Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become a serious threat to public health worldwide, including in Indonesia. Puskesmas is a primary health care facility that plays an important role in the prevention and control of NCDs. The CEKAS (Cek Kesehatan Masyarakat - Community Health Check) Program is a NCD prevention initiative at the Puskesmas of Cianjur District. This article aims to analyze the effectiveness of the CEKAS Program in providing promotive preventive services for NCD control in Cianjur District based on program evaluation and its impact on the local community. This study used observational methods and secondary data analysis from Puskesmas reports related to the CEKAS Program. The results showed that the CEKAS Program played an effective role in reducing the incidence of NCDs in Cianjur Regency through prevention efforts and community education. With early detection and health education provided by the program, the community can take preventive measures to prevent non-communicable diseases and adopt a healthy lifestyle. However, there are still some challenges in the implementation of CEKAS, namely low public awareness, limited resources, lack of interdisciplinary cooperation, and non-comprehensive handling of examination results.

Abstract

The use of contact lenses has become a popular choice for vision correction. However, excessive duration of contact lens wear can affect corneal health and increase the risk of eye complications. This study aims to analyze the effect of contact lens wearing time on corneal health, especially in daily and monthly contact lens users. This research method is a descriptive-analytical study involving 37 respondents who use contact lenses with variations in the duration of use, ranging from 4 to 12 hours per day who have refractive errors and keratometer values (a tool used to measure the curvature of the front surface of the cornea) in the range H range 7.350 mm – 8.25 V 7.10 – 8.10 mm. Data were collected through eye examination using a slit-lamp and measurement of hydration and corneal oxygenation. The moisture content of contact lenses is how much water is in the lens. The higher the moisture content in the contact lenses, the more oxygen reaches the cornea during the wearing of the contact lenses. This study aims to examine the effect of contact lens wearing time on the patient's corneal health, especially from an optometry perspective. The results showed that wearing contact lenses for more than 8 hours per day was significantly correlated with increased symptoms of eye irritation, decreased corneal hydration, and decreased oxygen permeability, potentially leading to complications such as keratitis and dry eye syndrome. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of limiting the time of wearing contact lenses and regular monitoring of eye health for contact lens users to prevent serious complications of the cornea.

Abstract

Hypertension is a high blood pressure disease that commonly occurs in the elderly. Elderly people with hypertension may experience a decline in sleep quality, which can worsen their health condition. A combination of dhikr therapy and soaking feet in warm water is needed as an intervention to improve sleep quality in the elderly. This study aims to analyze the effect of dhikr therapy combined with warm water foot soak therapy on the sleep quality of elderly people with hypertension in the working area of Pekauman Health Center, Banjarmasin. The study is a pre-experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 15 elderly people with hypertension. The intervention was carried out by soaking the respondents’ feet in water at a temperature of 30-45℃ while performing dhikr for 15-20 minutes in the morning and evening for one week. The hypothesis was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Based on the research results, the majority of respondents were aged ≥60 years (80%), female (53.3%), elementary school graduates (86.6%), unemployed (73.3%), had hypertension for ≥10 years (86.7%), had poor sleep quality before therapy (93.3%), and had good sleep quality after therapy (93.3%). The p-value = 0.000, indicating that Ha is accepted, or there is an effect of dhikr therapy combined with warm water foot soak therapy on the sleep quality of the elderly. The application of the combination of dhikr therapy and warm water foot soak can improve the sleep quality of elderly people with hypertension.

Abstract

One of the problems that occurs in the national family planning program in Indonesia is the low absorption of MKJP. A balanced consultation strategy is part of an effort to improve MKJP. The purpose of this study was to examine the choice of contraceptive methods for postpartum mothers related to the use of SKB-KB at the Ibrahim Adjie Health Center. Ibrahim Adjie Health Center was the location of the study in March–April 2023, which used a retrospective cohort design. A total of 81 postpartum mothers were sampled, selected using the simple random sampling technique. For this data set, we used the chi- square test and the SPSS T test. Although the bivariate analysis did not find a correlation between the application of SKB-KB and the choice of method (p = 0.167), the analysis of the relationship between the choice of method and husband's support showed a correlation (p = 0.001), which indicated a significant relationship. The SKB given to postpartum mothers aims to improve understanding and selection of contraceptive methods according to needs, especially for long-term methods. This counseling method will provide the expected results if it is also given to husbands to improve their understanding of contraceptives.

Abstract

Background: Labor is a significant moment that often causes anxiety and pain in women. This pain results from cervical dilation, uterine contractions, and nerve compression. It typically occurs during the first stage of labor with varying intensity: discomfort at 0-3 cm dilation, sharp pain at 4-7 cm, and severe pain at 7-10 cm. Research by Maslikhanah (2020) indicates that 60% of primiparas and 45% of multiparas report severe pain. Labor pain can prolong the process if not managed properly. To address this, pain management techniques such as birthball exercise are recommended during the first stage of labor. Objective: To determine the effect of Birthball Exercise on reducing pain during the first stage of labor. Method:  The method used involves searching for articles using electronic databases like Google Scholar and PUBMED, with publications from the past 5 years, and keywords including birthball exercise, labor pain, and first stage of labor. Results: There is a reduction in labor pain scores following the implementation of the Birthball Exercise method. Conclusions: Implementing birthball exercise during the first stage of labor can help reduce the intensity of labor pain.

Abstract

Personal hygiene refers to cleanliness practices undertaken to maintain both physical and mental health. Poor personal hygiene can increase the risk of diseases related to healthy behaviors and personal hygiene habits. A preliminary survey conducted on school-aged children at SD Kartika II-6 in Bandar Lampung City found that 60% of the students exhibited poor personal hygiene practices. The use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) animated video media in health promotion efforts can help deliver information in a more engaging and easily understandable way for school-aged children. This study aims to determine the impact of health promotion using AI-animated video media on the application of personal hygiene among elementary school students. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test with control group. The research sample consisted of 18 students in the intervention group and 18 students in the control group, selected using the total sampling technique. The research instruments included a questionnaire and a checklist. The statistical tests used for data analysis were the Paired Sample T-test and Independent Sample T-test. The results indicated a difference in the mean score of personal hygiene practices, which increased from 11.22 ± 3.209  to 13.61 ± 3.460 after the intervention using AI-animated video media. This study demonstrates a significant effect of AI-animated video media on personal hygiene practices (p=0.001) among school-aged children. It is recommended that health promotion using AI-animated video media become a routine activity organized by schools in collaboration with local health centers and parents to improve personal hygiene practices and maintain cleanliness and health in school-aged children.
