Abstract

Prolonged sitting duration and non-ergonomic learning postures are major risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders among adolescents. High school students spend most of their time sitting during academic activities, gadget use, or independent study. These habits may result in physical complaints such as neck, back, and shoulder pain. This study aimed to examine the association between sitting duration and learning posture with musculoskeletal complaints among high school students. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. The sample consisted of 120 students selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and posture observation sheets. Data analysis was conducted using the Kruskal–Wallis test with a significance level of 0.05. The findings revealed that the majority of students who spent more than 6 hours per day sitting with a slouched posture reported moderate to severe musculoskeletal complaints, particularly in the neck (68%), upper back (61%), and shoulders (54%). Statistical analysis showed a significant association between sitting duration and learning posture with the severity of musculoskeletal complaints (p = 0.041). In conclusion, there is a significant association between sitting duration and learning posture with musculoskeletal complaints among high school students. Ergonomic education and light physical interventions should be implemented in schools to prevent musculoskeletal disorders from an early age.

Abstract

The common bacteria that causes diarrhea is Escherichia coli. Therapy for Escherichia coli bacterial infection uses antibiotics but the use of antibiotics that are relatively high can cause resistance, so alternative medicines are needed using herbal medicinal plants. Based on the studies, one of the plants that can be used as an antibacterial is the porang plant (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) which is a type of plant that has potential both technologically and commercially in terms of medical, industrial and food. This study aims to determine the content of secondary metabolites and antibacterial activity contained in porang leaf extract (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) with 96% ethanol, ethyl acetate and n-hexane as solvents. In the antibacterial activity test using the disc diffusion method with NA media (Nutrient Agar), ciprofloxacin as a positive control, 10% DMSO as a negative control and various concentrations of 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60%. The three porang leaf extracts can produce the greatest antibacterial activity at a concentration of 60%. Antibacterial activity in the ethanol extract of porang leaves had an average inhibition zone of 1.32 ± 0.59 mm, in the ethyl acetate extract of porang leaves it had an average inhibition zone of 0.73 ± 0.10 mm, and in the n-hexane extract of porang leaves it had an average resistance zone of 0.34 ± 0.39 mm. The results of this study concluded that the three porang leaf extracts with 3 solvents had antibacterial activity but the inhibition zone formed was in the weak category.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the differences in sleep quality among conventional cigarette smokers, electronic cigarette users, and non-smokers among male university students in Serang. Sleep quality is a crucial component for maintaining physical and mental health, yet smoking—whether conventional or electronic—can disrupt the sleep cycle due to the stimulant effects of nicotine. The study employed a cross-sectional design with stratified random sampling to select active male university students in the Serang area. Sleep quality was measured using the standardized Indonesian version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test to determine significant differences between the groups. Results showed that the majority of conventional cigarette smokers (63%) and electronic cigarette users (56%) experienced poor sleep quality (PSQI score > 5), while most non-smokers had good sleep quality (PSQI score ≤ 5). Statistical significance indicated a meaningful difference across the three groups with a p-value of 0.042. The impaired sleep quality is attributed to the stimulant effects of nicotine on the central nervous system, which disrupt normal sleep processes. Additionally, academic stress and unhealthy lifestyle factors exacerbated poor sleep quality among smokers. The study concludes that smoking—both conventional and electronic—has a significant negative impact on the sleep quality of male university students in Serang. Therefore, it is recommended that educational institutions implement educational programs on smoking hazards and provide support to foster healthy habits to improve sleep quality and overall student health.

Abstract

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a common anxiety disorder characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worry in daily life. This condition is very common among adult patients who are about to undergo surgery. Anxiety that arises before surgery, or preoperative anxiety, can trigger excessive physiological responses such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and hormonal stress, which can potentially negatively affect surgical outcomes and the postoperative recovery process. Therefore, effective interventions to reduce this anxiety are an important aspect of healthcare, especially in relation to the patient's mental preparedness before surgical procedures. One widely used and proven effective psychological intervention method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a therapeutic approach that focuses on changing maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors underlying anxiety disorders. CBT in a group format not only provides therapeutic benefits but also offers the advantages of resource efficiency and social support among participants, making it highly suitable for implementation in hospital and healthcare settings. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of group CBT in reducing anxiety symptoms in adult preoperative patients and to explore the underlying mechanisms of the intervention's success. Through a narrative review of various studies, it is hoped that the extent to which group CBT has a positive effect on patients' psychological readiness before surgery can be determined. Methods: This study used a narrative review method by collecting and evaluating relevant current literature in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The main focus is on studies that use the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) method to assess the effectiveness of group CBT in a population of adult preoperative patients. In this study, six RCT journals with a sample size of 70 to 100 participants per study were critically analyzed to draw comprehensive conclusions. Method: The study used a narrative review method by collecting and evaluating relevant current literature in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases.

In this review, six RCT journals with a sample size of 70 to 100 participants per study were critically analyzed to draw comprehensive conclusions. Results: Findings from the studies reviewed showed that the application of CBT in a group format significantly reduced anxiety levels in preoperative patients compared to control groups that did not receive intervention or only received standard care. In addition, several studies indicate that the effectiveness of group CBT is almost comparable to individual CBT, providing a more practical and resource-efficient treatment alternative. The combination of CBT with pharmacotherapy was also found to be superior in reducing anxiety compared to using pharmacology alone, confirming the benefits of a multimodal approach in the treatment of preoperative GAD. Conclusion: CBT in a group format has been proven to be an effective intervention for reducing preoperative anxiety, primarily through cognitive restructuring, i.e., changing negative thought patterns to more realistic and adaptive ones, as well as social support gained from group interaction. Therefore, the implementation of group CBT is highly recommended in healthcare services as a strategy to enhance patients' mental preparedness, improve perioperative experiences, and enhance post-operative clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Recovery time after general anesthesia is a crucial factor in the postoperative recovery of neurosurgical patients. Delayed recovery time increases the risk of complications such as airway obstruction, hypoxemia, and aspiration. Several factors can influence recovery time, including duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, and the type of anesthetic used This study aims to analyze the factors associated with recovery time after general anesthesia in neurosurgical patients at Dr. Mohamad Soewandhie General Hospital, Surabaya. This research employs an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consists of 30 patients undergoing neurosurgery with general anesthesia. Data collection was conducted through direct observation and documentation review of patient medical records. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s test and multiple linear regression to determine the most significant factors affecting recovery time. The study results indicate that duration of surgery and intraoperative blood loss significantly correlate with delayed recovery time (p=0.016 and p=0.035). Patients who underwent surgeries lasting more than four hours and experienced blood loss exceeding 1000 ml required more time to regain full consciousness compared to other groups. Conclusion: Duration of surgery is the most significant factor influencing recovery time after general anesthesia in neurosurgery. Therefore, careful monitoring of surgical duration and intraoperative blood loss is necessary to minimize delayed recovery risks.
