Abstract

Overweight adolescents affects various age groups, ranging from children to adolescents. Among adolescents, factors such as fast food consumption contribute to this issue and may establish dietary patterns that impact their quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to analyze the relationship between fast food consumption and the quality of life among overweight adolescents in Semarang City. This research employed a cross-sectional design involving 65 adolescents from SMAN 1, SMAN 6, and SMAN 11 in Semarang City, selected via multistage random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results indicated no significant relationship between fast food consumption and overweight adolescents (p-value = 0,704). However, a significant relationship was found regarding the quality of life of overweight adolescents (p-value = 0,001). In conclusion, while fast food consumption was not directly correlated with overweight status in this population, overweight adolescents significantly correlates with the adolescents' quality of life.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent a frequent occupational health issue arising from mechanical stress, particularly repetitive lifting and long periods of standing. These conditions are especially prevalent among workers performing strenuous manual tasks, such as porters. Initial observations at Bandung Railway Station revealed recurring shoulder and calf discomfort reported by porters, suggesting the need to investigate whether nutritional intake, nutritional status, and lifestyle behaviors contribute to these complaints. This research sought to determine the association between nutrient consumption, nutritional status, lifestyle factors, and musculoskeletal disorder (MSDs) symptoms among porters at Bandung Railway Station. The study utilized a quantitative design with a cross-sectional framework. All 67 porters at the station were included through total sampling. Data were gathered through structured interviews using validated tools: the Nordic Body Map to identify MSD symptoms; a 24-hour dietary recall to quantify macro and micronutrient intake; the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep patterns; and anthropometric measurements to determine body mass index (BMI). Data analysis showed that sleep quality was the dominant factor (p-value = 0,002), with a 59,6% MSDs prevalence in poor sleepers versus 5% in good sleepers. Carbohydrate intake was also significant (p-value = 0,033), where adequate intake surprisingly recorded higher MSDs (59,3%) than deficient intake (32,5%); thus, MSDs in this study are primarily driven by poor sleep and suboptimal carbohydrate intake.

Abstract

Obesity is recognized as a major global health problem due to its negative impact on quality of life and its strong association with various metabolic disorders. Energy imbalance, defined as a condition in which energy intake consistently exceeds energy expenditure, is considered a central mechanism in the development of obesity. This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity, ADRB2 gene polymorphism zygosity (rs1042713), and energy balance among individuals with obesity. A quantitative cross-sectional design was implemented, involving 48 obese participants selected using a total sampling technique. Data were obtained through structured interviews, anthropometric measurements, and genetic testing. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and logistic regression analysis. The results indicated a statistically significant association between physical activity and energy balance status (p-value = 0,003). No significant association was identified between ADRB2 gene zygosity and energy balance (p-value = 1,000). The findings highlight the important role of physical activity in preventing excess energy accumulation among obese individuals, while the genetic variation examined did not show a significant contribution in this study. Limitations include the cross-sectional design, which precludes causal inference, and the relatively small sample size, which limits the generalizability of the results. Promotion of an active lifestyle remains a fundamental strategy in adult obesity management.

Abstract

Optimal breast milk (BM) production is a crucial factor in the success of exclusive breastfeeding, yet many breastfeeding mothers still experience challenges related to low milk quantity. One of the factors influencing breast milk production is the adequacy of maternal nutrition during lactation. The utilization of local nutrient-rich foods with galactagogue properties offers a potential alternative to enhance breast milk production. This study aimed to examine the effect of sweet potato leaves and moringa leaves, processed into RISBILOR (Sweet Potato and Moringa Risoles), on increasing BM quantity and improving exclusive breastfeeding coverage in the working area of Kersanagara Community Health Center, Tasikmalaya City. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group was used. The study involved 40 breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 0–6 months, who received the intervention for 14 consecutive days. The results showed a significant difference in BM quantity between the intervention and control groups after RISBILOR administration, with a Wilcoxon test p-value of 0,032 (p-value <0,05). In conclusion, RISBILOR significantly increased breast milk production in mothers of infants aged 0–6 months, indicating that it can be used as a safe and beneficial local food-based functional food to support breast milk production and the success of exclusive breastfeeding programs.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is an infestation of the human skin and scalp by the parasitic pest Pediculus humanus capitisIts prevalence was reported to be high and variable worldwide. The estimated prevalence of Pediculosis capitis in Indonesia is 29%. Pediculosis capitis in children can cause decreased health and cognitive performance. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of Pediculosis capitis among female students at the Raudhatul Ulum Integrated Islamic School. The study was conducted cross-sectionally with 132 subjects using a multistage sampling technique. The independent variables in the study were humidity, occupancy density, use of shared combs, use of shared headscarves, use of shared mukena and use of shared pillows with the dependent variable Pediculosis capitis. Bivariable statistical analysis concluded that there was no significant correlation between room humidity (p-value 0,087) and occupancy density factors (p-value = 0,776). There was a significant correlation between the variables of use of shared mukena (p-value <0,001), use of shared pillows (p-value <0,001), use of shared combs (p-value <0,001), and use of shared headscarves (p-value <0,001) with the incidence of Pediculosis capitis in female students at the Raudhatul Ulum Sakatiga Islamic Boarding School. The use of mukena was the dominant variable influencing Pediculosis capitis in female students controlled by other variables (PR = 20,812). There were four related variables and two unrelated variables in the results of the research analysis. It is hoped that every Islamic boarding school institution will pay attention to the cleanliness and health of its students.

Abstract

Schizophrenia with auditory hallucinations is a serious mental health problem in Indonesia, affecting patients’ social functioning and quality of life. In 2024, the Aulia Rahma Foundation in Lampung recorded 117 patients, with 70% experiencing persistent auditory hallucinations despite receiving pharmacological therapy. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of art drawing therapy compared to vegetable planting as a control group in reducing auditory hallucination symptoms. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design was used. The sample consisted of 38 schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations, selected through purposive sampling, and divided into an intervention group (art drawing therapy) and a control group (vegetable planting). Data were collected using the Auditory Hallucination Rating Scale (AHRS) and analyzed with paired t-test and independent t-test. The results showed a significant reduction in symptoms in both groups (p-value = 0,001 paired t-test; p-value = 0,004 independent t-test), with art drawing therapy demonstrating a greater decrease in symptoms compared to vegetable planting. In conclusion, both therapies are effective in managing auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia patients, with recommendations for developing a comprehensive occupational therapy program at the Aulia Rahma Foundation, focusing on art drawing therapy activities.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a natural process lasting approximately nine months, during which a woman carries an embryo and a growing fetus in her womb with the purpose of continuing the lineage. This process marks an important first step in the life of the next generation. Pregnancy is also a physiological phenomenon that causes changes in a woman's body, most of which are due to the body's response to the fetus. This study aims to explore the relationship between the anxiety levels experienced by third-trimester pregnant women and the support they receive from their husbands. The research was conducted at Tangerang District Hospital using a cross-sectional methodology and a descriptive correlational design. Primary data were gathered through questionnaires filled out by the participants. The study population comprised third-trimester pregnant women with gestational ages between seven and nine months. A sample of 110 subjects was selected using the accidental sampling technique, which is a type of nonprobability sampling. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant relationship between husband support and the level of anxiety experienced by third-trimester pregnant women at Tangerang District General Hospital (p-value = 0,001). Meanwhile, other variables such as age (p-value = 0,086), education level (p-value = 0,337), and parity (p-value = 0,162) did not show a significant relationship. Therefore, husband support plays an important role in reducing anxiety levels among third-trimester pregnant women.

Abstract

Gambir (Uncaria gambir Roxb), a plant native to Indonesia, has long been recognized in traditional medicine. The primary active component in gambir is catechin, which possesses various biological activities, including broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. However, catechin faces challenges related to low stability, necessitating its formulation into a nanoemulsion to enhance both its stability and effectiveness. This study aims to evaluate whether an optimized nanoemulsion formulation of catechin can improve its antimicrobial activity. The methodology includes assessing the antimicrobial effectiveness of catechin powder and catechin nanoemulsion using the agar diffusion method, as well as determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) through the microdilution method. Antimicrobial activity was tested against three bacterial strains: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, and Enterobacter aerogenes ATCC 13048. The optimal formulation consisted of a combination of Tween 80 and Span 80 as surfactants (15%), PEG 400 as a co-surfactant (7%), and isopropyl myristate (IPM) as the oil phase (10%). This nanoemulsion formulation demonstrated a transmittance value of 91,9%. Based on the antimicrobial activity results, the catechin nanoemulsion exhibited enhanced antimicrobial effects compared to catechin powder. The nanoemulsion containing 2% catechin showed the highest antimicrobial activity against all three tested bacteria. These findings are expected to provide new insights into the potential application of catechin nanoemulsion as a more effective antimicrobial agent.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and can be managed through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, including massage therapy. This study aimed to examine the effects of massage therapy on blood pressure, pain, anxiety, and cholesterol levels in patients with hypertension. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach was used. The sample consisted of 22 hypertensive patients divided into intervention and control groups. Blood pressure, pain, anxiety, and cholesterol levels were measured before the first intervention and after the second intervention. Within-group differences were analyzed using paired t-tests, while between-group comparisons were conducted using independent t-test with a significance level of p-value< 0,05. The results showed that massage therapy significantly reduced blood pressure in the intervention group. Systolic blood pressure decreased from 161,81 ± 13,28 mmHg to 143,63 ± 12.06 mmHg (p-value = 0,004), and diastolic blood pressure decreased from 97,27 ± 9,04 mmHg to 85,00 ± 5,91 mmHg (p-value < 0,001). Pain and anxiety scores also decreased significantly, from 7,09 ± 1,00 to 2,18 ± 0,40 (p-value < 0,001) and from 29,82 ± 3,00 to 22,45 ± 3,90 (p-value = 0,03), respectively, and were lower than those in the control group at posttest. Although cholesterol levels increased significantly within the intervention group, no significant difference was found compared to the control group. In conclusion, massage therapy effectively reduces blood pressure, pain, and anxiety in hypertensive patients but does not significantly affect cholesterol levels.
