Authors:Yuyun Bella Ria Br Batubara, Rani Lisa Indra, Lita Lita Pages: 75 - 82 Abstract: To cancer patients, families are the first home care and support providers who help meet all their needs. This study aims to define their actions that help the patients deal with the side effects of chemotherapy at home. This is a descriptive quantitative research involving cancer outpatients who are taking chemotherapies in Arifin Achmad Hospital of Riau Province. A consecutive sampling technique obtained 134 families as samples, from which the data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed univariately. The results showed several major actions in helping their members get through the side effects of chemotherapy, which include helping overcome nausea and vomiting by providing preferable food (in as many as 84 patients or 63%), helping overcome hair loss by keeping hair short and easy to manage (in as many as 54 patients or 40.5%), helping overcome fatigue by assisting to manage routines (in as many as 83 patients or 62.2%), helping battle appetite loss by preparing favorite foods on demand (in as many as 99 patients or 74.2%), and helping overcome diarrhea by giving 8-10 glasses of water per day (in as many as 91 patients or 68.2%). These actions have given proper results in helping the patients overcome chemotherapy side effects at home. Therefore, our study is expected to be a reference for other families whose members are dealing with similar conditions.

This quality has made it the second most commonly used in everyday life, including in disposable medical face masks. While the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an escalation of the face masks use in the last two years, their abundant waste, which is difficult to decompose naturally, can have a negative impact on the environment and human health. The purpose of this study was to obtain isolates of PP decomposing bacteria from the landfill in Ngipik, Gresik. The isolates were obtained from soil samples in the landfill. Bacterial isolates were tested for their ability to degrade PP during the 28 days of the liquid phase. The data obtained were bacterial growth data and PP degradation. There were three isolates that had the potential to decompose PP, namely NG 1, NG 2, and NG 3. It was concluded that the NG2 bacterial isolate is able to decompose PP by 0.47%. Based on the results of 16S sRNA, these three tended to be in the genus of Bacillus. The results of this study are expected to enrich the data of potential local bacteria to decompose PP obtained from Gresik landfill areas.

Authors:Rolyn Frisca Djamanmona, Oktovina Mobalen Pages: 96 - 101 Abstract: The combination of African leaf nanoparticle hydrogel (Vernonia amygdalina) and Papuan honey in modern dressing to heal wound in grade II diabetic patients can reduce the care day length and amputation risk for upper or lower extremity areas that are often affected and wounded in the event of hyperglycemia. Wound care is performed every 3 days for 20 days based on the physiological process in the proliferative phase of wound healing. The diabetic wound was assessed using the Bates Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT). The research was experimental with pre- and post-test control group design. The results showed that the 20-day wound care with this combination could reduce the BWAT score by 5.2, a sign of its effectiveness as compared to the control group reduction by 4.33. Conclusively, performing a modern dressing using this combination for 30-45 minutes every 3 days for 20 days was effective in accelerating the healing process of grade II diabetic wounds.

This may make interpersonal working cooperation difficult to achieve. Hence, this study attempts to evaluate the differences between public and private hospital working cultures on the job satisfaction index in the millennial generation. We used AIH public hospital and AIS private hospital in Bandung to conduct the study. All employees were of the millennial generation (born 1981-2000). The job satisfaction index includes passion, salary, supervision, work colleagues, and working conditions. It has a maximum score of 75 and a minimum score of 15. P-value <0.05 was defined as significant differences. The results showed that private hospitals have a job satisfaction index score of passion (50.22±6.51 vs. 42.32±8.01; p= 0.042), salary (51.49±11.54 vs. 27.92±6.61; p= 0.033), supervision (66.78±4.82 vs. 53.32±11.04; p= 0.073), and working conditions (61.41±7.59 vs. 37.72±9.52; p= 0.139) that are higher than public hospitals. The work colleagues’ score was the only higher in public hospitals (35.81±8.98 vs. 29.91±5.94; p= 0.040). This present study showed differences between public and private hospital working cultures on the job satisfaction index in the millennial generation.

Authors:Dwi Martha Nur Aditya, Adhimas Setyo Wicaksono, Acik Afandi, Lady Theresa Adeodata, Lisa Thalia Mulyanata Pages: 123 - 130 Abstract: Formaldehyde had some degree of toxicity in the human body as a cadaver preservation solution. Recent studies showed that moderate formaldehyde levels in cadavers could neutralize SARS-CoV-2. However, other effects of formaldehyde levels in the air are not yet known on bacteria. This study aims to determine the optimal level of formaldehyde that can be used to neutralize bacteria and is safe for humans. This study used a post-test control group design with formaldehyde level as the independent variable and bacterial colonization as the dependent variable. The results showed that the mean levels of formaldehyde with the bacterial colony respectively were P1 (1.378±0.716; 0.40±0.10), P2 (0.347±0.038; 1.40±0.10), P3 (0.137±0.006; 2.40 ±0.10), P4 (0.042±0.005; 3.32±0.09), and P5 (0.009±0016; 4.40±0.10). The statistical analysis results revealed a value of p<0.05, which indicated that the higher the formaldehyde level, the higher the ability to neutralize bacterial activity. The study concluded the optimum level for neutralizing bacterial activity safe for humans is about 0347±0038 mg/m3. PubDate: 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.31983/jrk.v11i2.9234 Issue No:Vol. 11, No. 2 (2022)
Authors:Supriati Wila Djami, Meirina Loaloka Pages: 131 - 135 Abstract: Pork is a very difficult meat to digest because it contains a lot of fat and pork causes many diseases, namely hardening of the arteries, increased blood pressure, excruciating chest pain (angina pectoris) and inflammation of the joints and if pork is consumed it can affect the organs in the body. This study aims to determine the effect of pork consumption on blood pressure, hemoglobin levels and total cholesterol levels. This research was conducted on people who often consume pork in Baun village, Amarasi Barat sub-district, with as many as 51 respondents consisting of 20 males and 31 females.

So it can be conclude that consuming pork can increase cholesterol levels in the body blood. PubDate: 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.31983/jrk.v11i2.9214 Issue No:Vol. 11, No. 2 (2022)
Authors:Ardi Soesilo Wibowo, Edy Cahyono, Retno Sri Iswari, Kholik Al Amin, Marichatul Jannah Pages: 136 - 141 Abstract: The rate of exposure to X-ray radiation on the radiation shielding wall at the Laboratory 3 of Radiology Study Program Purwokerto Diploma Three Program has been analyzed, to find out the difference in the effectiveness of the radiation shielding wall between a 10 cm thick Lead (2 mm) coated partition and a 28 cm thick stucco brick wall. Measurements were made using a radiation source, namely a mobile unit X-ray machine with a Fluke survey meter radiation measuring instrument. Measurement of the rate of exposure to X-ray radiation is carried out by adjusting the distance of the radiation source with the radiation shield wall from 100 cm, 150 cm and 200 cm and taken from 5 measurement points that represent the radiation shield wall. The measurement results show that measurement point C produces the highest radiation exposure rate and measurement point A produces the lowest radiation exposure rate for Do and D. There is a radiation exposure rate of more than 1 μSv/Hr after passing through a 10 cm thick Lead-coated partition wall (2 mm) at a distance of 100 cm to 150 cm. Radiation shielding walls of walls covered with stucco bricks with a thickness of 28 cm were more effective than partitions covered with lead (2 mm) with a thickness of 10 cm. It is necessary to pay attention to aspects of radiation protection, the use of a mobile unit X-ray machine in placing the X-ray tube in the direction of the X-ray tube and, the radiation source distance of at least 2 meters from the lead-coated partition radiation wall.
