Abstract

Women’s reproductive health disorders occur due to oxidative stress and can be treated with antioxidant intake. One of them is by utilizing the phytochemical content of garlic (Allium sativum). The semi-systematic review method helps authors to identify the pretreatment of garlic compound S-allyl cysteine (SAC) on women's reproductive health. The literature collection was adjusted to the study of the treatment of garlic compounds with search keywords used “Garlic”, “Reproductive health”, “S-allyl cysteine”, and “Women”. The sources used come from online publications from 2010 to 2024. The form of research in the literature review was carried out on test animals, test cells, and test treatments on humans. The selection of information in the reviewed article refers to the year of publication, test products, sample objects, research methods, results, and discussion. The interpretation of the results will be explained descriptively based on the review analysis. Ten study articles have a positive effect of garlic compounds on women's reproductive health. The pretreatment carried out was garlic extract, garlic powder, hexane extract of aged black garlic, dried garlic powder, and aged garlic (black) extract. This review shows that garlic has a main compound S-allyl cysteine (SAC). The bioactive components of garlic can stimulate antioxidant activity and increase the fertility of reproductive organs because it increases the metabolism of oocytes, hormonal regulation, and the maturation of the endometrium. The results of garlic pretreatment showed that aged garlic (black garlic) extract contained S-allyl cysteine (SAC) with more compounds, was more stable, soluble in water, and had minimal toxic content. It allows black garlic (SAC) to have prophylactic properties at the clinical level, so it is possible to develop research on black garlic's effects on women's reproductive health.

Abstract

Plastic is a synthetic or semi-synthetic organic polymer widely used in daily life and industrial production. Microplastics are widespread contaminants and can enter the human body by consuming foods containing microplastics, inhaling microplastics in the air, and making skin contact with microplastic particles in products. Microplastics can enter the ovaries as foreign bodies and can cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and even ovarian granulosa cell death. Polyethylene plastic shards generally have a higher ability to absorb environmental toxins than other types of plastic. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the oldest thermoplastic polymers that is often used as water pipes. PVC has carcinogenic monomers and some harmful additives. This study aims to determine the effect of subacute exposure to micro-nanoplastics per inhalation on SOD and MDA levels in rat ovaries. The research method used is a true experimental design with a Randomize Post Test Only Group Design research design. This study used the ovarian organs of female white rats exposed to PVC and PE for 28 days. The number of samples used in this study amounted to 18 female rats. Subacute exposure to micro-nanoplastics per inhalation can lower SOD levels and significantly increase MDA levels in rat ovaries. This study is expected to provide knowledge and an overview for future research on the mechanism of toxicity of micro-nanoplastic exposure that has an impact on female infertility through free radicals in the ovaries.

Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia was 24.4% in 2021 in Central Java at 20.9%, which is still above the WHO target of 20%. There are many direct and indirect risk factors that cause stunting events.  The purpose of this study is to analyze the risk factors for stunting events in Central Java. This research is an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The collected data was analyzed using the Chi-Square test to assess the relationship between the independent variable (risk factors) and the dependent variable (stunting incidence). In addition, the odds ratio calculation is used to determine the risk level of each factor in influencing the incidence of stunting. The population is all mothers who have toddlers aged 0-59 months in Central Java Province. Data were collected via Google Form for two weeks in December 2023 using the Accidental Sampling technique with a total of 2671 mothers involved in this research. The result shows that the prevalence of stunting is 24.3%. There was no relationship between maternal parity OR 0.865, working mother OR 0.878, maternal BMI OR 0.898, economic status OR 0.954, and the incidence of stunting in toddlers. There was a relationship between maternal education OR 2.120, maternal height OR 1.955, exclusive breastfeeding OR 1.616, the diet OR 3.160, gestational age OR 1.410, the birth weight OR 1.670, and the incidence of stunting in toddlers. It is concluded that several factors collaborate to the high number of stunting, which are maternal education, maternal height, exclusive breastfeeding, diet, gestational age, and birth weight. Further research needs to consider a wider sample, the number of other risk factors which are competency of health provider to diagnose stunting, family support, and extend the length of observation time.

Abstract

Stroke is the leading cause of physical and mental disability worldwide. In Indonesia, the incidence of stroke is alarmingly high, affecting approximately 10.9% of the population annually, with around 713,783 individuals experiencing stroke each year. Understanding how to prevent stroke is crucial. Clear and regular information, along with effective educational media, are essential for increasing public awareness of stroke. This study aims to determine the impact of social media and knowledge on stroke prevention. This type of study is a non-experimental quantitative study using a cross-sectional. This study is conducted in portions, with patients who are willing and able to talk effectively. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were conducted using Pearson correlation tests and linear regression tests. The results show that among the 100 respondents, most were male, aged 41-60 years, and engaged in the best stroke prevention efforts. The Pearson correlation test showed significant correlations between information accuracy, frequency, and educational media for stroke prevention (Pearson p=0.89; p=0.62; p=0.75). The linear regression test revealed that the clarity of information, frequency of information, and educational media together increased stroke prevention efforts (p=0.037), with the clarity of information being the most significant factor. The conclusion is the study concludes that educational media and accurate information are crucial in preventing stroke. It is recommended that the Kasih Sayang Clinic conducts comprehensive stroke education and screening every six months to enhance prevention efforts.

Abstract

Resilience is characterized by ‘the ability to bounce back from challenge and adversity’. However, being Adolescent Living with HIV (ALHIV) give larger challenges on an individual throughout their life because of their characteristic and illness. After all, positive results such as resilience are also feasible, yet knowledge on resilience in ALHIV remains limited and resilience assessment methods continue to be debated and need further clarification of the concept of resilience is needed about this population. In recent years, empirical research on resilience has grown, criticism have been mostly concentrates on ambiguity definition and implications. This concept analysis aims to identify the concept of the resilience ALHIV by identifying the attributes that determine the concept, antecedents and consequences. This study tries to discover the traits that determine the concept of resilience in ALHIV using Walker and Avant’s approach, with searches performed in the CINAHL, PubMed, Science Direct and PsycInfo. The results of the analysis reveal the resilience antecedents of ALHIV such as coping strategy, illness acceptance, positive adaptation, self-efficacy, positive future expectation, emotional regulation, family support, school connectedness and healthcare support. The consequences of the concept of resilience in ALHIV include positive outcomes include improved adherence to treatment, psychological well-being, positive coping strategy, better school performance and positive social relationship.

Abstract

Determining the cause of death (CoD) is crucial for effective health policy and decision-making, particularly in population health programs. The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the Verbal Autopsy (VA) tool to ascertain CoD through verbal information, particularly in countries lacking comprehensive vital registration systems. In Indonesia, the health landscape is shifting from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), highlighting the need for updated mortality surveillance. This study aimed to determine the major causes of death among adult mortality in Sleman Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) Indonesia. A demographic surveillance system was employed to monitor vital events, including mortality, with verbal autopsy interviews conducted for each death. A total of 279 adult deaths (ages 15 years and older) from the first two cycles of surveillance were analyzed. Trained enumerators conducted verbal autopsy interviews with informants close to the deceased. The InterVA program was used to process the verbal autopsy data, identifying the CoD for 274 adult deaths. Descriptive analysis was performed to determine the proportion of each cause of death, and Chi-square tests were used to assess differences in proportions. The findings revealed that 68.2% (95% CI: 62.38–73.72) of deaths were due to NCDs, including stroke, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, and chronic liver disease. Infectious diseases accounted for 24.8% (95% CI: 19.82–30.37), while injuries (primarily accidents) contributed to 6.6% (95% CI: 3.94–10.18). Stroke was the leading cause of death, particularly in individuals aged 50–64 years (21.2%, 95% CI: 16.48–26.49), followed by acute respiratory infections, including pneumonia (10.6%, 95% CI: 7.2–14.85). The study concluded that NCDs, particularly stroke, are the leading causes of adult mortality in Sleman HDSS, with significant contributions from acute respiratory infections and injuries. It is recommended for future research to further develop Verbal Autopsy technology, such as AI-based applications that can improve the accuracy of determining the cause of death.

Abstract

Family latrines, crucial for sanitation, impact community health. In 2019, Banten had 70.5% latrine use, below the national 72.3%. Poor sanitation causes diseases like helminthiasis, affecting many, especially children. This study aims to determine the relationship between the quality of family latrines and the incidence of helminthiasis in the Mekarsari Health Center area of Lebak Regency. The study used a cross-sectional design. The population included all families with goose-neck latrines in the Mekarsari Health Center area, with a sample size of 88 families. Data analysis was conducted in stages using the chi-square test at an alpha level of 0.05. The results showed that nearly all respondents (93.2%) were male, 96.6% were of productive age, most had low education levels (67%), and nearly all were non-civil servants (97.7%). The majority (73.9%) had a monthly income below the Lebak Regency minimum wage (< Rp 2,944,665). There were still 17% of families with low-quality latrines, and 9.1% of family members suffered from or were infected with helminthiasis (Ancylostoma duodenale). The relationship test results showed a significant relationship between latrine quality and helminthiasis incidence, with a p-value of 0.000 (p<α). The OR value was 63,000, meaning that families with low-quality latrines were 63 times more likely to suffer from or be infected with helminthiasis compared to families with high-quality latrines. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between the quality of latrines and the incidence of helminthiasis in the Mekarsari Health Centre Area, Lebak Regency. Serious efforts are needed to empower families through health education and assistance to encourage them to improve, construct, and maintain quality latrines to prevent helminthiasis infections.

Abstract

The behavior of hypertension self-care management in the elderly is very important to be applied to reduce the prevalence of hypertension in rural areas. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with hypertension self-care management behavior in the elderly in rural areas based on the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). The research design uses analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was 150 elderly people with hypertension who lived in rural areas. The independent variables are perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived reward, response efficacy, self-efficacy, and intention. The dependent variable is hypertension self-care management behavior. Data collection uses the PMT and HSMBQ questionnaires. Bivariate analysis used the Spearman correlation test and multivariate analysis used linear regression with a significance level = 0.05. Bivariate test results found that perceived vulnerability (r=0.615 and p<0.05), perceived severity (r=0.497 and p<0.05), perceived reward (r=0.598 and p<0.05), efficacy response (r=0.510 and p<0.05), self-efficacy (r=0.477 and p<0.05), and intention (r=0.513 and p<0.05) related to hypertension self-care management behavior. Multivariate test results found that the PMT model associated with hypertension self-care management behavior includes perceived vulnerability (p<0.05), perceived severity (p<0.05), perceived reward (p<0.05), and self-efficacy (p<0.05). The value of R square = 0.519 indicates that the PMT model can predict 51.9% of self-care behavior. The dominant factor that can increase hypertension self-care management behavior is the perception of vulnerability. Nurses should be able to provide health education to improve hypertension self-care management behavior.
