Context and AimsSleep disorders are one of the most common disorders but are not given enough importance in medical teaching. This study was done to find the knowledge of medical students about the most common sleep disorders. Design Cross-sectional study. Methods and Materials A total of 232 final-year medical students from four medical colleges filled up OSAKA and OSAKAkids questionnaire. Statistical Analysis Used Demographic variables were summarized by descriptive statistic measures like counts and percentages. Continuous variables like knowledge scores were summarized as mean and standard deviation. Knowledge scores and perceived importance were compared using t test; p value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results Knowledge score of students for OSAKA adults and OSAKA-kids questionnaire was 37.93 ± 16.31 and 42.1 ± 20.27%. 91.47, and 86.21% of students rated OSA in adults and kids, respectively, as important to extremely important clinical disorder. Conclusions Although majority of medical students think OSA is significant medical disorder, their knowledge regarding OSA is very poor. Dedicated sleep medicine training covering main sleep disorders should be done in all medical colleges.
ObjectiveTo study the prevalence of primary monosymptopomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) in children aged 5–10 year and to find its association with sleep disordered breathing (SDB) by using a 22 item pediatric sleep related breathing disorder (SRBD) scale.MethodsThis was a school based cross sectional epidemiological study from July 2015 to November 2015. A questionnaire seeking information on socio-demographic variables, nocturnal enuresis (NE) frequency, school performance and a validated 22 item pediatric sleep related breathing disorder scale (SRBDs) was distributed to 1820 pupils in three primary schools.ResultsA total of 1528(83.95%) questionnaires were retrieved. Out of 1528 forms, 182(11.9%) forms were incomplete for requested information and hence 1346 (73.9%) questionnaires were finally analyzed. The prevalence of NE was found to be 12.7% (95% CI; 11–14.6), whereas prevalence of primary nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) was 8.2% (95% CI; 7.1–10.1). SRBD scale score >0.33 (adjusted OR: 2.87; 95%CI: 1.67–4.92), paternal history of enuresis in childhood (adjusted OR:4.96; 95% CI: 2.36–10.45), and inappropriate toilet training (adjusted OR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.01–2.66) were independently associated with PMNE.ConclusionSleep disordered breathing, inappropriate toilet training and a history of childhood NE in father were found to be significant risk factors for PMNE in the present study. Thus, these findings suggest that it is imperative to rule out SDB in PMNE patients as they may require different therapeutic interventions.
This study aims to describe the understanding of junior high school through the application of an environment-based learning approach to the material of environmental problems. The method refers to students’ understanding of three indicators (translation, interpretation, and extrapolation). The subject was determined by purposive sampling of 63 students from three junior high schools in the city of Bengkulu, Indonesia. The collection technique is essay test. The results of the study are: (1) the ability to translate student translation 74 (Good), interpretation of 71 (good), and extrapolation 83 (very good), (2) the percentage of three indicators of student understanding, namely 37% translation, interpretation 31%, and 32 % extrapolation, (3) the overall level of student understanding is 14%, both 68% and very good 18%. The understanding can be categorized as good in ecosystem learning. The conclusion of this study that learning with an environmental approach has a positive impact on understanding junior high school students.
Keywords:Writing Ability, Field Study, Conservation Area Important writing skills need to be enhanced to help students compete in the 4.0 educational era. The aim of this study is to describe the ability to write the results of field studies in the Panjang beach TWA area. Data collection techniques used are rubrics. The research instrument used was the rubric sheet assessing scientific reports. The results of this study indicate aspects of writing skills, namely score 3 category for the aspects of title, method, results, conclusions, bibliography, while score 2 with category of sufficient is obtianed for the aspects of introduction and discussion. The average score in the ability of students to write reports is 3 with a category of good via utilizing the field of study activities. Empowering writing skills can be done by innovating learning using outdoor learning.
This study aims to develop a Heosemys Spinosa monitoring model to assist practicum activities on Conservation Education material. This type of research is a development to produce a turtle monitoring model in practical activities. The research location was conducted in the turtle conservation area of Bengkulu University. The research data were collected using survey techniques, observation and documentation. The instruments used include questionnaire sheets, observation sheets. The results of this study were a turtle monitoring model which consisted of four stages, namely (a) orientation by observing the location, tools and animals of the turtles; (b) exploration with turtle monitoring activities; (c) Interpretation through data analysis and verification; (d) translation, namely data visualization and mapping. Based on the research results, monitoring of Heosemys spinosa turtles can be used as material for conservation practice activities for postgraduate education at the University of Bengkulu.
