Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is a condition characterized by long-term inadequate intake of energy and protein, identified through Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) measurements with a threshold of less than 23.5 cm. According to the 2013 Riskesdas data, the prevalence of CED among individuals aged 15-19 years in Indonesia was 46.6%, which decreased to 36.3% in 2018 for non-pregnant women. In East Java, the prevalence of CED among 15-19-year-olds was 52.5% in 2013 and 37.73% in 2018. Despite this decline, low albumin levels often signal poor nutritional status, typically resulting from prolonged nutrient deficiencies. Snakehead fish (Channa striata), known for its high protein content, particularly albumin, offers a potential solution for improving protein intake and blood albumin levels among adolescent girls at risk of CED. In this study, snacks made from snakehead fish provide significant protein, including 216.1 kcal and 8.01g of protein (Nugget), 214.88 kcal and 13.76g of protein (Siomay), and 216.4 kcal and 7.8g of protein (Ekado). When combined with vegetables, these snacks are expected to improve nutritional values, especially protein and albumin levels. This study aims to assess the impact of snakehead fish (Channa striata)-based snacks on protein intake and blood albumin levels in adolescent girls at risk of CED. Methods: The study used an experimental, quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The intervention was provided twice a week for 2 months, with monitoring through 24-hour food recall forms and food records. Results: The results showed a significant improvement in protein intake (p = 0.009, paired sample T-test) and blood albumin levels (p = 0.000, Wilcoxon test) after the intervention. Conclusion: Snakehead fish (Channa striata)-based snacks effectively enhance protein intake and blood albumin levels in adolescent girls at risk of CED.

Abstract

Background: Cases of hypertension in Indonesia show a significant increase. Hypertension continues to lead to complications when people with hypertension have not implemented self-management regularly. Management of hypertension which includes routine medication and healthy lifestyle changes requires good self-management. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-management and blood pressure of hypertensive patients in the Kediri I Health Center Working Area. Methods: This study uses a quantitative research design (non-experimental) using a cross-sectional approach. The sample amounted to 82 respondents obtained by purposive sampling technique, who met the inclusion criteria, namely hypertensive patients aged 15-59 years. Data collection instruments used the Hypertension Self-Management Behavior Questionnaire (HSMBQ) and blood pressure measurements using a sphygmomanometer. Results: Data analysis using the Spearman rank test showed the results of ρ = 0.000 and the correlation coefficient r = -0.732 which means that there is a significant and strong relationship (0.60 - 0.79) between the two variables. The majority of respondents showed poor self-management behavior 56.1%. Conclusion: It is hoped that it can be used as information for the relevant health centers, that the importance of implementing self-management to prevent an increase in blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) is often experienced by women of childbearing age. The main complaint is abdominal pain that spreads from the lower back to the thighs. The pain complaint results in disruption of daily activities. The purpose of the study was to identify the description of type of coping, and coping mechanisms in women who experience dysmenorrhea. Methods: The type of research used was descriptive exploratory with a population of 252 women of childbearing age who experienced dysmenorrhea. The sample size of this study was 152 women (Krejci & Morgan table). The independent variable is dysmenorrhea, and the dependent variable is the type and coping mechanisms. The instrument for identifying the type, and coping mechanisms used a questionnaire. Data on women of childbearing age who experienced dysmenorrhea were obtained from secondary data from the Village Midwife's records. Data collection techniques used questionnaires and secondary data observations. Data analysis was carried out descriptively, in the form of frequency distribution percentages and prevalence ratios. Results: The results showed that women who experienced dysmenorrhea tended to use adaptive coping. The most frequently used coping mechanism was problem-focused coping. Women who work and are active in sports are risk factors that can reduce dysmenorrhea. Adolescent age, secondary education, age of menarche less than 12 years, and menstrual periods more than 7 days are triggers for dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: regular exercise and work are positive coping mechanisms that can reduce dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

Background: Watermelon juice is a refreshing drink to quench the extreme tropical heat thirst. Packed with simple carbs, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, it boosts immunity and aids in the body's recovery from dehydration. Moreover, it’s a delicious and filling drink. A study was carried out to investigate the effects of ethanolic extracts on watermelon juices. Methods: Physicochemical changes such as total soluble solid, vitamin C, acidity, pH, non-enzymatic browning reaction, sensory evaluation, and total viable count were measured at 7-day intervals over 28 days. Results: The findings showed that clove and sodium benzoate had a greater effect on unpasteurized juice than black pepper and sodium benzoate on pasteurized juice. Clove and sodium benzoate outperformed the others in unpasteurized juice. For unpasteurized and pasteurized juice, black pepper and sodium benzoate showed greater results than others. Besides, sodium benzoate (3.10×102, 1.2×102, 0×102, and 1.0×102) and cinnamon (4.0×102, 2.2×102, 3.0×102 and 2.0×102) presented better antimicrobial activity than others for unpasteurized juice. Sodium benzoate (3.0×102, 1.10×102, 0×102, and 2.0×102) and black pepper (1.20×102, 2.1×102, 2.0×102, and 1.10×102) displayed better antimicrobial activity than others for pasteurized juice. For both unpasteurized and pasteurized juice, cinnamon and sodium benzoate were comparatively more popular than others. Conclusions: Based on the findings, these extracts could be employed as natural antimicrobial preservatives instead of artificial preservatives in watermelon juice to increase its shelf life.

Abstract

Background: This study addresses the critical issue of malnutrition among under-five children in Moheshkhali, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Despite the alarming rates of stunting, wasting, and underweight in this region, there is a significant lack of localized data on socioeconomic factors, IYCF practices, and overall health status. Understanding these variables is essential for developing effective interventions. Methods: The research involved a cross-sectional study design, where anthropometric measurements were conducted to assess the nutritional status of children aged 6 to 59 months. Maternal education, age, and Body Mass Index (BMI) were also evaluated to explore their impacts on child nutrition. Data were analyzed using standard statistical methods to draw correlations and identify trends. Results: The findings revealed a high prevalence of malnutrition among under-five children, with notable gender disparities in stunting and underweight. The analysis indicated a strong relationship between maternal health indicators—particularly BMI—and child nutritional outcomes. Moreover, inadequate adherence to IYCF practices was observed, with many mothers failing to implement optimal breastfeeding and complementary feeding strategies. Conclusion: The study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions aimed at improving maternal education and IYCF practices in Moheshkhali. A multi-sectoral approach involving government and non-government organizations is essential to address the malnutrition crisis effectively. Investing in preventive measures and promoting healthy feeding practices are crucial for ensuring the well-being of both mothers and their children.
