Abstract

Research in the United States around 70% to 80% of mothers who give birth expect the birth to take place without feeling pain. Currently, 20% to 50% of deliveries in private hospitals in Indonesia are carried out by Caesarean section. The current trend is for mothers to choose to give birth via cesarean section to avoid pain during normal birth. This study was to determine the effect of using a birthball on the intensity of labor pain during the first active phase. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest two-group design. The population of this study is all mothers giving birth normally at the Az-Zahra clinic. The sample in the study consisted of 30 respondents. The research instrument uses the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) sheet. Data were analyzed using the Paired T-test and Independent T-test. The average pretest labor pain score in the experimental group was 7.13, while the post-test was 3.33, and the p-value was 0.489. The average pretest labor pain score in the control group was 6.53, while the post-test was 7.80, and the p-value was 0.044. The results of the Independent T-test showed a p-value of 0.489. Giving the Birthball method can reduce the intensity of labor pain during the first active phase. It is hoped that the Birthball method can be applied in all maternity clinics or independent midwives in Indonesia.

Abstract

Anemia is a health problem in pregnant women with a high prevalence which can have an impact on maternal and fetal death. Pregnancy can aggravate the incidence of anemia due to hemodilution. Providing Fe tablets and education on good nutrition can prevent anemia. Avocados and honey are foods that contain Fe and Vitamin C which can increase blood hemoglobin levels to prevent anemia. This study aims to determine the effect of avocado and honey on blood hemoglobin levels in third-trimester pregnant women in the intervention group and control group and to determine the average hemoglobin levels before and after treatment in the experimental group and control group. The research design used was quasi-experimental research with a pre and post-test design with the control group. The sample in this study was 30 respondents in the third trimester of pregnancy, consisting of 15 respondents in the control group and 15 respondents in the intervention group. The sampling technique uses a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used a hemoglobin examination observation sheet. Data were analyzed using paired samples t-test and independent t-test. The results of the study showed that there was a significant average difference in hemoglobin levels before and after being given avocado in the intervention group, p=0.000. Avocados and honey can increase hemoglobin levels in third-trimester pregnant women. It is hoped that avocados and honey can be applied as nutritional education in health services.

Abstract

Hypertension is a disease that can cause various complications and is made worse by psychological distress, where cases are increasing at the Bangkalan Community Health Center. This research aims to analyze the correlation between spiritual meaning in regulating psychological distress and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in hypertension patients. This research method is correlation analytic with a cross-sectional approach with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guideline. population of 76 patients and a sample of 62 taken using simple random sampling. The independent variable is spiritual meaning, measured using the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES). Meanwhile, the dependent variable is distress, measured by the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale and the mean arterial pressure (MAP) value. The collected data was then subjected to statistical tests using Spearman ranks with an alpha value of 0.05. The research results show a relationship between spiritual meaning and psychological distress with a p-value of 0.016 < 0.05 and a correlation coefficient of -0.305. Spirituality is also significantly related to the mean arterial pressure (MAP) value with p value 0.005 < 0.05, and the correlation coefficient is -0.351. Spirituality has an impact on reducing psychological distress, affecting the function of the Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal (HPA) Axis and Sympathetic Adrenal Medullary (SAM) Axis. The SAM Axis will balance the secretion of norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E), which affects the balance of contraction of smooth cardiac muscle cells, vasoconstriction and vasodilation, heart rate, and normalizes sodium levels so that it can control blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Vegetable farmers risk being infected with Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) due to frequent direct contact with soil contaminated by STH eggs. Worm infections transmitted through the soil cause disturbances in the tissues and organs of the body by taking nutrients from the vegetable growers' bodies, which can cause serious complications. The search process was carried out using a literature review using four databases, namely Google Scholar, Science Direct, WorldCat, and PubMed, with a publication range of 2018-2023. From all search results, ten articles match the research criteria. The results showed that vegetable farmers who have good personal hygiene can reduce the risk of STH infection. The presence of health workers here is expected to enable them to carry out health promotion, health education, and outreach to the community, especially to vegetable farmers, regarding good personal hygiene to prevent STH transmission.

Abstract

The prevalence of heart failure patients is steadily increasing worldwide. The quality of life among them was also shown to be decreasing day by day. Inadequate health-related quality of life in heart failure patients leads to an increase in mortality rate. Thus, effective management of heart failure patients is essential. The present study was to examine the intervention based on the six-minute walk test to improve health-related quality of life for patients with heart failure. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in the cardiovascular center of the acute care setting. The Six-minute Walk Test (6MWT), in accordance with the American Thoracic Society guideline, was implemented as the intervention procedure. The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLWHF) was used to measure the health-related quality of life of patients. Fifteen heart failure patients enrolled in the study for a month; 73.3% were male with a mean age of 57.47 (SD 14.32). Overall, the health-related quality of life in heart failure patients was poor at the baseline of the study, then their quality of life significantly increased to good quality after implementing the 6MWT. An improvement in the functional performance was also found among them. This study indicates that the 6MWT was suitable, safe, and simply performed in heart failure patients, which can effectively improve the health-related quality of life of patients with heart failure.

Abstract

Snake bites are the one that causes high rates of morbidity and mortality among workers in the agricultural sector. Snake bites can be a medical emergency that can endanger human life, and snake venom can damage local tissues, resulting in permanent disability and amputation. This study aims to identify farmers' knowledge related to snakebite management. A literature review searched three databases, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, for all study designs between 2019 and 2023. The researcher found ten studies that met the inclusion criteria in the review. The high risk of snake bites for farmers makes it essential for farmers to know the most critical things in snakebite management. When bitten by a snake, the most important thing to do is first aid treatment in a threatening situation. Some factors that can affect the management of snake bites on farmers are the characteristics of farmers who are usually male with a low educational background and level of knowledge. In addition, low experience will affect the ability to handle first aid. Nurses can be present as extension workers to increase farmers' knowledge about first aid for snake bites to farmers.

Abstract

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and neurological impairment in Indonesia. This brain attack is a medical emergency that must be treated quickly, precisely, and carefully. This research aims to determine the effect of positioning techniques on the incidence of decubitus in stroke infarction patients. The research design used was a pre-experiment with a static group comparison design approach. The sampling technique used in this research was purposive sampling, with a total sample of 24 respondents. The treatment group consisted of 12 respondents, and the control group consisted of 12 respondents. After being evaluated for a month, the Chi-Square test results were obtained with a p-value of 0.013, which means less than 0.05; this means there is an influence between positioning and the incidence of pressure ulcers. In the treatment group, the results showed that ten respondents did not experience pressure ulcers after treatment; in the control group, eight suffered from pressure ulcers. This can occur due to patient compliance and the surrounding environment in activities such as tilting left and right to prevent pressure ulcers. This positioning action, carried out between 2-3 hours can make blood circulation in the body run smoothly, so this can reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients who are lying down in bed.

Abstract

Commiphora gileadensis, an aromatic plant, is traditionally used in Middle Eastern countries to prevent pain and inflammation. Fatty acid composition, peroxide number and free fatty acidity analyzes of commercially available C. gileadensis balsam oil and investigation of its effect on cell viability. Commercially available C. gileadensis balsam oil fatty acid composition, peroxide number and free fatty acidity values were determined by the IUPAC IID19 method, and MTT cell viability tests were performed on L929 fibroblast and HeLa (human epithelial cervical carcinoma) cell lines. Commercially available C. gileadensis balsam oil did not exert cytotoxic effects on both L929 fibroblast and HeLa (human epithelial cervical carcinoma) cell lines and promoted the growth of cell lines.  Due to its growth promoting feature on L929 fibroblast cells, which is a healthy cell line, this material can be used as a cell culture medium additive.

Abstract

Tangerang City Hospital still has cases of preeclampsia where in 2022 there will be 5% of preeclampsia cases. Several factors are associated with the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women including maternal age, parity, history of hypertension, history of DM, and stress level. This study aimed to determine the relationship between stress levels and the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women at Tangerang City Hospital in 2023. This study is an observational analytic study with a case-control design. The population is all pregnant women aged ≥ 20 weeks who visited the RSUD Kota Tangerang during the study. A purposive sampling technique was used to enroll the sample. The research instrument used is the DASS 42 questionnaire to assess stress levels. The relationship between stress levels and pre-eclampsia was analyzed by the chi-square test. The results of the univariate study showed that the majority of pregnant women with normal stress levels (50%) had mild stress (19.4%), moderate stress (14.5%), severe stress (13.9%), and very severe stress (1.9%). The results of the bivariate study showed that there was a significant relationship between stress levels in pregnant women ≥ 20 weeks gestation (p = 0.000) and the incidence of preeclampsia. Pregnant women with mild stress levels are at risk of preeclampsia with an OR of 4.7. It is hoped that pregnant women who experience stress in their pregnancies can accompanied by their families during their pregnancy so that they can reduce the risk of preeclampsia.
