Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are disorders that occur in muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints. Complaints of MSDs often occur in adolescent school-age individuals, thus requiring health education through animated video media regarding early prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic attitudes. This study aims to identify the influence of using animated videos on the level of knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits and to analyze the relationship between MSDs knowledge and postural habits. This research used a Quasi-Experimental method with a pretest-posttest approach with a control group. The convenience sampling technique was used with 75 samples. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis, namely with difference and cross-tabulation tests. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents were female, 16 years old, with normal body mass index (BMI), parents' education level of high school, and income above the minimum wage. There were differences in the level of knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits in the intervention and control groups, with obtained values of p = 0.006 and p = 0.016 (p < α, α = 0.05). There was a relationship between the level of knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits, with an obtained value of p = 0.013 (p < α, α = 0.05). Thus, it is concluded that the provision of animated videos significantly influences knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits.

In Silico of AMHRII Receptor Binding and Toxicity Prediction of Clitoria ternatea

2024-12-23T12:18:36+00:00

Clitoria ternatea compounds show significant potential as herbal drug candidates for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) through improving anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) parameters. This study aims to evaluate the potential of these compounds in binding to AMHRII receptors using an in silico approach. Several compounds, baicalein, isorhamnetin, and malvidin, showed high binding affinity towards AMHRII receptors, approaching or even surpassing some control drugs. These compounds have favorable toxicity profiles, with high LD50s, suggesting low toxicity and high safety potential for therapeutic use. Some compounds, such as isorhamnetin, termination, petunidin, malvidin, cyanidin, luteolin, and protocatechuic acid, have an unfavorable number of hydrogen donors, as does gallic acid, which has an unfavorable number of hydrogen acceptors. The development of technologies that improve bioavailability and pharmacokinetics can overcome these challenges. Further studies in vivo are needed to confirm the effectiveness and safety of these compounds in potential clinical therapies and develop innovative herbal therapies for Clitoria ternatea-based PCOS.

The Relationship of Workload with the Quality of Nursing Services in Hemodialysis Installations

2024-12-23T12:16:48+00:00

The quality of nursing services for hemodialysis patients is determined by the role and performance of nurses. High workloads are often the reason nurses leave work, which can disrupt the continuity of patient care. A high workload can have a negative impact on the quality of nurses' work, while a balanced workload can improve the quality of work. This study used a cross-section design with a sample of 35 hemodialysis nurses at RSUD Dr. Soetomo. The research was carried out in the Hemodialysis room at Dr Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. Research data regarding workload and service quality variables was collected through questionnaires. Research data was processed using Spearmen rho with a p-value ≤ 0.05. The statistical test results show that the p-value is 0.000, so it can be interpreted that H0 is rejected. This indicates a relationship between nurses' workload and the quality of hemodialysis services. The workload creates optimal nurse performance in carrying out actions. The performance of nurses in hemodialysis tasks, which are quite complex, with the number of patients being disproportionate to the number of nurses, has an effect on the quality of nursing services.
