2025-10-02T04:32:42+07:00

Fish is beneficial for health due to its content of EPA, DHA, linoleic acid, iodine, protein, selenium, omega-3, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. Fish has the potential to be developed into fish oil. According to WHO, the consumption of fish oil can prevent the risk of mortality and improve health functions. However, fish consumption in toddlers is still low. A survey conducted on children in Indonesia showed that 45.1% experienced Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is known to play a role in the immune system as an immunomodulator and enhances innate immunity. This research aims to compare the vitamin D content of fish oil extracts from several types of freshwater fish and determine their fatty acid content. The researched fish will produce different fish oil and vitamin D content, necessitating research to assess the vitamin D content. Furthermore, fish oil with high vitamin D content can be considered a competent candidate for health supplements. Three types of fish, namely snakehead fish, eel, and catfish, were chosen as research samples. The research was conducted at the Integrated Laboratory of Poltekkes Medan and PPKS. This experimental research used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The data were then statistically analyzed using Anova with a significance level of 5%. The research results indicate that the highest vitamin D content is found in eel with alcohol solvent (12.2974 mg/l). The vitamin D content in snakehead fish with alcohol solvent is 7.8832 mg/l, while in catfish with alcohol solvent, it is 3.0069 mg/l. For fish oil with N-Hexane solvent, the vitamin D content in snakehead fish is 1.4096 mg/l, eel is 2.2489 mg/l, and catfish is 4.5706 mg/l.

2025-10-02T04:56:07+07:00

Worm infections remain a significant public health issue in Indonesia, with a high prevalence in many regions. These infections can adversely affect children's health, nutrition, intelligence, and overall productivity. Worms are transmitted through contaminated soil, and individuals become infected by ingesting eggs or larvae present in the soil. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of worm infections in children and analyze hygiene factors that contribute to the spread of these infections. Factors such as poor hygiene practices, including buying snacks carelessly, not washing hands after playing, not wearing shoes, and not regularly trimming nails, were observed. Stool examinations over two consecutive days revealed that seven children were infected with worm eggs. The breakdown included three children aged 6 years (6%), two children aged 5 years (4%), and two children aged 7 years (4%). Furthermore, a survey on personal hygiene showed that 76% of children did not maintain proper nail hygiene, 70% did not wash their hands before eating, and 80% did not take deworming medication regularly. These findings underscore the critical need for better education on personal hygiene and regular deworming to improve children's health and quality of life, ultimately reducing the prevalence of worm infections in the community.

PROVISION OF SOCIAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH IN TEENAGE PREGNANCY IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR LONG-TERM WELL-BEING

2025-10-03T01:18:37+07:00

Addressing social reproductive health in adolescent pregnancy is an important step to ensure long-term well-being, both for young mothers and their babies. This study aims to analyze the challenges, needs, and effective interventions in supporting pregnant adolescents from health, psychosocial, and economic aspects. This study uses a literature study. Article searches using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases from 2020 to 2024. The results of the study show that adolescent pregnancy has a significant impact on physical health, such as prenatal complications, anemia, and premature birth. In terms of psychosocial, pregnant adolescents face challenges such as social stigma, isolation, and limited family support. Intervention programs involving reproductive health education, family support, and access to adolescent-friendly health services have proven effective in reducing the risk of complications and improving the well-being of pregnant adolescents. However, obstacles such as the lack of health facilities in remote areas and the lack of trained medical personnel are still major obstacles. This study confirms that a multidisciplinary approach involving medical personnel, psychologists, social workers, and families is essential to support the well-being of pregnant adolescents. With appropriate interventions, social reproductive health care can not only have positive impacts on young mothers and their babies, but also contribute to the development of more inclusive and sustainable societies.

2025-10-03T01:41:51+07:00

Multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB) is triggered by a long treatment process and access to health facilities, potentially leading to TB treatment failure or lost to follow up. Various approaches in the treatment process have been carried out, but have not produced good results. To achieve the TB elimination target by 2030, new and innovative strategies are needed to identify TB, strengthen and expand laboratory-based surveillance, track initial loss to follow up (iLTFU) of MDR-TB patients, and develop TB vaccines. This study aims to design an application capable of tracking lost to follow up patients with a developed monitoring information system, which is expected to be able to send notifications for taking medication, visit schedules, patient tracking and TB-related education (SIMTb-Co application). The waterfall method was chosen to assess the use of SIMTb-Co (Comorbid Tb Monitoring Information System) application in several health centres in Medan City. The assessment of the use of the application has been started in June-August 2024 and it can be concluded that the SIMTb-Co application can be used in the service of pulmonary patients at Puskesmas and can show the treatment track record of pulmonary TB patients from the beginning of treatment until they are declared cured.

INFLUENCE OF THE ROLE OF DALIHAN NA TOLU IN PREVENTING TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS IN PADANGSIDIMPUAN CITY 2024

2025-10-03T01:44:31+07:00

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease condition that occurs due to damage to insulin production in the body (PERKENI, 2021). DM sufferers usually experience symptoms such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, blurred vision, rapid fatigue, and significant weight loss. An increase in blood sugar levels that exceeds normal limits, or hyperglycemia, can trigger various health complications. Dalihan Na Tolu (DNT) is a symbol of three indigenous community groups working together to resolve various existing affairs, problems and burdens. Principles such as togetherness, mutual cooperation, rights and obligations, and love to maintain family relationships are highly respected in this culture Apart from that, DNT also plays an important role in regulating and guiding individual behavior in the social life of society. This research uses a qualitative approach with the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method. This method was chosen because it was considered appropriate for designing a health promotion model based on Dalihan Na Tolu (DNT) in an effort to prevent Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the at-risk Mandailing ethnic group in Padangsidimpuan City. Before this study was conducted, there were 34 people or 85% categorised as high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and 6 people or 15% categorised as low risk. After this study was conducted. There is 38 people or 95% categorized as low risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 2 people or 5 % categorised low risk. Health promotion with the Dalihan Na Tolu approach as a measure to prevent type 2 diabetes mellitus includes promotive and preventive efforts, without neglecting curative and rehabilitative aspects. The main objective of this approach is to reduce morbidity, disability and mortality from type 2 diabetes mellitus.
