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.

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.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Vector Control Programmes in Hospitals Using the CIPP Approach: A Case Study at Dr. Wahidin Sudiro Husodo General Hospital, Mojokerto City

2025-07-30T16:42:58+00:00

Environmental health is a critical factor in preventing vector-borne diseases in hospitals. The Dr. Wahidin Sudiro Husodo General Hospital in Mojokerto City has implemented a vector control programme in accordance with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation No. 2 of 2023. However, monitoring results indicate that the larval index (LI) remains below the standard threshold of ≥95%, while rodent and cockroach densities exceed the established limits. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the vector control programme using the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, Product). The research method used was qualitative descriptive with SWOT analysis. Data were collected through observations and interviews with sanitation officers in 32 hospital service units. The evaluation results showed that the context, input, and process aspects met the requirements, with each receiving high scores. However, in the product aspect, weaknesses were still found in mosquito and rat population control. Based on the SWOT analysis, the programme is in the aggressive strategy quadrant, which emphasises the utilisation of internal strengths and external opportunities to improve vector control effectiveness. Key recommendations include expanding programme coverage to areas outside the hospital, strengthening the involvement of internal health workers, and modernising the technology-based monitoring system. With the optimisation of these strategies, it is hoped that the vector control programme will be more effective in maintaining environmental health standards in hospitals.

2025-11-10T07:19:39+00:00

Oral health is an important aspect of comprehensive health and plays a significant role in children's growth. If disturbed, this condition can affect children's overall development and physical health, as well as reduce their quality of life. Dental caries in early childhood is a major concern because it reflects the effectiveness of dental health maintenance efforts. The problem in this study is the high percentage of dental caries in group B students at Al-Barokah Blega Bangkalan Kindergarten, which is likely caused by a lack of knowledge about dental caries, frequent consumption of cariogenic foods, minimal motivation, and irregular access to health services, especially dental health services, at Al-Barokah Blega Bangkalan Kindergarten. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using the Dental Coloring Book media on changes in knowledge about dental caries among Group B students at Al Barokah Kindergarten in Blega sub-district, Bangkalan district. This research is a quantitative study with a pre-experimental design of the one-group pretest-posttest type, in which a pretest will be given before the intervention and a posttest after the intervention. This study involved 30 respondents from group B of Al-Barokah Blega Bangkalan kindergarten. Data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon test, with a result of sig = 0.000 < 0.05. This means that the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted, indicating that counselling using the Dental Coloring Book medium was effective in improving the knowledge of Group B students at Al-Barokah Blega Bangkalan Kindergarten in 2025.
