Abstract Bidet toilets (electric toilet seats with water spray) are increasing in popularity worldwide. However, the extent of reduction of microbial contamination of the hands with the use of bidet toilets after defecation is unclear. Microbe contamination of the hands with and without the use of bidet toilets after defecation was examined in 32 nursing students. Double gloves were worn on the dominant hand and four layers of toilet paper were used to wipe the buttocks after defecation, and microbe contamination of the second glove (outer glove) of the double gloves was examined. The volunteers were free to select the flow volume, wash time of the bidet, and the type of bidet. Without the use of a bidet toilet, the average value ± standard deviation of the number of microbes attached to the gloves was 39,499.3 ± 77,768.3 colony forming units (cfu)/glove; however, it was 4,146.9 ± 11,427.7 cfu/glove when the bidet toilet was used. The number of microbes adhering to gloves was significantly reduced when a bidet toilet was used (p < 0.00001, Wilcoxon signed-rank test).

ABSTRACT: Modification of threshold exemption from import duties was tested whether changing consumer preferences in shopping from abroad. This study uses a paired test with the initial hypothesis that there is no difference in the daily average value of imports before and after the policy is applied. The research data is only from the Customs offices which have services for shipment items (32 offices) on October 1, 2019, to March 2, 2020. Descriptive statistical results show that the average was USD135,065, then dropped to USD127,430. Based on the results, both the Paired Sample T Test and The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test obtained a p-value of 0,000, meaning that the initial hypothesis was rejected. The adoption of this policy has changed the preferences of consumers shopping from abroad. The Government's aim to reduce the trade balance deficit and protect domestic businesses appears to be successful, however, if there are no substitute goods available in the country, the import will only move from importing consignment goods to general imports. The novelty is the variable of import duty on shopping preferences is not widely used. The limitation of this study only measures changes in spending preferences, do not in state revenue.Keywords: shopping preference, consignment, tax exemption, difference test ABSTRAK:Perubahan kebijakan batas pembebasan terhadap bea masuk dan pajak atas impor barang kiriman diuji apakah merubah preferensi konsumen dalam berbelanja barang yang dikirim langsung dari luar negeri melalui mekanisme impor barang kiriman. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif melalui uji berpasangan dengan hipotesis awal tidak adanya perbedaan nilai rerata impor harian baik sebelum maupun setelah kebijakan berlaku. Data penelitian hanya kantor-kantor Bea Cukai yang memiliki pelayanan atas barang kiriman (32 kantor) pada 1 Oktober 2019 sampai dengan 2 Maret 2020. Hasil statistik deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa rerata harian impor sebelum kebijakan tersebut berlaku sebesar USD135.065, kemudian turun menjadi USD127.430. Berdasarkan pengujian, baik pada Paired Sampel T Test maupun pada Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test diperoleh nilai p sebesar 0.000 (hipotesis awal ditolak). Hal ini berarti penerapan kebijakan tersebut telah merubah preferensi belanja dari luar negeri melalui impor barang kiriman. Tujuan Pemerintah untuk mengurangi defisit neraca perdagangan dan melindungi usaha dalam negeri tampaknya berhasil, namun apabila belum tersedia barang subtitusi di dalam negeri, importasi tersebut hanya akan berpindah dari impor barang kiriman menjadi impor umum. Keterbaruan pada penelitian ini adalah variabel bea masuk pada preferensi belanja belum banyak digunakan. Keterbatasan penelitian ini hanya mengukur perubahan preferensi belanja, tidak mengukur perubahan penerimaan negara.Kata Kunci: preferensi belanja, impor barang kiriman, pembebasan pajak, uji beda

Background: Dysmenorrhea or painful menstrual periods is one of the common health issues the female university students experience which intervenes with academic activities and quality of life. Objectives: We aimed to find the prevalence, intensity, extent of impairment in academic engagement, and efficacy of the management of dysmenorrhea among nursing students at Peradeniya University, Sri Lanka. Methodology: This cross sectional study comprised 86 female nursing students who represented all four academic years. A self-administered questionnaire was used. The intensity and level of dysmenorrhea were assessed. Association of the extent of working impairment with the level of pain determined by Pearson correlation. Duration of dysmenorrhea persisted before and after management was compared using paired sample t-test. The effectiveness of management was analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 97.7%. The majority (54.7%) suffered moderate pain. Mean age of the participants was 24.02 (±1.503). During the period of dysmenorrhea, 32.6%, 33.7%, and 17.4% students experienced slight, moderate, and heavy impairment of overall academic engagement. A positive correlation was observed between level of pain and extent of academic impairment ( p < 0.05). The majority practiced pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain relieving methods together. Wilcoxon signed-rank test value revealed more negative ranks and statistically significant reduction in intensity in post-management period ( z = −7.793, p = 0). Post-management dysmenorrhea duration was significantly reduced than pre-management ( t76 = 8.984, p = 0). Conclusion: A substantial percent of undergraduates suffer from dysmenorrhea. It is associated impairment of overall academic engagement. The nursing students were able to manage dysmenorrhea successfully.

Stoma Care

The family can be involved in the patient's stoma care, so the family is expected to be able to monitor and help the patient to achieve self-care. Stoma is a bowel hole that appears on the surface of the abdomen in the reddish mucosa form. One way to increase family knowledge is by providing education. Education is an intervention that can help patients and families to maintain stoma health with appropriate care. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of education on the ability of families on the treatment of stomas in patients undergoing colostomy at the General Hospital H. Adam Malik Medan. This research is a quantitative analytic study with a quasi-experimental research design by the pre and post test treatment groups. The population in this study were 71 people. A sample of 42 respondents representing the families of patients who had a colostomy at the General Hospital H. Adam Malik Medan. In this study, the analysis used is the Willcoxon Signed Rank Test, with p value <0.05. The average value of ability of the family before being educated was 2.00 and a range of 2 to 3. This shows that the ability of familieswas less in caring for stoma while the ability after being educated was of 3.00 and a range of 3 to 3. Its means that the family was able to perform stoma care for his family who had a colostomy. From the differences in the median value and probability was p <0.05.  It can be concluded that education has an effect on increasing the ability of families in stoma care in patients undergoing colostomy.

Background: To determine the effects of an educational playful intervention on nasal hygiene behaviors among preschool (3-4 years old) children. Methods: A quasi-experimental before-after study was conducted with 39 children attending public daycare center in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A group-based intervention consisted of two educational sessions to promote healthy behaviors for nasal hygiene. It was adopted playful strategies such as a story told by puppets, card games and simulation of nasal hygiene in front of the mirror. The outcome was evaluated by observing six healthy behaviors for nasal hygiene one week before and after the intervention. Differences in the outcome before and after the intervention were tested using Wilcoxon signed rank test and McNemar’s test. Results: The median of healthy nasal hygiene behaviors went from 3.0 to 4.0 after the intervention, with a significant statistical difference (P=0.0004) and a difference of behaviors. After the intervention, forcing the air out of one opened nostril increased from 5.1%to 30.8% (P=0.001, CI 95%: 0-0.440), forcing the air out of the other nostril increased from 5.1% to 28.2% (P=0.003/CI 95%: 0-0.50), throwing the piece of toilet paper in the garbage increased from 53.8% to 87.21% (P=0.04, CI 95%: 0.035-0.65), and sanitizing the hands with soap and water increased from 15.4% to 43.6% (P=0.039-0.76). Conclusion: the educational playful intervention improved the autonomy of preschoolers to adopt healthy nasal hygiene behaviors.
