Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is pain that occurs before, after, or during menstruation. The occurrence of dysmenorrhea in adolescents, especially college students, often hinders the activities that these students must perform and can lead to diseases of the reproductive system. However, dysmenorrhea is often considered a common disease, and its effects are not well understood. This study aims to analyze the effect of education using flashcards related to high calcium and magnesium diets, as well as exercise, on the severity of dysmenorrhea and knowledge levels among health and non-health students at Airlangga University. The method used in this study is experimental with a Quasi-Experimental design and a pretest-posttest control group design among health and non-health students at Airlangga University. The instruments used in this study include questionnaires, flashcards, and a recipe book. The results of this study indicate significant changes in knowledge before and after education, and significant differences in knowledge between the treatment group and the control group. The conclusion of this study is that education using flash cards can be used to improve knowledge and behavior in both groups, both health and non-health students. Therefore, it is recommended that universities conduct regular education programs related to diseases that are still underestimated by the general public

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontitis treatment depends on the severity of the disease, pocket depth, and bone damage. It consists of (1) emergency phase, (2) non-surgical phase, (3) surgical phase, and (4) maintenance or restorative phase. Each phase plays a crucial role in ensuring healing and controlling periodontitis. The non-surgical phase involves scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar, while the surgical phase addresses bone damage and pocket reduction. The maintenance phase is critical to preventing disease recurrence. Objective: The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the success of curettage in a patient with chronic localized periodontitis stage II grade A and stage I hypertension, within a two-week post-treatment period. Case: A 52-year-old female patient presented at RSGM Soelastri with complaints of bleeding gums during tooth brushing. The patient reported gum bleeding around the lower front teeth for the past six months, without any pain. She was regularly taking antihypertensive medication (amlodipine). Examination revealed deep periodontal pockets in teeth 41 and 42, accompanied by gum swelling, indicating chronic localized periodontitis stage II grade A. The patient also had a history of stage I hypertension, which required careful management during treatment. Conclusion: The treatment for chronic localized periodontitis stage II grade A on teeth 41 and 42 with stage I hypertension was curettage. After two weeks of treatment, the patient showed significant improvement, including reduced bleeding and a decrease in pocket depth, with stable hypertension control. Curettage proved effective in managing the condition, with careful consideration of the patient's hypertension risk factors.

Abstract

Dyslipidemia is a health problem characterized by impaired fat metabolism in the body, characterized by changes in blood lipid levels, either increasing or decreasing. This condition is generally seen through increased levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, and decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This imbalance in the lipid profile, if persisted over the long term, has the potential to accelerate the formation of atherosclerotic plaque on artery walls, which can lead to cardiovascular disease. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of papaya leaf (Carica papaya L.) ethanol extract microcapsules in reducing cholesterol levels in white rats induced by a high-fat diet. The high-fat diet is formulated from a mixture of beef fat, eggs, and lard to increase cholesterol levels in a controlled manner. After the induction phase, the rats were divided into six treatment groups: a negative control group, a positive control group (simvastatin 0.36 mg), and three treatment groups with doses of papaya leaf ethanol extract microcapsules of 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75%. The treatment was given orally for 14 consecutive days. Total cholesterol levels were measured before and after treatment to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed that administration of papaya leaf extract microcapsules significantly reduced cholesterol levels. The 0.50% dose provided the most optimal effect, with a reduction reaching 77 mg/dL, greater than the simvastatin group. However, increasing the dose to 0.75% did not show a significant additional reduction effect, indicating an optimal dose-response point. Therefore, the 0.50% concentration can be considered the most effective dose and has the potential to be developed as an alternative natural cholesterol-lowering therapy. These findings also strengthen the potential use of papaya leaves as a bioactive source to support efforts to prevent and control dyslipidemia.

Abstract

Dyslipidemia is a lipid metabolism disorder characterized by an increase or decrease in blood plasma fat levels. This condition includes high levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides, as well as decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). In general, dyslipidemia is divided into two types: primary, which is influenced by genetic factors, and secondary, which is caused by other diseases or an unhealthy lifestyle. Dyslipidemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, making its prevention and treatment very important. In this study, male white mice were used and induced with a high-fat diet to trigger dyslipidemia. The test animals were then divided into six groups: a negative control, a positive control (given simvastatin at a dose of 0.36 mL/day), and three treatment groups with microcapsules of Chinese betel leaf herb ethanol extract (EEHSC) at concentrations of 0.25%, 0.5%, and 0.75%. The treatment was administered orally for 14 days. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after treatment using a digital cholesterol tester and laboratory analysis to ensure more accurate results. The results showed a decrease in cholesterol levels with varying percentages in each group. The negative control decreased by 24.8%, the positive control by 36.1%, the 0.25% EEHSC by 24.1%, the 0.5% EEHSC by 34.7%, and the 0.75% EEHSC by 45.5%. This indicates that the 0.5% EEHSC treatment produced cholesterol reductions almost comparable to simvastatin. Interestingly, the highest effect was observed in the 0.75% group, indicating a dose-dependent response. In contrast, the 0.25% concentration only produced a less than optimal effect. Thus, microcapsules of ethanol extract of the Chinese betel leaf herb have potential as an alternative agent for lowering cholesterol levels, particularly in dyslipidemia. These findings suggest that natural-based therapies could complement conventional treatments in managing lipid disorders.

Abstract

Anemia is a public health problem widely experienced by adolescents, particularly in developing countries, including Indonesia. Low levels of knowledge about anemia contribute to its high prevalence. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of educational videos in improving knowledge about anemia among adolescents at SMP Plus At-Thoiba Pekanbaru. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of all eighth-grade students at SMP Plus At-Thoiba Pekanbaru, totaling 17 respondents, selected through total sampling. The instrument used was an anemia knowledge questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test due to non-normally distributed data. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 9.59 before the intervention to 12.41 after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. A total of 94.1% of respondents experienced an increase in knowledge after watching the educational video. The study concludes that educational videos are effective in increasing adolescents’ knowledge about anemia. This medium can serve as an appropriate alternative in school health promotion programs to prevent anemia among adolescents.

Abstract

Between June and early August, six accidents occurred on the Semarang-Solo toll road compared to other toll roads, one of which involved 15 vehicles. To reduce accidents, information on the causes of accidents and the risk factors involved needs to be studied. This research method uses descriptive observational. Data were collected through observations twice during the day and once at night. The results of the study found a relationship between environmental factors, driver factors, and vehicle factors that contribute to the risk of accidents. Suggestions: Efforts are needed to minimize contributing risk factors in order to reduce the risk of accidents. The method used in this study is descriptive observational, with data collected through direct observation at two times during the day and once at night. This approach allows for observation of road conditions and driver behavior at various times, both during the day and night, which often have different levels of accident risk. These observations not only look at the physical condition of the road, but also pay attention to the factors of the drivers and vehicles involved. The results show a significant relationship between environmental factors, driver factors, and vehicle factors that can increase the risk of accidents. Several environmental factors, such as weather conditions, street lighting, and inadequate toll road design, have been found to influence accident rates. Furthermore, driver factors such as fatigue, excessive speed, and negligence also contribute significantly to accidents. Equally important, poorly maintained vehicles or vehicles that do not meet safety standards also play a role in causing accidents. It is recommended that efforts to minimize these risk factors be coordinated between authorities and the public. Improving the quality of toll road infrastructure, providing adequate lighting, and monitoring driver behavior are essential.

Abstract

Background: Half of the 75 million children in Indonesia suffer from dental caries, and the number continues to rise each year. Caries is a disease that involves the enamel, dentin, and pulp of the tooth. If left untreated, it can reach the pulp and cause tooth necrosis. Pulpectomy is a dental procedure that involves removing the entire pulp tissue of deciduous teeth to access the infected root canal. This procedure is crucial to prevent the spread of infection. Post-pulpectomy restoration is essential to ensure the optimal function of the tooth and prevent further damage to the remaining tooth structure. The restoration must have adequate retention, minimal leakage, and not increase the risk of further damage to the remaining tooth structure. Methodology: This study is a qualitative research in the form of a literature review using secondary data collected in August 2024 from five main databases: PubMed, MDPI, ScienceDirect, Garuda (Garba Rujukan Digital), and Taylor & Francis. The collected data were then sorted to identify articles relevant to the research criteria. Results and Discussion: Based on the Prisma Diagram Flow, 343 articles were identified from the five databases, which were then filtered down to five articles that met the criteria to be the primary articles in this literature review. The results show that there are various types of post-pulpectomy restorations tailored to the diagnosis and clinical indications of the treated teeth. Conclusion: There are two commonly used types of post-pulpectomy restorations, namely restorations made of Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) and Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC). Both of these restorations can be modified into space maintainers, which are essential in preserving space for the future growth of permanent teeth while improving the function of the treated tooth.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is left untreated can lead to serious complications, one of which is hypertension in hemodialysis patients. Intradialytic hypertension can impair quality of life and increase mortality risk. Benson relaxation therapy, which combines breathing techniques with the repetition of positive words, has the potential to lower blood pressure. The purpose of this research is to measured blood pressure during and subsequent to Benson relaxation therapy in hemodialysis patients. This quantitative research employed a pre-experimental methodological approach with a case study approach. The subjects consisted of 3 respondents selected from a population of 24 hemodialysis patients at a hospital. Blood pressure data were collected using a digital sphygmomanometer and analyzed descriptively. After three sessions of Benson relaxation therapy lasting approximately 10 minutes each, systolic blood pressure decreased with the maximum reduction of 18 mmHg and the lowest reduction of 2 mmHg, while diastolic blood pressure decreased with the maximum reduction of 20 mmHg and the lowest reduction of 1 mmHg. Benson relaxation therapy can reduce blood pressure in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Benson relaxation therapy may be considered as a non-pharmacological intervention to help lower blood pressure in hemodialysis patients. After three sessions of Benson relaxation therapy lasting approximately 10 minutes each, systolic blood pressure decreased with the maximum reduction of 18 mmHg and the lowest reduction of 2 mmHg, while diastolic blood pressure decreased with the maximum reduction of 20 mmHg and the lowest reduction of 1 mmHg. These results indicate that Benson relaxation therapy can significantly reduce blood pressure in hemodialysis patients. The therapy’s effectiveness in reducing blood pressure may be attributed to the deep breathing exercises and the relaxation response it induces, which helps to reduce the overall stress on the cardiovascular system.

Abstract

Hypertension is a condition characterized by an increase in blood pressure, defined as systolic values ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic values ≥ 90 mmHg, and it remains one of the most common health problems experienced by the elderly. Non-pharmacological approaches such as low-impact aerobic exercise are recommended, as this type of exercise is performed at a low to moderate intensity for 20–50 minutes, three times a week. It has been shown to strengthen and maintain the functions of the heart, lungs, blood circulation, muscles, and joints, thereby contributing positively to the management of high blood pressure. This study aims to determine the effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on blood pressure among elderly patients with hypertension through the application of evidence-based practice. A quantitative case study approach was employed to gain a deeper understanding of changes in blood pressure following the intervention. Three elderly respondents diagnosed with hypertension were involved and instructed to perform low-impact aerobic exercise for three consecutive days. The results showed a decrease in blood pressure among all respondents, although the outcomes varied. The first respondent experienced changes from 140/80 mmHg to 130/70 mmHg and 130/90 mmHg, the second respondent from 150/90 mmHg to 160/80 mmHg and then 150/70 mmHg, and the third respondent from 150/80 mmHg to 110/70 mmHg and 130/70 mmHg. These findings indicate that low-impact aerobic exercise has a positive effect in reducing blood pressure, despite some variability between individuals. In conclusion, low-impact aerobic exercise is proven to help control blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This study highlights the importance of encouraging hypertensive individuals to adopt regular and independent low-impact aerobic exercise as a simple strategy to maintain stable blood pressure and improve overall quality of life.
