Abstract

Teenagers frequently endure stress throughout their transition to adulthood and frequently utilize the internet to cope with it. However, the internet's ease leads to high levels of internet addiction. As a result, this study examined the relationship between stress levels and internet addiction among students at SMA Negeri 3 Denpasar. This study employs an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design. This study used a stratified random sample technique with the Slovin formula. The sample comprised 268 students who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) questionnaires. The data will be analyzed bivariate using the SPSS application with the Spearman test method, with the analysis results said to be significant if the p-value is <0.05. The results obtained showed that the majority of respondents experienced moderate stress (61.6%), while the majority experienced moderate internet addiction (45.1%). The Spearman test value obtained was 0.468 with p-value <0,001. This indicates that there is a considerable and reasonably strong association between stress levels and internet addiction.

Abstract

Cataract is a cause of visual impairment and blindness in the world with a percentage of 25.81%. Cataract sufferers in Bali Province are the 3rd highest after North Sulawesi, Jambi, and Aceh. Tabanan Regency is in third place after Gianyar and Denpasar Regencies with a cataract percentage reaching 17.20%. Cataracts caused by age or aging factors are called senile cataracts. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of senile cataract sufferers at Tabanan Regional Hospital using a descriptive research design and a cross-sectional approach. The data collection method uses inclusion and exclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria include patients diagnosed with cataracts at Tabanan Regional Hospital in January-December 2023 and patients aged >50 years. Exclusion criteria include medical record data that does not contain demographic data, age, and gender, clinical data such as visual acuity, stage, diagnosis, and management, and unreadable medical record data. Based on the research, it can be concluded that the characteristics of senile cataract patients at Tabanan Regional Hospital in 2023 were the highest age group in the 55-65 year age group at 39,8%, gender was higher in women at 61,4%, comorbidities such as hypertension were 8,4% and DM was 6%, the highest stage was the immature stage at 88%, the patient's  vision was highest in poor vision at 51,8%  and based on the management given to senile cataract patients phacoemulsification at 81,9%. It is hoped that the results of this study can be a reference for further research, and become the basis for preventive and promotive efforts for cataracts in the elderly.

Abstract

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder that causes a reduction or blockage of airflow despite efforts to breathe. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the indicators used to determine an individual's weight status, whether they are underweight, have an ideal weight, or are overweight (obese). This study aims to determine the relationship between BMI and the risk of OSA among students at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Warmadewa University. This is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The sample was obtained using stratified random sampling with a total of 97 samples. Data collection was done through questionnaires filled out by the respondents to obtain primary data. The independent variable in this study is Body Mass Index (BMI), while the dependent variable is the risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The correlation between BMI and OSA risk was measured using the Spearman test and crosstab. The results showed that the majority of respondents were male and 19 years old (35.1%), with a normal BMI status (58.8%). A total of 35.1% were at risk of developing OSA based on the Berlin questionnaire, and 64.9% were at risk of OSA based on the ESS questionnaire. The Berlin questionnaire showed a significant and very strong positive correlation between BMI and students at risk of OSA (p = 0.001; r = 0.899). Meanwhile, the ESS questionnaire showed a significant and moderate positive correlation between BMI and OSA risk (p = 0.001; r = 0.442).

Abstract

Pharmacotherapy is a sub-discipline of pharmacology that studies the treatment of diseases through the use of medications. The use of drugs is considered rational when patients receive medications that suit their needs, for an adequate period of time, and at the most affordable cost for both the patient and society. Prescription writing falls under the competency of healthcare physicians, meaning that doctors are required to master the proper and correct way of writing prescriptions. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is part of an assessment system aimed at evaluating the clinical competencies and skills of students objectively and systematically. This study aims to determine the differences in the achievement of pharmacotherapy competency during the OSCE among 7th and 8th-semester students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Warmadewa University. The method used in this research is a descriptive-analytic method to identify the relationship between variables through a cross-sectional approach. The target population in this study consists of all medical students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Warmadewa University who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection was based on OSCE scores from the 2019 cohort. A dependent t-test was then conducted, followed by determining Cohen's d. The dependent t-test results showed that the average OSCE scores in pharmacotherapy competence in the 7th and 8th semesters were significantly different, with a p-value of 0.000. This improvement from the 7th to the 8th semester reflects a deeper mastery of more complex pharmacotherapy scenarios.

Abstract

In the digital era, individuals find it easier to access information. The convenience provided by the internet often leads people to become complacent, resulting in excessive usage and potential addiction. Internet usage is common among students and significantly impacts their learning motivation. Learning motivation refers to the drive or enthusiasm that students exhibit in their educational pursuits, shaped by personal expectations, goals, and needs. When students possess positive motivation, they tend to demonstrate greater eagerness and enthusiasm for learning and are more actively engaged in class activities. This study aims to explore the relationship between internet addiction and the learning motivation of students at SMA Negeri 1 Negara. The sample consists of students who met the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria, selected through purposive sampling, totaling 178 respondents. This research adopts an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The results of the study show that the majority of students at SMA Negeri 1 Negara experienced a moderate level of internet addiction, accounting for 77.5%, followed by a severe level at 16.9%, and a mild level at 5.6%. Meanwhile, in terms of learning motivation, most students fell into the moderate category at 81.5%, followed by the high category at 16.9%, and the low category at 1.7%. The Spearman correlation test indicated a weak but significant negative relationship between the level of internet addiction and students' learning motivation, with a p-value of < 0.003 and a correlation coefficient of -0.222. This suggests that the higher the level of internet addiction experienced by students, the lower their learning motivation tends to be. These findings highlight that uncontrolled internet use can negatively impact students' enthusiasm and engagement in the learning process. Nevertheless, most students still demonstrated a moderate level of learning motivation, indicating an awareness and ability to self-regulate against the adverse effects of excessive internet use.

Abstract

The entry of bacteria and fungi into the body is one of the causes of infectious diseases. However, the use of synthetic antibiotics and antifungals often causes resistance effects by pathogenic microorganisms. One effort to overcome bacterial and fungal resistance is to explore secondary metabolite compounds from herbal plants and one of them is the seeds of the lamtoro plant (Leucaena leucocephala). Previous research has reported the antibacterial potential of lamtoro seeds. However, the information reported is not comprehensive because it was only tested using ethanol solvent. Apart from that, research on the antifungal activity of lamtoro seeds has never been reported. This research design uses laboratory experimental methods. The initial stage is plant identification and continued with extraction of lamtoro seed simplicia using ethyl acetate solvent with a ratio (1:5 w/v) for 24 hours and simplicia remaceration is carried out again for 24 hours. The resulting extract will be tested for its phytochemical content. Next, the extract will be tested for antibacterial and antifungal activity using the Kirby-Bauer method. The test bacteria used were Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Streptococus mutans FNCC 0405, and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603. The test fungi used were Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus. The results of phytochemical screening showed that the ethyl acetate extract of lamtoro seeds contained flavonoids, saponins and tannins. Meanwhile, the antibacterial activity test of the ethyl acetate extract of lamtoro seeds showed that there was no antibacterial inhibitory effect on Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria. The antifungal screening showed that the extract did not display antifungal activity against tested fungal indicators.

Abstract

Bacterial infection is a condition where pathogens enter the body. Although bacterial infections are generally treated with antibiotics, the irrational use of antibiotics has triggered bacterial resistance. One effort to overcome bacterial infections can be done by exploring herbal plants that have antibacterial potential and other potentials, such as antioxidants. One herbal plant that needs further research is croton leaves (Codiaeum variegatum). The first stage in the research was maceration and extraction of croton leaves with ethyl acetate solvent, then carrying out phytochemical screening. Next, the antibacterial test used the Kirby-Bauer method with six treatments: positive control (levofloxacin), negative control (ethyl acetate), and croton extract concentrations, namely 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. The bacteria used were Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Streptococcus mutans FNCC 0405, and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603. Antioxidant activity was tested using the DPPH method. The results of the phytochemical and antioxidant tests were analyzed descriptively, while the results of the antibacterial tests were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (for data with normal distribution) and Kruskal-Wallis (data which was not normally distributed). Phytochemical screening results show that croton leaf extract contains flavonoid compounds, tannins and phenols. The antibacterial test on croton leaf extract is classified as moderate to strong. At a concentration of 100%, the inhibition zone was found to be 11.8 ± 16.68 mm; 11.7 ± 0.87 mm; 12.23±0.23 mm; and 7.37 ± 0.69 mm respectively against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Streptococcus mutans FNCC 0405, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603, and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Antioxidant tests showed that croton leaf extract had a weak antioxidant (IC50 479.37 ppm). In general, this research shows that ethyl acetate extract of croton leaves has antibacterial potential in vitro. Future research should focus on testing ethyl acetate extract against multidrug-resistant bacteria and exploring other potential bioactivities of croton plants.

Abstract

Bacterial infectious disease is a condition when pathogenic bacteria enter the human body and cause disease. Cases of bacterial infections are getting worse with the increase in bacterial strains that develop antibiotic resistance. Efforts to overcome the problem of bacterial infections are by exploring herbal plants with antibacterial abilities. One of the herbal plants that has the potential to be researched is the stem of the kitolod plant (Isotoma longiflora). Empirically, this plant has been used by traditional communities to treat bacterial infections, but there has not been much research that can provide comprehensive information regarding the metabolite compounds contained in kitolod stems. This research used 100 grams of dry samples of kitolod stems which were macerated using 500 ml of ethyl acetate solvent (1:5, w/v) for 24 hours and remaceration was carried out once. The macerate obtained was evaporated using a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 40oC to get a thick extract from kitolod stems. The extract was tested in triplicate against gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 700603) and Gram-positive Streptococcus mutans (FNCC 0405), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) using method Kirby-Bauer. The phytochemical content of kitolod stem extract was tested to detect the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins and saponins. The antioxidant activity of kitolod stem extract was tested using the DPPH method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl). The results of phytochemical screening show that kitolod extract contains flavonoids, alkaloids and saponins. Atibacterial activity screening showed that no inhibition zone was formed against Gram-positive or Gram-negative test bacteria. The antioxidant test showed that the ethyl acetate extract of kitolod stems had very weak antioxidant levels, namely at the IC value50 393847.22 ppm and 2752.9442 ppm. Further research will be focused on extracting kitolod stems using several different organic solvents, so that the bioactivity of kitolod can be more explored.

Abstract

Allergic rhinitis one of allergic disease that has a high prevalence in the world, 400 million people suffer from allergic rhinitis, while in Indonesia the number is 24.3% of the total population.The purpose of this study was to determine the corelation between allergic rhinitis and quality of life in students at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Warmadewa University. The analysis of this study uses cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used random sampling and of 49 sample size.  The instruments research used the SFAR questionnaire to assess allergic rhinitis and the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire to assess quality of life. Data processing will be carried out using SPSS with bivariate analysis. There were total of 49 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. Majority of respondents had a previous history of allergic rhinitis (93.9%) with moderate quality of life (91.8%) and the other (8.2%) with high quality of life. The enviromental doimain was recorded with a high quality of life level of 10.2%, while the lowest quality of life was in the social domain. There was no corelation between allergic rhinitis and quality of life (p = 0.582, r = 0.081). The age of the majority of students with allergic rhinitis is in accordance with the atopic march theory where allergic rhinitis reaches its peak at the age of 20-40 years. Several previous studies also found that the most common symptom of a runny nose is that the most common trigger is house dust mites which have a habitat in urban areas. However, this study did not find a corelation between allergic rhinitis and quality of life, which may be due to student factors, research instruments that cause bias, and smaller study samples.
