Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia is aggressively targeting reducing the maternal mortality rate to 70 deaths per 100 thousand live births by 2030. Currently, the proportion of maternal deaths is approximately 305 deaths per 100 thousand live births. Where the biggest deaths occur in hospitals around 77%. The mother could not be saved, for one thing, because the mother who was referred to the hospital was already in a state of severe complications. This happens because identification and examination during pregnancy are not optimal and must be strengthened (RI Ministry of Health, 2021). Purpose of Writing: The purpose of this writing is to find out cultural relations, affordability of facilities and infrastructure and mothers' perceptions of the behavior of choosing delivery assistance in the working area of the Cisimeut Health Center in 2022.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries with a high stunting rate. In Indonesia, the strategy to accelerate the reduction of stunting is carried out by involving various figures from the government, academia, the private sector, the community, philanthropy and the mass media, and is coordinated by the Vice President. The aim of this research is to find out the implementation strategy for reducing stunting in Kosambironyok Village, Anyar District, Serang Regency in 2022. The type of research used is a qualitative method. The data sources used in this study are primary and secondary data. The informants who played a role in this study consisted of 2 groups, namely the group of informants and the group of key informants. The results of this study indicate that health workers at the Puskesmas, District officials and village officials understand their respective roles in working together to accelerate the reduction of stunting. It is hoped that all health workers will take an active role with the government in implementing the program to reduce stunting rates in toddlers. The stunting reduction program can be carried out by conducting socialization regarding the process of preventing stunting from an early age and how to overcome it.

Abstract

Reproductive health is one of the national and global development targets based on the 2030 sustainable development goals. The prominent problems among adolescents are grouped into three risks or the KRR Triad. Correct knowledge and good understanding of reproductive health can direct a teenager towards responsible sexual behavior. The purpose of this study was to describe the level of knowledge about adolescent reproductive health among students at SMPN 1 Batang Kapas. The research design uses a purely descriptive study using a quantitative approach. The sample in this study were 26 students of SMPN 1 Batang Kapas who fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Questionnaires are used as research data collection tools. The data were then analyzed univariately using the SPSS application. The average age of the respondents was 13.23 years with the youngest being 12 years and the oldest being 15 years. Respondents consisted of 8 men (30.76%) and 18 women (69.24%). The level of knowledge about reproductive health is good at 73.08% or 19 people. While the remaining 7 people (26.92%), have a sufficient level of knowledge. The majority of respondents have a good level of knowledge about adolescent reproductive health. This is because respondents have received information about reproductive health before. Provision of information sources is significantly related to adolescent knowledge regarding fertility, sexual intercourse, marriage plans, and the lowest safe age for childbirth so that it will encourage the formation of positive sexual behavior. The level of knowledge about reproductive health in this study is in the good category. It is hoped that this level of knowledge can lead to good reproductive behavior and function.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is caused by a dengue virus that spreads through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which breeds a lot in densely populated areas with humid and warm climates. Anti-mosquito drugs in the form of burns, sprays, lotions, or other types are already widely used, but these anti-mosquito drugs are not entirely beneficial. This research is purely experimental research with Post-test Only Control Group Design by making air spray solution products from noni leaf infusion and cananga flower, which are analyzed descriptively and analytically. Experiments carried out with Randomized Complete Design 1 time repetition to analyze effectiveness. The study used two factors: treatment (P) using infusion products while the control (K) using distilled water. From the results of mixing, it was obtained as much as 400 ml of infusion solution. Obtained in each measurement, there was a reduction in live larvae until the last measurement. Noni leaf contains five flavonol glycosides (flavonoid compounds) as respiratory poisons and a combination of saponins and tannins as stomach poisons that have the killing power against the death of Aedes aegypti larvae. Cananga flower extract itself can resist mosquitoes because of the content of linalool, geraniol and eugenol. This makes a change in the larvae's behavior, where the previously active movement will be slow and eventually will die.

Abstract

The main problems that often occur in people with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are stress and an increase in blood sugar. Uncontrolled stress for a long time can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels, which can lead to various complications. One of the physical activities that can be done with relaxation is Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is an intervention that can be done in people with diabetes. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on increasing stress and blood sugar levels. The research design used a quasi-experimental approach with a pre-post-test control group design approach. The sample consisted of 36 respondents who were divided into 18 intervention groups and 18 control groups. The group was given a therapeutic intervention for 1 week with a duration of 2 times a day, namely in the morning and afternoon for 10-15 minutes. The instruments used are a glucometer, blood sugar level observation sheet, and Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) questionnaire. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test and Paired t-test to see pair data. Then for the research group, the data used the Man-Whitney Test. The results showed that there was a significant effect on decreasing blood pressure (p=0.013) and that there was an effect on decreasing blood sugar levels (p=0.034). Conclusion: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) affects reducing stress and blood sugar levels in Type 2 DM patients.

Abstract

Streptococcus mutans naturally occurs in the human oral cavity, is a microorganism that plays an important role in the initiation of dental caries. One of the efforts to prevent dental caries is the use of natural ingredients that contain antibacterial substances that can interfere with the growth or kill bacteria. Nutmeg is a natural ingredient that has antibacterial properties. Bioactive compounds in nutmeg seeds have antibacterial properties. This research aimed to determine the formulation and concentration of nutmeg seed extract which has antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans. The type of research used is a laboratory experiment with a post test only group design. The treatment group used purified extract of nutmeg seeds with concentrations of 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 7.5%, 5.0%, 2.5%, 1.25%, the positive control group used mouthwash I, T and L. The test was carried out three repetitions at each concentration, then the inhibition zone was measured using the well diffusion method. Antibacterial activity testing was carried out using the well method, the data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, the Levene test, the one way annova test and the PST hock test. Obtained the average inhibition of nutmeg seeds against Streptococcus mutans at a concentration of 25% (18.33 mm). 20% concentration (17.16 mm), 15% concentration (16.16 mm), 10% concentration (14.66 mm), 7.5% concentration (13.33 mm), 5% concentration (6.66 mm ), the concentration of 2.5% (2.6 mm) and the smallest concentration of 1.25% had no inhibition (0 mm), while in the control group I (4 mm), T (3 mm) and L (2 mm). The higher the concentration of purified extract of nutmeg seeds, the higher the antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans. further research on the concentration of nutmeg seed extract preparations was carried out in vivo tests on experimental animals in order to obtain purified extract preparations of nutmeg seeds that are safe and can be an alternative choice in maintaining oral health.

Abstract

Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is defined as the rupture of the membranes before the time of delivery at aterm pregnancy. The research used a quantitative study and an analytical survey with a Cross Sectional approach. The independent variable was parity and maternal age, while the dependent variable was premature rupture of membranes. This study used secondary data from 2019 to 2020. The population of this study were all 379 mothers giving birth in the VK room at the Muna Barat Hospital, and the sample in this study was 36 respondents who experienced PROM. The sample collection technique used a simple random sampling technique. This analysis used a contingency coefficient with an error rate (α = 0.05). The results showed that at term pregnancy there were 66% of mothers who experienced PROM in the age group < 20 years and > 35 years and at term pregnancy there were 71% experiencing PROM in the primipara and grandemultipara groups. From the results of statistical analysis were using SPSS, it was found that the P value < 0.05 for the age and parity groups, where these results indicated there is a relationship between maternal age (< 20 and > 35 years) and maternal parity (primipara and grade multipara) with the incidence of PROM. It is hoped that midwives as health service providers for pregnant, maternity and postpartum women can further enhance their role in providing counseling to women, both adolescents and women of childbearing age, about a safe reproductive age for pregnancy and childbirth.
