Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) commonly affects health science students due to academic and clinical demands, yet remains underreported and insufficiently addressed in educational settings. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with low back pain complaints among nursing and midwifery students. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 126 students from the School of Health Science Al-Ma’arif Baturaja. Total sampling was used. Data were collected using validated questionnaires assessing sitting duration, sitting posture, body mass index (BMI), gender, and physical activity. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate tests. The prevalence of LBP complaints among students was 66.7%. Bivariate analysis showed that BMI (p = 0.029), sitting duration (p = 0.008), and sitting posture (p = 0.003) were significantly associated with LBP. In contrast, gender (p = 0.183) and physical activity (p = 0.117) were not significantly related. Modifiable risk factors such as abnormal BMI, prolonged sitting, and non-ergonomic posture contribute significantly to LBP among students. Gender and activity level were not major predictors in this study. Educational institutions should integrate ergonomic education and preventive health programs into nursing and midwifery curricula to mitigate LBP risks. Early intervention strategies focusing on behavior and posture may enhance student well-being and academic performance.

Abstract

Cancer survivors undergo a health-illness transition (HITs) from diagnosis to survivorship phase, which affects their quality of life and treatment. This study aims to determine the extent of readiness for the HITs transition among cancer survivors through a scoping review method based on the Arksey and O'Malley framework. We searched the ScienceDirect, PubMed, SpringerLink, and Wiley databases for studies addressing cancer patients and transition readiness in oncology care settings. The inclusion criteria were the ones that met the original English-language articles published between 2020 and 2024. Review articles, study protocols, and books were excluded. The screening procedure adhered to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, and article eligibility was assessed by three researchers using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist (2020). Ten articles were acquired, indicating that the majority of survivors had low to medium levels of transition readiness, particularly throughout the treatment and survivorship phases. This readiness is affected by support from family, peers, and healthcare professionals, along with several individual factors, including age, length of diagnosis, insurance status, patient competence, physical and emotional condition, cancer stage, treatment status, and access to health services and information. These results affirm that readiness for the HITs requires attention by providing appropriate support and strengthening individual factors. Future studies are expected to evaluate transition readiness from the diagnosis phase to enhance the integration and optimization of the care process, hence improving the overall quality of life for cancer survivors.

Abstract

This narrative review aims to explore community-based program interventions among patients with leprosy. This study employs the PCC (Population, Concept, Context) framework and collects data from six literature reviews accessed through the PubMed database. Keywords adjusted according to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms ("Community-Based Program" OR "Community Intervention" OR "Community Health Program" OR "Community Engagement") AND ("Social Support" OR "Peer Support" OR "Community Support" OR "Psychosocial Support") AND ("Leprosy" OR "Hansen’s Disease"). Analysis of six articles, primarily from Asian and African contexts, reveals that community-based interventions are effective in reducing stigma, enhancing socio-economic participation, and strengthening leprosy detection and prevention strategies. These programs succeed through a multidimensional approach involving social support, education, and economic empowerment. The findings underscore that integrating psychosocial support and economic empowerment within community-led health initiatives is fundamental to achieving holistic and sustainable outcomes in leprosy care.

Abstract

The sheet jam was developed by reflecting on the practicality of sheet cheese. Sheet jam can be formed with the presence of hydrocolloids. Pectin is a hydrocolloid that is naturally contained in watermelon albedo. However, the use of watermelon albedo in making imitation watermelon sheet jam requires coloring and sweeteners. This study aims to obtain the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of imitation watermelon sheet jam using watermelon albedo with natural coloring and sweetener formulations. The treatments used were two types of natural dyes (roselle and sappanwood) and sweetener formulations (fructose, honey, sucrose). The psychochemical characteristics tested were water content, reducing sugar content, total acid, and color. Sensory characteristics were tested descriptively and hedonic quality. Data analysis has been carried out using OPLS-DA, followed by OPLS, and Pearson’s correlation (by SIMCA 14.1). The findings showed that the main physicochemical and sensory characteristics of imitation watermelon sheet jam were herbal aroma, fruit aroma, chewy texture, sweetness, reducing sugar, Hue (red/yellow), rollability, and overall preference. The characteristics that determine the level of preference for imitation watermelon sheet jam were rollability, sweetness, shiny appearance, and chewy taste. The sweet taste characteristic (r -0.92582) has a negative correlation with the level of preference. The presence of a doctoring agent (fructose or honey) prevents crystallization in sheet jam, which is positively correlated with preference. Coloring with Roselle and sappanwood can replace the use of watermelon flesh and can be further studied in relation to the functional characteristics that may be provided.

Abstract

This study examines the Islamic bioethical perspective on blood transfusion, a common medical procedure that raises ethical and religious concerns. The research analyzes Quranic verses, hadiths, Islamic jurisprudence, and scholarly interpretations to understand the Islamic stance on blood, its use in medical treatments, and the permissibility of blood transfusion. While blood is generally considered impure in Islam and its consumption is prohibited, exceptions are made for life-saving medical interventions. The study explores the Quranic and hadith-based concepts of blood, its various mentions and contexts in Islamic texts, and how these relate to modern medical practices. It also discusses the medical benefits and risks of blood transfusion, including its life-saving potential and possible complications, within the framework of medical ethics. The research highlights the Islamic principle of preserving life (hifdzu al nafs) and how it applies to blood transfusion. Social aspects, including blood donation as an act of solidarity and charity, are examined through an Islamic lens. The study concludes that blood transfusion is permissible in Islam when medically necessary, aligning with the religion's emphasis on preserving life and helping others. This research contributes to the growing field of Islamic bioethics in contemporary medical practices.

Abstract

Adolescents are a vulnerable population experiencing significant psychological and social changes, often leading to emotional difficulties and maladaptive behaviors such as self-harm. This study aims to analyze the associations and predictive factors of bullying, self-esteem, anxiety, and peer relationship problems with self-harm behavior among high school students in Kampar Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 678 adolescents aged 15–18 years who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires, including the Olweus Bullying Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, and Peer Relationship Scale. Univariate analysis showed that 40% of respondents had experienced bullying, 30% had low self-esteem, 25% reported moderate to severe anxiety, and 35% had peer relationship problems. The prevalence of self-harm behavior was 18%. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square test revealed significant associations between all independent variables and self-harm behavior (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified moderate to severe anxiety as the strongest predictor of self-harm (OR 3.7; 95% CI: 2.3–5.8), followed by low self-esteem (OR 3.1; 95% CI: 2.0–4.9), bullying experience (OR 2.8; 95% CI: 1.9–4.2), and peer relationship problems (OR 1.8; 95% CI: 1.2–2.9). These findings establish a clear evidence base for developing comprehensive, school-based psychosocial interventions aimed at mitigating these specific risk factors to reduce the prevalence of self-harm among adolescents in Kampar Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia.

Abstract

This study used observational analysis with retrospective data collection. A total of 303 outpatients with were included in this study. The research instrument used was secondary from medical record data and examination results of Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) and 2-hour plasma glucose (2-h PG) values when the patient first visited and the fourth month after the first visit. The patients' therapy is regarded as effective if the FPG test results range from 80-130 mg/dL and the 2-h PG test value is <180 mg/dL in the fourth month. In patients aged >60 years, it is said to be effective if the results of the FPG examination are around ≤ 180 mg/dL and the 2-h PG examination value is ≤200 mg/dL. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis analysis. Oral antidiabetics metformin and glimepiride had differences in observed effectiveness (p=0.000) < 0.05 for FPG and 2-h PG examinations in outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The type of oral antidiabetic glimepiride had differences in observed effectiveness (p=0.002) < 0.05 in the FPG examination and (p=0.006) < 0.05 in the 2-h PG examination. The oral antidiabetic drug groups metformin and glimepiride had differences in observed therapeutic effectiveness in outpatients with T2DM, while the insulin group and the combination group did not have differences in therapeutic effectiveness in T2DM patients.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder marked by chronic hyperglycemia and oxidative stress, which can reduce the activity of antioxidant enzymes like Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx). Acanthus ilicifolius (jeruju) contains antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids and phenolics that may enhance these enzyme activities. Evaluate the effect of Acanthus ilicifolius leaf infusion on SOD and GPx activity in Wistar rats induced with type 2 diabetes using Streptozotocin-Nicotinamide (STZ-NA). The experimental design used a post-test only with five groups: normal control (no diabetes, standard feed), positive control (diabetes + metformin 45 mg/kgBW), negative control (diabetes without treatment), treatment group 1 (diabetes + metformin 45 mg/kgBW + jeruju infusion 1.2 ml/200gBW), and treatment group 2 (diabetes + metformin 45 mg/kgBW + jeruju infusion 2.4 ml/200gBW). Treatments were given daily for 30 days, and all rats had free access to food and water. At the end of the study, blood samples were collected to measure SOD and GPx activity using spectrophotometry. The combination of Acanthus ilicifolius infusion and metformin particularly at the 2.4 ml/200gBW dose, was associated with elevated SOD P2 treatment group (76.23 ± 3.65 U/mL; p = 0.000 (<0.05)) and GPx activities P2 (52.11 ± 0.76 U/mL; p = 0.000 (<0.05))  compared to the untreated diabetic group K- (SOD) (28.43 ± 3.17 U/mL) and K- (GPx)(24.18 ± 1.08 U/mL). These findings proves Acanthus ilicifolius infusion holds potential as an adjuvant therapy to mitigate oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes by enhancing SOD and GPx enzyme activities.

Abstract

The prevalence of anemia in Indonesian adolescent girls reaches 15.5%. Blood supplement tablets are still not accepted by young women. This study was conducted to evaluate the acceptability and iron content of Keloreal. An experimental method was applied, utilizing a hedonic scale to assess attributes of taste, aroma, color, and texture, and the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method to determine iron content in the best formula. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the Mann-Whitney test. The MS0 formulation received the highest overall hedonic scores. However, among the two treatment formulations, MS2 was more acceptable to the panelists due to its milder bitterness and less prominent moringa flavor, leading to better acceptance compared to MS1.  Iron levels measured using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method were 0.0596 mg/g for the MS2 formulation and 0.0756 mg/g for the control (MS0). Despite the lower iron concentration, MS2 is considered a potential alternative snack due to its elevated levels of complementary micronutrients that play a synergistic role in supporting iron metabolism and erythropoiesis.
