People join professions for different reasons and the same applies to physiotherapists. The aim of the study was to identify the reasons for choosing physiotherapy as a career by Zimbabwean physiotherapy students. The study used a descriptive cross-sectional design where a questionnaire was administered to 60 students. Data were collected on the demographics of the students and also on their rating on the importance of 12 factors for their influence in them choosing physiotherapy as a career.Three factors, which were, “the results I obtained at ‘A’Level” (68%), “job availability”(67%) and “desire to help others”(60%), were rated by more than 60% of the students as factors that had been “very important” in their decision to pursue physiotherapy as a career. Two factors, “I always wanted to be a physiotherapist” and “I worked with or received treatment from a physiotherapist”, were the only factors, which were rated by more than 70% of the students as no important in the students’ decision. Using the paired t-test, no significant statistical differences were found between male and female students, in their rating of importance of all twelve factors, (p-value=0.01).

Pasien dengan alat ortodonti cekat memiliki peningkatan resiko akumulasi plak karena meningkatnya kesulitan untuk menghilangkan plak. Akumulasi plak dapat dicegah dengan pelaksanaan kontrol plak, upaya tersebut bisa secara mekanis maupun kimiawi. Penggunaan obat kumur bahan alami memiliki kelebihan karena efek terapeutik dari bahan alamai bersifat konstruktif, efek samping yang ditimbulkan sangat kecil sehingga bahan alami relatif aman dari pada bahan kimiawi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan skor plak sebelum dan sesudah berkumur dengan seduhan daun sirih merah ( Piper crocatum ) pada mahasiswa pemakai piranti ortodonti cekat di FKG Universitas Baiturrahmah angkatan 2011. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah cross sectional design . Populasi penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa FKG Universitas Baiturrahmah angkatan 2011 yang memakai piranti ortodonti cekat pada rahang atas dan rahang bawah dengan jumlah mahasiswa sebanyak 23 orang. Teknik pengambilan sampel adalah total sampling. Analisis yang digunakan adalah Paired T-Test. Hasil penelitian diketahui rata-rata indeks plak sebelum (37,4) lebih tinggi dari pada sesudah berkumur dengan seduhan sirih merah (Piper Crocatum)(22,7). Hasil uji Paired T-Test diketahui bahwa nilai p value = 0,000 < 0,05, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan skor plak sebelum dan sesudah berkumur dengan seduhan daun sirih merah konsentrasi 50% pada pemakai piranti ortodonti cekat di FKG Universitas Baiturrahmah angkatan 2011.

Banyak wanita yang mengalami gangguan pada menstruasinya, diantaranya adalah nyeri haid atau sering disebut dismenore. Prevalensi kejadian dismenore pada remaja wanita diperkirakan antara 20-90% dan sekitar 15% remaja dilaporkan mengalami dismenore berat. Dismenore berat ini menyebabkan mereka tidak mampu untuk melakukan kegiatan apapun serta mempengaruhi kinerja akademik mahasiswi. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh mahasiswi angkatan 2017 dan 2018 yaitu sebanyak 135 orang mahasiswi. Sampel berjumlah 100 orang mahasiswi. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan purposive sampling. Dianalisa secara univariat dan bivariat dengan uji chi square. Dari hasil uji bivariat menunjukan bahwa ada hubungan antara dismenore dengan kinerja akademik mahasiswi STIKes Murni Teguh (p value 0,01) dengan OR sebesar 4,38 yang berarti bahwa mahasiswi yang tidak mengalami dismenore perkiraan peluangnya 4,38 kali memiliki kinerja akademik yang sangat memuaskan dibandingkan dengan mahasiswi yang mengalami dismenore. Disarankan agar STIKes Murni Teguh dapat mengaktifkan kegiatan olahraga rutin sebagai bentuk kegiatan kemahasiswaan bagi seluruh mahasiswi terutama mahasiswi yang mengalami dismenore mulai dari olahraga dengan gerakan fisik yang sederhana maupun olahraga aerobik yang dapat mengurangi nyeri haid yang dapat mengganggu aktifitas belajar mahasiswi.   Many women experience menstrual disorders, including menstrual pain or often called dysmenorrhea. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in young women is estimated to be between 20-90% and around 15% of adolescents reported severe dysmenorrhea. This severe dysmenorrhea causes them to be unable to carry out any activities and influence the academic performance of female students. This type of research is descriptive analytic with cross sectional design. The population in this study were all female students of 2017 and 2018 namely 135 female students. The sample amounted to 100 female students. Sampling is done using purposive sampling. Analyzed by univariate and bivariate with chi square test.The results of the bivariate test showed that there was a relationship between dysmenorrhea and the academic performance of Murni Teguh STIKes students (p value 0.01) with an OR of 4.38 which means that students who did not experience dysmenorrhea estimated their chances of 4.38 times having very satisfying academic performance compared to female students who experience dysmenorrhea. It is recommended that Murni Teguh STIKes be able to activate regular sports activities as a form of student activities for all female students, especially female students who experience dysmenorrhea, from simple physical movements and aerobic exercise that can reduce menstrual pain which can interfere with the student's learning activities.
