Abstract

Background: In 2021, Covid-19 cases in Indonesia decreased by 82% following the implementation of a mass vaccination program. The Covid-19 vaccine, which uses a weakened virus, helps prevent transmission, reduce morbidity and mortality, and increase immunity to the virus. This study analyzes the relationship between the level of knowledge and public perception of the Covid-19 vaccine. Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design. A purposive sampling technique was used, resulting in 154 respondents. Data were collected via an online questionnaire, and analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test.  Results: The Spearman Rank test revealed a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and public perception of the Covid-19 vaccine, with a p-value of 0.025 (p < 0.05).  Conclusion: Higher levels of public knowledge about Covid-19 are associated with more positive perceptions of the vaccine. Public education through reliable sources is essential to enhance understanding and encourage effective Covid-19 prevention practices.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhoea is pain felt before or during menstruation, characterised by abdominal cramps that can radiate to the back. Nonpharmacological interventions such as Benson relaxation and warm compresses are effective first aid to reduce dysmenorrhoea pain. This study aims to analyse the effect of a combination of Benson relaxation and warm compresses on reducing dysmenorrhoea pain in adolescents.  Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-posttest control group design. A total of 60 adolescents were selected through purposive sampling technique and divided into two groups: intervention group (n=30) who received combination therapy of Benson relaxation and warm compress, and control group (n=30) who only received warm compress. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and data were analysed using the Wilcoxon test.  Results: There was a decrease in pain levels in both groups after the intervention, with a more noticeable decrease in the intervention group (mean difference = 0.8) compared to the control group (mean difference = 0.4). However, the Wilcoxon test results showed a p value = 0.542 which means there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups.  Conclusions: Warm compress therapy or a combination of warm compress with Benson relaxation is equally effective in reducing dysmenorrhoea pain in adolescents. Both interventions can be applied as non-pharmacological interventions in the school environment as part of promotive and preventive efforts against dysmenorrhoea pain in adolescents.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 has become a global crisis that has created public health problems. The impact of COVID-19 infection primarily affects the respiratory tract. The most prominent impairments in COVID-19 infection include difficulty breathing and decreased blood oxygen saturation. This review aims to identify available literature related to the effects of proning techniques on improving respiratory rate and oxygenation (ROX) indices, namely SPO2 and PaO2/FiO2 fractions, in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19. Methods: A literature review design was employed. An online search strategy was conducted using major electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. This review design used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Guidelines. The literature sources reviewed ranged from 2020 to 2025. Ten articles met the criteria and were reviewed. Results: A total of 387 articles met the screening criteria: 159 articles were identified after screening for duplication, 25 articles met the criteria for full-text review and eligibility, and 15 articles were excluded due to study design and irrelevant results. Ten articles met the criteria and were reviewed. Conclusion: Proning is the use of a prone position that can improve the body's oxygenation adequacy index, both ROX with the SpO₂ indicator and the PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio, and these findings highlight the health practice that healthcare professionals play a key role in assessing oxygenation status, safely applying prone positioning, and closely monitoring patient responses to optimize respiratory outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Health care during the postpartum and breastfeeding periods fulfils the needs of the mother and baby. 'Jamu', or herbal medicine, is often used for this purpose, but there needs to be more evidence of its effectiveness. The public's insufficient understanding of herbal medicine necessitates a systematic review to assess its contents, benefits, and side effects. The systematic review aimed to examine oral herbal medicines during puerperium or breastfeeding, using the RCT method to provide evidence of IB levels in EBM. Methods: Inclusion criteria were articles in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to investigate the effectiveness of oral herbs during the puerperium and lactation. The methodological quality of articles was tested with the Jadad Score. Results: The five (5) selected articles have good quality (the Jadad Score was 5–8). The study tested five herbs, including fenugreek, honey, bitter fennel, Brazilian propolis, barley malt, and Thai herbal tea "Wang Nam Yean" (a mixture of sappan wood (secang), bael (maja) fruit, licorice, ginger, and tuba (Derris scandens)). Comparators included placebo and other herbs or Domperidone. Most clinical outcomes involved successful breastfeeding, but complications, infant weight gain, and side effects were also observed. Conclusion: Herbs can aid in healthy breastfeeding, but they should be taken cautiously and in conjunction with the assessment, counselling, and support of healthcare professionals. No herbal medicine has the best evidence-based practices because the evidence has not been applied to clinical practice, so changes in clinical practice results have yet to be documented.

Abstract

Background: Myogenic low back pain is a disorder characterized by pain in the lower back. Low back pain can have an impact on impaired functional ability. Some of the factors causing functional disorders are physiological factors, poor body posture, and unergonomic work postures. Adolescents are a group that is vulnerable to experiencing functional decline in the lower back due to pain in the lower back as a result of the demands of activity during the learning process, by spending most time sitting, and having busy learning schedules, which make physical activity tend to be low, which can result in decreased lower back functionality. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of ultrasound and core stability exercise on functional abilities in sufferers of myogenic low back pain in adolescents. Methods: The research design was pre-experimental with a one-group pre-and post-test design. From a total population of around 100, after simple random sampling, 57 subjects were obtained with measurements using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Results: The results of the normality test data analysis using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, ODI pre-test 0.072, and ODI post-test 0.157, and for hypothesis testing using the paired sample t-test P 0.000, so that there is a significant difference. Conclusion: The clinical implications could be the influence of providing ultrasound and core stability exercises on improving lower back function in adolescents. So the hypothesis is accepted.

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: Dengue fever is an acute mosquito-borne infection caused by the dengue viruses and has become a growing public health concern globally. One of the causes is the lack of knowledge about the 3M Plus campaign, especially among children in the school-age group. The objective of this research is to identify the impact of sticking pictures as health promotion media to prevent dengue fever on elementary school fifth-graders’ knowledge and attitude. Methods: This research uses a pre-experimental type with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population of this research consisted of all fifth-grade students, followed by 39 persons chosen utilizing proportional random sampling and simple random sampling techniques. The primary data for this research were collected through the distribution and completion of close-ended questionnaires. The data analysis method was carried out using the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. Results: The results show that there is a significant impact of the use of sticking pictures as health promotion media on elementary school fifth-graders’ knowledge (p = 0.01) and attitude (p = 0.01) towards dengue fever prevention after they were given sticking pictures. Conclusion: The use of health promotion media with sticking pictures affects elementary school fifth-graders’ increasing knowledge and attitude about DHF. The implication of this finding is that educators should consider integrating sticking pictures as health promotion media into their teaching methods to enhance students’ knowledge and attitude towards dengue fever prevention.

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.
