Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia due to malnutrition especially in developing countries. Adolescents are one of the major groups of risk for anemia. The condition can lead to impaired brain functions resulting to a decrease in learning ability and academic performance. Medicinal foods, in particular, red guava, have been used for decades to treat several ailments of humans. There is paucity of human data on the effects of red guava on anemic conditions. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of red guava juice on hemoglobin and hematocrit levels with iron supplementation in adolescent female students with anemia. Methods: The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Dharma Husada Institute of Health Sciences, Bandung, Indonesia. The study was conducted among high school students of Tomo Secondary School, Sumedang, Bandung, Indonesia. Out of 236 female adolescent students, a total of ...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of foot bathing therapy on heart rate variability (HRV) parameters in a healthy population. Methods: Participants were twenty healthy female subjects (median age=20.67 years, SD=1.04). The recording ECG was applied for 5 minutes before and for 5 minutes after foot bathing therapy of 10 minutes. Subjects rested for 10 minutes without recording ECG in order to stabilize autonomic parameters. The digital signals were then transferred to a laptop and analyzed using LabChart® software (MLS310/7 HRV Module). Results: Almost all HRV parameters increased and heart (pulse) rate and LF/HF ratio decreased after foot bathing therapy compared with before foot bathing therapy. Conclusions: These results indicate for the first time in humans that foot bathing might induce a state of balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems and might b...

Salah satu faktor penyebab ECC adalah tindakan orang tua dalam praktek pencegahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan praktek orang tua dalam pencegahan ECC pada anak prasekolah. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif pendekatan cross sectional pada sampel sebanyak 53 orang tua dari siswa program pendidikan anak usia dini (PAUD) dengan pengumpulan data menggunakan kuisioner. Hasil penelitian diperoleh sebagian besar orang tua memiliki praktek pencegahan ECC yang baik (64,2%). Hasil analisis membuktikan adanya hubungan antara sikap dan norma perilaku dengan praktek pencegahan ECC (p<0,05), sedangkan kontrol perilaku tidak berhubungan dengan praktek pencegahan ECC (p>0,05). Disarankan bagi orang tua untuk melakukan pendampingan dan pengawasan dalam praktek pencegahan ECC pada anak prasekolah dan bagi pihak sekolah serta instansi kesehatan untuk melakukan edukasi kesehatan gigi dan mulut secara rutin.

Seni Usik Wiwitan yang berasal dari budaya Jawa Barat dapat dipraktikkan oleh ibu hamil untuk menjaga kesehatan fisik dan psikisnya. Seni ini terdiri dari 2 bentuk aktivitas yaitu latihan ngajurus berupa olah tubuh dan olah nafas dan latihan tumekung berupa meditasi olah rasa. Kedua aktivitas tersebut dilakukan diiringi dengan doa kepada Sang Mahakuasa. Melalui praktik senam hamil yang telah menjadi program pemerintah dan dikombinasikan dengan seni Usik Wiwitan diharapkan kesehatan fisik dan psikis ibu hamil tetap terjaga sehingga dapat bersalin dengan aman. Tujuan: Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui pengaruh kombinasi senam hamil dan seni Usik Wiwitan terhadap kesehatan ibu hamil. Metode: desain penelitian ini adalah quasi experiment dengan subjek yang berasal dari wilayah kerja Puskesmas Ibrahim Adjie Kota Bandung, sebanyak 41 orang ibu hamil trimester III yang dalam kondisi sehat. Penetapan kelompok intervensi dan kontrol dilakukan secara random. Intervensi yang diberikan adalah senam hamil yang dilanjutkan dengan latihan seni Usik Wiwitan berupa ngajurus dan tumekung selama 16 kali pertemuan dalam 8 minggu, sedangkan kelompok kontrol hanya melakukan senam hamil saja dalam waktu yang sama. Parameter yang diukur adalah kondisi fisik (tekanan darah, protein urine dan kondisi edema) dan psikis dengan menggunakan instrumen kecemasan yaitu State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Hasil: Hasil uji pre dan post test pada kelompok kontrol dan intervensi menunjukkan bahwa ada beda antara kelompok ibu hamil yang mendapat intervensi senam hamil dengan kombinasi seni Usik Wiwitan. Pada kelompok intervensi di pertemuan ke-8 dan ke-16 mengalami penurunan tekanan darah, protein urine dan tingkat kecemasan yang lebih signifikan dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol. Kesimpulan: Seni Usik Wiwitan yang berasal dari budaya lokal Jawa Barat memberikan pengaruh yang positif pada kondisi kesehatan fisik dan psikis ibu hamil trimester III. Saran: Seni Usik Wiwitan dapat dijadikan rujukan bagi program dinas kesehatan sebagai model intervensi berbasis budaya lokal untuk kehamilan yang sehat dan persalinan yang aman dan tidak berisiko.

The therapy is used to relieve the symptoms of several ailments. For instance, foot reflexotherapy when applied to the cortical areas of the left or right foot relieves pain and stress. However, the electrophysiological mechanisms of the effect of foot reflexotherapy on cortical activity are not completely understood. While it has been shown that foot reflexotherapy exert positive effects on brain functions, little is known about the effects of this therapy on cortical activities as recorded with electroencephalogram (EEG) in healthy humans. Cortical activity is widely investigated with EEG, a noninvasive recording that is used to study brain activity in different functional states and conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of foot reflexotherapy on EEG rhythms in healthy humans. EEG recording before and after reflexologica...

The prolonged delivery which occurs in the latent phase is also called prolonged latent phase, a labor which lasts over eight hours of labor in primigravida. This research was started by the society’s custom of consuming fruits that are beneficial to smooth a labor process, consuming pineapples. Pineapples contain high amounts of vitamin C, sugar, vitamin A, a number of minerals, and an enzyme called bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme that stimulates the production of prostaglandin. The increased prostaglandin causes contractions in the uterine muscle so that labor occurs. This study aims to determine the effect of pineapple juice towards the duration of the first stage of the latent phase. The method of this research was quasi experimental. The study was conducted in July to September 2018 at Ciruas Public Health Center, Serang, Banten. The sample in this study was 80 mothers in latent phase. Sampling was ta...
