Abstract

Depression is a psychological disorder that affects aspects of affection, physiology, cognition, and individual behavior, and has an impact on significant changes in daily life. Data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (2023) shows a national prevalence of depression of 1.4%, with the age group of 15-24 years recording the highest rate of 2%. One approach that is considered safe and effective in managing depression is mindfulness meditation. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of meditation on depression through a journal review approach. Although meditation has several limitations, such as considerable time requirements, challenges in forming habits, discomfort in consistency of practice, and non-instantaneous results, various studies have shown significant benefits of meditation in improving mental health, including in managing social anxiety disorder, PTSD, generalized anxiety, and depression.

Abstract

Menstruation is a biological process that occurs periodically in females and can be influenced by various factors, one of which is stress level. Adolescence is a period that is vulnerable to stress due to academic, social, and emotional pressures. Prolonged stress can disrupt hormonal balance, especially hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle, such as estrogen and progesterone, potentially causing irregular menstrual cycles.Objective: To determine the correlation between stress level and the menstrual cycle on the tenth-grade female adolescents at SMA Negeri 1 Palangka Raya.Method: This research used a quantitative method with a Cross-Sectional approach. The population consisted of all tenth-grade female students at SMA Negeri 1 Palangka Raya, totaling 280 individuals. A sample of 74 respondents was selected using Accidental Sampling. The instruments used were the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS 42) to measure stress levels and a menstrual cycle questionnaire to assess menstrual regularity. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed that most respondents experienced mild to moderate stress levels, and the majority had irregular menstrual cycles. Statistical analysis showed a p-value= 0.00 < 0.05, indicating a significant correlation between stress level and menstrual cycles.Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between stress level and menstrual cycles in fremale adulescent. The support from schools and families was needed to help adolescents manage stress and maintain reproductive health. Future researchers were encouraged to investigate other factors that may affect the menstrual cycle.

Abstract

Blood clams are a seafood widely consumed by coastal communities, including in Muara Angke, Jakarta. However, blood clams are susceptible to microplastic contamination due to marine pollution. Consumption of seafood contaminated with microplastics can cause health impacts, such as organ and hormonal disorders. This study aims to determine the relationship between community knowledge and attitudes with blood clam processing behavior in Rusun UPRS Blok G Muara Angke. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 117 respondents from RT 10, RT 11, and RT 12, selected proportionally. The instrument was a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results showed that 76.1% of respondents had high knowledge, 56.4% had a positive attitude, and 64.1% showed good consumption behavior. The chi-square test showed no significant relationship between knowledge and consumption behavior (p = 0.074), but there was a significant relationship between attitude and consumption behavior (p = 0.014). These results indicate that attitude has a greater influence on safe processing behavior than knowledge. Further education is needed for the community regarding the dangers of microplastics and safe seafood processing methods.

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems in children, such as dental caries, can cause toothache that disrupts sleep and concentration, impair chewing ability which reduces nutritional intake, and potentially affect cognitive and psychomotor development. According to the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI, 2023), the prevalence of dental caries among children aged 3–4 years is 81.1%, among those aged 5–9 years is 92.6%, and among those aged 10–14 years is 73.4%. Preliminary survey results indicated that most kindergarten children experience dental and oral health problems. This study aims to examine the relationship between parents’ knowledge and the maintenance of dental and oral health in kindergarten children in the working area of UPTD Ulak Rengas Public Health Center, North Lampung, in 2025. This is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 59 parents, selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The frequency distribution test results showed that 19 respondents (32.2%) had poor dental health maintenance, while 40 respondents (67.8%) had good dental health maintenance. The chi-square statistical test revealed a significant relationship between knowledge (p-value = 0.007; OR = 5.815) and dental health maintenance. It is recommended that the public health center strengthen regular and scheduled dental and oral health education and counseling programs for the community through posyandu (integrated health service posts), schools, and other community activities.
