Abstract

Emerging infectious diseases (EID) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide since it initially attacks a population or has existed before but is increasing very rapidly in terms of the number of new cases in a population. Early detection of EID patients refers to early screening. Screening of patients with suspected EID such as Covid-19 or other airborne infectious diseases must be performed at the first contact with suspected patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of EID screening instrument applied at the Emergency Room (ER). This was a quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample size consisted of 34 nurses at the ER of Mangusada Hospital, Bali, who were selected using a total sampling technique. The intervention administered in this study was the implementation of EID screening instrument before the patients entered triage for 1 month on June 2022 at the ER of Mangusada Hospital. After ensuring the distribution and homogeneity of the data, a paired t-test was employed for parametric statistical data analysis. The result of the study showed a p-value of (0.004) or p <α (0.05). So, it can be concluded that there was an effect of the screening instrument applied at the ER of Mangusada Hospital on the preparedness of nurses in dealing with EID. Thus, the screening for patients with EID should be implemented in each emergency unit. The study finding can help improve nurse preparedness regarding the prevention of EID. In addition, future study is recommended to assess the competence of nurses regarding the prevention of EID.

Abstract

The utilization of antenatal services for pregnant women can be determined based on the achievements of K1 (first contact) and K4 (4 times contact) during pregnancy with competent and authorized health workers. The World Health Organization asserts that the attitude and performance of health workers are an essential elements of service quality as it affects the understanding and satisfaction of women, partners, and families in seeking ANC, delivery, and postnatal services. The objective of this research is to examine the effect of antenatal care by midwives and the satisfaction of pregnant women on antenatal visits. The type of this research is analytic observational with a cross-sectional design, performed from March - June in Kupang City. The research subjects were 120 pregnant women with a gestational age of 36 weeks. Data collection employed questionnaires and MCH Handbook. The analysis conducted was univariate and bivariate by employing the Chi-square test with Alpha = 0.05. The results of the study on 120 pregnant women demonstrated that most of the pregnant women received good service (98.3%) and most of whom (60%) were satisfied with the services they experienced. Seventy-one people (59.2%) possessed complete visits. The Chi-square test results revealed relationship between service and satisfaction of pregnant women with antenatal visits (p = 0.652, p = 0.324). The majority of pregnant women had thorough consultations, received adequate antenatal care, and were pleased with the services they received. In addition to satisfaction, health services and programs must be performed in accordance with local culture and language in order to be accepted by the community, encompassing a decision-making culture that can influence pregnant women's visits to health facilities. Distance, education, profession, parity, and the husband's support can all have an impact on the mother's adherence to antenatal visits.

Abstract

Visfatin, a protein with a molecular weight of 52 kDa, has been demonstrated to increase in the bloodstream. Visfatin has been shown in several studies to be a potential marker of preeclampsia. The objective of this study was to describe visfatin levels in pregnant women in Gianyar, Bali. An observational design was employed in this study to describe visfatin levels in 41 pregnant women in Ubud, Gianyar regency, Bali. Visfatin levels were determined by examining EDTA blood samples using the Elisa method and reading them at 450 nm on a microplate reader. The average value of visfatin levels was 6.49 ng/ml, according to the results. The average visfatin level based on hypertension blood pressure respondents was 3.74 ng/ml. This result was lower than that of normal blood pressure respondents.  This study's decrease in visfatin levels may have a smaller effect on physiological insulin resistance. The average visfatin level in second trimester respondents was 7.9 ng/ml higher than 5.7 ng/ml in third trimester respondents. The increase in visfatin levels suggests that visfatin may play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Visfatin has the potential to be used as a biomarker to detect preeclampsia earlier, allowing pregnant women with preeclampsia to receive appropriate treatment.

Abstract

Hypertension is also understood as the "silent killer" as the symptoms of hypertension are frequently not experienced by the sufferer, hence, the majority of hypertension patients are unaware that they suffer from hypertension. Uncontrolled hypertension can harm multiple organs. Hypertension cannot be cured; however, it can be managed such that blood pressure stays within normal limits. Changes in lifestyle and pharmacological therapy are employed to control hypertension. The objective of this study is to investigate the association between hypertension patients' characteristics and amount of awareness about lifestyle in controlling hypertension. A descriptive analytic design with a cross sectional approach was administered in this investigation. This study included all hypertension patients who visited the Cibubur Village Health Center. Purposive sampling was utilized in this study, yielding 115 respondents. The analysis technique involved the Chi-Square test. Results: There was a relationship between age and lifestyle (p=0.044), the last education and lifestyle (p = 0.017), and the level of knowledge with lifestyle (p=0.000). Meanwhile, gender, occupation, and family history of hypertension did not possess a significant relationship with lifestyle in controlling hypertension. Future studies are suggested to examine the role of external environmental support in influencing lifestyle to control hypertension.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth infection remained a significant public health problem in many developing countries. Elementary school-age children dominated the cases in Indonesia due to poor personal hygiene. South Central Timor had the top three poverty and the highest stunting rates in East Nusa Tenggara. Research to examine the relationship between personal hygiene and the incidence of Soil-Transmitted Helminth infection had never been conducted in South Central Timor. The study population consisted of 279 elementary school students selected from Inpres Nulle Elementary School, Inpres Neonmat Elementary School, and GMIT Nulle Elementary School through the Multistage Random Sampling technique. It was obtained 160 children as the study samples. The study found that 46 children (29.0%) were positive for STH, and 114 (71.0%) were negative for STH. Furthermore, 30 (65.2%) were positive for hookworm, 14 (30.4%) were positive for Ascaris lumbricoides, and 2 (4.4%) children had mixed infections. Multiple Logistic Regression Tests showed a significant effect of washing hands with soap after defecating with p = 0.031 and OR = 7.158. Thus, if a child did not wash his hands with soap after defecating, he had a risk of STH infection by 7.158 times. Furthermore, the effect of eating habits obtained a p = 0.038 and an OR value = 0.133 with the possibility of eating habits that did not protect against STH infection. In addition, the effect of dirty nails obtained a p=0.064 and an OR=5.264, which indicated the risk of contracting STH by 5.264 times. The effect of snacking habit obtained a p = 0.005 and an OR=0.121. It can be concluded that the incidence of STH was simultaneously influenced by the habit of defecating on the ground, washing hands without soap after defecation, eating raw food, having dirty nails, and having poor snacking habits.

Abstract

The prevalence of DM disease in West Nusa Tenggara Province is not much different from that in Indonesia. DM cases in NTB are included in the ten most non-communicable illnesses suffered by the community and the incidence continues to increase from year to year. An increase in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the body is one of the causes of insulin resistance in cells which can further develop into type 2 diabetes. This study involved diabetic patients at the Mataram Community Health Center, who were assigned into 2 groups, namely the controlled diabetes group and the uncontrolled diabetes group and involved a standard group which was a group consisted of healthy people. Each group was examined for Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) and HbA1c levels. The results of the examination in the standard group, controlled diabetes group and uncontrolled diabetes group obtained the FBG levels of 89.22 mg/dl, 110.0 mg/dl, and 245.80 mg/dl, respectively. Furthermore, the results of the HbA1c test in the standard group, controlled diabetes group and uncontrolled diabetes group were 5.44%, 6.03%, and 10.49%, respectively. The results of the examination of IL-6 levels in the standard group, controlled diabetes group and uncontrolled diabetes were 329.36 pg/ml, 331.52 pg/ml, and 320.33 pg/ml, respectively. The results of the IL-10 test in the standard group, controlled diabetes group and uncontrolled diabetes were 71.80 pg/ml, 116.60 pg/ml, and 128.10 pg/ml, respectively. Based on the results of the study, there was no significant difference in the levels of interleukin 6 and interleukin 10 between respondents with diabetes mellitus and healthy respondents (p>0.05). It can be concluded that there were no differences in interleukin 6 and 10 levels between healthy people with patients with controlled and uncontrolled diabetes.

Abstract

Brushing teeth properly and correctly must be instilled in children from an early age so that they become accustomed to living a clean and healthy lifestyle. Dental health education can help people develop good brushing habits. Brushing your teeth in the morning and evening for 21 days is an interactive calendar designed to control the implementation of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening. The objective of this study was to assess PAUD (Pre-School) students' compliance with morning and night toothbrushing using an interactive calendar guide to brushing their teeth in the morning and evening for 21 days. The research method used is pre-experimental. Simple random sampling method was also administered. The research intervention was conducted on 32 PAUD Bahagia Sukapura and Al Abror students. A questionnaire and an interactive calendar sheet were used as research instruments. The results showed that before the intervention, the average score of PAUD children's compliance with brushing their teeth in the morning and evening was 46.9063, but after the intervention, it increased to 79.0313. Before the intervention, the level of adherence to brushing teeth in the morning and evening was in the less compliant category (40.6%), but after the intervention with an interactive calendar, it increased to (96.9%). The Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test analysis revealed a difference in pre- and post-intervention scores on children's compliance data in brushing their teeth using the morning and evening brushing calendar for 21 days, with a p-value (0.000) <0.05. Brushing their teeth twice a day in the morning and evening for 21 days is effective in increasing PAUD children's adherence to brushing their teeth twice a day in the morning and evening.

Abstract

The effort to achieve universal health coverage for all people under a single-payer national health insurance in Indonesia still experiences a substantial challenge particularly related to informal workers. This population faces a number of challenges, including income irregularity, a lack of educational variety, the fact that the majority of workers live in rural areas, and a lack of health insurance literacy. The objective of this study was to examine the factors that influence informal workers' willingness to pay for a national health insurance program in Indonesia. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Banyumas district of Central Java, Indonesia. Employing a multistage random sampling technique, 316 workers in the informal sector were recruited as study participants. Logistic regression was employed to investigate the factors that influence willingness to pay for national health insurance premiums. According to the study findings, urban, national health insurance information, and uneducated factors were related to informal workers' willingness to pay for national health insurance. Workers who lived in urban area (p < 0.05, OR = 3.922) were more willing to pay for insurance premium. Workers who received better exposure of national health insurance information (p < 0.05, OR = 2.330) were more willing to pay for premium. Furthermore, workers who uneducated (p < 0.05, OR = 14.847) were more willing to pay for premium. The national health insurance campaign serves as a catalyst for increasing public awareness of this program. Adequate and widespread national health insurance program information dissemination would aid in the effectiveness of Indonesia's efforts to achieve the goal of universal health insurance coverage.

Abstract

Elementary school children possess a high risk of dental caries. Based on the Basic Health Research 2018 data, the percentage of dental and oral health problems in the 10–14 year age group is 41.4%. Efforts to reduce dental and oral health problems in children are conducted by health promotion which can be implemented with flipchart media. Flipchart media can be an alternative; hence, elementary school children are able to better understand the importance of knowledge on maintaining oral health. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of promotion with flipcharts on the level of toothbrush knowledge of maintaining oral and dental health in children. This type of research was a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with control group. The research location is at SD Muhammadiyah Banyuraden, Gamping, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The research sample is 80 children aged 8 to 12 years. The sampling technique employed purposive sampling. The influence variable is promotion with flipchart, and the affected variable is the level of knowledge in maintaining oral health. The treatment and control groups performed pretest and posttest to determine the level of knowledge of dental and oral care in elementary school children. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test analysis demonstrated that before and after promotion, the two groups owned a significant difference in toothbrush knowledge level (p=0.00). The results of the Mann Whitney test analysis display that the mean rank of children's toothbrush knowledge level using flipchart media is greater than PowerPoint media, which is 58.03> 20.98 so that it can be stated that the use of flipchart media is more effective than PowerPoint media. The conclusion of the study is that promotion by employing flipchart media can increase the level of toothbrush knowledge on maintaining oral and dental health in children.

Abstract

Family planning program is an effort made by the Indonesian government to decrease the birth rate and control the population. The succuss of family planning program in decreasing the birth rate is influenced by several factors, including the incidence of dropout (DO) regarding the use of contraceptive methods. The high contraceptive acceptors DO rate indicates a problem regarding the use of contraceptive methods. DO cases in Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, increased from 1.1% in 2018 to 9.1% in 2021. Therefore, it is necessary to study the factors that cause the increase in the incidence of Contraceptive Acceptors DO. This study aims to determine the factors related to the incidence of Contraceptive Acceptors DO in East Penfui Village, the work area of Tarus Community Health Center, Kupang Regency. This was an analytical survey study with cross-sectional approach. The population involved was family planning acceptors in the village from March to October 2020, as many as 163 acceptors. The samples of 69 acceptors were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews and documentation. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test. The results revealed that there were three factors which influenced the incidence of contraceptive acceptors DO, namely maternal level of knowledge (p=0.006, husband support for his wife (p=0.003), and side effects regarding contraceptive methods (p=0.014). It can be concluded that a personal approach was needed. Counseling on the side effects of contraception and door to door education can be solutions to be performed by CHC officers as well as existing health cadres.
