Abstract

Lack of knowledge, misperceptions, and the absence of a diabetes management culture pose challenges to providing social support, particularly within families. This is a qualitative phenomenological study aimed at identifying factors contributing to self-management, unearthing the influence of a patrilineal culture, and uncovering the educational needs for local wisdom-based diabetes mellitus self-management in type 2 patients. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically. The study population consisted of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients living within patrilineal families. The sample size was 10 female individuals aged between 40 and 60 years. The duration of type 2 DM ranged from 6 to 15 years. Four themes emerged from the research: (1) Insufficiency in self-management, (2) Beliefs and perceptions about type 2 diabetes mellitus, (3) The influence of patrilineal families on self-management, and (4) The need for the development of educational programs for self-management type 2 DM management rooted in local culture. According to the results, people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus may not be capable of managing their health. Though there are many different opinions and views regarding Type 2 DM, there are frequently gaps in our knowledge. The management of diabetes is greatly impacted by patrilineal family systems. Participants express a significant need for educational programs that are culturally sensitive and improve their ability to control their diabetes.

Abstract

Approximately 39.2% of individuals diagnosed with diabetes experience complications. The most common complication reported is diabetic foot, affecting 43.4% of those with complications, followed by nephropathy at 29.5%. Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) is essential in type 2 diabetes care, as it equips patients with the skills and confidence needed to manage their condition effectively, thereby reducing complications, enhancing quality of life, and minimising healthcare costs. This study aimed to determine the effect of DSME online educational videos on self-care and self-efficacy of type 2 DM patients. A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 696 diabetic type 2 outpatients from February to March 2023. The patient was selected for purposive sampling from Tamansari Health Center Tasikmalaya Regency. The intervention group (n = 21) received 1 week of online videos about  DSME health education in every day. The control group (n = 21) received regular health education in Tamansari Health Centre as care services. Data were collected using The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) and Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) questionnaires. Data were analysed using paired t-test and independent t-test analysis. There is an effect after being given online DSME educational videos on self-care and self-efficacy of type 2 DM patients with a significance value of self-care and self-efficacy p = 0.000 (p <0.05), it can be concluded that the use of online DSME educational videos affects increasing self-care and self-efficacy of type 2 DM patients.

Abstract

We are still attempting to reduce COVID-19 morbidity and mortality through several means, including immunization. In early December 2021, Indonesia had 49.19% coverage of the second COVID-19 vaccination. Researching and collecting data on the association between vaccine completion and symptom severity is critical to persuade individuals to vaccinate. This study aims to examine the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination status and the degree of symptom severity in COVID-19 patients. This cross-sectional study used secondary data from the medical records of COVID-19 patients at the PDHI Yogyakarta Islamic Hospital from June to October 2021. The "PeduliLindungi" application was used to acquire vaccination status information. We used the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression for bivariate and multivariate analyses. The study enrolled 112 participants who met the criteria. The severity of COVID-19 symptoms was related to vaccination status and hypertension. Patients who were unvaccinated or had only partially vaccinated were 62.383 times more likely to develop severe and critical severity (aOR 62.383; 95% CI 12.129-320.861). Patients with hypertension were 3.643 times more likely than those without hypertension to experience severe or critical symptoms (aOR=3.643; 95% CI 1.025-12.952). Male gender, elderly age, chronic lung illness, and diabetes mellitus slightly increased the likelihood of severe symptoms but were not statistically significant. Complete immunization is strongly advised to reduce the risk of severe or critical symptoms.

Abstract

Antibiotic sensitivity testing is essential for determining bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics. In disc diffusion testing, several technical factors influence the diameter of the inhibition zone, including incubation temperature, which must be carefully controlled to ensure the validity of test results. This study aims to determine the mean, difference, and analyze the diameter of the inhibition zone of the antibiotics, namely Clindamycin, Levofloxacin, Tetracycline, and Trimethoprim against Staphylococcus aureus on Mueller-Hinton agar media with incubation temperatures of 33°C, 34°C, 35°C, 36°C and 37°C for 18 hours. This research is observational, with a cross-sectional design. The primary data is 100 data on the diameter of the antibiotic inhibition zone, obtained by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone with different incubation temperatures. The selection of antibiotics is based on the mechanism of action of antibiotics inhibiting bacteria, namely the cell wall or cell membrane that surrounds the bacterial cell; the pieces of machinery that make the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, and the machinery that produces proteins (the ribosome and associated proteins) with a range of inhibition zones based on Internal Quality Control CLSI. The data and the repeated measure statistical test will be processed univariately to determine the significance of the difference in the diameter of the formed inhibition zone using the ANOVA test. The measurement of the inhibition zone diameter on the incubation temperature variation showed a significant difference with a p-value of 0.000 for Levofloxacin, Tetracycline, and Trimethoprim, while the p-value of Clindamycin is 0.010. For the other antibiotics, Levofloxacin, Tetracycline, and Trimethoprim antibiotics, the higher the incubation temperature, the average diameter of the inhibition zone is condensed, while for Clindamycin the higher the incubation temperature, the higher the average diameter of the inhibition zone is the same. Incubation temperature and volume affect the diameter of the antibiotic inhibition zone in the disc diffusion method for the antibiotic sensitivity test. It can be concluded that incubation temperature affects the diameter of the antibiotic inhibition zone in disc diffusion tests. It is recommended for future standardized and precise testing conditions to ensure accurate and reliable antibiotic sensitivity results.

Abstract

One of the indicators of service quality at the hospital is Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) that can be prevented by hand hygiene, which is a procedure for cleaning hands with soap water, or alcohol-based liquids. This study aimed to identify the effect of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) training on the level of knowledge and compliance of five moments for hand hygiene in nurses at the Dharma Yadnya Hospital in Denpasar. This study used a pre-experimental one-group pre-post test without a control group design. The number of samples was 42 nurses with purposive sampling techniques that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that before training 26 nurses (61.9%) had a good level of knowledge, and after training, 41 nurses (97.6%) had good knowledge. With regard to compliance with five moments for hand hygiene, before training 22 nurses (52.4%) were not compliant, and after training 29 nurses (69%) imperfectly adhered to the procedure. Mandatory training in IPC influences the level of knowledge and adherence to the five moments for hand hygiene among nurses. Suggestions for hospitals to provide continuity of education related to IPC, monitor nurses' compliance behaviors of the five moments for hand hygiene, either by direct observation or electronically, and provide rewards and punishments for behavioral evaluations.

Abstract

Prediabetes is a continuous spectrum of developmental stages before a person is diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Considering the long-term effects of pharmacological treatment, other natural-based methods are needed. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of Aloe Vera Juice on the reduction of fasting blood glucose levels in patients with prediabetes in Pontianak City. A pre and post-test design study was conducted between March and July 2021 at Alianyang Public Health Center. A total of 12 subjects were identified as prediabetic at the beginning of the study through screening involved in this study. The included subjects were asked to consume 175 ml of Aloe Vera Juice for 15 consecutive days and measured their fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels on the 16th day. A paired t-test was performed to determine the difference in FBG levels before and after the treatment. Present findings revealed that the mean FBG level before intervention was 107.4 mg / dL and 92.1 mg/dL after the intervention. A statistically different FBG reduction significance was found between groups (p<0.001). Consuming Aloe vera juice regularly for 15 days has proven to lower FBG levels among prediabetics. Future studies with better adherence monitor and larger sample sizes might have resulted in better determination of the intervention's effect.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are common in tropical and sub-tropical regions where they can have substantial local public health impacts. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of STH infection in the community and children aged 6 to 11 years attending government-run schools in the Simanindo sub-district of Samosir Island. In total, 314 individuals in the community and 187 children aged 6 to 11 years attending government schools were invited to provide a fecal sample. All fecal samples were examined microscopically using the Kato-Katz technique. The prevalence of STH infection in the community was 46.8% (147/314). Infections were caused by Ascaris lumbricoides (n=52), followed by Trichuris trichiura (n=48), and hookworms (n=26). The prevalence of STH infection in school-age children was 4.8% in 2023. All infections in this cohort were due to T. trichiura. Even though the MDA program effectively controls A. lumbricoides and hookworm infections in school children, the problem of controlling T. trichiura infection remains. Therefore, selective treatment after fecal sample examination is needed to prevent T. trichiura infection and the potential for infection-associated anemia. Health education focusing on personal hygiene and environmental sanitation is still important for preventing STH infections. The suggestion is a new community-based survey with random sampling is necessary to ensure the present prevalence of STH in the community.

Abstract

Cocrystallization is a widely used approach to enhance the solubility and dissolution characteristics of poorly soluble drugs. A pharmaceutical cocrystal is a multicomponent system composed of a solid active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and a coformer, governed by non-covalent interactions. Screening for suitable coformers is essential to obtain an optimal cocrystal for specific drugs. This study aims to determine the drug-coformer interactions to select the most suitable coformer for cocrystal formation using the molecular docking method. Mefenamic acid, classified as a class II drug in the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS), was used as the model drug. Two-dimensional structures of mefenamic acid (PubChem CID: 4044) and potential coformers were sourced from PubChem. Geometric optimization of all compounds was performed using GaussView 5.0.8 and Gaussian09 with the 3-21G basis set and Density Functional Theory (DFT) B3LYP method. The optimized compounds were prepared by adding hydrogen atoms and calculating Kollman partial charges using AutoDock 4.2. A grid box of size 40 Å × 40 Å × 40 Å was generated, with a maximum radius of 0.375 Å set as the surface distance in each simulation. A hundred conformations were run using the Lamarckian Genetic Algorithm. Interaction types and binding energies were analyzed using VMD 1.9.2 and BIOVIA Discovery Studio 2020 to compare interactions between mefenamic acid and each coformer. The results revealed that most coformer compounds formed interactions with mefenamic acid via hydrogen bonding and π–interactions. Saccharin demonstrated the most optimal interaction with mefenamic acid, with a binding free energy of –3.1 kcal/mol. Saccharin was identified as the most suitable coformer for mefenamic acid cocrystal formation based on the molecular docking study. Further experimental validation of saccharin is recommended to confirm its effectiveness in cocrystallization with mefenamic acid.

Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever remains a global health concern, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, such as Indonesia. Plasma leakage is the main symptom of Dengue infection which be seen through a hemoconcentration. NLR and PLR are cost-effective and easily measurable indexes that help to predict signs of infection. This study aims to analyze the correlation of NLR and PLR as early sign on hemoconcentration in Dengue infection. This study was an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at the inpatient infectious disease wards of Dr. Moewardi General Hospital and Sebelas Maret University Hospital. The data was statistically analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analysis. There were seventy subject which of male was more than female. The result of bivariate analysis showed a statistically significant correlation for NLR (p = 0,008; r = 0,314) and non-significant for PLR (p = 0,150; r = 0,174). Both NLR and PLR were positively correlated with hemoconcentration. The effect of NLR on hemoconcentration was significant. There was a positive correlation significant between NLR and hemoconcentration in Dengue infection.

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting are common conditions in earlier pregnancy. Some studies have suggested that nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) is caused by multiple factors, however, few studies assessed family support and psychological factors. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of NVP and its contributing factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted in five Primary Health Centers in Semarang during August 2023. A total of 99 eligible pregnant women were included. A logistic regression was used to determine the significant contributing factors of NVP. The prevalence of moderate to severe and mild NVP was 71.7% and 28.3% respectively. Bivariate analysis indicated that gestational age and anxiety level significantly influence NVP (p-value <0.05). Women with greater gestational age (OR= 2.462; 0.954-6.356) and mild anxiety (OR=3.337; 1.240-8.982) were more likely to experience NVP during their pregnancy. Gestational of 12 weeks and mild anxiety are strongly associated with NVP. These findings highlight the crucial of psychological factors despite other health-related conditions.
