Abstract

Surgical procedures involving the nervous system have an incidence of intubation failure in all age categories and cause severe complications such as hypoxia, aspiration, and increased intracranial pressure, which can worsen the patient's neurological condition. Accurate preoperative assessment is important to predict intubation-related complications. One of the important predictors of intubation success is the Mallampati score. Several studies on Mallampati Score showed different results, so this study aimed to find out the relationship between Mallampati score and intubation success in neurosurgery patients. This study is an observational analysis with a cross-sectional design, conducted from February 12 to March 23, 2024. The sampling technique used a total sampling with 33 respondents. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square test. Most respondents with Mallampati Score 1-2 successfully underwent intubation (42.4%). Respondents with Mallampati scores in grades 3-4 mostly experienced failed intubation (39.4%). There was a statistically significant association between Mallampati scores and intubation success in neurosurgical patients. The Mallampati score can be used as part of a comprehensive airway assessment. Additional instruments and comprehensive clinical evaluation improve the success of intubation and reduce the risk of complications. Respondents with Mallampati scores in grades 3-4 mostly experienced failed intubation (39.4. Additional instruments and comprehensive clinical evaluation can improve the success of intubation and reduce the risk of complications. Future research is encouraged to study how cultural and demographic factors affect Mallampati's score and its predictive value in different populations, which could provide insights into its generalization and application in various healthcare contexts.

Abstract

Subclinical inflammation and almost every indication of systemic inflammation, which is defined by elevated levels of inflammatory markers in the blood, are seen in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Understanding the relationship between inflammatory markers and glycemic control is essential for creating comprehensive management strategies to avoid diabetes-related complications. The aims of this study were to determine the correlation between erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in DM patients. This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design that was conducted on 35 DM patients from the DM prolanis group at the Bangkalan Regency First-Level Health Facility. HbA1c and hs-CRP levels were measured using the fluorescence immunoassay (FIA) method, while ESR was assessed using the Westergren method. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. Regarding the biomarkers, all respondents (100%) had HbA1c levels >8.0%, 43% had elevated hs-CRP levels associated with cardiovascular risk, and 80% had abnormal ESR values. A significant relationship was found between ESR and HbA1c (p = 0.019; r = 0.394), but no significant relationship was observed between hs-CRP and HbA1c (p = 0.351; r = 0.163). The relationship between inflammation and glycemic control in DM can be understood through the correlation of ESR, hs-CRP, and HbA1c. These findings offer practical value, particularly in monitoring disease progression and managing diabetes-related complications. Future research should investigate the effects of interventions aimed at reducing inflammation, e.g lifestyle modifications or anti-inflammatory medications, on ESR, hs-CRP, and HbA1c levels.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia (HC) is a disease caused by excessive fat consumption and a lack of physical activity. It can impact the emergence of various health disorders (e.g., heart disease, hypertension, and stroke). One of the non-pharmacological therapies to treat HC is by practicing low-impact aerobic. This study aims to determine the effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on decreasing cholesterol levels. Quasi-experimental research with a two-group pretest-posttest control group design. Purposive sampling was used in this study with inclusion criteria: patients with a cholesterol value >200 mmHg, who can do physical activity and do not take medication regularly. The sample, which comprised 64 respondents, was divided into intervention and control groups. The low-impact aerobic exercise intervention was conducted over a period of 8 weeks, with sessions held 2-3 times a week, each lasting 15 minutes. A glucose, cholesterol, uric acid (GCU) meter device was used to check cholesterol levels. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The mean decrease in cholesterol levels in the intervention group reached 55.22 mg/dl (from x̄ 245.13 mg/dl to x̄ 189.91 mg/dl). It was found a significant effect between low-impact aerobic exercise and reducing total cholesterol levels (p < 0.05). Low impact aerobic exercise intervention is cost-effective, has minimal side effects, and is effective in controlling and lowering cholesterol levels if done properly and intensively. Optimizing HC management can be done by combining HC interventions, e.g., diet, medication, and adequate physical activity. Further research on the optimization of HC management needs to be conducted.

Abstract

Malnutrition among adolescents is a crucial public health problem and tends to cause serious problems in the next generation, one of which is commonly called stunting. Adolescents As agents of change and prospective parents, adolescents play an important role in stunting prevention. The involvement of adolescents can be one of the important factors in breaking the stunting cycle. This study aims to exxplore deeper into the role of adolescents in stunting prevention efforts. Qualitative research with a phenomenological approach is used in this study. The selection of informants uses purposive sampling. There were 8 adolescent girls as the main informants and one health center nutrition officer as a supporting informant. Data obtaining uses in-depth interviews with an average interview duration of 30-40 minutes. Data analysis uses thematic analysis. There are two themes with four sub-themes, namely the role of adolescents in stunting prevention efforts (three sub-themes: clean and healthy living behavior; adolescent compliance with consuming blood-boosting tablets; adolescent involvement in health activities) and obstacles in stunting prevention efforts (one sub-theme: lack of adolescent knowledge about stunting).Lack of knowledge about stunting among the adolescents in Adow Health Center causes adolescents reluctant to play an active role in preventing stunting issues. An interesting finding is that although adolescents lack knowledge about stunting, they are not interested in seeking information about stunting. Therefore, the development of digital educational content about stunting, especially through social media platforms, is expected to attract the interest of adolescents to increase their knowledge and role in stunting prevention. Further research needs to be carried out, especially on how adolescents use social media to share information and build awareness about stunting issues among their peers.

Abstract

Introduction: Negative discipline is a violation of children's rights to respect for their physical integrity and human dignity, health, development, education and protection from violence. For children, negative discipline can increase the risk of bad outcomes, namely problematic social and parental relationships, weak moral internalization, stress responses, and mental health problems. Purpose: This study aims to improve parenting skills to prevent negative discipline in children. Method: This scoping review aims to identify the latest scientific evidence related to negative discipline in children. The article search used relevant databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Wiley Online Library. The article search obtained 11 articles for further analysis. The analysis was based on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The search used some keywords, namely Parenting* OR Parenting style* OR Child Rearing* AND discipline* OR harsh discipline* OR punitive violence* OR Corporal punishment* OR physical punishment*. The author used filters, namely articles published in English, articles published from 2019-2023; and articles about parenting skills to prevent negative discipline in children. Conclusion: Negative discipline can cause psychological problems in children. Children who frequently get negative discipline will experience anxiety. In addition, negative discipline can disrupt children's emotional development causing aggressive behavior and disrupting mental health.

Abstract

Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) is a pollutant that negatively impacts environmental quality and poses health risks to populations exposed over long periods. In Yogyakarta, PM2.5 is the primary pollutant, particularly in urban areas with heavy traffic, such as train stations. This study analyses the risk level of PM2.5 exposure among workers at Yogyakarta Railway Station using an environmental health risk analysis approach. The data was obtained from BB Labkesmas Yogyakarta's study in October 2023, involving 15 respondents working in the station's waiting area. PM2.5 analysis was conducted using a High-Volume Air Sampler (HVAS) with the gravimetric method, and respondents were selected through incidental sampling. The results show that the PM2.5 concentration at Yogyakarta Railway Station (74.97 µg/m³) exceeds the air quality standards set by The Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 02/2023. Risk analysis calculations indicate that most workers remain within the safe category (HQ ≤ 1) for both a 30-year lifetime exposure projection and a real-time exposure projection. However, a respondent is exposed to an unsafe risk (HQ>1), so precautions must be taken to reduce the risk to a safe level. Additionally, it is necessary to conduct a risk analysis study based on a specific period in the future.

Abstract

Social isolation can increase mortality and most likely have an impact on health. The impact of social isolation and loneliness on health and well-being is recognised globally as a public health problem. Social isolation can be experienced at any age, especially in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of social isolation on the occurrence of cardiovascular disease in the elderly. This study is a systematic review. Article searches are conducted through databases: PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar with the keywords used in article searches are as follows "Social isolation" AND "cardiovascular disease" AND "elderly". Article selection is done using a PRISMA flow chart. Results: From the results of searching articles in databases obtained as many as 1460 articles that have a relationship with the research theme. Then the article's results were adjusted to the study system used and obtained 565 results that were included in the study system criteria. Then from the 565 articles were re-selected by considering the predetermined inclusion criteria and obtained the results of 10 articles. Conclusion: Social isolation has been shown to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in older adults. Despite limitations in study design and measurement, these findings underscore the importance of addressing social factors in maintaining the health of older adults.

Abstract

Stroke is a multi-causal disease, and many factors can lead to stroke. There are also some unseen behavioral factors, such as poor diet. In recent years, poor sleep quality has been considered a potential trigger of stroke. If these factors are not well controlled, it can have an impact on the incidence of ischemic stroke. The aim of this research is to assess the correlation between sleep quality and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels with the incidence of ischemic stroke. This study used an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach using the PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) questionnaire and secondary data. A total of 60 respondents were selected with a purposive sampling technique and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This research was conducted at Fatmawati Soekarno Hospital, Surakarta City. Statistical analysis showed that the Chi-Square test produced a significance value, with a p value of 0.007 for the correlation of sleep quality with the incidence of ischemic stroke, and a p value of 0.688 for the correlation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels with the incidence of ischemic stroke. It can be concluded that there is a correlation between sleep quality and the incidence of ischemic stroke, but there is no relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and the incidence of ischemic stroke.

Abstract

Presidential Regulation No. 59 of 2024 on the National Health Insurance (JKN), Article 103B, the government mandated the full implementation of the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) policy by 2025. This regulation is expected to impact the public broadly and has generated a range of perceptions. Existing research remains fragmented, lacks focus on private hospitals, and is qualitative in nature. This study aims to evaluate the readiness and vulnerabilities of private hospitals in Central Jakarta in implementing the KRIS policy. A mixed-methods approach was used to analyse the policy's impact on bed capacity, hospital revenue, and the challenges hospitals faced in meeting the 12 KRIS criteria. The findings indicated that the KRIS policy could lead to a 21% reduction in the number of beds in private hospitals, potentially worsening the issue of healthcare access, recorded as the main complaint by Health Security Administering Body (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial Kesehatan, abbreviated as BPJS) participants in 2021. An estimated budget of IDR 16 billion is required for KRIS compliance in private hospitals across Central Jakarta, with a projected monthly revenue loss of approximately IDR 10.8 billion. Criteria 8, 9, and 11 pertain to room density, partitions, and bathroom facilities. This study recommends adjusting the KRIS policy to account for the unique characteristics of private hospitals, which do not receive financial assistance from the government. Specifically, it suggests aligning the implementation timeline with each hospital’s capacity and readiness. In addition, the government must ensure equitable access to healthcare for all BPJS participants.

Abstract

University students are a vulnerable population to developing eating disorders due to the lifestyle and psychological changes during their academic years. The oral microbiome, particularly the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio, has been proposed as a potential biomarker for nutritional status, though its relationship in eating disorder risk remains underexplored. This study examined the relationship between the oral F/B ratio, nutritional status, and the risk of eating disorders among university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted on undergraduate students from the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia, from August to October 2024. Saliva samples were analyzed using qPCR to determine the F/B ratio. Nutritional status was assessed via BMI categorization, and eating disorder risk was evaluated using EAT-26 questionnaire. Statistical analyses included Pearson and Spearman correlations. The study included 42 students aged 19-23 years, with the majority (90.5%) being female. Nutritional status was distributed as 11.9% underweight, 52.4% normal, and 35.7% overweight/obese. Eating disorder risk was identified in 38.1% of participants, with all underweight students at risk. The mean oral F/B ratio was 0.704 ± 1.93, significantly associated with nutritional status (p 0.033) but not with eating disorder risk. Higher F/B ratios were observed in overweight/obese participants, whereas lower ratios were observed in underweight status. The oral F/B ratio shows potential as a biomarker for nutritional status among university students but does not directly correlate with eating disorder risk. These findings highlight the complex interplay between microbiome composition, nutrition, and eating behavior related to mental health.
