Abstract

Background: Knowledge and stigma are the factors that determine the success of TB control. The people of East Nusa Tenggara still rely heavily on the support of God's servants in addressing health issues. God's servant is someone who is believed to have the gift of healing through prayer to the Lord Jesus. Aim: This study aimed to reveal God's servants' knowledge on and stigma to TB.Methods: This study is a descriptive quantitative study, in which the research aims to perceive God's servants' knowledge and stigma to TB in 2 community health centers with the most TB cases in Kupang. The population of the study was God's servants in three areas of coverage of community health centers with the most TB cases. The sample of the study was the entire population (Total sampling) as many as 120 people. Data were collected through questionnaires and using mid-point score.Results: The results showed that the knowledge related to transmission, treatment, and prevention of Tuberculosis was low, amounted to 76%, similar to the stigma to TB that was amounted to 58%. God's servants still held the stigma that TB is a curse and disgraceful disease and they were unwilling to share with tuberculosis patients.Conclusion: God's servants' knowledge related to TB is low. As for stigma, even though mostly is low, there are still many God's servants who give stigma to TB disease. Since God's servant is a potential figure believed by some people to have the gift of healing, their knowledge and stigma needs to be improved in order to provide true information and support for TB patients.

Abstract

Background: Maternal sociodemographic characteristics can be used to prevent preterm birth.Objective: To identify differences in maternal sociodemographic characteristics with spontaneous preterm birth among hospitals in East Java, Indonesia.Methods: This was a descriptive study with comparative design in 134 mothers who experienced preterm birth at eight hospitals. Data were analyzed using Independent samples t-test.Result: Sixteen variables were significantly different in maternal sociodemographic characteristics with spontaneous preterm birth among eight hospitals, namely: gestational age (CI 95%:10.97-0.02, p <0.049), maternal age (CI 95%:0.46-11.03, p <0.035), smoking (CI 95%:9.98-19.01 p <0.001), Edinburgh Postnatal Distress Scale (EPDS) (CI 95%:6.90-17.09, p <0.001), the fetus mobile (CI 95%:2.41-11.58, p <0.006), the number of visits during pregnancy (CI 95%:5.63-14.36, p <0.001), history of premature (CI 95%:7.76-15.73, p <0.001), history of disease (CI 95%:9.02-18.97, p <0.001), history of abortion (CI 95%:9.34-18.65, p <0.000), height (CI 95%:9.66-18.83, p <0.001), BMI (CI 95%:0.75-11.74, p <0.029), Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) (CI 95%:2.53-12.96, p <0.007), periodontal infection by (CI 95%:6.04-15.45, p <0.001), bleeding in young and old pregnancy (CI 95%:7.71-17.28, p <0.001), anemia status (CI 95%:2.30-10.19, p <0.004) and BV status (CI95%:9.05-20.45, p <0.001).Conclusion: There were significant disparities in maternal sociodemographic characteristics with preterm birth among hospitals.

Abstract

Background: Newborns are not able to regulate their body temperature directly and are quickly getting cold. If heat loss is not immediately prevented, the baby will experience hypothermia and is at risk of falling ill leading to death. Hypothermia is a decrease in body temperature below 36.50C. One way to handle it is by giving touch therapy.Objective:  This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of touch therapy to stabilize baby temperature in newborns in Sele Be Solu Hospital in Sorong City, Papua Indonesia.Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest control group design. There were 32 patients, which 16 patients were assigned in the intervention group and the control group. Data were analyzed using Independent t-test.Results: The results showed that there was a significant increase in the body temperature of newborns in the intervention group (p=.000).Conclusion:  Touch therapy is effective for increasing body temperature in the newborns.

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a type of musculoskeletal disorder that has a detrimental effect on both workers and business continuity. Weaving activities with handloom are at risk for this disorder.Objective: To analyze the prevalence of LBP among Samarinda sarong's traditional weavers and its related factors.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 49 traditional weavers of Samarinda Sarong. The instruments included the Owestry low back pain disability questionnaire, rapid entire body assessment (REBA), microtoise staturmeter and stopwatch. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regressions.Results: The result showed that most of the weavers (92.5%) experienced LBP. Age (p= .000), work experience (p=.000), workload (p=.048) and work posture (p=.000) were significantly associated with LBP, while nutritional status (p=.773) and workload (p= .343) were not associated with LBP. Age and work posture were the most dominant variables affecting LBP.Conclusion: The prevalence of LBP among Samarinda sarong's traditional weavers was quite high and was strongly influenced by the weavers' age and posture work. In order to improve work posture and reduce the incidence of LBP, it is recommended to modify handlooms (tables and chairs) by following ergonomic rules, reducing workload, work time limitation and adequate rest.

Abstract

Background: Approximately 90% of women in Indonesia have the potential to experience fluor albus. Fluor albus is mostly caused by Candida Albicans. Candida Albicans is a fungus that often causes infections on people. Herbal medicine is one alternative that can be used as a raw material for anti-fungial medication of Candida Albicans.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine effectiveness of rose flower (Rosa Chinensis Jacq) on Candida Albicans colonies.Methods: This research was an experimental study with posttest only control group design, using four repetitions with a concentration of 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15% and 17.5%. The hypothesis test used was One-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) with a significance level of 0.05.Results: The result shows that 7.5% concentration, the growth of the colonies was 148.75 CFU/ml; at 10% concentration, the growth of the colonies was 123 CFU/ml; at 12.5%, the growth of the colonies was 86 CFU/ml, at 15%, the growth of the colony was 29 CFU/ml; at 17.5 %, the colony growth was 0, so it can be concluded the higher concentration of rose extract, the lower number of Candida Albicans colonies.Conclusion: Rose extract (Rosa Chinensis Jacq) is effective in inhibiting the growth of the Candida Albicans fungus with minimum killing levels of 17.5%. Further studies on toxicity test on rose extracts on Candida Albicans are necessary.
