Abstract

Background: Stroke is a major cause of disability that affects patients’ ability to perform activities of daily living and reduces their level of independence. Adequate knowledge regarding activities of daily living is essential in supporting the rehabilitation process and improving post-stroke independence. This study examined the association between knowledge of activities of daily living and functional independence among post-stroke outpatients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a purposive sampling technique. A total of 103 post-stroke patients attending follow-up visits at the Neurology Outpatient Clinic were recruited. Data were collected using an Activities of Daily Living Knowledge Questionnaire and the Barthel Index to assess patients’ level of independence. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Among 103 post-stroke patients, most respondents had moderate ADL knowledge and varying levels of functional dependence. ADL knowledge was significantly associated with independence level in the bivariate analysis (p = 0.006). However, after adjustment for demographic and clinical factors, age emerged as the strongest independent predictor of ADL impairment. Patients aged 65 years and older had substantially higher odds of dependence than younger patients, while ADL knowledge did not remain statistically significant in the final model. Conclusion: ADL knowledge was significantly associated with functional independence among post-stroke patients in bivariate analysis; however, age was the strongest independent predictor of ADL impairment after adjustment. These findings suggest that ADL education may support rehabilitation, but it should be integrated with targeted physical rehabilitation and caregiver involvement, particularly for older patients at higher risk of dependence.

Abstract

Background: Biology students involved in laboratory work often face minimal physical activity, resulting in reduced skeletal muscle movement that can threaten their health and productivity. This study examines the effect of laboratory-based physical activity on the body composition and nutritional adequacy of undergraduate biology students. Methods: This quantitative study utilised a descriptive approach with simple random sampling. Cross-sectional data were collected from 139 biology students, comprising 35 males and 104 females, aged 18 to 23 years. Physical measurements were taken using a stadiometer, body scale, and body composition analyser, followed by descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Research findings indicate that light physical activity in the laboratory was observed in 60% of males and 71.1% of females. The average body height for males was 168.7 cm with a standard deviation of 6.2, and body weight was 67.6 kg with a standard deviation of 15.2. In comparison, the average body height for females was 155.2 cm, with a standard deviation of 5.1, and body weight was 53.4 kg, with a standard deviation of 11.6, all within the Indonesian norms. Nutritional adequacy composition was 49% for males and 63% for females in the normal fat category, while nutritional status adequacy was 46% for males and 58% for females in the normal category. Research contributes to universities' focus on promoting students' health and fitness through physical activity, maintaining an ideal body weight, controlling fat intake, and ensuring adequate nutrition. Conclusion: Undergraduate biology at Universitas Padjadjaran has body measurements aligned with Indonesian standards, with female students exhibiting better physical conditions. Implications of balancing physical activity and nutrition to maintain healthy body composition, supporting academic performance

Abstract

Background: Undernutrition remains a major public health problem among children under five years of age. Inadequate intake of protein and micronutrients contributes to poor nutritional status and growth restriction. This study aimed to analyze the effect of laor stick supplementation on serum calcium levels and short-term growth outcomes among undernourished children aged 12–59 months in Ambon City. Methods: This single-blind, randomized trial was conducted over 60 days in Ambon City. Eligible children were assigned to groups using computer-generated random numbers with allocation concealed in opaque envelopes. Outcome assessors and laboratory analysts were blinded to the assignment.  A total of 56 undernourished children completed the final analysis, consisting of 30 children in the intervention group and 26 children in the control group following 4 dropouts in the control arm. The intervention group (n = 30) received 40 g/day of laor sticks, while the control group (n = 26) received 40 g/day of tuna fish sticks serving as an active nutritional comparator.  Data collection included anthropometric measurements, three-day 24-hour dietary recalls, and serum calcium examination using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests, followed by multivariate regression analysis. Results: The intervention group showed significantly greater increases in energy, protein, and calcium intake compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Serum calcium levels increased significantly more in the intervention group compared to the control group, with a between-group mean difference of 0.24 mg/dL(95% CI: 0.17, 0.31mg/dL; p < 0.001). Significant advantages were also observed for the intervention group in body weight gain (between-group mean difference: 0.31 kg, (95% CI: 0.20, 0.42 kg; p < 0.001) and height gain (between-group mean difference: 0.42 cm (95% CI: 0.31, 0.53 cm; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Laor stick supplementation was associated with greater short-term improvements in nutrient intake, serum calcium, body weight, and height gain compared with tuna fish sticks. Longer and larger trials using standardized growth indicators are required.
