Abstract

The level of anxiety in preoperative caesarean section patients who receive spinal anesthesia can affect physiological and psychological responses that affect surgical outcomes. Endorphin massage therapy is a relaxation technique that aims to increase endorphin production and reduce anxiety. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of endorphin massage therapy on the anxiety level of patients before cesarean section with spinal anesthesia at RSI Purwokerto. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach without a control group. The sample consisted of 30 preoperative caesarean section patients selected using purposive sampling technique. Anxiety level was measured using HARS (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale) questionnaire before and after endorphin massage therapy. Data analysis was performed using paired statistical tests. The results showed a decrease in the patient's anxiety level before the massage intervention of 23.23 and after the intervention of 11.90, these results indicate the average difference in anxiety scores in preoperative caesarean section mothers is 11.23. Wilcoxon statistical test showed the result (p<0.05). With the conclusion that endorphin massage therapy effectively reduces anxiety levels in patients undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. This intervention can be used as a non-pharmacological method to reduce patient anxiety before surgery.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is the time between childhood and maturity, usually between the ages of 10 and 19 years. According to the Data and Information Center of the Indonesian Ministry of Health, the number of adolescents in Indonesia is estimated at around 45.35 million people, or about a quarter of the total population. In Padang City itself, the number of adolescents reached 178,402 people. The adolescent age group is at high risk for reproductive health problems including premarital sexual behavior, drugs and even HIV/AIDS. The government has paid attention to adolescent problems by establishing the Adolescent Health Care Service (PKPR) program at health centers. The results of the evaluation of the PKPR Program in 2016 in the Andalas Health Center Working Area of Padang City showed that this program had not been implemented optimally. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out innovations related to reproductive health in adolescents in the form of the establishment of a Comprehensive Reproductive Health Class (Eskimo Class). Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Eksimo Class in increasing adolescent knowledge about reproductive health. Method: The research design used was a quasi-experimental with a one group before and after design. In this research design, the sample will be given a pre-test first, then given an intervention, and a post-test in 1 group without a control group. The study was conducted in April-November 2024 in the Andalas Health Center Working Area, Padang City. Results: An average of 17.21, or about 81.9%, was the students' knowledge of reproductive health prior to receiving health education, and 18.13, or approximately 86.3%, was the students' knowledge afterwards. Conclusion: The Asymp value was derived from the statistical test.  Sig 0.051 > ?0.05 so it is concluded that there is no effect of health education on the level of adolescent knowledge about reproductive health because the average value before and after the intervention only increased by 4.4%.

Abstract

Indoor air quality is a critical determinant of respiratory health in early childhood, particularly in densely populated areas with poor ventilation. This case study aims to identify the relationship between household air pollution exposure and respiratory symptoms among children in Region X. Ten households were purposively selected, and direct measurements of PM2.5, carbon monoxide, and humidity were conducted alongside behavioral observation and symptom recording over a two-week period. Results indicated that indoor PM2.5 and CO levels exceeded safety thresholds, with higher frequencies of symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath among children living in poorly ventilated homes. These findings suggest that unhealthy, high-density housing conditions have a direct impact on child respiratory health. The study recommends community-based interventions focusing on ventilation improvement, reduction of indoor pollution sources, and health education. The findings provide an empirical basis for the development of healthy housing programs in densely populated urban settings.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between added sugar consumption patterns and the risk of obesity among urban secondary school adolescents in Indonesia. The research employed a quantitative, cross-sectional design, using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and anthropometric measurements to collect data from 400 adolescents aged 12-17 years. The results revealed a high prevalence of sugary drink and snack consumption, with over 75% of participants consuming sugar-sweetened beverages at least three times a week. The study found a positive correlation between frequent sugar consumption and higher BMI values, with adolescents consuming more than 30 grams of added sugar per day being significantly more likely to be classified as overweight or obese. Socioeconomic factors played a crucial role, as lower-income adolescents consumed more sugar compared to their higher-income peers. The findings highlight the need for targeted public health interventions to reduce sugar intake and promote healthier dietary habits, particularly among lower-income urban adolescents. Schools and policymakers are encouraged to implement strategies that limit sugary food and drink availability while promoting physical activity.

Abstract

Handwashing behavior is a key pillar in preventing infectious diseases, but awareness and consistency were still low among students before the COVID-19 pandemic. In the digital era, social media has become a potential channel for delivering health education massively and interactively. This study aims to analyze the effect of health education exposure through social media on handwashing behavior in students and identify the relationship between knowledge levels and hygienic practices. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional analytical survey design . A sample of 385 students was selected stratified. random sampling. The research instrument was a structured online questionnaire that included variables of educational exposure, knowledge, and handwashing behavior. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The results showed a very strong and significant relationship between exposure to health education through social media and handwashing behavior (r = 0.995; p < 0.01). The linear regression model produced R² = 0.991, which means that educational exposure explains 99.1% of the variation in handwashing behavior. Visual platforms such as TikTok and Instagram have proven to be more effective than text-based media. This study demonstrates the importance of utilizing social media as a strategic tool in preventive health promotion among college students and encourages the design of more targeted and evidence-based digital interventions.

Abstract

Herpes zoster (HZ) results from the reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV), typically triggered by aging or immunosuppression. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) affects the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve (V1), posing a risk of ocular complications. Disseminated herpes zoster (DHZ), a rare form of HZ, is defined by ?20 vesicular lesions beyond the primary and adjacent dermatomes, potentially leading to systemic complications and increased morbidity. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old immunocompetent male presented with disseminated vesicular eruptions across the body, sparing the knees and lower legs, four days after the initial appearance of vesicles along the left ophthalmic (V1) branch of the trigeminal nerve. Notably, the patient had a history of minor trauma at the same site one week prior. A comprehensive evaluation and multidisciplinary management were undertaken, involving ophthalmologists, dermatologists, and neurologists. By the third day of treatment, his pain had significantly subsided, no new lesions had developed, and was discharged. Conclusion: DHZ can occur in immunocompetent individuals at any age, but is more common in older patients. A meticulous history and physical examination are essential, as dermatomal herpes zoster may progress to dissemination. Additionally, the potential link between recent trauma and zoster reactivation may play a contributory role, highlighting the importance of early recognition for prompt intervention.

Abstract

Vaginal delivery is often accompanied by anatomical changes in the perineum, one of which is perineal laceration, experienced by approximately 85% of women who give birth spontaneously. This laceration can affect the mother's recovery and quality of life during the postpartum period. Perineal massage can help prevent tears by increasing the elasticity of perineal tissue, preparing it for stretching during childbirth, and reducing the risk of tears. This study aims to provide comprehensive care using perineal massage techniques from pregnancy to prevent perineal lacerations. The method used is descriptive with a case study approach, data collection through interviews and physical examinations. The study subject was Mrs. "Y" G3P2A0, who received perineal massage from 36 weeks of pregnancy until childbirth. The results showed that perineal elasticity improved from the rigid category to the elastic category after regular perineal massage for 4 weeks prior to childbirth, with a frequency of 5 times per week. During childbirth, a contraction timer was used to monitor progress. During the postpartum period, mothers complained of sore nipples and were given breastfeeding techniques. Perineal massage had a significant effect in preventing perineal lacerations with a frequency of 5 times a week for 4 weeks before delivery. Perineal massage increased tissue elasticity, improved blood circulation, and trained relaxation during labor. Success is supported by the mother's compliance and proper massage technique. This care is expected to be applied to pregnant women up to the postpartum period.
