One of the primary health problems still found in Lambung Bukit Village is the high stunting rate. The incidence of stunting is influenced by many factors, one of which is intestinal worm infection (Helminthiasis). Worms that live in the intestine will interfere with the absorption of food and suck the blood of their host, causing malabsorption, malnutrition and growth disorders, which can cause stunting. Therefore, genuine efforts are needed to eradicate this helminthic disease. Department Parasitology of Medical Faculty, the Andalas University, conducted community service activities at SDN 10 Lambung Bukit to reduce intestinal worm infections in children by providing counselling, detection and treatment, and follow-up on treatment success. The counselling activity was attended by 88 students and eight teachers, with 59 samples of faeces collected. From the stool examination results, none of the worm eggs was found, but four students were positive for intestinal protozoa. Furthermore, treatment was given to these four students. Through this activity, it was expected to increase students' awareness of maintaining personal hygiene so that to reduce the incidence of helminthiasis, and help to reduce stunting rates.
AbstrakSalah satu permasalahan gizi yang dihadapi Indonesia adalah anemia defisiensi besi. Defesiensi besi ini dapat disebabkan oleh asupan dan serapan yang tidak adekuat, seperti kebiasaan mengonsumsi zat yang dapat menghambat penyerapan zat besi seperti minum teh pada saat makan. Hambatan penyerapan ini disebabkan oleh polifenol yang terkandung di dalam teh, terutama tanin. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada teh hitam dan teh hijau yang banyak dikonsumsi masyarakat. Larutan teh hitam dan teh hijau dijadikan sebagai kontrol, kemudian diberikan perlakuan dengan meneteskan FeCl3 1% sebanyak lima tetes. Larutan tersebut dibaca besar absorbannya dengan spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Prosedur ini dilakukan dengan pengulangan sebanyak lima kali. Data hasil penelitian diolah dengan menggunakan independent sample t test untuk melihat perbedaan rata-rata pada dua kelompok sampel tersebut. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan rata-rata besar absorban teh hitam kontrol 0,539 dan setelah diteteskan zat besi 0,30640. Absorban teh hijau kontrol 0,961 dan setelah diteteskan zat besi 0,65020. Hal ini berarti bahwa terjadi penurunan konsentrasi larutan tersebut. Penurunan absorban pada kontrol teh hitam dengan perlakuan adalah 43,15%, sedangkan pada teh hijau adalah 32,34%. Berdasarkan uji statistik, disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara absorbansi teh hitam dan teh hijau.Kata kunci: Teh hitam, teh hijau, zat besi, absorban.AbstractOne of the nutritional problems faced by Indonesia is iron deficiency anemia. It is caused by inadequate intake and absorption. One of the causes of this inadequate absorption is eating habit to consume substances that can inhibit iron absorption like drinking tea while eating. This is caused by tea polyphenol compounds, especially tannins. Black tea and green tea were observed in this research since these are widely consumed by public. Solution of black tea and green tea were used as control and they were treated by giving five drops of 1% FeCl3. Absorbance of those solutions was read by using spectrophotometer UV-Vis. This procedure was done with five times repetition. The result of this research was processed by using independent sample t test to discern mean of two groups samples. The result showed that the absorbance mean of black tea control is 0.539 and the absorbance mean of black tea that has dripped by iron is 0.30640. As for the green tea control absorbance is 0.961 and absorbance mean after iron sheds is 0.65020. It means that there is a dilution and reduction of solution concentration. Based on these figures, it was concluded that the concentration of black tea with iron sheds is smaller than the concentration of green tea with iron sheds. Nevertheless, there is a greater reduction in black tea compare with green tea in the absorbance reduction. Absorbance reduction from black tea control group to treatment group is 43.15%, while absorbance reduction from green tea control group to treatment group is 32.34%. Based on statistical tests, it was concluded that there is a significant difference between the absorbance of black tea and green tea.Keywords: Black tea, green tea, iron, absorbance.
Evaluation of medical teacher performances is necessary to build better educational goals in training medical students into qualified physicians. Portfolio is widely used in any field of education, including medicine. The use of portfolio in evaluating the medical teacher performance may help finding the best way possible to improve the quality of medical education. Medical educator teaching portfolio (METP) could be implemented by analyzing the institutional context while maintaining its main component of evaluation, personal professional development, learning process, and additional features. The challenges of implementation of METP including human resources, funding, workloads, and technology should be addressed by faculty members to overcome. Consideration of the importance of METP shows how far we strive for ensuring the best quality for education in medical institution. Keywords: medical teacher, evaluation, portfolio, medical education
Gangguan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak merupakan masalah kesehatan yang banyak dijumpai di masyarakat. Anemia dan buta warna merupakan Kondisi kesehatan yang dapat memengaruhi kualitas tumbuh kembang seorang anak, namun kondisi tersebut jarang disadari oleh orang tua, demikian pula dengan data golongan darah anak, yang juga jarang menjadi perhatian orang tua. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah melakukan penyuluhan kesehatan, pemeriksaan buta warna, golongan darah dan kadar hemoglobin pada anak usia sekolah di Kenagarian Sumanik. Pelaksanaan kegiatan ini berupa penyuluhan kesehatan tentang cara mencuci tangan yang benar dan kewaspadaan terhadap konten internet, dan dilanjutkan dengan pemeriksaan kesehatan berupa tes buta warna, kadar hemoglobin dan golongan darah. Dari hasil kegiatan yang telah dilakukan pemeriksaan buta warna pada 79 orang anak dengan hasil 2 orang anak mengalami buta warna parsial. Pemeriksaan kadar Hemoglobin terhadap 77 orang anak, diperoleh hasil 28 anak (36,4%) mengalami anemia, dengan kadar hemoglobin 9,2-11,9 gr/dL. Pemeriksaan golongan darah terhadap 76 orang anak, diperoleh 1 orang anak dengan golongan darah B rhesus (-). Dari kegiatan ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa masih rendahnya pengetahuan anak usia sekolah di Kenagarian Sumaniak tentang cara mencuci tangan yang baik dan benar bahkan anak tidak mengetahui dampak buruk terkait konten dewasa di internet. Di samping itu terlihat anak berpenyakit anemia masih tergolong tinggi. Untuk itu diperlukan promosi kesehatan yang berkesinambungan. Untuk kelainan yang belum dapat diatasi pada saat kegiatan, dianjurkan untuk mendapatkan pengobatan ke pusat layanan kesehatan terdekat.
Various factors strongly influence the development and growth of children. One of the factors that influence this is the nutritional status of children. The child’s nutritional status is also influenced by how the child eats and whether there is an infection. One of the conditions that affect illness is helminthiasis. Helminthiasis caused by intestinal parasites, mostly soil-transmitted helminthes, a particular species of worm that requires soil as media for its spreading. These parasitic infections are more common in school-age children due to lack of hygiene awareness, such as not using appropriate footwear, keeping the long and dirty nails, and not washing hands before eating - water, sanitation, and hygiene influence risk factors in developing countries and worm prevalence rates. The incidence of soil transmitted helminthes is evenly distributed worldwide, mainly among school-age children. These worms can affect the absorption of food, interfere with the number of calories, and cause blood loss. Children who suffer from worms will look thin, tired, weak, easy to get sick, and have decreased in learning concentration, thereby reducing academic performance. This worm infection is chronic, so complaints are initially unknown and felt, most of complaints are realized too late and have far-reaching effects. In general, this worm affects children in almost all parts of the world, affecting nutritional status, anemia, and IQ. Research in Indonesia shows a relationship between the incidence of helminthiasis and nutritional status disorders, such as malnutrition. Helminthiasis affect all digestive pathways, intake, absorption, and metabolism of food. Keywords: malnutrition, helminthiasis, children.
