Cardiovascular disease is the highest cause of mortality in Indonesia. One of the factors that causes the disease is low level of health awareness, including healthy lifestyle and health control. Improving public health awareness can be done by providing health education in collaboration with interprofessional health services. A collaboration involving students from various health-related disciplines aims to build good collaboration in the future after the corresponding students become health workers. This study is quasi-experimental. Students from health-related disciplines, especially pharmacy and medical students, were authorized to work directly in health screening and to provide education to the community. Student’s perceptions on the Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) program were explored through Student Perceptions of Physician-Pharmacist Interprofessional Clinical Education (SPICE) questionnaire, which were given before and after the community project. Among 87 SPICE questionnaires, 78 questionnaires filled in completely were collected from pharmacy and medical students. The results of the questionnaire showed good perceptions before and after activities in the community with mean scores of 4.46 (0.35) and 4.5 (0.37) respectively. Wilcoxon test results found no significant difference on the total SPICE scores before and after the activity (P> .05). One item from the SPICE questionnaire, which was the seventh item related to understanding the role of other professionals in the interdisciplinary team, had a significant increase (P <.05).

School age children are groups that is prone to experiencing health problems due to low knowledge of clean and healthy life behavior. To increase their knowledge, an attractive promotional media namely snake and ladder is needed so that the delivery of material is easily accepted by them. The purpose of this method is as a stimulus medium so that elementary school students can easily understand on how to improve clean and healthy life behavior. The research method was quasi-experimental with One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population were 85 elementary school students of Ujong Tanjung in IV, V and VI grade who had been given an understanding of CHLB. The sample consisted of 30 people who would be given a pre-test and post-test who were previously given snake and ladder media intervention. The results showed there was a significant improvement on student’s knowledge after they got intervention with snake and ladder media where during the pre-test the respondents who had good knowledge were 11 people (36.7%) but after being given the intervention, it was increase into 22 people (73.3%). On the other hand, respondents with poor knowledge category on pre-test were 19 people (63.3%), after being given the intervention, it was decrease into 8 people (26.7%). Based on the results of Wilcoxon test, it was found Pvalue = 0,000 < α =0.05, it is indicated there is a significant difference on respondents’ knowledge about clean and healthy life behavior (CHLB) before and after given the intervention through Snake and Ladder (SAL) media. The conclusion is there is the difference in the level of respondents’ knowledge on CHLB (Clean and Healthy Living Behavior) before and after the intervention through Snake and Ladder (SAL) media.

Context.— Multiple articles and surveys in the literature suggest that medical students find a career in pathology undesirable and believe it is disproportionately focused primarily on the autopsy. Objective.— To measure the effect of applied interventions on medical student attitudes about the field of pathology. Design.— This prospective study involving medical students from first through fourth year was conducted as a pilot study in 2 medical schools in the United States. A 2-part anonymous survey regarding interest in pathology as a career and familiarity with the specialty using a 10-point scale was given to first- and second-year medical students before and after they listened to a 10-minute pathology career presentation. The same survey was given to third- and fourth-year medical students before and after a 4-week pathology elective. Results.— A total of 121 and 83 students responded to the survey before and after the intervention, respectively. Of the 121 students who responded to the survey before the intervention, 106 (87.6%) had not spent significant time in a pathology laboratory before the intervention. The majority of responses in interest in career, job responsibilities, and features of pathologists before and after the intervention demonstrated a statistically significant difference (P &lt; .001). We compared survey scores of presentation versus 4-week rotation groups before and after the intervention. Students who experienced the presentation did not differ from students who experienced the rotation in the majority of questions related to interest in career, job responsibilities, and features of pathologists. Conclusions.— Our study suggests that pathology exposure strategies can have a beneficial effect on student perceptions of the field and consideration of a career in pathology. Overall, the presentation intervention on the first- and second-year students seemed to have the greatest effect.

Children Development

The children are not small adults, but have unique characteristics that are always growing and evolving since their conception until the end of adolescence. Good growth and development of children requires appropriate stimulation and accordance with the age such as developmental stimulation. The aim of this study was to determine the influence development simulations towards pre-school children’s growth status. This research was using the quasi-experimental design without control. The numbers of respondents were 30 children (with aged 60-72 month). The children with dubious developmental status had performed the development stimulations for 2 weeks for 3-4 housr a day and evaluated the development status. Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire (KPSP) instrument used in this research. The data analysis was using univariate analysis (frequency distributions), bivariate (Wilcoxon test) and multivariate (ANCOVA test). There was a significant difference in the children’s development status before and after development stimulation interventions (p= 0.000), but there was no children and mothers’ characteristic factors that affect the children development status. Stimulation associated with the value of child development, where the high category of stimulation is not found in children whose development category is slow. So it takes stimulation of children from an early age. Growth stimulations can be done routinely as a part of efforts to improve the children development status.

ABSTRACT Objectives: The present study verified the influence of whitening dentifrices on the surface roughness of a nanohybrid composite resin. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two specimens were prepared with Filtek™ Z350 XT (3M/ESPE) and randomly divided into four groups (n = 08) that were subjected to brushing simulation equivalent to the period of 1 month. The groups assessed were a control group with distilled water (G1), Colgate Total 12 Professional Clean (G2), Sensodyne Extra Whitener Extra Fresh (G3), and Colgate Luminous White (G4). A sequence of 90 cycles was performed for all the samples. The initial roughness of each group was analyzed by the Surface Roughness Tester (TR 200-TIME Group Inc., CA, USA). After the brushing period, the final roughness was measured, and the results were statistically analyzed using nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn tests for intergroup roughness comparison in the time factor. For intragroup and “Δ Final − Initial” comparisons, the Wilcoxon test and (one-way) ANOVA were, respectively, performed (α = 0.05). Results: The roughness mean values before and after brushing showed no statistically significant difference when the different dentifrices were used. None of the dentifrices analyzed increased significantly the nanohybrid composite resin surface roughness in a 1 month of tooth brushing simulation. Conclusions: These results suggest that no hazardous effect on the roughness of nanohybrid composite resin can be expected when whitening dentifrices are used for a short period. Similar studies should be conducted to analyze other esthetic composite materials.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To investigate patients’ and physicians’ perceptions of lumbar puncture (LP) and tolerability. METHODS Adult patients were surveyed prior to and after the procedure regarding patient perceptions and actual experience of LP. Presence of symptoms pre- and post-LP were compared by McNemar test; symptom severity score was rated 0–10, compared by Wilcoxon test; and relative risks were compared by Fisher’s exact test. In addition to patient surveys, email requests to complete an eight-question survey regarding LP tolerability was sent to faculty physicians at two academic centers. RESULTS A total of 154 patients and 302 physicians completed the surveys during 1/2017-5/2019. Ninety-one patients (59%) reported anxiety prior to-LP compared to 52 (34%) who reported anxiety after the LP (p< 0.0001). Whereas 74% of patients predicted LP to be painful prior to LP, only 48% reported that LP was painful after the procedure (p< 0.0001). On an 11-point scale, patients anticipated significantly greater pain from LP than they reported after the procedure (mean 3.4 and 2.0 respectively, p< 0.0001). Patients who anticipated pain were more likely to experience pain (RR=1.65, 95% CI 1.07–2.73). There was no significant difference in symptoms such as headache, nausea, generalized pain, vision or gait disturbance before and after the procedure. After the LP, 117 patients (77%) answered they would repeat LP if recommended by their doctors. Out of 302 physicians (40% women), the majority (81%) felt that the LP induces anxiety or worry in patients, and 50% answered that the LP is painful for patients in general. CONCLUSION We observed that although anticipation of pain contributed to pre-procedure anxiety, LP was generally well-tolerated. The majority of patients experienced minimal pain. The results of this study suggest that measures to reduce pre-procedure anxiety may improve the tolerability of LP, an important diagnostic tool in neuro-oncology.
