Background:In order to minimize the possibility of unsuccessful dental extraction procedure due to dental anxiety, there are several approaches that can be used, including music intervention.Objective:The objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of classical and religious Islamic music on reducing dental anxiety.Materials and methods:Two hundred and twenty-five muslim participants (105 males, 120 females) were recruited for this study and randomly assigned to three groups: classical music group, religious Islamic music group, and the group with no music intervention, equally in numbers. Participant’s blood pressure (BP) and blood sample were taken prior to and after dental extraction to evaluate systolic and diastolic BP as well as nor-adrenaline plasma (NAP) level. All data were then analyzed by using t-test, ANOVA test, Mann-Whitney and Kruskawallis test.Results:There was a decrease in NAP level in the religious music group (0.110 ng/mL) and the control group (0.013 ng/mL) when initial NAP level was compared to post extraction NAP level, whilst the classical music group showed an increase of 0.053 ng/mL. There were significant differences found between the religious Islamic music group and the classical music group (p = 0.041) as well as the control group (p = 0.028) for the difference between pre and post NAP level, of which the NAP level of the religious Islamic group participants were lower.Conclusion:Religious Islamic music was proven to be effective in reducing dental anxiety in Muslim participants compared to classical music. Despite, further evaluation in a more heterogenous population with various religious and cultural background is needed.
AbstrakPenempelan jaringan dan penyembuhan luka pada cangkok konjungtiva lebih cepat pada teknik lem fibrin otologus (LFO) dibandingkan dengan teknik jahitan. Kedua proses tersebut memerlukan interaksi fibronektin (FN) dan integrin α 5 yang mengaktivasi alur persinyalan intraselular. Tujuan penelitian untuk menentukan kekuatan ekspresi gen FN serta integrin α 5 pada kelompok teknik LFO dan jahitan. Uji eksperimental hewan pada kelinci New Zealand White yang terbagi kelompok teknik LFO dan jahitan masing-masing 8 kelinci bertempat di Laboratorium Sentral (Biologi Molekuler) FK Unpad Bandung, periode Mei-Oktober 2008. Sampel jaringan untuk pemeriksaan reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) diambil dari eksterpasi satu hari sesudah jaringan cangkok konjungtiva bulbi. Analisis data untuk uji hipotesis dengan Mann Whitney for small sample. Ekspresi gen messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) FN secara bermakna lebih kuat pada teknik LFO dibandingkan dengan teknik jahitan (1,9 vs 1,0; p=0,014). Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna ekspresi gen (mRNA) integrin α 5 antara teknik LFO dan teknik jahitan (1,2 vs 1,0; p=0,235). Sebagai simpulan ekspresi gen FN lebih kuat pada teknik LFO dibandingkan dengan jahitan, sedangkan ekspresi gen integrin α 5 pada teknik LFO lebih kuat dibandingkan dengan teknik jahitan namun secara statistik tidak bermakna satu hari pascabedah.

Keputihan merupakan salah satu keluhan yang paling umum terjadi pada wanita usia reproduksi dan terjadi 80% pada usia 15-45 tahun. Salah satu tanaman herbal untuk mengatasi keputihan adalah biji manjakani (Quercus infectoria Gall) dan daun sirih merah (Piper crocatum). Biji manjakani dan daun sirih merah memiliki kandungan flavonoid, tanin, saponin, triterpenoid dan kuinon yang diyakini sebagai antibakteri dan antijamur. Penelitian ini merupakan studi Kuasi Eksperimen dengan non equivalent (pretest dan posttest) control group design, dengan sampel berjumlah 28 responden. Hasil penelitian perbedaan penurunan jumlah koloni Candida albicans antara pemberian cebokan rebusan biji manjakani dan sirih merah secara statistik tidak bermakna dengan nilai p=0,062 (p>0,05), dan perbedaan penurunan keluhan keputihan antara pemberian cebokan rebusan biji manjakani dan sirih merah secara statistik bermakna dengan nilai p=0,001 (p<0,05). Simpulan penelitian ini adalah tidak terdapat perbedaan penurunan jumlah koloni Candida albicans antara pemberian cebokan rebusan biji manjakani dan daun sirih merah pada wanita usia subur (wus) yang mengalami keluhan keputihan.
Intra Uterine Device (IUD) is a safe, effective, and reversible device made of plastic or metal which is inserted into the uterus through the cervical canal to prevent pregnancy. One of side effects of IUD is leucorrhoea or fluoralbus that is a whitish, intermittent and increased amount of discharge from vagina. Leucorrhoea is the most common complaint of women using IUD as it may cause uterus reactions to a strange object with excessive vaginal discharge characterized by increased amount of vaginal mucus, yellowish or gray, itchy, smelly, and causing inconvenience. A Moist condition and discharge in vagina among IUD acceptors is a good environment for pathogenic bacteria growth including Streptococcus sp and Escherichia coli. One of alternative treatments from herbal remedies is manjakani seeds (Quercus infectoria gall). Empirically, manjakani seeds have been used to clean genital organs for prevention and treatment of vaginal discharge. The active subtances of the seeds are tannin, saponin, alkaloid, steroid, flavonoid, and trapezoid that are believed as an antibacterial effect. This study aimed to determine the effect of douching treatments using manjakani seeds (Quercus infectoria gall) boiled into water to the total colony of Streptococcus sp and Escherichia coli among IUD acceptors who experienced vaginal discharge. The research methods of the study utilized quasi experiments with one group pretestpostest design. The sampling technique was consecutive sampling with IUD acceptors suffering vaginal discharge in puskesmasSukajadi and ledeng, Bandung as the samples. The results showed based on statistical test, there was a significant difference between the number of colonies of Escherichia coli, streptococcus sp and complaints of leucorrea pre-test and posttest test of douching of boiled manjakani seeds with p value 0.05.
Institusi pendidikan bidan bertujuan mencetak lulusan bidan yang memiliki kemampuan baik secara akademik maupun non akademik dan siap kerja. Berbagai upaya yang dilakukan untuk meningkatkan soft skill mahasiswa hingga saat ini belum memuaskan. Salah satu cara meningkatkan kualitas soft skill mahasiswa yaitu dengan pelatihan manajemen diri. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis perbedaan kualitas soft skill dari aspek komunikasi, kepemimpinan, dan etika mahasiswa sebelum dan sesudah diberikan pelatihan manajemen diri. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental dengan desain one group pre-test and post-test design. Populasi penelitian mahasiswa Program Studi DIII Kebidanan yang teridentifikasi nilai soft skill rendah berjumlah 47 orang. Teknik pengambilan sampel dengan total sampling. Pengukuran soft skill menggunakan kuesioner. Hasil analisis penelitian kualitas soft skill mahasiswa sebelum dan sesudah diberikan pelatihan menunjukkan perbedaan bermakna (p<0,001). Hasil analisis paired t-test untuk aspek komunikasi diperoleh nilai p<0,001 dan uji Wilcoxon untuk aspek kepemimpinan dan etika diperoleh nilai p<0,001. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah soft skill aspek kepemimpinan mengalami peningkatan skor yang lebih tinggi sebesar 36,4%, soft skill aspek etika mendapat peningkatan skor 27,2%, sedangkan soft skill aspek komunikasi hanya meningkat 21,0%
