Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Elderly’s Sleep Quality: A Pre-Experimental Study Dhian Satya Rachmawati, Nur Chabibah, and Ayu Citra Mayasari Dr Tarak Nath Podder Memorial Foundation Background & Aim: The aging process makes the sleep quality of older people tend to decrease and affects sleep and rest patterns in the elderly population. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is widely used to support clinical treatment. However, its use to address sleeping quality in the Indonesian elderly population is barely studied. This study aimed to determine the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the elderly’s sleep quality. Methods: The study used a pre-experimental design. The intervention variable was ten sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), while the outcome variable was the sleep quality in the elderly. The sample was 65 persons, selected by simple random sampling from the eligible elderly patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Naval Health Institute, Surabaya, Indonesia. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess the outcome and the data were analyzed with the Paired T-Test. Results: After receiving the HBOT, the average value of sleep quality in the elderly improved from 6.63 (poor category) to 4.35 (good category) with p = 0.001. The results indicate that HBOT could significantly improve sleep quality in the Indonesian elderly. Conclusions: HBOT can be used to treat elderly patients with sleep disorders. Further studies are needed to identify the long-term effect of HBOT on the outcome. Also, the provision of HBOT to improve sleep quality for the wider elderly population requires further investigation with a more rigorous methodology such as a randomized controlled trial.
Factors affecting individual beliefs associated with the quality of life of traditional divers in the coastal area Dhian Satya Rachmawati, Nur Chabibah, and Muh. Zul Azhri Rustam PAGEPress Publications Traditional divers in Surabaya’s coastal area face challenges despite the abundance of marine resources. This study aims to explore the factors that related to the quality of life among these divers. The research followed an observational analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. The study involved 31 traditional divers from Kedung Cowek Village in Surabaya, randomly selected based on specific criteria. The research utilised the Health Belief Model theory to assess individual beliefs and the WHOQOL-BREF tool to measure their quality of life. The individual beliefs were categorised into five indicators: perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, perceived obstacles, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy. Out of these factors, two had a significant influence on the quality of life of traditional divers: perceived benefits (p = 0.009) and self-efficacy (p = 0.020). The study concludes that the quality of life for traditional divers in the Surabaya coastal area is primarily influenced by perceived benefits and self-efficacy. It suggests that nearby healthcare facilities could offer health education to traditional divers, focusing on specific protective measures to reduce the risks associated with diving, such as barotrauma and decompression sickness.
The Impact of Frequency and Duration of Diving Activities on the Occurrence of Decompressive Sickness Nur Chabibah, Ayu Citra Mayasari, Dhian Satya Rachmawati, and Faridah Binti Mohd Said Lincoln University College Background: Diving activities have a risk of disease called decompression sickness. One of the risks for the incidence of decompression sickness is the number of hours of diving and diving experience. This study aims to analyze the number of dives in a week and the experience of diving on the occurrence of decompression sickness. Methods: The study used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 66 divers as research samples taken by simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and observations of divers' health status to see the incidence of decompression in divers. Data were analyzed using logistic regression with a significance value of P<0.05. Results: The results showed that the number of hours of diving in one week, and diving experience influenced the incidence of decompression sickness experienced by divers (p<0.05). The results of the regression test showed an Exp (B) value of 10,540 for the number of dives in a week, which means that the value of the number of dives in a week >10.5 hours tended to experience decompression compared to those with a number of dives <10.5 hours, and the Exp (B) value of 2,645 during the working period of a long dive. This means that diving experience of >2.6 years are more likely to experience decompression compared to those with experience <2.6 years. Conclusion: Monitoring diving activities and the complaints felt by divers after diving is needed as early detection of decompression sickness, providing appropriate activities, and reducing the impact of decompression sickness on divers.
CORRELATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDE ON VULVA HYGIENE PRACTICE AMONG STUDENTS OF SMPN 21 SURABAYA Puji Hastuti, Ni Made Wahyu Candra Purwani, Astrida Budiarti, Iis Fatimawati, and Nur Chabibah Lincoln University College Objective The aim of study was to determine the correlation of knowledge level and attitudes regarding vulva hygiene practicing of grade VIII students in SMPN 21 Surabaya. Methods Design of this study is a cross sectional observational analysis using cluster sampling technique with sample of 138 students. Variables of study were knowledge level, attitudes and practice of vulva hygiene. Data were analyzed using spearman rho test. In this study data were collected by questionnaire sheet. Results The results indicate that most of the students have a sufficient level of knowledge, positive attitudes and positive behavior. The results of the Spearman Rho analysis showed that there was no correlation knowledge level and vulva hygiene practice (? = 0.583) and there was a correlation attitude and vulva hygiene prsctice (? = 0.000). Conclusion Providing information by schools through audiovisuals about reproduction organs so that students are more interested in listening to information. Students should further increase their awareness regarding reproductive organs, especially in maintaining cleanliness to prevent bad effects such as fungal infection and cancer.
Development of QCM biosensor with specific cow milk protein antibody for candidate milk adulteration detection Setyawan P. Sakti, Nur Chabibah, Senja P. Ayu, Masdiana C. Padaga, and Aulanni’am Aulanni’am Hindawi Limited Adulteration of goat milk is usually done using cow’s milk product. Cow milk is used as it is widely available and its price is cheaper compared to goat milk. This paper shows a development of candidate tools for milk adulteration using cow milk. A quartz crystal microbalance immunosensor was developed using commercial crystal resonator and polyclonal antibody specific to cow milk protein. A specific protein at 208 KDa is found only in cow milk and does not exist in goat milk. The existence of this protein can be used as an indicator of cow milk content in a target solution. To detect the PSS 208 kDa protein, antibody specific to the PSS 208 was developed. The purified antibody was immobilized on top of the sensor surface on a polystyrene layer. The fraction of the immobilized antibody on the sensor was found at 1.5% of the given antibody. Using a static reaction cell, the developed immunosensor could detect the specific cow milk protein in buffer solution. The detection limit is 1 ppm. A linear relationship between frequency change and specific protein of cow milk concentration is found from a concentration of 1 ppm to 120 ppm.
