Abstract

The presence of microbes in each breast milk sample can be different, one of which is influenced by the method of delivery. The research aimed to analyze the effect of storage time for breast milk from mothers giving birth normally and giving birth by Caesarean on the number of bacteria at room temperature. The independent variable in this study was the storage time for breast milk from mothers giving birth normally and giving birth by Caesarean for 0, 4, 8, and 12 hours at room temperature, while the dependent variable in this study was the number of bacteria in the breast milk. The research samples were breast milk from mothers who gave birth normally and Caesarean section which was treated with storage at room temperature for 0, 4, 8, and 12 hours. The results of the research were that the average number of bacteria in breast milk from mothers giving birth normally, stored at 0, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours respectively, was 1.33 x 104 CFU/ml; 2.18 x 104 CFU/ml; 5.04 x 106 CFU/ml; 1.68 x 107 CFU/ml. The average number of bacteria in breast milk from mothers giving birth by Caesarean storage 0, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours respectively 1.83 x 104 CFU/ml; 1.73 x 105 CFU/ml; 1.76 x 107 CFU/ml; 6.67 x 107 CFU/ml. There is a significant difference in the number of bacteria between breast milk from mothers who gave birth normally and breast milk from mothers who gave birth by Caesarean section. Storage time has a positive effect on the number of bacteria in breast milk from mothers giving birth normally and giving birth by Caesarean. It is recommended to store breast milk at room temperature for up to 4 hours for breast milk from women giving birth normally and for breast milk from mothers giving birth by Caesarean, storage for less than 4 hours by paying attention to the cleanliness of the breast milk storage area.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a vulnerable period to infection due to low immunity. An increase in leukocytes characterizes the body's response to infection; several leukocytes close to normal values indicate that the infection period will end. The research objective was to determine the effectiveness of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf extract on the number of leukocyte cells in mothers with postpartum infections at Tarakan City General Hospital. The research used an Analytical survey with a sample of postpartum mothers who came to the Tarakan City General Hospital (April-August 2022). Criteria for Group 1 were mothers with postpartum infections and had not been given any therapy; Group 2 were healthy postpartum mothers; Group 3 were mothers with postpartum infections who were given standard therapy; Group 4 is mothers with postpartum infections who were given standard therapy and on the doctor's advice the day before they were given Karamunting leaf extract as additional therapy. The research results show that giving Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf extract with standard therapy reduces the number of leukocytes to close to normal values, so it can be concluded that it has an anti-inflammatory effect on mothers with postpartum infections. Further clinical trial research is needed with adequate samples and more uniform conditions for each sample.

Abstract

Hyperlipidemia patients have a high risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Low patient knowledge causes therapy failure. Education can be provided to overcome this problem. No questionnaire instrument can measure the level of knowledge of hyperlipidemia patients. The level of knowledge of hyperlipidemia patients at Banjarbaru Utara Primary Health Care has never been studied. The research aimed to validate the questionnaire and determine the effect of educational videos on patient knowledge at the Banjarbaru Utara Primary Health Care, Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan. The research method used to validate the questionnaire was cross-sectional, while to determine the effect of educational videos on the patient's level of knowledge using a quasi-experimental method using One Group Pre – Post Design. The research was conducted in January – March 2024 at Banjarbaru Utara Primary Health Care. The study involved eight experts, 40 patients in questionnaire validation, and 100 patients to determine the effect of educational videos. The results of questionnaire content validation show that the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) value is in the range of 0.750 – 1.000, while the Content Validity Index (CVI) value is in the range of 0.875 – 1.000. The validity test with Person Correlation shows that ten out of 20 statements on the questionnaire are considered valid (>0.312). The Cronbach's Alpha value is 0.655, indicating the questionnaire is reliable. The patient's knowledge before being given the educational video had a score of 5.96 (scale 1 – 10), while after it, it had a score of 8.73. There was an increase in the level of knowledge, reaching 46.47%. The conclusion is that the Hyperlipidemia Knowledge Questionnaire (HKQ), which consists of 10 statements, is declared valid and reliable. Educational videos significantly influence (p-value 0.000) in increasing knowledge of hyperlipidemia patients.

Abstract

Chicken eggs and duck eggs can be a source of transmission of Salmonellosis. Salmonella bacteria can penetrate the eggshell, or the egg's contents can become directly contaminated with Salmonella in the reproductive organs before the shell covers the egg. This research aims to analyze Salmonella sp in chicken and duck eggs at the Antasari Traditional Market in Banjarmasin, Indonesia. Samples were taken by purposive sampling with the criteria for cracked/broken eggs and intact eggs: 3 chicken eggs and three duck eggs from 6 traders so that the total sample was 24. For the identification of bacteria, microscopic tests and biochemical tests were used on the identification media. The results showed Salmonella sp in duck eggs and no Salmonella in chicken eggs. In all samples of chicken and duck eggs, 12.50% of Salmonella sp, 37.50% of Klebsiella sp, 12.50% of Proteus sp, and 37.50% of Pseudomonas sp were found. Suggestions for consumers are to pay more attention to the hygiene and sanitation of traders before buying eggs, choose clean eggs, store eggs in the refrigerator, and cook eggs until they are cooked.

Abstract

Diabetic ulcers are open wounds on the skin surface due to macroangiopathy complications that become infected due to the entry of bacteria. Binahong and keji beling plants, can be used to treat diseases known as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial effectiveness of a combination of binahong (Anredera cordifolia Ten. Steenis) and keji beling (Strobilanthes crispus Blume) extracts against Streptococcus sp. bacteria that cause diabetic ulcers. Samples were extracted using 96% ethanol solvent and then diluted the extract with a concentration variation of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%—antibacterial test using disc diffusion method (Kirby Bauer). Data analysis was used for the One-way ANOVA test and Duncan's Multiple Range Test further test method, which had a significance level of 0.05. Determination of antibacterial effectiveness was done by comparing the diameter of the most effective inhibition zone with the control antibiotic Ceftriaxone 30 µg. The results showed that the mean diameter of the inhibition zone of 25% concentration was 7.10 mm, and the inhibition zone of 100% concentration was 9.20 mm with moderate inhibition response. Statistical One Way Anova test showed that the combination of extracts affected the growth of Streptococcus sp. The most effective Concentration is at 100% concentration of 9.20 mm and antibacterial effectiveness of 92% with positive control Ceftriaxone 30 µg at 10.00 mm. It can be concluded that the combination of binahong and keji beling extracts can inhibit Streptococcus sp. bacteria, but its potential is not yet effective compared to Ceftriaxone 30 µg antibiotics

Abstract

Malaria remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, characterized by high rates of illness and death. Proper laboratory diagnosis is one of the keys to malaria prevention efforts. Malaria microscopists' proficiency, knowledge, attitudes, and skills require regular assessment to maintain diagnostic quality. This study examines the correlation between malaria microscopists' knowledge, attitudes, and competencies and the accuracy of laboratory diagnostic outcomes at the Jayapura City Health Center. This study used quantitative methods with descriptive and verification approaches. Data were collected through questionnaires and laboratory diagnosis results. The study sample was 13 malaria microscopists at the Jayapura City Health Center. The data were analyzed with SPSS software. The results showed that most respondents had a good level of knowledge (76.9%). Almost half of the respondents had a good attitude (46.2%). Most respondents had a sufficient level of skill (61.5%). Interestingly, although most respondents (76.9%) could diagnose malaria very accurately, this study did not find an effect of malaria microscopists' knowledge, attitude, and skills on the accuracy of diagnosis. The knowledge level of malaria microscopists at the Jayapura City Health Center is good, but their attitudes and skills still need to be improved. It is recommended that microscope Officers routinely attend training to improve their knowledge, attitudes and skills.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an irreversible kidney condition. One of the clinical symptoms of CKD is leg edema, which, if left untreated, causes discomfort, immobility, risk of falling, and skin problems. Foot edema in CKD patients can be alleviated using both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological treatments, one of which is foot massage. The study aimed to investigate the effect of foot massage on the circumference of leg edema in CKD patients. It used quantitative methodologies with a quasi-experimental design for one group pretest-posttest. The sampling method employed was purposive sampling. A sample of 18 persons was taken from the Hemodialysis unit of RSUD Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu. The data collection strategy consisted of documenting the results of measuring the circumference of leg edema using Medline before and after the intervention, which was carried out for 20 minutes on both legs over three days. Data will be evaluated univariately and bivariately with the Paired Test to determine the effect of foot massage on leg edema. The study found that 72.2% of respondents were female, and the average circumference of left leg edema before and after intervention was 21.66 cm and 21.02 cm, respectively. The average circumference of right leg edema before and after intervention was 21.74 and 21.07 cm. The study found that foot massage significantly influenced the circumference of leg edema before and after the intervention, with a P value of 0.000 (P<0.005) for both legs. The study's findings can be used by nurses to guide nursing interventions/actions, particularly for CKD patients with posthemodialysis edema.

Abstract

Total Plate Count (TPC) determines the number of microorganisms, both bacteria and fungi. Thawing is a step in thawing food that was previously stored frozen. This study aims to analyze the differences in the Total Plate Count of bacteria with variations in thawing methods in broiler chicken meat. Thawing methods commonly used include thawing at room temperature, soaking in water, and leaving it in the refrigerator (chiller). The type of research is experimental design with a posttest-only control design. Repetition was carried out five times for each control group KN (negative control) and test groups R0 (fresh chicken), R1 (frozen chicken), R2 (chicken thawed at room temperature), R3 (chicken soaked in water) and R4 (chicken thawed in the chiller) then the number of bacteria that grew was calculated. The average number of R0 colony results ranged from 4.1 x 103 CFU/g, R1 8.6 x 102 CFU/g, R2 1.6 x 104 CFU/g, R3 8.9 x 103 CFU/g and R4 1.2 x 103 CFU/g. The Kruskall-Wallis test results showed an Asymp sig value of 0.000 (<0.05); it can be concluded that there are differences in TPC in broiler chicken meat with variations in thawing methods that are thawed at room temperature, soaked in water and thawing in the chiller. It is recommended to thaw frozen chicken meat using the method of leaving it in the refrigerator because it has the lowest number of germs and can inhibit the growth of germs.

Abstract

Cempedak (Artocarpus integer) is known to contain phenolic compounds. Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites of plants included in marker compounds that act as natural antioxidants because they have hydroxyl groups that can reduce free radicals. Plants containing phenolic compounds are known to have strong antioxidant activity. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity and levels of marker compounds from ethanol extracts of cempedak leaves in various solvent variations. Cempedak leaves were dried in an oven and then powdered. Cempedak leaf powder was extracted using methanol, 70% ethanol, 96% ethanol using the maceration method, and distilled water was extracted using the boiling method. The extract was tested for antioxidant activity using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) method based on the IC50 value. Determination of marker compound levels using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent with a gallic acid comparator using a UV-Vis spectrometer instrument. The total phenolic content determination test results were expressed as gallic acid equivalents per gram of extract (GAE/g extract). The results of the antioxidant activity test showed the IC50 value of the methanol extract was 84.48 ppm (strong), the distilled water extract was 54.74 ppm (strong), the 70% ethanol extract was 72.21 ppm (strong), and the 96% ethanol extract was 24.55 ppm (very strong). The results of the marker compound determination showed the total phenolic content of the methanol extract was 28.22% w/w, the distilled water extract was 22.59% w/w, the 70% ethanol extract was 29.55%, and the 96% ethanol extract was 31.14% w/w. It can be concluded that the cempedak leaf extract extracted with 96% ethanol has very strong antioxidant properties and the highest marker compound content among other solvents. For further analysis, 96% ethanol solvent can be used for the cempedak leaf extraction.

Abstract

Sanitation problems in Indonesia still involve deviant social behavior, namely defecation habits anywhere. According to World Health Organization, around 2.5 billion people worldwide do not have access to proper sanitation facilities. Indonesia itself is ranked second after India, with a high number of people still defecating in the open; this is due to people's habits, which are very difficult to change because they have been inherited. The use of surface water sources, namely river water, with physical water quality that does not meet requirements, the absence of facilities for wastewater disposal, and the absence of household waste management can cause health hazards to the environment. The research aims to know the risky health environment in the sub-district Tabing Banda Gadang, Padang City. Study method This Quantitative nature descriptive analytic with approach Studies Evaluation Risk Health Environment is a participatory study to understand the condition of sanitation and hygiene facilities and community behaviors at the household scale, the results of data processing and analysis that can describe the determination of risk areas from each region to the village/sub-district level. The results of the study found that the risk areas were Water Sources with results of Not enough risk (value 28), Domestic Wastewater with Medium risk (value 68), Medium Risk Waste (value 51), high risk of waterlogging (value 58) and Clean and Healthy Living Behavior is not enough risky (value 32) it can be concluded that the sanitation risk index of Tabing Banda Gadang Village is included in the Current Risk with a value of 237. Tabing Banda Gadang Village is at high risk of waterlogging, so it is recommended that the Village facilitate the construction of drainage by coordinating with the Department of Housing and Public Works to resolve the waterlogging problem.
