Indonesia is the country with the highest number of cervical cancer sufferers in the world. Although the use of sanitary pads containing harmful whitening agents has been known as one of the predispositions of cervical cancer, the rate of cervical cancer continues to increase. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and perceived severity of cervical cancer with the behavior of choosing sanitary napkin in college students. This study used a quantitative method of cross-sectional study on 125 research subjects. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the selection of pads both in the knowledge of high and low cervical cancer. However, there is interaction between high knowledge and high perceived severity on sanitary pads selection.

Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is a disease caused due to kidney damage or deterioration glomerulus filtrate rate (GFR/GFR/Glomerular Filtration Rate) <60 ml/min /1.73 m2 for ≥ 3 months. One of the complications that often appears in CRF is anemia or decrease of hemoglobin level in the blood that is related to the relationship intake of nutrients (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship Intake of nutrients (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron) on Hb levels of chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis in RSI Siti Khadijah Palembang. This type of research is an observational analytic with a cross-sectional study design. Population in this study were all outpatients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis in RSI Siti Khadijah Palembang with total research subjects were 50 subjects, taken using purposive sampling and analyzed using chi-square test. The result showed that there are 52% of patients with chronic renal failure are male more than female. The aged 50-64 years old is 44% and 30-49 years old are 32%. The percentage of outpatients who had an adequate intake of protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron were 28%, 10%, 0%, and 18% respectively, meanwhile, most of the patients had low hemoglobin levels which were 94%. There was not a significant association between intake of nutrients (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron) on Hb levels of chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis in RSI Siti Khadijah Palembang. Based on these results, should be noted again nutrient intake (protein, vitamin C, folic acid and iron) outpatient before and after undergoing hemodialysis to support the optimal outcome of hemodialysis therapy.

Background and Objectives: The main objective of the study is to explore the relationship between uncertainty tolerance and positive acceptance of post-surgical patients with cervical cancer and provide reference opinions for gynecological nurses to carry out targeted health education for patients. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Nishtar Hospital Multan with the collaboration of BVH and Avicenna Hospital, Lahore during March 2021 to September 2021. The "Uncertainty Tolerance Scale" and "Positive Acceptance Scale" were used to investigate 233 post-operative patients of cervical cancer. Results: The uncertainty tolerance and acceptance aggressiveness scores were 3.74±0.34 and 1.96±0.20, respectively, with a significant correlation coefficient between uncertainty tolerance and acceptance aggressiveness (r= -0.516, P<0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that the uncertainty tolerance and positive acceptance levels of patients after cervical cancer surgery were low and were negatively correlated with each other. The gynecological nurses should consider the patients' uncertainty tolerance post-surgery and develop tailored health education and intervention programs to improve the positive acceptance level of post-surgical patients with cervical cancer.

Abstract Introduction:At a major hazard facility, sporadic cases of occupational noise-induced hearing loss have occurred despite the use of hearing protection devices. Preliminary testing with a system for measuring personal attenuation ratings (PAR) suggested that earplugs may not achieve the attenuation implied by their Australian Class designation in field-use conditions. We believe that ours to be a world-first study at the time it was conducted to check the relationship between Personal Attenuation Rating (PAR) and the Australian SLC80 classification for hearing protection devices, and the findings can be used to complement studies based on the American Noise Reduction Ratio (NRR).Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed with 65 volunteers. Participants were recruited from Operations and Maintenance Technicians at the major hazard facility. The participants had their PARs checked with different earplug types using the 3MTM E-A-RfitTM system. An earplug is deemed to have achieved a ‘pass’ if it achieved 22 dB attenuation for 80% of users (the definition for Australian Class 4 hearing protection)Results:None of the earplug types achieved the attenuation implied by their class rating when tested in field-use conditions. There were statistically significant differences in the frequency of achieving a ‘Pass’, and in PAR, depending on earplug type. Roll-down foam earplugs may provide superior attenuation compared to pre-moulded earplugs.Conclusion:Earplugs are unlikely to achieve the attenuation found in laboratory conditions during field-use. Personalised selection of hearing protection devices based on fit-testing results should be encouraged.

Introduction: There are many areas of brain degeneration in people with Parkinson's disease. The dopaminergic degeneration process in the midbrain causes early symptoms of sleep disturbances. Hypocretin produced by the hypothalamus is involved in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease. Some research results regarding the relationship between plasma hypocretin levels and sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease are still controversial. Method: This research is a cross sectional study in Neurology Polyclinic Dr. M. Djamil Padang and Network Hospital. All research subjects measured hypocretin levels and sleep disorders using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Statistical analysis was performed on a computerized basis using IBM SPSS statistics version 23.0 for windows. Result: A total of 60 patients with Parkinson's disease were included in this study, 30 subjects experienced sleep disorders and 30 others had no sleep disorders. There was a significant difference in lower plasma hypocretin levels in the Parkinson's group with sleep disorders, namely 81.817 ± 22.770 and in the group without sleep disorders, plasma hypocretin levels were found to be 255.416 ± 226.590 (p = 0.000). There was no statistical difference in clinical degree, age, duration of illness between the Parkinson's group with sleep disorders and the group without sleep disorders p > 0.05. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in hypocretin levels against the sleep disorder group in people with Parkinson's disease. In this study, there was no association between age, clinical degree of Parkinson's disease, and duration of Parkinson's disease and sleep disturbances. Degeneration in the olfactory bulb area, hypothalamus, and brainstem can precede dopaminergic degeneration in the midbrain and cause sleep disturbance symptoms.

Background: Deliberate self-harm (DSH) occurs with high frequency among clinical and nonclinical youth populations. Although depression has been consistently linked with the behavior, not all depressed individuals engage in DSH. Aims: The current study examined maladaptive coping strategies (i.e., self-blame, distancing, and self-isolation) as mediators between depression and DSH among undergraduate students. Methods: 202 students from undergraduate psychology courses at a private university in Southern California (77.7% women) completed anonymous self-report measures. Results: A hierarchical regression model found no differences in DSH history across demographic variables. Among coping variables, self-isolation alone was significantly related to DSH. A full meditational model was supported: Depressive symptoms were significantly related to DSH, but adding self-isolation to the model rendered the relationship nonsignificant. Limitations: The cross-sectional study design prevents determination of whether a casual relation exists between self-isolation and DSH, and obscures the direction of that relationship. Conclusions: Results suggest targeting self-isolation as a means of DSH prevention and intervention among nonclinical, youth populations.
