Relationship between High Fat Diet and Risk of Hyperlipidaemia in Primary School Children in Surabaya

2025-06-27T05:39:32+00:00

The prevalence of hyperlipidaemia in children in Indonesia is 84.7%, which is very high. Although the health consequences of overweight in children are still poorly studied compared to adults, overweight in children has been consistently reported as a major risk factor for future metabolic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. This study focuses specifically on primary school children only and the research location is in Surabaya. The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between the level of fat consumption and blood lipid levels in primary school children. This research method is cross-sectional. In this study, data were collected using the Modified Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and measurement of total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglyceride levels through blood samples and analysed using chi square test and spearman correlation using SPSS Software. The results found that elementary school children who rarely consume high-fibre foods have a 6x greater risk of hyperlipidemia than in the category of frequent consumption of high-fibre foods. Suggestions for future research are expected to analyse hyperlipidemia in children and be associated with gender in elementary school students in order to know more in-depth differences.

Evaluation of Digital Maturity Level of Citra Husada Jember Hospital as a Strategy to Support Health Transformation

2025-07-01T05:41:00+00:00

The digital transformation of healthcare services demands hospital readiness in adopting integrated information systems. This study aimed to assess the digital maturity level of RS Citra Husada Jember using the Digital Maturity Instrument version 1.1 from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia which includes seven main components: information systems and infrastructure, standards and interoperability, management and governance, data analysis, human resources, information security, and utilisation of electronic medical records and patient-centred services. This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design involving six internal hospital stakeholders through structured discussions. Results showed good digital maturity, with the highest scores in management and governance (4.5) and EMR (4.3), while the lowest scores were found in external interoperability (1.7) and data analytics. These findings emphasise the importance of strengthening digital infrastructure, improving digital literacy of health workers, and system integration to support the national OneHealth policy.

Effects of Deep Breathing Exercise and Exercise Therapy on Pain in Postoperative Scoliosis Patients

2025-07-23T03:09:21+00:00

Scoliosis is a spinal disorder that causes an abnormal sideways curvature of more than 10 degrees and can have a significant impact on quality of life. In severe cases of scoliosis, surgery is performed to prevent the progression of the curvature. However, postoperative pain (post op scoliosis) is one of the main complaints that can hinder the recovery process. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Deep Breathing Exercise and Exercise Therapy interventions in reducing pain in post op scoliosis patients. The case study was conducted on one patient who underwent intervention six times from 20 April to 2 May 2025. Pain evaluation was performed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) every therapy session. The results showed a decrease in pressure pain from a score of 4 to 2 and motion pain from a score of 6 to 4, with silent pain remaining at a score of 0. This decrease indicates that the combination of Deep Breathing Exercise and Exercise Therapy interventions is effective in reducing pain in postoperative scoliosis patients.

Effect of Motor-Cognitive Dual Task Training on Cognitive Function in patients with Dementia

2025-07-23T03:20:56+00:00

Dementia is a progressive neurological condition characterised by a decline in cognitive function, memory and behaviour, which significantly affects an individual's activities of daily living. As the number of elderly increases, the prevalence of dementia also shows an increasing trend and is a major challenge in geriatric health services. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of motor-cognitive dual-task training in improving cognitive function in the elderly with dementia. This research uses a case study method on one subject who meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The intervention was conducted for four weeks, totaling 12 sessions with a frequency of three times per week. Each session lasted 30-45 minutes and consisted of a combination of physical activities performed in conjunction with cognitive tasks. The exercises were designed to stimulate various domains of cognitive function as measured by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), including orientation, attention and calculation, short-term memory, language, and visuospatial abilities. Evaluation of cognitive function was conducted using the MMSE before and after the intervention. The results showed an increase in MMSE score from 21 to 24, indicating an improvement in cognitive function by 14.3%, although still in the mild dementia category. These findings support that motor-cognitive dual-task training can be an effective physiotherapy approach to improve cognitive function in patients with dementia.

Effectiveness of Balance and Functional Exercises in Enhancing Quality of Life among Older Adults with Physical Frailty

2025-07-23T16:36:57+00:00

Abstrak. Lansia dengan physical frailty mengalami penurunan kemampuan fisik seperti kekuatan otot, keseimbangan, dan aktivitas fungsional, yang berdampak langsung terhadap kualitas hidup. Kondisi ini memerlukan intervensi fisioterapi yang tepat untuk mendukung peningkatan fungsi dan kemandirian. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh balance exercise dan functional exercise terhadap peningkatan kualitas hidup lansia dengan physical frailty. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi kasus dengan satu partisipan lansia yang menjalani 12 sesi intervensi fisioterapi. Latihan yang diberikan meliputi Standing Marching, Heel Raises, Chair Squats, dan Sit-to-Stand, dengan fokus pada penguatan otot, peningkatan koordinasi, dan stabilitas tubuh. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan WHOQOL-BREF sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Hasil: Menunjukkan adanya peningkatan fungsi fisik dan skor kualitas hidup dari nilai 40 dengan kategori buruk menjadi nilai 45 dengan kategori sedang, meskipun belum signifikan secara kuantitatif dalam jangka waktu intervensi yang singkat. Kesimpulan: Balance exercise dan functional exercise berpotensi efektif dalam meningkatkan kualitas hidup lansia dengan physical frailty jika dilakukan secara konsisten dan dalam durasi yang lebih panjang. Program ini dapat direkomendasikan sebagai bagian dari intervensi fisioterapi pada populasi lansia.
