Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with increased blood glucose due to decreased insulin production or sensitivity. Chronic hyperglycemia can lead to endothelial dysfunction and vascular complications. Dexamethasone as a synthetic glucocorticoid can cause hyperglycemia through increased gluconeogenesis and insulin resistance. The antioxidant content in sea pandanus (Pandanus tectorius) has the potential to lower blood glucose levels. This study aims to determine the effect of ethanol extract of sea pandan fruit on blood glucose levels of male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by dexamethasone. This study aims to determine the effect of ethanol extract of sea pandan fruit (Pandanus tectorius) on blood glucose levels in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by dexamethasone. Experimental research with a post test only control group on 30 mice grouped into 3 groups. Namely, K(-) which was only given standard feed, K(+) which was induced by dexamethasone at a dose of 5 mg/KgBB, and KP which was induced by dexamethasone at a dose of 5 mg/KgBB and given Pandanus tectorius fruit extract at a dose of 100 mg/KgBB, then at the end of the study a blood sample was taken to measure blood glucose levels and then terminated. The sample was selected using simple random sampling technique. The data was analyzed using the One Way Anova test. In the results of the study, the average blood glucose level K(-) = 170.37 was obtained; K(+) = 274.62; KP = 243. In the One Way Anova parametric test, a significant result was obtained which was 0.005 (p<0.05). Then in the Post Hoc Games-Howell test, K(-) and K(+) had a significance of 0.001 (p<0.05), while the K(-) and KP groups as well as K(+) and KP showed no significant results. This suggests that ethanol extract of Pandanus tectorius fruit did not successfully inhibit the increase in blood glucose levels in dexamethasone-induced white rats. The administration of ethanol extract of Pandanus tectorius fruit as a therapy was able to reduce the blood glucose level of male Rattus norvegicus induced by dexamethasone compared to a K(+) positive control of 31.62 mg/dL (11.5%).

Abstract

Chronic energy deficiency is a nutritional problem that is still commonly experienced by pregnant women in developing countries. This condition occurs when energy and protein intake is not met over a long period of time. CED is usually identified through upper arm circumference (UAC) measurements, where a value of <23.5 cm or in the red area of the UAC tape indicates risk. This study aims to identify risk factors associated with the occurrence of CED in pregnant women. The method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional design. The study population consists of all pregnant women who underwent examinations at the Gambirsari Surakarta Community Health Center in August 2025, with a sample of 88 respondents determined through consecutive sampling. Data were obtained through questionnaires and interviews, with the validity of the knowledge questionnaire ranging from 0.341 to 0.664, thus declared valid (r ≥ 0.30) and reliability tested with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.885, indicating excellent reliability. In contrast, the GPAQ instrument had substantial reliability (Kappa 0.67–0.73) and acceptable criterion-related validity against accelerometer (r = 0.48). Based on the results, the majority of participants did not experience CED (61.4%), were aged 20–35 years (83%), had a parity of <2 (94.3%), were economically well-off (60.2%), had good knowledge (59.1%), and engaged in light physical activity (43.2%). The chi-square analysis drew a significant relationship among age and CED (p=0.001), parity (p=0.05), economic status (p=0.001), knowledge (p=0.001), and physical activity (p=0.001). The multivariate test results confirmed that knowledge (p=0.002, OR=1.066) and physical activity (p=0.005, OR=1.226) were the dominant factors. There was a significant relationship among age, parity, economic status, knowledge, and physical activity by CED in pregnant women. Multivariate analysis confirmed that knowledge and physical activity were the dominant factors influencing the incidence of CED.

Abstract

In the era of health transformation following the enactment of Law Number 17 of 2023, hospitals are faced with the significant challenge of integrating ethical standards and patient rights protection into real-world service practices. As a referral hospital with high patient dynamics, Al-Fatah Ambon General Hospital requires an internal evaluation mechanism to ensure that administrative policies are aligned with implementation in the field. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of the implementation of ethical standards and patient rights through a self-assessment method. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a thematic analysis design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five key informants: the Head of Personnel, personnel staff, HRD, Head of Training, and the Secretariat. Data collection used a semi-structured interview technique. Data were collected using a self-assessment instrument. The data analysis technique employed was thematic analysis, then compared and synchronised with the latest national regulations, particularly Law No. 17 of 2023. The study findings reveal a high level of compliance, with an average score exceeding 85%. Al-Fatah General Hospital achieved a perfect score (100%) in the aspects of complaint handling and understanding of managerial ethics. This success was driven by the transparency of its no-down-payment emergency financing policy and ethical leadership that prioritises patient safety over administrative procedures. Al-Fatah General Hospital Ambon has successfully internalised ethical standards and patient rights in accordance with the latest national regulations. A strong internal oversight system and a responsive complaint handling mechanism are key to maintaining service quality and public trust.

Abstract

The needs of families of patients treated in intensive care units with unstable conditions and uncertain lengths of stay often cause anxiety and increase the need for proximity, service assurance, support, information, dan comfort. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between hospital length of stay and family needs during intensive care. The method used was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling technique. The study population consisted of family members of critically ill patients at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital in Surakarta, with 100 participants. The tool used was the Indonesian version of the Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) questionnaire with a Cronbach's alpha score of 0.97. Data analysis was performed using Spearman's rank correlation test to examine the relationship between hospital length of stay and family needs. The results showed a significant relationship between hospital length of stay and family needs in the dimensions of proximity (p = 0.003), service assurance (p = 0.029), and total family needs score (p = 0.035). No significant relationship was found between hospital length of stay and family needs in the dimensions of family support (p = 0.171), information (p = 0.131), and comfort (p = 0.401).

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin disorder influenced by microbial imbalance, immune dysregulation, and excessive sebum production. Recently, probiotics have gained attention as a potential adjunct therapy due to their ability to regulate inflammation, improve skin barrier function, and modulate the gut–skin axis. This study aimed to evaluate the existing clinical evidence on the effectiveness of probiotics as a therapeutic approach for acne vulgaris. A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Electronic searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using the keywords “probiotics”, “acne vulgaris”, “microbiome”, “oral probiotics”, “topical probiotics”, and “clinical trial” for studies published between 2000 and 2024. A total of 319 records were identified. After screening and eligibility assessment, 4 clinical trials met the inclusion criteria. Data were extracted and synthesized using a narrative approach due to heterogeneity of probiotic strains, dosages, and outcome measures. Four clinical trials met the inclusion criteria, consisting of three oral probiotic studies and one topical formulation study. The results demonstrated that probiotics significantly reduced acne severity, lesion counts, and inflammation. Oral probiotics, such as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, and probiotic combinations with Arthrospira platensis improved skin hydration, modified sebum composition, and positively influenced skin microbiota. A topical Lactobacillus paracasei formulation showed comparable effectiveness to benzoyl peroxide in reducing inflammatory lesions, with fewer adverse effects. All probiotic treatments were well tolerated and associated with minimal side effects. Current evidence indicates that both oral and topical probiotics may serve as effective adjunct therapies for acne vulgaris by reducing inflammation, regulating the skin microbiome, and enhancing skin barrier function. However, variability in strains, treatment regimens, and study designs limits standardization. Larger, well-designed, strain-specific randomized trials are needed to determine optimal probiotic therapy for acne management.

Abstract

Genital health is a fundamental component of reproductive health and significantly influences physical, psychological, and social well-being. However, the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward genital health remains underexplored, particularly among male populations. The aim of the study was to examine the simultaneous relationship of knowledge and attitudes with behaviors in maintaining genital health among male. This cross-sectional analytical study involved 608 male respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to genital health. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize respondent characteristics, and associations between variables were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p < 0.05.  Most respondents demonstrated good knowledge (73.8%) and positive attitudes (88.8%) toward genital health. However, behavioral practice was divided between moderate (51.3%) and good (48.5%) categories. A significant association was observed between knowledge and behavior (p = 0.007) and between attitude and behavior (p = 0.001), indicating that higher knowledge and more positive attitudes were strongly associated with better genital health practices. Knowledge and attitudes are key determinants of genital health behavior. Interventions aimed at improving male genital health should integrate educational strategies that enhance knowledge while simultaneously fostering positive attitudes to achieve sustainable behavioral change.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA) are two conditions that frequently coexist and present significant challenges in both diagnosis and management. This review aims to describe the link between atopic dermatitis and food allergy, as well as their diagnosis, management, and prevention, especially in the Asian context. The findings indicate that impairment of the skin barrier and exposure to food allergens through the skin (epicutaneous sensitization) play central roles in the development of FA among individuals with AD. From a diagnostic perspective, it is essential to distinguish between food sensitization and clinically significant food allergy in order to avoid unnecessary elimination diets. Management strategies encompass comprehensive care for AD, including skin-barrier maintenance and anti-inflammatory therapy, alongside evaluation for FA when clinically indicated, and avoidance of confirmed trigger foods. Preventive efforts, particularly in high-risk infants, show promise through early skin-barrier care and controlled introduction of food allergens. In the Indonesian and broader Asian contexts, adaptation of these strategies should consider local dietary patterns and the availability of allergy and dermatology services.

Abstract

Occupational accidents in the coconut flour industry in Gorontalo Regency remain a serious threat to workers, with an increasing incidence rate and a high risk of causing permanent disability. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for work-related accidents leading to disability among workers in the coconut flour industry of Gorontalo Regency. This research is a qualitative study utilizing a case study approach. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. The informants consisted of workers with disabilities resulting from occupational accidents, the person in charge of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), and OHS practitioners. Data analysis was performed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results indicate that accidents leading to disability are dominated by the sheller unit. These incidents are triggered by the interaction between unsafe actions and unsafe conditions. Behavioral factors include low OHS knowledge, rushed work attitudes to meet production targets, and non-compliance with the use of standardized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These conditions are exacerbated by substandard physical work environments, characterized by high room temperatures (32.3°C–33.7°C) and dim lighting (132–176 Lux), which significantly reduce worker concentration. Furthermore, the suboptimal implementation of OHSMS policies and management supervision increases the risk of fatalities.

Abstract

Bullying does not only occur in public schools, but is also commonly found in Islamic boarding schools. Several studies indicate that 61–73% of students experience various forms of bullying, such as violence, extortion, intimidation, and theft. This study investigates the forms, risk factors, and prevention strategies of bullying in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Depok, West Java, Indonesia. A descriptive cross-sectional design was applied involving 51 santri aged 8–15 years from elementary to high school levels, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 30-item questionnaire documenting bullying experiences, with validity established through theory-based content development and face validity, covering verbal, physical, and sexual bullying perpetrated by peers, teachers, and parents. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and Mann–Whitney U tests were employed for analysis. Verbal bullying emerged as the most prevalent form, followed by physical and sexual bullying. Peers were reported more frequently as perpetrators than teachers or parents. A significant association was found between gender and specific types of bullying (p < 0.05). Younger students were significantly more exposed to verbal bullying (p < 0.05). The majority of victims were in early to middle adolescence, a developmental stage marked by heightened susceptibility to peer influence. Bullying remains a critical issue in pesantren settings, involving various perpetrators. Effective prevention should address age and gender differences and the distinctive social context of boarding schools. Enhancing awareness, supervision, and institutional policies is crucial to ensure a safe and supportive learning environment.

Abstract

Family medicinal plants (TOGA) are a form of traditional medicine that has long been used by Indonesians to maintain health, but the level of knowledge and attitudes of the community towards their use still varies. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes of the community regarding the use of TOGA as an effort to optimize public health in Catur Boyolali Village. This study used a correlative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 40 members of the Catur Village germas group, selected using total sampling technique. Data were collected through knowledge and attitude questionnaires, then analyzed using Spearman Rank correlation test. The research instruments demonstrated content validity based on validation conducted in previous studies. The questionnaires met reliability criteria and showed good measurement consistency based on previous studies. Most respondents had a good level of knowledge (60%) and a good attitude (52.5%). The Spearman Rank test results showed a p-value of 0.901 (>0.05), which means that there is no significant relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude of the community towards the use of TOGA. There was no relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude of the community in the use of TOGA. The attitude of the community was influenced by other factors such as culture, experience, beliefs, and social support. Culture-based education and sustainable health promotion are needed to optimize the use of TOGA.
