Background: A preliminary epidemiological study of three kindergartens in Embong Kaliasin Village under KetabangPublic Health Center, Surabaya coverage revealed that 63% of the kindergarteners have dental caries. The study alsofound that only 8% of them received dental treatment. The remaining 92% of kindergarteners never had dental treatmentbecause uncovered health insurance, unavailability of parents during working days and hours, mother’s education level,mother’s medical history, paternal support in dental and oral health care. Promotive, preventive, and referral efforts canbe achieved by empowering health cadres. The empowerment program addressed maternal reluctance in participating“KESGILUT” program by providing the “AWAS” educational book. Purpose: We expect that the program could increasemothers’ knowledge levels on dental and oral health as well as encourage them to participate in child dental and oralhealth care. Methods: The health education method was parental mentoring with a group approach. The parents ofManguni kindergarteners receiving the “AWAS” educational book as a group. The media of the program was the “AWAS”educational book. It covered information about dental and oral health, including primary and secondary dentition, stagesof dental caries, correct tooth brushing, nutritious food for teeth, and preventing dental caries. The evaluation method ofthis program is using pre-post test analysis. Results: There is an increasement in post test score (68%) to post-test score(83%). Conclusion: This program is effective to increase mother’s knowledge about dental and oral health.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a lot of people, including Indonesian citizens to face various changes, adapt to the current situation, and implement new lifestyle habits. Measures have been taken to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission, such as implementing the health protocols which include washing hands, wearing masks, social distancing, avoiding crowds, and minimizing mobility. Furthermore, maintaining and increasing the body's immune system is crucial as an effort to prevent COVID-19 infection. One of the ways to increase the body's immune system is through a balanced diet and consuming nutritious food. Therefore, this research was conducted to analyze the community's comprehension about nutrition during the pandemic. This research was a descriptive analytic study. The data was collected twice, prior to-and following the intervention, using google form which contained several questions regarding nutritional knowledge. The number of participants which fulfilled the inclusion criteria includes 53 people aged 18-35 years old. There was a significant difference between the average knowledge related to the results of community knowledge before (46.25) and after (56.47) providing education (p= 0.001) where there was an increase of 22.1%. Education given through online webinar SEROTONIN 2021, improved the community's knowledge about nutritional health during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in productive age.
This study aims to find the optimal timing for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction by comparing the outcome of early versus delayed ACL reconstruction, meniscus, and chondral damage. A systematic literature search was performed from February to March 2021 from 4 databases. Inclusion criteria were English language Randomized Control Trial (RCT) and observational studies published in 2000-2020, 20-50 years old patients with an isolated ACL tear with/without meniscal injury underwent ACL reconstruction. Early ACL reconstruction was estimated at less than six weeks post-injury, and delayed ACL reconstruction was estimated at more than six weeks. Tegner and Lysholm were the functional outcomes to compare early and delayed ACL reconstruction with a meniscus tear and chondral damage. The search yielded 3094 studies. After removing duplicates, titles and abstracts were screened, leaving 154 potential studies. The studies were selected, and eight studies were eligible. No statistically significant difference between early and delayed ACL reconstruction in Lysholm and Tegner score (p>0,05) was found. Both scores were similar regarding whether the patient performs early/delayed ACL reconstruction. Therefore, early ACL reconstruction could be an optimal timing for the patient who will undergo ACL reconstruction.
