Abstract : Musculoskeletal disorders are still experienced in various activities that involve the use of electronic devices, especially in school students. If not controlled properly, it can reduce student achievement. This study aims to determine the factors associated with musculoskeletal Disorders in offline and online learning activities. The research population is all students who take lectures both online and offline. A cross sectional survey was executed among 175 students who were willing to be involved in the research. The instrument used to measure musculoskeletal Disorders uses the Nordic Body Map (NBM). The statistical test used was chi square test. Respondents who experienced musculoskeletal disorders were 94.3%. Most of the respondents aged ≤ 30 years as much as 95.4% with female sex as much as 79.4%. The position when participating in learning was mostly sitting in chairs, both in classroom chairs and at home as much as 76.0% and devices that used more than one device, as much as 92.0%. Average length of learning time per day is more than 4 hours per day. During learning, 58.3% made efforts to stretch the muscles, with 92.0% stretching for ≤ 5 minutes. In the last 3 months, 16.0% used anti-pain drugs. The results showed that stretching activity and time of learning were associated with perceived musculoskeletal disorders, but contrary stretching and duration of learning were not related. Stretching needs during learning activity to reduce musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract : Effectiveness of family psychoeducational therapy on increasing family abilities in foot care in diabetic neuropathy patients in the Palu City area. The design used in this study used the Pre-Experimental One Group Pretest-Postest design. The population in this study were DM patients who visited the Kawatuna Health Center in Palu City from June to September 2021, with a total sample of 30 people obtained based on a purposive sampling technique. The analysis of this study using The Paired Samples Test was carried out with the help of computer software with the application of the SPSS statistical program. The results of this study indicate that after treatment for one month, the effectiveness showed changes in the second week of the foot care intervention with the mean respondent (64.24) and a decrease in the degree of diabetic neuropathy in the intervention group. Respondents stated that they experienced an increase in foot sensation with the result that 56.7% of respondents stated mild neuropathy, and as many as 40% experienced moderate degree of neuropathy. The majority of respondents were in the age group > 65 years, namely 36.7%, with a distribution based on the length of time they had DM, namely 5-7 years. The results of the study statistically showed that the family's ability to care for the feet of the respondents had a fairly strong correlation (0.594). Implementation of family psychoeducation for respondents was effective in helping respondents obtain appropriate information in dealing with physical conditions related to chronic illness experienced by 56.7% of respondents.

Abstract : Ankle and foot pain can be a challenging clinical diagnosis, notably in patients with vague and chronic pain. Thus, imaging modalities are used. Currently, magnetic resonance is the most reliable method for physicians. However, ultrasound is now widely thought to help evaluate tendon, muscle, bursa, and other soft tissue abnormalities. Particularly early and small inflammatory and structural changes. Therefore, this paper seeks to assess the agreement between ultrasound and MRI in evaluating different soft tissue disorders that cause ankle and foot pain and the efficacy of ultrasound compared to MRI. The current study illustrated that as regards the different diagnoses overall, there is almost perfect agreement between US and MRI in the detection of soft tissue disorders (K coefficient of 0.850) and that US showed high sensitivity and specificity, being of 95% and 90%, respectively. The US has proven to be an effective, excellent cost-benefit imaging technique in diagnosing ankle and foot soft tissue disorders with a spatial resolution showing almost perfect agreement with MRI and diagnostic accuracy almost equal to it. Hence US should be used more frequently before MRI when soft tissue injury is suspected, or at the very least as a complementary study when MRI cannot explain the cause of ankle and foot pain.

Abstract : Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is a global problem. According to WHO, syphilis is still high, reaching 5.6 million cases of syphilis worldwide in adolescents and adults (age 15-49 years). WHO estimates that every year there are approximately 350 million new sufferers of STIs in developing countries, including Indonesia; the prevalence of syphilis occupies the second place of all types of STIs, namely syphilis by (21.7%). This study aims to look at the magnitude of job risks, knowledge, attitudes, sexual behavior, economic status, access to health services, and beliefs about the incidence of syphilis. The research method used is analytic observational using a case-control study design. The population in this study were all patients with syphilis in RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo and at the Rehabilitation Service Center for the Mattirodeceng Social Service, South Sulawesi Province. The research sample was 150 respondents, namely 50 syphilis case respondents and 100 control respondents. The sampling technique uses non-probability sampling with the Purposive Sampling method. Data were analyzed using SPSS with Odds Ratio (OR), chi-square, and multiple logistic regression tests. The results showed that the variables that were risk factors for syphilis were occupation (OR=76,000) with (CI=95%, LL=24,421, and UL=236,521), knowledge (OR=10,945) with (CI=95%, LL= 4,537 and UL=26,445), attitude (OR=2,452) with (CI=95%, LL=1,099, and UL=5,467), sexual behavior (OR=147,429) with (CI=95%, LL=40,989, and UL=530,267), economic status (OR=19,581) with (CI=95%, LL=6,522, and UL=58,789), access to health services (OR=5,310) with (CI=95%, LL=2,329, and UL=12,107), trust (OR=0.334) with (CI=95%, LL=0.128, and UL=0.869). The logistic regression test shows that the variable that works is the most at risk for syphilis, with a risk of occurrence of 110,418 times. Health workers can collaborate with social services to provide information on reproductive health on an ongoing basis, as well as education about safe sex behavior for sex workers.

Abstract : The implementation of Jumantik 1 House 1 Movement (G1R1J) is one of the DHF transmission prevention programs that involves the active role of the community, especially family members, to eradicate mosquito nests both inside and outside the home. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of G1R1J's knowledge and actions on larval density before and after the intervention. The research design was quasi-experimental with Non-Randomized One Group Pretest-Posttest with Control, namely the experimental group that received treatment and the control group as a comparison. The results showed that the results of data analysis using the Friedman Test obtained: Asymp value. Sig of 0.000. If the Asymp. Sig. <0.05, there is a decrease in the value of larval density in each observation before and after the G1R1J socialization intervention. The influence of knowledge and actions of G1R1J on larval density using the Chi-square test obtained a Sig value of 0.000. If the Sig value < 0.05 then there is an effect of the knowledge and actions of the respondents about G1R1J on the density of the larvae. Suggestions for assistance to the community need to be carried out periodically so that PSN activities are routinely carried out.
