Adolescent pregnancy under the age of 20 is a problem of adolescent reproductive health which is of concern to various groups. The prevalence rate of adolescents who have had sexual intercourse in Poso Regency is 86.1% and some of them experience unwanted pregnancies. The purpose of this activity is to educate adolescents about the importance of preparing for the pre-conception period in an effort to improve the quality of future generations. The type of research used is quantitative with pre-experimental methods. The planning used is one group pre-test and post-test design. The total population in the study was 154 respondents. The number of samples is 34 respondents. The sampling technique uses Simple Random Sampling. The research instrument used a questionnaire and snakes and ladders media. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test with a significant α<0.05. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed that the p value was 0.000 which was less than the significant value (p<0.05) indicating that reproductive health education using the snakes and ladders method increased knowledge about preconceptional preparation. Education with the snake and ladder method is very effective and must be implemented to students in increasing the preparation for the preconception period.

Dysmenorrhea is caused by hormonal imbalances that trigger lower abdominal pain, which may radiate to the suprapubic region, lower back, medial thighs, and perineum. Dysmenorrhea typically occurs 1–2 days before or during menstruation, causing disruptions in concentration and increased anxiety. Non-pharmacological management of dysmenorrhea with SJKT (Lemongrass, Ginger, Turmeric, Curcuma Xanthorrhiza) formulations, containing gingerol, shogaol, essential oils, flavonoids, polyphenols, and curcumin exerts analgesic effects that are effective in reducing pain. To analyze the effectiveness of SJKT formulations in reducing menstrual pain associated with dysmenorrhea. A true experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest control group design was employed. The intervention group received SJKT formulations, while the control group consumed young coconut water, 300 ml/day for 4 days. The Wilcoxon test for the intervention group yielded a p-value of 0.001, while the control group had a p-value of 0.157. The Mann-Whitney test produced a p-value of 0.022, showing a significant difference between the two groups, as the SJKT formulation is more effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain compared to young coconut water. SJKT formulation effectively reduces dysmenorrhea pain. Further studies could involve larger samples for more comprehensive results.

Labor pain is a feeling and emotional reaction that begins with regular contractions, helping to open the birth canal. It can lead to higher blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate. Unmanaged pain can increase worry and anxiety. This research sought to evaluate how a birthing ball influences labor discomfort during the initial active stage. The research design is a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest. The study population includes 45 active phase I maternity mothers. Accidental sampling is used, with a sample size of 28 people. Univariate analysis uses a frequency distribution table, and bivariate analysis uses the Wilcoxon test. Based on the results of the study obtained an average of labor pain in mothers before the intervention, as many as 26 people (92.9%) respondents were in severe pain. After the intervention, the average labor pain of 21 people (75%) of respondents decreased to moderate pain. Based on the test mc near test between pretest and posttest values obtained a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05) so that it can be concluded that there is an influence of birth ball in reducing the pain scale of maternity mothers during the first active phase. The birth ball reduces the pain scale of maternity mothers in the first active phase.

Survival Outcomes in Invasive Candidiasis: Exploring the Role of Chronic Disease Prevention and Healthy Lifestyle in Malaysia

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a life-threatening fungal infection, particularly prevalent among patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The rising incidence of NCDs in Malaysia poses a significant challenge to IC management and patient survival. Objective of this study was to determine the median survival time of IC patients in Malaysia and explore the relationship between survival outcomes, chronic disease prevention.

This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 445 patients diagnosed with IC at a tertiary hospital in Malaysia. Data on sociodemographics, comorbidities, clinical presentation, Candida species, treatment and patients outcome were collected and analysed using Kaplan-Meier survival estimates.

The median survival time for IC patients was 21 days, with significant variations based on age, ethnicity, and comorbidities. Patients with diabetes on insulin therapy exhibited a lower mortality risk, likely due to better glycemic control and higher health-seeking behavior. Candida parapsilosis infections were associated with higher survival rates, while Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis infections were linked to poorer outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of tailored treatment strategies that consider patient comorbidities and the specific Candida species involved. Integrating preventive measures for NCDs and promoting healthy lifestyle practices are crucial for improving IC patient survival

Management of Anemia in Pregnant Women with Non-Pharmacological Methods: Literature Review

Rossa Amelinda Nurdiana, Arum Meiranny — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Pregnancy is a physiological process in a woman. A pregnant woman will
experience changes in her body system during pregnancy. Pregnant women will be
susceptible to anemia due to several things such as hemodilution and lack of iron
intake. Anemia is included in a global problem which in Indonesia itself has a
relatively high incidence rate, namely 48.9% in 2018, so an effective strategy is
needed to overcome this problem. The aim of this research is to determine the non-
pharmacological management of anemia in pregnancy. The method used was a
literature review of 10 research articles contained in computerized databases
(Google Scholar and Wiley) in the last 5 years using the keywords anemia, anemia
management, non-pharmacology and pregnancy. As a result, non-pharmacological
treatment of pregnancy with anemia can be done by consuming tomato herbal tea,
chayote, mung bean juice, vegetable juice combined with various other ingredients
such as spinach-lime-honey juice, dates, tempeh, and jackfruit seed milk, because
the high vitamin C and iron contained in it make it a good source of nutrients to
increase hemoglobin production and maintain body health. The conclusion is,
vitamin C and iron are an ideal combination of compounds to overcome anemia in
pregnant women, because iron helps the production of hemoglobin and vitamin C
increase iron absorption, thereby helping to overcome and prevent anemia and
improve the health of the mother and fetus
