Objective To determine the effectiveness of a cognitive behaviour language therapy (CBLT) programme to reduce speech anxiety among stuttering school adolescents. Methods This was a group randomized clinical trial that enrolled stuttering school adolescents who had severe speech anxiety. The participants were randomized to either the treatment group or the control group. The Speech Anxiety Thoughts Inventory (SATI) score was recorded before and after a 12-week CBLT programme was delivered in 24 group sessions to the treatment group. The control group did not receive any therapy. Results A total of 92 stuttering school adolescents who met the inclusion criteria were randomized to the treatment group ( n = 46; 22 males, 24 females; mean ± SD age, 16.36 ± 2.20 years) or the control group ( n = 46; 28 males, 18 females; mean ± SD age, 15.45 ± 2.10 years). Results showed that the CBLT intervention significantly reduced speech anxiety among stuttering school adolescents compared with the control group (post-test SATI assessment, mean ± SD 26.52 ± 1.67 versus 89.92 ± 3.17, respectively). Conclusion These findings suggest that speech educators and therapists in educational institutions and hospitals should follow the principles of CBLT when treating speech anxiety.

Sampling technique that used is purposive sampling with respondent divided into twogroups, the treatment group and control group with 15 respondents for each group. Data wasanalyzed by using Dependent t test and Independent t test with 95% CI. The result showed thatthere was a significant difference stress before and after given AR technique within average 19,2 to10,87 (p = 0,001). Mean while, there was no significant difference of stress between pretest and posttest in control group within average 18,73 to 18,4 (p = 0,841). Overall, there was a difference ofstress between treatment group and control group (p =0,02, α = 0,05).

Background. Chronic occupational exposure in textile workers lowers the pulmonary function and levels of sinonasal IgA. A Nephrolepis exaltata herbal mask can protect the respiratory tract. This study aims to understand the effect of this herbal mask on the IgA levels and pulmonary function in textile workers. Thirty employees were selected for this study. Methods. The pre- and post-test randomized experimental control trials were conducted in a garment industry of Bawen, Semarang, Indonesia. The subjects that qualified to participate (n = 30) fulfilled the inclusion criteria i.e., 20–35 years old, healthy, and willing to be a research subject; and exclusion criteria i.e., having history of alcohol consumption, smoking, history of liver disease, autoimmune disease, cancer, pulmonary and heart disease and/or being pregnant. The subjects were then divided randomly into control group (n = 15), who used regular mask that was rewashed and changed every month for eight weeks, and treatment group (n = 15), who used Nephrolepis exaltata mask that was changed every two days for eight weeks. Pulmonary function tests were carried out using MIR Spirolab III before and after the experiment. IgA levels were measured by nasal wash method using ELISA. Results. IgA levels of the treatment group before and after usage of mask were significantly different (p<0.001) compared to the control group. There were significant difference in FVC of the control group, but no significant difference was observed for FEV1 (p=0.507) and PEF (p=0.001). In the treatment group, all three parameters showed significant differences [FVC (p=0.038), FEV1 (p=0.004), and PEF (p=0.001)]. The means of ΔFVC, ΔFEV1, and ΔPEF were significantly (p<0.05) higher in the treatment group with OR = 5.1 for higher IgA levels. Conclusions. The herbal mask is better in increasing IgA and improving the pulmonary function compared to the regular mask.

BACKGROUND: Herbal mouthwash is considered as an alternative regimen in maintaining oral hygiene. Tea contains compounds such as catechin and tannin which possess bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect which helps to prevent dental caries. AIM: This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness between rinsing with steeping black tea and green tea solution in decreasing the amount of Streptococcus mutans. METHODS: This is an experimental study with pre and post-test controlled group design. The sample were 60 college students from North Sumatera University which were then divided into three groups: oral rinsing with steeping black tea (treatment group), oral rinsing with steeping green tea (treatment group) and oral rinsing with listerine (control group). Saliva collection was carried out before treatment (pre-test/baseline) and after treatment (post-test). Treatment group was instructed to rinse 15 ml of steeping black and green tea solution whereas control group were instructed to rinse 15 ml listerine for 30 seconds and get rid of it. The saliva samples before and after treatment were brought to the microbiology laboratorium for Streptococcus mutans amount calculation using Total Plate Count (TPC) method. A T-test were used to determine the difference between rinsing with black tea and green tea and Kruskalwalis used to determine the difference between rinsing with steeping black tea, steeping green tea and aquadest towards the mean amount of bacteria before and after treatment. RESULT: The results showed significant reduction in amount of Streptococcus mutans in both treatment group where black tea group before treatment 28.90 x 103 ± 7.152 x 103 CFU/ml and after treatment 21.60 x 103 ± 6.295 x 103 CFU/ml (p < 0.05) and green tea group before treatment 70.15 x 103 ± 34.814 x 103 CFU/ml and after treatment 54.85 x 103 ± 31.451 x 103 CFUml (p < 0.05). The results in control group also showed reduction in amount of Streptococcus mutans where before treatment 25.80 x 103 ± 12.190 x 103 CFU/ml and after treatment 11.30 x 103 ± 8.228 x 103 CFU/ml (p > 0.000). Statistical analysis revealed that significant difference was found in the mean reduction of total Streptococcus mutans before and after in black tea group 7.30 x 103 ± 3.062 x 103 CFU/ml and green tea group 15.30 x 103 ± 11.045 x 103 CFU/ml (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that rinsing with steeping green tea solution has more effectiveness in decreasing the total Streptococcus mutans as compared to black tea solution.

The average consumption of vegetables and fruits in Indonesia is still low. This condition can cause the emergence of nutritional problems in children. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nutritional education using pocketbook to increasing knowledge and practice of vegetables and fruits consumption among elementary students. This research was quasy experiment using pre-test post-test control group design. The sample size was 60 students consisting of 20 students of SDN Kandang Tepus I as control group treated with media leaflet and 40 students of SDN Kandang Tepus II as treatment group given the pocketbook. The result of independent t-test in pre-test of booth groups shows that there was no difference in knowledge (p=0.220) and practice (p=0.091) between the two groups. Independent t-test result on post-test also shows was no difference in knowledge (p=0.421) and practice (p=0.810) between the two groups. The result of paired sample t-test of the treatment group showed the average of pre-test and post-test of knowledge score were 31.50 and 66.25 and the practice were 2.58 and 3.08. There were significant difference of knowledge (p=0.000) and practice (p=0.000) before and after being given pocketbook. Wilcoxon sign rank test in the control group showed that leaflet did not affect knowledge (p=0.052) but affect the practice (p=0.001). It can be concluded that use of pocketbook media influence the knowledge and the respondent practice.
