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.

Abstract

UV rays can affect various skin physiology, including changes in skin thickness and skin color. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant to reduce melanin and skin damage caused by the sun, but it requires a combination with other therapies to get optimal results. This research focuses on the effectiveness of microneedling with vitamin C against pigmentation and skin damage due to sun exposure. The design of this research is quasi experimental. Patients who have atrophic acne scars who meet the inclusion criteria and are treated at Sukma Cliniq Tangerang are the population in this study. The intervention in this study was microneedling with a mixture of 10% vitamin C serum to improve the skin (given when the intervention was carried out and used at home for 21 days). The intervention will be carried out on day 0 according to the procedure previously explained and measured again on day 42. The variable measurements in this study aim at the value of UV damage and skin pigmentation before and after the combination therapy. Results: There were 36 respondents who met the inclusion criteria for this study with an average age of 33.03 years and 69.4% of respondents were women. There were changes and improvements in roughness, porphyrin, and pigmentation parameters (p value <0.001), but there was no change in UV damage parameters (p value 0.500) both before and after the intervention. There were changes and improvements in roughness, porphyrin, and pigmentation parameters after microneedling and vitamin C therapy before and after 42 days of therapy. However, there are no changes and improvements to the UV damage parameters.

Abstract

Hypertension is an increasing global health problem. By 2025, it is estimated that 1.5 billion people will suffer from hypertension, with 10.44 million deaths annually caused by hypertension and its complications. Most cases are idiopathic, related to genetic factors, diet and lifestyle. Uncontrolled hypertension significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, and stroke. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method for blood pressure screening and counseling in adults at PT. Narindo, North Jakarta. The results of blood pressure examination showed that 4 people (3.08%) had grade 3 hypertension, 7 people (5.38%) had grade 2 hypertension, 20 people (15.38%) had grade 1 hypertension. Monitor blood pressure regularly and increasing public health knowledge can increase awareness and encourage healthy lifestyle changes, reducing the prevalence and complications of hypertension.
