Abstract

The combination of African leaf nanoparticle hydrogel (Vernonia amygdalina) and Papuan honey in modern dressing to heal wound in grade II diabetic patients can reduce the care day length and amputation risk for upper or lower extremity areas that are often affected and wounded in the event of hyperglycemia. Wound care is performed every 3 days for 20 days based on the physiological process in the proliferative phase of wound healing. The diabetic wound was assessed using the Bates Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT). The research was experimental with pre- and post-test control group design. The results showed that the 20-day wound care with this combination could reduce the BWAT score by 5.2, a sign of its effectiveness as compared to the control group reduction by 4.33. Conclusively, performing a modern dressing using this combination for 30-45 minutes every 3 days for 20 days was effective in accelerating the healing process of grade II diabetic wounds.

Abstract

Formaldehyde had some degree of toxicity in the human body as a cadaver preservation solution. Recent studies showed that moderate formaldehyde levels in cadavers could neutralize SARS-CoV-2. However, other effects of formaldehyde levels in the air are not yet known on bacteria. This study aims to determine the optimal level of formaldehyde that can be used to neutralize bacteria and is safe for humans. This study used a post-test control group design with formaldehyde level as the independent variable and bacterial colonization as the dependent variable. The results showed that the mean levels of formaldehyde with the bacterial colony respectively were P1 (1.378±0.716; 0.40±0.10), P2 (0.347±0.038; 1.40±0.10), P3 (0.137±0.006; 2.40 ±0.10), P4 (0.042±0.005; 3.32±0.09), and P5 (0.009±0016; 4.40±0.10). The statistical analysis results revealed a value of p0.05, which indicated that the higher the formaldehyde level, the higher the ability to neutralize bacterial activity. The study concluded the optimum level for neutralizing bacterial activity safe for humans is about 0347±0038 mg/m3.

Abstract

To cancer patients, families are the first home care and support providers who help meet all their needs. This study aims to define their actions that help the patients deal with the side effects of chemotherapy at home. This is a descriptive quantitative research involving cancer outpatients who are taking chemotherapies in Arifin Achmad Hospital of Riau Province. A consecutive sampling technique obtained 134 families as samples, from which the data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed univariately. The results showed several major actions in helping their members get through the side effects of chemotherapy, which include helping overcome nausea and vomiting by providing preferable food (in as many as 84 patients or 63%), helping overcome hair loss by keeping hair short and easy to manage (in as many as 54 patients or 40.5%), helping overcome fatigue by assisting to manage routines (in as many as 83 patients or 62.2%), helping battle appetite loss by preparing favorite foods on demand (in as many as 99 patients or 74.2%), and helping overcome diarrhea by giving 8-10 glasses of water per day (in as many as 91 patients or 68.2%). These actions have given proper results in helping the patients overcome chemotherapy side effects at home. Therefore, our study is expected to be a reference for other families whose members are dealing with similar conditions.

Abstract

COVID-19 is an infectious disease that spreads through fluids when the infected person coughs or sneezes. Vaccination is one of the effective ways to prevent COVID-19. Good knowledge of COVID-19 vaccines will increase the willingness of people to get vaccinated. If the vaccination program is successful, it can reduce and prevent the transmission of COVID-19. Sociodemographic characteristics like education and income are significantly related to a person's knowledge of COVID-19 vaccination. The study aims to determine the relationship between the sociodemographic characteristics with the knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccine in the community of Banjar Regency. This study used a cross-sectional design and a descriptive-analytic analysis. There are 400 samples used and obtained using an accidental sampling technique. In the data analysis, univariate and bivariate analysis was used with the chi-square test. It found that the level of public knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccine in the Banjar Regency area is poor knowledge (40.3%) of the COVID-19 vaccine. There is a relationship between gender, age, education, income, and sources of knowledge about the COVID-19 vaccine in the community of Banjar regency.

Abstract

A surgical procedure may induce psychological reactions in patients, including pre-surgical anxiety. Pre-surgical anxiety can influence the surgical process and patients’ health status after the surgery. Mild, moderate, and severe anxiety are some of the psychological responses to surgical procedures. Patients' anxiety before surgery is affected by internal and external factors. 30 respondents had the most anxiety levels of moderate preoperative patients, with 12 respondents (40%) and 18 respondents (60%) having surgical with mild preoperative anxiety levels. There were 25 respondents with less knowledge. There were 16 respondents (64%) with mild anxiety levels and 9 (36%) with moderate anxiety levels. 55 respondents with high family support, there were 48 respondents (87.3%) with moderate anxiety levels, there were 5 respondents (7.4%) with severe anxiety levels and 2 respondents (3.6%) with mild anxiety levels. The exact cause of anxiety is unknown, but it is thought to factor in experience, knowledge, and family support or RSUD Arifin Achmad, Riau Province. The study aims to describe factors that influence anxiety in patients’ pre-operation. The research instrument was a questionnaire through validity and reliability tests. Univariate and bivariate analyses were applied. The research instrument was a questionnaire through validity and reliability tests. The research showed no significant correlations between experiences, knowledge, and family support with the patients’ anxiety (p-value0.05). It was suggested that the hospital should concern with factors correlated with pre-surgical patients' anxiety and increase the quality of nursing care.

Abstract

One of the characteristics of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is the low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. Jamblang leaves (Syzygium cumini L.) contain various phytochemicals, which have antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, and antioxidant properties. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of ethanol extract of jamblang leaves in increasing HDL levels in the Wistar rats model of MetS. A pretest-posttest with a control group design was conducted using 30 male Wistar rats, divided into five groups randomly, with six rats for each group.  Here, KN means normal control group, K- negative control group, and P1, P2, and P3: treatment groups that were administered the 100 mg/kg/day, 150 mg/kg/day, and 200 mg/kg/day of ethanol extract of jamblang leaves for 28 days, respectively. The rat MetS model was developed by administering the high-fat fructose diet and streptozotocin-nicotinamide. The data were analyzed using paired t-test and one-way ANOVA (α=0.05). This study found that extract administration in P2 and P3 increased HDL levels significantly, but not with the P1 group. However, HDL levels in P1 were significantly higher compared to the K- group. Moreover, increasing the dose was significantly followed by higher HDL levels, although the highest dose did not reach the HDL level as in the KN group.

Abstract

Mothers who are too young, too old, have too many children or have birth spacing that is too close (mothers with 4T) are at a higher risk of experiencing maternal mortality. At the same time, the use of contraceptives in this group to prevent pregnancy was still low. This study aims to analyze family planning services for couples of reproductive age with 4T and cases of maternal death. This research method is quantitative and descriptive, using 58 data on reports of maternal deaths in Jember Regency for 2022. The study indicates that there are 20 (34.48%) maternal death cases that have at least one of the 4T criteria, with details of 10.34% of deaths in too young criteria, 15.51% of death in too old criteria, 8.60% of deaths in too many criteria; and 8.60% death in too close criteria. There were 20.69% of cases of death in unwanted pregnancies. The average achievement of family planning services for mothers with 4T is only 9.51%. This research can be used as material for evaluating family planning services for women with 4T so that it can reduce maternal mortality in Jember Regency
