Abstract

A healthy lifestyle is an important issue that needs to be instilled early in life, especially during adolescence. Adolescents living in hinterland areas often face greater challenges in accessing adequate health information and facilities. Therefore, efforts to promote healthy lifestyles among adolescents, especially in hinterland areas, are very important to prevent health problems and improve quality of life. One potentially effective approach to improve the motivation and healthy lifestyle behavior of adolescents in hinterland areas is the Peer Empowerment program. This program utilizes the strong influence of peers in motivating and encouraging positive behavior change among adolescents. This research will use the research and development (R&D) method with an experimental approach. The results of this study are useful for providing recommendations for effective health promotion methods for healthy lifestyle changes in adolescents.

Abstract

The angulation of third molars plays a crucial role in dental health and orthodontic outcomes. This review examines changes in third molar mesioangulation after orthodontic treatment, comparing cases involving first premolar extractions with non-extraction protocols. Research has shown that premolar extractions often result in significant improvements in third molar angulation, promoting easier eruption and reducing the likelihood of impactions. Conversely, non-extraction cases generally demonstrate less favorable changes, with a higher frequency of impactions and limited spontaneous correction of molar positioning. The extent and direction of these changes depend on individual factors such as the degree of crowding and the developmental stage of the third molars at the start of treatment. Premolar extraction during orthodontic procedures appears to enhance third molar angulation, potentially lowering the risk of impaction and reducing the need for surgical removal. However, some studies highlight the influence of individual anatomical variations, suggesting that premolar extraction does not consistently produce uniform angulation changes in all patients. Therefore, orthodontic treatment planning should weigh the potential advantages of premolar extractions in improving third molar alignment, especially for patients with a higher risk of molar impaction

Abstract

Chronic kidney failure in the end stage requires kidney replacement therapy in the form of haemodialysis. Haemodialysis is not to cure but as a replacement therapy for kidney function to clean the blood from various substances that cannot be excreted naturally by the kidneys which must be done for life. Chronic kidney failure patients undergoing haemodialysis can cause life changes that will affect the patient’s quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between the duration of haemodialysis therapy and age and the quality of life in chronic kidney failure patients at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital. This study employed a descriptive correlation study with a cross-sectional method. The study population was 165 patients with a sample of 115 respondents. The instrument to determine the quality of life was the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) Questionnaire and interviews were done to determine the age and duration of haemodialysis therapy. The results of statistical tests using the Kendall Tau test showed a p-value> 0.05, which is 0.059 for the test of the duration of haemodialysis therapy with quality of life. Thus, it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between the duration of haemodialysis therapy and quality of life in chronic kidney failure patients at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital. Statistical tests for age with quality of life using the Kendall Tau test showed a p-value> 0.05, which is 0.694. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between age and quality of life in chronic kidney failure patients at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital.

Abstract

Mothers who give birth tend to experience increased anxiety which can result in psychological disorders including anxiety, depression (Denis,2021). Postpartum psychological health disorders increase the risk of postpartum blues. The underlying factors are limited access to health services, lack of social support from various parties, and concerns about the health of herself and her baby that will be ignored by the mother. Social support helps postpartum mothers deal with stressors (Adli, 2022). This research method uses Quasi experimental with two groups pretest posttest research design. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The sample size consists of 30 participants divided into 2 groups with 15 respondents each. The intervention group received dhikr sholawat treatment while the control group only received slow deep breathing (SDB) treatment. The intervention lasted for 14 days. The measurement of depression levels carried out was a measurement using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) instrument form. The results of the study P value 0.023 (> 0.05) so it is concluded that there is a difference between the effectiveness of providing Dzishol intervention and SDB intervention. Based on the comparison of the median value after the intervention in the group, it is known that the median value in the Dzishol group (score 11) is smaller than the SDB group (score 9) so it can be concluded that providing Dzishol intervention on anxiety levels is more effective than SDB intervention.

Abstract

Labor pain during the first stage of active phase is visceral, arising from uterine contractions and cervical dilation, processed through sympathetic efferent nerve fibers. One therapy that can be used to reduce this pain is the administration of red ginger extract, which is known to have the highest oleoresin content compared to other types of ginger. This study aims to assess the factors influencing the knowledge of third-trimester pregnant women about the benefits of red ginger drink as a pain reliever during the first stage of active labor at the RSUD Daerah Perdagangan. The study used an analytic cross-sectional design involving 66 respondents who met specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that education, age, received information, and culture influenced pregnant women’s knowledge about the benefits of red ginger. Based on statistical tests, it was found that education, age, information, and culture have a significant impact on the level of knowledge among pregnant women. This study is expected to contribute to increasing pregnant women’s knowledge of alternative pain relief methods using red ginger and to enrich awareness of the importance of health information during pregnancy.

Abstract

The ultimate goal of predicting preeclampsia that can enhance early detection and risk stratification in pregnant women, by leveraging the diagnostic potential of ECG patterns, we hope to improve maternal and fetal outcomes and contribute to the development of personalized care strategies for preeclamptic patients. Current diagnostic methods for preeclampsia rely primarily on routine blood pressure monitoring and proteinuria assessment, which have limited sensitivity and specificity. The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive role of P wave duration, amplitudes and morphology in preeclamptic pregnant women during the third trimester. Fourty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. These subjects consisted of twenty (20) normotensive and twenty (20) preeclamptic pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy. After the subjects were identified and recruited into the study, they were taken to the laboratory where their vital signs was taken and their ECG patterns recorded with ECG machine. Data obtained from this study were analysed using Graph Pad Prism 9. Results generated were expressed as mean ± SEM and a P-value of ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results from this present study show statistically significant increases in P wave duration, amplitude and abnormal M pattern among preeclamptic compare to normotensive pregnant women, consistent with prior research, abnormal M pattern in P wave morphology is linked to atrial pathology in preeclampsia. The study underscores the multifactorial nature of cardiovascular changes in preeclampsia and highlights the potential of ECG parameters in aiding early detection, risk stratification, and management of the condition.

Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants are at high risk for complications and are one of the leading causes of infant mortality in Indonesia, including in Aceh Province, where infant mortality rates are significant. This study aims to analyze the impact of LBW infant care on child development in the working area of Langsa Timur Health Center, Langsa Timur District, Langsa City, Aceh Province, in 2023. The research used a qualitative approach, conducting interviews with mothers and infants with a history of LBW. Data analysis was performed descriptively using univariate analysis to identify the characteristics of mothers and infants, as well as child development. The results showed that the majority of mothers (80%) were under 35 years old, had secondary education (100%), and were housewives (100%). The majority of infants were female (60%), and most had appropriate development (60%). The majority of infants had a history of LBW (60%). The findings suggest that appropriate care for LBW infants plays a crucial role in supporting child development and is expected to contribute to efforts to reduce LBW rates and infant mortality in the region, as well as improving the quality of maternal and child healthcare services.

Abstract

Retirement is a phase which has to be faced by a worker in the completion of his work duties. The preparation of the process draws attention to the people who experience it or the stakeholders to provide policies on the retirement matters. This research aims to provide information about the factors which influence the welfare of life (wellbeing) in retirement. The current study used a literature review that involved nine journals that studied retirement. This research was conducted by searching for articles using an application called Publish Perish by using two keywords “Retreatment” and “Pension”. The crossref (cross reference) search found that there are 5 journals from the keyword “Pension” and 10 journals from the keyword “retreatment”. After the exclusion, nine journals were obtained according to the researcher’s desire. The result of this research shows the factors affecting the retirement’s wellbeing which are categorized by: psychology, economics, social, gender and health. Psychology deals with loneliness, anxiety, or negative psychological factors. Economics deals with income and financial support in retirement. Social problems are more related to relationships in the family and the people around them who support retirement. The health factor is always presented in every retirement situation because health becomes a big expense in retirement.

Abstract

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein normally produced during fetal development, but presence of tissue damage and inflammation, its levels increase and this may be linked to Carcinoembryonic antigen in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. This study aims to assess the level of Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in preeclamptic pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Forty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. After the subjects were identified and recruited into the study, they were taken to the laboratory where their vital signs was taken and 10 milliliters (10 ml) of venous blood was drawn from consenting participants and placed in a lithium heparin sample bottles analyzed for Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels by fluorescence immunoassay. Data obtained from this study were analysed using Graph Pad Prism 9. Results generated were expressed as mean ± SEM and a P-value of ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The present study showed that there was statistically significant increase in the level of Brain injury marker (CEA) was observed in preeclamptic women compared to normotensive pregnant women, indicating various underlying pathophysiological processes such as Brain injury in preeclampsia.
