Abstract

Background: Worm infections are a common cause of anemia in pregnant women, particularly in areas with poor sanitation. While many studies have examined anemia in pregnancy, few have specifically explored the effectiveness of personal hygiene education in increasing pregnant women's knowledge of the dangers of worm infection.Purpose:  This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a personal hygiene module in increasing the knowledge of pregnant women with anemia about the dangers of worm infection. Methods: This quasi-experimental study, which involved 30 pregnant women with anemia, was conducted in the coastal area of North Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. A purposive sampling technique was used, and data were analyzed using the paired t-test.Result: The average knowledge score before education was 29.27, significantly increasing to 52.40 after implementing the personal hygiene module (p = 0.000).Conclusions: The personal hygiene module effectively improves the knowledge of pregnant women with anemia regarding the dangers of worm infection.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension during pregnancy is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Rosella flower infused-water, rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and polyphenols, have been shown to lower blood pressure safely. Although previous studies have highlighted the antihypertensive effects of rosella in the general population, research specifically focusing on its use in pregnant women with hypertension is still limited.Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of rosella flower-infused water on control blood pressure reduction in pregnant women with hypertension.Method: The research design used is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test approach involving 100 pregnant women with hypertension in Desa Karangraharja. The intervention group received 200 ml of rosella flower-infused water for 14 days in conjunction with nifedipine 10 mg, while the control group only received nifedipine 10 mg. The blood pressure of the control and intervention groups was measured using the Mann-Whitney Test.Results: The rosella flower-infused water effectively reduced systolic blood pressure in the intervention group by 24.92 mmHg compared to the control group by 18.78 mmHg (p=0.000). Diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group decreased by three mmHg, although this was not statistically significant compared to the control group's decrease of 3.6 mmHg (p=0.715).Conclusion: The 200 ml rosella flower-infused water for 14 consecutive days reduced systolic blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Sanitary pads are essential for postpartum mothers to accommodate lochia and prevent infection in perineal wounds. Binahong leaves (Anredera cordifolia) contain flavonoids with antiseptic, antioxidant, and analgesic properties that promote wound healing by inhibiting microbial growth and reducing inflammation. However, research on the use of sanitary pads infused with Binahong leaf extract for perineal wound healing remains limited.Objective: This study investigates the effectiveness of Binahong leaf extract sanitary pads in accelerating postpartum perineal wound healing. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a post-test-only randomized control group design was conducted at the Poasia Health Center, Kendari City. The study included postpartum mothers meeting specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a total sample of 34 participants (17 intervention, 17 control). The intervention group used Binahong leaf extract sanitary pads four times daily, while the control group relied on standard dry wound care. The intervention lasted seven days, and wound healing was assessed using the REEDA scale on days three, five, and seven.Results: The findings demonstrated a significant effect of Binahong leaf extract sanitary pads on perineal wound healing. The intervention group (2.52 ± 0.87) experienced faster wound recovery than the control group (5.23 ± 1.67) (p< 0.001).Conclusion: Binahong leaf extract sanitary pads effectively accelerate perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers and may serve as an alternative wound care approach.

Abstract

Background: Ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure accelerates skin aging, causing wrinkles and increasing matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) activity, which degrades collagen. Centella asiatica (CA) has well-documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may counteract UVB-induced photoaging. However, studies on its topical formulation for MMP-1 inhibition and collagen enhancement remain limited.Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of CA leaf extract cream on inhibiting MMP-1 and increasing collagen in skin tissue exposed to UVB rays.Methods: This experimental study used a post-test only control group design. The sample population of BALB/c mice was 24, divided into four groups: healthy control group (KN), negative control group (K-), Treatment 1 (P1): 10% CA extract cream dosage, and Treatment 2 (P2): 20% CA extract cream dosage. Skin tissue samples were measured for MMP-1 expression using immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining, and collagen density using Sirius Red staining. Data analysis on MMP-1 expression using One-way ANOVA test and collagen density using Kruskal Wallis test.Results: MMP-1 expression was highest in the K2 group (UVB exposure + cream base) and decreased in the P1 and P2 groups (10% CA cream), with the lowest expression in the K1 group (healthy control). However, One-Way ANOVA showed no significant differences among groups (p=0.053). Collagen density analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test showed significant differences (p = 0.04), with a decrease in the K2 group and an increase in the K3 and K4 groups.Conclusion: Application of CA extract cream affects MMP-1 expression and collagen density in skin tissue exposed to UVB rays.

Abstract

Introduction: Depression in the elderly is shaped by sociodemographic and psychological factors. Depression generally affects older adults and is associated with a poor life, with sociodemographic and psychological factors such as social support and loneliness playing a role in the onset of depression. However, the relationship between these factors and depression in the elderly is still rarely explored.Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between psychological and sociodemographic factors on the level of depression in the elderly living in nursing homes, with a focus on social support, level of loneliness, and cognitive impairment.Methods: This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design and involved 72 older adults living in four East Java, Indonesia nursing homes. Data were collected through questionnaires using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), UCLA Loneliness Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), which were translated into Bahasa Indonesia. Multiple logistic regression was used to understand the relationship between sociodemographic and psychological factors and the level of depression in the elderly.Results: Marital status (AOR 0.177, p = 0.030) and social support (AOR 0.950, p = 0.040) are significantly associated with depression in the elderly.Conclusion: Marital status and level of social support have the potential to cause depression in the elderly living in nursing homes.
