Meta Analysis the Relationship of Social Support on Depression in Pregnant Women
Get PDFBackground: Depression in pregnancy can lead to poor pregnancy outcomes, such as pre-eclampsia, insufficient weight gain, and preterm delivery which can progress to postpartum depression thereby posing a risk to the mother-infant bond and impacting the child's social development at a further level. Social support is one of the important factors that can increase the risk of depression during pregnancy, because with a lack of social support, the increased risk of depression in pregnant or postpartum women will enhance. The purpose of this study was to estimate the relationship between low social support and depression in pregnancy

Meta-Analysis the Effect of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on Hands Functional Ability and Occupational Performance in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Get PDFBackground: Children with cerebral palsy generally experience hand functional disorders which then affect the child's occupational performance. Hand functional ability is the ability to use the hand in doing activities. To be able to perform occupational performance, good hand functional abilities are needed. To achieve this, interventions are needed, one of which is constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) which is hypothesized to be able to improve hand functional ability and occupational per-formance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of CIMT on the hands functional ability and the occupation performance of children with cerebral palsy.Subjects and Method: This study used a systematic review design and meta-analysis using the PRISMA flow chart guidelines. The process of searching for articles was carried out between 2005-2020 using databases from PubMed, Science Direct, AJOT, Springer Link, and Google Scholar. Based on the database, there were 20 articles that met the inclusion criteria. This study involved 669 subjects of hand functional ability and 440 subjects of occupational performance. The analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 20 articles conducted a meta-analysis review. A total of 18 articles conducted a meta-analysis showing that giving CIMT to children with cerebral palsy was significantly able to improve hands functional ability of children with cerebral palsy (SMD = 0.40; 95% CI 0.09 to 0.71; p = 0.01). A total of 11 articles conducted a meta-analysis showing that giving CIMT to children with cerebral palsy was able to improve occupational performance abilities but it was not statistically significant (SMD = 0.18; 95% CI 0.17 to 0.52; p = 0.32).Conclusion: CIMT can improve hand functional abilities and occupational performance of children with cerebral palsy
Meta-Analysis: The Effectiveness of Zinc on Dhiarrea and Pneumonia in Children Under Five
Get PDFBackground: Diarrhea and pneumonia together account for 29% of all child deaths globally, resulting in the deaths of more than two million children each year. Zinc deficiency is associated with decreased immunity and an increase in serious infectious diseases. Zinc deficiency is likely to be a major cause of increased mortality of malnourished infants in developing countries. Numerous studies have shown that zinc supplementation reduces the duration and severity of diarrhea. In addition, zinc administration can also prevent pneumonia, and is effective in recovering fever, shortness of breath and respiratory rate. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of zinc on the incidence of diarrhea and pneumonia in children under five.
Subjects and Method: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted with PRISMA flow diagram. Article searches through journal databases include: PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Schoolar. The keywords used were (“Zinc” OR “Diarrhea”) AND (“Zinc” OR “Pneumonia”) AND “randomized controlled trial”. Inclusion criteria were full paper articles with Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) research methods, the relationship measure used was Mean SD and Odds Ratio, the intervention given was zinc, research subjects had an age range of 0-6 years. Eligible articles were analyzed using the Revman5.3 application.
Results: Meta-analysis of 14 articles showed that zinc administration reduced diarrhea duration 0.73 days statistically significantly (MD= -0.73; 95% CI-1.22 to -0.24, p<0.003, zinc administration reduced pneumonia duration 0.58 days more rapidly and significantly statistically not significant (MD -0.58; 95% CI-0.32 to -1.04, p<0.001) than placebo.
Conclusion: Zinc is effective in reducing the duration of diarrhea and treating pneumonia in children under five
