Abstract

Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2017 shows that the neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in Indonesia was 15 per 1,000 live births. A decrease in NMR to 12 per 1,000 live births can reduce the infant mortality rate (IMR). Purwakarta regency in 2019 ranked 14 out of 27 regencies and cities that contribute to the NMR in West Java. This research analyzes the knowledge of pregnant women about neonatal care before and after being given a combination of video animation and demonstration on the iPosyandu Parents application. The research method used was quantitative with one group pretest-posttest design, an interventional study without a control group. The sample size was 60 pregnant women in their third trimester. Samples that met the criteria were taken by purposive sampling technique and according to the midwife's instructions at the Pasawahan Public Health Center, Purwakarta regency. This research was conducted in May 2020. The knowledge data were collected using a questionnaire that was translated from previous studies. The questionnaire topic groups were adapted from the government's Maternal and Child Health book. The results showed differences in knowledge before and after being given health education using audiovisual media in 7 topic groups. They comprised general information on neonatal care, early breastfeeding initiation, breastfeeding, keeping babies warm, umbilical cord care, schedule of neonatal visits, and immunization. However, there was no difference in one topic group, namely the newborn danger critical signs.EDUKASI SELAMA KEHAMILAN TENTANG PERAWATAN NEONATUS MENGGUNAKAN VIDEO PADA APLIKASI iPOSYANDUAngka kematian neonatus (AKN) menurut Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) tahun 2017 di Indonesia adalah 15 per 1.000 lahir hidup. Penurunan AKN hingga 12 per 1.000 kelahiran hidup dapat menekan angka kematian bayi (AKB). Kabupaten Purwakarta pada tahun 2019 menempati urutan ke-14 dari 27 kabupaten dan kota penyumbang AKN di Jawa Barat. Tujuan penelitian ini menganalisis pengetahuan ibu hamil mengenai perawatan neonatus sebelum dan sesudah diberikan video kombinasi animasi dan demonstrasi pada aplikasi iPosyandu Orang Tua. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan desain one grup pretest-posttest yang merupakan penelitian intervensional tanpa kelompok kontrol. Besar sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 60 ibu hamil trimester III. Sampel yang memenuhi kriteria diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling sesuai dengan arahan dari bidan Puskesmas Pasawahan Kabupaten Purwakarta. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Mei 2020. Pengumpulan data pengetahuan dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang diterjemahkan dari penelitian sebelumnya. Kelompok topik kuesionernya disesuaikan dengan buku Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak (KIA) dari pemerintah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah diberikan pendidikan kesehatan menggunakan media audiovisual pada 7 kelompok topik. Topik tersebut terdiri atas informasi umum perawatan neonatus, inisiasi menyusui dini (IMD), pemberian ASI, menjaga bayi tetap hangat, perawatan tali pusat, jadwal kunjungan neonatal, dan imunisasi. Akan tetapi, kelompok mengenai tanda bahaya bayi baru lahir tidak terdapat perbedaan.

Abstract

The current typical practice for measuring the head circumference of under-five children is by using a measuring tape. However, it may create some difficulties as children cry and move during measurement, leading to less accurate results. Accurate head circumference measurement is essential for assessing brain development and early detection of brain development disorders. Therefore, a more accurate device to measure head circumference is needed. Noviemeter is a non-touch digitalized head circumference measuring device that enables easier measurement in under-five children. As a new tool, noviemeter’s accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity must be determined. This study aimed to analyze the difference in the head of under-five children circumference measurement results between a typical measuring tape as the gold standard and noviemeter and determine the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the noviemeter. It was a cross-sectional analytical study using cluster random sampling on 72 under-five children in the work area of Guntung Payung Public Health, South Kalimantan, during August 2020. The measurement was performed twice, first using a measuring tape and, second, using a noviemeter. Data were analyzed statistically using the dependent t test and diagnostic test. No significant difference was found between the results of the two measuring devices (p=0.257). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the noviemeter were 87.0%, 88.4%, and 91.8%, respectively. Thus, noviemeter has good sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy as an easier alternative device to measure head circumference in under-five children. UJI DIAGNOSTIK NOVIEMETER SEBAGAI ALAT PENGUKUR LINGKAR KEPALA BALITAPraktik pengukuran lingkar kepala balita yang umum dilakukan saat ini adalah dengan menggunakan pita ukur. Akan tetapi, hal itu dapat menimbulkan beberapa kesulitan karena anak menangis dan bergerak selama pengukuran yang menyebabkan hasil yang kurang akurat. Pengukuran lingkar kepala yang akurat sangat penting untuk menilai perkembangan otak dan deteksi dini gangguan perkembangan otak. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan alat yang lebih akurat untuk mengukur lingkar kepala. Noviemeter merupakan alat pengukur lingkar kepala digital non-sentuh yang memungkinkan pengukuran lebih mudah pada anak balita. Sebagai alat baru, akurasi, sensitivitas, dan spesifisitas noviemeter harus ditentukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis perbedaan hasil pengukuran lingkar kepala balita antara pita ukur tipikal sebagai baku emas dan noviemeter serta mengetahui akurasi, sensitivitas, dan spesifisitas dari noviemeter tersebut. Jenis penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional analytical dengan menggunakan cluster random sampling pada 72 balita di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Guntung Payung Kalimantan Selatan selama bulan Agustus 2020. Pengukuran dilakukan dua kali, pertama menggunakan pita pengukur dan kedua menggunakan noviemeter. Data dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan uji t dependen dan uji diagnostik. Tidak ditemukan perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil kedua alat ukur (p=0,257). Sensitivitas, spesifisitas, dan akurasi noviemeter masing-masing adalah 87,0%; 88,4%; dan 91,8%. Dengan demikian, noviemeter memiliki sensitivitas, spesifisitas, dan akurasi yang baik sebagai alat alternatif yang lebih mudah untuk mengukur lingkar kepala pada anak balita.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that was later declared a pandemic. During a pandemic, excessive workloads cause an increase in physical symptoms, such as tension-type headaches, in medical personnel. Tension-type headache (TTH) is associated with decreased sleep quality which will lead to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and fatigue syndrome. This study aims to determine the relationship between TTH and sleep quality, EDS, and fatigue syndrome in medical personnel during the pandemic. This study is a cross-sectional study conducted on health workers at Sebelas Maret University Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia in March–August 2020. The relationship between TTH and three other variables was analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of headache associated with the covariate. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare sleep quality, EDS, and fatigue syndrome in the TTH, non-TTH headache, and control groups. There were 120 respondents (mean age 30.93±12.48) in this study. The Spearman correlation test found a weak positive correlation between TTH and the three dependent variables. OR sleep quality, EDS, and fatigue syndrome with the incidence of TTH respectively 2.33 (95% CI=1.18–5.11, p<0.001); 2.52 (CI 95%=1.17–4.79, p=0.001), and 4.46 (95% CI=2.71–7.69, p<0.001). The Kruskal-Wallis test showed that the TTH group had poorer sleep quality and more frequent EDS and fatigue syndrome. There is a significant relationship between TTH and sleep quality, EDS, and fatigue syndrome in medical personnel during the pandemic. HUBUNGAN NYERI KEPALA TIPE TEGANG DENGAN KUALITAS TIDUR, RASA KANTUK BERLEBIHAN DI SIANG HARI, DAN SINDROM KELELAHAN PADA TENAGA MEDIS SELAMA COVID-19Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) merupakan penyakit menular yang kemudian dinyatakan sebagai pandemi. Selama pandemi, beban kerja yang berlebihan menyebabkan peningkatan gejala fisik, seperti nyeri kepala tipe tegang (tension-type headache) pada tenaga medis. Tension-type headache (TTH) dikaitkan dengan penurunan kualitas tidur yang akan menyebabkan rasa kantuk berlebihan di siang hari (excessive daytime sleepiness, EDS) dan sindrom kelelahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan TTH dengan kualitas tidur, EDS, dan sindrom kelelahan pada tenaga medis selama pandemi. Penelitian ini merupakan studi potong lintang yang dilakukan pada petugas kesehatan di RS Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia pada Maret–Agustus 2020. Hubungan antara TTH dan tiga variabel lainnya dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Analisis regresi logistik ganda digunakan untuk menghitung odds ratio (OR) nyeri kepala yang terkait dengan kovariat. Uji Kruskal-Wallis digunakan untuk membandingkan kualitas tidur, EDS, dan sindrom kelelahan pada kelompok TTH, nyeri kepala non-TTH, dan kontrol. Terdapat 120 responden (rerata usia 30,93±12,48). Uji korelasi Spearman menemukan korelasi positif lemah antara TTH dan tiga variabel terikat. OR kualitas tidur, EDS, dan sindrom kelelahan dengan kejadian TTH secara berurutan 2,33 (IK 95%=1,18–5,11; p<0,001); 2,52 (IK95 %=1,17–4,79; p=0,001); dan 4,46 (IK 95%=2,71–7,69; p<0,001). Uji Kruskal-Wallis menunjukkan bahwa kelompok TTH memiliki kualitas tidur yang lebih buruk dan lebih sering mengalami EDS, serta sindrom kelelahan. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan TTH dengan kualitas tidur, EDS, dan sindrom kelelahan pada tenaga medis selama pandemi.

Abstract

Efforts to prevent complications of dysphagia can be detected using a quick and correct screening method. Dysphagia screening tool (DST) can identify dysphagia stroke patients with eight indicators. Therefore, it makes it easier for nurses to improve their ability to document it. This study aims to analyze the effect of nursing dysphagia screening tool (NDST) education on increasing knowledge of screening documentation for hospital nurses. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The research was taking place at Tk. II dr. Soepraoen Hospital Malang starting 14 July–23 July 2021. A sample of 120 nurses was selected with a total sampling of 60 controls and interventions. Bivariate data analysis applied dependent t test followed by Mann-Whitney. The results showed that the mean difference of knowledge value was −19.999 with t arithmetic of −8.373 and p=0.000 (p<0.05). The significance value of the control group is p=0.000 (p<0.05), which means that there is a difference before and after the action on the knowledge variable of the NDST education control group through the website link. Value  of p=0.000 (p<0.05) means a difference between the increase in knowledge of the intervention group through face-to-face lectures and the website link control group. In conclusion, there are knowledge differences in documenting the results of dysphagia screening on patients with stroke before and after DST learning for hospital nurses. It is necessary to disseminate NDST learning socialization to screen for dysphagia in patients with stroke to optimize the prevention of stroke complications in the first 24 hours. PENGARUH EDUKASI NURSING DYSPHAGIA SCREENING TOOL TERHADAP PENINGKATAN PENGETAHUAN DOKUMENTASI HASIL SKRINING PADA PERAWAT RUMAH SAKITUpaya pencegahan komplikasi disfagia dapat dideteksi menggunakan metode skrining yang cepat dan benar. Dysphagia screening tool (DST) dapat mengidentifikasi disfagia pasien strok dengan delapan indikator. Hal ini mempermudah perawat untuk meningkatkan kemampuannya dalam mendokumentasikannya. Tujuan penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh edukasi nursing dysphagia screening tool (NDST) terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan dokumentasi hasil skrining pada perawat rumah sakit. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah quasi-experimental design dengan  non-equivalent control group. Penelitian bertempat di RS Tk. II dr. Soepraoen Malang pada 14 Juli–23 Juli 2021. Sampel sebanyak 120 perawat dipilih secara total sampling, 60 kontrol dan perlakuan. Analisis data bivariat menggunakan uji t dependen dilanjutkan dengan Mann-Whitney. Hasil menunjukkan nilai mean difference pengetahuan sebesar −19,999 dengan t hitung sebesar −8,373 dan p=0,000 (p<0,05). Nilai signifikansi kelompok kontrol p=0,000 (p<0,05) yang berarti terdapat perbedaan sebelum dan sesudah tindakan pada variabel pengetahuan kelompok kontrol edukasi NDST melalui tautan website. Nilai p=0,000 (p<0,05) berarti terdapat perbedaan peningkatan pengetahuan kelompok perlakuan edukasi melalui ceramah tatap muka dengan kelompok kontrol tautan website. Simpulan, terdapat perbedaan pengetahuan dalam pendokumentasian hasil skrining disfagia pasien strok di RS sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan edukasi NDST perawat rumah sakit. Diperlukan sosialisasi edukasi NDST untuk menskrining disfagia pasien strok untuk mengoptimalkan pencegahan perburukan klinis komplikasi strok pada 24 jam pertama.

Abstract

Belief in the availability of social support (perceived social support) was known to influence depression and health-related quality of life in SLE patients. This support becomes a psychological resource when they experience negative emotional states such as depression caused by a chronic illness such as SLE. In people whose lives are influenced by religion, such as in Indonesian culture, belief in God's help (perceived spiritual support) is an important variable that needs to be studied because it is predicted to affect patients’ health-related quality of life. This study aims to explain the relationship between perceived social support, spiritual support, and depression to health-related quality of life in a patient with SLE. This cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2021 towards 328 SLE patients selected using the convenient sampling technique. Data was collected through forms that are distributed online and offline. The research sample was SLE patients who were members of a lupus community in Indonesia and lived in several cities in Java. The statistical analysis using a structural model (CMIN/df=103, RMSEA=0.103, CFI=0.972, TLI=0.963). Chi-square value=201,835 (p=0.000) suggested that perceived social support directly affected the level of depression and health-related quality of life on a patient with SLE, while perceived spiritual support affected the health-related quality of life through the mediation of depression, which means that spiritual support affected the quality of life by reducing negative emotions experienced by SLE patients. PERAN DUKUNGAN SOSIAL, SPIRITUAL, DAN DEPRESI TERHADAP KUALITAS HIDUP TERKAIT KESEHATAN PASIEN SLEKeyakinan akan ketersediaan dukungan sosial (perceived social support) diketahui memengaruhi depresi dan kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan pada pasien SLE. Dukungan ini diyakini menjadi sumber daya psikologis saat individu berada dalam kondisi emosi yang negatif seperti depresi yang disebabkan oleh penyakit kronis seperti SLE. Pada masyarakat yang kehidupannya dipengaruhi oleh agama seperti di Indonesia, keyakinan akan pertolongan Tuhan (perceived spiritual support) merupakan variabel penting yang perlu dipelajari karena diprediksi memengaruhi kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan mekanisme hubungan antara perceived social support, spiritual support, dan depresi terhadap kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan pasien SLE. Penelitian cross-sectional ini dilakukan dari Maret hingga Juni 2021 pada 328 pasien SLE yang dipilih dengan convinient sampling technique. Data dikumpulkan melalui formulir yang disebarkan secara daring dan luring. Sampel penelitian merupakan pasien SLE yang tergabung dalam suatu komunitas lupus dan berdomisili di beberapa kota di pulau Jawa. Hasil analisis statistik dengan model struktural (CMIN/df=103; RMSEA=0,103; CFI=0,972; TLI=0,963). Nilai chi-square=201.835 (p=0,000) memperlihatkan bahwa perceived social support berpengaruh secara langsung pada tingkat depresi dan kualitas hidup pasien SLE. Sementara itu, perceived spiritual support memengaruhi kualitas hidup terkait kesehatan melalui mediasi depresi yang berarti bahwa spiritual support memengaruhi kualitas hidup dengan mengurangi kondisi emosi negatif yang dirasakan oleh pasien SLE.

However, data on student mental health in Indonesia during the pandemic is still limited. This study describes the depression, anxiety, and stress of college students in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research method is descriptive, conducted on college students in Indonesia from July to August 2021. Sampling is done by voluntary sampling collection, with 258 respondents. The research instrument is a questionnaire of characteristics and depression, anxiety, stress scale (DASS) 42 in the form of Google Form. Data analysis using Microsoft Excel. The results of the research on the characteristics of the most respondents, namely, age in the range of 20–24 years (85.3%), female (64.7%), from Java (60.8), third grade (66.7%), living with parents (74.8%), and from the faculty of medicine (23.3%). More college students are not depressed (55.0%) or not stressed (57.4%) than those who are depressed or stressed. However, more college students experience anxiety than those who are not anxious, 60.1%. Based on the level, most college students experienced moderate depression (12.8%), very severe anxiety (20.9%), and severe stress (13.6%). This study concludes that most college students experience moderate depression, very severe anxiety, and severe stress. The success of online education depends on several factors, such as basic technical skills and the ability to access hardware and software, good self-motivation, and the availability of a conducive learning environment. This problem can have an impact on the mental health of college students. TINGKAT DEPRESI, KECEMASAN, DAN STRES PADA MAHASISWA DI INDONESIA SELAMA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19Pandemi COVID-19 menyebabkan peralihan metode pembelajaran menjadi daring.

Abstract

Patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) may experience an increase in ferritin due to shorter erythrocyte lifespan and lysis, as well as side effects of transfusion. Increasing ferritin can cause various complications, including pain, which can develop into chronic pain and interfere with life quality. This study aims to determine the relationship between pain and serum ferritin levels in adults with TDT. This study was an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional design on adult TDT patients with pain who came to the Hemato-Oncology Clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. This research was conducted from March to June 2021. All subjects were assisted to fill out the Indonesian version of the Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI-SF) questionnaire before transfusion. Ferritin levels in the last three months were obtained from medical records. If more than three months, serum ferritin levels were examined. Ferritin levels and BPI-SF scores were then correlated using the Pearson test. The study was conducted on 51 adult TDT patients with pain, and the average value of ferritin levels in research subjects is 5081±2929 g/L. There was a relationship between pain (the dimensions of pain interfere with life on the BPI-SF score) and an increase in ferritin levels (p=0.042, r=0.29). The results showed there is a relationship between pain and serum ferritin levels. Regular consumption of iron chelation tablets can reduce ferritin levels and improve the quality of life for adults with TDT. HUBUNGAN NYERI DENGAN KADAR FERITIN SERUM PADA PENYANDANG TRANSFUSION-DEPENDENT THALASSEMIA DEWASAPenyandang transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) dapat mengalami peningkatan feritin akibat umur eritrosit yang lebih pendek dan mudah lisis, serta efek samping terhadap pemberian transfusi. Peningkatan feritin tersebut dapat menyebabkan berbagai komplikasi di antaranya nyeri yang dapat berkembang menjadi nyeri kronik dan mengganggu kualitas hidup. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan nyeri dengan kadar feritin serum pada penyandang TDT dewasa. Penelitian dengan observasional analitik menggunakan rancangan potong lintang pada penyandang TDT dewasa dengan nyeri yang datang ke Klinik Hemato-Onkologi RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Penelitian dilakukan dari Maret hingga Juni 2021. Seluruh subjek dilakukan pendampingan untuk mengisi kuesioner Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI-SF) versi Indonesia sebelum transfusi. Kadar feritin dalam tiga bulan terakhir didapatkan dari rekam medis dan bila lebih dari tiga bulan dilakukan pemeriksaan kadar feritin serum. Kadar feritin dan skor BPI-SF kemudian dikorelasikan menggunakan Uji Pearson. Penelitian dilakukan kepada 51 penyandang TDT dewasa dengan gejala nyeri dan didapatkan nilai rerata kadar feritin pada subjek penelitian adalah 5081±2929 μg/L. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan terdapat hubungan antara nyeri (dimensi efek nyeri terhadap kehidupan) dan peningkatan kadar feritin (p=0,042; r=0,29). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara nyeri dan kadar feritin serum. Konsumsi tablet kelasi besi secara rutin dapat menurunkan kadar feritin dan memperbaiki kualitas hidup penyandang TDT dewasa.

Abstract

Integrated health post for elderly/posyandu lansia is one of the community empowerment actions in improving the quality of life of the elderly. The role of cadres in managing the posyandu lansia is significant and is influenced by motivational factors that will cause satisfaction or dissatisfaction at work. A qualitative study in Bandung succeeded in exploring the components of satisfaction based on Herzberg's theory. Until now, no questionnaires have been developed to measure the satisfaction of posyandu lansia cadres. This study aims to set up and validate the satisfaction questionnaire for posyandu lansia cadres. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 cadres taken by multistage sampling in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, from October to November 2020. Fifty-four items consisting of 19 motivator factor items and 35 hygiene factor items were tested for validity using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, exploratory factor analysis, and communalities test. In addition, a reliability test was carried out using Cronbach's alpha. The results showed that 16 of 54 items did not meet the requirements, consisting of 5 items from motivator factors and 11 from hygiene factors. The dimensions of the motivator factors changed from 6 dimensions to 4 dimensions, and the dimensions of hygiene factors changed from 8 dimensions to 9 dimensions. It concluded that a new questionnaire on the satisfaction of posyandu lansia cadres has been compiled and can be used to measure the level of satisfaction of cadres. However, further studies need to be carried out involving various regions in Indonesia.
