Abstract

Background: Pain is quite often felt in approximately 30 to 50% of people with diabetic neuropathy. As a result, the quality of life is low, indicated by the high morbidity and mortality rates. The availability of symptomatic pharmacological agents has the potential to have side effects and adverse effects in the elderly and in addition to the high risk of addiction. Complementary therapy and alternative medicine in chronic pain are clinically safe, cost-effective, and affordable. However, scientific evidence of its effectiveness is limited.Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the intervention modalities and the effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine therapy in diabetic neuropathy pain.Methods: The searched literature databases included PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, EBSCO host, DOAJ, Clinical Key for Nursing, and Cochrane. The criteria for the article, among others, focus on complementary therapy and alternative medicine in diabetic neuropathy pain, publications in the last five years, full text, and in English. Results: Fifteen articles were identified in reporting the effectiveness of complementary therapy and alternative medicine in reducing diabetic neuropathy pain, including mindfulness-based stress reduction, mindfulness meditation, relaxation, whole-body vibration, Abzan, aerobic resistance training, nano curcumin, Citrullus colocynthis, dietary, acupuncture, laser, and reflexology.Conclusion: Most scientific evidence reports the effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine therapies in reducing pain in diabetic neuropathy, thus strengthening its application as an adjunct to conventional medicine is needed.

Abstract

Background: Various water-borne diseases have been seen in developed and developing countries, like  Coliform bacteria in food and drink due to their poor making.Objective: This study aims to estimate the hygiene factors and examine the content of Coliform bacteria and in Thai Tea drinks in Yogyakarta Municipality.Methods: A cross-sectional method was used in all Thai Tea product sellers in Yogyakarta Municipality from September to November 2020. A total of 30 sellers were included, and 30 different types of Thai Tea products were tested using the Most Probably Number (MPN) method at the Health and Calibration Laboratory Center, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and Fisher exact test were used for data analysis.Results: Laboratory tests showed half of Thai Tea products contaminated with Coliform bacteria more than MPN/100ML. Of all Thai Tea sellers, about 83.3% of them were never hygiene food sanitation training. Findings also show that the seller's hygiene sanitation was significantly associated with the existence of Coliform bacteria in Thai Tea (Crude OR=0.44, 95% CI=0.20-0.98). The sellers with poor sanitation facilities were four times more likely to have Coliform bacteria in their Thai Tea products (Crude OR=4.0, 95% CI=1.41-11.35). Meanwhile, hygiene food sanitation training and location of selling did not have a significant relationship with the presence of Coliform in Thai Tea.Conclusion: In sum, the existence of Coliform in Thai Tea drinks in the city of Yogyakarta is influenced by the hygiene sanitation and sanitation facility. Training on personal hygiene for each seller is necessary to obtain Thai Tea products that contain Coliform bacteria according to standards. This is very useful to do to reduce food-borne disease. This study was funded by Ahmad Dahlan University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is an indirect cause of death for pregnant women and women in labor due to bleeding. One of the inabilities of the uterine muscles to contract is caused by anemia. The use of integrated service posts or Posyandu, especially in the fourth and fifth steps as a stage of individual health promotion, should prevent anemia in mothers.Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of midwives in the implementation of the fifth stage of function in integrated service posts in relation to preventing anemia in mothers.Methods: This was a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach conducted from January to November 2020. The participants consisted of eight midwives, two nutritionists, one laboratory analyst, six cadres, and two pregnant women. The participants were selected using accidental sampling in the Poasia Public Health Center working area, Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi of Indonesia.Results: The results showed two themes related to the implementation of the fifth stage of the integrated service post activities: pregnancy examination and treatment of anemia.Conclusion: The implementation of the fifth stage in the integrated service postal service has been carried out maximally utilizing the resources owned by the public health center and the community. However, midwives receive additional burdens for its implementation because cadres are less able to provide health education for pregnant women, especially regarding anemia. The study was supported by the Research and Community Engagement Directory (DRPM) of the Republic of Indonesia.

Abstract

Objective: This study reviewed the current state of knowledge of female garment workers' (FGWs) personal understandings and their experiences of their human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) experiences in selected low to middle-income countries (LMIC).Methods: Relevant literature on FGWs health on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV within selected LMIC published between 1988 and 2020 carried out, and a systematic review search technique used, utilizing the PRISMA protocol. Significant and relevant information from selected articles obtained and presented existing literature in the method of new outcomes as well as critically interpret existing outcomes. The themes and keywords were examined in the abstract and title of literature extracted using the aforementioned search engines.Results: Major causes of HIV vulnerability of FGWs are poverty (low wages), gender inequality, drug abuse, multiple sex partners, lack of knowledge on STIs/HIV, low use of condoms, and rape violence found in selected LMIC.Conclusion: For empowering FGWs, health education/workplace intervention is crucial, comprising prevention of sexual harassment, workplace violence (WPV), and intimate partner violence (IPV) related training by government sectors, non-government organizations (NGOs), and civil society. A good surveillance system on key populations, including FGWs, and a good public health system in every country is the key and acts very fast for prevention of STIs and HIV on FGWs and contribute to guide policymakers and researchers and improve FGWs health in LIMC.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic that may complicate the active detection of Tuberculosis (TB) and increase the mortality rate. This pushes for more effective and efficient case finding to mitigate the possible growing number of TB mortality.Objective: The purpose of this research was to identify TB among workers and to analyze the correlation between human, environmental, behavioral, and economic factors with TB findings among workers during the COVID-19 period.Methods: This research employed a case-control method conducted from January to December 2020. In total, 120 employees were included in this research. The employees were divided into two groups, sixty workers were involved in the TB case group, and another sixty workers were in the control group. We reported TB patients from several Public Health Center (Puskesmas) in each regency of South Sumatera, Indonesia. Sputum testing was performed by the rapid molecular tests (GeneXpert) and Ziehl-Neelsen to confirm the diagnosis of TB infection. We performed a Chi-square analysis to analyze factors that can influence TB cases.Results: In comparison to the control group, we found the association of age, body mass index, occupation, and sun exposure to the incidence of active TB cases (p<0.05).Conclusion: Since statistically significant differences between the two groups have been identified, the incidence of TB in workers might be affected by age, occupation, BMI, and exposure to sunlight. Associated significant variables can be integrated into the TB control program for better case-finding practice to recognize concealed burdens of TB that are overlooked due to COVID-19. This research was funded by Sainteks Sriwijaya University 2020.
