Abstract

Introduction: Glaucoma is known as a thief of sight due to its progressive visual field loss with symptoms typically manifesting only at advanced stages. Visual field loss, particularly peripheral vision, can affect patients’ quality of life (QoL) in performing activities of daily living. Glaucoma cases are predicted to rise by 74% worldwide between 2013 and 2040. Aims: Assess the correlation between the degree of visual field loss and disturbance in activities of daily living in glaucoma outpatients. Methods: A total of 60 patients from Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital were interviewed using the NEI VFQ-25 on near vision, distance vision, peripheral vision, social function, driving, and dependency subscales. Visual field loss was assessed using the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (HFA) and categorized based on the Hodapp, Parish, and Anderson (HPA) classification using the better-eye mean deviation value. Meanwhile, Spearman’s rank correlation was used to determine the correlation between the patients’ visual field loss and NEI VFQ-25 interview results. Results: Significant moderate correlations were observed between visual field loss and the social function (r = 0.545) and dependency (r = 0.483) subscales. Significant weak correlations were observed in the near vision (r = 0.351), distance vision (r = 0.383), and peripheral vision (r = 0.398) subscales. An insignificant weak correlation was observed in the driving subscale (r = 0.262). Conclusion: Visual field loss in glaucoma patients is associated with impaired performance in activities of daily living, with the severity of limitation increasing in line with the progression of visual field loss.

Abstract

Introduction: The global prevalence of e-cigarette use among adolescents (11.3%) is increasing, primarily driven by exposure to promotional content on social media platforms. Aims: This study aimed to examine how exposure to e-cigarette content, content type, e-cigarette-related activity within the content, and knowledge about e-cigarettes influence adolescents’ intention to use e-cigarettes. Method: This survey-based study was conducted in Surakarta, Central Java, in November 2024. A total of 260 junior and senior high school students were selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate the relationships between variables. Results: The analysis indicated that exposure to e-cigarette content significantly increased the intention to use e-cigarettes (p < 0.001). In contrast, higher levels of knowledge about e-cigarettes were significantly associated with a lower intention to use them (p = 0.020). However, neither the type of content nor the presence of e-cigarette-related activity within the content showed a significant association with use intention (p = 0.501 and p = 0.162, respectively). The logistic regression model accounted for 25% to 34% of the variance in e-cigarette use intention, suggesting a moderate explanatory power. Conclusion: These findings underscore the significant influence of e-cigarette content exposure and adolescents’ knowledge levels on their intention to use e-cigarettes. While exposure increases the likelihood of use, adequate knowledge appears to reduce it. Therefore, reducing adolescents’ exposure to e-cigarette content and improving their awareness of the associated health risks may serve as effective strategies to prevent e-cigarette initiation.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes is a serious problem, and a solution is being sought. Traditional ingredients have been proven to contain many substances that can be used to prevent and treat diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a combination of Phaleria macrocarpa and Averrhoa bilimbi L extracts on fasting blood glucose levels. Methods: A randomized, post-test-controlled group design was used. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was induced in 36 Sprague Dawley rats by feeding them a high-fat diet for 2 weeks, followed by the administration of streptozotocin and nicotinamide to induce type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The rats were divided into six groups: CN, C-, C+, T1, T2, and T3. The treatment was administered for 21 days, and fasting blood glucose levels were measured. The data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey's HSD test. Results: The combined dose of Phaleria macrocarpa and Averrhoa bilimbi Lextract effectively reduced fasting blood glucose levels over a 21-day period. Group T1 demonstrated the highest efficacy and did not differ significantly from that of the C+ group. The effective dosage that influenced fasting blood glucose levels was a combination of Phaleria macroca at 750 mg/kg W/day and Averrhoa bilimbi L at 375 mg/kg. Conclusion: Phaleria macrocarpa and Averrhoa bilimbi L extract have a synergistic effect that makes them a promising natural medication for controlling blood glucose levels. Further investigation is required to investigate the underlying mechanisms and assess the long-term consequences of this combination therapy.

Abstract

Introduction:  The flavonoid content in shallot skin is 2–10 g/kg higher than that in the edible portion, with < 0.03 to 1 g/kg. Aims: To determine flavonoid (quercetin) content and yeast and mold contamination in duck meat soaked in shallot (Allium ascalonicum) skin waste. Methods: The sample was shallot skin waste from 14 districts in Brebes Regency, Indonesia. Analysis was performed in several steps, including the production of shallot skin flour and measurement of flavonoid (quercetin) levels using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. This study analyzed the amount of yeast mold growth on duck meat after soaking in shallot skin waste extract and the test data obtained will be analyzed descriptively and presented in the form of a table. Results: The average flavonoid (quercetin) content in the shallot skin waste was 4.33% w/w. The lowest flavonoid (quercetin) content in the Sirampog district was 4.29% w/w and the highest quercetin content was 4.40% w/w in the Wanasari district. The mold and yeast contamination levels varied among treatments, with treatment 1 having the highest contamination rate of 96 colonies/g, followed by treatments 2 and 3 with contamination rates of 20 and 15 colonies/g, respectively, and treatment 4 having contamination rates of 3 colonies per gram. Conclusion: The flavonoid content of shallot skin waste varied across the districts. Mold and yeast contamination levels were significantly different among the treatments, with treatment 1 showing the highest contamination rate. Treatment 4 resulted in a very rapid reduction in the number of molds and yeast (3 colonies).

Abstract

Introduction: Intelligence level is a person's ability to think and respond to things logically, purposefully, and to control and manage the environment more effectively. Nutritional status and parenting of children affect the level of child's carelessness. Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2018 showed the nutritional status of children aged 5-12 years, where 26.8% were anemic (children aged 5-14 years), 23.6% were short, 10.8% were fat, 9.2% were think, and 9.2% were obese. Aims: The researcher hopes to determine how parenting and nutritional status affect elementary school students' Intelligence Quotient (IQ). Methods: Purposive sampling strategies are used in this cross-sectional study design. The number of samples in this study is 77 samples. Results: The result found the effect of nutritional status on children's intelligence level (p=0.006; OR 95% CI 4.17 (1.51-11.52) vs Parenting with intelligence level (p=0.343; OR 95% CI 1.35 (0.72-2.54). Nutritional status is something that greatly affects the development of a child's brain so that it can be ensured that good nutritional intake can increase the level of intelligence of children. Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to increase counseling programs and also continue existing government programs, such as counseling for mothers or parents related to balanced nutrition, providing counseling on making balanced nutritional foods, increasing the budget in providing supplementary feeding that contains high protein, and hence, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program to reduce the malnutrition rate can be achieved in order to create healthy and intelligent children for the nation's successors.

Abstract

Introduction: From primary data, it was found that 65% of solid waste generation occurred in 12 hospitals in West Sumatra. "2,839 health facilities in West Sumatra, produced 1,899.15 tonnes of medical solid waste including hazardous and toxic materials (B3)," the government stated in March 2020. If nothing is done to address this poor waste management, it will negatively affect society. It is difficult for hospital managers to improve the waste processing system because the      stages or factors that have a significant impact on poor waste processing are unknown. Aims: This research aims to find an appropriate medical solid waste treatment model that can be used in hospitals by analyzing the stages and      factors involved in processing medical solid waste. Method: Structural Equation Modeling analysis was used in this cross-sectional research. The population      study was 12 hospitals and the research sample was taken by calculating Wayne      W. Daniel's formula to obtain 120 hospital waste treatment officers. This study started in September 2021 to March 2022. Primary data was collected by writing notes from observations by recording the results of observations, documentation, asking sources, and questionnaires filled out by waste managers and waste cleaning officers. Results: The research results show that of the 4 independent variables      influencing      medical solid waste processing, storage is the most dominant factor affecting waste     processing. Conclusion: Sorting and storage variables influence poor hospital waste management in West Sumatra.

Abstract

Introduction: Elderly exhibit an increased for health complications, including obesity and hypertension (HT).. Obesity has been demonstrated to increase the risk of HT and the mechanism is also often influenced by gender. Aims: The study aimed to analyze the association between obesity and hypertension among elderly in nursing home stratified by gender. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 54 elderly subjects in nursing home. A sphygmomanometer was used to assess blood pressure (BIA) and a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to determine nutritional status includingbody mass index (BMI), body fat (BF), visceral fat (VF), and subcutaneous fat (SF). Analysis of data was performed using an independent t-test and Pearson correlation test. Results: Mean age of respondents was 71.28 ± 8.21, dominated by women (75.9%), and 27.8% had hypertension. Dietary intake indicate excess sodium intake, while potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vegetables, and fruits intake remain low. All indicators of nutritional status assessment differ significantly by gender except BMI. However, the present study found that BMI is the only variable associated with systolic BP (p=0.023). Stratified by gender, it was found that BW, BMI, and VF in women were related to systolic BP (p=0.022; p=0.015; p=0.040; respectively), and no such relationship was observed in men. Conclusion: It is proven that obesity and hypertension were more prevalent among elderly women. It is imperative to check nutritional statusfor preventive action for other diseases, including hypertension.

Abstract

Introduction: To achieve an ideal and satisfactory level of health for the community, it is very important to provide high-quality services provided by health professionals. Therefore, health workers are expected to show high performance. Based on the 2023 Indonesian Health Profile, 11.5% of community health centers have a shortage of health workers, namely doctors. Timor Leste does not yet have higher education in nursing, so the number of nurses needed is still insufficient. Aims: to analyze the influence of health worker performance on human resource development in the Indonesian and Timor Leste Public Health Services. Methods: A study was conducted involving 43 health professionals. The tool used was a survey conducted through Google Forms. This study used chi-square to investigate the correlation between the two variables and logistic regression to identify the parameters most strongly associated with the performance of health workers. Result: The research findings show that in bivariate analysis, training and work motivation have an impact on the performance of health workers. However, in multivariate analysis, training emerged as the most significant component, with a p-value of 0.021, an odds ratio of 7.173, and a 95% confidence interval of 1.338-8.458. Conclusion: The performance of health workers is largely influenced by their level of training. Health workers with superior training showed 7,173 times more effective performance compared to health workers with poor training. Carrying out regular and continuous training, tailored to the health needs of workers, so that they can master their field of work.
