Abstract

Anemia is one of the health problems that still affects Indonesia. One of the causes of anemia is a lack of knowledge and iron supplement adherence, which can lead to anemia. This research aims to determine the effect of group discussion method education on iron supplement adherence and Hemoglobin levels in female students at SMAN 1 Senduro, Lumajang. This research was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest quantitative with a non-probability total sampling technique. The sample used in this research was adolescent girls, with 41 students. Measurement of the level of adherence used the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and given the intervention of pretest and post-test. Data was tested using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results of this research showed that adolescents with iron supplement adherence before group discussions were in the low category 41 (100%). After the group discussion, the high category was 2 (4.9%), low 21 (51.2%); before the group discussion, the average Hb level was 10.65mg/dl; after the group discussion, the average Hb result was 11.37 mg/dl. The results of the Wilcoxon test obtained a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means that there is a significant effect of the provision of education on group discussion methods in adolescent girls. An increase influenced the increase in hemoglobin levels in the consumption of blood supplement tablets in adolescent girls, showing active participation and changes from before and after the group discussion. Respondents who remained anemic after the group discussion were due to a lack of iron needs and a lack of knowledge of consuming nutritious food.

Abstract

Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure that often causes fear and pain in children, making them anxious. If this anxiety is not addressed, it can cause the child to be uncooperative and interfere with the circumcision process. Therefore, both distraction and relaxation therapy are needed to overcome anxiety, one of which is religious music therapy. Religious music therapy is a therapy that involves interpersonal processes using music for physical, emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual aspects of therapy to help patients improve or maintain their health. This type of research is a pre-experimental study using a one group pretest-posttest approach. The sampling technique used is accidental sampling, with 30 children as a sample who will undergo circumcision according to the inclusion criteria of the study. Data was collected using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant effect between the provision of religious music therapy on reducing anxiety in circumcised children, with the results of the Wilcoxon statistical test obtaining a p-value of 0.000 (p <0.05). Physiologically, music therapy will mutate the brain so it can release the analysis process of the song being heard, affect the pituitary to release the hormone beta-endorphin, reduce cortisol or anxiety-triggering hormones so that it can make someone calmer and provide a sense of security that is very helpful in reducing anxiety levels. When listening to music, the stimulus activates the hormone endorphin to help increase relaxation in a person's body.

Abstract

The incidence of work accidents in agricultural areas is quite a lot such as pesticide exposure incidents, exposure to sharp agricultural machinery or equipment, animals and plants that can injure, and positions that are not ergonomic so that it requires immediate handling. This study aims to analyze farmers' knowledge about handling and preventing emergencies in agricultural areas. This study uses the literature review method using 3 databases, namely Google Scholar, Science Direct and PubMed by considering the publication time span for the last five years, from 2020 to 2024.  We used 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria in the review. It was found that some farmers have knowledge about the attitude and ability to handle emergencies. Some farmers have good knowledge, but their attitudes and knowledge related to handling emergencies are still quite low. Low knowledge and attitude towards handling emergencies can lead to undesirable outcomes such as death or long-lasting physical disability. Farmers' knowledge is also important to reduce the risk of work accidents in agricultural areas. Factors that cause a lack of knowledge and attitudes related to handling emergencies are the lack of awareness of farmers and the attitude of farmers who are too indifferent to work accidents, as well as the lack of education and training related to handling or first aid related to work accidents. For this reason, support from the government and health workers is needed to provide education and training to improve farmers' knowledge.

Abstract

The incidence of short toddlers or commonly referred to as stunting is one of the nutritional problems experienced by toddlers in the world today, including Indonesia. Indonesia is a developing country with a stunting prevalence in 2022 of 21.6 percent. This figure is lower than the 2021 figure of 24.4 percent. The incidence of stunting in developing countries can be influenced by various risk factors. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for stunting in toddlers aged 12-59 months. The study was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The results obtained from the analysis of 8 journals show that there are several risk factors that have an important role in the prevalence of stunting in toddlers. Among them are breastfeeding history, maternal nutritional status, parental education, parental height, parental education, ANC visits, parental income, energy adequacy, fat and protein intake and the level of knowledge of mothers, especially about nutrition. However, there are several risk factors that do not have a significant relationship with the incidence of stunting in toddlers including dietary restrictions, consumption of Fe tablets in mothers, history of comorbidities, clean water sanitation, smoking environment, and economic conditions. Stunting is not only related to children's height below the standard.

Abstract

Acute pain frequently affects post-cesarean section patients and, if left unmanaged, can slow recovery and potentially lead to chronic pain. Non-pharmacological methods like Deep Breathing Relaxation combined with Murottal Al-Quran therapy offer a promising solution to alleviate this pain. This case study examines the effectiveness of these techniques in reducing acute pain post-cesarean section in the Teratai Ward of Dr. Haryoto Regional General Hospital, Lumajang. Therapy involves daily 20-minute sessions of QS Ar-Rahman (78 verses) recited by Qori' Ahmad Saud via MP3. The participant was a patient meeting specific criterion: hospitalized for at least 3 days, with moderate pain levels (NRS score), exhibiting signs such as pain complaints, grimacing, protective behaviors, sleep difficulties, of Islamic faith, and with no hearing impairments. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Results showed a notable reduction in pain over the 3-day intervention, with the NRS score decreasing from 7 (moderate) to 4 (mild), accompanied by reduced grimacing, less protective behavior, and improved sleep quality. This study suggests that combining deep breathing relaxation and Murottal Al-Quran offers significant pain relief for post-cesarean patients. It is practical and cost-effective, allowing it to be easily implemented by nursing staff starting from the first-day post-surgery. These findings highlight a feasible approach for pain management in post-cesarean care, providing an effective and accessible option that aligns with the needs of Islamic patients, ultimately enhancing their comfort and recovery process.
