Abstract

Background: The maternal mortality rate in Indonesia is still considered high, at 305 per 100,000 live births. Hypertension in pregnancy is the second largest cause of maternal death in Indonesia. In 2018, two mothers died due to hypertension in pregnancy at the Simpang Periuk Health Center, Lubuklinggau City. One of the causes of hypertension in pregnancy that leads to death is the lack of information obtained by pregnant women. Health promotion through booklet media is a solution to increase the knowledge, attitudes and actions of pregnant women regarding the prevention of hypertension in pregnancy. BARA (Small Book of Prevention of Hypertension in Pregnancy) is a small book containing specific knowledge about successful strategies for preventing hypertension in pregnancy. Providing knowledge about the prevention of hypertension in pregnancy through booklets distributed to pregnant women has never been done at the Simpang Periuk Health Center. Purpose: To compare the average score, difference, and percentage change in knowledge, attitude, and action regarding hypertension prevention before and after receiving BARA in pregnant women. Method: Quantitative research using quasi-experimental design with control group. The sample used was 60 pregnant women obtained by Accidental Sampling formula. The study was conducted at Simpang Periuk Health Center, Lubuklinggau City. This location was chosen because based on initial data, the researcher concluded that many pregnant women at Simpang Periuk Health Center still have low levels of knowledge, attitudes, and actions regarding hypertension in pregnancy. Group 1 was given a printed BARA book, while Group 2 was included in the WhatsApp group where the electronic BARA book was distributed. Participants read the booklet and were encouraged to ask questions if they found something unclear. Results: Almost all participants were aged between 20-35 years (90%) with an average age and standard deviation of 27.21 and 4.498. The majority of participants had a high school education (48.3%) and most participants were housewives (52%). The average results of hypertension prevention actions in pregnancy in participants who used printed and electronic books increased significantly. Preventive actions in the group using printed booklets increased from 16.33 to 19.20, while in the e-booklet group increased from 16.07 to 19.13. The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p <0.05). This indicates a significant difference in actions before and after health promotion. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the level of knowledge, attitudes, and actions regarding hypertension in pregnancy before and after health education using both printed and electronic booklets. There was a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and actions to prevent hypertension in pregnancy (p<0.000) in both groups. The greatest increase occurred in the group given the e-booklet.

Abstract

Background: The elderly state will be faced by every human and will develop into a more diverse issue as life expectancy is expected to exceed 70 years. Consequently, the population of elderly individuals in Indonesia is likely to surpass that of young children. As people age, they become increasingly vulnerable to diseases, one of which is gout arthritis. Gout arthritis is a condition caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals in the body, resulting from hyperuricemia, which is characterized by elevated levels of uric acid due to disorders in purine metabolism. This condition is marked by joint pain, which disrupts the daily activities of those affected. Purines naturally exist in the body and are found in all foods, whether from animal sources like meat and organ meats or plant sources such as vegetables, fruits, and legumes. There are foods with both high and low purine content. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between knowledge level and efforts to prevent gout arthritis in the elderly. Method: A cross sectional approach (relationship and association), the population in this study is the elderly who have gout arthritis at the Grogol Health Center from January to February 2024 which is 150 people. The number of samples used was 60 people who came to the Grogol Health Center with Gout Arthritis and were given a questionnaire sheet. Results: In the study, it can be assumed that the behavior of the elderly in preventing Gout Arthritis is good if the elderly's knowledge about Gout Arthritis is good, because knowledge has a great influence on the behavior of the elderly about Gout Arthritis. With the results of the analysis using the Chi Square Test, a p-value of 0.012 (α<0.05) was obtained, which means that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge and efforts to prevent Gout Arthritis in the elderly. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the level of knowledge and efforts to prevent Gout Arthritis in the elderly. Good knowledge about Gout Arthritis is the main capital for preventing gout arthritis in the elderly. Suggestion: The nurses are expected to be able to provide socialization, counseling and health education related to Gout Arthritis to the elderly so that the elderly can understand how to prevent Gout Arthritis.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global and national health concern. In Papua, the TB treatment success rate has yet to reach national targets. One of the key barriers to achieving this goal is the stigma surrounding TB patients. Purpose: To identify the relationship between TB-related health literacy and nurse stigma at Abepura Regional Hospital. Method: A quantitative correlational study was carried out between April and June 2024, involving 125 purposively selected nurses from Abepura Regional Hospital. Data collection was conducted using a TB literacy questionnaire and a TB-Related Stigma questionnaire. The data were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Chi-square test. Results: Most respondents were female, non-Papuan, in early or late adulthood, held a bachelor's degree, and had 5-20 years of work experience. The majority were civil servants without prior TB-related training and were assigned to the Emergency and Pulmonary Rooms. While most respondents demonstrated good TB-related literacy, nearly 40% exhibited stigma toward TB patients. No significant correlation was found between TB health literacy and nurses' stigma. Conclusion: Despite possessing sufficient TB knowledge, nurses still exhibited a high level of stigma toward TB patients. Enhancing awareness and understanding among nurses and the community is essential through health promotion initiatives and strengthening the role of community and religious leaders.

Abstract

Background: Ovarian cancer is among the deadliest gynecological cancers, with nearly 70% of cases identified at an advanced stage. It is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women. While early detection significantly improves ovarian cancer outcomes, the disease often presents no symptoms in its early stages, resulting in delayed diagnosis and worsened prognosis. Achieving an accurate initial diagnosis in women with ovarian cancer is essential for ensuring early, correct treatment and reducing the risk of overtreatment. Clinically, various methods are available to assess ovarian malignancy risk, including the Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI). Purpose: To demonstrate the use of the RMI score to differentiate between benign and malignant ovarian tumors. Method: The case of Mrs. LKS, a 34-year-old woman who had experienced abdominal distension and related symptoms for one year, was analyzed in detail. The patient underwent multiple diagnostic evaluations, including a physical exam, ultrasound, abdominal CT scan, and histopathological analysis. The RMI, a well-established malignancy risk assessment tool, was employed. The initial evaluation of ovarian malignancy risk primarily considered ultrasound results, menopausal status, and serum CA-125 levels, with an RMI score above 200 indicating a high risk of ovarian cancer. Surgical procedures performed included a total hysterectomy, omentectomy, appendectomy, and ascitic fluid drainage. Results: The patient’s main issue was a gradually worsening abdominal distension over the past year, accompanied by lower abdominal pain, nausea, and significant weight loss. Physical examination and imaging revealed a heterogeneous cystic mass in the abdomen, suggesting a malignant ovarian cyst, along with the presence of ascites. The RMI score exceeded 200, indicating a high risk of ovarian malignancy. The patient underwent a laparotomy, which included a total hysterectomy, omentectomy, and appendectomy, leading to a postoperative diagnosis of stage III B ovarian cancer. Despite the intervention, the prognosis remained poor (dubia ad malam) due to the advanced stage at diagnosis. Conclusion: The RMI calculation serves as a valuable and reliable method for guiding diagnostic, management, and treatment decisions for patients with benign and malignant ovarian masses.

Abstract

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI), is currently very widely used in various lines of human life, including in the health sector. In radiology, the role of AI has begun to be involved in the interpretation of radiological imaging results with the aim of making radiological diagnosis more efficient. Purpose: To assess the performance of artificial intelligence in detecting human bone fractures on radiological imaging results. Method: A systematic literature review method using the PUBMED search application with a publication period of the last 5 years using search queries ("artificial intelligence" OR "machine learning" OR "deep learning") AND ("bone fracture detection" OR "fracture detection" OR "bone injury detection") AND ("X-ray" OR "radiograph") AND ("sensitivity" OR "diagnosis speed "OR" cost efficiency). Results: There are 27 articles showing that the use of AI in the field of radiology has been widely used in various countries, not only for X-ray radiology imaging, but also for CT Scan and MRI imaging applied to various fractures and its speed and effectiveness have also been compared for diagnosis using human radiology personnel. Conclusion: Artificial intelligence methods have a fairly good ability to identify human fractures in radiological images, which can help doctors avoid misdiagnosis and speed up the time to establish a diagnosis.

Abstract

Background: Self-medication is an act of self-medication without medical consultation, the practice of self-medication in the people of West Nusa Tenggara reaches 66.62% and the community in Bima City is indicated to be 60.44%. This practice risks causing serious side effects and drug resistance. Purpose: To explore why the practice of hard drug self-medication is high in the community of Bima City. Method: Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with an emphasis on exploratory research. Conducted in Bima City starting in August 2024, it involved a total sampling method, selecting 10 participants who served as key informants from the National Agency of Drug and Food Control. Data collection was carried out through triangulation, integrating multiple sources, methods, and theories to enhance result validity. In-depth interviews were used as the primary data collection technique, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis to extract key insights and interpret the underlying meaning of the findings. Results: Self-medication practices, such as buying antibiotics without a prescription, risk causing drug resistance and side effects. Monitoring drug distribution, especially online purchases, is a challenge for the Health Office and National Agency of Drug and Food Control. People choose practical and cost-effective ways, while pharmacists face pressure in selling drugs without a prescription. Collaboration and education are needed to ensure safe and rational drug use. Conclusion: The high cost of medicine and queues at health facilities encourage self-medication, exacerbated by poor Social Security Administration services. 24-hour pharmacies and online purchasing make it easier to access drugs without a prescription, with weak distribution oversight. Lack of accurate information and distrust of formal health services increase the risk of side effects and drug abuse.

Abstract

Background: An intervertebral disc's nucleus pulposus or annulus fibrosus may protrude in part or in its entirety in a condition known as herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP). This can put pressure on the spinal canal or nerve roots through the annulus fibrosus's tear. Over 90% of HNP instances take place in the disc between the L4-L5 lumbar vertebrae or the L5-S1 sacral vertebrae, which is the disc between the fourth and fifth lumbar (L4-L5) vertebrae, which means that pressure is exerted on the L4, L5 and S1 nerves, causing local low back pain and radicular pain in the lower limbs, especially in the back of the lower leg and in the back of the foot. Purpose: To determine the effect of core stability exercise on reducing pain and increasing functional ability in LBP EC HNP patients. Method: A quantitative research method in the form of Quasy Experimental with a Two Group Pretest-Posttest design, namely a control group and a group of 20 respondents who experienced LBP EC HNP. The research instrument uses the ODI questionnaire and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The data obtained were then analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann Whitney test. Results: There is a difference in the influence of ODI and Motion Pain between group 1 control and group 2 treatment (p <0.05). While in the pressure pain value (p > 0.05) then the decision was taken to fail to reject H0 which means there is no difference in the influence of pressure pain between group 1 control and group 2 treatment. Conclusion: There is an effect of Core Stability Exercise on reducing pain and increasing the ability of functional activities of daily living in patients with Lumbar Hernia Nucleus Pulposus.
