Abstract

Diuretics are drugs used to increase urinary excretion; however, long-term use of synthetic diuretics may cause adverse effects. Therefore, alternatives derived from natural sources are needed, one of which is sambau grass (Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.), which has potential diuretic activity. This study aimed to determine the secondary metabolite content and the effectiveness of sambau grass ethanol extract as a diuretic in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The study employed a laboratory experimental method using a Posttest Only Control Group Design. The experimental animals were divided into five groups: a negative control group (0.5% CMC-Na), a positive control group (furosemide), and three groups receiving sambau grass ethanol extract at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg body weight. The observed parameter was cumulative urine volume over 24 hours, which was analyzed using One-Way ANOVA followed by the Tukey HSD test. The results showed that sambau grass ethanol extract contained alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids/triterpenoids, and glycosides. The mean cumulative urine volumes at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg body weight were 8.14 ± 2.77 mL, 7.80 ± 2.25 mL, and 9.56 ± 2.47 mL, respectively. All three doses demonstrated relatively similar diuretic activity. Thus, sambau grass ethanol extract exhibits diuretic activity in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus).

Abstract

Background: Hypertension remains a major public health challenge, with approximately 90% of cases lacking a clearly identified cause. Psychological factors, particularly stress, are believed to trigger elevated blood pressure through sympathetic nervous system activation. The Health Belief Model (HBM) offers a framework to explain how individual perceptions of risk and benefit influence preventive health behavior. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stress level and the incidence of hypertension based on the Health Belief Model approach, encompassing Perceived Susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving 84 hypertensive patients at Klinik Dandy Dinda, Tembung, selected through Slovin’s formula from a population of 107 patients. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and HBM-based questionnaires, then analyzed using univariate and bivariate (chi-square) statistical tests with a 95% confidence level. Results: Most respondents experienced a moderate stress level (57.1%) and stage 1 hypertension (45.2%). Chi-square analysis revealed significant associations between hypertension and stress level (p=0.010), Perceived Susceptibility (p=0.047), and perceived severity (p=0.046), whereas perceived barriers (p=0.149) and self-efficacy (p=0.108) showed no significant association. Conclusion: Stress level, Perceived Susceptibility, and perceived severity were significantly associated with hypertension incidence, while perceived barriers and self-efficacy were not. These findings highlight the importance of stress management and health perception strengthening in hypertension prevention programs.

Abstract

Lips are part of the face that have thinner skin compared to other parts of the body, making them more susceptible to dryness and loss of moisture. Dry lips can cause discomfort, so a preparation that can help maintain lip moisture is needed. One cosmetic preparation that can be used is lip balm. Carrot (Daucus carota L.) and orange sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) are natural ingredients that have the potential to be utilized as moisturizers. This study aimed to determine whether a combination of ethanol extracts of carrot and orange sweet potato could be formulated into a lip balm preparation and to determine the concentration that provides the best moisturizing effect. The study was conducted experimentally using the maceration method with 80% ethanol. The extracts were formulated at concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6%, along with a blank formulation. The evaluation included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, stability, irritation, spreadability, adhesion, and moisture tests. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids, glycosides, and saponins. In particular, flavonoids act as antioxidants that help protect the lips from free radicals. The results showed that the preparation was semi-solid, homogeneous, stable for 8 weeks, and did not cause irritation. The moisture test showed that the 6% formulation provided the best result, increasing moisture from 30% to 48% after three days of use. Based on these results, the combination of ethanol extracts of carrot and orange sweet potato can be formulated into lip balm as a moisturizer, with the 6% formulation providing the best moisturizing effect. The preparation had a spreadability of 6.5–7.0 cm and an adhesion time of 4.0–4.8 seconds, meeting the established requirements.

Abstract

Frequent physical interaction in schools, when not accompanied by adequate personal hygiene, may increase the risk of dermatological infections, including scabies, among students. This activity aimed to improve the understanding and preventive attitudes of students at SMPN 2 Montasik regarding scabies transmission through education on Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS). A total of 60 seventh- and eighth-grade students participated in this educational activity. The methods included interactive discussions, visual media, direct demonstrations of handwashing techniques, and knowledge evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The results showed an increase in the mean score from 58.40 on the pre-test to 81.20 on the post-test. Inferential statistical testing produced a significance value demonstrating that the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores was statistically significant. PHBS education combined with direct practice was effective in improving students’ knowledge of scabies prevention. The activity also encouraged preventive attitudes and better personal hygiene practices within the school environment. Therefore, practice-based health education can serve as a promotive and preventive strategy to reduce scabies transmission and strengthen students’ awareness of maintaining personal hygiene in everyday life.

Abstract

Burns are a major global health problem and a cause of long-term morbidity, particularly through hypertrophic scarring and contractures, in which prolonged inflammation drives dysregulated healing and excessive fibrosis. Pirfenidone is an antifibrotic agent with anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic, and antioxidant properties that may modulate wound healing. This review examined the mechanisms of action, therapeutic effects, and future potential of pirfenidone in burn wound healing. A literature search of PubMed and Google Scholar used the keywords "pirfenidone," "burn wound," "wound repair," and "scarring"; eight full-text primary studies - clinical trials and in vivo and in vitro experiments evaluating the effect of pirfenidone on wound healing, inflammation, angiogenesis, or fibrosis-were analyzed descriptively. Pirfenidone reduced pro-inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-13, G-CSF, and MIP-1α), suppressed VEGF signaling, and modulated TGF-β and collagen deposition, reflecting anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic, and antifibrotic activity. In a proof-of-concept trial in second-degree burn patients, it significantly improved re-epithelialization on day 7 (p = 0.029). Pirfenidone therefore shows promise as an adjuvant therapy for burn wound healing, although clinical evidence remains limited and larger studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

Abstract

Background: Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is recommended as an important component of care for preterm and low-birth-weight (LBW) infants. Successful implementation requires parental involvement, adequate knowledge, and maternal psychological readiness. A video-based parent-training approach may provide consistent information while preparing mothers to participate in KMC. Objective: To analyze changes in maternal knowledge of KMC and anxiety before and after a video-based KMC parent-training program among mothers of LBW infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used. Thirty-five mothers of LBW infants were recruited using total sampling. KMC knowledge was assessed using a modified 19-item questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha=0.752), while anxiety was measured using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7; alpha=0.742 in this study). Pre-post categorical changes were analyzed using the Marginal Homogeneity test; numerical scores are presented descriptively as mean±SD. Results: The proportion of mothers with good knowledge increased from 25.7% to 80.0% after the intervention (p=0.001). The proportion with minimal/mild anxiety increased from 34.3% to 74.3%, reflecting a reduction in moderate/severe anxiety (p=0.003). Mean knowledge scores increased from 63.4±9.1 to 84.7±8.3, while mean GAD-7 scores decreased from 11.8±3.4 to 7.2±3.1. Conclusion: Video-based KMC parent training was associated with increased maternal knowledge and reduced anxiety after the intervention. Because the study did not include a control group, the findings represent preliminary pre-post evidence and should not be interpreted as definitive causal evidence.

Abstract

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) accounts for approximately 14.38% of national mortality in Indonesia and was recorded as the most prevalent case at RSUD Welas Asih in 2024, with 17,856 patient visits. Prevention of CHD depends not only on clinical management but also on the involvement of family members as the primary support system of the patient. CERDIK education, developed by the Indonesian Ministry of Health, provides a structured approach to modifiable risk-factor control through six pillars: regular health check-ups, avoiding cigarette smoke, regular physical activity, healthy and balanced diet, adequate rest, and stress management. This study aimed to analyze the effect of CERDIK education on the knowledge of families of CHD patients regarding CHD prevention at the Cardiology Polyclinic of RSUD Welas Asih. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one group pre-test–post-test approach. The population consisted of 372 family members of CHD patients over a one-week period, and 39 respondents were selected using accidental sampling. Knowledge was measured using a validated 16-item questionnaire (r > 0.339; p < 0.05) with high reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.872). Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately; because the data were not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used with α = 0.05. Before the intervention, most respondents were in the sufficient category (69.2%), while the good category was 20.5% and the poor category 10.3%. After the intervention, the good category increased to 87.2%, the sufficient category dropped to 12.8%, and no respondents remained in the poor category. The mean knowledge score increased from 11.08 ± 2.07 to 15.33 ± 1.08, with a mean difference of 4.25 and a gain score of 0.47 (moderate category). The Wilcoxon test yielded p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that CERDIK education significantly improves the knowledge of families of CHD patients regarding CHD prevention and is feasible to be implemented as a routine promotive and preventive program at the Cardiology Polyclinic of RSUD Welas Asih.

Abstract

Hospital management performance measurement that focuses only on financial indicators is considered inadequate to describe the overall condition of a hospital as a complex health service organization. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach integrates financial and non-financial measures through four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth. This study aims to analyze the management performance of Immanuel Hospital Bandung comprehensively using the Balanced Scorecard approach. The study used a descriptive research design conducted from April 2022 to March 2023, with 2022 as the data reporting period. The samples comprised 100 outpatients and inpatients selected for the customer perspective and 92 employees for the internal business process and learning and growth perspectives, determined using the Slovin formula with a 10% error tolerance and convenience sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, documentation of hospital financial and medical records, and interviews, and then analyzed descriptively based on the four BSC perspectives. The results showed that the financial perspective was in a good category (ROI 22.7–23.6%; current ratio 4.14–8.91; efficiency ratio 84.6–87.0%; effectiveness ratio 97.7–98.2%; CRR 1.15–1.18). The customer perspective was categorized as satisfied on all five service quality dimensions, with customer retention of 266.6% and customer acquisition of 27.3%. The internal business process perspective was in a fairly good category, while operational indicators (AVLOS 4.91 days; BOR 54.70%; TOI 3.18 days; BTO 50.77 times) were not yet fully ideal. The learning and growth perspective was in a fairly good category, with a capability score of 1,854 (satisfied) and a motivation score of 2,670 (fairly satisfied), while employee retention was 2%. It is concluded that the overall management performance of Immanuel Hospital Bandung based on the Balanced Scorecard is good for the financial and customer perspectives and fairly good for the internal business process and learning and growth perspectives.
