Abstract

This study aims to determine the mental health awareness of Bachelor of Science in Office Administration students at the University of Saint Anthony. Specifically, it seeks to identify the respondents' profile in terms of age, gender, and year level, as well as the factors affecting their mental health, challenges they face that may lead to mental health problems and ways to manage such issues. Moreover, based on the study findings, the study aims to develop a mental health awareness guide to help students cope with their situations. The researcher used the descriptive research method, which involves a survey questionnaire to gather data. The study's findings indicate that most respondents sleep for 4-6 hours per day, feel anxious most of the time, and experience emotional problems that affect their studies. Many respondents sometimes experience fear, anxiety, or panic attacks, feel lonely or alone, and have mood swings, particularly anxiety. However, most respondents' mental health status is average, and they do not plan to attempt suicide over the last 12 months. Based on the study's conclusions, the recommendations include ensuring students sleep enough to avoid negative feelings such as irritability and stress. It is also suggested that students take care of themselves and have enough rest, especially at night, to think clearly and feel good when they wake up. Seeking help or guidance from trusted individuals such as teachers, counsellors, or classmates is also recommended.

Abstract

Over the past decade, thousands of research described the effects of increased physical activity on diabetic patients. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered one of the most chronic diseases that face humankind; it is a severe and long-term condition with a significant impact on the lives and well-being of individuals, families, and societies worldwide. The study participants comprised 41 males and 59 females. Their age ranged from less than 18 to more than 51. We asked the participants how old they were when they were diagnosed with diabetes. Their responses were % in 36-50 and followed by 53%. Our result shows that the first-degree kinship was 36%, and the Second-degree kinship was 51%. Our study indicated that recent studies show that Saudi populations have a high level of diabetic disease among Saudi individuals. Our results confirm that half of them have Second-degree kinship regarding the diabetic's history of DM, and diabetes is relevant among KSA individuals. The majority of the respondents are using insulin as their treatment. Furthermore, 57% lack knowledge of who got the DM. Additionally, we found that those who are inactive in their lives are 50%, while those who are highly active are 8%.

Abstract

Most urinary pathogens that cause urinary tract infection (UTI) have developed multidrug-antibiotic resistance (MDR) and forewarned our research interest in investigating natural products to increase medicinal plant usage as alternative therapies for infectious diseases.  This study was carried out to investigate the antibacterial activities of ethanolic extract from black cumin seeds (Nigella sativa), which were evaluated by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays against clinically isolated MDR urinary pathogens and compared with E.coli ATCC 35218. In this study, the ethanol extract of Nigella sativa possesses strong microbial growth inhibitory effects against the tested pathogens. The inhibitory activity of ethanolic extract (EE) was more robust with dose-dependent inhibitory effects. The minimum MIC values were observed for Proteus mirabilis (1.5 mg/ml), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2 mg/ml), extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Klebsiella pneumonia (2.5 mg/ml), ESBL producing Escherichia coli(2.75 mg/ml)and Acinetobacter baumannii(2.5 mg/ml).MBC inhibitory effects of ethanolic extracts were more significant than those of corresponding MIC results for all clinically isolated urinary pathogens. The bactericidal values of ethanol extracts were slightly increased than the related MIC. All the data was compared with E.coli ATCC 35218. This study augmented the effective antibacterial activity of Niofla sativa seed extract against carbapenem-resistant E. coli and Klebsiella pneumonia clinical isolates. Thus, it might be an effective potential source of safe and natural antimicrobial agents against emerging ESBL-producing clinical isolates.

Abstract

Indonesia has Southeast Asia's second-highest child stunting rate and fifth-highest globally. Malnutrition can cause stunting, especially during the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). This study aims to investigate the role of the family support unit in preventing stunting in a particular Integrated Service Post in Indonesia. This is a qualitative investigation. This study included 5 participants: family planning cadres, cadres, village midwives, and members with toddlers and expectant mothers. The results of the data analysis indicated the function of companion team families in preventing stunting, particularly for pregnant women and mothers with children. This demonstrates that the duties assigned are appropriate for their positions, as outlined in the Guidelines for Implementing Family Assistance in Efforts to Accelerate Stunting Reduction. The Family Support Team's function is particularly effective in decreasing stunting, especially for pregnant women and mothers with children under two years old who are at risk because stunting rates decrease with assistance. It is expected that there would be more monitoring of the improvement of each cadre's skills in carrying out their tasks and roles by the guidelines so that they can be more optimised in providing support.

Abstract

Coconut oil, derived from tropical plants, contains steroid compounds, tocopherols, and tocotrienols that can replace alcohol in tissue preparations. These substances are then substituted with solutions that bind effectively to paraffin. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the quality of histology preparations using natural ingredients, specifically coconut oil and xylene, as alternatives in the clearing process. Utilizing the literature review method, we accessed research journals from Google Scholar and Pubmed databases, focusing on PICO keywords within 2013-2022. The findings indicate that coconut oil can efficiently clear tissue preparations, allowing paraffin to permeate the tissue's pores. This, in turn, enhances the visibility of cellular structures such as the nucleus and cytoplasm when observed under a microscope. The study highlights coconut oil as a credible substitute for xylene, recognizing its ability to produce high-quality histology preparations. Its adoption as an alternative to xylene is attributed to its eco-friendly composition and non-toxic properties, positioning it as a promising choice for advancing histological techniques.

Abstract

The correct practice of handwashing among preschool children remains notably deficient, consequently contributing to a heightened prevalence of infectious diseases within this age group. To ameliorate this situation, the utilization of audiovisual-based health education has been proposed as an effective means. The principal aim of this investigation is to enhance handwashing behaviors in preschool children. Employing a quantitative approach, the study adopted a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test research design, encompassing a sample size of 46 participants selected via a total sampling technique. Data was gathered through the utilization of observation sheets and subsequently analyzed employing the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The outcomes unveiled that, before the implementation of health education, handwashing behavior was predominantly subpar, with 95.6% of cases falling into this category. However, post-health education, the majority of cases (87%) exhibited commendable handwashing behavior. This transformation was supported by a p-value of 0.000, underscoring the substantive impact of audiovisual-based health education on handwashing practices among preschool children. It is advisable for the research site to consistently reinforce these behaviors by regularly presenting handwashing instructional videos.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant changes in medical students' lives and study methods, with online learning replacing in-person classes and limited opportunities for clinical practice. However, there are few studies about burnout and fear of COVID-19 among medical students, especially in East Asia, and a need for research investigating the impact of gender, a history of COVID-19 infection, and social support. In March 2022, we conducted a cross-sectional web-based survey of 4th/5th year medical students who completed a clinical clerkship in Japan. Our survey included the Japan Burnout Scale (JBS, range 5-85, comprising of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment), fear of COVID-19 scale (range, 1-4), gender, school year, COVID-19 history, household composition, online education use, and financial burden. There were 343 respondents and 42.4% were women. Multivariable adjusted linear regression analyses showed that students with a COVID-19 infection history had significantly higher overall burnout, depersonalization, reduced personal accomplishment, and lower fear of COVID-19. Students with low social support (living alone and greater financial burden) had higher overall burnout, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization. Gender had no significant effect on burnout (mean JBS among women was 38.6 versus 39.3 among men). Gender significantly predicted fear of COVID-19, with women scoring higher (1.60 versus 1.50). The findings of the present study have implications that medical schools should provide pastoral care for their students according to students’ circumstances, especially those who live alone, have a high financial burden, and/or were infected with COVID-19.
