2026-01-28T02:25:57+00:00

Nutrient deficiency was one of the nutritional problems that could hinder the growth and development process of children. Around the world, many children aged zero to five experienced malnutrition, including a significant number who had low body weight. Insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables caused the body to lack essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which potentially led to various illnesses. This research aimed to produce educational media in the form of a healthy human silhouette magnetic board about healthy lifestyles for preschool children. This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method. The research procedure followed the ADDIE model, which consisted of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The study was implemented at TK PKK Gandekan from March to April 2025. The expert validation results showed a very feasible category, and the participant trial results also indicated a very feasible category. The products developed, such as boards with pictures of children’s human organs and magnets with images of fruits and vegetables, were attractive and could be understood by preschool children. Subsequent researchers could test the media on more diverse samples and explore additional health aspects, while educational institutions could adopt it as an interactive learning tool with teacher training support.

The Relationship between the Degree of Intraoperative Bleeding and the Incidence of Postoperative Shivering in Spinal Anesthesia Patients

Postoperative shivering is a common complication in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia and may increase oxygen consumption, cardiac workload, and delay recovery. Intraoperative bleeding is considered one contributing factor, as blood loss can reduce core body temperature. This quantitative correlational study used a cross-sectional approach involving 76 patients selected through purposive sampling. Intraoperative bleeding was assessed using observation sheets, while shivering was measured using a standardized shivering scale. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. Most respondents experienced mild shivering (57.9%) and Class 1 intraoperative bleeding (78.9%). Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.000 and an r-value of 0.440, indicating a significant moderate positive correlation. Higher degrees of intraoperative bleeding are associated with an increased risk of postoperative shivering in spinal anesthesia patients.

2026-02-26T03:33:05+00:00

The number of traffic accidents in Indonesia is still very high, where every year almost 1.3 million people die due to these accidents, and millions of others are injured. Of these accident victims, approximately 30% are children and adolescents, who are the nation's future generation. More than 30% of traffic accident victims are under 25 years old. Traffic accidents are the most dangerous cause of death for people aged 15-29 years. This study aims to determine the effect of E-Comic-based education on the level of knowledge of students at SMAN 1 Pekanbaru City. This type of research is quantitative using a design (Quasy Experiment) with a Pre-test Post-test Nonequivalent Control Group Design approach. This study was conducted at SMAN 1 Pekanbaru City with a total of 40 respondents who were conducted for 1 day. The results of this study obtained a difference in the average knowledge score in the intervention group of 21.65 and a difference in the control group of 12.45. Although both experienced an increase, the average knowledge score in the intervention group was higher than the control group, which means that e-comic-based education is more effective in increasing knowledge than education that only provides PowerPoint. The results of the t-dependent statistical test showed a p-value of 0.000 for the intervention group and the control group, which means a p-value <0.05, so the hypothesis H0 is rejected, which means that e-comics are effective in increasing knowledge about first aid for traffic accident victims at SMAN 1 Pekanbaru City. The results of the t-independent sample t-test showed a p value of 0.003 which means Sig. (2-tailed) <0.05, so the hypothesis H0 was rejected, which means there was a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that e-comic-based education is effective in increasing students' knowledge about first aid for traffic accident victims.
