Abstract

Indonesia, as a tropical country, has high ultraviolet (UV) radiation intensity, which increases the risk of skin damage due to oxidative stress. This study aimed to determine the correlation between Sun Protection Factor (SPF) values and antioxidant capacity of the ethyl acetate fraction from bandotan leaves (Ageratum conyzoides L.). The study involved extraction by maceration using 96% ethanol, liquid-liquid fractionation, phytochemical screening, antioxidant activity testing using the ABTS method, and SPF value determination by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited the highest antioxidant activity with an IC₅₀ value of 21.726 ppm (very strong category) and the highest SPF value of 23.28 (ultra protection category). Statistical analysis indicated a significant positive correlation between antioxidant capacity and SPF values, with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.647 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.418 (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that the ethyl acetate fraction of bandotan leaves has potential to be developed as a natural sunscreen ingredient with high antioxidant activity.

Abstract

Pedada fruit (Sonneratia caseolaris) is a mangrove species recognized for its rich content of bioactive compounds that may provide various health benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant and anticholesterol activities of the ethyl acetate fraction of pedada fruit and to analyze the correlation between these two biological activities. The extraction process was conducted using ethanol maceration followed by solvent–solvent fractionation to obtain the ethyl acetate fraction. Antioxidant activity was measured using the ABTS radical scavenging method, while anticholesterol activity was assessed through an in vitro cholesterol inhibition assay. The effectiveness of both activities was expressed in IC₅₀ values. The results demonstrated that the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited strong antioxidant and anticholesterol properties, with IC₅₀ values of 20.555 ppm and 9.636 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive and statistically significant relationship between antioxidant and anticholesterol activities (r = 0.601; p = 0.005), indicating promising potential as a natural therapeutic agent.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia, defined as elevated levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream, is widely recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Antioxidants play an important role in preventing oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals through electron donation, thereby helping to reduce lipid peroxidation associated with high cholesterol levels. This study aims to evaluate the cholesterol-lowering activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of buni leaves (Antidesma bunius) through laboratory experimentation. The leaves were extracted using the maceration method with 96% ethanol, followed by fractionation with ethyl acetate to obtain the targeted fraction. The in vitro anticholesterol activity was determined using the Liebermann–Burchard method and measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Data analysis was performed using linear regression to calculate the IC₅₀ value. The results demonstrated that the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited very strong cholesterol-lowering activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 1,659 ppm/µg/mL, indicating promising potential as a natural antihypercholesterolemic agent.

Abstract

Parents who have children with hearing and speech disabilities often face social stigma from their surroundings. This stigma not only affects social relationships, but also influences the psychological condition of parents and the parenting patterns they apply. This study aims to describe the coping strategies used by parents who have children with hearing and speech disabilities in facing social stigma. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews. This study uses a purpose sampling technique with 6 participants in Kupang City and the data is analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of experience and coping strategies used by participants. The results show that the stigma experienced by parents gives rise to negative emotions, parental concerns, and obstacles in parenting. In dealing with stigma, parents used two forms of stress coping, namely problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping, although there were differences in coping strategies between mothers and fathers. However, overall, stress coping strategies played an important role in helping parents deal with social stigma, maintain emotional balance, and maintain their role in caring for children with hearing and speech disabilities.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading infectious causes of death worldwide and continues to pose a major public health challenge. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is transmitted through airborne droplets when infected individuals cough or speak. Without treatment, TB has a mortality rate of approximately 50%; however, about 85% of patients can be successfully treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs administered for 4–6 months according to standard guidelines. Indonesia is among the eight countries contributing the highest number of TB cases globally, yet national treatment adherence remains suboptimal. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with medication regularity among pulmonary TB patients in Indonesia using data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. A cross-sectional design was applied using secondary data from respondents aged ≥15 years who had been diagnosed with TB and received treatment, with a weighted sample of 667,421 individuals. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Rao-Scott Chi-Square), and multivariate logistic regression with backward elimination. The prevalence of regular medication intake was 72.21%. Education level, residence, presence of a treatment supervisor (PMO), type of therapy, and comorbidities were significantly associated with medication regularity. Multivariate analysis identified the presence of a PMO as the most dominant factor, followed by higher education and absence of comorbidities. Strengthening treatment supervision and implementing Health Belief Model–based health education are essential to support the 2030 TB elimination target in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Hand grip strength is an essential indicator of physical capacity and nutritional status that can identify obesity risk. Adipose tissue accumulation in central obesity contributes to decreased hand grip strength quality through impaired muscle force transmission. Previous studies showed inconsistent results regarding the relationship between waist circumference and hand grip strength, especially in populations with high physical activity. Objective: To analyze the relationship between waist circumference and hand grip strength in male construction workers with high physical activity in Medan City. Methods: This descriptive-analytic study with cross-sectional design involved 100 male construction workers aged 30-39 years selected using purposive sampling technique. Waist circumference was measured using measuring tape, while hand grip strength was measured using handgrip dynamometer. Data analysis used Chi-Square test with significance level α=0.05. Results: The majority of respondents had normal waist circumference (64%) with mode 70 cm and normal grip strength category (53%) with mode 41.7 kg. Chi-Square test showed significant relationship between waist circumference and hand grip strength (p=0.039). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between waist circumference and hand grip strength in construction workers. High physical activity does not completely prevent central obesity, therefore nutritional management and health education programs are needed for optimization of body composition and muscle functional capacity.

Abstract

Indonesia faces various metabolic health problems that are often associated with food and beverage consumption, including chronic kidney disease. One contributing factor is the excessive use of food preservatives such as sodium benzoate, which may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, oxidative stress, inflammation, chronic kidney failure, and carcinogenic effects. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sellers’ knowledge level and the use of sodium benzoate preservative in jumbo iced tea sold in Kedungmundu and Sendangmulyo Subdistricts, Semarang City. The study employed an analytic quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. A total of 40 jumbo iced tea sellers were selected using simple random sampling. Sodium benzoate testing was conducted using UV-Visible spectrophotometry, and data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test. The results showed that 70% of respondents had a high level of knowledge, while 5% of samples were positive for sodium benzoate. Statistical analysis revealed a significant inverse relationship between sellers’ knowledge level and the use of sodium benzoate (p = 0.011; r = -0.397). This indicates that higher knowledge levels are associated with a lower likelihood of sodium benzoate use. In conclusion, there is a significant negative correlation between sellers’ knowledge and the use of sodium benzoate in jumbo iced tea.

Abstract

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remain a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Nifedipine and labetalol are commonly recommended as first-line antihypertensive agents during pregnancy; however, evidence regarding their comparative effectiveness and safety is still evolving. This systematic review aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness and safety of nifedipine versus labetalol in the management of gestational hypertension, chronic hypertension, and preeclampsia. The review was conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for randomized controlled trials published between 2016 and December 2025. Studies comparing nifedipine monotherapy with labetalol monotherapy and reporting systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure outcomes were included. Six RCTs involving 2,806 pregnant women met the inclusion criteria. Both drugs were effective in reducing blood pressure. Nifedipine demonstrated a faster onset of blood pressure reduction, particularly in acute hypertensive emergencies, with mean differences ranging from 12 to 17 minutes compared with labetalol. No significant differences were observed in long-term blood pressure control or neonatal outcomes. Maternal adverse effects were generally mild and comparable. Overall, both agents exhibit similar efficacy and safety profiles, with nifedipine offering advantages in rapid blood pressure control in acute settings.

Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disorder frequently affecting older adults, characterized by symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and reduced physical capability. These symptoms can lead to decreased independence and a lower quality of life among the elderly. Tai Chi exercise is recognized as one of the recommended non-pharmacological approaches for managing osteoarthritis. This paper aims to explore the effects of Tai Chi exercise on alleviating knee pain in older adults with osteoarthritis. The methods applied include a literature review, a Pre-test Post-test design, and theoretical nursing care analysis using a community nursing framework. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The Tai Chi program was conducted three times per week, with each session lasting 20–30 minutes. Findings show that Tai Chi exercise helps reduce knee pain intensity, enhances joint range of motion, strengthens muscles, and improves balance and physical mobility in the elderly. Furthermore, Tai Chi promotes relaxation, which aids in pain management by decreasing stress responses and increasing endorphin release. Overall, the study concludes that Tai Chi exercise is an effective non-pharmacological nursing intervention for managing knee pain in older adults with osteoarthritis and holds potential for incorporation into elderly healthcare programs.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a public health problem with an increasing prevalence and a higher occurrence among women than men. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of T2DM among women aged ≥15 years in Indonesia based on data from the Survei Kesehatan Indonesia 2023. This research was a secondary data analysis using a cross-sectional design involving 638,177 women who met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test and calculation of Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that the prevalence of T2DM was 1.1%. Significant associated factors included age ≥40 years (POR=22.3), urban residence (POR=2.08), obesity (POR=1.69), overweight (POR=1.58), light physical activity (POR=1.34), and unemployment (POR=1.11). Protective factors included not having a partner (POR=0.57), vigorous physical activity (POR=0.59), and underweight BMI (POR=0.62), while educational level was not significantly associated (p=0.259). T2DM among women is a multifactorial disease influenced by biological, social, behavioral, and environmental factors, indicating the need for risk-based promotive and preventive interventions.
