Abstract

Vitamin D is a micronutrient required by the body. Vitamin D has various functions, including its potential to prevent depression. There are studies suggesting that people with depression are at risk of vitamin D deficiency. This study discusses the correlation between vitamin D and depression.  This is a cross-sectional study designed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D levels and depression in elderly (≥ 60 years) residing at Bina Bhakti Nursing Home. Participants who meet the criteria underwent measurement of vitamin D levels and assessment for depression using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Spearman correlation is used as the statistical analysis to evaluate the relationship between variables. 93 respondents met the criteria with average age of 74.19 years (61-97 years). 77 respondents were female (82.8%) and 16 respondents (17.2%) were male. The mean vitamin D level was 9.78 ng/ml (1.07-25.6ng/mL) and the mean GDS score was 4.51 (0-15). The results of the analysis showed a significant negative correlation between vitamin D levels and GDS scale (-0.287, p-value=0.005). Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased GDS scores, indicating that it is important for the elderly to fulfill their vitamin D needs as an preventive measure against depression

Abstract

Indonesia is a tropical country with high sun exposure every year. Sunlight has radiation that is bad for skin health, especially ultraviolet (UV) rays. Without protection, these rays have the potential to cause skin damage such as erythema, hyperpigmentation, premature aging, and even skin cancer. The use of sunscreen is an effort to protect the skin because it has a protective power expressed as Sun Protection Factor (SPF), the SPF value can be determined by using the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. The purpose of this study is to explain the application of the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method in determining the SPF value in natural extract-based sunscreen preparations. The methodology used was a literature study of the last 10 years. The results of this study indicate that the application of UV-Vis spectrophotometric method is very effective and efficient to measure the sun protection value (SPF) of natural extracts. The analysis showed significant variation in SPF values of various plant extracts, with kecombrang (Etlingera elatior) flower extract recording the highest value (106.8) in the ultra of sunscreen protection category, while jejuru leaf extract showed effectiveness in the minimal protection category (3.8478). This study makes an important contribution in exploring the potential of local materials for sustainable sunscreen formulations.

Abstract

The initial survey conducted by researchers at the Port of Meulaboh observed the working processes of the PBM (Port Operators) of the Coal Company. Based on field data, there were 3 cases due to unsafe actions such as being struck by lifting equipment, falling, and being trapped, and there was 1 case due to an unsafe condition where the work accident occurred due to slipping. The research aims to identify risk factors of unsafe actions and unsafe conditions related to work accidents among coal unloading workers at Meulaboh Sea Port. Quantitative analytical study using a cross-sectional design is the methodology employed. Thirty unloading workers make up the study's population and sample size (total sampling). Both univariate and bivariate data analysis are employed. The findings indicated a strong correlation between dangerous condition factors (P value = 0.017 and PR = 2.5) as well as risky behavior characteristics (PR = 4.250 and P value = 0.002). and workplace mishaps involving employees.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas teknik bedah laparoskopi dibandingkan dengan bedah konvensional pada pasien apendisitis akut di rumah sakit dengan pendekatan bibliometrik menggunakan perangkat lunak VOSviewer. Teknik laparoskopi semakin banyak digunakan karena dianggap memberikan hasil klinis yang lebih baik, seperti waktu pemulihan yang lebih cepat, nyeri pascaoperasi yang lebih ringan, dan masa rawat inap yang lebih singkat. Data bibliometrik diambil dari database Scopus dengan kata kunci "laparoscopic appendectomy", "conventional appendectomy", dan "acute appendicitis" untuk publikasi antara tahun 2015–2025. Analisis VOSviewer menunjukkan tren peningkatan penelitian pada teknik laparoskopi, dengan kata kunci yang paling sering muncul meliputi minimally invasive surgery, hospital stay, postoperative pain, dan surgical outcomes. Hasil telaah pustaka menunjukkan bahwa bedah laparoskopi memiliki keunggulan dibandingkan bedah konvensional dalam hal durasi rawat inap dan pemulihan pascaoperasi, meskipun masih terdapat kontroversi dalam hal biaya dan waktu operasi. Dengan demikian, teknik laparoskopi direkomendasikan sebagai pilihan utama dalam penanganan apendisitis akut, terutama di rumah sakit dengan fasilitas dan tenaga medis yang memadai. Penelitian ini juga menyoroti perlunya kajian lokal yang lebih kontekstual terhadap penerapan teknik ini di rumah sakit di Indonesia.(translate inggris)

Abstract

Early marriage in Indonesia, including in Desa Pelimbangan, Kecamatan Cengal, Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ilir, remains a significant reproductive health issue. This phenomenon leads to negative impacts such as the disruption of education, reproductive health problems, high divorce rates, and intergenerational poverty. This study aims to identify the factors influencing early marriage among adolescents in Desa Pelimbangan in 2025. The factors examined include knowledge, socio-cultural factors, and parental involvement in prevention. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 95 couples who married between 2022–2024. Data collection was done using a questionnaire that was tested for validity and reliability. The results show that low knowledge is significantly associated with early marriage (p = 0.026; OR = 3.275), with adolescents having low knowledge being 3.275 times more likely to marry early. Socio-cultural factors were not significantly related (p = 0.053; OR = 2.865), while parental involvement was significantly associated (p = 0.018; OR = 3.358). The conclusion of this study suggests enhancing reproductive health education and strengthening parental roles as effective and sustainable strategies to prevent early marriage.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that serves as a leading cause of death in many countries. One simple method that can help reduce blood pressure is hydrotherapy through warm foot immersion. This study aimed to determine the effect of this therapy on blood pressure among hypertensive patients at Bahu Public Health Center. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-post test approach involving 15 respondents. Data were analyzed using the McNemar test with a significance level of 0.05. The findings revealed a significant decrease in blood pressure after the intervention, with p-values of 0.02 for systolic pressure and 0.04 for diastolic pressure. These results demonstrate that warm foot immersion is effective in helping reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. Thus, this simple and easily applied therapy has the potential to serve as a complementary method in hypertension management at primary healthcare facilities. It is hoped that the community and healthcare providers will consider this non-pharmacological therapy as an alternative for helping control blood pressure.

Abstract

The cadres play an important role in the success of the implementation of maternity classes, so their knowledge about the classes needs to be improved. At Puskesmas Bunut, KIA officers have conducted counseling using the lecture method, but the pre-survey results on 10 cadres show that 80% of them have insufficient knowledge. This study aims to determine the effect of health promotion (promkes) using the brainstorming method on the knowledge of cadres about maternity classes at UPTD Puskesmas Bunut in 2025. The brainstorming method was chosen because it can stimulate creative thinking, broaden perspectives, and enhance understanding. This research uses a quantitative design with a pre-experimental type, involving 78 cadres as samples using total sampling technique. Data was collected through pre-test, intervention using the brainstorming method, and post-test. Data analysis was done using dependent T-test. The results showed an increase in cadres' knowledge from an average of 44.23 before the intervention to 70.32 after the intervention. The dependent T-test showed a significant effect (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05). It is expected that the coordinator midwife at Puskesmas Bunut will regularly improve cadres' knowledge using the brainstorming method and conduct periodic evaluations.

Abstract

The growth of children under five is an important indicator in assessing children’s health and nutritional status. One of the factors influencing the growth of under-five children is maternal knowledge of nutrition. Adequate maternal knowledge is expected to support the optimal fulfillment of children’s nutritional needs. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between maternal nutritional knowledge and the growth of under-five children in Gampong Manyang, Meurah Mulia Subdistrict, North Aceh Regency. This study employed an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all mothers with under-five children in Gampong Manyang, with a total sample of 30 respondents selected using total sampling/purposive sampling techniques. Maternal knowledge data were collected using a questionnaire, while data on children’s growth were obtained through measurements of body weight and height based on anthropometric indicators. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of mothers had good nutritional knowledge, totaling 15 respondents (50%), and most under-five children had normal growth, with 12 children (40%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.018 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between maternal nutritional knowledge and the growth of under-five children. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between maternal nutritional knowledge and the growth of under-five children in Gampong Manyang, Meurah Mulia Subdistrict, North Aceh Regency. It is recommended that health workers enhance nutrition education for mothers of under-five children to support optimal child growth.

Abstract

This study aimed to characterize the antioxidant and anticholesterol activities of ethanol extract of banyan leaves (Ficus benjamina L.) in vitro. Hypercholesterolemia is closely associated with oxidative stress, particularly LDL oxidation, which contributes to atherosclerosis. Ethanol extraction was performed using maceration method with 96% ethanol. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the ABTS radical scavenging method, while anticholesterol activity was determined using the Liebermann–Burchard method measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The ethanol extract demonstrated strong antioxidant activity based on IC₅₀ value and showed significant cholesterol reduction activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The findings indicate that the ethanol extract of Ficus benjamina L. leaves possesses promising bioactivity as a natural antioxidant and anticholesterol agent. These activities are likely associated with the presence of phenolic and flavonoid compounds. The study supports the potential development of standardized herbal preparations from banyan leaf extract.
