Abstract

Along with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in reports of confirmed cases of pregnant women with COVID-19. Exposure to the virus in pregnancy can affect the fetus and result in long-term vulnerability to abnormalities in the child's brain development. This study aimed to determine the impact of prenatal Covid-19 on the development of toddlers. The research method uses observational cross-sectional analysis. Secondary data on confirmed Covid-19 mothers were obtained from Prof. RD Kandou General Hospital, Wolter Monginsidi Hospital, and Manado Adventist Hospital. Primary data on toddler development using the KPSP Development Questionnaire instrument were obtained from 10 Community Health Centers in Manado City with a total of 92 respondents for two, 46 respondents were born to mothers with Covid-19 during the prenatal period and 46 toddlers were born to mothers who were not confirmed to have Covid-19 during the prenatal period. The results showed that there was no significant effect with a p-value of 0.562 for toddlers born to Covid-19 mothers on impaired gross motor, fine motor, socialization, and independence, speech, and language development. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that both toddlers born to Covid-19 mothers and toddlers who were not born to Covid-19 mothers are at risk of experiencing growth disturbances, especially toddlers born during the Covid-19 pandemic because there could be long-term effects that could occur in infants who are exposed to the virus during the prenatal/intrauterine period.

Abstract

Utilization of technological media in the field of education and health can increase public knowledge in efforts to prevent anemia, especially in young women. One of the efforts to prevent anemia and increase adherence to taking iron tablets is by using Web-based educational media (E-WoHealth) about iron tablets supplemented with a tablet supplement consumption control card. This research aims to develop Web-based E-WoHealth media and its effect on the level of adherence to the consumption of blood supplement tablets. This study used the Research and development (R&D) method with the Borg & Gall development model and the Pre-experimental Design quantitative method using the One Group Pretest-Postest approach. The sample in this study was 80 girls in grades VII and VIII of SMP Negeri 11 Gorontalo City, determined by purposive sampling technique. Statistical tests used the McNemar test and the Chi-Square test. The results of the McNemar test showed differences in the measurement results before and after being given the Web-based E-WoHealth media with a p-value of 0.000 <0.05 meaning that the Web-based E-WoHealth media was effective in increasing adherence to consumption of iron supplement tablets (TTD) in class VII and class VIII girls and the results of the Chi-Square P-Value test were 0.822 > 0.05 meaning that there was no difference in adherence between class VII and VII girls. This study recommends the application of WEB-based E-WoHealth media equipped with an iron supplement control card to increase adherence and monitor iron supplement consumption.

Abstract

The report from the Bone Bolango District Health Office shows that the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding for the last 3 years has decreased, namely in 2019 by 28.3%, in 2020 by 16%, and in 2021 it has decreased by 12.7%. Many factors cause the low rate of exclusive breastfeeding in children, one of which is caused by poor knowledge about breastfeeding. Based on these problems, media is needed to increase the skills of pregnant women regarding breast care. This research aims to create a web platform called E-WoHealth which can improve pregnant women's skills regarding breast care. This research used Research and Development (R&D) methods. Then to see the difference before and after the use of Web-based E- WoHealth on the skill level of pregnant women in performing breast care using the Pre-Experimental Design (One group pretest-posttest design). This study was carried out in the working area of the Kabila Health Center, Oluhuta, Kec. Kabila, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo. Population in research tian namely third-trimester pregnant women in the working area of the Kabila Health Center, Bone Bolango Regency, as many as 60. Data collection techniques, documentation, questionnaires, tests, and observations. The results showed that the results of the web-based E-WoHealth feasibility test were in the very feasible category, and the statistical test results showed that the web-based E-WoHealth was effective in increasing pregnant women's skill regarding breast care with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). Thus, education on breast care using web-based E-WoHealth is feasible and effective in increasing the skills of pregnant women before and after the intervention. It is hoped that the health office can socialize this platform with pregnant women to raise awareness about breast care.

Abstract

Midwifery is a profession based on women-centered and evidence-based care through the provision of mutually respectful professional relationships and partnerships. To train students' skills, repeated learning is needed, learning can be sourced from experiences such as doing self-reflection by keeping a reflective journal. This research aims to analyze the effect of applying self-reflection using a reflective journal on oxytocin massage skills. This research is an experimental research using a one-group pretest-posttest group design approach, taking samples using a simple random sampling technique. The research population was all level III students in a bivariate analysis using the Friedman ANOVA test. The results showed that the pretest mean value was 59.28 increasing to 79.50 in the first posttest and 83.38 in the second posttest with a p-value <0.05, which means that there is an effect of applying reflective journals using reflective journals on oxytocin massage skills. Having students write reflective journals is a great way for them to learn new concepts. This approach is also useful for lecturers to get feedback on the concepts being studied by students. The use of reflective journals will guide students to analyze what they have and do not know about the material being studied and how to overcome the obstacles encountered so that learning goals are achieved and foster independent learning in students.

Abstract

Horticultural farmers use chemicals such as pesticides to increase productivity and product quality. Exposure to pesticides can cause health problems, especially in the liver. A reference for evaluating liver function is blood test results for ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT activity. This study aimed to characterize the transaminase enzyme activity in horticultural farmers in the southern ring road area of Jambi City based on the risk factors associated with pesticide exposure. This study employed a cross-sectional study approach in conjunction with a descriptive method. Thirty-four participants were involved, and blood samples were obtained from each for analysis in a lab. A photometer was utilized in the Medical Laboratory Technology department at Health Polytechnic of Jambi to measure the activity of liver enzymes. This study found some respondents who experienced increased enzyme activity, namely ALT: 8 people (23.5%), AST: 3 people (8.8%), ALP: 1 person (2.9%), and GGT: 1 person (2.9%.). Based on the risk description observed, it was known that the intensity of pesticide exposure showed a significant increase only in ALT enzyme activity (p=0.0048), while adherence to mask-wearing increased ALT (p=0.0018) and GGT (p=0.0134). This study discovered that wearing a mask and the amount of pesticide exposure can increase enzyme activity, which may indicate liver impairment in the horticultural farmers under observation. Workers are expected to pay greater attention to workplace safety by wearing masks and applying pesticides in the recommended dosages.

Abstract

The high prevalence of depression in developed and developing countries requires a relevant intervention to suppress its incidence. Mindfulness-based intervention is given online as a new complementary intervention that can help reduce symptoms of depression. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of online mindfulness-based interventions in reducing depressive symptoms in pregnancy. This research method used a randomized control trial, with 66 participants consisting of the mindfulness-based Intervention (MBI) group of 33 participants and the control group of 33 participants. The MBI intervention was provided for eight weeks online. The study uses simple random sampling. Depression was assessed using DASS 42. Data were tested using the Mann-Whitney U Test and t-test and processed with SPSS version 23. The results showed that there was a significant decrease in depression levels in the online MBI group after being given intervention compared to the control group (7.55 ± 2.181 vs 11.00 ± 2.345) p=0.000. Mindfulness-based intervention online can reduce depressive symptoms in pregnant women, so that the intervention becomes a feasible, cheap and easy intervention for pregnant women in improving mental health. In the future, this research can develop other types of complementary interventions to improve maternal and fetal health.

Abstract

The number of people with disorders is gradually increasing from one year to the next. In Indonesia, the estimated number of people with mental illness is around 450,000 with a severe mental illness where 31.5% of people with mental illness are shackled by their families and 15% do not seek any medical treatment. Patients with mental disorders are in a state of mindset and emotions that are unstable, so the role of the family is needed to help people with self-care activities. According to Andersen, there are three factors that impact health service utilization. Factors that influence include predisposing factors, enabling factors, and need factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that are associated with re-visiting outpatients at Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Lawang Mental Hospital. The research method is quantitative research with a cross-sectional study approach. The research sample was the family who accompanied the patient to make an outpatient re-visit with a total of 400 respondents. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling. The data analysis used in this study was the Chi-Square test. The results indicated that there was a significant relationship between knowledge (p-value: 0.006), attitude (p-value: 0.000), income (p-value: 0.032), family support (p-value: 0.00), and information support (p-value: 0.003) with the re-visit of outpatients at Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Lawang Mental Hospital. Predisposing factors and enabling factors are both associated with re-visiting outpatients at Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Lawang Mental Hospital. Future researchers are hoped to study other aspects such as hospital health service system components and need factors that may be associated to recurrent visits of mental illness patients by utilizing a more comprehensive questionnaire to acquire better information.

Abstract

Sterculia quadrifida (SQ) is a plant which is also known as "faloak" by the people of East Nusa Tenggara. The secondary metabolite content of this plant has sufficient potential to be developed. Taking the bark of SQ which is not balanced with its preservation can threaten its survival. The use of SQ leaves as a new traditional medicine needs to be tested for its efficacy and safety.The aim of the study was to provide information about the efficacy and safety of SQ leaves in the development of new traditional medicines. The acute toxicity test used the fix-dose combination method according to the BPOM recommendation. A single oral dose of 2000 mg/KgBw of extract was given to five male mice at 24 h intervals. Animals were observed individually for any clinical signs of toxicity or mortality for 24 hours and 14 days. DPT (difteri, pertussis, tetanus)-Hb (Hepatitis-B) was used as a fever inducer in the antipyretic test of infusion and ethanol extract of SQ leaves. For acute treatment, the ethanol extract of Sterculia quadrifida (EESQ)  did not reveal any signs of toxicity or mortality in any animal, during the observation period. The LD50 of extract was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/KgBw. A dose of 2000 mg/KgBw  in mice for 14 days showed significant side effects on the liver and spleen which were marked by organ weights that were significantly different from the control group. Paracetamol as positive control, infusion of Sterculia quadrifida leaves (ISQ) 100%, and EESQ 400 mg/KgBw showed a significant difference (p<0.05) with the negative control group. The results showed that SQ leaf has potential as an antipyretic, but liver function must be monitored, even though the LD50 value is above 2000 mg/KgBw.

Abstract

Soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) is one of the markers that plays a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. This study aimed to analyze the levels of umbilical cord sFlt-1 in relation to blood pressure and birth weight in babies on preeclamptic mothers. The study employed an analytical cross-sectional observational design. The sample size for this study consists of 33 participants. The levels of umbilical cord sFlt-1 were examined using the ELISA method. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test to determine the differences in sFlt-1 levels, blood pressure, and birth weight. Spearman's rank correlation test was used to determine the correlation between sFlt-1 levels and blood pressure and birth weight. The sFlt-1 examination results indicated a significant difference between the preeclampsia and normal pregnancy groups. The mean sFlt-1 level in the preeclampsia group was 10.693 ng/mL (SD ±6.535 ng/mL), whereas in the normal pregnancy group, it was 3.572 ng/mL (SD ±1.225 ng/mL). This difference suggests that sFlt-1 levels are significantly higher in mothers with preeclampsia compared to those with normal pregnancies. This finding is consistent with the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, which involves endothelial dysfunction and an increase in anti-angiogenic factors such as sFlt-1.
