Abstract

Hearing loss in children may cause social isolation and poor communication skills, potentially affecting mental disorders and quality of life. Hearing aids (HA) provide auditory stimuli that can improve children's speech ability and influence their quality of life. A cross-sectional study in three special schools-B (SLB-B) in Semarang was carried out. A total of 82 children (7-12 years old) with severe hearing loss with or without hearing aids were included. Quality of life was assessed by the Hearing Environments and Reflection on Quality of Life (HEAR-QL) questionnaire. The results showed that 48 (58.54%) subjects used hearing aids, and 34 (41.46%) did not use hearing aids. The average subject's age was 10.77±1.56 years old. Hearing-aid use was associated with a good quality of life of children with hearing loss (p0.001). Good quality of life was found in 68.8% of children with hearing aids compared to only 2.9% in children without hearing aids. Duration of hearing-aid use (p0.001), mother education (p0.006) was associated with good quality of life of children, whereas gender (p=0.49), number of siblings (p=0.06), and socioeconomic status (p=0.63) were not. The quality of life of children who use hearing aids is better than without hearing aids.

Abstract

DHF cases tend to increase from year to year in Indonesia. So the government makes efforts to control cases of Dengue Fever (DHF) which are usually done chemically and harm the environment and health. There is a need for safer, more effective, and environmentally friendly controls, such as using natural ingredients as natural larvicides. Among the natural ingredients having potential as a larvicide is Bintaro leaves (Cerbera manghas). The purpose of this study was to determine the toxicity of Bintaro leaf extract against third instar larvae of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. This experimental study used 7 treatments of Bintaro leaf extract concentration (5 %, 15 %, 25 %, 35 %, 45 %, 65 %, 75 %), abate as a positive control, and distilled water as a negative control. Each treatment used ten instar III Aedes aegypti larvae with four repetitions. The data obtained were then analyzed using probit analysis to determine the toxicity of Bintaro leaf extract to Aedes aegypti larvae by calculating the LC50 and LC90 values. The results showed that the most effective concentration was 75 % because it could kill 100% of the test larvae. The LC50 value of 5,097 % and the LC90 value of 25,300 % indicate that the level of toxicity is very toxic. The probit regression analysis shows a linearity line equation y = 1.15 + 1.43x with a correlation (R2) of 0.512 which indicates that the correlation is strong enough. It is related to the content of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids which are toxic to the abdomen, nervous system, and respiratory system of larvae. From the research results, Bintaro extract with a concentration of 75 % can be used as a natural larvicide candidate. Furthermore, further research to see the toxicity to the environment can be done.are toxic to the abdomen, nervous system, and respiratory system of larvae. From the research results, Bintaro extract with a concentration of 75 % can be used as a natural larvicide candidate. Furthermore, further research to see the toxicity to the environment can be done.

Abstract

The presence of National Health Insurance at the same time with the implementation of regional autonomy affects the implementation of many other policies, including population control. Different understanding and commitment of implementors resulted in mixed results, with unsuccessful trends of implementing population control policy in the frame of National Health Insurance. Cimahi as the most populous city in West Java needs to implement the policies effectively to prevent negative impact of overpopulation. An analysis needs to be conducted to assess the implementation of the policies in Cimahi. The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of population control policy within the framework of National Health Insurance. This research was conducted in Cimahi and used qualitative design with case study approach. Data collected through in-depth interview and questionnaires to the implementors of the policies. Data analyzed with the concept of Edwards III and Analysis Hierarchy Process. The results showed that the policies implemented facing difficulties, with National Health Insurance not necessarily encouraging population control through the use of contraceptive. It is suggested that Cimahi City Government improve policies implementation by integrating mutually supportive policies, communicating and disseminating, increasing resources, and increasing cooperation between institutions.

Abstract

Speech and language delay are usually found in various disorders such as mental retardation, hearing impairment, psychosocial, autism, receptive aphasia and cerebral palsy and speech organ disorders. Retrospective research at Dr. Kariadi Hospital found that children aged 13 months to 60 months with complaints of speech problems that were subjected to an objective audiometric examination showed that 79.1% had hearing loss. This research aims to determine the relationship of risk factors with speech and language delays in children. This research was conducted in April 2020 using the cross-sectional with suspicion of late speaking who were examined by Brain evoked response audiometry (BERA) at Dr Kariadi Hospital Semarang. Researchers assessed the delay with the Languange evaluation Scale Trivandum (LEST) questionnaire. Researchers analyzed the data with chi-square test, fisher’s exact. The sample was 80 patients with the mean age was 22.35 months. Mostly in men (67.5%). The most common risk factor was hearing impairment. Hearing impairmentwas associated with speech and language delay. Economic status and bilingual were not associated with speech and language delay in children.

Abstract

Newborn mortality is still quite high in the world, including Indonesia, one of which is caused by complications of premature birth. Kangaroo Method Care (KMC) is one way to keep the newborn’s body temperature warm by making direct contact between the baby’s skin and the mother’s skin. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practice of Kangaroo Care Method for mothers with low birth weight (LBW) infants. This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. Respondents in this study were mothers who had LBW after treatment from the Regional General Hospital (RSUD) Koja, North Jakarta who were domiciled in Koja, Tanjung Priok, and Cilincing Districts, North Jakarta, amounting to 50 people. Data was collected using questionnaires and observations, and analyzed using the Spearman Correlation statistical test. Based on the results of the study, the average score of mother’s knowledge about Kangaroo Care Method was 21.76 (SD 1.06); the average score of the mother’s attitude towards the Kangaroo Care Method is 26.74 (SD 0.80); and the average duration of practice for Kangaroo Care Method is 2.92 hours/day (SD 0.90). Based on the results of observations, it was found that most of the LBW mothers had practiced Kangaroo Method Care by holding the right position from Kangaroo Method Care. Based on the Spearman Correlation statistical test, it was found that there was a relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practice of the Kangaroo Care Method in LBW mothers.

Abstract

Decreased lung function is at risk for COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Risk identification is a strategy to improve the quality of self-management, through the identification of risk factors and early symptoms of COPD. This study aims to determine the relationship between risk factors and early symptoms of COPD in builders related to pulmonary function disorders. The design of this study was case control in Rungkut District, Surabaya in September-December 2018. The research variables were lung function disorders, risk factors and early symptoms of COPD, with ordinal data scale and chi-square test analysis. This study involved 158 respondents consisting of 79 respondents with lung function disorders and 79 respondents with no lung function disorders. The highest total risk factor for COPD in both groups was smoking, and there was no significant difference (P = 0.75) on the early symptoms of COPD in the pulmonary dysfunction group and in the group with no lung function disorders. The highest total initial symptoms of COPD in both groups were chronic cough and sputum hypersecretion. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P = 1.00). There was no relationship between COPD risk factors and early symptoms of COPD in the pulmonary dysfunction group and the no lung function group.

Abstract

Birth rate or fertility is one of the elements playing a role in determining the population number and age structure in an area. To maintain stable population growth, it is necessary to strive for a total fertility rate (TFR) of around 2.1 children per woman. DKI Jakarta Province had reached this condition before the 2000 period. But in the next period, there was an increase ranging from 2.2 - 2.3 children per woman. Fertility is affected by various factors, including marriage patterns and contraception usage. This study aims to determine the effect of marriage patterns on fertility in DKI Jakarta Province by using the concept of fertility decomposition. The data used are the results of the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2002/03 and 2017 with the unit of analysis for women aged 15-49 years. The results showed that there was a slight increase in the effect of the marriage pattern on fertility restrictions, from 14% or preventing 1.89 births in the 2002/03 IDHS to 19% or preventing the occurrence of 2.1 births in the 2017 IDHS. in DKI Jakarta Province by 2.2 children per woman in the 2017 IDHS, although there was a sharp decline in the effect of contraceptive use. It is necessary to study the relationship between the pattern of marriage and the use of contraception because these two variables play an important role in determining the fertility rate in DKI Jakarta Province.

Abstract

Fulfilling energy and nutritional intake that is not in accordance with dietary recommendations and nutritional guidelines will affect the quality of athlete’s diet. Preliminary study results that an average of athlete’s energy consumption only 74% of the recommended energy requirement and 8% athletes are undernutrition. This study aims to evaluate the quality of the diet and sufficiency of energy and nutrition and to determine the relationship with the nutritional status of young male athletes. This study was conducted in 2019. Kind of this study is observational analytic, which using a cross sectional design to 85 young male athletes of the Central Java Student Sports Education and Training Center from 9 kind of sports (takraw, weightlifting, swimming, fencing, basketball, rowing, volleyball, soccer, and athletics). The subjects were measured of their weight, height, fat mass, and waist circumference and then determined their nutritional status (BMI age, body fat percentage, and height ratio). Energy and nutritional sufficiency were obtained by interview using the Semi-Quantitative FFQ, and data of food quality were obtained by using the Diet Quality Indexs International (DQI-I) questionnaire. Data analysis used the Spearman Rank Test with a significance level (α) 0.05 and a confidence level of 95% CI. The results showed that the quality of the foods (p = 0.144; 0362; and 0296), as well as the sufficient energy and nutrients (p = 0.143; 0410; 0608; 0153; 0735; 0836; 0222; 0533; 0326; 0553; 0392; and 0308 ) but they were not related to nutritional status (BMI age, body fat percentage, and WtHR). It was concluded that the quality of the diet was related to energy and nutritional sufficiency, but both of them do not show a significant relationship with the nutritional status of young male athletes of Province of Central Java.
