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.
