Abstract

Health is essential for overall well-being and productivity, and oral health is closely linked to general health. Issues in the mouth can affect the whole body and human quality of life. At Sanggar Alang-Alang, for the preliminary observation 10 children showed an average OHIS score of 3.2 and a Debris Index of 2.1—both in the poor category. This study aimed to examine the relationship between dental health knowledge and the Debris Index among 48 street children using a cross-sectional correlation design. Data were collected through questionnaires and oral examinations, then analyzed with the Spearman Rank test. Results showed no relationship between dental health knowledge and the Debris Index. Although most adolescents had good knowledge, their debris levels remained high. This indicates that knowledge alone is not enough to ensure good oral hygiene; proper attitudes and behaviors must also support it

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that can affect an individual's ability to maintain oral hygiene. This condition may lead to dental and oral health problems, such as gingivitis. An examination conducted in August 2024 on 30 patients with schizophrenia showed that 93% of them experienced gingivitis, indicating a high prevalence of gingivitis among patients with schizophrenia. This study aims to determine the relationship between oral hygiene and gingivitis in patients with schizophrenia at Karangkembang Regional Public Hospital, Lamongan Regency, in 2025. This research uses an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design involving 77 patients with schizophrenia. Data were collected through oral examinations to assess the patients’ oral hygiene and gingival condition. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman rank correlation test to determine the relationship between oral hygiene and gingivitis in patients with schizophrenia, with a significance level (α) = 0.05. If the analysis result shows a ρ-value < 0.05, then H1 is accepted. If the ρ-value > 0.05, then H1 is rejected. The result of the Spearman rank test showed a ρ-value of 0.000. This value is smaller than the predetermined significance level (α = 0.05), thus H1 is accepted. This means there is a relationship between oral hygiene and gingivitis in patients with schizophrenia at Karangkembang Regional Public Hospital, Lamongan Regency, in 2025. The correlation coefficient (ρ) is 0.531, indicating a strong relationship between oral hygiene and gingivitis in patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract

Bullying among school-aged children remains a significant public health and educational concern that negatively affects psychological well-being, emotional stability, self-esteem, and socialization abilities. Inadequate social skills may hinder children’s ability to interact effectively with peers and adapt to their social environment. Interactive educational approaches, such as role-playing, are considered beneficial in promoting communication, cooperation, empathy, and self-control among children. However, empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of role-playing methods in improving socialization skills among elementary school students in Indonesia remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of the role-playing method on the socialization skills of school-aged children at SDN Ngoro 3 Mojokerto, Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The participants consisted of 30 fifth-grade students selected through a total sampling technique. The intervention involved three role-playing sessions conducted weekly. Socialization skills were measured using the teacher version of the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of 0.05. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ socialization skills following the intervention. Before the intervention, most students (66.67%) were categorized as having moderate socialization skills, whereas after the intervention, the majority (90%) achieved high socialization skill levels. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Z = -4.796; p = 0.000). These results indicate that the role-playing method effectively enhances children’s social interaction, cooperation, and self-control. In conclusion, role-playing is an effective and practical educational strategy for improving socialization skills among school-aged children. Integrating role-playing activities into school learning programs may contribute to fostering positive peer relationships and reducing social difficulties among elementary school students.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) among adolescents represents a significant public health challenge, largely driven by lifestyle factors and insufficient awareness of preventive measures during early life stages. Despite existing health education efforts, traditional media such as leaflets often fail to effectively engage this population, limiting their impact on knowledge and behavioral change. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of animation book-based health education compared to conventional leaflet methods in enhancing knowledge and attitudes toward diabetes mellitus prevention among adolescents at Muhammadiyah 1 Junior High School, Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups, 64 ninth-grade students were allocated evenly into an intervention group receiving animation book education and a control group receiving leaflet-based education. Pretest and posttest assessments were conducted using structured questionnaires to measure changes in knowledge and attitudes. Statistical analysis applying paired and independent t-tests revealed a significant improvement in both knowledge and positive attitudes in the intervention group compared to the control group (p = 0.001). Notably, the animation book group demonstrated a substantial increase in knowledge scores, with the percentage of students exhibiting “good” knowledge rising from 40.6% to 93.8%, while the control group showed only marginal gains. Attitudinal improvements followed a similar pattern, indicating that the animation book medium facilitates more effective cognitive and affective engagement. These findings suggest that animation book-based education serves as a superior and innovative pedagogical tool for school-based health promotion aimed at early diabetes prevention. Integration of such interactive media can enhance adolescent health literacy and support preventive behaviors, ultimately reducing the future burden of non-communicable diseases.

Abstract

NBF 10% is the most commonly used fixation solution in histopathological examinations, because this solution can maintain tissue quality as its initial state. The results of preparations from tissues fixed using 10% NBF have good quality when microscopic observation is carried out. However, routine exposure to NBF can have negative effects such as eye, nose, and throat disorders, NBF is also carcinogenic as stated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). So, it is necessary to need an alternative to 10% NBF as a fixation substance to minimize the adverse effects. Based on research that has been done, it can be stated that natural sweeteners have the potential to be an alternative fixation solution. This study aims to evaluate 10% sucrose as an alternative to 10% NBF for hepatic tissue fixation. Histological quality was assessed based on the staining of the cell nucleus, cytoplasm and uniform color in the preparation. The type of research used was experimental. This research was conducted at the Farma Veterinary Center as a validation site and test animal provider, the Cytohistotechnology Laboratory of the Department of Medical Laboratory Technology as a research site, and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Unair as a place for excision of mice. The test material used was mice hepar with 6 replications per treatment group. After observation, the data were processed using Kruskall-Wallis and Mann-Whitney in the 10% sucrose group for 12 hours and 24 hours showed comparable results with 10% NBF for 24 hours because based on the mann whitney test, the value was obtained (p>0.05). At 10% sucrose for 6 hours showed results that were not comparable to 10% NBF for 24 hours because the man whitney test obtained a value of (p <0.05). So that 10% sucrose shows its potential as a safer alternative.

Abstract

Fine motor development in preschool children is a fundamental element that underpins independence, readiness to learn, and future academic success. However, delayed development in this area is still commonly found, requiring stimulation that is not only educationally appropriate but also enjoyable for children. One approach that is considered effective is the mosaic method, an art activity of arranging tesserae into visual works. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using mosaics made from grains and paper in improving fine motor skills in children aged 5 to 6 years. This study applied a pre-experimental research design through a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 30 children were selected as participants using simple random sampling. During a two-week period, the participants received an intervention in the form of mosaic-making activities six times. Data collection was carried out using observation instruments that had been tested for validity and reliability. Initial evaluation results show that 60% of children are at the developing as expected (DaE). However, after routine stimulation, there was a significant jump in performance, with 80% of children achieving the category of very well developed (VwD). Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test reinforced these findings with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) and an effect size of 0.875, which is classified as a very strong impact. This scientifically proves that the mosaic method using natural materials such as grains and paper has a major positive impact on honing children's eye-hand coordination. Therefore, this method is highly recommended as an effective, economical, and recreational alternative stimulation medium in early childhood education systems and home care patterns.

Abstract

Public hospitals frequently face challenges in maintaining competitiveness due to sub-optimal service delivery and marketing strategies. This study examines the influence of the 7P marketing mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion, People, Process, Physical Evidence) on public interest in utilizing outpatient services at RSUD Bengkalis. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, this research integrates quantitative analysis via multiple linear regression with qualitative insights derived from fishbone diagrams. Primary data were collected from general-paying patients through structured questionnaires, followed by in-depth qualitative interviews. Quantitatively, simultaneous analysis reveals that all seven marketing mix elements significantly influence visit interest, with an Adjusted R² value of 81%, indicating high predictive power. Partially, Product, Place, People, and Physical Evidence exert a positive and significant impact on patient interest. Conversely, Price, Promotion, and Process show no statistically significant effects. Qualitative findings clarify that the insignificance of Process and Promotion stems from operational barriers, specifically inefficient manual queuing systems and restricted promotional outreach for specialized services targeting general patients. In conclusion, while the hospital’s core service offerings, accessibility, personnel, and infrastructure successfully attract patients, administrative inefficiencies and weak marketing limit its full potential. To enhance public interest and institutional competitiveness, the management of RSUD Bengkalis must prioritize the digital transformation of administrative and registration workflows, streamline the patient flow, and consistently improve staff hospitality to foster sustainable patient loyalty.

Abstract

Variations in Basic Life Support (BLS) knowledge and practical competence among students at Poltekkes Kemenkes Surabaya may influence their readiness to respond effectively in emergency situations. Differences in educational background and departmental focus contribute to disparities in students’ understanding and performance of BLS procedures, highlighting the importance of implementing appropriate educational strategies. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of lecture-based learning and educational video methods in improving BLS knowledge and practical skills among students. This study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental approach using a two-group pretest–posttest design. A total of 28 members of the Scout Student Activity Unit were selected through simple random sampling and randomly assigned into two intervention groups: lecture-based education and educational video-based learning. Data were collected using validated knowledge questionnaires and skill observation checklists administered before and after the interventions. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to assess within-group differences and the Mann–Whitney U Test to compare outcomes between groups, with a significance level of p < 0.05. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in both BLS knowledge and practical skills following the interventions in each group (p = 0.001). However, no significant differences were identified between the lecture and educational video methods in improving knowledge (p = 0.378) or practical skills (p = 0.617), indicating that both approaches were equally effective. Lecture-based learning appeared to enhance conceptual understanding, whereas educational videos provided greater support for procedural and skill-based learning. In conclusion, both lecture and educational video methods are effective educational strategies for improving BLS knowledge and skills among students. The integration of these complementary approaches may optimize learning outcomes and strengthen students’ preparedness in emergency response situations.

Abstract

The aging process is associated with progressive degenerative changes that increase the risk of falls among older adults. Declining physiological functions, including reduced muscle strength, impaired coordination, postural instability, and decreased balance, contribute significantly to fall incidents, which may lead to physical injury, reduced independence, and decreased quality of life. Therefore, effective interventions are needed to minimize fall risk and improve functional mobility in the elderly population. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Otago Exercise Program on fall risk among older adults in Gelang Village, Sidoarjo Regency. This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 30 older adults were recruited through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of the Otago Exercise Program administered over 12 sessions within four weeks. Fall risk was assessed using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to evaluate differences in fall risk scores between pretest and posttest measurements. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in fall risk following the intervention. The Wilcoxon test revealed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that the Otago Exercise Program effectively improved balance and mobility among the participants. Post-intervention observations showed that participants experienced better functional movement and a lower risk of falling compared to their baseline condition. In conclusion, the Otago Exercise Program has a significant positive effect on reducing fall risk among older adults in Gelang Village, Sidoarjo Regency. These findings suggest that the program can be considered an effective non-pharmacological intervention to enhance balance and prevent falls in the elderly population. Future studies are recommended to include additional variables, such as muscle strength, dynamic balance, and quality of life, to provide more comprehensive findings.
