COMPARISON OF GLUCOSE LEVELS IN DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTSNa BEFORE AND AFTER CONSUMING KERSEN LEAVES (Muntingia calabura) AT BOROKO PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER

Gerin Cahyani Van Solang — 2025-09-24

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by increased blood glucose levels. Diabetes mellitus can be treated through medical or herbal means. One herbal plant that can lower blood glucose levels is the leaves of the cherry tree. This study aims to determine the difference in blood glucose levels before and after consuming a decoction of cherry leaves (Muntingia calabura) in patients with diabetes mellitus. This research uses a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consists of 30 people selected using purposive sampling technique. Blood glucose levels were measured using the POCT method before and after a 7-day intervention. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test showed that the data were not normally distributed, so the analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Sign-Rank test. The results show a decrease in blood glucose levels after the intervention, with a p-value < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between glucose levels before and after consuming cherry leaves. Conclusion: The infusion of cherry leaves has the potential to be an alternative for lowering blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus

DIFFERENCES IN BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE USUALLY CONSUMING WARM RICE AND COLD RICE IN DEMBE JAYA VILLAGE, NORTH KOTA DISTRICT, GORONTALO CITY

Magfirah Usman — 2025-09-24

Freshly cooked, warm rice has a higher carbohydrate content than cold rice, as the glycemic index of cold rice tends to be lower. Therefore, consuming cold rice does not immediately increase blood sugar levels. Glucose in food is a simple carbohydrate from the monosaccharide group obtained from the hydrolysis of starch. Several factors influence the carbohydrate and glucose content of rice, including the type of rice, processing method, and storage method. This research approach was quantitative, with a cross-sectional design and comparative quantitative approach. A sample size of 30 was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Blood glucose testing used a POCT (Point of Care Testing) device. Based on the results of the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, the blood glucose levels in the group consuming warm rice had a significance value of <0.001 (<0.05), indicating a non-normal distribution. Meanwhile, in the group consuming cold rice, the significance value was 0.223 (>0.05), indicating a normal distribution. The Mann-Whitney U test, conducted to determine the difference in blood glucose levels between individuals consuming warm and cold rice, yielded a significance value of 0.001 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between blood glucose levels in individuals consuming warm and cold rice. This means that hypothesis Ha is accepted and hypothesis H0 is rejected.

EFFECTIVENESS OF ANTI-BACTERIAL EXTRACT FROM KULIT JERUK NIPIS (Citrus aurantiifolia) IN REDUCING THE NUMBER OF Escherichia coli BACTERIA ON PLATES

Juwita Suma — 2025-09-24

Bacterial contamination of Escherichia coli on eating utensils, especially plates, is a serious health challenge, particularly in areas with low hygiene standards. The use of natural ingredients such as lime peel extract (Citrus aurantiifolia) as an antibacterial agent can be an environmentally friendly solution. This study aims to test the effectiveness of lime peel extract in reducing the number of Escherichia coli bacteria on plates. The study was conducted using an experimental method with a Static Group Comparison design. Plate samples were obtained from a restaurant in West Kota District. A total of 18 plate swab samples were taken and tested at the Gorontalo Ministry of Health Polytechnic Microbiology Laboratory. The samples were divided into three groups: 6 samples without treatment, 6 samples with 5% extract concentration, and 6 samples with 7% concentration treatment. The results showed that the average number of E. coli bacteria on untreated plates was 11.24 CFU/cm². After treatment with a 5% concentration, this number decreased to 1.08 CFU/cm² (90.43%). At a concentration of 7%, the E. coli count decreased significantly to 0.15 CFU/cm² (98.66%). Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the control and treatment groups (p-value < 0.05), with the highest effectiveness at a concentration of 7%. In conclusion, lime peel extract is effective as a natural antibacterial agent, especially at a concentration of 7% with a reduction rate of up to 98.66%, and has the potential to be used as an environmentally friendly solution for maintaining the cleanliness of eating utensils.

COMPARISON OF TRIGLYCERIDE LEVELS BETWEEN SERUM STORED AT -20°C AND SERUM AT 25°C FOR 2 DAYS AT TOTO KABILA REGIONAL GENERAL HOSPITAL

Regita Cahyani Papeo — 2025-09-24

The pre-analytical phase carries a relatively high risk of error, accounting for 50%-75% of total laboratory errors, including those related to sample storage. In triglyceride testing, storage conditions are crucial as they can affect serum stability . This study compares triglyceride levels between serum samples stored at -20°C and those stored at 25°C for two days at Toto Kabila Regional General Hospital. The study employed a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design, using 16 serum samples from hospital patients. Data were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-test. The results showed that the average triglyceride level in serum stored at -20°C was 131.83 mg/dL, while in serum stored at 25°C it was 188.48 mg/dL. The Independent Sample T-test yielded a significance value of 0.023 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two storage temperatures. These findings confirm that storage temperature affects triglyceride stability, therefore, maintaining the validity and reliability of low-temperature storage is recommended to maintain the laboratory test results.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIETARY PATTERNS AND HEMOGLOBIN LEVELS IN ADOLESCENT FEMALES AT SMKS BINA MANDIRI BONE BOLANGO

Sintia Hanapi — 2025-09-23

Adolescent health efforts are aimed not only at adolescents but also at parents and caregivers to support them in raising healthy adolescents. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between dietary patterns and hemoglobin levels in female adolescents at SMK Bina Mandiri Bone Bolango. The approach used in this study is quantitative. This study examines the correlation between dietary patterns and hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. The results of this study indicate that, based on univariate analysis, the majority of respondents have an ideal nutritional status and adequate intake of energy, protein, and fat. However, many respondents still lack sufficient intake of carbohydrates, vitamin A, and vitamin C, indicating an imbalance in the quality of their daily food intake. The results of the bivariate analysis indicate that only carbohydrate and vitamin C intake are significantly associated with hemoglobin levels. The better the intake of these two nutrients, the higher the respondents' hemoglobin levels tend to be. Meanwhile, other variables such as age, BMI/U, energy, protein, fat, and vitamin A did not show a significant relationship with hemoglobin. This finding suggests that specific macronutrients and vitamin C play a more dominant role in supporting hemoglobin levels in adolescents than other nutritional variables.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES IN THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN ISPA PATIENTS IN MOTOLOHU VILLAGE, RANDANGAN DISTRICT, POHUWATO REGENCY

Tika Amelia — 2025-09-24

This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes in the use of antibiotics in patients with ISPA in Motolohu Village, Randangan District, Pohuwato Regency. This study uses an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample amounted to 21 respondents with ISPA who were selected in total sampling. Primary data was collected through questionnaires that assessed knowledge and attitudes, while secondary data was obtained from relevant health agencies. Data analysis was conducted using Fisher's exact Test. Most of the respondents had a high level of knowledge (52.4%), but the attitude of antibiotic use was dominated by the poor category (61.9%). All respondents used amoxicillin (100%) antibiotics. The results of Fisher's exact Test showed a value of p = 0.183 (p > 0.05), which means that there was no significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes of people with ispa. A high level of knowledge about drugs is not always directly proportional to the rational attitude in the correct use of antibiotics.
