Effect of dried rebon shrimp substitution on organoleptic characteristics, proximate composition, and iron content of dimsum
No full textRebon shrimp is a local food source of heme iron with relatively high iron content; however, its acceptability among adolescents remains low due to its strong odor and less appealing appearance. Processing dried rebon shrimp into dim sum may enhance both acceptability and nutritional value. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dried rebon shrimp substitution on the organoleptic characteristics, proximate composition, and iron content of dim sum. An experimental study was conducted using a completely randomized design with five substitution levels of dried rebon shrimp: F1 (20%), F2 (40%), F3 (60%), F4 (80%), and F5 (100%). Organoleptic evaluation was performed using a 7-point hedonic scale involving 35 semi-trained panelists. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney post hoc test. The results demonstrated that different substitution levels significantly affected the aroma, texture, taste, and color of dim sum. The formulation with 40% dried rebon shrimp substitution showed the highest acceptability. Proximate composition and heme iron analyses of the selected formulation revealed a moisture content of 63.71%, ash content of 1.49%, carbohydrate content of 24.01%, protein content of 7.57%, fat content of 3.22%, and heme iron content of 1.20 mg/100 g. Although dried rebon shrimp substitution increased the heme iron content of dim sum, the product does not yet qualify as a source or high-heme iron food
Combination of Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Cat Stretch Exercise on Adolescents' Hemoglobin
No full textThe menstrual period is one of the triggers for adolescents to experience anemia, characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin levels. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of combining progressive muscle relaxation and cat stretch exercise in improving hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls, a population at high risk of anemia, particularly during menstruation. This study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with two group designs in June-August 2023. Fifty adolescent girls meeting the inclusion criteria were selected using purposive sampling and proportionally divided into two groups, the progressive muscle relaxation and cat stretch exercise combination group, and the walking group. The Point of care testing (examinations carried out near the patient outside the laboratory) method measures adolescent hemoglobin and hemodynamic levels before and after the intervention. The intervention was given for 4 weeks with weekly monitoring. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test and Mann-Whitney test. The combination of progressive muscle relaxation and cat stretch exercise was effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in both groups with an average increase of 0.484 and 0.184 respectively, but there was no difference in average hemoglobin in the two groups after the intervention (p-value 0.011 and 0.004). Physical activity, such as either the combination of PMR and cat stretch exercise or walking, was proven effective in increasing hemoglobin levels. These findings suggest that both methods have the potential to serve as simple and affordable interventions for reducing anemia in adolescent girls during menstruation
Pain Reduction after Caesarean Section through Lavender Aromatherapy
No full textPain is a common problem experienced by patients after undergoing a cesarean section. Lavender aromatherapy, which contains active compounds such as linalool and linalyl, was believed to reduce pain due to its analgesic properties and its ability to stimulate the release of endorphins by activating the hypothalamus. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing post-cesarean section pain at Siti Fatimah Az-Zahra Regional Public Hospital, South Sumatra Province. This study was a quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group approach. A total of 54 post-cesarean section mothers were selected as participants, with 27 assigned to the experimental group and 27 to the control group. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Sampling was conducted using a purposive sampling technique, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0,000 (p-value<0,05), indicating a significant decrease in post-cesarean section pain following lavender aromatherapy intervention. Lavender aromatherapy can be considered a complementary therapy option for managing postoperative pain after cesarean section
Prevention of Risk of Falls and Musculoskeletal Disorders in Older People through Ergonomic exercise and Posture Screening
No full textAging is a natural process in the human life cycle. The increase in life expectancy has a positive impact on quality of life, but it also brings various consequences, one of which is the decline in physical and cognitive functions. As they age, the elderly become more susceptible to musculoskeletal disorders, which in turn increase the risk of falling. This community service activity aimed to enhance the understanding and awareness of the elderly regarding the importance of preventing falls and musculoskeletal disorders through ergonomic education and posture screening. The activity, themed "Ergonomics for Elderly Safety," was organized by the Physiotherapy Study Program, Faculty of Nursing, Hasanuddin University, on December 15, 2023, at the Tamalanrea Health Center, involving 30 elderly participants from the Prolanis program. The series of events included ergonomic counseling, demonstrations of ergonomic exercises, and posture screening using the Functional Reach Test and the Apley Scratch Test. The results of the Functional Reach Test showed an average reach of 26,88 cm, indicating a low risk of falling. Meanwhile, the Apley Scratch Test results revealed an average reach of 9,82 cm for the right arm and 16,95 cm for the left arm, reflecting the presence of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the left upper extremity. These findings highlight the importance of continuing ergonomic education and posture screening programs as part of preventive efforts to reduce the risk of falls and musculoskeletal disorders in the elderly
Understanding Family Burden as Caregiver in Stroke Patients: Case Study
No full textA family member who acts as a caregiver is subjected to continuous distress while taking care of a stroke patient due to physical and psychological burdens. Most caregivers in Indonesia, or 47,2%, are young women. Research revealed that 45% of caregivers for stroke survivors experienced depression, and 64% underwent work and financial loads. Caregivers are responsible for feeding, maintaining hygiene, and doing daily activities in their caring. Several studies have focused on the stroke patients’ medical problems, whereas this study attempted to investigate the burden on family members as caregivers. This study employed a qualitative case study approach, utilizing a single-case study design. The data was processed using Colaizzi’s data analysis, which includes reading, identifying significant opinions, formulating meaning, and theming. The results revealed four themes on the caregivers’ burden, namely physical problems, hygiene care, medical care costs, and limited socializing activities. To summarize, physical problems are the main cause of caregivers’ distress, and caregivers are recommended to organize shifting schedules among family members in order to spare more time for their caring or any recreational activities
Model Analysis of Job Satisfaction in Nurses
No full textJob satisfaction reflects how much employees like or dislike various aspects of their work. At RSUD Dr. H. Bob Bazar SKM, many nurses expressed dissatisfaction: 52,4% with income, 38,1% with working conditions, 52,4% with promotion opportunities, 57,1% with the work itself, 52,4% with recognition, 57,1% with work experience, and 71,4% with both self-development and overall job satisfaction. This dissatisfaction impacts nurses’ performance. This study aimed to determine a job satisfaction model among nurses at RSUD Dr. H. Bob Bazar SKM, South Lampung. It used a cross-sectional analytic design with a qualitative approach, involving all 149 nurses as subjekts through total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Smart PLS (Partial Least Squares). The modified model showed all latent variable constructs had good discriminant validity, and the AVE test indicated no issues with convergent validity. Bootstrapping analysis revealed that among eight exogenous variables, only self-development and promotion opportunities significantly affected job satisfaction (p-value<0,05; t>1,96). The R² value of 0,701 suggests that these two variables can explain 70,1% of job satisfaction. Self-development was measured with five indicators (highest t=13,836), promotion opportunities with five indicators (highest t=15,576), and job satisfaction with six indicators (highest t=15,285). The study recommends the hospital prioritize improving self-development and promotion opportunities to enhance job satisfaction, contributing to better planning and organizational growth

No full textBullying is a serious issue affecting adolescents globally, particularly those aged 13-15. It significantly contributes to mental health problems and increases the risk of suicide. However, bullying often goes unaddressed due to its subtle impact and underreporting by victims. Therefore, practical strategies are needed to encourage student involvement in preventing bullying. This study evaluated the effectiveness of using lectures with audiovisual media to prevent bullying among junior high school students in Makassar. A quasi-experimental design was used with a pretest-posttest and control group. The study involved 100 students divided into an intervention group (SMP Negeri 1 Makassar) and a control group (SMP Negeri 6 Makassar). Knowledge and attitude were assessed using questionnaires. Data analysis included frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. Results showed a significant difference in knowledge scores between groups (p-value=0,027) and a significant improvement in attitudes toward bullying prevention (p-value=0,001). The study concludes that health promotion using lectures and audiovisual media effectively improves student knowledge and attitudes toward bullying prevention. It is recommended that schools conduct regular health promotion activities addressing social issues such as bullying
Workload Perception and Social Support to Work Stress of Mental Hospital Nurses
No full textNurses working in mental hospitals face a high workload, complex obligations, and potential dangers, so they need adequate socialsupport. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the perception of workload and social support and the level ofwork stress in nurses at RSJD Dr. Arif Zainuddin Surakarta. The study used quantitative methods with observational analyticaldesign and cross-sectional approaches. A total of 159 nurses were selected using incidental sampling techniques. The independentvariables were the perception of workload and social support, while work stress was the dependent variable. The research instrument was in the form of a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out usingthe Kendall Tau correlation test. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between the perception of workloadand work stress (p-value=0,917), nor between social support and work stress (p-value=0,323). It can be concluded that the perception of workload and the level of social support do not have a significant effect on the work stress of nurses in mentalhospitals. Follow-up research is recommended to explore other factors that may play a role in influencing nurses' work stress
Educational Video SADAR as an Effort to Improve Knowledge about the Risk of Chronic Kidney Failure
No full textEnd-stage renal disease is a global health problem that impacts quality of life and high treatment costs, second only to cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the SADAR (Semangat mengAtas dan Sinyal Ancaman Risiko) educational video on efforts to reduce the risk of CKD in the Banjar Sarasan Health Center area, East Pontianak. A quasi-experimental design with a control group was used 44 subjects with hypertension or type II diabetes mellitus who were at risk of developing CKD. The subjects were divided into two groups selected accidentally. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed that the SADAR video (p-value=0,000) and lectures (p=0,000) were both effective in increasing public knowledge about CKD risk detection. The Mann-Whitney test showed that the SADAR video was more effective (p-value=0,015; mean rank=26,77:18,23) than lectures. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and accessibility of knowledge about CKD risk detection
Video Media Health Education on Knowledge, Attitudes, and Personal Hygiene Practices During Menstruation
No full textPoor personal hygiene during menstruation had a significant impact on morbidity and complications. Lack of menstrual hygiene awareness was influenced by knowledge and attitudes, as well as external factors such as parental, teacher, peer support, and exposure to information. This study aimed to determine the effect of video-based health education on knowledge, attitudes, and personal hygiene practices during menstruation. The study employed an experimental pre-posttest design. The study population consisted of 98 female students. The sample was divided into two groups: a control group and a treatment group. The results showed differences in the mean scores for knowledge (p-value=0,021), attitudes (p-value=0,000), and practices (p-value=0,000). Parental support (p-value=0,000), teacher support (p-value=0,000), and peer support (p-value=0,000) were identified as confounding factors affecting menstrual hygiene. There was a significant difference in the mean scores of knowledge, attitudes, and practices after the video education intervention. It is recommended that adolescent girls develop clean and healthy living habits by consistently maintaining genital hygiene, both during menstruation and outside of it
