Abstract

Saliva is a complex liquid in the mouth that has an important role as self-cleansing. If the viscosity of saliva is getting lower, the possibility of caries will decrease. The use of mouth rinses is one way to maintain oral hygiene. One of the herbs that can be used as medicine is breadfruit leaf (Artocarpus Altilis). The objective of this study is to determine the effect of breadfruit leaf extract (Artocarpus Altilis) as a mouthwash on saliva viscosity in boarding students of the Dental Nursing Department. This type of research is a pre-experiment with the design of One Group Pretest Posttest which was conducted in October-November 2019. The population of this research study was the boarding students of the Dental Nursing Department of the Yogyakarta Health Polytechnic Ministry of Health with a sample size of 40 respondents taken by purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used Paired Sample T-Test and Simple Linear Regression. 62.5% of respondents aged 18 years with female sex were more than men that were 97.5%. The parametric test results using the Paired Sample T-Test showed a significant difference with a value of p=0.000. Simple Linear Regression analysis test results showed that there was a significant influence between the accumulation of salivary viscosity before and after gargling the breadfruit leaf extract (Artocarpus Altilis) concentration of 20%, with a decrease in the means before gargling the breadfruit leaf extract 3.5810 to 2.6025 with a significance value 0.004 (P<0.05). The conclusion of this study is that there is an influence of breadfruit leaf extract (Artocarpus Altilis) as a mouthwash on saliva viscosity in boarding students of the Dental Nursing Department. It is recommended for further research on the use of breadfruit leaf extract (Artocarpus Altilis) as a mouthwash with different concentrations and solvents so as to increase knowledge of the effectiveness of breadfruit leaves as a mouthwash ingredient.

Abstract

Caring behavior is the center of nursing practice, a very dynamic technique, where nurses work with care for their patients. The better the nurse's caring behavior in providing nursing services to patients, the better the level of patient satisfaction with nursing services. Currently, there are nurses and other health workers who are not friendly enough in providing services. The objective of this study is to determine the factors that influence the caring behavior of nurses who work at the Regional Public Hospital of East Nusa Tenggara Province, which are age, gender, education, training, employment status, marital status, work stress, work motivation and respect for nurse caring behavior. This research is a type of quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. The population is all nurse administrators who work in 5 Regional Public Hospital of East Nusa Tenggara Province, amounting to 803 people. The number of samples of 161 nurses was taken by simple random sampling. Determination of the number of samples using the rule of thumb formula, namely 5 independent variables x 32 = 160 respondents. The instrument used was a questionnaire. Bivariate data analysis at a significant level of 5% (α = 0.05) using the Pearson Chi-Square test. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression test. The results showed that the factors that influence nurse caring behavior are employment status (p value 0.001) and motivation (p value 0.005). The results of the Odds Ratio (Exp. B) show that employment status is a determinant factor in the caring behavior of nurses in East Nusa Tenggara with an OR of 3,634, which means that nurses with civil servant status are 3.6 times more likely to behave in caring than nurses with contract employment status. It is suggested to examine other factors that can influence the caring behavior of nurses who work at the Regional Public Hospital of East Nusa Tenggara Province.

Abstract

Sweet Potato Leaf (Ipomea Batatas (L) contains flavonoids and polyphenols which play a role in antioxidant activity. Sweet Potato leaf extract is formulated into syrup because it is faster to be absorption compared to solid preparations and more easily to swallow. Sweet potato extract is formulated with variations in the amount of propylene glycol which is 11% (F1), 12% (F2), 13% (F3) and 0% (control). The characteristics of syrup include organoleptic tests, viscosity tests and time of flow were determine and syrup antioxidant activity testing using method 2 , 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Test results showed that all formulas have the same organoleptic properties, which are brown, sweet and slightly bitter. Weak antioxidant activity showed by IC50 and AAI values. IC50 and AAI syrup were 134 ± 19.28, 128 ± 4.04, 115 ± 13.07, and 142 ± 1.5 mg / mL and the AAI values ​​were 0.074, 0.078, 0.087 and 0.070, respectively for F1, F2, F3 and control. Statistical analysis with the Kruskal-Wallis test (p> 0.05) showed no significant IC50 differences for the three formulas and control. The increase in propylene glycol affects the viscosity and ease of pouring but not the organoleptic properties while the antioxidant activity is not significantly different from the increase in propylene glycol. It is recommended to do a hedonic test for all three formulas in further research.

Abstract

Endophytic fungi live and associate in plant tissues and have a mutualistic relationship. Endophytic fungi produce various compounds such as steroids, terpenoids, phenolics, alkaloids which are the same as secondary metabolites from their host plants. The objective of this study is to isolate and identify endophytic fungi from mangrove fruit (Sonneratia alba) and to determine the antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi isolates against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The type of research is pre-experimental design, one shoot case study. The methods used are isolation, identification and agar diffusion. The pieces of mangrove fruit were disinfected and then cultured on SDA media to grow endophytic fungi isolates. The isolates were cultured repeatedly until pure isolates were obtained. The test of isolate activity against antibacterial was determined by the agar diffusion method with the test material of 2 isolates of endophytic fungi on Nutrient Agar (NA) media. The results showed that the mangrove fruit (Sonneratia alba) produced two isolates of endophytic fungi that could inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It was concluded that the mangrove fruit culture produced 2 isolates, which are isolate 1 Aspergillus niger and isolate 2 Aspergillus flavus. Isolate 1 and isolate 2 had the potential as antibacterial against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Isolate 2 was more effective than isolate 1 in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. It is recommended to test the pharmacological and microbiological activity of the findings of isolates 1 and 2 in vivo.

Abstract

Medication errors are accidental failures in a therapeutic process that lead to and have the potential to cause or harm the patient. Medication errors can endanger patient safety, inconvenience and economic burdens. Medication errors can occur at the prescribing, recording, issuing, and administering stages. Reducing the risk of medication errors is a shared responsibility among patients, healthcare professionals, regulators and the pharmaceutical industry at all levels of healthcare delivery. This research is a quantitative research with a descriptive approach. The population taken was 912 prescriptions written by general practitioners at the PKU Muhammadiyah Cepu Hospital in March-May 2019. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling, which was total sampling. The instrument used in this study was an observation sheet, then the collected data were processed by editing, coding, scoring, and tabulating stages which were then concluded descriptively. The results showed that the incidence of drug prescribing errors in inpatients at PKU Muhammadiyah Cepu Hospital in March 2019 found that all written prescriptions were 100% administratively incomplete. The incidence of prescription medication errors, especially the doctor's name, was 65.9%, the doctor's practice license number was 100%, the date of the prescription was 48.9%, the sign of R/70.9%, the doctor's initial 48.7% and the patient's address 97.4%. Incomplete administrative prescription writing can result in medication errors that are detrimental to health and add to the economic burden of patients.

Abstract

Unnecessary caesarean delivery continues to be an increasingly important problem in the world. Thanks to the information and training provided with the right resources, it is possible to reduce the caesarean rates and increase the normal birth rates with the right choices. This study aimed to learn the opinions of female employees in Eskişehir family health centers about normal and caesarean births, to determine important points and develop suggestions for these methods. The population of the study was 170 working women. Factor analysis, 16 items normal birth, and caesarean delivery scale were gathered under one factor, and this single factor explained 36.775% of the total variance. Results showed that when item-total correlation values of normal birth and caesarean section were examined, it was found that item-total correlation values of 16 items in the scale were between 0.407 and 0.759. When item scores were examined, it was determined that there was consistency between the items. This research has shown that the majority of female workers prefer to giving births by caesarean section, while there is no clinical indication and they are suggested to normal delivery. As a result of the established DFA model, the fit indexes of the model were found to be among the perfect fit values (x2/df=65.26/25≤3).

Abstract

The ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), as named by the World Health Organization, has millions of confirmed cases worldwide and has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. The virus was named SARS-CoV-2 in February by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. COVID-19 presents as fever, dry cough, dyspnea, headache, and pneumonia. In a small subset of severe cases, the disease quickly progresses to respiratory failure and even death. This study aimed to know the effects of clinical and laboratory features on investigated death. The diagnosis was based on typical findings in thoracic computed tomography (CT) and positive results of the Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) SARS-CoV-2. The demographic characteristics of COVID-19 patients treated, accompanying comorbid conditions and laboratory criteria (blood lymphocyte counts, C Reactive Protein (CRP), D-dimer, Interleukin 6 (IL-6), blood neutrophil count/lymphocyte counts) were collected retrospectively. The results show that 121 cases, 66 (54.54%) were male, 55 (45.46%) were female, and the mean age was ± Std (Min-Max), 59.63 ± 17.4 (22-91). Neutrophil percentage (p = 0.027), neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NE / LE) (p = 0.028), CRP (p = <0.001), PCT (p = 0.004), D dimer (p = 0.021) and IL 6 (p = 0.047) in patients with a fatal course, higher values were found than those recovered. Blood lymphocyte count (p = 0.001) and percent (p <0.001) were lower. Number of blood white spheres (p = 0.010), blood neutrophil counts (p = 0.001) and percentage (p <0.001), NE / LE (p0.001), CRP (p <0.001), PCT (p = 0.003) and IL -6 (p <0.001) levels were higher in patients with severe clinical findings than in mild cases. The case death rate was observed as 9%. Covid-19 patients should consider blood neutrophil percentage, blood lymphocyte count, blood lymphocyte percentage, NE / LE, CRP, D dimer, and IL 6 values as an early warning in terms of prognosis. More experience was needed to assess the benefits of immune plasma, tocilizumab, IVIG treatments, and remdesivir therapy recently introduced to the treatment protocol.

Abstract

Sweet and sticky foods are the main energy source for oral bacteria and are directly involved in lowering the pH. Gargling with boiled water after every meal can speed up the pH of the saliva in the mouth to return to normal. The objective of this study is to determine the difference in salivary pH between gargling and without gargling water after consuming sweet foods in elementary school students. The research method used was quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest with control group design. The instrument in this research was a pH meter. The population in this study were students in grades I – V of public elementary schools in Bantul with a total population of 135. The research sample used total sampling. Analysis of the research data was conducted using the Wilcoxon test, Mann Withney and Anova Test. The results showed that the pH of saliva (direct gargling) of water/0 minutes after consuming sweet and sticky foods was before 7.53 after gargling 7.99 increased by 0.46. The pH of gargling saliva 5 minutes before 7.48 after rinsing 7.63 increased 0.15. pH of saliva gargling 10 minutes, that was before 7.31 after gargling 7.3 decreased by 0.18. pH of saliva (without rinsing) water/0 minutes, which was initial pH 7.68 to 7.55 after consuming sweet and sticky foods, decreased 0 ,13. The pH of saliva without rinsing with water for 5 minutes, the initial pH was 7.70 to 7.06, decreased by 0.64. The most effective gargling time on salivary pH was gargling water immediately 0 minutes after consuming sweet and sticky foods. The time without gargling water affecting the pH of saliva after consuming sweet and sticky foods was 5 minutes.

Abstract

Basic immunization is the first providing immunization to acquire the immune level on the verge of protection given to baby before one year which was aimed to get a full set of basic immunization for each baby with a good indicator that is full immunization (IDL). The indicator was influenced by several independent variables such as mother’s job status, education, knowledge, attitude, perception, and support from cadre and family. From total 89 villages in Lamandau district since 2015 to 2018, there were 82 villages of Universal Child Immunization (UCI) (92.1%) increased by 22.78% than 2016 is 69.32%. However, there was Drop Out (DO) of 2.83% from the village thathad not reached a full set of basic immunization of infants in Kujan Village. The objective of this study is to determine the factors associated with providing a full set of basic immunization of infants in Kujan village, Bulik district, Lamandau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province. The research employed cross sectional design. Data was collected from 80 mothers who had children aged 12-24 months during February 2020. The study samples was conducted with total sampling (80 respondents). The results of study used chi square test with levels of trust that is 95%. It showed a significant relationship between education by providing a full set of basic immunization of infants with p-value = 0.000. Meanwhile, employment status, knowledge, attitudes, family support, perceptions, support from cadres were not related to complete immunization. Therefore, based on the results of this study, it is suggested to the Lamandau Regency Government in the long term to improve the education of healthy mothers and also massive education related to the importance of immunization to increase the complete basic immunization coverage in Kujan Village.
