Abstract

Excessive physical exercise can increase the occurrence of oxidative stress, which is characterized by cell damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants found in Dayak Onion such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and vitamin C can be used as alternative ingredients to neutralize free radicals. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dose and duration of administration of Dayak onion extract on malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in a rat model of the forced gum test, extraction of Dayak onions using 96% ethanol. The type if research is Randomized Pre and Post Test Control Group Design. Male Sprague Dawley rats aged 2 months (weighing 150-200g) were divided into 5 groups: K- (control group, rats not given Dayak Onion extract but underwent forced swimming test), K+ (rats given xanthine and forced swimming test), P1 (rats given Dayak Onion extract at a dose of 50 mg/200 rats body weight/day), P2 (rats given Dayak Onion extract at a dose of 100 mg/200 rats body weight/day), P3 (rats given Dayak Onion extract at a dose of 200 mg/200 rats body weight/day). Dayak Onion extract was administered for 21 days with for 21 days with forced swimming test treatment, and changes in MDA levels were observed. The results showed that the administration of Dayak onion extract at a dose of 50 mg/200 rats/day, 100 mg/200 rats/day, and 200 mg/200 rats/day had an effect on preventing the increase in MDA, but at a dose of 200 mg/200 rats mice/day is the optimal dose. The conclusion is administration of Dayak Onion (Eleutherine palmifolia (L.) Merr) significantly decreased MDA levels in male Sprague Dawley rats with forced swimming test model.

Abstract

Lead (Pb) exposure poses significant health risks due to its non-degradable nature and profound toxicity, causes oxidative stress and organ damage, particularly targeting the kidneys. Urea nitrogen levels rise as a result of decreased renal filtration rate and urea excretion. This study investigates the potential of papaya juice, rich in flavonoids, vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene, as a protective agent against Pb-induced nephrotoxicity. A Completely Randomized Design experiment was conducted, involving six treatment groups of Wistar rats. Papaya juice was administered at doses of 3.6, 7.2, and 14.4 g/200g body weight (BW) to Groups P1, P2, and P3, respectively, prior to exposure to 50 mg/kg BW of lead acetate. Group PC received vitamin E (400 IU/kg BW) and lead acetate, while Group NC was exposed to lead acetate alone. Group NT served as the control. Following a 28-day treatment period, the P3 group exhibited the most significant improvements, with a notable increase in body weight (22.50 grams) and a substantial decrease in urea nitrogen levels (18.24 mg/dl). These findings underscore the efficacy of papaya juice treatment in mitigating Pb-induced nephrotoxicity, suggesting a potential therapeutic regimen for alleviating lead toxicity in exposed populations. Eventually, the optimal dosing for papaya juice treatment, either at 14.4 g per 200 g body weight for rats or consumption of one medium-sized papaya for humans, yields compelling benefits. This regimen demonstrates significant efficacy in increasing body weight and lowering serum urea levels in rats subjected to Pb acetate exposure.

Abstract

The percentage of under-five malnutrition problems in Indonesia was 17.8%, with 3.8% and 14% of under-five cases being malnutrition. The Magetan Health Service reports that as of 2021, there were 332 cases of undernourished toddlers; however, the Panekan Health Center reported 116 cases of undernourished toddlers in 2020 based on weight/body length data. The undernourished toddlers was defined as those who were between the ages of 24 and 59 months. This kind of study employs secondary data sources, an analytical approach, a quasi-experimental design, and a non-equivalent control group design. This study included 73 toddlers as subjects: 31 toddlers who did not receive any nutrition, 42 toddlers who did receive nutrition, and malnourished toddlers aged 24-59 months. Data collection uses data collection sheets. The Independent and Paired t-tests are the analysis methods employed. The average difference in body weight between the two groups was found to be 0.594 with a range of 0.0324 kilograms – 1.156 kilograms. The study's results were obtained using the Paired t-test with a p-value = 0.000 with a significance level of 0.05 and the independent t-test with a p-value = 0.038 with a significance level of 0.05. The study concludes that supplementary feeding has an impact on the weight of undernourished toddlers at the Panekan Health Center who are between the ages of 24 and 59 months. It is hoped that by continuing to supplement food, the recovery program may decrease the number of undernourished children under five.

Abstract

The father is the closest person after the baby's mother, who plays a role in exclusive breastfeeding. The interventions of dads attempt to improve breastfeeding knowledge, positive attitudes, and fathers' engagement in providing practical, physical, and emotional support to mothers, which can improve breastfeeding behaviors. The purpose of this study is to map current information about the role of fathers in exclusive breastfeeding in developing countries by including relevant sources of evidence from each article that has been found. The research method uses a Scoping review with the Arkey and O'Malley approach. It consists of 5 steps, namely: (1) identifying each scoping review question, (2) identifying relevant articles, (3) selecting articles, (4) charting data (5) compiling, summarizing and reporting results. Article search uses three databases, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Wiley, published between 2018-2022. Keywords used in the search process are (Father Role* OR Partner Role*) AND (Exclusive Breastfeeding* OR Lactation* OR Breast Milk*).  There are 14 articles found, including several developing countries from various continents, nine articles from Thailand, Vietnam, Iran, India, Philippines, and China from the Asian continent, and five articles from the countries Tanzania, Ethiopia, and South Africa from the African continent. The results of the study show that the father's role in exclusive breastfeeding in developing countries is to provide emotional support, practical support and informational support so that mothers have a greater chance of producing breast milk more effectively. Husband’s support towards breastfeeding mothers positively affects the mother's psychological condition and success, especially in exclusive breastfeeding. The next author is expected to help make the policy if health workers are required, especially the policy for husbands to be involved in giving counseling while accompanying their wives in health facilities.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children due to chronic malnutrition. Early detection of various indicators of families at risk of stunting is an important effort in preventing stunting in the community. This research aims to analyze the comparison of indicators of families at risk of stunting in districts with high per capita income and districts with low per capita income. The Method is secondary data research. The data source is the results of the 2021 National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) Survey of East Nusa Tenggara Province. The sample size is 878 families divided into 439 families at risk of stunting from high-income districts per capita, and 439 families at risk of stunting from low-income districts. Sampling was carried out by stratification sampling technique or layered sampling. The independent variable is an indicator of a family at risk of stunting, namely the age of the mother, education, fixed income, number of children, sources of drinking water, proper latrines, and habitable houses, and the dependent variable is income per capita in the district where the family lives. The data were identified and statistically analyzed using bivariate Chi-Square test and multivariate logistic regression with a significant p-value <0.05. The result show that the chi-square test mother's age (p = 0.31), mother's education (p=0.77), fixed family income (p=0.00), number of children (p=0.17), availability of water sources clean (p=0.67), healthy latrine ownership (p=0.82), and healthy home ownership (p=0.03). Logistic regression test results for family fixed income (p=0.00), healthy home (p=0.07). The Conclusion is mother's age, mother's education, number of children, availability of clean water sources, ownership of latrines, and healthy homes are the main indicators of the risk of stunting in families. This indicator has no difference between families living in areas with low per capita income, and families living in areas with high incomes.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to changes in uncontrolled consumption patterns and decreased physical activity among female teaching staff members. Therefore, they tend to gain weight, leading to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and comorbidities. In support of the government’s efforts, the prevalence of obesity must be reduced through healthy behavioral changes. This study aimed to identify the cause of obesity among female lecturers in Aceh during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study used a case-control design and was conducted in Aceh Province from March to June 2021. The sample consisted of 65 female lecturers (obese) and 65 controls (non-obese), obtained by purposive sampling. Physical activity, NCDs history, anthropometric, BMI, and blood pressure data were collected and analyzed using the chi-square test at a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results found that Female lecturers in Aceh had a higher prevalence of obesity (55.4%). This was because of age > 45 years (p= 0.013; AOR= 2.42), junk food consumption (p= 0.017; AOR= 2.33), not on a diet (p= 0.034; AOR= 2.13), and less physical activity (p= 0.012; AOR= 2.79). During the Covid-19 pandemic, neither income nor pickle consumption were risk factors for obesity (p > 0.05). However, arthritis (p= 0.034; AOR= 2.12) and hypertension (p= 0.003; AOR= 2.93) were present in a high proportion of obese female lecturers (p < 0.05). Additionally, the risk of obesity during the Covid-19 pandemic in Aceh was unrelated (p > 0.05) to diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. In conclusion, obesity among female lecturers in Aceh was caused by risk factors such as age, junk food consumption, and lack of physical activity during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is also associated with NCDs including arthritis and hypertension. It is hoped that avoiding obesity will prevent the emergence of non-communicable diseases.

Abstract

Early child development is a critical phase for lifelong health, resulting from the influence of various factors. The present study assessed the factors associated with children’s deviant development. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 88 infants aged 6-12 months in six Public Health Centres in East Pontianak, West Kalimantan. Breastfeeding duration at each session, the frequency in a day and the length of breastfeeding in months, mothers’ knowledge, behavior, and the habit of squeezing in children were the risk factors for early development. A chi-square analysis of the relationship between risk factors and children’s development. Overall, the results indicated that shorter breastfeeding duration at each session (p=0.027), non-exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.050), and low mothers’ knowledge (p=0.032) significantly affected children’s development. These results suggested that exclusive breastfeeding and enough knowledge enhance infant development.

Abstract

One of the causes of stunting is poor nutritional intake in infancy and recurrent illnesses due to an unhealthy environment. Mothers of under-five children are the potential strategic target to be empowered to manage stunting. They have to be empowered to meet nutritional needs during infancy. Complementary breast milk food containing calcium, zinc, selenium, iodine, Fe, protein, and phosphorus can be developed using local foodstuffs. This study aimed to investigate the impact of community empowerment training on the knowledge improvement of mothers regarding the development of locally sourced complementary feeding products (MP-ASI) as an intervention to address stunting issues and to formulate a nutrient-rich complementary food product for infants aged 6-12 months. The research design employed was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-and post-test with a control group design. The study subjects were mothers with infants aged 6-12 months residing in Triharjo Village, Kapanewon Pandak, who met the inclusion criteria and were willing to participate. Mothers who were unable to read and write were excluded from the study. The study was conducted in Triharjo Village, Kapanewon Pandak, Bantul, from April to July 2022. A total of 54 respondents, selected through simple random sampling, were included as the study sample out of 100 families population. Knowledge data were collected using a questionnaire as the data collection instrument and analyzed using the Dependent T-Test and Independent T-Test at a 95% confidence level. The results indicated a significant difference in knowledge improvement (delta) between the treatment and control groups. A locally sourced complementary food product for infants aged 6-12 months, named "SITOLE" porridge, was developed as an outcome. The development data of the MP-ASI product (Sitole porridge) were compiled using a group discussion method.

Abstract

The disease that is the number one cause of death in the world today is heart disease. Actions to overcome the problem of coronary heart disease, one of them with surgery. Pain is a significant issue at all stages of surgery. Post-cardiac surgery discomfort should be manageable with smartphone-based nursing care. The goal of this study was to determine if smartphone-based nursing care may help heart surgery patients feel less pain. The research design used a quasi-experimental pre- and post-control group design. The sample size in this study was 46 respondents, which were divided into 23 respondents in the intervention group and 23 respondents in the control group. The inclusion criteria of this study were cardiac surgery patients on the first day, adult patients receiving paracetamol drip therapy and 1000 mg tablets, and hemodynamic stability. Nursing interventions to deal with pain in this study were carried out using hypnosis and music videos in smartphone-based applications. Research results showed a post-treatment pain score of 2.04 in the intervention group and 4.60 in the control group. Nursing interventions carried out using videos in smartphone-based applications are able to overcome post-cardiac surgery pain, so pain management using smartphones can be an intervention choice to deal with post-cardiac surgery pain. Hypnosis and music nursing interventions using videos on smartphone-based applications can be used as nursing therapy to treat pain after cardiac surgery.
