Abstract

Cooking oil is a commonly used food product in daily life, both in households and commercially, especially for frying purposes. The repeated use of cooking oil can lead to an increase in peroxide value, which may pose health risks. High peroxide values are carcinogenic and can trigger various health problems, such as elevated cholesterol levels and heart disease. One method to reduce peroxide value is by using activated carbon, such as activated carbon derived from coconut shells. This study aims to analyze the effect of contact time variations of activated carbon from coconut shells on the reduction of peroxide value in used cooking oil. The research design used was a quasi-experiment with an iodometric testing method. A total of 24 samples of used cooking oil were treated with activated carbon from coconut shells for different contact times: 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and 40 minutes. The peroxide value was then measured. The results showed that varying the contact time with activated carbon from coconut shells resulted in the following average peroxide values: 15.57 meq O2/kg, 7.57 meq O2/kg, 6.58 meq O2/kg, and 5.82 meq O2/kg. The percentage reduction in peroxide value was 0%, 51.41%, 57.06%, and 62.64%, respectively. In conclusion, the study found a significant effect of contact time variations of activated carbon from coconut shells on the reduction of peroxide value in used cooking oil, with a probability value of 0.000 < 0.05.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy remains a significant global health concern, affecting a substantial portion of the worldwide population. The prevalence of anemia is particularly high among pregnant women, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Anemia during pregnancy can lead to severe complications for both mother and fetus, including increased mortality risk, premature birth, low birth weight, and cognitive impairment. Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors contributing to anemia, specifically examining food intake and pregnancy characteristics. A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to September 2023 at Parung Panjang Health Center, Bogor Regency, involving 135 pregnant women. Data collection included hemoglobin measurements using an easy touch device and nutritional intake assessment through SQ-FFQ interviews. Analysis was performed using SPSS version 23 with chi-square testing. The study revealed significant correlations between parity, intake of calcium, and vitamin C with anemia status (p<0.05). Most participants were in their third trimester, predominantly unemployed, and had low education levels. There was no significant association between nutrition status, age, family income and infection story with anemia status (p>0.05). While the majority of women had adequate iron intake, no significant association was found between iron intake and anemia status (p>0.05). The study identified parity, intake of calcium, and vitamin C as significant factors associated with anemia in pregnant women. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive nutritional support and monitoring during pregnancy, particularly focusing on adequate micronutrient intake and considering parity status in anemia prevention strategies.

Abstract

Excessive interdialytic weight gain in End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients may reduce their quality of life well-being. High self-efficacy (belief in one's own ability) can increase the patient's readiness to live a better quality of life. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and self-efficacy relate to each other in patients with end-stage renal disease. This study uses a correlational quantitative design type with a cross-sectional method approach. The sampling method used purposive sampling with a total of 107 respondents. Univariate data analysis test to determine the characteristics of respondents. The Spearman Rank correlation test is used in bivariate analysis to determine the relationship between two variables, while the cross sectional design is to analyze the relationship between variables that have been collected at one time simultaneously. The results of this study were 69 patients (64.5%) had low self-efficacy and a moderate IDWG category of 56 patients (52.3%). The Rank-Spearman test results obtained a p-value of 0.000 and a positive Spearman correlation value (r) of 0.565. The conclusion that can be drawn is that there is a strong and significant relationship between self-efficacy and IDWG in patients with end stage renal disease. The suggestion from this study is that hospital managers consider making policies related to the service and care of ESRD patients by providing regular education related to fluid restriction compliance by applying media in the form of educational videos or leaflets or posters in the waiting room.

Abstract

Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) is a communication tool used to convey information clearly and in a structured manner, especially in the context of health services. The implementation of this assesment scale consideration has not been carried out optimally for nurses in the hospital. This study aims to analyze the validity and reliability of the SBAR-based weighing evaluation instrument from primary nurses and associate nurses. Multivariate validity and reliability test using the Exploratory Factors Analysis (EFA) test. The results aim to validate the instrument content. The numbers in the table show the loading factor values for each statement item which have been sorted from the largest value to the smallest value for each component. Statement items are valid and have an important correlation in the handover implementation instrument if they have a factor loading value of <0.40. Of the 25 statement items, 8 items were invalid, namely item numbers 2,3,4,6,10,12,17,19 while the other 17 items were declared valid and formed 4 components (Component 1; Situation indicator, Component 2; Backgound indicator, Component 3; Assessment indicator, Component 4; Assesment) which were used as indicators for compiling the SBAR-based handover implementation instrument. CFA test results were the relative chi-square value (CMIN/df) shows a fairly good fit with a ratio <5, the comparative fit index (CFI) value indicates marginal fit because it is in the range 0.80<CFI <0.90, The root mean square error (RMSEA) value indicates a reasonable agreement with a value of <0.08, the goodness-of-fit (GoF) value indicates a good fit because it is >0.80. It can be interpreted that based on the results of the CFA analysis it has fulfilled the construct feasibility test so that in general it can be said that the handover evaluation instrument by primary nurses and associate nurses is fit to be used in measuring handover implementation.

Abstract

Recently, women are increasingly using whitening cosmetics to beautify their skin. However, they are not aware that whitening cosmetics contain mercury. Several studies have reported high levels of mercury in skin whitening creams. Women, especially pregnant and lactating mothers, who use these creams are at risk of mercury poisoning because long-term exposure can cause permanent nerve damage, kidney disorders, fertility problems, and congenital disabilities.  This study aimed to analyze mercury exposure in pregnant women using whitening cosmetics and potential health risks. This research method is an observational analytic, cross-sectional design. The instrument is a questionnaire. Sampling was carried out at Khadijah 1 Hospital, Makassar City. The sample in this study consisted of 20 pregnant women who used whitening cosmetics, 20 who did not use whitening cosmetics and 20 samples of whitening cosmetics used by pregnant women. The cosmetic samples analyzed were the concentration of mercury contained in the cosmetics. Mercury testing was conducted at The Indonesian Institute for Public Health Laboratories, Makassar (BBLK). Data analysis using SPSS software. This result study showed that 20 cosmetics used by pregnant women were detected with mercury. The highest mercury concentration was 86.1 ppm, and the lowest was 3.5 ppm. Those registered with the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) were 11 cosmetics, and 9 were not registered with BPOM. Statistical analysis shows a correlation between the frequency, duration, and volume of cosmetic use and mercury concentration in pregnant women's hair, namely 0.008, 0.017, and 0.032, respectively. The potential health risks experienced by pregnant women who use cosmetic whitening creams are anemia of as much as 55%, the fetus not actively moving as much as 15%, and the weight of the fetus not increasing as much as 30%. The statistical analysis of the relationship between mercury exposure and potential health risk experienced by pregnant women, with a p-value of 0.039 < p-value of 0.05. The use of whitening cosmetics in pregnant women can have an impact on the fetus in the womb. Therefore, pregnant women should not use cosmetics containing mercury during pregnancy and should increase their knowledge about the contents of cosmetics.

Abstract

The productive-age population in urban areas is susceptible to diabetes, often without awareness of their pre-diabetic condition. This study examines the various roles in pre-diabetes preventive behavior among the productive-age group in urban communities. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 363 respondents aged 20-69 years, selected through simple random sampling. The variables investigated include mindset, motivation, health literacy, social support, family support, and exposure to health information, all of which play significant leveraging roles in pre-diabetes preventive behavior. Path-based multivariate regression analysis was used to explore the direct and indirect influences among these variables. Health literacy was found to play a significant role in shaping mindset, which subsequently contributes to pre-diabetes preventive behavior, as demonstrated by family support (β = 0.010; p = 0.013). Social support (β = 0.051; p = 0.006) and motivation (β = 0.059; p = 0.005) also proved to have a meaningful impact. This study concluded that prevention of the high risk of pre-diabetes in the productive-age group, interventions should focus on improving health literacy, strengthening social and family support, and fostering motivation. The findings highlight the critical need for targeted health education and community-based support systems to address the growing risk of diabetes among urban populations, particularly those in the productive age group who may be unaware of their pre-diabetic status.

Abstract

National tuberculosis control continues to be carried out by intensification, acceleration, extensification and program innovation. One of the efforts with an effective Directly observed treatment shortcourse (DOTS) strategy. The main focus of this strategy is the discovery and cure of patients and breaking the chain of Tuberculosis transmission so as to reduce the incidence and increase Tuberculosis cure in the community. This research aimed to assess the efficacy of Drug Supervisors in reducing transmission and ensuring adherence to Tuberculosis medication throughout treatment. The study used a quasi-experimental design using a pre-posttest framework, comprising an intervention group of 14 participants and a control group of 14 participants. The group of subjects was observed before the intervention, namely direct supervision of taking medication (PMO) through the DOTS strategy by family/relatives/caregivers/officers on TB patients during the treatment period and observed again after the intervention. The sample was selected based on sub-district sample clusters using proportional allocation techniques. Bivariate analysis applied independent t test and mann whitney test (value α = 0.05) because the distribution of the data obtained was not normal. This research revealed that patients receiving intervention in the form of drug monitoring by PMO experienced an increase in TB transmission prevention measures higher than the control group, thus compliance in taking medication was higher in the case group compared to the control group (p 0.01). This indicates that a PMO is essential for every patient receiving Tuberculosis therapy to prevent lack of follow-up and mitigate the influence on the onset of TB-MDR.

Abstract

Reproductive health, including miscarriages and abortions, remains a critical public health issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries such as Kyrgyzstan, where access to quality health services is limited, particularly in rural areas. Unsafe abortions contribute significantly to maternal morbidity and mortality, while miscarriages can have physical, emotional, and social consequences for women. This study aims to explore factors associated with miscarriages and abortions among women of reproductive age in Kyrgyzstan. This study used secondary data from Kyrgyzstan’s Multiple Indicator Survey (MICS) 2023, which provides comprehensive data on health, education, and living conditions. The survey focused on women aged 15–49 who had experienced miscarriage or abortion, analyzing factors such as age, marital status, education, and wealth index. Data analysis was performed using binary logistic regression with STATA software to identify demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with miscarriage and abortion. The finding of this study were 11.47% of women experienced miscarriage and 6.45% experienced abortion, with most participants aged 30-39, married, with a junior high school education, residing in rural areas, and belonging to the Kyrgyz ethnic group. Factors linked to miscarriage included age, marital status, rural residency, Russian ethnicity, and wealth level, while factors associated with abortion included age, marital status, rural residence, and certain wealth levels (second, middle, and fourth). The study suggests prioritizing reproductive health education and support for women, especially those in rural areas and with lower to middle income, to help reduce the risks of miscarriage and abortion.

Abstract

Cesarean delivery (C-section) rates continue to rise worldwide, with Thailand showing a significant spike in the past two decades, surpassing WHO recommended rates. Hospital characteristics, such as ownership, financial incentives, and medical staffing patterns, can influence cesarean delivery rates. Private hospitals may be more susceptible to non-medical motivations, while public hospitals often face high patient volumes and resource constraints. This study aimed to investigate the use of cesarean delivery in relation to hospital characteristics, with a comparative focus between public and private hospitals in Thailand. This study used a cross-sectional quantitative approach with secondary data from the Thailand Multi Indicator Survey (MICS) 2022. The study sample consisted of 1,046 women who delivered by cesarean section and 1,720 women who did not, with the dependent variable being hospital utilization by caesarean section delivery. Data analysis was performed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate (binary logistic regression) tests to analyze the effect of independent variables on the choice of hospital type. The study findings were that in women undergoing cesarean section, wealth and region of residence were significantly associated with private hospital utilization, with women from the fourth wealth quintile (OR = 14.61; 95% CI: 1.88–113.85) and the richest (OR = 23.67; 95% CI: 3.03–185.09) more likely to use private hospitals than the poorest, while those living outside Bangkok were less likely. In women without cesarean section, living in rural areas (OR = 0.36; 95% CI: 0.16–0.81) and outside Bangkok also significantly decreased the odds of private hospital utilization.
