Abstract

The problem of malnutrition is still the main problem faced in human resource development. The problem of growth and development of Baduta is a serious problem because at this age the process of physical and intellectual growth and development is critical. Malnutrition problems mostly occur in poor families but are not caused by poor families who have well-nourished children. The Belawan Community Health Center working area is one of the community health centers with the highest number of cases of malnutrition in Medan City. To overcome this, a program is needed that is believed to be effective and sustainable. One of the existing programs to overcome the problem of malnutrition and malnutrition is positive deviation. This research aims to identify positive behavior in feeding (type of food, processing of food ingredients, mealtimes and method of feeding) of toddlers who are well-nourished in poor fishing families in the Belawan Community Health Center Working Area in 2022. This research method is qualitative research with a narrative approach. Researchers studied individual lives by asking one or several individuals to tell stories about their lives related to positive behavior in feeding well-nourished animals. This information is then retold by the researcher in a narrative chronology. The findings of this research indicate that addressing nutritional challenges in children can be effectively achieved by leveraging the potential and resources within the community. This is done through the identification of positive deviant behaviors, particularly those related to beneficial feeding practices. These practices encompass aspects such as the types of food provided, the methods of food preparation, the timing of meals, and the approach to food administration. Keep up the great work! The way you’re thinking about integrating community strengths is spot-on for creating sustainable solutions.

Abstract

Good sleep quality in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients helps repair heart muscle cells. Sleep hygiene is one of the non-pharmacological interventions to overcome sleep disorders. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of sleep hygiene on sleep quality in CHF patients. A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with two groups was taken using probability sampling with block random sampling method. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and sleep habits using the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI). Outputs were measured based on the change in the mean between the measurement time using the paired t-test and the difference in the mean between groups using the independent t-test. A total of 30 respondents were involved in this study. The intervention group showed a significant improvement in sleep quality after sleep hygiene therapy with a mean difference (MD) of 4.20 (SE=0.70; p-value=<0.01). Sleep quality between the two groups showed a significantly greater difference in the intervention group than in the control group (MD=-2.13, SE=1.00, p-value=0.04, effect size (Cohens'd)=-0.77). Sleep hygiene is a non-pharmacological intervention that effectively improves sleep quality in patients with CHF.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition that is marked by an increase in blood pressure in the blood that exceeds the normal level, ie above 7.0 mg/dl in the patient and above 6.0 mg/dl in women. It is generally intended to address hyperuricemia in the use of synthesized drugs that can give rise to the effect of retinal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, damage to the liver, nephritis in the brain and hypertheritivity. By therefore developing alternative treatments using plant medicine as well as parsley nails (Lawson mermis L.). This research is aimed at identifying extracurricular nephew nails (EEDPK) against decreasing levels of pregnancy in males who are induced by liver cancer and galleria. This research uses experimental methods with gathering and processing materials, identification of growth, making implicit, making extracts, determining water levels, preparing animal trials, and testing EEDPK effects. Animals used 24 eggs were divided into 6 groups of tests, group divisions included normal groups, induction, comparison, and EEDPK in 3 doses of 150 mg/kg body weight, 300 mg/kg body weight, and EEDPK 600 mg/kg body weight version 25 with 95% confidence level. The results of the EEDPK water level assessment were 3.33%. The results of the efficacy of hyperuricides will be shown that EEDPK provides the effect of the most effective extracts as antihyperuricemia is 300 mg/kgBB compared to other groups of extract.

Abstract

Positive deviance in low-income families is a mechanism by which individuals or groups continue to thrive or meet standards despite facing challenging conditions. One of the goals of positive deviance is to prevent child malnutrition by changing community habits about feeding, caring, hygiene, and health seeking practices. Malnutrition early in life will affect the growth and development of children and the quality of life thereafter. The study aims to compare the positive deviances between children with normal nutrition and undernutrition. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 39 public health centres in Medan, West Indonesia, where a total of 80 children (40 with normal nutrition and 40 with undernutrition) were recruited using purposive sampling. Nutritional status (normal or undernutrition) was determined using body mass index-for-age (BMI-for-age) z-scores, according to WHO reference values. Positive deviance behaviours were assessed using a validated questionnaire, and anthropometric parameters such as weight, height, BMI, and triceps skinfold were measured. Haemoglobin levels were taken as a biological measurement of the condition. The Mann-Whitney test demonstrated that the positive deviance practices of feeding, caring, hygiene, and health-seeking behaviours were significantly better among normal nourished children than undernourished children (p<0.05). Children from families with positive deviance practices have better nutritional status despite living in economically limited conditions. This indicates that family behaviours and practices can play a crucial role in enhancing children's nutritional and health status, regardless of financial or environmental constraints. Integrating positive deviance approaches alongside additional interventions could be effective in improving children's nutritional status.

Abstract

Based on the results of the preliminary study, Puskesmas Setabelan in implementing the SIMPUS application has not been maximized because at the end of each month the internet network is often erroneous because it does not have a good provider, there are still new employees who have not received socialization related to the use of the SIMPUS application, and the patient's online registration has not been opened due to the condition of the community who are still unfamiliar with technology. So the researcher is interested in analyzing how effective the acceptance of the use of the SIMPUS (Puskesmas Management Information System) application is using the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) theory at the Setabelan Health Center in Surakarta City. This type of research is qualitative and descriptive with data collection methods in-depth interviews with 11 informants including SIMPUS coordinators, SIMPUS programmers, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, dental nurses and administrative staff. The sample selection method used purposive sampling method.
