Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the antibacterial activity of face mist containing ethanol extract of red betel leaf (Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav.) against Propionibacterium acnes, with the hypothesis that higher extract concentrations enhance antibacterial efficacy. Research Method: A quantitative experimental design was conducted using three formulations with extract concentrations of 15%, 25%, and 35%, alongside positive (clindamycin 300 mg) and negative (base face mist) controls. Samples were obtained from Kayen Village, Pati Regency, Indonesia. Physical evaluations included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, and spreadability tests, while antibacterial activity was assessed using the disc diffusion method. Data were analyzed with Shapiro–Wilk, Levene’s, One-Way ANOVA, and LSD Post Hoc tests. Results and Discussion: All formulations met physical quality standards. Antibacterial testing showed inhibition zones of 7.57 mm (moderate) for 15%, 10.67 mm (strong) for 25%, and 13.47 mm (strong) for 35%, with higher concentrations producing greater inhibition. Positive control exhibited a 37.60 mm (very strong) inhibition zone, while the negative control showed no activity. Implications: Red betel leaf extract demonstrates potential as a natural antibacterial ingredient in acne treatment formulations. The 35% concentration was optimal but still less effective than clindamycin. Future research should focus on optimizing formulation stability, enhancing sensory appeal, and exploring synergistic combinations to improve efficacy.

Abstract

Purpose: The postpartum period is a critical recovery period for mothers after childbirth and is prone to complications that contribute to high maternal mortality rates (MMR) in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate the effect of bengkung use on reducing abdominal circumference in postpartum mothers as a non-pharmacological measure to support physical recovery after childbirth. Research Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group approach. The research subjects consisted of two groups: the experimental group, which used bengkung regularly, and the control group, which underwent early mobilization without the use of bengkung. Data collection was conducted by measuring the waist circumference both before and after the intervention. Results and Discussion: The study's results indicate that regular use of bengkung has a significant impact on reducing abdominal circumference in postpartum women. The effectiveness of bengkung in accelerating the process of uterine involution and abdominal muscle recovery is reinforced by the involvement of education and the comfort experienced by the mothers during use. Implications: These findings have a practical impact on midwifery services, particularly in integrating traditional practices that have been proven effective into standard postpartum care. Bengkung could be a safe, affordable, and locally based alternative intervention.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to understand the process of behavioral transformation among pregnant women in utilizing first pregnancy check-up services (K1) in Kadolomoko Village, Baubau City, from traditional practices to medical services, considering the social, cultural, economic, and technological factors that influence it. Research Method: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques that included in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. Informants were selected purposively and consisted of pregnant women, posyandu cadres, puskesmas midwives, and community leaders. Data were analyzed using a thematic approach to identify patterns of behavioral change and the factors that drove them. Results and Discussion: The study's results indicate that behavioral transformation among pregnant women occurs gradually and is influenced by health education interventions, community health worker support, the use of digital technology, and the 1,000 Days of Life (HPK) program. Although most women began to utilize medical services at health facilities, traditional practices continued to be carried out as a complement due to strong cultural values. Implications: These findings emphasize the importance of an integrative approach that respects local cultural values to support sustainable health behavior change. The practical implication is that maternal health interventions need to be designed in an adaptive, participatory, and community-based manner to achieve long-term success.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate at concentrations of F1 0.2%, F2 0.4%, and F3 0.6% on the physical stability and cleaning power of micellar water preparations containing mangosteen peel extract. The best formulation was then tested for its antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Research Method: This study used a laboratory experimental method. The variations in PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate concentration used in the micellar water extract of mangosteen peel were F1 (0.2%), F2 (0.4%), F3 (0.6%), and negative control F0 (0%). Evaluations were conducted on physical stability tests (organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, and viscosity) and cleaning power. The best micellar water formulation was then tested for antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. The test results were analyzed using a One-Way ANOVA test. Results and Discussion: The results of testing F3 micellar water, with the highest concentration of PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, demonstrated that it was the best formula and exhibited the best cleaning ability. The results of the analysis using one-way ANOVA showed a p-value of < 0.05. The antioxidant activity of F3 was determined to have an IC50 of 103.81 μg/ml, which falls within the moderate category. Implications: The results of this study indicate that PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate at a concentration of 0.6% can be used as a surfactant in micellar water preparations of mangosteen peel extract. Further research is needed to determine the long-term stability of the preparation.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of green bean (Vigna radiata) juice administration on the nutritional status of malnourished toddlers in Mejobo Village, Kudus District. The hypothesis proposed that daily supplementation of green bean juice would significantly improve nutritional status as measured by Z-scores. Research Method: A pre-experimental design with a total sampling technique was applied to 32 toddlers aged 2–4 years with malnutrition (Z-score: -3 SD to < -2 SD). Respondents were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The intervention consisted of administering 250 ml of green bean juice daily for seven consecutive days. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements before and after the intervention and analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test. Results and Discussion: The mean Z-score improved from -2.431 pre-intervention to -1.77 post-intervention in the experimental group (p = 0.000), while no improvement occurred in the control group. Independent t-test results showed a significant post-test difference between groups (p = 0.000), confirming the positive effect of green bean juice on nutritional status. Implications: Green bean juice, as a locally sourced supplementary food, is effective for short-term nutritional improvement in malnourished toddlers and can be integrated into community-based nutrition programs. Further studies with longer durations and larger sample sizes are recommended.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of ginger extract consumption on reducing dysmenorrhea pain in adolescent girls. The research is based on the hypothesis that ginger extract, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, significantly decreases menstrual pain intensity and provides a safe non-pharmacological treatment alternative. Research Method: The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of 406 female students at SMP Negeri 2 Gebog, with a sample of 70 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through pain scale assessments before and after administration of ginger extract. Analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, as the data exhibited a non-normal distribution. Results and Discussion: Findings revealed a significant reduction in dysmenorrhea pain levels after consuming ginger extract, with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). Before the intervention, most respondents reported moderate to severe pain, whereas after the intervention, the majority experienced mild pain or no pain. This confirms the hypothesis and aligns with previous studies highlighting the effectiveness of ginger extract in reducing menstrual pain. Implications: The results suggest that ginger extract can be promoted as a low-cost, accessible, and safe alternative to manage dysmenorrhea among adolescents. Future research should consider larger samples, control groups, and long-term effects to strengthen generalizability.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between geriatric patient characteristics and adherence to antihypertensive therapy in the outpatient department of Sarkies ‘Aisyiyah Kudus Hospital, with the hypothesis that sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, education, occupation, socioeconomic status, duration of illness, and knowledge influence treatment adherence. Research Method: A quantitative analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted from May to June 2025. The sample consisted of 60 geriatric hypertensive patients selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the validated MARS-5 questionnaire and a knowledge-level questionnaire. Data analysis included validity and reliability tests, as well as univariate and bivariate analyses using the Chi-Square test with SPSS 27. Results and Discussion: The majority of respondents (96.7%) demonstrated high adherence to antihypertensive therapy. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between education level (p = 0.039), occupation (p < 0.001), and knowledge level (p = 0.012) with adherence. In contrast, no significant relationships were found with gender, age, duration of hypertension, or socioeconomic status. These results suggest that knowledge, education, and daily activities significantly influence adherence behavior, whereas demographic characteristics alone do not. Implications: The findings underscore the importance of health education, family support, and pharmacist counseling in promoting adherence among geriatric patients, particularly those with limited knowledge or educational backgrounds. Future studies should involve larger populations, employ longitudinal designs, and investigate the role of family support and healthcare communication in enhancing long-term adherence.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physical quality of cleansing balm containing 3% Centella asiatica (L.). Urb. Extract with castor oil (Ricinus communis L.) at varying concentrations (30%, 35%, and 40%) to determine the optimal formulation as an effective and safe makeup remover. Research Method: An experimental laboratory design was conducted at the Cendekia Utama Kudus Institute of Health Technology. The Centella asiatica extract was obtained from UPT Lab Herbal Materia Medica Batu, East Java. Physical quality tests included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, melting point, cleansing ability, and skin irritation tests. Data analysis was performed using SPSS, including tests for normality, homogeneity, One-Way ANOVA, and post hoc Tukey tests. Six female volunteers aged 18–30 participated in the irritation test. Results and Discussion: All formulations met physical quality standards. Formula 1 (3% Centella asiatica + 30% castor oil) demonstrated optimal results, exhibiting the best cleansing ability, easy rinsing, an ideal pH (5.61), good spreadability (4.91 cm), the highest adhesion (13.43 s), and no irritation in any of the volunteers and increasing the castor oil content above 35% reduced cleansing effectiveness, despite improving spreadability. No formulation caused erythema or edema during the 72-hour observation. Implications: The findings support the potential use of Centella asiatica and castor oil in natural, safe, and effective cleansing balm formulations. Future research should assess long-term stability, consumer acceptance, and potential scalability for commercial production.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify the relationship between the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) education and anxiety levels in pregnant women in their third trimester. The primary focus is on the effectiveness of SEFT intervention as a non-pharmacological approach in helping to manage anxiety, as well as providing a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of the respondents and changes in anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Research Method: This study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with a sample size of 30 pregnant women in their third trimester. The intervention took the form of structured SEFT education with materials, demonstrations, and guided independent practice by health workers. Data collection included measuring anxiety levels before and after the intervention using standard instruments, which were then analyzed to observe any changes that occurred. Results and Discussion: The results showed a significant decrease in anxiety after SEFT education. Before the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced mild anxiety, while after the intervention, the majority did not experience anxiety. Respondents in the “Good” SEFT education category were mainly in the “No Anxiety” category, supporting the view that targeted education can improve the mental preparedness of pregnant women before childbirth. Implications: This study emphasizes the importance of integrating SEFT education into antenatal care programs as a promotive and preventive strategy. Practically, SEFT can be an easily implemented intervention in primary healthcare facilities at a low cost, yet with a high impact. Recommendations for further research include the use of a control group design, a larger sample size, and a longer observation period to strengthen the validity of the findings.
