Abstract

ABSTRACT : It is known that medical waste has increased in recent years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which was followed by an increase in ash from burning medical waste processing using incinerators. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of using medical waste incineration ashes on health and the environment, as well as the potential for using solidification techniques to make the ash into paving blocks. The ash used was obtained from a medical waste processing facility in Surakarta, Indonesia's Central Java. The test object was created using seven different combinations of ash, sand, and cement with a water-cement ration of 0.5 and cured for 28 days. The optimum compressive strength condition was determined as the basis for the composition of medical waste incineration ash as a mixture of paving block raw materials, which was then tested for the content of heavy metal compounds using the SNI 8808: 2019 method. According to research, the ash from medical waste incineration contains heavy metal compounds such as Pb, Ni, Cu, and Cd and has the potential to be used as a mortar mixture. Six of the seven mortar compositions with the addition of incineration medical waste ash met the compressive strength requirements of SNI 03-0691-1996 for category D paving blocks to be used in parks and other places.

Abstract

Every year, adolescent pregnancy cases in Javanese society become challenging. Reproductive health education must be provided before the child enters puberty despite experiencing cultural barriers in its delivery. This study aims to explore children’s knowledge and attitudes about puberty and reproductive health to analyze the need for reproductive health education for children living in Javanese culture. This cross-sectional study sampled 174 children aged 9-11 years in the capital city of Central Java. Children in this study are female (54.6%) and male (45.4%), and 20.1% of them have already experienced puberty. As many as 48.9% of children have low knowledge, especially about puberty signs and menstruation. Most children have good attitudes about reproductive health, but 6.9% are permissive. There is no significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes (p-value=0.606). Puberty status is also unrelated to children’s knowledge (p-value=0.678) and attitudes (p-value=0.291). Permissive attitudes regarding adolescent pregnancy need to be highlighted. This is potentially harmful to children, especially if the child does not immediately engage in proper reproductive health education. The reproductive health educational model does not need to separate children’s classes based on their puberty status. The Ministry of Health and Education needs to improve children’s reproductive health knowledge by considering the character of Javanese society, which is still taboo.

Abstract

Blood sugar is a metabolic disorder disease that occurs due to insufficiency of insulin hormone production or due to insulin insensitivity resulting in typical clinical manifestations in the form of increased glucose levels in the blood (hyperglycemia). This study aims to determine the effect of Chinese ketepeng leaf decoction on blood glucose levels in hyperglycemic mice. This research was carried out in the Zoology laboratory, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Pattimura University, Ambon. This research is an experimental laboratory with a pre and post-test research design with a control group design. This study wanted to prove whether there was an effect of giving Chinese ketepeng leaf decoction to decreasing blood sugar levels in male Balb/C mice using Chinese ketepeng leaf decoction at a dose of 3.64 mg/kg, 7.28 mg/kg, 10.92 mg/kg. The results showed that the usage of Chinese ketepeng leaves (Cassia alata L) can reduce blood sugar levels in mice (Mus musculus). The most effective dose to lower blood sugar levels is a dose of 10.92 mg/kg BW.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an endemic disease that causes high morbidity and mortality rates. The prevalence of DHF in Indonesia (2018) reached 24.75 per 100,000, and in South Kalimantan (2019) was 56.83 per 100,000 population. One of the efforts to control dengue vectors is the use of larvicides. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of Srigading Plants (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis) as Aedes aegypti larvae as vectors of DHF in Wetlands. This study used a true experimental research design using the post-test-only controlled group design to determine the effectiveness of Srigading extract (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis) against the death of Aedes aegypti instar IV mosquito larvae. Based on the results, a significance value or p-value of 0.0001 0.05 was obtained. It indicated a significant difference between the number of mosquito larvae deaths and the concentration of Srigading extract given.

Abstract

Indonesia’s high Disaster Risk Index (DRI) encourages the government to pay extra attention to disaster management efforts. MISP must be available in health crises because the need for reproductive health services remains and increases during the disaster response period because 4% of the affected people are pregnant women, and 75% are women, adolescent girls, and children. Integrating MISP into the Sister Village program is very important as an effort to reduce the impact of disasters on reproductive health due to the disruption of health services. This research was carried out in 2022 to explore opportunities and obstacles to integrating MISP in the sibling village program. The research uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. Data collection used Focus Group Discussion techniques with 10 informants who were stakeholders related to the research topic. The research results show that in the integration of MISP and the Sister Village program, the role of each stakeholder is very important to achieve program objectives. Cooperation and coordination between stakeholders is the key to success. The integration of MISP in the Sister Village program can increase community participation in reproductive health services, strengthen the relationship between the health sector and the development sector, and improve public awareness of the importance of reproductive health. Limited accessibility and infrastructure in remote villages, stigma and cultural problems in village communities, lack of support and attention from the government and related parties, as well as security and conflict problems in several areas are obstacles to the integration of this program.

Abstract

One indicator of a nurse’s performance evaluation regarding implementing patient safety programs in hospitals is the risk of a patient falling. An audit of fall risk prevention at Siloam Hospitals in Surabaya was used to evaluate nurses’ performance in preventing patient falls. The impact of personality and situation awareness characteristics on the nurse’s output performance in preventing fall risk was examined. A cross-sectional research design was used in the observational analytic research method. Forty-five nurses made up the total sample. The EPPS and SEAFAP questionnaire were the instruments used in the data analysis, which applied the linear regression test. The following personal characteristics have a p-value of 0.05 or less: Order (p-value 0.016), Autonomy (p-value 0.019), Affiliate (p-value 0.012), Succorance (p-value 0.012), and Nurturance (p-value 0.009). With a p-value of 0.040, situation awareness impacts output performance. Both overall personality and situation awareness have a p-value of 0.006 and influence output performance, respectively. Situation awareness and personality-based needs have an impact on output performance. To provide specific solutions to improve the probability of patients falling, the recommendations for enhancing the fall risk prevention programs can be carried out through discussion and interviews.

Abstract

Posisi pronasi yang tepat terbukti dapat meningkatkan saturasi oksigen pada pasien dengan gangguan pernafasan, namun demikian masih muncul banyak kebingungan dikarenakan pengaturan posisi pronasi hanya dianjurkan dengan menggunakan penyangga bantal di beberapa titik tubuh pasien. Perbedaan ukuran bantal sangat dimungkinkan terjadi pada setiap pengaturan posisi di tempat yang berbeda, sehingga diperlukan alat pengatur posisi pronasi yang sudah presisi, aman, nyaman dan dapat langsung digunakan oleh pasien dengan keluhan sesak nafas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membuat dan mengembangkan prototipe “marning” (matras proning)  untuk mempermudah melakukan posisi pronasi  dalam upaya  meningkatkan saturasi Oksigen pada pasien dengan  keluhan sesak nafas.  Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan membuat Matras proning yang  didesain dengan mempertimbangkan bentuk anatomi dan ergonomi tubuh, sehingga sudah sangat presisi dalam meningkatkan saturasi oksigen. Uji presisi dan ergonomi tubuh untuk pembuatan dan penentuan ukuran  matras  dilakukan melalui  pengukuran terhadap 20 responden  dengan berbagai macam postur baik laki laki maupun perempuan. Pengukuran dilakukan  di laboratorium klinik fisioterapi. Setelah itu hasil prototipe matras diuji efektifitasnya pada pasien sesak nafas untuk melihat peningkatan saturasi oksigen sebelum dan sesudah menggunakan matras proning. Uji efektifitas dilakukan di Poli Infeksi Puskesmas pathuk 1 Gunungkidul Yogyakarta sebagai mitra pada penelitian ini.  Model teknologi ini sudah berhasil dibuat prototipenya dan telah diujicobakan pada 8 responden dengan keluhan sesak nafas, hasilnya terjadi peningkatan saturasi oksigen pada 80% pasien dengan keluhan sesak nafas  (saturasi dibawah 95%). Matras ini didesain untuk menggantikan penggunaan bantal pada pengaturan posisi proning yang umum. Desain marning yang mempertimbangkan bentuk anatomi dan ergonomi tubuh menghasilkan ukuran yang presisi sehingga mencegah bantal bergeser. Inovasi ini memungkinkan pasien melakukan posisi proning yang tepat, nyaman dan juga sangat efektif dan efisien karena dapat langsung digunakan secara mandiri, namun demikian alat yang dikembangkan perlu penyempurnaan pada riset berikutnya, untuk mendapatkan alat yang lebih ringan sehingga mudah untuk dipindahkan dan dibawa kemana saja.
