KADAR THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE SERUM BERKORELASI POSITIF DENGAN DERAJAT KEPARAHAN MELASMA
type: item
description: Melasma merupakan hipermelanosis akuisita pada kulit yang sering terpapar matahari, terutama wajah. Patogenesisnya bersifat multifaktorial dan kompleks, dengan salah satu faktor resiko pencetus hormon tiroid. Peningkatan Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) dapat meningkatkan proses melanogenesis yang diduga melalui peningkatan Adenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH). Studi cross sectional ini melibatkan 40 subyek melasma dan 10 subyek non melasma. Kadar TSH serum pada subyek melasma (median 2,0; IQR 5,1) secara signifikan lebih tinggi dibandingkan subyek non melasma (median 1,1; IQR 0,5; p=0,034). Penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat korelasi bermakna positif sedang antara kadar TSH serum dengan derajat keparahan melasma, dengan tiap kenaikan 1 mIU/L TSH serum akan disertai peningkatan skor MASI sebesar 2,01. Derajat keparahan melasma dapat dipengaruhi oleh kadar TSH serum. (r = 0,441; p < 0,004; β =2,013; p=0,001; R2= 23,7%).

Correlation Between Glomerular Filtration Rate and Serum Uric Acid/Creatinine Ratio in Pre-dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease Patients at Ngoerah Hospital Denpasar
type: item
description: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a structural and functional kidney abnormalities for over three months. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an index to measure overall kidney function. Decreased renal excretory function leads to elevated serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels. The serum uric acid/creatinine ratio is recently recognized as an indicator of kidney function deterioration. The purpose of this study to determine the correlation between GFR and serum uric acid/creatinine ratio in pre-dialysis CKD patients at Ngoerah Hospital Denpasar. A cross-sectional analytical observational study was performed on 50 pre-dialysis CKD patients at Ngoerah Hospital Denpasar from 2022 to 2023, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The correlation between GFR and serum uric acid/creatinine ratio was assessed using Spearman's correlation test. The study participants were mostly male (68%), with a median age of 60.5 (21-79) years, and mostly in the stage G5 (74%). The median value of GFR was 16.85 (2.46-55.66) mL/min/1.73m2 and the median value serum uric acid/creatinine ratio was 2.29 (0.39-7.49) mg/dL. The results of the correlation analysis between the GFR and serum uric acid/creatinine ratio was found r = 0.832 (p = 0.000). This study conclude there was strong and significant positive correlation between GFR and serum uric acid/creatinine ratio.

TUBECTOMY TRENDS IN MATERNITY MOTHERS WITH CESAREAN SECTION AT UDAYANA II HOSPITAL DENPASAR
type: item
description: Tubectomy is one of the permanent contraceptive methods that plays an important role in supporting family planning and reproductive health programs. However, its use is relatively lower than other long-term contraceptive methods. The purpose of this study is to analyze the trend of tubectomy incidence in hospitals. This study uses a quantitative descriptive design with a retrospective approach. Data was taken from the medical records of patients who underwent tubectomy at Udayana II Hospital Denpasar for the 2021–2025 period. The study sample included maternity mothers with cesarean section with inclusion criteria being a tubectomy and complete medical records. The variables analyzed included the number of cases per year, demographic characteristics of patients such as age, education level, occupation, place of residence and length of treatment. Tubectomy data and patient characteristics were measured based on the information stated in the patient's medical record. The analysis was carried out descriptively using the distribution of frequency and annual trends. The incidence of tubectomy in maternity mothers with cesarean section at Udayana II Hospital Denpasar showed a relatively stable trend throughout the study period. The majority of tubectomy procedures are performed on mothers with characteristics of age over 35 years old, have a secondary education, have a job, are Hindu, live in Denpasar City, have non-militery status, and undergo treatment for about three days. These findings make an important contribution to efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of tubectomy services in maternal mothers. Therefore, the results of the study recommend the need to strengthen the quality of services by considering sociodemographic factors, as well as ensuring the availability of access to tubectomy procedures as part of reproductive health services.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PARENTING STYLE AND SOCIAL MEDIA USE INTENSITY WITH THE RISK OF EATING DISORDERS AMONG FEMALE ADOLESCENTS AT SMPN 3 MAKASSAR IN 2026
type: item
description: Background : Eating disorders among female adolescents represent a significant mental health concern influenced by various psychosocial factors, including parenting style and the social media use intensity. Unsupportive parenting and exposure to idealized body standards on social media are believed to contribute to an increased risk of eating disorders. This study aimed to analyze the association between parenting style and social media use intensity with the risk of eating disorders among female adolescents at SMPN 3 Makassar. Methods : This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 265 respondents selected through purposive sampling technique. Parenting style was assessed using the Parental Authority Questionnaire–Short Version (PAQ-SV), social media use intensity was measured using the Social Networking Time Use Scale (SONTUS), and the risk of eating disorders was assessed using the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Results : The bivariate analysis showed significant associations between parenting style and the risk of eating disorders (p = 0.020), as well as between social media use intensity and the risk of eating disorders (p = 0.008). Multivariate analysis showed that permissive parenting (OR = 2.309; 95% CI = 1.021–5.221; p = 0.044) and very high social media use intensity (OR = 6.369; 95% CI = 1.743–23.269; p = 0.005) were the most dominant factors associated with an increased risk of eating disorders. Conclusion : Therefore, family-based preventive approaches are needed, including the promotion of authoritative parenting and education on controlled social media use, to reduce the risk of eating disorders among female adolescents.

THE ASSOCIATION OF ADHERENCE WITH ANTIEPILEPSY DRUG CONSUMPTION ON SEIZURE CONTROL IN EPILEPSY PATIENTS AT THE NEUROLOGY POLYCLINIC OF REGIONAL PUBLIC HOSPITAL SANJIWANI
type: item
description: Epilepsy is the most common neurological disease in the world. Treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is important to achieve optimal quality of life. Non-adherence with medication consumption is known to contribute to increased mortality and morbidity rates in epilepsy patients due to uncontrolled seizures. This study aims to determine the association between drug consumption adherence and seizure control in epilepsy patients at the Neurology Policlinic at Sanjiwani Regional Hospital. This research is a cross-sectional analytical study. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling with a measuring instrument in the form of the MMAS- 8 questionnaire. Statistical tests carried out included univariate analysis, chi-square, and binary logistic regression. The results of the study found that the majority of participants had uncontrolled seizures (57.8%) and high level of medication adherence (50%). In the chi-square analysis, a significant association was obtained between drug consumption adherence and participants’ seizure control. In addition, adherence to medication consumption had a dominant influence compared to other variables in binary logistic regression analysis (p=0,017; AOR=12,83, CI 95% 1,57-104,51). This study concludes there is a significant association between adherence to OAE consumption and seizure control. Patients who have low adherence have a 12,83 times greater chance of experiencing uncontrolled seizures than medium-high adherence. However, this result lacks precision seen from the wide confidence interval value.

type: item
description: Background: Postpartum hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal mortality worldwide, contributing to more than one-fifth of maternal deaths. This study aimed to analyze the association between a history of diabetes mellitus and a history of abortion with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, and to identify the most strongly associated factor at Ananda Mother and Child Hospital of Makassar, during 2022 to 2024. Methods: This study employed a case control design with a 1:1 ratio between case and control groups. A total of 132 patients were selected using purposive sampling. Data were obtained from medical records of patients who delivered at Ananda Mother and Child Hospital from 2022 to 2024. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test for bivariate analysis and logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results: A history of diabetes mellitus was significantly associated with postpartum hemorrhage (p = 0.013; OR = 4.559; 95% CI = 1.424–14.593). Similarly, a history of abortion was also significantly associated with postpartum hemorrhage (p = 0.012; OR = 2.713; 95% CI = 1.303–5.647). Multivariate analysis showed that a history of diabetes mellitus was the most dominant factor associated with postpartum hemorrhage (OR = 5.742; 95% CI = 1.729–19.070; p = 0.004). Conclusion: Pregnant women are advised to undergo regular antenatal care, adopt a healthy lifestyle, and adhere to healthcare providers’ recommendations throughout pregnancy and delivery to reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage.

USE OF ANTICOAGULANTS IN COVID-19 PATIENTS AS A PREVENTIVE EFFORT FOR HEART FAILURE MORTALITY
type: item
description: Background: Thrombosis and hypercoagulable states are complications that can arise in COVID-19 and heart failure patients. This occurs due to a cytokine reaction, leading to the activation and increase of coagulation factors. This condition can lead to complications such as DVT, VTE, and PE, which will increase the severity and mortality of the patient's disease. Anticoagulants are one of the effective therapies to prevent and treat various types of thromboembolic diseases. Heparin and enoxaparin are commonly used anticoagulants in hospitals. Objective: This study aimed to determine whether the use of anticoagulants was associated with the mortality rate in COVID-19 patients diagnosed with heart failure. Methods: This study was conducted using a cross-sectional analytic design. The sample consisted of 71 patients, including 51 who used enoxaparin, 15 who used heparin, and 5 who used a combination of both. After the data was obtained, it was then processed and presented in tabular form. Results: While initial findings suggested that enoxaparin use was associated with lower mortality rates compared to heparin or a combination of both, subsequent analysis revealed no statistically significant difference in mortality rates among patients receiving enoxaparin, heparin, or a combination (p-value = 0,191). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in mortality rates between patients given enoxaparin, heparin, or a combination.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPLIANCE OF IRON-FOLIC ACID SUPPLEMENT TABLET CONSUMPTION WITH ANEMIA STATUS AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN AT KINTAMANI VI PRIMARY HEALTH CARE CENTER
type: item
description: Background: Anemia in pregnancy remains a common health problem that contributes to increased maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Preventive efforts have been implemented through the supplementation program of iron–folic acid tablets (Tablet Tambah Darah or TTD) recommended throughout pregnancy; however, its effectiveness depends greatly on compliance. Objective: To determine the association between compliance to iron-folic acid tablets consumption and anemia status among pregnant women in the working area of Puskesmas Kintamani VI. Methods: This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design involving 75 third-trimester pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and sampled using consecutive sampling. Compliance data were collected through interviews using a simplified Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) questionnaire. Hemoglobin levels were obtained using a POCT (Point of Care Testing) device and medical records. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Results: The results showed that 52% of respondents were classified as non-compliant. The proportion of pregnant women with anemia was 33.3% in the non-compliant group and 11.1% in compliant group. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between TTD compliance and anemia status (p-value=0.022; PR=0.33; 95% CI: 0.12–0.93). Other variables, including maternal age, education level, nutritional status, parity, micronutrient intake, sleep quality, hyperemesis gravidarum, income, occupation, and other medical factors, showed no significant association (p-value>0.05). Summary: Compliance to iron-folic acid tablets consumption serves as a protective factor against anemia. It is recommended that healthcare providers strengthen education, follow-up, and support strategies to improve adherence and help reduce anemia prevalence in pregnancy.

The Correlation between Bilirubin Levels and Birth Weight in Neonates with Neonatal Jaundice
type: item
description: Neonatal jaundice is a clinical condition caused by elevated bilirubin levels. Birth weight is often associated with the risk of neonatal jaundice due to liver function immaturity in low birth weight infants. However, research findings regarding the relationship between these two variables remain varied. This study aims to determine the relationship between total serum bilirubin levels and birth weight in neonates with neonatal jaundice at Ngoerah Hospital. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach using medical record data of patients who met the inclusion criteria at Ngoerah Hospital. Descriptive analysis results showed that the mean birth weight of the sample was 2,859.38 grams and the mean total bilirubin level was 17.77 mg/dL. The Spearman bivariate test results showed no significant relationship between birth weight and total bilirubin levels (p=0.222; r=0.198). Multivariate analysis also confirmed that birth weight was not a significant predictor (p=0.318) after controlling for gestational age and gender variables. There is no significant relationship between birth weight and total bilirubin levels in neonates with neonatal jaundice at Ngoerah Hospital. This result is likely influenced by the dominance of term infants in the sample and the presence of other, more dominant pathological factors.

CHARACTERISTICS OF DRY EYE SYNDROME AMONG TOURISTS ENGAGING IN WATER SPORTS AT BEACH TOURISM DESTINATIONS
type: item
description: Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) is a common ocular disorder that can be triggered by various factors, including sociodemographic characteristics, extreme environmental conditions, and exposure to seawater during water sports activities. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of DES among tourists engaging in water sports at beach tourism destinations based on sex, age, location, duration and type of activity, ultraviolet (UV) index, environmental temperature, and use of eye protection. This study employed a prospective observational descriptive analytic design and involved 65 tourists. Data were collected using an initial research questionnaire and the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). The results showed that most respondents were classified as normal (76.9%), followed by mild (20%) and moderate (3.1%) DES, with no severe cases identified. Females demonstrated a higher proportion of DES compared to males, and respondents aged ≥30 years showed a greater tendency toward DES than those aged <30 years. Longer activity duration (≥60 minutes), participation at watersport facilities, primary water sports, UV index ≥5, higher environmental temperature, and absence of eye protection were associated with an increased risk of DES, although these associations were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the incidence of DES increased proportionally with the accumulation of risk factors, with a statistically significant association between the number of concurrent risk factors and DES occurrence (p = 0.011), highlighting the multifactorial nature of DES.

type: item
description: Emotional intelligence combines aspects of interpersonal interaction that can improve individual performance and awareness for successful academic development. This quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional approach aimed to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement among medical students at Udayana University. The sample included 171 students from the 2022 cohort selected via total sampling. Emotional intelligence was measured using the SSEIT questionnaire covering emotion regulation, appraisal, utilization, and social skills, while academic achievement was determined by the 5th-semester GPA. Data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Spearman's correlation. The results indicated an average emotional intelligence score of 116.55 ± 14.13, with 79.5% of respondents falling into the “With Honors” GPA category. Spearman's correlation showed no significant relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement (rs = 0.128, p = 0.094). Furthermore, no significant relationships were found in the specific sub-domains of emotion regulation, assessment, utilization, or social skills. In conclusion, there is no significant relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement in this group. Therefore, further research involving medical students from various batches is recommended to obtain a more comprehensive picture.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND THE OCCURRENCE OF PRIMARY DYSMENORRHEA AMONG UNDERGRADUATE MEDICAL STUDENTS AT UDAYANA UNIVERSITY
type: item
description: Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain in the lower abdomen originating from the uterus without accompanying complications or organic abnormalities. Primary dysmenorrhea most commonly occurred in late adolescence, particularly among women aged 18–24 years, which corresponds to the typical age of university students. Primary dysmenorrhea was influenced by several factors, one of which was nutritional status. Aiming to evaluate the link between nutritional status and primary dysmenorrhea, this research focused on female students within the Undergraduate Medical Program at Udayana University. Focusing on female medical students at Udayana University, this cross-sectional study analyzed the link between nutritional status and primary dysmenorrhea. Data were gathered through non-probability accidental sampling to determine the association between the independent variable (nutritional status) and the dependent variable (primary dysmenorrhea severity). The study involved 111 respondents, with a prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea of 92,8% and proportion of severe primary dysmenorrhea of 25%. Severe primary dysmenorrhea was more frequently experienced by respondents with overweight nutritional status compared to those with underweight and normal nutritional status (p=0,058). In addition, severe primary dysmenorrhea was more common among respondents with high stress levels (p=0,456). Therefore, it was concluded that there was no significant relationship between nutritional status or stress level and the severity of primary dysmenorrhea among undergraduate medical students at Udayana University.

PREVALENCE AND RISK FACTORS FOR SLEEP QUALITY DISORDERS IN PENCAK SILAT ATHLETES BULELENG REGENCY
type: item
description: The quality of sleep-in athletes contributes to athletic performance, injury risk, recovery time, cardiovascular endurance and anaerobic strength. Pencak silat athletes also have a risk of having poor sleep quality, in connection with the intensity of training and academic stress in athletes who are students. However, specific data on the prevalence and risk factors for sleep quality disorders in athletes are still limited. This study is aimed at determining the quality of sleep and factors related to pencak silat athletes. A cross-sectional study conducted on pencak silat athletes in Buleleng Regency in June-August 2025. A total of 32 pencak silat athletes participated in this research, who were selected using the total sampling method. The criteria for sample inclusion set include being willing to be the subject of the research, and signing the informed consent, being present at the data collection, being able to fill out the questionnaire completely and participating in the data collection until the end. The exclusion criteria in this study are athletes in poor physical and mental health, who are diagnosed by a doctor, and have moved their domicile outside Buleleng. Sleep quality data were collected by the interview method using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. As many as 59.4% of pencak silat athletes have good sleep quality. Early wake-up time, the use of sleep medications, the presence of sleep disorders and sleep efficiency are factors related to the quality of athletes' sleep (p <0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the sleep quality of pencak silat athletes is quite good. So, it is recommended to increase adequate sleep time supervision between 8-10 hours per day, avoid the use of sleeping pills and overcome sleep disorders in athletes to maintain athlete performance.

type: item
description: Background: Adolescent obesity has become an increasing public health challenge, with long-term impacts on quality of life and an elevated risk of degenerative diseases. The urgency to address this condition continues to grow due to its rising prevalence and the potential for adverse health outcomes in adulthood. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of obesity and analyze factors associated with obesity among students at SMA Negeri 1 Penebel, Tabanan. Methods: This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach involving 140 respondents. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements and self-administered questionnaires assessing genetic factors, sex, physical activity level, and sleep duration. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test, Fisher’s Exact Test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of obesity among students at SMA Negeri 1 Penebel, Tabanan was 37.1%. Bivariate analysis demonstrated significant associations between genetic factors (p = 0.006) and sleep duration (p = 0.013) with obesity. In contrast, sex (p = 0.073) and physical activity level (p = 0.824) were not significantly associated with obesity status. Multivariate analysis indicated that genetic factors were the strongest independent predictor of obesity among students (p = 0.031). Conclusion: Genetic factors and sleep duration were significantly associated with obesity, with genetic factors identified as the most dominant predictor. The high prevalence of obesity underscores the importance of preventive health interventions focusing on modifiable risk factors, particularly among students with a genetic predisposition.

description: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a growing global health concern and is marked by progressive liver injury, which partly mediated by oxidative stress. Purple cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) contains high levels of anthocyanins, bioactive compounds recognized for their potential protective effects on the liver. This study aimed to assess the effect of purple cabbage extract serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) levels in male Wistar rats exposed to a high-fat diet and carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄). Methods: This experimental investigation utilized 24 male Wistar rats that were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 6). The negative control group (P0) received a high-fat diet in combination with CCl₄ induction. The intervention groups were administered purple cabbage extract at dose of 100 mg/kg BW (P1), 200 mg/kg BW (P2), and 400 mg/kg BW (P3) for six consecutive weeks alongside the same induction protocol. SGPT levels were analyzed at the completion of the treatment period. Results: The negative control group (P0) exhibited the highest mean SGPT concentration (74.52 ± 11.451 U/L). Administration of purple cabbage extract resulted in a dose-related decline in SGPT levels, with mean values of 57.90 U/L (P1), 47.78 U/L (P2), and 38.56 U/L (P3). Statistically significant reductions were observed in the P2 (p = 0.006) and P3 (p = 0.002) groups, whereas the decrease in P1 did not reach significance (p = 0.055). Conclusion: Purple cabbage extract exerted a dose-dependent hepatoprotective effect, as demonstrated by reductions in SGPT concentrations in Wistar rats with liver injury induced by a high-fat diet and CCl₄ exposure.

LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN (LDL) LEVELS, AGE, AND SEX AS RISK FACTORS FOR CORONARY HEART DISEASE INCIDENTS AT NGOERAH HOSPITAL
type: item
description: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the foremost cause of mortality in Indonesia and is closely related to atherosclerosis due to increased levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL). The risk of CHD increases with age and is generally higher in male than in female, especially before menopause. Therefore, this study sought to assess the role of LDL, age, and sex as risk factors for CHD at Ngoerah Hospital. A case-control study of 34 case and 34 control patients (2022–2024) was conducted using consecutive sampling from medical records. To identify risk factors for CHD, bivariate analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test, followed by multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression. Among the 68 patients analyzed, the majority (41 patients, 60.3%) had high LDL levels. The sample characteristics were predominantly male (44 patients, 64.7%) and of older age (42 patients, 61.8%). Multivariate analysis revealed that patients with high LDL levels showed a 7.4-fold greater likelihood of developing CHD relative to those with low LDL levels (AOR = 7.4; CI 95% : 2.22–24.75; p = 0.001). Male patients was also significantly associated with CHD, with approximately 5.78 times higher odds compared to females (AOR = 5.78; CI 95% : 1.67–19.97; p = 0.006). Age did not show a significant relationship with CHD (p = 0.65).
