Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a cumulative growth and development disorder caused by inadequate nutritional intake, recurrent infectious diseases, or both. RISKESDAS data for 2018 recorded a national stunting prevalence of 30.8%, and Dilem Village, Malang Regency, is one of the loci for stunting in Indonesia in 2020. Anthropometry is a growth monitoring method for assessing children's nutritional status and one of the activities at Posyandu, is organized and led by cadres. Hence, it is important to increase the knowledge of Posyandu cadres to achieve the accuracy of children's nutritional status. Aim: The goal of this study was to determine the effect of short course intervention in the knowledge levels of Posyandu cadres in Dilem Village on early detection of stunting and anthropometric measurements of child. Method: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of short course intervention in the knowledge levels of Posyandu cadres in Dilem Village on early detection of stunting before and after course This study was a pre-experimental study using one group of pre-posttest designs to assess the knowledge of 20 Dilem village cadres for early detection of stunting and correct anthropometric measurements before and after the intervention. Result: The results showed an increase of pre and posttest increase in score 16.5 points (p<0.001). Conclusion: So, it can be concluded that short course intervention can improve cadre’s knowledge on early detection of stunting.

Abstract

Introduction: Bacterial vaginosis is a common vaginal dysbiosis in women of reproductive age. Bacterial vaginosis is a dysbiosis characterized by a reduction of Lactobacillus species, such as L. crispatus, L. gasseri, and L. Jensenii. Anti-microbial resistance of BV pathogens and low long-term cure rates have been increasing in the few years. Aim: Probiotics are proposed as an alternative treatment for BV applying live micro-organisms with the capacity to confer health benefits to the patient. Methods: Patients with white discharge per vagina with or without foul smell, and itching visiting Obstetrics and Gynecology OPD are subjected to Amsel criteria. Those test positive for 3 out of 4 are diagnosed to have bacterial vaginosis and were enrolled in the study. Result: Highest prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was at the age group of 26-30 years (28%), with the lowest prevalence (16%) above 40 years of age. Among group A (probiotics),  68% and 32% of women were in not working and working groups, respectively, when compared with group B (antibiotics), 64% and 36% of women were in not working and working groups. Nulligravida (28% and 32%), Singleton Pregnancy (32% and 16%) in Group A and Group B. We observed that patients treated with both antibiotics (50%) and probiotics (50%) had similar recurrence rates of BV. Conclusion: Hence it would be prudent to prefer probiotics in patients with BV, as they colonize other normal commensals and have similar efficacy as that of antibiotics. The other beneficial factors of probiotics include acceptability to patients and nil side effect profile.

Abstract

Introduction: Over half of disabled children (53%) suffer from oral and dental health problems (Alwadi et al., 2022) due to poor attention from healthcare providers. Aims: Determine the level of family awareness of oral and dental healthcare methods for 5-16-year-old disabled children in Saudi Arabia. Methods: To achieve the study objective, the descriptive method by the social survey method was used. The required ethical approvals of centers and associations caring for people with disabilities in the region were obtained. These centers cooperated in publishing the study tool through social media applications; the questionnaire link was distributed to a sample of (312) parents of children aged 5-16 years with disabilities in Najran region, south of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in October and November of 2022. Results: There was a weak level of family awareness of the methods of oral and dental healthcare for children aged 5-16 years with disabilities. Also, statistically significant differences at α = 0.05 were found in the level of family awareness of the methods of oral and dental healthcare for children aged 5-16 years with nature of the relationship with the child disability in favor of mothers and the academic qualification in favor of the university academic qualification. Nevertheless, the respondents’ answers did not differ by their child’s type of disability.  Conclusion: The study recommended developing a comprehensive national strategic plan supervised by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social Development to reduce the risk of oral and dental diseases.

Abstract

Introduction: Health practitioners have tried to reduce the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, which increases globally every year, but the result has not been optimal yet. Meanwhile, the indigenous people of the Dayak tribe from Borneo Island of Indonesia believe that the Bajakah plant (Spatolobus littoralis Hassk) can treat many diseases, including reducing blood glucose. However, the effect of the Bajakah stem plant extract on blood glucose regulation is still vague. Aims: Therefore, our animal-experimental research aimed to test the effect of the Bajakah stem plant extract using streptozotocin-induced Wistar male rats. Methods: We grouped the rats into K1, K2 (negative and positive control groups, respectively), P1, P2, and P3 (with additional Bajakah stem extract 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg body weight, respectively), with each group consisted of five rats. We collected blood glucose and insulin level at baseline (T1) and end of the intervention (T2). Results: This study found the highest mean ± standard deviation of insulin level was in the C2 group (5.10±0.84 µU/mL) and the lowest value in the X3 group (3.65±0.41 µU/mL). However, we found a significant difference in the blood glucose level at baseline and the end of the intervention (p<0.001). The highest reduction means value on blood glucose level was in the X3 group (T1: 471.40±89.24 mg/dL; T2: 122.80±12.50 mg/dL). Conclusion: The Bajakah stem plant's extract intervention affects the blood glucose level of Wistar male rats, possibly through the free radical's protection effect on the target cell receptor that binds to insulin and glucose.

Abstract

Introduction: Compared to earlier times, university students are showing low physical activity levels. Compared to university students in the USA, students at Indian higher education institutions are 30% less physically active. The habits and beliefs formed at this stage of life are expected to have a long-term influence. Yoga is considered an alternative therapy effective in improving physical and mental health. Assessing the factors influencing university students' yoga adoption intentions is essential. Aims: To evaluate the selected university students' physical activity level and the mediating role of cues to action. Methods: The research design is cross-sectional and causal. The response of 120 university students was collected. The analysis is based on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), and the software used includes SmartPLS and Microsoft Excel. Results – The study confirms the full mediation role of cue to action on the relationship between positive attitude for yoga and behavioral intentions to adopt yoga (effect = 0.179, t = 3.098, p < 0.002). Similarly, cue to action partially mediates the relationship between friend's support for yoga and behavioral intentions to adopt yoga (effect = 0.102, t = 2.34, p < 0.019). Conclusion: The university administrators should increase the cue to action for adopting health promotion behavior, including yoga at all levels, i.e., individual, relationships, community, social and policy making. To begin with, interventions such as developing educational videos, mandatory health promotion courses, and a buddy system can be started.

Abstract

Introduction: The impact of the pandemic on adolescents' lives showed that 55.1% stress and 40% anxiety due to online learning along with an increase in teenage pregnancy. Aims: To determine the predictive index of risk variables for teen pregnancy throughout the COVID-19 pandemic's online learning period. Methods: This type of research is analytic observational utilizing a case-control design. Using simple random sampling, the case sample was 40 pregnant adolescents and 80 non-pregnant controls for the Indonesian Regency of Ngawi from July 2021 until January 2022. Once each variable was significant, multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed (p < 0.05) as predictors of teenage pregnancy. Results: The findings revealed that the variables as indicators of the risk of teenage pregnancy were courtship behavior, access to reproductive health media, and parenting. The predictive index of teen pregnancy risk factors was (-7.248 + 3.833 x low risk dating + 7.726 x severe risk dating + 2.773 x access 1 media + 2.773 x access 2/more media + 3.871 x authoritarian and permissive parenting). The high probability of teenage pregnancy with an opportunity value above 0.5 is in adolescents with dating behavior or parenting patterns that show the highest risk, namely high-risk dating behavior or adolescents with authoritarian and permissive parenting patterns. Conclusion: It is hoped that this index can be considered and used as a measuring tool in assisting in reproductive health programs, in screening adolescents so that it can be known early on that adolescents have an increased risk of pregnancy.
