According to the Central Statistics Agency, the percentage of smokers among Indonesians aged 15 years is relatively high. It was 32.20%, 29.03%, and 28.69%, in 2018, 2019, and 2020 respectively. Cigarettes contain tar that changes into a solid and builds up colored plaque when entering the mouth. Perpetual cigarette smoke causes brown pigmentation on the mucosa, known as smoker's melanosis. Smoker's melanosis is abundant in gums and lips. This study's objective was to analyze the correlations between a smoking habit with teeth, gums, and lips discoloration in an active smoker. This study was an observational analysis with a survey approach from January to May 2021 in Bandung. The sample was 100 males, consisting of 38 active smokers and 62 non-smokers as a comparison group. Data were analyzed by Pearson and Spearman test. This study shows a significant correlation between smoking habit and teeth discoloration (p=0.01), also shows a statistically significant correlation between a smoking habit and gum discoloration (p=0.00), and there is a significant correlation (p=0.00) between a smoking habit and lips discoloration. In conclusion, there is a correlation between a smoking habit and teeth, gums, and lips discoloration.

Breast cancer is a life-threatening disease among Indonesian women. The etiology of breast cancer is still uncertain, and therefore adequate primary prevention is difficult. Early diagnosis improves cancer prognosis while also reducing medical costs, substantially reducing mortality rates. Knowledge and awareness of breast cancer risk factors and their screening may help women take preventive measures. The community service program aimed to assess the level of understanding of undergraduate medical students on breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE). It was a one-group pretest-postest quasi-experimental study to measure the level of knowledge of 100 medical students in Indonesia from August 20th, 2020, to February 27th, 2021. The participants were asked 36 questions, which was an adaptation of previous questionnaires. A mini-lecture managed the program that focuses on risk factors and early detection. Furthermore, pretest and post-test were conducted to analyze the knowledge level before and after the dissemination. The participants included in this study were mostly 20 years and above (62%). The average recognition of breast cancer and its early detection was not high. The knowledge of breast cancer among medical students was found to be moderate. The efficacy of dissemination among medical students was apparent in knowledge change. However, good cancer awareness, especially breast cancer, needs to be established and integrated through effective cancer educational programs in the medical curricula. Hence, modification of the medical curriculum through extensive training on breast cancer preventive measures and early diagnosis is required.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) in the COVID-19 pandemic era is essential for healthcare workers to decrease the risk of infection. The PPE, such as N95 masks and goggles, can trigger external-compression headache (ECH). This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the prevalence of ECH attributed to PPE usage. It was an analytic-observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang in May 2020. The subjects were healthcare workers (doctors and nurses) who used level 3 PPE for a minimum of 4 hours. The diagnosis of ECH was determined by the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) 3rd edition criteria. The Headache Screening Questionnaire (HSQ) determined the pre-existing primary headaches. The association between variables was analyzed using chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests. P-value<0.05 was considered statistically significant. A total of 113 healthcare workers participated in this study, consisting of 46 (40.7%) males and 67 (59.3%) females. The median age was 30 (23–46) years. ECH occurred in 102 (90.3%) respondents. Pre-existing primary headaches were present in 79 (69.9%) respondents, including migraine in 28 (23.6%) and tension-type headaches (TTH) in 46 (40.7%) respondents. The frontalis (69%) and temporalis (50.4%) were the most affected muscles. In this study, the significant factor associated with ECH was pre-existing primary headache (p=0.001, OR=7.795). There was a significant association between the pre-existing TTH (p=0.022) and ECH. There was a non-significant association between pre-existing migraine and ECH (p=0.284). In conclusion, the pre-existing primary headache was associated with the prevalence of ECH attributed to PPE usage.

Few studies have looked into why global immunization coverage has plummeted, particularly in Indonesia. The Indonesian government had a childhood immunization program including in Aceh. This study aimed to learn more about immunization coverage in Aceh, Indonesia, and the factors that influence it. This cross-sectional study relied on data from the National Basic Health Surveys conducted in 2013 and 2018. The children in this study ranged in age from 12 to 23. The coverage of vaccines in Aceh fell by 50% between 2013 and 2018. (38.3% to 19.5%, the lowest in Indonesia). The number of children in Aceh who did not receive immunizations increased by 100%. (19.8% to 40.9%). While the percentage of children who have not received their complete vaccination has decreased by 5% (41.9% to 39.56%). The characteristics of the head of household with unvaccinated children were largely poor education, and the majority came from the poorest quartile of wealth. The most common reasons for refusal were families' refusal to allow immunization (43%) and fear of post-immunization fever (32%). Unvaccinated children come from low-income, low-educated families who refuse immunization.

Transmission of COVID-19 in pregnant women and postpartum mothers is potentially high risk. Postpartum mothers implement health protocols influenced by predisposing, enabling, and need factors. This study aimed to analyze the role of midwives and information media in postpartum mothers' knowledge, attitude, and behavior regarding the COVID-19 health protocol. This research was conducted in RSUD Kabupaten Kediri, in August–October 2021. The study used a correlational analytic method. The sample was postpartum mothers using a simple random sampling technique where 100 respondents included in inclusion criteria were given a questionnaire to complete. This study employed Kendall's tau correlation test to analyze the data. The result showed that the role of midwives is mainly in the good category (66%) while the media information is also in the good category (58%). Most of the respondents had sufficient knowledge (37%), the attitude of respondents in implementing the COVID-19 health protocol had a positive category (52%), and the behavior of the respondents mostly had a good category (54%). This study concludes that there is a significant correlation between the role of midwives to knowledge (p=0.009), attitudes (p=0.003), and behavior (p=0.000) of postpartum mothers. There is a significant correlation between information media and knowledge (p=0.042) and behavior (p=0.012) of postpartum mothers. However, there is no significant correlation between information media and the attitude (p=0.756) of postpartum mothers regarding the COVID-19 health protocol.

Blood that contains less iron can cause anemia. This nutritional case is the most common in almost all countries, including Indonesia. Female adolescents are more at risk of anemia due to stress, eating late, and losing large amounts of iron during menstruation. One part of the moringa plant (Moringa oleifera), namely the leaves, is believed to increase hemoglobin levels. The method of attracting adolescents to moringa leaf is by processing the moringa leaf becomes a snack called moringa leaf cilok. This research aims to determine the hemoglobin level of adolescent girls who experience anemia before and after being given moringa leaves cilok. This is experimental research with one group pre-post test design from October to November 2021 in Mataram. The subjects in this research are female adolescents with anemia who met the sample criteria. The sample used is n1=n2=32 respondents. The treatment group received moringa leaf cilok and was controlled tablets by giving iron tablets. The data collected was processed by a nonparametric test. The results show an effect of giving moringa leaf cilok on the hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls (p>0.05). The content of iron and vitamin C in moringa leaves cilok has increased hemoglobin levels. This research concludes that moringa leaf cilok can increase hemoglobin levels in female adolescents. Therefore, consuming moringa leaves cilok regularly can be used to treat anemia.

The increasing incidence of COVID-19 cases caused anxiety for medical workers. Knowledge about COVID-19 is an element that works on medical workers' anxiety levels, including midwives. This study aimed to analyze midwives' knowledge about COVID-19 to the midwives' anxiety in providing midwifery care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This correlational analytic study was conducted between August and October 2021 in RSUD Kabupaten Kediri. A self-administered questionnaire containing knowledge and Zung Self-Anxiety Rating Scale questions was distributed to 45 respondents to complete. The correlation between midwives' knowledge about COVID-19 in midwives' anxiety was examined using Kendall's tau correlation test. The outcomes pointed out that most respondents had good knowledge of approximately COVID-19 (89%), and most of the respondents had moderate anxiety (84%). The analysis showed that there had been a correlation between knowledge about COVID-19 to the anxiety of midwives in providing care. The correlation coefficient value of −0.235 with a significance level of 0.036 indicated that the better the knowledge, the lighter the anxiety of the midwives. Therefore, it's essential to increase the understanding of midwives about COVID-19 and to review other factors that can affect the anxiety of midwives in providing care.

The best primary nutrition for babies is breast milk. Exclusive Breastfeeding is given since the baby is born for six months. Breastfeeding proofed to reduce infant mortality and morbidity. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still low at around 37.3%. The cause of the low number of breastfeeding is the lack of information obtained by the mother, affecting the mother's knowledge and belief. Breastfeeding mothers need the correct information. This information can be obtained from lactation counseling provided by health workers. This study aims to analyze the effect of counseling on knowledge, mothers' self-confidence, and breastfeeding ability in postpartum mothers. This research was conducted in July–September 2021 in the working area of the Sukaluyu Public Health Center, Cianjur regency. This research method uses a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only with a control group design—the sample in this study was 60 respondents, primigravida mothers aged 37 weeks to 1 month postpartum. The analysis used is the t-test and the Mann-Whitney test. This study uses three instruments: knowledge, self-confidence in the form of a Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Form (BSESF) questionnaire, and a breastfeeding ability observation sheet. The study results on mothers' knowledge in the intervention group were higher, namely 26, and there was a significant difference between the knowledge of the two groups (p=0.03). There are differences in the beliefs of breastfeeding mothers after being given counseling (p=0.001). There is no difference in the mothers' ability of the two groups after counseling (p=1.000). In conclusion, lactation counseling using video media increases the knowledge and confidence of breastfeeding mothers compared to those given standard care.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic. This disease damages the lung and resulting mild to severe pneumonia. This study aimed to determine the value of the Brixia score for predicting mortality and length of stay of COVID-19 confirmed patients. The study design was case-control with secondary data from digital medical records of COVID-19 confirmed patients (December 2020 to February 2021). All patients' chest x-rays (CXR) were scored using the Brixia score. Logistic regression and the Spearman rank correlation test were used to identify mortality and length of stay predictors. There were 636 subjects included in this study, with the proportion of deceased patients (case group) being 20.3% (95% CI=17.33, 23.59%). Most CXR findings had signs of pneumonia (95.1%), including ground-glass opacities (GGOs) mixed with consolidation. The distribution of GGOs and consolidation were most frequent in the peripheral of survived patients (83.9%), while the deceased group had peripheral involvements mixed with medial (45.0%) and bilateral (22.2%). The mean Brixia score in the group of decease patients was significantly higher than the group of survived patients (11.95 vs 6.73, p=0.00). Brixia score had an OR of 1.14, 95% CI=1.07, 1.21 after adjusting by age, SpO2 level, and comorbid. The chance of dying was higher than 50% if the Brixia score reached to score of 15 (probability=49%, 95% CI=41, 56%). However, the Brixia score has no significant correlation with length of stay (rho=0.05, p=0.24). In conclusion, the CXR Brixia score can predict mortality, but it can not predict the length of stay of hospitalized COVID-19 confirmed patients.
