Abstract

Waste anesthetic gas (WAG) exposure in surgical settings presents occupational health risks to medical personnel, potentially affecting the nervous, respiratory, and reproductive systems. Although safety protocols are available, implementation is often suboptimal, particularly in resource-limited facilities. Objective: This study aimed to explore the health impacts of anesthetic gas exposure on operating room staff at Dr. R. Soeharsono Military Hospital, Banjarmasin, by gaining an in-depth understanding of their perspectives, experiences, and perceived challenges. Methods: A phenomenological qualitative design was employed, with in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with ten purposively selected operating room staff, including anesthesiologists, nurses, and technicians. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and key insights from participant narratives. Participants reported symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, nausea, and decreased concentration, which they associated with prolonged anesthetic gas exposure. While awareness of the risks was generally present, many cited limited ventilation, inadequate scavenging systems, and the absence of routine air quality monitoring. Institutional training and occupational health measures were also perceived as insufficient. Anesthetic gas exposure remains a significant occupational hazard in the surgical unit. Addressing this issue requires improving safety infrastructure, ensuring functional ventilation and scavenging systems, implementing regular air quality assessments, and providing ongoing training to protect the health of medical personnel.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is a lower respiratory tract infection that affects the alveoli and is characterized by cough, shortness of breath, and increased respiratory rate. It remains a global health concern, with approximately 9.2 million cases reported annually worldwide and 309,838 cases in Indonesia in 2018. Non-pharmacological interventions such as effective coughing techniques and peppermint aromatherapy may help alleviate clinical symptoms, particularly by reducing respiratory rate. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of implementing effective coughing techniques and peppermint aromatherapy on changes in respiratory rate among pneumonia patients. Method: This qualitative study used a case study approach conducted over three weeks, from April 8 to April 28, 2025. The intervention was applied for three consecutive days to two respondents, with daily monitoring of respiratory rate changes. Results: After the intervention, the first respondent’s respiratory rate decreased from 25 breaths per minute to 19 breaths per minute, while the second respondent’s rate decreased from 27 breaths per minute to 20 breaths per minute. Conclusion: The combination of effective coughing techniques and peppermint aromatherapy effectively reduced respiratory rate in pneumonia patients. This intervention can be applied independently as a supportive therapy to help improve respiratory function in patients with pneumonia.

Abstract

The prevalence of adult obesity reached 23.4% in 2023 and is predicted to increase annually. Obesity is often considered a major risk factor for the development of the metabolic disease type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which can affect glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. This literature review aims to analyze the relationship between obesity and T2DM. The method used was a qualitative literature review through PubMed and Google Scholar. The initial search yielded 44 articles, and after selection, 19 articles were identified for duplication and relevance. These articles were then re-screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, leaving only eight eligible articles. The selected literature met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and was published within the last 10 years. The analysis showed that increased body mass index (BMI), visceral fat accumulation, and imbalanced fat distribution significantly contribute to an increased risk of T2DM. Obesity management strategies through lifestyle modification, pharmacological therapy, and surgical intervention have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of T2DM and improving patient glycemic control. These findings emphasize the importance of obesity prevention and management as an integral part of efforts to reduce the incidence of T2DM.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder commonly affecting adolescents and young adults, often leading to decreased self-confidence and quality of life. Its pathogenesis involves hormonal imbalance, bacterial colonization, and environmental influences, including nutrition. This study aims to analyze the nutritional factors that aggravate acne vulgaris through a literature review. Articles were obtained from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using the keywords “acne vulgaris,” “nutrition,” “diet,” “glycemic index,” “dairy products,” and “inflammation,” limited to studies published between 2015–2025. Out of 48 identified articles, 17 met the inclusion criteria, including observational studies, randomized trials, and systematic reviews discussing the relationship between diet and acne. Results indicate that high-glycemic foods, dairy products, whey protein, and saturated fats exacerbate acne through hormonal and inflammatory mechanisms, while fiber, fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids have protective effects. In conclusion, nutrition plays a significant role in acne severity, emphasizing the importance of balanced dietary patterns and nutrition education as supportive strategies for acne management, particularly among adolescents.

Abstract

The problem of HIV/AIDS in adolescents not only has a negative impact mentally and emotionally, but can also have a negative impact on physical health, the immune system in the body and if not treated properly it will cause death. This not only affects the adolescents themselves, but also on families, communities, and nations. This research method uses a one group pretest posttest design. The sampling technique used is total sampling obtained as many as 27 people. Data collection techniques using questionnaires on knowledge, attitudes and behavior. Before the data analysis test, a normality test was carried out using the Shapiro Wilk test and an analysis test for knowledge, attitudes and behavior using the Paired T-Test. The results of the study showed that there was an effect of providing health education with animated videos on knowledge, attitudes and behavior with a P value = 0.000 (p value < 0.05). The modules and videos from this research can be used as educational media for adolescents to increase adolescent knowledge about HIV/AIDS.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is one of the most common dermatological conditions affecting more than 0.5 billion people worldwide. Several studies have shown that body mass index has a positive correlation with acne vulgaris. This systematic review aims to evaluate whether body mass index can serve as a prognosic biomarker for the severity of acne vulgaris due to prevention and therapeutics of acne vulgaris. A systematic search was conducted using Publish or Perish following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Studies included human participants aged 14–22 from Asia. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing 1,563 participants (including acne cases and controls where applicable). Five studies demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between body mass index and acne severity. The remaining four showed inconsistent or non-significant associations, potentially due to differences in sample size, population characteristics, or control for confounding factors such as diet, hormonal status, and medication use. Most studies used standardized acne severity scales such as the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS). The findings indicate that high body mass index are generally associated with increased severity of acne vulgaris, supporting the potential body mass index could be a valuable addition to acne prevention and management strategies.

Abstract

Menopause is a natural phase marking the end of a woman’s reproductive period, with the average age in Indonesia being 49.98 years. However, the prevalence of early menopause has increased from 14% in 2019 to 20.2% in 2021, impacting quality of life and raising the risk of degenerative diseases. This study aims to examine the factors influencing early menopause through a literature review. Findings show that this condition is shaped by a complex interaction of various factors. Biological factors such as age at menarche, age at childbirth, and contraceptive use are associated with the timing of menopause. Lifestyle factors including physical activity, diet, smoking habits, stress, and weight-loss drug use also play a role. Health history such as chronic illness, hormonal disorders, and non-ideal body mass index can accelerate menopause. Socio-demographic factors, including education and occupation, affect women’s health behavior and knowledge. Therefore, early menopause is the result of biological, lifestyle, health, and social interactions. Education, health promotion, and interventions are needed to prepare women and reduce its negative impacts. Keywords: Menopause Factors, Reproductive Health, Early Menopause.
