Abstract

Angkringan is included in the culinary options of Java, although it involves a simple food stall on the roadside using a wheelbarrow and covered with a plastic tarpaulin as the roof.However, food safety is one of the main factors that influence tourists in choosing Angkringan culinary spots. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the quality of food management by paying attention to health requirements including hygiene and sanitation procedures. This study aimed to analyze the differences in the food safety scores of Angkringan street vendors in Yogyakarta City before and after an intervention. We conducted a quantitative study with an experimental design from March to May 2021. We intervened with health education through pocketbooks in 49 communities of Angkringan street vendors in Yogyakarta tourism locations with a duration of one month. Data collection was conducted through the Food Safety Score Questionnaire while data analysis used Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. The majority of Angkringan street vendors had a category of Food Safety Score that was vulnerable but safe to consume before and after the pocketbook intervention. However, the influence of the intervention showed significant differences in research results (p-value < 0.05). This study concluded that health education interventions with pocketbooks among the Angkringan street vendors could positively affect food safety scores. We recommend that the government foster food hygiene education and monitoring of Angkringan street vendors, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are one of the leading health problems that occur in the adult people. One strategy to improve self-management of NCDs during the COVID-19 pandemic is to use a smartphone-based application. This literature review is structured to describe applications smartphone-based to improve self-management of NCDs. The databases in e-resources included Wiley Online, ScienceDirect, and Cambridge Core from 2010-2021. A literature search resulted in 15 articles that focused on using applications as a medium for improving self-management of NCDs. Various studies have shown the benefits of the use of smartphone-based applications to improve self-management strategies, including (1) the application to count the physical activity score; (2) the self-management application to manage nutritional diets; (3) the application of pain evaluation; (4) the application of weight management, and (5) the application of self-disease management record. The existence of a smartphone-based application can reduce the limitations in the process of implementing and evaluating self-management of non-communicable diseases.

Abstract

Shortness of breath (dyspnea) is a common symptom that accompanies patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Management of dyspnea in patients with COPD is not only using pharmacological therapy but also non-pharmacological therapy. Non-pharmacological therapy for patients with COPD covers three main aspects: breath, mind, and functional processing. Along with the development of complementary therapy in nursing science, nursing interventions that can be done at home begin to be in great demand because of their low cost and time effectiveness. One of the interventions is providing breathing exercises and relaxation for patients with COPD to reduce the dyspnea complaints, increase the strength of breathing muscles and prevent the hospital re-admission due to acute exacerbation. This study aimed to see the effectiveness of the combination of Pursed Lip Breathing (PLB) and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on the degree of dyspnea. This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pre and post-test design approach with 20 respondents in each group. The results showed significant differences in the degree of dyspnea after the combination of PLB and PMR (p < 0.05). The results from this study recommend improving the development of complementary therapy programs in nursing education and services by modifying nursing care standards with the combinations of PLB and PMR for patients with COPD.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The current COVID-19 situation has disrupted routine growth and developmental screening programs for children delivered by the Community Health Centers (Puskesmas). The KUMBANG project aims to provide a ‘new normal’ alternative in screening for children's growth and development by involving medical students and using online platforms. This study aimed to assess the project’s reach in screening growth and developmental delays while also exploring the project’s effectiveness through parents' perspectives.Collaborating with the Center for Indonesian Medical Students’ Activities (CIMSA) Universitas Gadjah Mada, we recruited and trained 33 volunteers. Volunteers screen for children’s development through an online platform, while the community volunteer cadres measure children’s growth through COVID-safe offline appointments. We analyzed children's growth using the WHO Anthro Survey Analyzer and children's development according to the Kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan guidelines. Parents' perspective on this project was assessed through a survey.A total of 92 under-five years old children from four Posyandu in Puskesmas Gondokusuman participated in the project. Around 29% (27/92) of the children had nutritional problems, either underweight, stunted, wasted, or a combination. Meanwhile, 34% (29/84) of children were at risk of developmental delays, of which five were suspected to have developmental delays, while 24 had dubious results. Parents reported that this method is sufficiently effective in screening for children's development and were comfortable with the online screening, since it is more COVID-safe. Parents also felt comfortable communicating with volunteers and believed that the medical students could provide valid and reliable information.KUMBANG project offers a good alternative for screening children's growth and development during the current disrupted routine screening. Involving medical students could help in service delivery, since health professionals are relatively occupied with COVID-19 management. The online method used in this project should be considered as a prospective option for routine screening.

Abstract

Currently, the need for clean water which is a vital source for people's lives has not been fully met for all Indonesians, including the mountain farming community, Jajar Village, Gandusari District, Trenggalek Regency. So far, the mountain farming community members of Jajar Village have used mountain water for household needs where cloudy and unstable water conditions are a problem that must be faced. If this problem continues, it will lead to serious health problems and social conflicts in the community. Therefore, through community service activities, we made a practical clean water treatment tool, with easily obtained materials, that can be implemented in hilly areas such as in Jajar Village, Gandusari District, Trenggalek Regency. The filtration system used is an upflow and downflow system where the water undergoes a filtration process twice in the material that has been selected and arranged in a systematic way. The materials used are available and easy to obtain in Jajar Village, so that people can discover easily about the benefits of these materials. After making a water filtration system with the community, then physical testing is conducted on the quality of the water produced. From the test results of the effectiveness of the implementation of clean water treatment technology applied to mountain farmers in Jajar Village, it shows that in general the filtered water has met the physical requirements for the level of turbidity, taste, and smell, as well as the quantity and continuity of water are always available when needed.

Abstract

Death registration is very important and has civil and legal impact on the deceased person and their family. Validity of a death certificate is influenced by the time accuracy of death estimation. Calculation of the post-mortem interval has a central role in the estimation of the time of death, especially for death cases in the community, without prior medical observation. This study aimed to develop a smartphone application for counting the estimated time of death based on android features, to help doctors establish a more accurate time of death and provide a learning facility for doctors and medical student. This action research consisted of 4 cycles: 1) Planning, 2) Action, 3) Observation, and 4) Reflection. The final result of this study is an android application named Forensica 3rd version. This application was developed in Bahasa Indonesia. This application has a menu for recording the patient identity, instructions for post-mortem changes examination, record examination results, time of death calculation and its interpretation. This 3rd version of the application is the latest version after undergoing two revisions. The Forensica application provides an easy way for doctors and medical students to establish the time of death estimation and it is user-friendly.

Abstract

Stressors from school and inappropriate friendships could lead to depression among teenagers, and possibly to attempts at suicide if not treated properly. To meet this need, there is a peer counsellor service, which is an extracurricular activity at school, called the Centre for Youth Information and Counseling / Pusat Informasi dan Konseling Remaja (PIK-R) Exalta. However, only a few students have used this service. This was due to a situational barrier that happened in direct counselling. This study aimed to detect mild depression and evaluate the implementation of the EmosiAn application (app) in handling mild depression among students. This study used secondary data from Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa Pengabdian Masyarakat (PKM-M)/ Student Creativity Program-Community Services conducted from Augustus to October 2020 at MAN 1 Yogyakarta. A total of 126 students voluntarily filled out the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and 47 (37.3%) showed mild depression. Among 27 students and 5 peer counsellors then agreed to participate. The EmosiAn app was designed based on their problems, and had two interfaces for the administrator (peer counsellor) and the user (student). The app contained a diagnosis of depression using PHQ-9, daily journal, chat and reading the relevant articles. Before using the app, both peer counsellors and students attended zoom-online training. There was an increase in peer counsellors' knowledge (p=0.000) and students (p= 0.002) before and after the webinar. All participants could use the EmosiAn app and felt its benefits after two weeks of implementation. There were 40% of students who experienced a reduction of their depression level. Problems encountered during its usage could be resolved by fixing and refining the app. EmosiAn is a user-friendly application used by PIK-R Exalta to detect and care for students with mild depression. Further development is needed for wider used in the future.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic had a tremendous impact on psychological burdens and may lead to suicide acts. Suicide is a global mental health problem that happens all over the world. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the suicide rates and estimate the category of male-female suicides. This study analyzed suicide data from the Gunungkidul Resort Police from April 2018 to April 2021. Gunungkidul Regency is one area in Indonesia with a high suicide rate. From that time of period, there were about 97 suicide cases as the sample of this study. This article estimated the suicide trend using time series forecasting and Chi-square tests to find potential differences before and after the outbreak. Chi-square analysis showed that there was no difference in the pattern of suicide before and since the COVID-19 pandemic (????2 = 12.05; p > 0.05), as well as the male rates (????2 = 20.17; p > 0.05). However, suicide among females has increased since the outbreak (????2 = 23.43; p < 0.05), especially among the elderly. This article recommended providing a support system, strengthening social networks, and widening the access of women and the elderly to health and psychological services during the pandemic.

Abstract

Overweight and obesity are increasing in Indonesia, and these conditions pose a growing threat to people with non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to show the difference in obesity among respondents who consume snacks compared to respondents who have the habit of eating breakfast with three choices to select from: always, sometimes, or never. This comparison was done to analyze the relationship between breakfast habits and snack consumption. This cross-sectional study collected data using a survey on 26 – 27 November 2021. The sample population included the entire academic community of the Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara, Medan. The sample was determined by an accidental sampling technique. Research instruments were used in the form of questionnaires, microtoise and weight scales to measure the anthropometrics of height and weight. Descriptive data analysis used normality tests and because the data were not normally distributed, the Kendall and Kruskal Wallis tests were done. The results of this study indicated that 38 respondents have overweight status (17.9%), 36 respondents (17.0%) obesity I, 18 respondents (8.5%) obesity II, and 26 respondents (12.3%) underweight. There was no significant difference in obesity among respondents who have the habit of eating breakfast always, sometimes, and never, with p-value of 0.793.There was a significant difference in obesity among respondents who have the habit of eating snacks never, sometimes, and always with a p-value of 0.014. Although snacking can sometimes lead to obesity, generally the fatting types of snacks consumed are cakes and fried foods. In conclusion, limiting snack foods such as cakes and fried foods can reduce obesity. It is recommended to replace the consumption of these snacks with fruits and vegetables.

Abstract

 In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly to all countries, including Indonesia. This problem prompted the government to immediately make efforts to suppress the spread of COVID-19. Public Health Centers are at the front line in breaking the chain of transmission of COVID-19 because they are located in every sub-district and have a regional concept. This research is a participatory observational study and was conducted from July 6 – 31, 2020. Researchers at the same time as volunteers coordinated with the Public Health Centers and evaluated the implementation of COVID-19 Prevention and Control in the Work Area of Kalibaru Kulon Health Center. The evaluation was done based on the guidelines for the Prevention and Control of COVID-19 by analyzing and interpreting the data and developing a descriptive narrative. The results of the evaluation have shown the suitability of the guidelines with the implementation of the rapid test program, screening COVID-19 at check point posts, and ‘Sekolah Tangguh & Pondok Tangguh’. But, there are still some indicators that are not following the guidelines, especially in the implementation of rapid test program and ‘Sekolah Tangguh & Pondok Tangguh’. The conclusion from the evaluation of the implementation of Kalibaru Kulon Health Center program in making efforts to prevent and control COVID-19 is that the implementation of the program has not been optimal when compared to existing guidelines so that more efforts need to be made such as increasing the role of the government as the developer of policies, which is supported by public awareness to realize community independence in the health sector.
