Abstract

Background: Anemia and hypertension during pregnancy are significant public health challenges, particularly in developing countries, as they are associated with increased risks of maternal and fetal complications, such as preeclampsia and stunting. Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves have been identified as a promising nutritional intervention due to their high iron and antioxidant content, which may contribute to improved hemoglobin levels and reduced blood pressure. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Moringa leaf juice in enhancing hemoglobin levels and reducing blood pressure among pregnant women with anemia and hypertension. Methods: This research employed an experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 48 pregnant women with anemia and hypertension in the Aglomerasi region of Palu were selected using consecutive sampling. The study was conducted from January to April 2024 in Guntarano Village and Bale Village, Donggala Regency, as well as South Tinggede Village, Sigi Regency. Data analysis was performed using paired t-tests. Results: The findings revealed a significant increase in mean hemoglobin levels, from 9.77 g/dL to 10.25 g/dL (p < 0.001). Similarly, systolic blood pressure showed a significant reduction, decreasing from 141.72 mmHg to 131.52 mmHg (p < 0.001), while diastolic blood pressure also declined significantly, from 91.12 mmHg to 86.30 mmHg (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Moringa leaf juice is effective in increasing hemoglobin levels and reducing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in pregnant women with anemia and hypertension. It is recommended that Moringa juice be considered as an alternative nutritional intervention to improve maternal health outcomes, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

Background: Maternal and infant health is still one of the issues that receive special attention related to improving the quality of human life in the world. Every hour, one woman dies during childbirth or due to causes related to pregnancy. There are still many pregnant women who are less aware of the importance of examination as an effort to detect pregnancy risk factors. Lack of knowledge and attitude, makes pregnant women less aware of the emergence of symptoms of certain dangerous diseases, either indirectly causing maternal death. Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women after being given education through the Ebumil android application. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental approach. The sample was 120 pregnant women who were divided into two groups, namely the intervention group (which was given education through the ebumil application and the control group (which was not given education through the ebumil application) using a simple random sampling technique. The research variables were knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women. The research instrument data was a knowledge and attitude questionnaire. The analysis test used was the paired t test. Results: The results of the study showed an increase in knowledge in the intervention group of 80.03 (post 1) and 90.50 (post 2) while the control group did not experience an increase in knowledge of 40.98 (post 1) and 40.50 (post 2). There was an increase in attitudes in the intervention group of 78.16 (post 1) and 90.25 (post 2) while the control group did not experience an increase in attitudes of 42.84 (post 1) and 42.35 (post 2). The results of the paired t test statistical test obtained a p-value of 0.000 <α=0.05, this states that there is an effect of providing education through the application ebumil on the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about pregnancy care. Conclusion: The conclusion is that there is an effect of providing education through the ebumil application on the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about pregnancy care and there is an increase in the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women after being given education through the ebumil android application. It is hoped that pregnant women can respond and take the best steps in maintaining their pregnancy with the online knowledge that has been obtained.

Abstract

Background: Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is an immunoglobulin that is strongly suspected to inhibit apoptosis and is closely associated with various cancers and metastases. Red betel leaves have been shown to induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells (MCF-7), activate pro-apoptotic proteins (Bax), and inhibit anti-apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2). Objective: This study aimed to measure the effect of red betel leaf syrup on Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) levels in adult women. Methods: The study employed a pseudo-experimental design with a one-group pre-post-test approach. It was conducted over 6 months (June to December 2019). The study involved 25 participants, selected purposively from the population of adult women aged 40-80 years in Manggadua Village, West Kendari District. The intervention consisted of administering red betel leaf syrup. The intervention was performed 16 times during the study period (once a month). The acceptability of the syrup was assessed using organoleptic tests, and data were analyzed using the ANOVA test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess changes in CEA levels (μg/dL) after the intervention. Results: Formula F2 was selected as the intervention material. CEA levels showed an average of 2.8760 ± 1.99 ng/ml before the intervention (pre-test) and 3.4920 ± 2.58 ng/ml after the intervention (post-test). Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in CEA levels (p ≤ 0.05, sig. 0.00). Of the 25 samples, 6 showed a negative difference, 18 showed a positive difference, and 1 remained unchanged, with a z-value of -3.217, indicating that pre-test CEA levels were higher than post-test levels. These results suggest that there was an average decrease in CEA levels following the intervention. Conclusion: The pre-test CEA levels were higher than the post-test levels, with a z-value of -3.217, indicating a decrease in CEA levels after the administration of red betel leaf syrup with medium heat and 16 doses. Keywords:CEA levels; formulation; red betel leaf syrup; honey
