Puskesmas produced an average of 68.83 kg. In conclusion, TPS management in Puskesmas within Tuban Regency in 2024 has generally complied with current regulations. Improving existing infrastructure and updating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are essential to support more effective hazardous waste (B3) management and to reduce the volume of waste generated.

Abstract

Adolescent girls are a vulnerable group to nutritional problems, particularly Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), which can affect reproductive health and the quality of future generations. One of the main contributing factors to CED is the lack of knowledge and attitude toward nutrition. Video media is considered an effective educational tool as it combines engaging visual and audio elements. This study aimed to determine the effect of video media on improving the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls regarding CED at SMAN 4 Samarinda. The study employed a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design with a sample of 39 eleventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of a ±10-minute educational video on CED shown twice a week. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Wilcoxon test. Results showed that most respondents were 16 years old (64.1%) and had a below-normal Body Mass Index (84.6%), indicating a risk of CED. The most common physical activity was participation in scouting (35.9%), followed by dance and volleyball. After the intervention, there was a significant increase in knowledge, from a median score of 10.00 to 13.00 (p = 0.002), and in attitude, from a median score of 31.00 to 33.00 (p = 0.001). These findings indicate that video media is effective in improving adolescents' understanding of CED. However, its effectiveness may also be influenced by age and prior access to information. Therefore, video media is highly recommended as a nutritional education tool in adolescent health programs.

Abstract

Small-scale fishermen typically engage in fishing using traditional tools and methods, which carry a high risk of occupational accidents and work-related illnesses. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and experience with the behaviour of personal protective equipment (PPE) use among fishermen in Tambakboyo Village, Tuban Regency. The research employed a survey design with a cross-sectional observational approach. The study population consisted of 200 rompok fishermen from Jetis Hamlet, Tambakboyo Village, Tambakboyo District, based on data provided by the local village administration. A total of 134 respondents were selected through simple random sampling. The independent variables in this study were knowledge, attitude, and experience, while the dependent variable was the behaviour of PPE application. Data collection instruments included questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitude, and experience, as well as a checklist form to evaluate PPE usage behaviour. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.000 < 0.05) and attitude (p = 0.000 < 0.05) with PPE usage behaviour. However, no significant relationship was found between experience and PPE usage behaviour (p = 0.615 > 0.05). In conclusion, knowledge and attitude are associated with PPE use behaviour among fishermen, whereas experience is not. It is recommended that fishermen prioritise occupational safety and health by consistently and properly using PPE before and during fishing activities.

Abstract

Acne (Acne vulgaris) is caused by colonization of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria on the skin. The use of natural ingredients with antimicrobial activity for acne medication is an attractive alternative because it is considered safer than chemical ingredients. Lemongrass shows antibacterial activity. Lemongrass acne gel preparations can inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. This study aims to formulate the preparation and antibacterial activity of lemongrass essential oil toner. The method used is an experimental method. Variations in the concentration of lemongrass essential oil (Cymbopogon nardus) were tested at 10%, 20%, and 30%. The essential oil was produced using steam distillation. The physical quality of the toner formulation was tested using organoleptic testing, homogeneity testing, pH testing, and viscosity testing. This was followed by irritation testing, hedonic testing, and antibacterial activity testing of the toner formulation. Data analysis was performed using One-way ANOVA and Post Hoc. The acne-fighting toner based on lemongrass essential oil exhibited good physical characteristics, including a slightly opaque white color, a distinctive lemongrass aroma, a liquid texture that absorbs easily into the skin, and visual homogeneity. pH and viscosity tests showed significant differences between formulations, but all remained within safe ranges. Irritation tests showed that all formulations are safe for use as they did not cause negative reactions on the volunteers' skin. Based on hedonic testing, the formulation with a 20% concentration was most preferred by panelists in terms of aroma and color. Antibacterial activity testing showed that all concentrations (10%, 20%, and 30%) were able to inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, with effectiveness increasing as the concentration increased. The 10% formulation already demonstrated moderate antibacterial activity, while the 20% and 30% formulations fall into the strong category. Therefore, the lemongrass essential oil toner is effective and safe for use as an acne treatment, with an optimal concentration of 20%.

Abstract

Adolescents who experience pregnancy are a vulnerable group in accessing reproductive health services. The implementation of continuous midwifery services or Continuity of Care (CoC) is believed to be able to improve the quality of services, but so far, its implementation in adolescent groups has not been widely studied. This research aims to explore perceptions, experiences and identify factors that support and hinder the implementation of CoC-based midwifery services.  This study uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. The research locations were in two Community Health Centers in the Central Lombok region, namely work areas that have a high prevalence of teenage pregnancy rates, namely the Sengkol and Batu Jangkih Community Health Centers. Involving 12 teenagers at various stages of pregnancy and 1 head of community health center, as well as 5 midwives implementing the CoC program. Purposive sampling technique was used to select informants. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews using semi-structured guidelines, observation of service interactions, and review of service documents conducted over 2 months. Data validity is strengthened by source triangulation and member checking. Data were analyzed using a thematic approach. The research results show that the CoC is implemented consistently and builds adolescent trust through ongoing relationships with midwives, however the quality of service is not optimal due to limited staff, lack of psychosocial approach, stigma, low health literacy, as well as transportation and economic barriers. To increase the effectiveness of the CoC, it is necessary to strengthen the service system and cross-sector support and requires in-depth studies for future researchers regarding the involvement of adolescents in the medical decision-making process, the impact of using digital technology, the relationship between socio-economic factors and the implementation of CoC, and comparing the implementation of CoC in rural areas with urban areas.
