Implementasi Program Sanitasi Jamban Sehat Di Desa Sumorame
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis implementasi program sanitasi jamban sehat di Desa Sumorame, Kecamatan Candi, Kabupaten Sidoarjo. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif untuk memperoleh pemahaman mendalam tentang pelaksanaan program. Sumber data utama diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dengan perangkat desa, warga penerima manfaat, serta pihak terkait yang terlibat dalam program. Penelitian ini berfokus pada aspek-aspek implementasi kebijakan menggunakan teori Van Meter dan Van Horn sebagai kerangka analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi program berhasil meningkatkan akses terhadap fasilitas sanitasi yang layak dan menurunkan angka perilaku buang air besar sembarangan di Desa Sumorame, meskipun terdapat kendala pada keterbatasan anggaran dan persepsi ketidakmerataan di antara warga

Promoting physical activity among undergraduate nursing students during their medical-surgical rotation
No full textPurpose: Poor physical activity can often lead to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders. Busy lifestyles and high stress levels observed among undergraduate student nurses often lead to poor maintenance of one’s physical health. This apparent problem of weight gain within nursing academia prompts our exploration of potential quality improvement strategies to counter this issue in nursing health and society.
Methodology: This study aims to develop a self-care regimen that includes regular physical activity, establish the feasibility of such an intervention, and implement it among a small sample group of ten students enrolled in an RN program in New Jersey. The intervention will include periodic participant interviews, diary entries, and physical fitness measurement (weight, BMI, and waist circumference) over the course of a typical 12-week term.
Results: By the end of the study, using participant interviews as well as quantitative data, we will gain a more complete understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of officially promoting a physical fitness regimen as part of a student nurse’s coursework.
Implications for Practice: This evaluation will provide new perspective on the mental health benefits and drawbacks of taking time for promoted physical activity while enrolled in coursework and simultaneously occupied by all of life’s responsibilities. By potentially improving nurses’ physical and mental health, we can hope to also make an impact on people with whom they work everyday and the practice as a whole.DNPIncludes bibliographical reference
The attenuation of pain behaviour and serum interleukin-6 concentration by nimesulide in a rat model of neuropathic pain Author's personal copy
No full texta b s t r a c t Background: Evidence for a role of immune system in hyperalgesic pain states is increasing. Recent work in neuroimmunology suggests that the immune system does more than simply perform its well known functions of recognizing and removing invading pathogens and tumors. Interest in neuroinflammation and neuroimmune activation has grown rapidly in recent years with the recognition of the role of central nervous system inflammatiom and immune responses in the aetiology of pain states. Among various theories, the role of inflammatory responses of the injured nerve has recently received attention. Cytokines are heterogenous group of polypeptides that activate the immune system and mediate inflammatory responses, acting on a variety of tissue, including the peripheral and central nervous system. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is potentially important in pain aetiology, have pronociceptive actions. Neuropathic pain may be due to a primary insult to the peripheral or central nervous system. Substances released during inflammation from immune cells play an important role in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. Nimesulide, a highly selective cox-2 inhibitor, effectively reduces hyperalgesia due to peripherally administration of inflammatory agents like formalin. The safety of nimesulide was reported for some conditions in which other NSAIDs are contraindicated. Here we have determined the effect of nimesulide on pain behaviour and serum IL-6 level in chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of neuropathic pain. Methods: Experiments were carried out on male Wistar rats, (weight 150-200 g, n = 8). Rats were divided into 3 different groups: 1-CCI + saline 0.9% 2-Sham + saline 0.9% (control) 3-CCI + drug. Nimesulide (1.25, 2.5, 5 mg/kg, i.p.) was injected 1h before surgery and continued daily to day 14 post-ligation. 42 • C water for thermal hyperalgesia, von Frey filaments for mechanical allodynia, acetone test for cool allodynia and 10 • C water for cold hyperalgesia were respectively used as pain behavioural tests. Behavioural tests were recorded before surgery and on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 and the serum concentration of IL-6 was determined at the day 14. Results: The results of this study showed a decrease in hyperalgesia and allodynia following nimesulide administration. Conclusions: It appears that nimesulide was able to reduce pain behaviour due to nerve inflammation and a parallel decrease in the serum IL-6 concentration was observed. Implications: The immune system is an important mediator in the cascade of events that ultimately results in hyperalgesia. Cytokines contribute to the patheogenesis of neuropathic pain, therefore drugs that inhibit cytokine release from immune cells may reduce inflammatory pain states
