Abstract

Acne Vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the pilosebaceous follicles, characterized by multifactorial causative factors and clinical manifestations such as cysts, pustules, comedones, nodules, and papules. While AV is not life-threatening, it can significantly impact an individual's well-being by reducing self-esteem, increasing anxiety, and affecting their economic and social life. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, synthesizing information from multiple reputable sources. The main objective of this review is to explore the implementation of treatments related to the relationship between skin cleansing habits and Acne Vulgaris. The connection between facial skin hygiene and the occurrence of Acne Vulgaris is of significant interest. One key aspect is the potential reduction in Acne Vulgaris when individuals maintain good facial skin hygiene practices. When facial skin is cleaned appropriately, it hinders the accumulation of excess sebum, one of the contributing factors to the development of Acne Vulgaris. It is essential to acknowledge the variability in research outcomes. While certain studies propose that excessive facial cleansing may worsen Acne Vulgaris due to potential skin irritation and glandular complications, others recommend a minimum of twice-daily facial cleansing with a gentle cleanser to maintain skin well-being. The optimal cleansing frequency may depend on individual skin conditions and the presence of comedonal lesions.

Abstract

existence of a problem by systematically collecting data within a community. Anemia is a health issue that commonly arises, characterized by a condition in which the body's hemoglobin levels fall below the normal range. According to the 2018 Riskesdas data, the prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls reaches approximately 32%, meaning that 3 to 4 out of every 10 adolescent girls experience anemia. Anemia in adolescent girls has the potential to result in various negative consequences, such as reduced immunity, decreased academic performance, and diminished productivity. These observations emphasize the necessity of conducting a community diagnosis to enhance awareness and reduce cases of anemia among adolescent girls in the Puskesmas Gembong working area. The primary objectives include improving knowledge about anemia and decreasing the number of anemia cases among adolescent girls in the Puskesmas Gembong working area. An intervention plan in the form of educational sessions about anemia was developed. Following the intervention, there was an improvement in knowledge, with post-test scores exceeding 60% for over 50% of the participants. Therefore, this community diagnosis serves to enhance knowledge about anemia among adolescent girls and has resulted in the identification of anemia cases among them, leading to appropriate referrals for treatment.

Abstract

The enactment of legislation governing decision-making for incapacitated individuals serves a crucial purpose, primarily enabling individuals to proactively plan for future incapacity by appointing trusted agents to make decisions on their behalf. In the context of England and Wales, adults can achieve this through the utilization of a lasting power of attorney, as stipulated in the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (sections 9-14). Specifically, a health and care lasting power of attorney grants authority to an appointed agent to make day-to-day care decisions in situations where the individual is unable to do so. It is imperative for district nurses to obtain the consent of the appointed attorney before administering treatment to the donor. Furthermore, a district nurse should conduct a comprehensive review of the actions taken by the donor's attorney, involving consultation with the donor, the general practitioner (GP), and the attorney. Should conflicts regarding care persist, legal intervention by the courts may be necessary. Notably, life-sustaining or necessary therapies would continue in such instances. It is essential to emphasize that lasting health and care powers of attorney are not subject to illegality, encompassing situations where the donor expresses wishes for euthanasia or assisted dying. District nurses are required to obtain a copy of the health and care enduring power of attorney, respecting the authority of the appointed attorney to make decisions in cases where the donor lacks capacity. In the Eastern context, considerations of human rights, religion, ethics, and law collectively categorize euthanasia as a criminal act. Conversely, while Indonesia lacks specific regulations addressing euthanasia, various legal sources indicate that both seeking and performing euthanasia are deemed criminal activities.
