AbstrakSalah satu permasalahan gizi yang dihadapi Indonesia adalah anemia defisiensi besi. Defesiensi besi ini dapat disebabkan oleh asupan dan serapan yang tidak adekuat, seperti kebiasaan mengonsumsi zat yang dapat menghambat penyerapan zat besi seperti minum teh pada saat makan. Hambatan penyerapan ini disebabkan oleh polifenol yang terkandung di dalam teh, terutama tanin. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada teh hitam dan teh hijau yang banyak dikonsumsi masyarakat. Larutan teh hitam dan teh hijau dijadikan sebagai kontrol, kemudian diberikan perlakuan dengan meneteskan FeCl3 1% sebanyak lima tetes. Larutan tersebut dibaca besar absorbannya dengan spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Prosedur ini dilakukan dengan pengulangan sebanyak lima kali. Data hasil penelitian diolah dengan menggunakan independent sample t test untuk melihat perbedaan rata-rata pada dua kelompok sampel tersebut. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan rata-rata besar absorban teh hitam kontrol 0,539 dan setelah diteteskan zat besi 0,30640. Absorban teh hijau kontrol 0,961 dan setelah diteteskan zat besi 0,65020. Hal ini berarti bahwa terjadi penurunan konsentrasi larutan tersebut. Penurunan absorban pada kontrol teh hitam dengan perlakuan adalah 43,15%, sedangkan pada teh hijau adalah 32,34%. Berdasarkan uji statistik, disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara absorbansi teh hitam dan teh hijau.Kata kunci: Teh hitam, teh hijau, zat besi, absorban.AbstractOne of the nutritional problems faced by Indonesia is iron deficiency anemia. It is caused by inadequate intake and absorption. One of the causes of this inadequate absorption is eating habit to consume substances that can inhibit iron absorption like drinking tea while eating. This is caused by tea polyphenol compounds, especially tannins. Black tea and green tea were observed in this research since these are widely consumed by public. Solution of black tea and green tea were used as control and they were treated by giving five drops of 1% FeCl3. Absorbance of those solutions was read by using spectrophotometer UV-Vis. This procedure was done with five times repetition. The result of this research was processed by using independent sample t test to discern mean of two groups samples. The result showed that the absorbance mean of black tea control is 0.539 and the absorbance mean of black tea that has dripped by iron is 0.30640. As for the green tea control absorbance is 0.961 and absorbance mean after iron sheds is 0.65020. It means that there is a dilution and reduction of solution concentration. Based on these figures, it was concluded that the concentration of black tea with iron sheds is smaller than the concentration of green tea with iron sheds. Nevertheless, there is a greater reduction in black tea compare with green tea in the absorbance reduction. Absorbance reduction from black tea control group to treatment group is 43.15%, while absorbance reduction from green tea control group to treatment group is 32.34%. Based on statistical tests, it was concluded that there is a significant difference between the absorbance of black tea and green tea.Keywords: Black tea, green tea, iron, absorbance.

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been widely known as a healthy drink since long time ago. One of the substances in green tea which can give health benefit is catechin, an antibacterial substance. The purpose of this research is to know the efficacy of rinsing with green tea extract to Streptococcus alpha growth on gingivitis patient’s dental plaque. The research subjects include 30 mild gingivitis patients, and these subjects are divided into two groups: treatment group (20 patients) and control group (10 patients). Ten patients of treatment group rinse their mouth with 0.25% green tea extract and 10 other patients with 0.5% green tea extract. Meanwhile, control group use Bactidol (0.1% Hexetidine). Rinsing the mouth is performed every morning and night for five days. Sampling is conducted on the first and sixth day. Before rinsing data is analyzed using ANOVA and the result shows a significant difference. ANAVA testing then is done using proportion value. ANAVA Testing result shows that there is no significant difference among the patients in the treatment group. This result indicates that the effect of rinsing with 0.25% and 0.5% green tea extract is equivalent to the control (0.1% Hexetidine) to inhibit S. alpha growth on mild gingivitis patient’s dental plaque. From these two concentrations, it has not been known which one is the most effective concentration to inhibit S. alpha growth on mild gingivitis patient.

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic illness with complex disease which could lead to other underlying diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Urban population must manage their illness due to their occupation. Coaching support is an advanced method to help individuals manage their illnesses, especially chronic illness. Symptoms and complaints in early-stage renal disorders tend to be mild, making it difficult to diagnose only by clinical examination. Impaired kidney function can lead to progressive kidney damage. AIM: This study aimed was to analyze the effect of coaching support in maintaining kidney function in patients with CKD. METHODS: This research used quasi-experiment with pre-test and post-test with control group design. Respondents in this study were 40 CKD patients which were taken by consecutive sampling technique and divided into two groups, namely, control group and treatment group. Data were collected using blood urea nitrogen and creatinine values observation sheet. Coaching support was divided into four steps of therapy, identify the disturbance, identify based on experience, use a family support system, and evaluating the results. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test with a significance of p < 0.05. RESULTS: This study found that there was a significant difference in kidney function between the control group and the treatment group (p = 0.000). Coaching support interventions were effective on kidney function in patients with CKD. The implementation of coaching support went well because respondents and families were proactive. CONCLUSION: Coaching support should be applied by nurses as daily activity management of CKD patients at early stage to inhibit the kidney function damage progression.
