Abstract

Bread spreads can be defined as products that can be spread on bread or as a filling, usually used to add flavor or texture to bread. The taste of bread spread is not only sweet but can be spicy and savory. The purpose of this research was to develop a bread spread made from smoked mackerel with the addition of bambara groundnut and analyze the effect of different formulas on nutrient content, antioxidant activity, and omega-3. This study used a completely randomized design. The analysis test used was One-Way ANOVA with Duncan multiple range test further test with SPSS version 26 and Microsoft Excel 2016 software. The results of this study showed that the highest content of moisture, protein, fat in F1, ash content in F2, while carbohydrates, energy, IC50, and omega-3 in F3. The results of the analysis on bread-spread products contained moisture 31.57-41.06%, ash 4.56-5.00%, protein 15.84-26.82%, fat 28.30-36.24%, carbohydrate 32.14-51.31%, IC50 is 2.66-4.32-ppm, and omega-3 of 1.68-2.6 g/100g. The conclusion of the research showed that the treatment of the ratio of mackerel and bambara groundnut affected on the moisture, protein, and carbohydrate (p<0.05), but did not affect on the ash, fat, omega-3, and antioxidant activity (p>0.05).

Abstract

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient with important antioxidant and physiological roles. However, it is highly unstable during processing due to its sensitivity to heat, oxygen, and light. This scoping review mapped evidence on drying-based encapsulation techniques: freeze drying, spray drying, and foam-mat drying. It examines their effect on the vitamin C level in fruit powder. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer, MDPI, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2015 and 2025. The search followed the PRISMA-ScR framework. Seven studies met the criteria and covered acerola, camu-camu, banana, açaí, papaya, satsuma mandarin, orange peel, and mulberry. The findings show that freeze-drying was consistently the most effective technique for retaining vitamin C levels. Some studies even reported an increase in vitamin C levels, possibly due to the breakdown of the fruit matrix, which made the nutrient more available. During Spray drying, low retention values (11%) were obtained in banana paste, and almost total retention (99%) was achieved in camu-camu pulp. The retention of mulberry juice during optimized foam-mat drying amounted to a maximum level of 90%. Coating materials, such as gum Arabic (GA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), provided better stability in vitamin C levels. However, there are some gaps regarding encapsulation efficiency, degradation kinetics, and particular mechanisms of the matrix that could clarify retention rates beyond 100%. Thus, future studies should focus on these parameters for the refinement of scalable yet low-cost drying strategies of functional fruit powders.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a growing health concern in Indonesia, particularly in rural communities with limited healthcare access. Behavioral risk factors such as smoking, coffee consumption, and poor health-seeking behavior (HSB) may increase MetS risk in vulnerable populations. This study aimed to examine the association between lifestyle behaviors—smoking, coffee consumption, and HSB—and the risk of MetS among fishermen and oil palm farmers in Aceh, Indonesia.  A case-control study was conducted among 240 adults, comprising 120 couples,  recruited from rural fishing and farming communities. Cases met the IDF 2020 MetS criteria, while controls did not. Data on sociodemographics, smoking, coffee intake, and HSB were collected via structured interviews and clinical assessments. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors, adjusting for age, gender, and education. Smoking among husbands (AOR = 2.89; 95% CI: 1.19–7.02; p = 0.019), coffee consumption (AOR = 2.40; 95% CI: 1.00–5.79; p = 0.049), and low HSB (AOR = 3.10; 95% CI: 1.35–7.11; p = 0.008) were significantly associated with higher odds of MetS. While age and education were not independently significant, they were retained in the model as potential confounders. This study highlights the need for tailored health promotion targeting smoking cessation, improved health service engagement, and dietary awareness in rural Indonesian populations. Interventions should consider sociocultural practices such as sweetened coffee consumption to reduce MetS risk effectively.

Abstract

Anemia is a condition in which the body experiences a lack of Hb in the blood. One of the causes of anemia is the need for iron and protein that is not fulfilled by the daily intake. Snake fruit seed flour and red beans have high potential to be developed into health-beneficial products such as snacks. The purpose of this study was to develop snack bars as a treatment for anemia in adolescent girls and to analyze hedonic tests, microbiological contamination, and nutritional content. The data analysis used was the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's Post-Hoc test. This study shows that the snack bar formulation of snake fruit seed flour and red bean has a statistically significant effect with a p-value <0.05. Based on the level of liking of high school adolescent girls, the most preferred formulations are formulations P0 and P3. The P0 treatment has nutritional content (carbohydrate 43.33%, protein 14.30%, fat 19.70%, total calories 400 Kcal, iron 3.6 mg, vitamin C 24.5 mg, and zinc 4.8 mg) and the P3 formulation has nutritional content (carbohydrate 49.49%, protein 10.71%, fat 13.53%, total calories 360 Kcal, iron 11.4 mg, vitamin C 28.0 mg, and zinc 5.2 mg), so it has the potential to innovate supplementary feeding for anemic adolescent girls.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women remains a major nutritional issue in Indonesia and contributes to adverse birth outcomes and the risk of childhood stunting. Community-based interventions that integrate nutrition education and food supplementation have shown promise but remain underutilized. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated nutrition intervention, consisting of Behavior Change Communication (BCC)-based education and local food-based supplementary feeding (PMT), on improving the Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and nutritional status of pregnant women in high-stunting prevalence areas. A 16-week quasi-experimental pre–post study was conducted among 175 pregnant women in Purbalingga, Serang, and Bogor, Indonesia. Participants received weekly group-based BCC education and daily local snack supplementation (≥350 kcal/day). MUAC, weight, BMI, hemoglobin levels, and dietary adequacy (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate) were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test and multiple linear regression. The mean MUAC increased significantly from 22.7 ± 1.1 cm to 23.6 ± 1.0 cm (p < 0.001), with a 27.4% reduction in CED prevalence. Regression analysis indicated that dietary compliance and baseline hemoglobin were strong predictors of MUAC improvement. The intervention also significantly increased maternal weight, BMI, and hemoglobin levels, while protein adequacy showed the most substantial improvement, aligning dietary intake more closely with national recommendations. The integration of BCC-based education with local PMT significantly improved maternal nutritional outcomes, particularly MUAC, protein adequacy, and hemoglobin status, thereby reducing the risk of CED and anemia. This dual-component approach is feasible for community-level stunting prevention and supports its inclusion in antenatal care services.

Abstract

Preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication affecting 2–5% of women globally, is a leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality. Its prevalence in Indonesia ranges from 0.8–7% depending on parity. Associated with long-term cardiovascular risks, recent research suggests that elevated maternal activin A levels may play a causal role in linking severe preeclampsia to subsequent cardiovascular complications, particularly through mechanisms involving cellular damage, including to the heart. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between Activin A circulating level and cardiac ventricular function as assessed by cardiac global longitudinal strain (GLS) in severe preeclampsia. A cross-sectional study was conducted at M. Djamil Hospital, Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia with a total of 31 patients with severe preeclampsia. The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) as used to determine the level of Activin A in the blood serum. Ventricular function was assessed from the global longitudinal strain using echocardiographic evaluation. The mean level of Activin A was 2.97 ± 1.91 ng/mL. From the echocardiographic evaluation, the mean cardiac GLS value was 18.01 ± 3.27%.  The correlation between activin A levels and cardiac ventricular function was analyzed using Pearson's correlation test, which showed a strong negative correlation (r = -0.718, p < 0.001). This indicates that higher activin A levels are significantly associated with lower GLS values, demonstrating worse ventricular function.

Abstract

To determine the correlation between Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) with Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD-2) scores as prognostic markers in pediatric sepsis. This prospective cohort study included 44 pediatric sepsis patients admitted to the PICU at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital from July to September 2024. PELOD-2 scores and blood indices were assessed on admission (Day 1) and Day 3. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between variables. The majority of patients were female (59.1%) and under one year old (31.8%). By Day 3, 68.2% of patients exhibited MPV levels exceeding 10.4 fL. Significant moderate correlations were found between Day 3 MPV and PELOD-2 (r=0.410; p=0.006), Day 3 PDW and PELOD-2 (r=0.518; p=0.001), and the changes ($\Delta$) in PDW versus PELOD-2 scores (r=0.471; p=0.005). Increases in MPV and PDW are significantly correlated with PELOD-2 scores, suggesting their potential utility as accessible prognostic markers in pediatric sepsis management.

Abstract

Venipuncture is the most painful and traumatic procedure often performed by nurses on pediatric patients. Innovation using technology-based interaction models is urgently needed in the emergency department. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of interaction models in reducing stress associated with venipuncture by utilizing virtual reality and video watching in the emergency department. This study employs a literature review, drawing on fourteen reputable articles from the ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink databases. The results of the study based on the interaction model include (1) nurses must have a role in understanding children's stress, experience in managing children's stress, speed of completion of venipuncture procedures, and critical thinking in assessing the level of difficulty of venous access; (2) child attachment the with the importance of parental presence to suppress children's temperament; and (3) environmental aspects that support innovation in the use of virtual reality and watching videos as imaginative distraction techniques. The interaction model suggests that the roles of nurses, parental involvement, and environmental aspects can help manage the stress of children in pain in the emergency department.

Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls is a serious public health problem, especially in developing countries. Teenage girls are prone to anemia due to rapid growth, menstruation, and low iron intake. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive education in improving adolescents' knowledge and attitudes towards anemia, consumption of blood-boosting tablets, and anemia-preventing diet. The study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. Forty-one students aged 14-18 from Banawa Tengah I Public Senior High School, Donggala were selected using the quota method. A multidisciplinary team delivered educational interventions, including materials on anemia, blood-boosting tablets, and anemia diets. The measurement of knowledge and attitudes was carried out using questionnaires tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed an increase in the knowledge score from 6.46 to 7.90 and the attitude score from 47.32 to 49.37. Both variables had statistically significant differences (ρ < 0.001 for knowledge and ρ = 0.008 for attitude). In conclusion, direct and comprehensive education effectively increases adolescent girls' knowledge and attitudes about anemia prevention. Similar programs are recommended to be integrated into school health activities and supported by the role of families and communities
