Abstract

Non-communicable diseases cannot be transmitted to others, but their development occurs slowly over a long period of time. One of the non-communicable diseases that is a priority in global health today is hypertension. Hypertension often causes complications such as stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure. The aim is to describe the incidence of hypertension in Posbindu PTM Bumiroso participants. The quantitative descriptive method using the total sampling technique obtained 38 respondents. The data was analyzed descriptively to describe the results of the respondents' blood pressure examinations. The results of the study based on the classification of hypertension, participants who experienced pre-hypertension and hypertension level 1 were 12 (31.58%), hypertension level 2 was 9 (23.68%) and normal was 5 (12.16%). The conclusion is that more than half of Posbindu PTM participants experience hypertension, as a suggestion, they can carry out routine checks at the nearest health facility.

Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to assess the adjuvant role of dexamethasone in multimodal analgesia to control postoperative pain for various laparoscopic surgical procedures.  Methods: From January to April 2023, a study was conducted at Baghdad Teaching Hospital involving 80 patients prepared for various laparoscopic procedures, classified as ASA grades I and II. The participants were divided into groups (A and B) of 40 patients. There were no significant differences between the groups regarding gender distribution, age, BMI, ASA grade, anesthesia duration, and surgical procedure duration. Group A comprises patients administered dexamethasone 8 mg intravenously one hour before the induction of anesthesia, whereas Group B patients received a normal saline (placebo). The analgesic effect was assessed by measuring the VAS score for each group at 1, 3, 6, and 24 hours post-discharge from the recovery room. The study also evaluated the necessity for potent analgesics among the study population in each group. Results: The study findings indicate that dexamethasone significantly reduces postoperative pain, as evidenced by lower VAS scores in patients administering dexamethasone compared to those receiving a placebo, especially at 6 and 24 hours post-transfer from the recovery room. Additionally, patients administering a placebo exhibit a significant demand for potent analgesia in contrast to the group receiving dexamethasone. Conclusion: The study indicated that a single-dose injection of dexamethasone 8 mg administered preoperatively for various laparoscopic procedures significantly decreases postoperative pain. Effective pain management promotes early recovery and shortens hospital stays, reducing staff stress and providing financial benefits to the institution. We recommend using dexamethasone as a safe and effective medication for alleviating postoperative pain.

Abstract

Background: Bronchopneumonia is the leading cause of death in toddlers. The incidence of Bronchopneumonia in Indonesia is 31.4%, in Aceh it is 22.62%. The incidence of Bronchopneumonia in the pediatric ward of Dr. H. Yuliddin Away Tapaktuan Hospital ranks second after diarrhea cases. Toddler characteristic factors that influence the incidence of bronchopneumonia are: age, gender, birth weight, history of breastfeeding, nutritional status, and history of immunization. Research Objective: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between toddler characteristics (gender, birth weight, history of breastfeeding, nutritional status, history of immunization) and the incidence of bronchopneumonia in the pediatric ward of Dr. H. Yuliddin Away Tapaktuan Hospital. Research Method: This study used a descriptive analytical method. While to analyze bivariate data by testing the relationship between independent and dependent variables with the chi-square test. The respondents of the study were parents of toddlers whose children were treated in the pediatric ward of Dr. H. Yuliddin Away Tapaktuan Hospital as many as 50 respondents. Conclusion: Based on the chi-square test analysis, it shows that there is a relationship between several toddler characteristic variables and the incidence of bronchopneumonia at RSU DR. H. Yuliddin Away Tapaktuan, namely low birth weight p value 0.026, non-exclusive breastfeeding p value 0.029 and poor nutritional status p value 0.018. The results of the p value <0.05 so that there is a significant relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Suggestion: The results of this study can be input to the institution of DR. H. Yuliddin Away Tapaktuan General Hospital and become a guideline for improving health services for toddlers with bronchopneumonia.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease that continues to be a global health challenge, particularly in Indonesia. Children with stunting are at a higher risk of contracting TB due to their weakened immune system caused by malnutrition. This study aims to analyze the impact of education on TB prevention in stunted children in the working area of the Kosiwo Health Center, Kepulauan Yapen Regency. The research method used was a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving parents and caregivers of stunted children as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires administered before and after the educational intervention. A total of 45 participants were selected using a total sampling method. Data were collected before and after the intervention using a validated and reliable questionnaire on children's knowledge of tuberculosis (TB), with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.946 for the TB knowledge questionnaire. The results were analyzed using the Paired T-Test, which showed that the mean knowledge score concerning TB transmission in children was 14.89 before the intervention, increasing by 9.78 points to 24.67 afterward, with a p-value of 0.000, which is below α = 0.05.

Abstract

Kombucha tea is a drink produced through a fermentation process of a mixture of tea and sugar using kombucha culture or also called SCOOBY ( Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) . The basic ingredients for making kombucha tea are granulated sugar solution and tea bags, in this study it was varied using fruit skin. Vitamin C is known as an important antioxidant found in many fruits, including in rujak fruit skin which is often considered waste. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of vitamin C in kombucha tea fermented from fruit skin waste. This study used qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative method uses the Benedict test and the quantitative method uses the calculation of the percentage of vitamin C content using the iodimetric titration method. The results of the qualitative analysis of the Benedict test were positive for vitamin C with a change in the color of the sample solution to green-yellowish and the analysis of the percentage of vitamin C content obtained a result of 2.3124% or equal to 0.23124 mg / 10 mL of sample solution. The vitamin C content of kombucha tea can vary depending on the base ingredients used, fermentation time, and storage temperature.
