BACKGROUND: Papaya fruit which is a type of fruit that has high nutritional content and is rich in health benefits, one of the benefits is to increase breast milk production. Papaya is a fruit that contains galactagogue, a substance that can help increase and improve breast milk production. AIM: This study aimed to determine papaya fruit’s effect on breast milk production in nursing mothers at Teling Atas Public Health Center, Wanea Subdistrict, Manado City, Indonesia. METHODS: The research method was the pre-experimental method using a before and after intervention design to one group. The study population was all breastfeeding mothers whose babies were aged 0–6 months per June 2019 and a sample size of 14 categorized less breastfeeding, namely, babies often cry; restless baby; the color of the feces dark brown; consistency of solid feces; the baby’s mouth and eyes appear dry; dark yellow urine; and baby’s weight decreases. The intervention group, namely, getting 200 g of papaya 3 times a day, and given for 7 days (1 week). Data analysis is the Wilcoxon Test. RESULTS: Most respondents were less breastfeeding before consuming papaya, about 71.43%. Nursing mothers before and after being given papaya for 7 days increased by 4.1. The mean value before the intervention was 2.21, and after the intervention, the level of milk production increase to 6.36. There was a significant difference in the level of milk production before and after papaya intervention (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Consuming papaya fruit effectively enhanced breast milk production in nursing mothers.
Kebisingan mempengaruhi kesehatan, antara lain dapat menyebabkan kerusakan pada indera pendengaran sampai kepada ketulian. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui pengaruh Intensitas kebisingan terhadap ambang dengar pada pekerja rumah kayu di Kelurahan Wolian I dan II Kota Tomohon.Jenis penelitian ini merupakan studi observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional study. Hasil perhitungan besar sampel dalam penelitian sebesar 34 orang tenaga kerja.Hasil pengolahan dan analisis data secara bivariat dengan menggunakan uji chi square mendapatkan hasil yaitu terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara kebisingan dengan ambang dengar pekerja rumah kayu, terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara lama kerja dengan ganguan ambang dengar pekerja rumah kayu, yang memperoleh nilai p = 0,031, tidak terdapat hubungan antara umur responden dengan gangguan ambang dengan pekerja rumah kayu di Kelurahan Woloan I dan II Kota Tomohon, yang memperoleh nilai p = 0,745. Saran, bagi perusahaan pembuatan rumah kayu sebagai bahan masukan agar dapat menyediakan alat pelindung diri berupa tutup/sumbat telinga bagi pekerja sehingga penyakit akibat kerja berupa gangguan pendengaran dapat dihindari
Malaria affects almost all components of the blood, and thrombocytopenia is one of the haematological abnormalities encountered and has received much attention in the scientific literature. Plasmodium infection can cause abnormalities in the structure and function of platelets. This study aims to spatialize/map the spread of malaria events, locations and physical and chemical environmental conditions of breeding places of malaria vectors and analyze the effect of Plasmodium sp density on anaemia and thrombocytopenia in malaria sufferers in Talaud Islands Regency in 2018. The research sample was malaria sufferers in April. Until August, who came to check at the Community Health Center in Talaud Islands Regency to obtain data on Plasmodium sp density, anaemia and thrombocytopenia, then coordinate data on the homes of malaria sufferers and Anopheles sp habitat and the physical and chemical environmental conditions of Anopheles sp habitat that were surveyed using tools Global Positioning System (GPS) is processed using the help of Arcgis 9.3 program. To analyze the effect of plasmodium sp density on anaemia and thrombocytopenia using Chi-square test statistics. The results of the study The spread of malaria incidence and the distance of Anopheles sp habitat with malaria sufferers' homes in Talaud Islands Regency in 2018 were spelt out. Physical environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) and chemical environment (pH and salinity) in the habitat of Anopheles sp. in residential areas of malaria sufferers are Temperature 27.9 - 29.8 0c, humidity 70.5% - 80.4%, pH in the range 5.6 - 8.1 and salinity 0.04 - 1.35 ‰. The density of Plasmodium sp in 34 malaria sufferers consisted of 18 cases +, 10 cases ++, 5 cases +++ and 1 case ++++. Statistical test results have a relationship between Plasmodium sp density against anaemia and thrombocytopenia in malaria sufferers in Talaud Islands District in 2018.
