Journal ID : AMJ-12-01-2023-11042; Author : Adriadi Yanuar Saifurizal, Nyilo Purnami,
Abstract : Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a hearing loss that develops gradually due to prolonged exposure to excessive intensity noise and usually comes from the work environment. This study was a retrospective descriptive study using medical record data at Neurotology Clinic, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, from January 2016 to December 2020. Male patients with NIHL were more than female patients. The ratio of male to female patients was 1.92 :1. Most NIHL patients were in 41-50 years age group, as many as 12 patients (31.58%). NIHL patients as many as 18 patients (47.37%) had a chief complaint of tinnitus, while 20 patients (52.63%) had complaints of hearing loss. Most of the patients' occupations were traders of 8 patients (21.05%). The length of work of NIHL patients showed that those who worked for less than 10 years were 12 patients (31.58%). The mean notch frequency typical of NIHL patients was found in 15 patients (39.47%) with a frequency of 4000 Hz, and 23 patients (60.53%) with a frequency of 6000 Hz, with a decrease in intensity of 59.50 dB and 65.54 dB. The chief complaint was tinnitus, which was more common than hearing loss. Most of the patients' occupations was traders, with the majority of patients had been working more than 10 years. Most hearing loss was mild with a characteristic notch frequency occurring more at 6000 Hz than 4000 Hz.

The Effect of Marriage with Lower Castes (Nyerod) In Traditional Balinese Wedding on The Psychology of Balinese Hindu Women: Case Report
Journal ID : AMJ-12-01-2023-11041; Author : Anak Agung Ngurah Andika Damarnegara, Cokorda Bagus Jaya Lesmana, Ni Ketut Putri Ariani, I Gusti Ayu Indah Ardani,
Abstract : Marriage in Bali, which is predominantly Hindu, still adheres to the caste (wangsa) system. So that the marriage that can be called ideal by the Balinese people is a marriage with the same caste, and if a different caste marriage is still a polemic in Balinese society. Different caste marriages in Bali cause adjustment to the new environment in the husband's family. This case aims to show that there is a relationship between different caste marriages (nyerod) that occur in Balinese women and her psychological status. A 30 years old Balinese woman came with psychological problems after she was married with different caste. Based on in-depth psychiatric interviews, psychological and psychometric examinations, as well as dynamic psychotherapy approaches, it was found that she wanted to end her marriage but she was confused because she had married with a lower caste husband (nyerod) and felt that her family was not willing to accept herself back if she divorced. The need for premarital counselling is certainly crucial to explain to couples who are about to get married, especially those of different castes to know the consequences and adjustments that must be made if they are going to have a different caste marriage to prevent psychological disorder.

Journal ID : AMJ-11-01-2023-11039; Author : Mitha Rahmilah, Syamsiar S Russeng, Lalu Muhammad Saleh, Masyita Muis, M. Furqaan Naiem, Hasnawati Amqam,
Abstract : Nursing services require an increase in the quality of health services and professionalism through work productivity. The phenomenon found is many nurses experience work fatigue because of several factors, such as inappropriate nutritional intake as well as lack of rest, which leads to the incidence of anemia. The impact of nutritional problems can cause decrease of work productivity, such as work fatigue and work capacity. This study aims to analyze the direct and indirect effects of nutritional status and hemoglobin levels on work productivity, through work fatigue as an intervening variable in nurses in hospitals. The research method used a cross-sectional study design. The research began in October 2022 at Regional General Hospital, Parepare. The samples used was 110 nurses using the accidental sampling technique. Nutritional status was obtained by examining the nurses' BMI through their height and weight, Hb levels were measured using HB Nesco Hemoglobin type NW-01, work fatigue was measured with the Reaction Speed application, and work productivity was measured by filling out a questionnaire. The results of multivariate tests with path analysis showed that there was a direct effect of nutritional status on work productivity (p<0.005), there was a direct effect of Hb levels on work productivity (p<0.005) and there was an effect of work fatigue on work productivity (p<0.005). The result showed that there was a direct and indirect effect of nutritional status and hemoglobin levels on work productivity through fatigue as an intervening variable. Future research is expected to examine other factors that can affect work productivity besides nutritional status and hemoglobin levels.

Journal ID : AMJ-11-01-2023-11038; Author : Muqiemuddin Salim, Andi Cahyadi, Taufiq Hidayat, Mahrus A Rahman, Mia Ratwita Andarsini, I Ketut Alit Utamayasa, Maria Christina Shanty, Henry Wicaksono, I Dewa Gede Ugrasena, Teddy Ontoseno, Diah Kusuma Arumsari,
Abstract : Platelet indices correlated with cardiovascular risk factors and mortality in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Cyanotic CHD usually had a low platelet count with a high level of other platelet indices. This study evaluated the difference in platelet indices between cyanotic and acyanotic CHD undergoing cardiac catheterization. A retrospective study evaluated children with CHD, age 1 month until 18 years, hospitalized at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya. Children were classified into acyanotic and cyanotic CHD based on echocardiography result and cyanotic signs. They undergo diagnostic or therapeutic catheterization procedures from January 2020 to December 2021. Platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet crit (P-PCT), platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), and platelet distribution width (PDW) were markers of platelet indices, examined by Hematology Analyzer SYSMEX XN 1000 from peripheral blood sampling. We used the independent sample t test to differentiate the mean of platelet indices between acyanotic and cyanotic CHD with a significance level of p<0.05 (two-tail test). There were 208 from 258 children had complete data. About 61(29.3%) were cyanotic CHD, and 147(70.7%) were acyanotic CHD. Boys in cyanotic CHD was more prevalent than in acyanotic CHD (65.6% vs 39.5; p=0.001). Diagnostic catheterization was performed in 94(45.2) % of children, and therapeutic catheterization was in 114 (54.8%) children. Platelet count was similar between cyanotic and acyanotic CHD (p=0.434). Thrombocytosis with a platelet count above 450.000/mm3 occurred in 16.4% cyanotic CHD and 8.8% acyanotic CHD. The P-PCT had no significant differences between cyanotic and acyanotic CHD. The mean PDW, MPV and P-LCR in acyanotic CHD were lower than in cyanotic CHD; 9.5(SD=1.57) fL and 10.9(SD=2.41) fL with p<0.001; 9.3(SD=0.79) and 9.8(SD=1.4) fL with p=0.007; 19.1(SD=6.11) and 23.0(SD=8.52) with p=0.002; respectively. Platelet indices in cyanotic CHD were higher in cyanotic CHD than acyanotic CHD, especially for PDW, MPV and P-LCR.

Journal ID : AMJ-10-01-2023-11035; Author : Ahmad Seri Al-Aloul, Ossama Aljabban, Mohammad Younis Hajeer, MHD Bahaa Aldin Alhaffar, Yasser Alayed Tolibah,
Abstract : Separated Instruments have become a common problem nowadays during root canal treatment. Some previous studies have shown that olive oil has special properties to be used as a lubricant agent. No study has evaluated the effect of olive oil as a lubricant agent compared to EDTA in the removal of the separated instrument using ultrasonic tips. (2) Referred patients to the Department of Endodontics with the complication of separated instruments in the root canals of their lower first molars were screened. Two groups of patients (n=60) with separated instruments were included with equal numbers of straight and curved roots. Each group was exposed to the EDTA 17% or the olive oil during the application of ultrasonic tips according to the 'Terushi' technique with a 1:1 allocation ratio. The failure rate and the time required for removal of the separated instruments was calculated. Chi-square and student t tests were used to detect differences. In the curved canals groups, there were no significant differences between the EDTA and the olive oil in terms of the failure rate (13.4% and 7%, respectively; P≈1.000) and the mean removal time (2.50 and 2.22, respectively; P=0.665). In the straight canals groups, there were significant differences between the EDTA and the olive oil in terms of the failure rate (0% and 33.4%, respectively; P=0.028) and the mean operating time (1.40 and 2.10, respectively; P=0.042). The olive oil can be used as a lubricant agent in the removal of the separated instrument in the curved canals with a high success rate and an appropriate operating time. However, the EDTA performed better in the straight canals with higher success rate and shorter operating time compared to the olive oil.

Journal ID : AMJ-09-01-2023-11030; Author : Hartantyo Kusuma, Ahmad Suryawan, Mira Irmawati, Yunias Setiawati,
Abstract : Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by two groups of symptoms: inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. This disorder can continue into adolescence and is at risk for behavior disorders, substance abuse, and the risk of juvenile delinquency or offending. A perinatally factor that is often associated with ADHD is birth weight. Analyzing the relationship between birth weight and the risk of ADHD in children >36 months as assessed by the Abbreviated Conners Rating Scale (ACRS) instrument. The sample consisted of 30 children who met the inclusion criteria. Interviews are conducted by using the ACRS instrument with the parents or closest caregivers of the child and asking about the child's birth weight. This research was approved by the Ethics Committee of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia. The mean age of children at risk for ADHD was 4.85±1.47 years. More men were diagnosed than women, but no statistical significance with p = 0.317 (significant if p<0.05). Bivariate analysis using Pearson's correlation found a significant negative relationship (r = -0.405; p = 0.026) between birth weight and the risk of ADHD. There was a negative correlation between birth weight and the risk of ADHD.

Journal ID : AMJ-09-01-2023-11029; Author : Firman Lipat Aman, Shanti Riskiyani, Muhammad Syafar,
Abstract : Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five due to chronic malnutrition, especially in the first 1000 days of life. The handling of stunting in East Flores Regency through the innovation "Gerbak Cinta" has reduced the prevalence of stunting from 31.07%, (2019), to 20.9% (2021). Even though the stunting prevalence has experienced a decreasing trend, the Gerobak Cinta innovation prioritizes efforts to handle PMT cases which is focused on utilizing local food. Therefore, prevention efforts are needed to accelerate the reduction of stunting. Improving the nutritional status of pregnant women is one of the strategies to prevent stunting in newborns. Human Development Cadres (KPM) are part of the acceleration team reduce stunting at the village level, one of whose tasks is to collect data on the target of 100 HPK. Through this study, the role of KPM will be enhanced by providing comprehensive assistance and nutrition education to pregnant women. To find out the effect of stunting prevention in pregnant women through the assistance of Human Development Cadres in the working area of the Lato Primary Health Care, Titehena District, East Flores Regency. This study used a one group times series research design with pre-test and post-test designs. The population in this study were pregnant women in the first and second trimesters. The sample was taken using a total sampling technique, meaning that all populations were sampled, namely 38 pregnant women in the first and second trimesters. This study shows that there is an assistance influence by KPM on the knowledge, attitudes, and actions of pregnant women in preventing stunting with a p-value of knowledge (p=0.000), attitude (p=0.000) and action (p=0.000) with a value of α = 0.05. There is an influence of the assistance of Human Development Cadres (KPM) on the knowledge, attitudes and actions of pregnant women in the first and second trimesters in the working area of the Lato Primary Health Care, Titehena District, East Flores Regency in preventing stunting.
