Abstract

Fish smoking activities generate substantial amounts of smoke from incomplete combustion, exposing workers to various air pollutants, including carbon monoxide (CO), which may lead to adverse respiratory health effects. Prolonged inhalation of CO can result in the formation of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), reducing oxygen transport in the blood and potentially causing subjective health complaints such as cough, dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath. In Penatarsewu Village, Sidoarjo, a major center of traditional fish smoking, a high prevalence of respiratory complaints among workers has been reported, yet evidence regarding the role of COHb in these complaints remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of carboxyhemoglobin levels on subjective complaints among fish smoking workers in Penatarsewu Village, Sidoarjo. This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 57 fish smoking workers, from which 25 female workers were selected using purposive sampling. COHb levels were measured through laboratory blood analysis, while data on subjective complaints, age, duration of daily exposure, and tenure were collected through structured interviews. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to assess the influence of COHb and other related factors on subjective complaints. The results showed that all respondents had COHb levels within normal limits (≤3.5%), with values ranging from 0.40% to 1.72%. Despite this, 92% of workers reported experiencing subjective respiratory complaints. Statistical analysis revealed that COHb levels and tenure did not significantly affect subjective complaints (p>0.05). In contrast, age (p<0.001) and duration of daily exposure (p=0.003) showed a significant association with subjective complaints. In conclusion, subjective respiratory complaints among fish smoking workers were significantly influenced by age and length of exposure rather than COHb levels. These findings highlight the importance of regulating working hours and considering workers’ age to reduce health risks associated with fish smoking activities.

Abstract

Labor pain during the active phase of childbirth remains a significant clinical and psychological challenge for mothers and is often associated with increased anxiety, prolonged labor, and negative birth experiences. In many maternity settings, pain management is still limited to basic relaxation techniques, while evidence-based non-pharmacological alternatives such as aromatherapy are not routinely implemented. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of neroli (Citrus aurantium) aromatherapy in reducing labor pain intensity during the active phase of the first stage of labor. A quasiexperimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design was conducted at RSUD dr. Sayidiman Magetan. A total of 60 laboring mothers in the active phase (cervical dilatation 4–6 cm) were recruited using consecutive sampling and equally allocated into an intervention group (neroli aromatherapy) and a control group (breathing relaxation). The intervention consisted of inhalation of neroli essential oil via an ultrasonic diffuser for 45 minutes under standardized environmental conditions. Labor pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test and the Mann–Whitney U test. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in pain intensity in the intervention group, with a mean VAS score decreasing from 6.77 to 5.43 (mean difference = 1.33; p < 0.001). In contrast, the control group experienced a slight increase in pain intensity, with mean scores rising from 6.57 to 6.97 (mean difference = +0.40; p = 0.005). Post-intervention comparisons between groups showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001), indicating superior pain reduction in the aromatherapy group. In conclusion, neroli aromatherapy is an effective, safe, and non-pharmacological intervention for reducing labor pain during the active phase of childbirth. Its integration into routine midwifery care may enhance maternal comfort and support a more positive labor experience.

Abstract

Children with visual impairments are particularly vulnerable to poor oral hygiene due to limitations in visual perception and motor coordination, which hinder their ability to perform effective self-care. As a result, parental involvement plays a critical role in maintaining their oral and dental health. However, limited parental knowledge regarding appropriate oral health practices may contribute to inadequate hygiene outcomes in this population. This study aimed to examine the relationship between parents’ knowledge of oral and dental health maintenance and the oral hygiene status of visually impaired students at SMPLB-A and SMALB-A YPAB Surabaya. A descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 24 visually impaired students and their parents, selected through total sampling. Parental knowledge was assessed using a structured and validated questionnaire covering tooth-brushing techniques, appropriate brushing times, and dental care practices. The oral hygiene status of the students was evaluated clinically using the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S). Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test to determine the association between parental knowledge and children’s oral hygiene status. The results revealed that the majority of parents had a moderate level of oral health knowledge (58.3%), while only 33.3% demonstrated high knowledge. None of the students achieved a “good” oral hygiene status; 33.3% were categorized as “fair,” and 66.7% as “poor.” The mean OHI-S score was 3.49, exceeding the national target value of ≤1.2. Statistical analysis showed a strong and significant correlation between parental knowledge and oral hygiene status (ρ = 0.848; p < 0.05). In conclusion, higher parental knowledge of oral and dental health maintenance is strongly associated with better oral hygiene outcomes among visually impaired children. These findings highlight the need for targeted oral health education programs for parents to improve preventive care and oral health status in this vulnerable group.

Abstract

Dental plaque accumulation is a common oral health problem among pregnant women and is associated with anincreased risk of gingivitis, periodontitis, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. In Bunder Village, Pamekasan, preliminaryobservations showed a high plaque index among pregnant women, highlighting the need for accessible and safe plaque-controlinterventions. Natural mouthwash derived from herbal plants such as betel (Piper betle) and basil (Ocimum basilicum) leaves hasbeen suggested to possess antibacterial and antiplaque properties, yet comparative evidence in pregnant populations remainslimited. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of betel leaf and basil leaf decoctions in reducing dental plaque index amongpregnant women. This quasi-experimental study involved 32 pregnant women selected using Slovin’s formula and randomlyassigned into two equal groups. Each group rinsed with either a boiled betel leaf or basil leaf solution prepared using standardizedprocedures. Plaque index was measured before and after rinsing using the Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) Index. Datanormality was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, while within-group and between-group differences were analyzed using pairedand independent t-tests, respectively. Both betel and basil leaf decoctions significantly reduced plaque index (p < 0.05). The betel leaf group showed a greater mean reduction (Δ = 1.23 ± 0.75) compared to the basil leaf group (Δ = 0.85 ± 0.65), with the between-group comparison indicating a significant difference favoring betel leaf (p = 0.003). In conclusion, both herbal decoctions effectively lowered plaque index among pregnant women; however, betel leaf decoction demonstrated superior antiplaque efficacy.These findings support the potential use of betel leaf decoction as a low-cost, safe, and natural alternative mouthwash in prenataloral health programs. Further studies with longer follow-up and standardized phytochemical assessment are recommended.

Abstract

Gingivitis is one of the most common oral health problems encountered during pregnancy, largely influenced by hormonal changes that heighten gingival vascularization and inflammatory responses. Preliminary findings from the Berbek Public Health Center, Nganjuk, indicated a high prevalence of gingivitis among pregnant women, reflecting inadequate oral hygiene practices and limited awareness. This situation underscores the need to understand behavioral determinants, particularly motivation, that may influence oral health status during pregnancy. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the association between pregnant women’s motivation to maintain oral health and the occurrence of gingivitis in the working area of Berbek Public Health Center in 2025. A descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 30 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Motivation levels were assessed using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire, while gingival status was examined using the Loe and Silness Gingival Index. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test to determine the relationship between motivation and gingival condition. The results revealed that 56.7% of respondents had moderate motivation and 43.3% had strong motivation for maintaining oral hygiene. Gingivitis assessment showed that 60% of participants exhibited mild gingivitis, while 40% had moderate gingivitis. Spearman’s test demonstrated a strong and statistically significant correlation between motivation and gingivitis (ρ = 0.714; p = 0.001), indicating that higher motivation was associated with better gingival health. In conclusion, motivation plays a crucial role in shaping oral health behaviors during pregnancy and is significantly related to the incidence of gingivitis. Strengthening maternal motivation through targeted health education and integrated maternal–dental health programs is essential to reduce gingivitis risk and support optimal pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the quality of commercial control materials and homemade lyophilisates using the sigma metric method for BUN and creatinine parameters in a primary clinical laboratory. This cross-sectional study conducted 20 examinations on both types of control materials. The results showed that for the BUN parameter, homemade lyophilisates had a sigma value of 1 (unacceptable), while the commercial control material had a sigma value of 2 (poor). For the creatinine parameter, both homemade lyophilisates and commercial control materials had a sigma value of 3 (marginal). There was a significant difference in quality between commercial control materials and homemade lyophilisates for the BUN parameter, so homemade lyophilisate cannot be used as an alternative to commercial control materials. However, for the creatinine parameter, there was no significant difference in quality between the two control materials, so homemade lyophilisates can be used as an alternative to commercial control materials. Thus, this study shows that homemade lyophilisates can be an effective and economical alternative for creatinine parameters, but not for BUN parameters. This research can help primary clinical laboratories to develop more effective and efficient quality control strategies.

Abstract

Background: Menopause generally occurs in women aged 45–55 years. Various factors influence the age of menopause, including the possibility of early onset (premature menopause). Menopause has a significant impact on women's quality of life, ranging from physical changes and psychological disturbances to an increased risk of degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis and heart disease. This study aims to analyze the determinants influencing menopause among women aged 40–60 years at the Kamboja Posyandu in Tambakmas Village. Methods: This is a quantitative study using an analytic survey approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 200 women aged 40–60 years at the Kamboja Posyandu, from which a sample of 134 women was selected using proportional simple random sampling. Independent variables included age, genetics, lifestyle, general health, medical interventions, and environmental exposure. The dependent variable was menopause status. Data were collected using an interview questionnaire and analyzed using multinomial logistic regression with a 95% confidence level and a significance threshold of α = 0.05. Results: The findings indicate that increasing age, a family history of early menopause, unhealthy lifestyle, medical interventions, and environmental exposure significantly increase the likelihood of experiencing menopause. Analysis showed that five out of the six independent variables—age, genetics, lifestyle, medical interventions, and environment—had a statistically significant influence on menopause (p < 0.05). General health did not show a significant association with menopause (p = 0.840). Conclusion: The study concludes that the occurrence of menopause among women aged 40–60 years in the study area is influenced by a combination of age, genetic factors, lifestyle, medical interventions, and environmental conditions. These findings can serve as a basis for designing more targeted community-based intervention strategies, particularly in the form of menopause health education for healthcare workers and policymakers. The study is expected to serve as a reference to enhance women’s awareness and preparedness in facing the menopausal transition in a healthy and informed manner.

Abstract

ematoxylin-Eosin staining begins with deparaffinization. Deparaffinization aims to remove the remaining paraffin in the tissue and xylol is a commonly used deparaffinization material but the use of xylol has a bad impact on health and also the environment because of its toxic nature besides the price of xylol is relatively more expensive. A more natural material that is not harmful to the body and the environment is needed as an alternative to xylol. Sunflower oil is a type of vegetable oil that contains oleic acid. The oleic acid content in sunflower oil has a chain of carbon atoms that is non-polar and water insoluble so that it can dissolve paraffin which is non-polar and hydrophobic. This study was conducted at Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Airlangga University, Veterinary Farm Center and the Cytohistotechnology Laboratory of the Medical Laboratory Technology Department of the Surabaya Ministry of Health Polytechnic also this study was conducted from January - May 2025. which examined the differences in the quality of mice kidney histology preparations using xylol and sunflower oil in the deparaffinization process with experimental research methods and the sample size obtained using the federer formula was 24 preparations and divided into 4 groups including xylol, sunflower oil at 50oC for 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes. The data were statistically processed with the Kruskal Wallis non-parametric test and the results showed that Ho was accepted (P = 0.350) so it can be concluded that there is no significant difference between the preparations deparafinitation with sunflower oil and xylol in hematoxylin eosin

Abstract

Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent oral health problems among preschool children, largely driven by inadequate knowledge and poor oral hygiene habits. Preliminary assessments at TK B Dharma Wanita Talang II Tulungagung revealed that 42% of students possessed insufficient knowledge regarding dental caries, highlighting the need for engaging and developmentally appropriate educational interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Dental Health Monopoly (MOKEGI) game in improving preschool children’s knowledge of dental caries. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group was employed, involving 46 preschool children who were divided equally into intervention and control groups. Knowledge levels were measured using a validated and reliable questionnaire, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney U test. The findings demonstrated substantial improvement in knowledge within the intervention group after exposure to the MOKEGI game, with all children (100%) achieving a “good” knowledge category post-intervention. In contrast, the control group showed only moderate improvement, with 56.5% reaching the “sufficient” category and none attaining the “good” category. Statistical results confirmed significant differences within the intervention group (p < 0.001) and between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.001). These outcomes indicate that MOKEGI is highly effective as an interactive, game-based educational tool for improving preschool children’s understanding of dental caries. In conclusion, the MOKEGI game provides an engaging and effective medium for enhancing oral health knowledge among young children and holds potential for integration into early childhood health education programs. Future research should assess long-term knowledge retention, behavioral changes, and applicability across diverse school settings.
