Demam merupakan salah satu sebab yang sering membuat orang tua segera membawa anaknya berobat. Panas atau demam kondisi dimana otak mematok suhu di atas setting normal yaitu di atas 38oC. Namun demikian, panas yang sesungguhnya adalah bila suhu>38.5oC. Salah satu tindakan nonfarmakologi yang dapat dilakukan untuk penurunan panas adalah dengan kompres. Kompres adalah salah satu metode fisik untuk menurunkan suhu tubuh anak yang mengalami demam. Tujuan penelitian in adalah untuk mempelajari efektifitas pemberian kompres hangat terhadap suhu tubuh pada anak dengan peningkatan suhu tubuh di ruang edelweis RSUD Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu.Desain yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Quasi Eksperimental menggunakan The One Group Pretest Postest Design. Populasi dalam penelitian adalah seluruh pasien anak yang mengalami peningkatan suhu tubuh di Ruang Edelweis RSUD Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu pada bulan Mei 2018. Pengambilan sampel dalam penelitan ini menggunakan teknik accidental sampling sebanyak 19 responden Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan data primer dan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian didapatkan : kecenderungan penurunan suhu tubuh setelah dilakukan kompres hangat pada anak dengan peningkatan suhu tubuh di ruang Edelweis RSUD Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu dengan rata-rata penurunan (0,75260C) . Diharapkan perawat anak dapat mengimplementasikan intervensi kompres hangat pada peningkatan suhu tubuh yang di rawat di rumah sakit atau yang di rawat di rumah.
Latar belakang: Zinc merupakan salah satu mikronutrien penting yang dibutuhkan oleh tubuh. Rendahnya zinc dalam tubuh akan menghambat efek metabolit hormon pertumbuhan atau GH, sehingga sintesis dan sekresi Insulin Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) berkurang dan berdampak terhadap reterdasi pertumbuhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kadar zinc serum dan kadar IGF-1 serum pada anak Sekolah Dasar di Kecamatan Tuah Negeri Kabupaten Musi Rawas. Metode: Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional, dengan sampel anak Sekolah Dasar usia 7-13 tahun. Sampel berjumlah 79 orang yang diambil secara random. Dilakukan pengukuran status gizi berdasarkan TB/U dan pengambilan darah untuk pengukuran kadar Zn dan IGF-1 serum. Adapun data karakteristik sampel diperoleh melalui kuesioner, sedangkan pengukuran kadar Zn dan IGF-1 serum dilakukan dengan metode ELISA. Selanjutnya data dianalisis menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil: berdasarkan pengukuran status gizi didapatkan 19 (24%) anak mengalami stunting dan 60 (76%) anak memiliki status gizi normal. Pada anak stunting 89.5% mempunyai kadar Zn yang rendah dan 78.9% mempunyai kadar IGF-1 yang rendah. Hasil analisis bivariat didapatkan p=0.017 dan PR=5.667 untuk hubungan antara status gizi dan kadar Zn serum; p=0.000 dan PR=8.983 untuk hubungan antara kadar Zn serum dengan kadar IGF-1 serum. terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara status gizi dengan kadar Zn serum dan kadar Zn serum dengan IGF-1 serum. Kesimpulan: Anak yang mengalami stunting beresiko 5.667 kali mempunyai kadar Zn yang rendah dan anak dengan kadar Zn serum yang rendah beresiko 8.983 kali mempunyai kadar IGF-1 serum yang rendah juga. Zn dan IGF-1 diperlukan dalam proses pertumbuhan anak. Perlunya edukasi kesehatan tentang pentingnya asupan zinc pada orang tua, agar kebutuhan Zn pada anak dapat terpenuhi.
BACKGROUND: Children in rural areas are susceptible to zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency in children can affect cognitive function in children. Zinc plays a role in cellular function and critical brain growth processes, including cell replication, DNA and RNA synthesis, and the release of neurotransmitters. AIM: This study aimed to analyze the condition of zinc deficiency and its relationship with the level of intelligence in children in rural areas. METHODS: The study design was cross-sectional, with a sample of 44 elementary school children aged 9–12 years taken randomly. Blood was drawn to measure serum Zn-levels, and serum Zn-levels were measured using Colorimetric Assay Kit (E-BC-K137). Zinc intake data were obtained from the food recall form, which was carried out 3 × 24 h. The level of intelligence is measured by the Culture Fair Intelligence Test method. The sample characteristics data obtained through a questionnaire. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. RESULTS: About 84.2% of children with insufficient zinc intake had low serum Zn-levels. There was a significant relationship between zinc intake and serum zinc levels (p = 0.026; PR = 4.293). Children with low serum zinc levels of 96.5% have intelligence levels below average. There was a significant relationship between serum zinc levels and intelligence level as well (p = 0.001; PR = 24,500). CONCLUSION: Zinc deficiency in children is characterized by low serum Zn-levels. Low serum Zn-level is caused by low zinc intake, thus children with low serum Zn-levels are at risk of having intelligence level below average. Therefore, health education about the importance of zinc intake in children should be given to parents, so that the incidence of zinc deficiency in children can be reduced.
Competency testing is carried out as a form of maintaining the quality of graduates who have competencies in accordance with nationally established standards. The exit exam can simply be interpreted as a graduation exam, meaning that if a student is unable to meet the pass mark from the exam, he or she is declared not to have passed the nursing education. The purpose of this study was to see the relationship between institutional readiness and passing the exit exam of D3 nursing students. This study uses an analytical survey with a cross sectional study approach. Collecting data using a questionnaire in the form of google form. Sampling was done by simple random sampling with a total of 110 people. The results showed that there was no relationship between institutional readiness and graduation of D3 Nursing students in facing the exit exam with a fisher ecxact value = 0.589 > 005. It is hoped that there will be synergy between institutions, lecturers and students in preparation for the UKOM exit exam by discussing more standardized questions. ukom, attend tutoring and take part in internal and external try outs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
