Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of the disease known as COVID-19. COVID-19 is spreading very fast around the world. One of the immune responses that play a role in against SARS-CoV-2 infection is the production of antibodies, which is 3 weeks after infection. Where within 3 weeks after infection, antibodies will be produced against RBD and the S1 and S2 domains in glycoprotein S and nucleocapsid protein N. The ability of an antibody to inhibit viral infection is determined by its level or titer. This study aims to determine the description of antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 after vaccination. This type of research is descriptive research. Measurement of antibody levels for SRBD SARS-CoV-2 was carried out using the CLIA method using the MAGLUMI tool. Of the 30 respondents, 23 people had received the third vaccine. The results of this study showed that the average level of SRBD antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in respondents with 2 doses of vaccine (1.063,786 BAU/mL) was higher than in respondents with 3 doses of vaccine (535.651 BAU/mL). Vaccine intervals of more than 6 months (908.338 BAU/mL) have higher antibody levels than respondents with vaccine intervals of 1-6 months (228.006 BAU/mL). The conclusion of this study is the highest antibody titers are produced >6 months after vaccination, antibody titers are still detectable after 12 months of vaccination, and for further research, it can be measured antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 from people who have got vaccination for a duration of 2 years or more.

Abstract

Tuberculosis, a lethal infectious illness, is known as the ninth leading cause of mortality worldwide. Self-stigma might emerge from the social stigma that Tuberculosis patients experience in their social environment. Stigma is triggered by five factors: self-isolation, supportive views, discrimination experiences, social withdrawal, and stigma resistance. The purpose of this study was to see how Tuberculosis stigma affected medication adherence at Bandar Lampung City Health Center. This study is a quantitative study employing a case-control technique. The simple random sampling technique was utilized with a total sampling of up to 54 respondents who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Data collection through the completion of the questionnaire. A bivariate chi-square test and a multivariate logical regression test were utilized to analyze the data. The findings indicated age, sex, marital status, education, occupation, self-isolation, views of support, experience of discrimination, social withdrawal, and rejection Stigma: p-value of self-isolation = 0.000, views of support = 0.000, experience of discrimination = 0.007, social withdrawal = 0.001, resistance to stigma = 0.000. The value of the logistic regression equation is Y = a + b1 X + b2 X + b3 X. This study concludes that stigma resistance is the most influential factor impacting medication adherence. This study suggests that tuberculosis sufferers do not withdraw, may contribute to society, socialize more, get along conveniently, and overcome stigma by thinking positively.

Abstract

Integrated Healthcare Center (integrated service post) is the government's effort to make it easier for the Indonesian people to obtain maternal and child health services. The main problem of this research is the low number of visits by toddlers to Integrated Healthcare Center service posts. This study analyses the relationship between attitudes about the Integrated Healthcare Center and intention to come to the Integrated Healthcare Center. The researcher wants to apply the theory of planned behaviour that intentions influence behaviour while attitudes towards an object, subjective norms and behavioural control influence intentions. Rangacanga correlation research, with a cross-sectional approach. The population of mothers under five is 135 people, and the sample size is 101 people. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. The data collection instrument was in the form of attitude and intention questionnaires. The independent variable is attitude, and the dependent variable is the intention to visit the Integrated Healthcare Center. In statistical analysis with the Pearson product-moment statistical test, the error rate is set at 0.05. The results showed that 51.28% of mothers under five had a positive attitude, and 51.28% had positive intentions. Statistical test results obtained p: 0.00 <α 0.05 concluded that there is a relationship with the correlation coefficient value of 0.670. This study concludes that the mother's positive attitude positively impacts Integrated Healthcare Center visits by mothers of toddlers. So, it is suggested that community leaders or health workers motivate and empower the community to participate in Integrated Healthcare Center activities.

Abstract

The media aims to store, reproduce, and identify bacteria but has disadvantages such as being expensive, containing chemicals, and being easily damaged due to contamination. Therefore we need an alternative media that can overcome these limitations. Cilembu sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas, L.) is a natural ingredient that is easy to obtain and contains sufficient nutrients so it has the potential to be used as a basic ingredient for growth media. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of Cilembu sweet potato flour as an alternative medium for the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria with a quasi-experimental design. Cilembu sweet potato flour is obtained by cleaning, chopping, drying in the oven, crushing with a blender, and sifting the tubers to obtain fairly fine flour. The flour was dissolved in agar and then inoculated with S. aureus and E. coli, each with 16 replications. The results showed that the average number of S. aureus colonies was 119.12 CFU (169.2 CFU in control) while E. coli was 160.56 CFU (221.2 CFU in control). The Mann-Whitney test showed that there was a difference in the number of S. aureus colonies on alternative media and NA (p = 0.006 ≤ 0.05), but there was no difference between the number of E. coli colonies on alternative media and NA (p = 0.057 > 0.05). Finally, there was a difference in the number of S. aureus and E. coli colonies on alternative media (p = 0.04 ≤ 0.05). The nutritional composition shows that Cilembu sweet potato flour has more potential to replace NA as a growth medium for E. coli than for S. aureus.

Abstract

Early Warning Score (EWS) systems can identify critical patients through the application of artificial intelligence (AI). Physiological parameters like blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate are encompassed in the EWS. One of AI's advantages is its capacity to recognize high-risk individuals who need emergency medical attention because they are at risk of organ failure, heart attack, or even death. The objective of this study is to review the body of research on the use of AI in EWS to accurately predict patients who will become critical. The analysis model of Arksey and O'Malley is employed in this study. Electronic databases such as ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, and SpringerLink were utilized in a methodical search. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA SR) guidelines were utilized in the creation and selection of the literature. This analysis included a total of 14 articles. This article summarizes the findings on several aspects: the usefulness of AI algorithms in EWS for critical patients, types of AI algorithm models, and the accuracy of AI in predicting the quality of life of patients in EWS. The results of this review show that the integration of AI into EWS can increase accuracy in predicting patients in critical condition, including cardiac arrest, sepsis, and ARDS events that cause inhalation until the patient dies. The AI models that are often used are machine learning and deep learning models because they are considered to perform better and achieve high accuracy. The importance of further research is to identify the application of AI with EWS in critical care patients by adding laboratory result parameters and pain scales to increase prediction accuracy to obtain optimal results.

Abstract

In terms of their impact on the workforce, mental disorders in the workplace are a major concern. Poor mental health and stress can have a negative impact on worker performance and productivity, job attachment, collegial communication, physical performance, and daily functioning. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between mental health and job performance in medical and non-medical workers at general region hospital X. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted on 222 respondents, two of whom were medical and two of whom were non-medical workers, using a DASS-21 questionnaire and a job performance questionnaire. The findings show a relationship between age and job performance among medical and non-medical employees at General Region Hospital X. There is no significant relationship between mental health and job performance among medical workers. Gender, age, employment status, and work period all had a significant relationship with non-medical workers' job performance. Anxiety, gender, and age all have a significant relationship in non-medical workers. The conclusions is 44.1% reported poor job performance, 14.5% reported depression, 30.7% reported anxiety, and 11.3% reported stress. In both medical and non-medical workers, there was a significant interaction between anxiety and gender on job performance. Anxiety, gender, and age all had an impact on non-medical workers' job performance. It is critical to develop new health policies to prevent and treat mental health issues while also improving job performance. intervene and assist workers suffering from mental illnesses. Training and management on mental health, a conducive workplace, and social support can enhance productivity and decrease mental problems.

Abstract

The management of chronic hepatitis B involves various therapeutic approaches, including nucleotide analogs (NUCs) and pegylated-interferon alpha (peg-IFN), either in isolation or in combination. Reverse transcriptase enzyme is competitively inhibited by NUCs, which effectively suppresses HBV replication and lowers viral load. Concerning their cost-effectiveness, high response rates, low side effects, and oral administration, NUCs are recommended. Prolonged use, particularly of NUCs with a low genetic barrier or as monotherapy, can, however, lead to resistance, long-term safety issues, and the need for ongoing treatment. Physicians and other healthcare professionals are extremely concerned about the emergence of resistance and possible safety concerns related to the long-term use of NUCs. Moreover, the requirement for continuous therapy presents notable obstacles concerning patient adherence, distribution of healthcare resources, and overall economic viability. To clarify these problems and direct the creation of more potent and long-lasting treatment plans for chronic hepatitis B, urgent research is required. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) detection is frequently accomplished via the use of the Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA), which is a crucial early serologic marker for screening and diagnosis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) molecular testing is employed to confirm the presence of HBsAg. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was the technique we utilized to verify the outcomes. Twenty-eight of the HBsAg-positive patients at W.Z. Johannes Kupang Hospital had positive PCR results, highlighting the significance of molecular confirmation. The results of this study emphasize the value of precise HBsAg testing and the supplementary function of molecular confirmation in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B. Furthermore, it clarifies the current therapeutic approaches applied to this patient population, highlighting the necessity of customized therapeutic approaches based on each patient's unique profile and potential complications.

Abstract

Research shows that nurses are one of the most vulnerable categories of professionals to develop stress and other problems due to the nature of their job. Thus the objective of this study is to describe the perceived stress experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic among Malaysian nurses. A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online form involving 319 randomly selected nurses from a teaching hospital on the east coast of Pahang, Malaysia, between January to December 2022. The perceived stress was measured using the Malay version 10-item Perceived Stress Scale, PSS-10 questionnaire. Descriptive and linear regression analysis was applied to measure the mean score of perceived stress and the association between perceived stress scores and other factors in this population. The study found that the total mean score of PSS-10 among the respondents was 19.1 ± 5.8. The three items with the highest mean scores were under the subscales “lack of self-efficiency” of the questionnaire (item-4, item-7, and item 5), while the item with the lowest mean scores belonged to subscales “perceived helplessness” (item-10). However, further analysis performed shows no significant association between perceived stress towards COVID-19 with sociodemographic and work-related factors among respondents. This study concluded that lack of self-efficiency was perceived as the main stress experienced by Malaysian nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, it is pivotal that the nurse’s manager and higher authority of the organization focus on improving the efficiency of these nurses through targeted programs focusing on problem-solving, emotional and on-the -job management plan, along with accessibility to resources, a positive work environment and support.

Abstract

Students' environmental knowledge is strongly related to environmental attitudes and behavior changes, which impact environmental sustainability. Game media is one of the student environmental learning methods. The study aims to evaluate two types of games (Ladder climbing and Trash trees) to increase elementary school students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in waste sorting. The study used a non-equivalent control group design involving 156 elementary school students in grades 4 and 5. All participants were grouped into ladder climbing games/LCG (n=156) and trash trees/TTG (n=156), then an assessment of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) before and after the trial. All data were analyzed with statistical software (Alpha=0.05), with the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. The N-Gain scores test is also applied to get the effectiveness value. The study found that most participants were aged 10 and 11 years (88.8%), and there were more female students (55.2%) than males. LCG intervention improves KAP (135.45%, 47.71%, and 92.59%) more than TTG (54.39%, 21.95%, and 54.51%). Significantly, there were differences in KAP values before and after the intervention and between the two types of intervention (p-value <0.05). Study has also found that the LCG method is more effective than the TTG (N-Gain score > 70%). The study has proven that the game method (LCG and TTG) can improve students' KAP in waste sorting. However, the LCG method is more effective than the TTG. The game method is a wise choice to apply to elementary school education so that it is expected to shape environmental behavior.

Abstract

For a long time, banana flowers have been believed to increase breast milk production. Thus, many people consume them as vegetables for breastfeeding mothers. This research examines the impact of oxytocin massage and banana flower consumption on prolactin levels in breastfeeding mothers. The method used a true experiment control group design in which samples were divided into three groups: Group 1 was treated with oxytocin massage, group 2 was treated with banana flower consumption, and Group 3 was given intervention with oxytocin massage and banana flower consumption. The massage was conducted every day for 5-10 minutes. The banana flower vegetable was served as much as 150 grams daily. The first blood sampling was done pre-intervention on the third day of postpartum. The second blood sampling was done after intervention on the tenth postpartum day following the intervention. The checkup of prolactin level was through Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA). This research utilized a T-test exam to analyze the data. The average difference in prolactin levels in pre-and-post intervention in group 1 was -61,75 ng/mL. Although decreasing prolactin levels occurred, there was no significant interval between pretest and post-test. The difference in prolactin levels in pre-and-post intervention in group 2 was 103,61 ng/mL. The prolactin level increased but not significantly. In group 3, the difference levels were about 110,22 ng/mL. In this group, a significant prolactin level increase had occurred. The conclusion is that the combination of banana flower and oxytocin massage evolved the prolactin level in nursing mothers. Research related to enforcing the recommendation of breastfeeding mothers to consume traditional galactagogues.
