Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had many impacts on various aspects of life, one of which is education. The education system has changed from face-to-face to online learning methods. Online learning methods make students more likely to use digital media such as computers, laptops or mobile phones. The use of digital media that occurs continuously and without being balanced with sufficient knowledge can certainly have impacts on eye health. One form of eye health problems that often arise due to the use of digital media is computer vision syndrome (CVS). Purposes: Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study to see the picture of students' knowledge about this disorder. Methods: The method used in this research is cross-sectional descriptive. Result: The mean age of the respondents was 19.91±1.648 years. A total of 82.7% of respondents complained of having more than 5 symptoms and as many as 98.5% had CVS. 90.6% of respondents complained about fatigue eyes, followed by 80.5% complained about eye strain symptoms and 80.5% complained about headaches, 42.9% of respondents have a lack of knowledge about CVS and only 15.4% of respondents have a good level of knowledge about CVS. Conclusion: It can be concluded that respondents’ lack of knowledge about CVS is the cause of the high prevalence of CVS in students, so they don’t know how to prevent this CVS. Therefore, it is necessary to take actions to increase students' knowledge about this disorder, so that it doesn’t cause negative impacts on eye health in the future.
Diabetes Mellitus patients are predicted to reach 592 million in 2035 (Indonesia to grow from 9.1 million in 2014 to 14.1 million in 2035). Traditional plants and spices are easily found within society, some of which are used to control blood sugar level, eg. cinnamon. Cinnamon was known for its effectiveness in controlling blood sugar level, both on healthy and people with Diabetes Mellitus. So that blood sugar level reduction effect using cinnamon is worth to consider as a medication for Diabetes Mellitus. The goal of this research is to learn if there will be a reduction in blood sugar level with cinnamon consumption in a short period. Design that is used in this research is quasi experimental study. Respondents are given a brew of 6 gr cinnamon powder and 100 ml of hot water. Blood sugar levels are measured before and after the given cinnamon brew. 52 respondents participated in this research. Statistical analysis used is the Wilcoxon test. Blood sugar level median before given cinnamon brew is 142,71±66,11 mg/dL, while 2 hours after given cinnamon brew, blood sugar level reduced to 113,97±54,95 mg/dL. There is a reduction in blood sugar level by 28,74 mg/dL (20,14%). Wilcoxon test result indicated that there is a significant correlation with p-value = 0,0001. It is concluded that consuming 6 gram of cinnamon powder could reduce blood sugar level after 2 hours of consumption. Keywords: blood sugar; cinnamon; diabetes melitusABSTRAKDiperkirakan penderita diabetes melitus akan meningkat mencapai 592 juta orang pada tahun 2035. Indonesia diperkirakan dari 9,1 juta pada tahun 2014 akan menjadi 14,1 juta pada tahun 2035. Tanaman tradisional dan rempah-rempah mudah dijumpai di dalam masyarakat dan dapat dijadikan obat, beberapa diantaranya digunakan untuk mengontrol kadar gula darah, salah satunya adalah kayu manis. Kayu manis diketahui memiliki efektivitas dalam mengontrol gula darah, baik pada orang sehat maupun pada orang dengan diabetes melitus. Sehingga efek penurunan kadar gula darah dengan kayu manis patut dipertimbangkan sebagai pengobatan diabetes melitus. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah ingin mengetahui apakah terjadi penurunan kadar gula darah sewaktu dengan Pemberian kayu manis dalam waktu yang cukup singkat. Desain yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah studi kuasi eksperimental. Responden diberikan seduhan serbuk kayu manis sebanyak 6 gram dalam air panas sebanyak 100 ml. Kadar gula darah sewaktu diukur sebelum dan setelah Pemberian seduhan kayu manis. Sebanyak 52 responden berpartispasi dalam penelitian ini. Uji statistik yang digunakan adalah uji Wilcoxon. Rerata nilai gula darah sewaktu sebelum diberikan kayu manis adalah 142,71±66,11 mg/dL. Sedangkan rerata nilai gula darah sewaktu setelah 2 jam adalah sebesar 113,97±54,95 mg/dL. Terdapat penurunan nilai kadar gula darah sewaktu sebanyak 28,74 mg/dL (20,14%). Hasil uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan dengan p-value = 0,0001. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian kayu manis dengan dosis 6 gram dapat menurunkan nilai kadar gula darah sewaktu setelah 2 jam pemberian.
