Abstract

Number of vegetarians in Indonesia is rising. This increase may be attributed to improvement of people knowledge regarding health benefits of high fiber plant-based diet especially to reducing the risks of degenerative diseases. However, high fiber plant-based food especially mushroom-based food that being accepted by majority of panelists are limited to oyster and straw mushroom. Hence, the goal of this research is to get the best formula based on organoleptic and crude fiber content from Auricularia polytricha and red dragon fruit peel extract as a food for vegetarian diet. This study used experimental study with Randomized Block Design (RBC) method with two experimental factors: the concentration and volume of red dragon fruit peel extract (25 ml and 50 ml) and the proportions of wheat flour and Auricularia polytricha (30:70, 50:50, 70:30). Organoleptic test results data were analyzed using the Krusskal Wallis test and the Man-Whitney U test to test it further. The results showed that there was a significant effect of the nugget ingredient formulation on color, taste, and texture of the nuggets (p<0,05), and there was no significant effect on the aroma of the nuggets (p>0,05). The highest crude fiber content was found in nuggets with a composition of 70% Auricularia polytricha and 30% wheat flour with the addition of 50 ml red dragon fruit peel extract, which was 36.88%, and anthocyanin content of 0,99 mg/100 g. The best formula for Auricularia polytricha nuggets with the addition of red dragon fruit peel extract is J3E2 with a composition of 70% Auricularia polytricha and 30% wheat flour and the addition of 50 ml of red dragon fruit skin extract.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (pulmonary TB) is an infectious disease that attacks the respiratory system, especially the lungs, and can cause various clinical symptoms, one of which is decreased oxygen saturation (SpO₂). Decreased oxygen saturation can worsen the patient's condition and affect their quality of life. Therefore, effective interventions are needed to increase oxygen levels in the body, especially through safe and easy-to-implement non-pharmacological approaches. One intervention commonly used in nursing practice is the semi-Fowler position, which is a lying position with the head of the bed elevated around 30–45 degrees, which is believed to improve lung expansion and increase ventilation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the semi-Fowler position on increasing oxygen saturation in pulmonary TB patients. The study was conducted using a descriptive method through a case study approach on three pulmonary TB patients treated in the Mawar Room of Subang District Hospital. Data were collected through direct observation of oxygen saturation using a pulse oximeter at minute 0 (before intervention), minute 10, minute 30, and more than minute 60 after the patient was placed in the semi-Fowler position. The results showed a significant increase in the SpO₂ values of the three patients after 30 minutes in the semi-Fowler position, with an average increase from 92–93% to 95–96%, and these values tended to be stable for more than 60 minutes after the intervention. These findings suggest that the semi-Fowler position can be an effective non-pharmacological nursing intervention option to increase oxygen saturation in pulmonary TB patients. The application of this position is recommended in daily nursing practice to help overcome respiratory disorders, increase comfort, and accelerate the recovery process of pulmonary TB patients.

Abstract

The need for continuous midwifery care (Continuity of Care) is crucial given the high maternal and infant mortality rates that still frequently occur. One common problem in neonates is flatulence, which can cause discomfort to the baby and anxiety to parents. One non-pharmacological treatment that has been proven effective for flatulence in infants is the "I Love You" (ILU) massage technique. This technique has been widely recognized for its simplicity and safety in providing comfort to infants experiencing flatulence. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the ILU massage technique on an 11-day-old infant experiencing flatulence symptoms. The research design used was a descriptive case study, in which Mrs. Q's baby, who complained of flatulence, was the subject of the study. The ILU massage technique consisted of movements that form the letters I, L, and U on the infant's abdominal area, which aims to stimulate gas movement in the digestive tract. In addition to the ILU massage technique, the intervention also included other supporting movements such as the moon-sun movement and flexing the infant's legs to increase the effectiveness of gas expulsion. The results of this intervention showed a positive response from the infant, with the infant beginning to pass gas after the massage. This suggests that therapy using the ILU massage technique can reduce the symptoms of bloating in infants. Furthermore, mothers were educated on proper breastfeeding positions to prevent air intake, which can exacerbate bloating. Mothers were also taught how to perform ILU massage independently at home, enabling parents to be more active in their infant's care.

Abstract

The common cold in infants is a frequent health problem that requires proper management to prevent potential complications such as pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, laryngitis, and febrile seizures. Management strategies for the common cold can be carried out through pharmacological approaches, such as the administration of syrups and powders, and non-pharmacological approaches, including traditional methods like common cold massage. This study aims to analyze the effect of providing education about common cold massage on mothers’ knowledge in managing the common cold in infants. The research employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study population consisted of 40 mothers who had infants aged 4–12 months registered at the Gunungpati Health Center. A total sample of 36 respondents was obtained through simple random sampling. The research instrument was a structured knowledge questionnaire specifically developed to assess understanding of common cold massage techniques and their role in managing symptoms. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to evaluate differences in knowledge levels before and after the educational intervention. The results showed a significant increase in mothers’ knowledge after receiving education, with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating that the intervention was statistically significant. These findings highlight the importance of non-pharmacological educational programs, particularly common cold massage, as a complementary approach to infant health care. Implementing such education can empower mothers with practical skills to manage early symptoms and potentially reduce complications. It is recommended that further studies be conducted in different settings with more varied sociodemographic backgrounds to ensure broader applicability and to explore the integration of traditional massage education into community health programs.

Abstract

The postpartum period, which begins with the delivery of the placenta and ends when the reproductive organs return to their pre-pregnancy state, lasts approximately 6-8 weeks. During this period, many mothers face challenges related to breast milk production, resulting in insufficient or absent milk flow. This condition, if untreated, can hinder the breastfeeding process and affect both maternal and infant health. To address these challenges, several interventions such as warm compresses and oxytocin massage have been explored. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of these two methods in improving breast milk flow among postpartum mothers. A quasi-experimental design was employed, utilizing a non-equivalent control group with pre-test and post-test measurements. The study targeted postpartum mothers who were experiencing difficulties with breast milk production. Purposive sampling was applied to select participants who met the inclusion criteria. The results showed significant differences between the effects of warm compresses and oxytocin massage on postpartum breast milk flow, with a p-value of 0.002 (<0.05), indicating that both methods positively influenced milk production. However, it was found that oxytocin massage had a more pronounced effect on milk flow compared to warm compresses. These findings suggest that oxytocin massage may be a more effective intervention for enhancing breast milk production in postpartum mothers, thus providing valuable information for healthcare professionals aiming to support new mothers in the breastfeeding process. The study also highlighted the importance of personalized care based on individual needs. Further research is recommended to investigate the long-term impact of these interventions and their broader application in various postpartum care settings. Additionally, exploring other complementary approaches could offer a more comprehensive strategy for managing breastfeeding difficulties in the postpartum period.

Abstract

Pain is one of the main problems often experienced by patients during treatment in hospitals, including in the Zam-Zam 1 Ward of Sultan Hadlirin Hospital, Jepara. High levels of pain can affect comfort, quality of rest, and slow the patient's healing process. Various non-pharmacological interventions have been developed to help reduce pain, one of which is music therapy, which works through distraction and relaxation mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing pain levels in patients in the Zam-Zam 1 Ward of Sultan Hadlirin Hospital, Jepara. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach without a control group. The study sample consisted of 47 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) to measure the patient's pain levels before and after the intervention. The music therapy process was carried out by playing relaxation music for a certain period according to the research procedure. Data analysis was carried out using a paired t-test to determine the difference in pain levels before and after music therapy. The results showed an average decrease in pain levels of 1.79 with a standard deviation of 1.05. The t-test results yielded a t-value of 9.017 with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between pain levels before and after the intervention. These findings demonstrate that music therapy is effective in reducing pain perception in hospitalized patients. In conclusion, music therapy can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological intervention that is easily implemented by healthcare professionals to improve patient comfort and quality of care in hospitals.

Abstract

Nosocomial infections are a major challenge in healthcare, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). Although the incidence in ICUs is not particularly high, they still occur. Adherence to hygiene protocols has been shown to reduce infection rates by up to 30%. Data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health (2020) indicates that nosocomial infections in hospitals account for 20–30% of all ICU patients. Objective: To determine the relationship between the implementation of nosocomial infection prevention protocols and infection rates in ICU patients at Sultan Hadlirin Islamic Hospital (RSI) in Jepara. Methods: This study was quantitative with a correlational cross-sectional design. The population included all 10 healthcare workers in the ICU and 23 admitted patients. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The research instruments were questionnaires and observation sheets, while data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Results: A total of 17 patients were treated with the prevention protocols in place, but one patient still experienced a nosocomial infection. The test results showed an asymptotic significance value (2-sided) of 0.59 > 0.05. Conclusion: There is no influence of the implementation of infection prevention protocols on the incidence of nosocomial infections (INOS) in the ICU at RSI Sultan Hadlirin Jepara.

Abstract

Aging is a dominant risk factor for most forms of cardiovascular disease. Sedentary lifestyle in elderly with obesity can decrease the function of cardiovascular system. Previous study determined that moderate intensity aerobic exercise was highly recommended in elderly because the type of exercise can improve body fitness and oxidative damage due to aging. The aims of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate intensity aerobic exercise on NOx plasma level, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in sedentary elderly women with overweight. The research method is quasi experimental with pre test and post test design. The sample included 33 volunteer sedentary elderly women overweight with age 65,11±4,85 years old that divided on two group that is the experimental group (EG/ n=17) and control group (CG/ n=16). EG performed moderate intensity aerobic exercise (walking) during 30 min per session, intensity 50–80% heart rate maximum,  three times per week for 12 week. The examination of NOx plasma level by ELISA method and resting blood pressure by auscultation method. Data was processed by unpaired t-test. Experimental group had significantly lower level of SBP (-10,294 p 0,001) than CG. NOx plasma level showed significantly decreases in both group (p < 0,05), but the decreasing trend was found to be higher in the CG. DBP and body mass index (BMI) did not change (p >0,05). Moderate intensity aerobic exercise can delay the reduction of NO due to aging proceses.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is a common gynecological problem among adolescent girls and often interferes with their daily activities, school performance, and overall quality of life. Conventional pharmacological treatments such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used but may cause side effects with long-term consumption. Therefore, safe and natural alternatives are needed to manage menstrual pain effectively. Carrot juice, which is rich in beta-carotene, vitamin E, and other antioxidants, has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that could potentially reduce the severity of dysmenorrhea. This study aimed to determine the effect of carrot juice on reducing menstrual pain in female students at SMAN 1 Trimurjo. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 27 students who experienced dysmenorrhea. Pain intensity was assessed before and after the intervention using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that before the intervention, the majority of respondents (85.2%) reported moderate pain, while after consuming carrot juice, 92.6% reported mild pain and 7.4% reported no pain. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in pain levels before and after the intervention (p = 0.000, p < 0.05). These findings indicate that carrot juice is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea intensity among adolescent girls. As a safe, affordable, and easy-to-implement non-pharmacological therapy, carrot juice has the potential to be recommended as a complementary approach to menstrual pain management, especially for adolescents who seek natural remedies. Further research with larger samples and control groups is recommended to strengthen the evidence and explore the long-term benefits of carrot juice in menstrual health.
