Abstract

Basic Life Support (BLS) training is a must for nurses before entering the world of work. During the establishment of the pandemic in Indonesia, many face-to-face interactions were limited. The limitation also impacts the learning method of nurses. Most of the institutions use the E-learning (online) method. E-learning in nursing study has several advantages, such as being efficient, economical, and flexible. However, it also has disadvantages such as internet access, lack of interaction, and lack of direct practice with the media. This literature review aims to find the best e-learning methods for BLS training. The research design is a literature review. The article was conducted in three journal databases: Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed. A total of 16 articles that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. The study showed that blended learning is the best recommended learning method for BLS. Combined learning methods improve the knowledge and skill performance of the students.

Abstract

Depression and anxiety during pregnancy can increase the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, low Apgar scores, and fetal death The past COVID-19 pandemic caused significant anxiety and infection fear, causing significant harm to pregnant women's lives. Public access to health services has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of pregnancy care home visits on depression and anxiety of pregnant women. Efforts should therefore be made to increase visits by pregnant women while maintaining health protocols during the pandemic. The research method is a Quasi-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest design. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling with the inclusion criteria of pregnant women who did not re-examine at the Health Center for 1 month and pregnant women who were willing to be selected as respondents. obtained 28 pregnant women as respondents. The instruments used are the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). The data analysis technique used the Paired Simple T-test. The results of the study showed that there was an increase in depression and anxiety during pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic, this data was obtained from interviews and pregnancy care with home visits. The depression rate at the initial data of 12.36 dropped to 3.50, and the anxiety rate of 22.46 dropped to 6.61 after being given prenatal care with home visits. In these difficult times, the need for prenatal health care can ensure the provision of protective and safe services and psychological screening of pregnant women at risk for depression to reduce long-term negative outcomes should be carried out.

Abstract

The use of contact lenses continues to increase, raising attention to aspects of eye health because of their hygienic factors. The hygiene of contact lenses comes not only from the way they are treated but also from the soaking fluid. This study aimed to determine the total bacterial count on contact lenses with and without the use of immersion solutions. The research method used is a comparative descriptive research method that compares the two pairs of contact lenses with two different contact lens solutions. The total bacterial count was calculated using the total plate count (TPC) method. The number of bacterial colonies for contact lenses before being immersed in liquid A was found in dilution 10-2 with an amount of 4.4×103 CFU/mL, and after soaking, it was in dilution 10-1 with an amount of 8.5×102 CFU/mL. The number of bacterial colonies on contact lenses before being immersed in B liquid was found in 10-1 dilution with an amount of 1.3×103 CFU/mL, and after being soaked, the average colony was 3.9×104 CFU/mL. From these results, it can be seen that in contact lenses and liquid A, there is a decrease in the number of bacterial colonies, while on the other hand, in liquid B, there is an increase in the number of bacterial colonies. The causal factor is thought to originate from the composition of the solutions. However, do not rule out contamination from bottles and contact lens care. Therefore, this research can be used as a basis for hygiene education in contact lenses.

Abstract

Microorganisms do not cause non-communicable diseases (NCDs) but tend to change in modern lifestyles that do not apply CERDIK. In past research, the risk of suffering from non-communicable diseases was influenced by behavior, which consisted of three domains, namely knowledge, attitudes, and actions, without considering other individual factors. This study aims to assess the influence of individual health history factors, BMI, and behavior. The design used is cross-sectional. A sample of 302 people aged 15-59 are at risk of NCD and often visit fast food restaurants. Sampling using cluster random sampling. The variables collected are individual health history, BMI, and behavior. Data collection was carried out from April to June 2023. The analysis carried out was descriptive and structural equation modeling using PLS (Partial Least Square) software. The influence of the individual health history factor is 0.116, the BMI factor is 0.277, and the behavioral factor is -0.107. The resulting formula is . This formula can be used as a method to calculate the individual risk of suffering from NCDs.

Abstract

The Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (IVA) test aims to diagnose early so that it can speed up treatment, reduce morbidity and mortality in women due to cervical cancer. IVA test coverage in Magelang district has not reached the target, especially in the at-risk group. The study aims to see the difference in utilization of IVA services in groups of mothers who are divided into at-risk and non-risk groups. The method used was quantitative method that uses a comparative design. The study population was all mothers aged 30-50 years in Magelang district. Respondents of each group were 68 people determined by proportional sampling technique. Univariate analysis with frequency distribution table and bivariate analysis with Mann-Whitney test because the data was not normally distributed. There was no difference in the utilization of IVA services between the at-risk and non-risk groups (p=0.205). However, it was statistically proven that the at-risk group had a better level of knowledge, attitude, and lifestyle, and felt more vulnerable and needed an IVA test than the non-risk group. Meanwhile, the non-risk group had better perceptions of accessibility and health worker support than the risk group. Risk factor mapping at the Health Center level needs to be done to develop needs-based interventions to increase IVA coverage.

Abstract

This study addresses the vital role of information as a reproductive health right and emphasizes the responsibility of family planning officers, including health workers, to disseminate accurate information for ensuring public reproductive health. The research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of SITEPIS Contraception, an online information service designed to aid family planning officers in conveying contraceptive information. SITEPIS is a web application offering comprehensive information on contraception, medical eligibility criteria, and a live chat service. This study involves 28 family planning officers at sub-district and village levels in Bogor and West Lombok districts. Employing a descriptive research approach, the study includes socialization events introducing Sitepis Contraception, encouraging usage, and collecting officers' evaluations. Results indicate positive feedback from all officers, citing the website's appealing design, user-friendly accessibility, and essential features for effective information delivery. Despite challenges related to internet network support in certain areas, officers express willingness to use the SITEPIS website for their community information duties. Notably, while face-to-face interaction is preferred by most officers, SITEPIS contraception serves as a valuable tool for information dissemination. The study underscores the underutilization of online information as the primary method among family planning officers in Indonesia. Despite this, it recognizes the potential of online platforms, like SITEPIS, in reaching diverse societal levels. The findings emphasize the need for further examination of SITEPIS Contraception from the community's perspective, the primary target audience, to enhance its effectiveness. In conclusion, the study advocates for the integration of online information tools to empower family planning officers in fulfilling their crucial role as information providers.

Abstract

Adequate macronutrients and micronutrients during pregnancy can support optimal fetal growth and development in addition to meeting the needs of the mother to ensure a healthy pregnancy.  The region of residence is one of the factors that contribute to determining how nutrition is fulfilled in groups of pregnant women. This study aims to compare the adequacy of macronutrients and micronutrients between pregnant women in urban and rural areas. This study involved 50 pregnant women, 25 in urban areas and 25 in rural areas. Nutritional information was obtained using a food recall questionnaire that was assessed for 3 days, namely on 2 working days (not consecutive) and 1 day off and also using a food frequency questioner (FFQ). Data was analyzed using Chi Square and Results showed a difference in carbohydrate (p=0.049) and protein (p=0.045) consumption between urban and rural pregnant women, while energy (p=0.053) and fat (p=0.056) showed no difference in adequacy. For micronutrients, Vitamin A (p=0.043) and B12 (p=0.042) consumption showed differences between urban and rural pregnant women, while for vitamin C (p=0.065), vitamin B1 (p=0.078), vitamin B2 (p=0.084), B3 (p=0.056), B6 (p=0.075), E (p=0.088), Iron (p=0.052), Folic acid (p=0.067), Calcium (p=0.054), Phosphorus (p=0.055), fiber (p=0.079), showed no difference in consumption between urban and rural pregnant women. The consumption of micronutrients and macronutrients of pregnant women in rural and urban areas showed less intake than recommended. Nutrition education needs to be improved not only focusing on pregnant women but also on adolescent groups, pre-conception period so that early on good consumption patterns have been formed which will always be applied throughout life.

Abstract

Aloe barbadensis is a plant with many applications such as anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and aiding in cell regeneration. Understanding aloe barbadensis' phytochemical profile and pharmacological action is essential since it is believed to have an impact on the formation of teeth and bones. The stability and bioavailability of Aloe barbadensis can be improved by formulating it as an instant powder. The research's objectives are to ascertain the Aloe barbadensis instant powder's qualitative and quantitative phytochemical profile, dosage formulations, and activity testing on hemoglobin, cholesterol, and red blood cell parameters. Samples of aloe barbadensis were washed, and they were then dried for 72 hours at 50°C. Following a maceration process using a 70% ethanol solvent, the extract was dried. Phytochemical screening, TLC profile, and extract description were employed to test the extract qualitatively. The quantities of total flavonoids, total anthraquinones, and total phenolics were determined to quantitatively test the extract. The formulation of the instant powder was then completed and evaluated on female mice using metrics associated with red blood cells, hemoglobin, and cholesterol levels. Furthermore, observations were made on the mice's liver organs. The study's findings revealed a qualitative profile of Aloe barbadensis extract, which included a tasteless, unique odor, milky white hue, and liquid shape. Aloe barbadensis has been demonstrated to contain flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, saponins, and anthraquinones, according to the results of phytochemical screening. Three spots, identified as Rf 3.2 and Rf 8.5 in the Rf 2.3 area, are visible in the chromatographic pattern. Total anthraquinones were discovered to be 4.59%, total flavonoids to be 0.24%, and total phenolic content to be 1.42%. The third formula of instant Aloe barbadensis pollen has been demonstrated through preclinical examinations to have the capacity to reduce cholesterol, boost hemoglobin, and enhance red blood cell count—all of which are associated with the growth of teeth and bones. An SPSS statistical study demonstrating statistically significant differences with other groups supports this. Mice liver histopathological examinations revealed no liver damage in any of the test groups.

Abstract

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a crucial antibody originating in mucosal lymphoid tissue, actively distributed across the epithelium. It plays a vital role in binding to and neutralizing microbes that threaten organisms through mucosal organs, thereby contributing to mucosal or secretory immunity. This research aims to determine the Cytotoxicity of Sodium Bicarbonate Solution to Human Gingival Fibroblast Cells.  The research method used to investigate the safety and efficacy of various sodium bicarbonate concentrations, we conducted a laboratory experimental study utilizing a post-test-only control group design. Sodium bicarbonate solutions with concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3.5%, 7%, 10%, 15%, and 20% were tested. The results of the study using analysis through ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD revealed that solutions with concentrations of 20%, 15%, and 10% exhibited comparable non-toxicity to fibroblast cells, as they shared the same column. In contrast, concentrations of 7%, 3.5%, 2%, and 1% were found to have toxicity levels that exceeded the IC50 threshold. Further examination using the Tukey HSD test showed that the 2% and 3.5% concentration groups did not show significant differences. In conclusion, the Sodium bicarbonate solutions with concentrations of 7%, 3.5%, 2%, and 1% are not toxic to fibroblast cells and can be used as a basis for further research applications based on sodium bicarbonate materials. It is recommended for future studies to conduct further examinations with different concentrations.
