Cardiovascular Preventive Activities and its Associated Factors Among Female Nurses in Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital
No full textCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, significantly impacting healthcare providers, including nurses. Despite their critical role in health promotion, many nurses neglect their cardiovascular preventive activities (CVPAs). This study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of good CVPAs among female nurses at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Hospital. 212 registered female nurses participated in a cross-sectional study that was carried out between June and August 2015. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, work-related factors, and CVPAs were collected through a structured self-administered questionnaire. Good CVPAs were defined as adherence to dietary guidelines, regular physical activity, non-smoking, alcohol avoidance, and regular health screenings. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with good CVPAs. Only 14.2% of nurses practiced good CVPAs. While 75.5% were physically active, only 17.9% consumed five or more servings of fruits and vegetables regularly. Nurses in medical-based departments had lower odds of practicing good CVPAs compared to those in surgical-based units (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.08-0.76, p = 0.015). The prevalence of good CVPAs among female nurses at USM Hospital is low, especially regarding dietary adherence. The work department significantly influences preventive practices, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to promote cardiovascular health among nurses

Comparison of the effectiveness of robusta coffee bean extract and arabica coffee bean extract on the growth of Candida albicans
No full textOral thrush, a fungal infection often associated with inadequate oral hygiene, necessitates treatment with antimicrobial agents. Extracts from Coffea canephora (Robusta) and Coffea arabica L. (Arabica) coffee beans contain bioactive compounds that demonstrate inhibitory activity against Candida albicans. This study investigated the comparative inhibitory efficacy of Robusta and Arabica coffee bean extracts on Candida albicans growth. A randomised, post-test only control group design was employed in this experimental laboratory study. Twelve treatment groups were established, and the disc diffusion method was used to assess antibacterial activity. Inhibition diameters were measured using a vernier caliper. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. The mean inhibition diameters for Robusta coffee bean extract (Coffea canephora) were as follows: 9.28 ± 2.585 mm at 12.5% concentration, 12.35 ± 0.050 mm at 25%, 14.55 ± 0.050 mm at 50%, 16.50 ± 0.477 mm at 75%, and 18.55 ± 0.477 mm at 100%. For Arabica coffee bean extract (Coffea arabica L.), the mean inhibition diameters against Candida albicans were 8.10 ± 1.117 mm at 25% concentration, 10.91 ± 1.188 mm at 50%, 15.61 ± 2.115 mm at 75%, and 16.71 ± 1.980 mm at 100%. The positive control exhibited a mean inhibition diameter of 15.85 ± 0.180 mm. No inhibition was observed for Arabica coffee bean extract at 12.5% concentration or the negative control. The results indicate that Robusta coffee bean extract demonstrated a significantly greater inhibitory effect on Candida albicans growth compared to Arabica coffee bean extract. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of both Robusta and Arabica coffee bean extracts revealed the presence of caffeine and chlorogenic acid, which likely contribute to their observed inhibitory activity
Factors influencing self-medication behaviour among non-health science students at Universitas Prima Indonesia
No full textSelf-medication, defined as the use of medication without a prescription or professional guidance, is a global phenomenon with significant implications for both individual and public health. This behaviour is frequently motivated by the desire to alleviate minor ailments, avoid healthcare costs, or circumvent lengthy consultation waiting times. While it can constitute a component of responsible self-care, self-medication also carries risks such as adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, antibiotic resistance, and the potential for misuse. This research aimed to analyse the factors associated with self-medication behaviour among non-healthcare students at Universitas Prima Indonesia. The study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected via an online questionnaire distributed to 188 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Economics at Universitas Prima Indonesia, selected using simple random sampling. The independent variables in this study were gender, knowledge of self-medication, peer recommendations, and academic stress, while the dependent variable was self-medication behaviour. Data analysis involved univariate statistics to describe the characteristics of each variable and bivariate analysis using the Chi-squared test to examine the relationships between variables. The results indicated that knowledge (OR=3.230; p=0.000), peer recommendations (OR=2.046; p=0.000), and academic stress (OR=1.552; p=0.002) were significantly associated with self-medication, whereas gender was not (p=0.126). It can be concluded that a lack of knowledge, peer influence, and academic stress increase the risk of self-medication. Educational interventions and mental health support are necessary to reduce unsafe self-medication practices
