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

Vincentia Maria Iriane — 2025-06-27

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.

Dewa Ngakan Gde Wahyu Mahatma Putra — 2025-06-30

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

Renni Hidayati Zein — 2025-07-04

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

Sari Triyulianti — 2025-07-08

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.
