Abstract

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia remains one of the highest in Southeast Asia, indicating unequal access to healthcare services. Antenatal Care (ANC) visits are a crucial indicator in reducing MMR; however, ANC visits coverage in several areas, including Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province, remains below the target. Thus, this research aims to identify and analyze the factors associated with ANC visits in the working area of the UPTD Puskesmas Popayato Barat, Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province. This research is an analytical survey research utilizing a cross-sectional design. The population consists of all pregnant women in the working area of Puskesmas Popayato Barat, totaling 66 individuals. The sampling method is done through non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique, selected based on specific criteria relevant to this research. The sample size is determined using Yamane's formula, resulting in a total of 57 respondents. The analyzed variables include knowledge, family support, healthcare provider support, distance to healthcare facilities, and ANC visits. The data are collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The findings show that there is a significant relationship between pregnant women’s knowledge (p<0.05), family support (p<0.05), and healthcare provider support (p<0.05) with ANC visits. Conversely, distance to healthcare facilities did not show a significant correlation. Transportation barriers, limited support from healthcare providers, and insufficient knowledge among pregnant women regarding the importance of ANC also influenced the low ANC visit coverage. Thus, this research concludes that increasing knowledge, enhancing family support, and strengthening the role of healthcare providers is essential to improve ANC visits, ultimately contributing to the reduction of MMR in Pohuwato Regency.

Abstract

Depression literacy refers to an individual's ability to recognize, understand, and manage depression, particularly among patients with chronic illnesses such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Low depression literacy can affect how patients cope with the psychological conditions accompanying their illness. This study aims to describe the level of depression literacy among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Puskesmas Kabila. This research employs a quantitative method with a descriptive survey design. The study population consists of 292 respondents, with a sample of 74 respondents selected using accidental sampling. The research instrument used is the D-Lit questionnaire to measure the level of depression literacy. Data were analyzed descriptively to determine the distribution of depression literacy levels among respondents. The results indicate that most respondents have a moderate level of depression literacy. These findings suggest that although respondents have an understanding of depression, further educational efforts are needed to improve their depression literacy to a higher level. Therefore, the results of this study can serve as a basis for Puskesmas Kabila in developing more effective educational programs to enhance depression literacy among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, enabling them to better understand their psychological condition and improve their ability to manage their overall health.

Abstract

The number of patients diagnosed with lung disease at Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Hospital increased in 2023 by 1,947 cases. Initial observation results on 10 patients treated with lung disease were obtained that all of them were active smokers. The purpose of this study is to find out smoking addiction in male patients with lung disease. This research method uses a quantitative descriptive research design to determine the picture of smoking addiction in male patients with lung disease at Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Hospital, Gorontalo City. The population in this study is 502 respondents with a sample size of 100 respondents using the accidental sampling technique. The results of this study showed that male patients with lung disease who had very low smoking dependence were 19 respondents (19.0%), low smoking dependence was 23 respondents (23.0%), moderate smoking dependence was 42 respondents (42.0%), high smoking dependence was 14 respondents (14.0%) and very high smoking dependence was 2 respondents (2.0%). Smokers have a higher risk of experiencing symptoms of respiratory disorders and lung dysfunction because cigarettes contain 4000 harmful chemicals. It is hoped that this study can provide an overview of smoking addiction that can reduce the incidence of lung disease.

Abstract

Kecombrang (Etlingera elatior) is a plant commonly used in traditional medicine and as a food seasoning by the Indonesian community. It contains various secondary metabolites such as saponins, tannins, alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds, which are distributed from its rhizomes to its flowers. This literature review aims to provide a deeper understanding of the active compounds in kecombrang and their potential health benefits for humans. The study was conducted as a literature review using the PRISMA method, with data sources from four major databases: ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Findings from several studies involving rats as test subjects indicate that the active compounds in kecombrang exhibit antioxidant effects that protect cells from oxidative damage. Additionally, kecombrang extract demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity by directly inhibiting the enzymes COX and lipoxygenase, thereby reducing the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

Abstract

Anxiety in children during hospitalization presents a significant barrier to effective care. When hospitalized, children often exhibit a range of distress behaviors such as aggression, crying, biting, and kicking. Children are individuals with unique thought patterns and environmental understandings. The familiar routines and parental presence at home are absent in the hospital setting, which poses a stark contrast especially for preschool-aged children. This study aimed to assess the impact of LEGO play therapy on reducing anxiety in preschool children hospitalized I the pediatric ward of RSUD Toto Kabila. This quantitative research employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-post test approach involving a single group of respondents receiving LEGO play therapy. The study included 33 respondents selected through accidental sampling, utilizing questionnaires as the research instrument. Statistical analysis was cocducted using the non-parametric Wilcoxon test. The findings revealed (p-value <0.05) 0.000, meaning LEGO play therapy reduces anxiety in preschool children during hospitalization, with LEGO play therapy as a non-pharmacological intervention to alleviate anxiety in hospitalized children. It is recommended that nursing practioners incorporate this therapy into pediatric care to help reduce anxiety associated with hospitalization.
