Abstract

Stunting is one of the most common deficient conditions, estimated to have covered 800 million people worldwide, and 85% of children in the world are stunted and live in 20 countries (UNICEF, 2012). In Indonesia, the estimated prevalence of short and very short toddlers (stunting) is 36.8% (Riskesdas 2007) and as much as 37% (UNICEF, 2010). East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT) is a province that has a prevalence above the national prevalence, namely 47-58.4%. Stunting can be influenced by various factors directly intake and infectious diseases and indirectly factors of mother's education, upbringing, mother's knowledge, provision of complementary foods, history of low birth weight babies, sanitation, and family socioeconomic status. Stunting results in stunted growth and development of children, including suboptimal brain growth, causing a decrease in IQ and intelligence. Based on Riskesdas 2007, 2010 and 2013 data, it shows that the incidence of stunting in NTT and in 2014 data for Kupang Regency there were 2630 children who were stunted and 1121 children with severe stunting. Seeing this incident and based on the fact that malnutrition in the golden age of toddlers is irreversible, it is deemed necessary for various parties to take preventive measures to control stunting. Intervention is a way to prevent and reduce the incidence of stunting while at the same time having a positive influence on behavior and eating habits, food supply in the household and other factors that aim to improve nutritional status. Researchers and the team conducted this research to find out and analyze the Impact of Family Food Security Management Pattern Interventions on Stunting Incidents in Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. To answer the objectives, this research was carried out using the pre-experimental method using the one group pre test post test only design. This design does not have a comparison group (control) but makes comparative observations before and after the intervention. The results obtained for 84 stunted children from 79 households show that mentoring, training and use of the land around the house as a vegetable garden and the existence of a fish pond provided to be managed by each household have a significant effect on the incidence of stunting. Which means that there is a decrease in the stunting rate in households that own and use vegetable gardens and fish ponds as a source of food for stunted children (sig = 0.010 where <0.05).

Abstract

The increase in the burden of non-communicable diseases is in line with the increase in risk factors, including the eating and drinking patterns of the people themselves. Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in Indonesian society. The effect of coffee on blood pressure will impact public health. Coffee containing caffeine can stimulate the heart to work faster, flowing more fluids every second. The habit of drinking coffee is obtained from one cup containing 75–200 mg of caffeine. Drinking more than four cups of coffee can increase systolic blood pressure by around ten mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by around eight mmHg. This study aims to determine the effect of the frequency of coffee consumption on uric acid levels, glucose, and blood pressure among employees at UNDANA. This study uses a case-control research design. The research samples were Rectorate employees and 3 Faculties at UNDANA who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sampling technique used is Volunteer sampling. The results showed that 52% of employees consumed coffee 1-2 times daily. The frequency of coffee consumption affects cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure among employees at the University of Nusa Cendana.

Abstract

Abstract Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious infectious disease that attacks the respiratory system caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). On March 11, 2020, WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic and until October 14, 2022, 620 million confirmed cases, and of this 6 million people died (3). Generally, COVID-19 patients isolated in hospitals have higher levels of anxiety and somatization symptoms because patients think negative things so that patients become pessimistic. The immune system of COVID-19 patients is a major factor in the healing process. The anxiety experienced by the patient causes a lack of rest and a decrease in the quality of the patient's sleep (12). The condition of the COVID-19 pandemic tends to have a negative impact on several factors that affect a person's sleep quality so that researchers are interested in further researching the relationship between anxiety levels and sleep quality, especially in COVID-19 patients at Hospital Prof. Dr. W Z Johannes Kupang. This study is a retrospective analytic study using a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique in this study used a purposive sampling technique with the aim of taking samples according to the inclusion criteria. The sample in this study was determined using a formula to test the correlation coefficient so that a sample size of 50 respondents was obtained. Where the analysis used in this study uses the Spearman rank test. From 50 respondents, 27 respondents (54%) experienced moderate anxiety and 42 respondents (84%) had poor sleep quality. Spearman rank test results obtained p = 0.000 and the value of r = 0.546.There is a significant relationship between anxiety levels and sleep quality of COVID-19 patients at Hospital Prof. Dr. W Z Johannes Kupang. Keywords: COVID-19, Anxiety, Sleep Quality, COVID-19 Patients

Abstract

Staphylococcus epidermidis merupakan bakteri yang normal terdapat pada kulit manusia dan dapat menyebabkan infeksi serius apabila masuk ke dalam jaringan tubuh melalui luka terbuka atau alat medis. Penggunaan antiseptik sintetis dalam jangka panjang dapat menimbulkan iritasi kulit dan gangguan mikrobiota, sehingga mendorong dicarinya alternatif antiseptik alami yang lebih aman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji dan membandingkan efektivitas antibakteri ekstrak daun pepaya (Carica papaya) dan ekstrak daun betadine (Jatropha multifida) terhadap pertumbuhan Staphylococcus epidermidis. Kedua tanaman tersebut diketahui mengandung senyawa bioaktif seperti flavonoid, alkaloid, saponin, tanin, dan terpenoid yang berperan sebagai antibakteri alami. Metode yang digunakan adalah difusi cakram dengan konsentrasi ekstrak 25%, 50%, 75%, dan 100%. Pengujian dilakukan dengan cara menginkubasi bakteri dalam media MHA yang telah diberi cakram berisi ekstrak selama 2x24 jam pada suhu 37°C. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi 100% dari kedua jenis ekstrak menghasilkan zona hambat terbesar, yaitu masing-masing 15 mm. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak daun betadine dan ekstrak daun pepaya sama-sama efektif pada konsentrasi tinggi. Penelitian ini memperkuat potensi pemanfaatan tanaman lokal sebagai bahan antiseptik alternatif yang ramah lingkungan dan mudah diperoleh, terutama bagi daerah masyarakat yang aksesnya terbatas terhadap antiseptik komersial.
