Abstract

One of the social problems solving the direct impact on the community is overcoming household food security due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze household food security during the COVID-19 pandemic and link it to the nutrient intake and nutritional status of children under five in the Kupang district area. This cross-sectional study is based on a survey conducted on the Timorese population in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, from May to October 2021. Data on household dietary diversity was collected through the 24-hour food recall using the household dietary diversity score (HDDS). The study sample was taken from Timorese population families with toddlers under five years, and 1,444 families voluntarily participated in this study. Subjects were taken at each public health using a simple random method. This study analyzes the Spearman correlation test with the HDDS and the proportion of food expenditure. A 63% of households had a balance of less cost (<50%) with an average of 63.9. Generally, households (90.4%) had a pretty good diet diversity score. Food groups that were relatively highly consumed by most households included cereals (100%), sugar and sweeteners (90.2%), oils and fats (93.7%), seasonings, and spices (89.4%). A significant effect with p<0.05 was on HDDS during the COVID-19 pandemic. The food consumption score is another indicator widely used in determining household food security. Therefore, it is necessary to revalidate tests in further studies of these indicators.

Abstract

Executive function is a crucial cognitive domain that can be adversely affected by various toxic substances, including the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate. Although it's known that indoxyl sulfate has harmful effects on intra or extra-kidney organs, its impact on executive function remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate indoxyl sulfate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis and to understand its correlation with executive function impairments. This observational cross-sectional study was conducted at the Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang Hemodialysis Unit from March to July 2022; 60 patients undergoing hemodialysis and 20 healthy controls participated. Executive function was assessed using the Trail Making Test B (TMT-B). Indoxyl sulfate levels were quantified using an ELISA assay with the Assay Genie kit. The Mann-Whitney test set statistical significance at a p<0.05. The average age of the subjects was 51.4±11.4 years, with 53% being male. The mean indoxyl sulfate levels were considerably higher in the CKD group (118.79 ng/ml, range: 11–1,709 ng/ml) compared to the control group (6.028±1.829 ng/ml), with a significant difference (p<0.001). Impaired executive function was observed in 75% of the CKD patients. The average indoxyl sulfate level was 165.12 ng/ml (range: 29–1,709 ng/mL) in the impaired executive function group and 71.22 ng/ml (range: 11–333 ng/mL) in the group with normal executive function, indicating a significant difference (p=0.013). Patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis exhibit elevated serum indoxyl sulfate levels compared to healthy individuals. Moreover, CKD patients with impaired executive function have notably higher indoxyl sulfate levels than those with normal executive function. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanistic links between indoxyl sulfate and cognitive impairments.

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak of a coronavirus that causes illness shocked the world. Health precautions must be implemented to limit the number of COVID-19 cases or prevent transmission. This study aims to ascertain the public's perception of the COVID-19 case in the community. This report is one of the findings of a survey of the association between comorbidities and preventative behavior in COVID-19 cases, specifically public perceptions of COVID-19 cases in Bogor city. This study took place from March through the end of September 2020. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews utilizing a guideline developed based on the parameters of a qualitative study. The prior recommendations were validated, and the data was represented using transcripts and a data matrix to aid in the descriptive data analysis. According to a study on public views of COVID-19, individuals realize the risks they face if they do not adhere to the government's health protocols. According to quantitative data, the proper use of masks when outside the home is only 18.0%, the correct use of hand sanitizers is 26.2%, the correct use of soap is 80.3%, the proper use of hand sanitizers is 90.2%, and the correct coughing and sneezing behavior is 60.7%. In general, research data findings have not been encouraging for COVID-19 prevention; therefore, you will be prone to COVID-19 infection if you disregard health regulations, particularly by correctly wearing masks. As a result, in general, the findings of public perception have not been able to diminish the number of COVID-19 instances.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy can lead to complications during gestation, childbirth, and postpartum. The government recommends administering at least 90 Fe tablets to pregnant women to address this. Additionally, fulfilling nutritional needs is another strategy to combat anemia, with Moringa leaves emerging as a nutrient-rich food source known to elevate hemoglobin levels. This study investigated the impact of Moringa leaves and combined Fe tablet consumption on hemoglobin levels in anemic pregnant women. A quasi-experimental design incorporated pre-test and post-test evaluations with a control group in Bengkulu from June to November 2022. Purposive sampling yielded a cohort of 60 anemic pregnant women, divided equally into intervention and control groups. Data collected over two months were analyzed through univariate and bivariate methods using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests at a 5% significance level. Findings indicated that the combination of Moringa leaves and Fe tablet significantly increased hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia (p<0.05). Therefore, anemic pregnant women are encouraged to consume Moringa leaves as a potential measure to enhance their hemoglobin levels.

Abstract

TGF-β and VEGF are vital in cell proliferation and regeneration, as evidenced in processes like wound healing. The leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam exhibit anti-inflammatory and cell regenerative properties that may facilitate the transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase, enhancing wound repair. This research sought to discern the potential of orally administered moringa leaf extract in augmenting systemic wound healing, focusing on TGF-β and VEGF serum as in vivo molecular markers. This research was conducted at the Animal Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, and the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Universitas Padjadjaran, from January to March 2022. We divided thirty Swiss Webster mice into two categories: healthy and wound-treated. Wounded mice received 100 mg/kgBW Na CMC as a negative control, 500 mg/kgBW zinc syrup as a positive control, and M. oleifera leaves ethanol extract (MOLE) in doses of 280 and 560 mg/kgBW orally from day 3 to day 6. Wound progression was documented and measured on days 0, -1, -3, and -6. Day-6 blood samples were obtained, and TGF-β and VEGF serum levels were gauged using ELISA. Results from day 6 revealed that wound coverage in the 280 and 560 mg/kgBW MOLE groups was 13.76±5% and 13.38±4%, respectively. These percentages notably surpassed that of the negative control group (p=0.005). However, the TGF-β and VEGF serum levels in the MOLE-treated groups did not differ significantly from the negative control (p=0.081 and p=0.149, respectively). Thus, the study concludes that while MOLE expedites wound closure, it does so without the systemic involvement of TGF-β and VEGF in vivo.

Abstract

Many psychological problems arise when facing retirement due to unpreparedness during this period. Unpreparedness is commonly triggered by their fears of being unable to meet primary and secondary needs. Physical issues such as retirement health are essential, but paying attention to psychological problems is also necessary. Research on the well-being of retirees needs to be done to see what factors influence both internally and externally. This study aims to test the retirement well-being model in terms of such aspects as gratitude, forgiveness, and social support mediated by self-efficacy. This study used the structure equation model (SEM) approach with a sample of 220 retirees aged at least 55 through a convenience sampling technique. The data was collected in Bandung and its surroundings for six months, from August 2019 to March 2020, through well-being, gratitude, forgiveness, social support, and self-efficacy scales. The results of the research model tested have a good fit with empirical data and meet the goodness of fit requirements. There is a direct influence of gratitude, social support, and self-efficacy on well-being. There is an indirect effect of social support on well-being through self-efficacy. The value of the indirect effect is smaller than the direct effect, meaning that self-efficacy is not a good mediator variable for social support for well-being. In conclusion, most retirees experience well-being due to social support from their environment and their gratitude and self-efficacy. The well-being of retirees can be increased by appreciation, having social support from the environment, and having confidence in one's ability to deal with problems.

Abstract

Healthcare workers (HCWs) represent a significant demographic for screening latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) due to their potential exposure to infectious patients. Tests based on immunology detection, such as the tuberculin skin test (TST) and the interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), have been pivotal in diagnosing LTBI. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the IGRA test in detecting LTBI compared to the TST among HCWs in an infectious disease hospital. In a cross-sectional study conducted in August 2019 at the Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital, we examined 84 HCWs selected through consecutive sampling. Participants were assessed using questionnaires, and the IGRA and TST tests were performed. The findings revealed that 42 (50%) HCWs tested positive for LTBI based on the IGRA test. Most were female, aged 36–45 years, had direct exposure to TB patients, and had been in the healthcare profession for over a decade. The concordance between the TST and IGRA test, as indicated by a κ value, was 0.234. Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between the incidence of LTBI and the duration of the healthcare profession (p=0.016). In conclusion, our research suggests that both TST and IGRA tests can effectively detect LTBI. The IGRA test had a higher positivity rate among HCWs with over ten years of service.

Abstract

Indonesia ranks 6th with the highest number of online gamers in Asia and 12th in the world gaming market. When online gamers become addicted, they lose the ability to halt or control their gaming behavior, leading to problematic behavior. Decision-making processes at the cognitive level are considered relevant in various addictive behaviors, including inappropriate gaming behavior. Exploratory research can be conducted using a qualitative technique, with data collected through in-depth interviews, to acquire an in-depth understanding of the comparison of the interaction process of each cognitive component in decision-making to play online games. This research was conducted in Bandung from December 2021 to December 2022. Steps are needed to develop guidelines that explore the functioning of affective and cognitive responses (coping, cognitive and affective bias, and craving and urge) and executive and inhibitory control. The guideline used a cognitive theoretical framework in addictive behavior, namely the I-PACE model, with a multidimensional theoretical basis. Through theoretical deepening, it was derived as a guideline divided into three main aspects, four sub-aspects, 32 main questions, and 36 probing questions.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is transmitted from human to human and primarily via the respiratory route; hence, wearing a mask is the first step in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Behind the benefits of these masks are adverse consequences on the skin, such as lesions and acne. This study aims to ascertain the relationship between students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the use of masks on the occurrence of maskne. This research is a cross-sectional analytic observational study. The research subjects were 100 students from the Universitas Mataram's 2018 class, from November 2020 to January 2022, using a stratified random sampling technique—data collection from primary data via a Google Form. Data analysis was carried out by testing the lambda hypothesis. In this study, 38% (n=38) of the respondents reported maskne, while 62% (n=62) reported not maskne. Among the respondents who reported not maskne, the majority mentioned having good knowledge, positive attitudes, and good practice. The lambda hypothesis analysis indicates significant correlations between students' knowledge (p=0.004), attitudes (p=0.001), and practices (p=0.006) regarding mask usage and the occurrence of maskne. A relationship exists between students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding mask usage and maskne occurrences.

Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a non-communicable disease that is the main cause of death and loss of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) globally. Patients can experience various complications that affect the severity of the disease. Various factors, especially self-management behavior, can influence the severity of CAD patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-management behavior and the severity of CAD in Dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital Banda Aceh. This study used a cross-sectional design from March 28 to May 19, 2023. The sample consisted of 221 CHD patients who had undergone coronary angiography, were selected using purposive sampling, and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was collected through guided interviews using the self-management scale (CSMS) and syntax score. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Data analysis showed a significant relationship between self-management behavior and the severity of CAD. Daily life management (p=0.000, OR=5.334), disease management (p=0.000, OR=2.633), and emotional management (p=0.000, OR=2.047) were associated with the severity of CAD. Logistic regression indicated that daily life management was the most dominant factor associated with the severity of CAD (OR=5.334). Good daily life, disease, and emotional management can help reduce the risk of complications and improve the prognosis of CAD patients. Self-management behavior, particularly daily life management, is significantly related to the severity of CAD in Dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital patients.
