Abstract

Background: The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in Indonesian society is poor. One solution is to give society a metronome called the Neo Automatic Code (NAC) to guide CPR when cardiac arrest patients are present. This study aims to analyze the effect of NAC on the compression depth and compression rate during CPR. Methods: A quick experimental study with a control group design, where the population is chosen by simple random sampling to distinguish between odd and even. The population is health cadres and youth with an age range of 16-56 years. The intervention group gets training 2 times to do CPR with Neo Automatic Code, and the control group gets training in CPR using standard procedure. We use a CPR manikin to measure variables. Data analyzed used Mann Whitney. Results: The Mann-Whitney test shows p = 0.001, concluding that there is a difference in the accuracy of depth and compression speed in CPR between the intervention and control groups. This means the NAC metronome can improve CPR performance in compression depth and compression rate. CPR uses a neo-automatic code metronome to ensure the user breathes regularly and helps the rescuer to constantly give compression. Conclusion: Neo automatic code can improve the quality of CPR in Indonesian society. A study about how many times training must be given to society, considering age, level of education, and kinds of jobs, is needed.

Abstract

Background: Ischaemic stroke patients experience an increase in cortisol of 38% over 90 days. The spiritual emotional freedom technique (SEFT) provides manual stimulation of acupuncture points, which makes the muscles feel relaxed so that they can control cortisol. This study set out to assess how SEFT affected the cortisol levels in patients who had suffered an ischaemic stroke. Methods: A control group and pre- and post-test measures were part of the quasi-experimental research design. There were seventy-one patients in the research population of the study. The sample was measured using the Slovin formula, and the sampling strategy used was purposeful sampling. Over the course of three months, the intervention group had 12 sessions of SEFT once a week, whereas the control group received regular spiritual treatment from RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta, an outpatient nurse. The ELISA method was used to measure cortisol levels. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess normality, and the Levene test was used to test for homogeneity in bivariate data. The Mann-Whitney method was used to analyze the data. Results: The mean cortisol before intervention was 119.63, and the mean cortisol after intervention was 99.23. SEFT affects cortisol levels in patients who have had an ischaemic stroke, according to a statistically significant (p<0.05) p-value of zero. Conclusion: Patients with ischaemic stroke experienced a significant drop in cortisol levels after using the SEFT. Furthermore, it is necessary to study the dominant factors that influence the cortisol hormone and the need for a multi-religious approach in an effort to develop spiritual-based interventions.

Abstract

Background: Unhygienic hands can cause microorganism infection. Citronella oil contains citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol, which have antibacterial activity. Liquid hand soap removes the dirt and microorganisms; however, it commonly uses sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) as a foaming agent that may irritate the skin. Lauryl glucoside is a non-ionic, non-irritating surfactant. This study aimed to formulate and characterise liquid hand soaps from citronella oil using a combination of SLS and lauryl glucoside as surfactants. Methods: The research was conducted using an experimental laboratory method. Three liquid hand soap formulas were developed from 15% citronella oil with different weight ratios of SLS and lauryl glucoside: F1 (1:2), F2 (1:1), and F3 (2:1). Then, all liquid hand soaps were evaluated for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, viscosity, pH, and foam height. Then the foam stability test was conducted after the formed foam was left for 5 minutes. Results: The results showed that all liquid hand soaps were homogeneously distributed, clear viscous liquids having a distinctive odour of citronella oil. The liquid hand soap preparations had a viscosity range of 549.7–565.8 cps, a pH in the range of 7.39–7.89, a foam height of 74–85 mm, and a stability foam of 63.52–68.91%. All formulas complied with SNI 2588:2017 criteria for liquid hand soap. Conclusion: This study presented that citronella oil could be formulated into liquid hand soap using a combination of SLS and lauryl glucoside. The optimal formula was F1 with a 1:2 ratio of SLS and lauryl glucoside. F1 had the most stable foam due to the higher concentration of lauryl glucoside, which enhances foam stability.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is the growth retardation that occurs in children as a result of chronic malnutrition, recurrent infections, and persistent psychological and social stress. 88 toddlers in Bengkulu City experienced stunting with a prevalence of 0.86%. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Audio Barcode Monitoring Book (Dicotobook) media on maternal behavior in the early detection of stunting. Methods: This study used a quasi-experiment design with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample in this study was breastfeeding mothers, totalling 30 people in the intervention group and 30 in the control group using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis in this study used the Wilcoxon signed rank test, the Mann-Whitney test, and the Analysis of Covariance test. Results: The statistical test results showed differences in mothers' average knowledge, attitudes, and actions before and after education using Dicotobook media (intervention group) (p-value 0.001) and leaflet (control group) (p-value 0.001). Education with Dicotobook media is more effective in increasing knowledge (p-value 0.004), attitudes (p-value 0.009), and actions (p-value 0.016) in the early detection of stunting risk after controlling for factors such as maternal education, maternal occupation, and distance to health facilities. Conclusion: Dicotobook media is a very suitable educational media that can motivate improvement in knowledge, attitudes, and actions in the early detection of stunting risk. This Dicotobook media can be used as an alternative to provide education to the public.

Abstract

Background: Currently, Indonesia is facing health problems suffered by children under five due to malnutrition or malnutrition which causes stunting. Based on data from the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), it shows that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia in 2023 will reach 21.5%. Health Promotion is considered a collaboration of educational and environmental support to create healthy living behavior for the entire community. The purpose of this literature review is to determine the Strategy and Role of Health Promotion in Stunting Prevention. Methods: In writing this literature review article, literature searches were conducted systematically using various scientific databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The keywords used were adjusted to the research topic, including stunting, health promotion, and prevention. Inclusion criteria included articles published within the last five years (2019-2024), written in English or Indonesian, and directly addressing the topic under review. At the beginning of the article search, the authors found 65 articles, then selected according to the criteria to 24 articles, then narrowed down to 5 articles. Results: Based on the results of several articles analyzed, show that preventive and promotive efforts are the right efforts to prevent stunting from 1000 HPK (First Day of Life). The health promotion strategy itself is divided into 3 aspects, including advocacy, social support, and community empowerment. Conclusion: Thus, it is hoped that preventive and promotive efforts will be intensified to reduce the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. The government supports this by launching the Healthy Indonesia Program which consists of 3 pillars, the healthy paradigm, strengthening health services, and National Health Insurance (JKN).

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy and childbirth cause physical changes in women, including pelvic floor muscle weakness and abdominal wall enlargement leading to the condition of Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA). Multiparous women are at higher risk of experiencing DRA due to repeated stretching of the abdominal wall. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining core activation with curl-up exercises in reducing the degree of DRA in multiparous women.  Methods: This study was conducted in Desa Homba Rande using a pretest-post test control group design. A total of 24 multiparous women were selected through purposive sampling and divided into two groups: intervention (n=12) and control (n=12). The intervention group received core activation and curl-up exercises three times a week for 12 weeks. Inter-recti distance was measured using a digital caliper before and after the intervention period. Data were analyzed using the Paired T-Test and Independent T-Test.  Results: All research samples were multiparous women aged 20-45 years, with controlled BMI, type of delivery, number of pregnancies, number of births, and physical activity score (IPAQ-SF). The paired t-test showed a p-value of 0.001 (p<0.05), indicating a significant improvement after intervention. The independent t-test showed a p-value of 0.002 (p<0.05), indicating a significant difference in post-test data between groups.    Conclusion: Core activation combined with curl-up exercises is effective in reducing DRA in multiparous women. These exercises are recommended as part of routine postpartum rehabilitation to improve core strength and function.

Abstract

Background: Complex vision problems experienced when using digital devices are called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). The use of digital devices at night affects the delay of the circadian phase and the suppression of melatonin as a sleep facilitator which causes changes in sleep quality and optimizes cognitive abilities. This study aims to determine the relationship between computer vision syndrome and student sleep quality. Methods: This research uses a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling used proportionate stratified random sampling technique with a total of 198 respondents. The incidence of CVS was measured by the Computer Vision Syndrome-Questionnaire (CVS-Q) and sleep quality by the PSQI (Pitssburgh Sleep Quality Index) questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was conducted with CVS as the independent variable and sleep quality as the dependent variable, using the continuity correction test. Results: The research results show that 80.8% of respondents experienced CVS-Positive and 80.8% of respondents experienced poor sleep quality. The statistical test results obtained p-value = <0.001 (< α 0.05) with an OR value of 71.25. Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that computer vision syndrome is related to student sleep quality, where positive computer vision syndrome has the potential to cause disruption to student sleep quality 71.25 compared to students who have negative CVS. Nursing students are advised to limit excessive use of digital devices and to adopt healthy habits in screen usage to prevent CVS, which can affect sleep quality.
