Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate healthy school indicators based on Al-Islam Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK) in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. The research employs a mixed-method approach with Sequential Explanatory Research design. The qualitative phase involves in-depth interviews with Muhammadiyah scholars to explore AIK's perspective on health and identify initial healthy school indicators. The quantitative phase validates these indicators through a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire distributed to Muhammadiyah schools in Sidenreng Rappang. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to assess the validity and reliability of the indicators. The findings reveal four main pillars of health from the AIK perspective: physical, mental, spiritual, and environmental health. The developed indicators include balanced nutrition programs, regular physical activity, counseling, religious education, and environmental management. CFA results indicate that the indicators are valid and reliable, with Composite Reliability (CR) and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) meeting the required standards. The implementation of these indicators is expected to create a holistic health-supportive school environment, reinforcing students' physical, mental, spiritual, and environmental well-being. This study significantly contributes to the development of healthy school concepts in Indonesia, aligned with Islamic values, and provides a foundation for health policy and programs in Islamic-based schools to enhance overall student health and well-being.

Abstract

The evolution of wound dressings has shifted from simply covering wounds to maintaining a moist environment. Chitosan, derived from chitin, and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) are well-known for their roles in wound healing. Chitosan is used due to its natural polymer properties, and ZnO is used to promote cell growth. This study investigates the effectiveness of chitosan zinc oxide cream as a primary dressing to enhance wound healing in diabetic ulcers. This quantitative research method uses a clinical retrospective cohort design. The sample used 235 verified medical records from 2018 to 2023, namely medical records of patients with stage III-IV diabetic wounds who received a primary dressing of chitosan zinc cream every 2-3 days and there was also documentation of the results of the bates-Jensen wound assessment at the first visit and a minimum of four weeks of treatment. The analysis included univariate and bivariate analyses to correlate treatment with healing progress. The results showed significant improvement (p<0.001) in wound condition after treatment with chitosan zinc oxide cream, including a reduction in wound size and depth, faster removal of necrotic tissue, and increased granulation and formation of epithelial tissue. These findings highlight the efficacy of the cream in treating diabetic ulcers, although further research is needed for other types of cancerous wounds, pressure ulcers, and chronic wounds.

Abstract

Wound care in a moist environment is superior to a dry environment. Appropriate wound care methods can help accelerate the healing of gangrenous wounds. This study aimed to determine diabetic wound healing using the modern hydrocolloid dressing method. This experimental research design utilized pre-test and post-test techniques to assess the difference in the effect of gangrene wound care with modern hydrocolloid dressings on gangrene wound healing in diabetic patients. The study was conducted at USU Teaching Hospital Medan for 14 days, involving 20 respondents with Type II DM patients experiencing gangrene wounds, obtained through non-probability sampling. Data analysis was performed using the independent t-test. The results showed a significant difference in gangrene wound care with the modern hydrocolloid dressing method (p < 0.05). The modern hydrocolloid dressing method led to faster healing of gangrene wounds. Conclusion: respondents who used the modern hydrocolloid dressing method experienced better wound status development and faster healing. It is expected that hospitals will plan and establish SOPs for wound care in DM patients with gangrene using modern hydrocolloid dressings and reduce the use of conventional methods. These implications highlight the importance of implementing modern methods in wound care protocols for patients with diabetes mellitus with gangrene, mainly to prevent amputation and improve patients' quality of life. Recommendations include the implementation of modern wound care SOPs, training for health workers, patient and family education, further research, and the procurement of modern dressings.

Abstract

Breastfeeding is critical for the health of both mothers and infants, with global recommendations supporting exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. This study aimed to examine the knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and challenges faced by pregnant women in Surakarta.: Five women between 28 and 36 weeks of gestation were recruited using snowball sampling, and data were collected through in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis, conducted using NVivo 12. Revealed that while participants generally demonstrated a high level of preparedness for breastfeeding, challenges such as public discomfort, inconsistent readiness, and emotional uncertainties persisted. The support of their husbands was felt to be crucial by the participants in this study. However, as the study involved only five pregnant women, the findings should be interpreted with caution, and may not be generalizable to a wider population. Nonetheless, this study suggests that emphasis should be placed on addressing the individual needs of mothers and providing appropriate support interventions to help overcome emotional and logistical barriers, which could enhance effective breastfeeding practices in similar contexts.

Abstract

Stunting is a serious health problem in Indonesia, which can affect the growth and development of children. The Family Assistance Team (FATS) has an important role in stunting prevention through education and nutrition monitoring. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of FATS in preventing stunting, as well as identify the challenges faced in the implementation of their duties. The research method used is a descriptive design with a quantitative approach, involving 35 FATSs working in 13 stunting locus villages in Sigi Regency. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire that measured the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the FATS, and the data was statistically analyzed to get an overview of the characteristics of the respondents and the effectiveness of the FATS. The results show that FATS has a good understanding of stunting, but there is a need for improvement in terms of resource availability and training frequency. Most FATSs feel effective in their roles and are satisfied with the support provided by their respective organizations. Recommendations for continuous training and adequate logistical support were identified as key to improving the effectiveness of FATS in stunting prevention, providing important insights for the development of more effective stunting prevention programs at the village level.

Abstract

Accurate pre-pregnancy weight is crucial for optimal pregnancy outcomes. However, self-reported pre-pregnancy weight often differs from estimated values owing to various factors. This study aimed to compare pre-pregnancy weight with the self-reported method and estimated using the Thomas formula in pregnant women in Bogor, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 160 pregnant women in Bogor. Pre-pregnancy weight was assessed using both self-reported and the Thomas formula estimation. Differences between the two methods were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Our study revealed a significant median difference between self-reported and estimated pre-pregnancy weight, with 56.5 kg and 58.4 kg, respectively (pvalue<0.001). Women tended to underestimate their pre-pregnancy weight by -1.7 kg (SD=3.8). There was a difference in the proportion of body mass index (BMI) categories based on self-reported and estimated pre-pregnancy weights. However, the classification of BMI before pregnancy was generally consistent between the two methods. The Thomas formula proved to be more sensitive in predicting the incidence of overweight than underweight in Bogor City. A limitation of this study is that it did not directly validate the measured pre-pregnancy weight, which led to the result that self-reported pre-pregnancy weight may underestimate the actual weight. Although Thomas’s formula provides a precise estimate, it is important to consider the limitations of the self-report and estimation methods. Therefore, healthcare providers should be aware of these differences, use a combination of approaches to assess pre-pregnancy weight, and provide appropriate nutritional counseling
