Abstract

Construction workers were at high risk for chronic lung disease and decreased lung function, which often causes coughing symptoms. Self-medicated cough medicines were not only at risk for the incidence of side effects but also associated with the economy. This study aimed to determine differences in knowledge and perceptions about pulmonary function disorders. This study was an observational study using a case-control design conducted from April to December 2018. The subject was actively working in Rungkut subdistrict, Surabaya. Data will be presented descriptively, with relationships and differences analyzed using the chi-square test. Respondents found in both groups were 158, with 79 respondents in each group. Most of the respondents had a very high level of knowledge and perception in the group with impaired lung function (p=0.000). In addition, there is a relationship between knowledge and perception of self-medication of cough medicine. In conclusion, knowledge is related to construction workers' perception of self-medication of cough medicine.

Abstract

The problem of growth and development in adolescence and the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic is psychosocial stress that could trigger anxiety, depression, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). This research aims to describe the relationship between the level of emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence with NSSI behavior in adolescents. We conducted quantitative correlational research with a cross-sectional approach. Subjects in the study consist of high school students in Bandung from June 2021 to July 2021. The examination was carried out through a questionnaire of Self-Harm Inventory (SHI) instrument, the emotional intelligence scale, and the spiritual intelligence scale. Sixty respondents with NSSI behavior were found (30.15%) out of 199 respondents, mostly aged 15–17 and female. Among them, 54 meet the mild NSSI behavior, and six people tend severe psychopathology. All adolescents with NSSI behavior were found to exhibit a level of emotional and spiritual intelligence in the moderate category. Statistically, there is a significant and simultaneous relationship between the level of emotional and spiritual intelligence and NSSI behavior in adolescents. Therefore, psychosocial intervention effort is essential for adolescents with NSSI to increase their spiritual and emotional intelligence. Adolescents with severe psychopathology need to be referred to a psychiatrist for further examination.

Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) incidence in Indonesia, which become one of the mortality causes, is relatively high. Therefore, the government launched the mosquito nest eradication (MNE) movement with an indicator of the larva-free rate to reduce the incidence of DHF. Another effort in vector control is using ovitrap to break the life chain of dengue vectors. This study aimed to determine the effect of using ovitrap on the female Aedes sp. density in the Tamansari village area of Bandung city. This quantitative experimental study was conducted on 60 houses in two neighborhood associations in the Tamansari village area. Both community groups were assessed for ovitrap index and the number of eggs trapped on ovitrap filter paper before and after treatment. The treatment group consisting of 30 houses was given one ovitrap inside and one ovitrap outside the house for four weeks. Ovitrap is changed every five days. The second group is the control community. The data obtained were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and chi-square tests with a degree of confidence of 0.05. In this study, the ovitrap index of this area was found between 0.67–0.80, which indicates that this area is at high risk of DHF transmission. Statistical tests showed that the use of ovitrap did not affect female Aedes sp. density as assessed by the ovitrap index. The results showed that using ovitrap could not control the population of Aedes sp.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes severe acute respiratory disease in humans and has spread rapidly worldwide since its first identification in December 2019. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) describes the balance between the severity of inflammation and the immune system to be used as an important systemic inflammatory marker. Rapid progression of clinical deterioration is characterized by severe respiratory symptoms related to high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, like interleukin-6 (IL-6), indicating that the occurrence of cytokine storms leads to increased mortality. This study aims to assess the correlation between IL-6 and NLR in predicting the severity of COVID-19. This prospective cohort study was conducted at the COVID-19 ward of Universitas Sebelas Maret Hospital in August–September 2021. This study involved 66 COVID-19 patients >18 years old with asymptomatic to critical degree and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) value ≤3. Examination of laboratory parameters and serum IL-6 was carried out when the patient entered the Emergency Room. Statistical test with Pearson’s correlation test, significant if p<0.05. There is no significant correlation between IL-6 and NLR with p=0.56 and r=0.08, and a strong correlation between IL-6 and disease severity with p=0.000 and r=0.454. The conclusion is that IL-6 does not correlate with NLR and strongly correlates with disease severity in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Indonesian people habitually consume fresh vegetables as companions to other foods. We can find soil-transmitted helminths (STH) eggs in fresh vegetables that are not washed clean. This study determines whether there was STH egg contamination in fresh vegetables in several stalls selling fried chicken in Medan. This study was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Research samples were four types of fresh vegetables: lemon basil (Ocimum africanum), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), and cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) collected from 88 fried chicken stalls in Medan in January 2019. All samples were examined by the sedimentation method to ensure STH egg contamination at the Parasitology Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara. The types of fresh vegetables that were most contaminated by STH eggs were lemon basil leaves (Ocimum africanum), and the most abundant STH eggs found were Ascaris lumbricoideseggs. In conclusion, there is egg contamination in fresh vegetables in several stalls selling fried chicken in Medan.

Abstract

Distribution of mosquito nets is one healthcare strategy implemented to control the number of malaria cases in Indonesia. East Nusa Tenggara is one of the provinces contributing to high malaria rates. Cases are high in several areas, including Central Sumba regency. This study aimed to describe the behavior of the people of Mamboro and Katiku Tana sub-districts in using long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs), the number of LLINs owned, number of beds, number of family members, number of pregnant women and toddlers, distribution of LLINs in families, and LLINs utilization. This is a descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted in the work area of the Mananga Health Center of Susu Wendewa village of Mamboro sub-district and Malinjak Health Center of Makata Keri village of Katiku Tana sub-district, Central Sumba regency. The research was carried out from 9–19 September 2021 with 341 heads of families as respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Most families had LLINs (n=287; 94.1%); the total number of LLINs owned was 341, used by 1,220 (94.7%) family members with ten pregnant women and 35 children under five. The number of installed LLINs was 290 units (85%), LLINs obtained from the health centers within 1–3 months was 44% (126 families), 314 units (92%) were used while sleeping, and there were still family members who did not use LLINs every night. We conclude that the acceptance and utilization of LLINs should not stop at the distribution of LLINs to the public and must be supported by an evaluation in the form of regular surveys to ensure that LLINs are correctly used.

Abstract

Applying a clean and healthy lifestyle is one of the measures to prevent the massive transmission of COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the application of a clean and healthy lifestyle and social-physical distancing carried out by Indonesian students during the new normal of COVID-19. This research was conducted in June 2020 with a cross-sectional study approach, with the number of respondents being 5,924 students in Indonesia. The technique of filling out the questionnaire was done online by Google Forms. Furthermore, respondents would be asked to fill in the available consent letter and answer questions. Based on the results, most respondents were female students with majors in health (3,982 respondents) from undergraduate study programs (2,529 respondents). The place of residence during the pandemic was staying home with the family (2,715 respondents). A clean and healthy lifestyle involves several variables. Those were included touching eyes, nose, and mouth; using hand sanitizer; keeping a mask; opening the door with elbows; touching public equipment; shaking hands; touching with family; washing hands with soap; cleaning; changing clothes; washing masks; personal equipment; and washing hands directly after arrival had a significant relationship, with p<0.005, and p<0.002 for soaking clothes was also significantly related. Therefore, the clean and healthy lifestyle conducted by respondents could be undergone improvement. Also, respondents did not follow the health protocols, which might trigger COVID-19 transmission.

Abstract

The many demands faced by first-year medical students can impact mental health. For students to function well, resilience is needed. This study aimed to determine the relationship between resilience knowledge and the mental health of first-year medical students. This quantitative study was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Islam Bandung, in October 2022. Respondents were 92 students in the first 2022/2023 academic year—data collection method was by distributing two Google Forms links. The first contains a pre-test regarding resilience knowledge, while the second includes the self-reporting questionnaire-29 (SRQ-29). Univariate analysis used distribution assumptions, frequency distribution (median, mean, standard deviation), and proportion distribution (percentage, 95% CI). Bivariate analysis used the ttest, Wilcoxon test, and chi-square test. Most respondents were female, 59% (95% CI=52.62, 72.37). The majority of respondents were 18 years old. The highest order of mental health screening was post-traumatic stress disordersymptoms at 59% (95% CI=48.27, 68.39), mental-emotional disorder (anxiety and depression) symptoms at 37% (95% CI=27.62, 47.37), and psychotic symptoms at 27% (95% CI 18.98, 37.28). No respondents experienced symptoms of narcotic or psychotropic drugs. Respondents who indicated mental health disorders were more significant than those who did not, namely 60% (95% CI=49.35, 69.39). There was no relationship between resilience knowledge and mental health (p=0.75). Respondent's understanding of resilience was good, but more indicated mental health disorders.

Abstract

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first treatment choice for pain relief in osteoarthritis (OA). However, known to have an 85% risk of side effects on the gastrointestinal and a 40% chance of cardiovascular complications. In addition, in certain classes of NSAIDs, the risk of chronic kidney disease increases due to long-term consumption. On the other hand, dextrose prolotherapy is a regenerative therapy. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of oral NSAIDs with dextrose prolotherapy in knee OA based on clinical features. This study used an observational method (cross-sectional) conducted in three locations; Jember Clinic Hospital, Balung Hospital, and Harapan Mulya Kertonegoro Jenggawah Clinic from September 2021 to March 2022. Of the 75 population, 23 patients with mild to moderate knee OA were divided into two groups; 15 samples of dextrose prolotherapy and eight samples of oral NSAIDs. Data in the study showed the mean WOMAC score in the dextrose prolotherapy group was 12.4±11.7, while the oral NSAID group was 34.75±17.6. A total of 14 samples experienced a decrease in scores after switching from oral NSAIDs to dextrose prolotherapy. Bivariate analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. Both statistical tests show a p=0.001 (p<0.05). Thus, this study concluded that dextrose prolotherapy was more effective than oral NSAIDs in knee OA.
