According to the 2018 National Basic Health Research (Riset Kesehatan Dasar: Riskesdas) data, schizophrenia remains a challenge in Indonesia, and West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) ranking third after Bali and the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). The impact of schizophrenia on patients' quality of life is significant, particularly regarding the support provided by healthcare professionals, especially during inpatient care. This study explored the correlation between healthcare professionals' support and the quality of life of inpatient schizophrenic patients at RSJ (Rumah Sakit Jiwa: Mental Health Hospital) Mutiara Sukma, NTB. Validated and reliable questionnaires were used for data collection using an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach.

Anxiety is an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by health workers so that it affects work motivation. The study aims to determine the relationship between anxiety and the work motivation of health workers at the Ampenan Health Center during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method :This study is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional design. This study used the HAM-A questionnaire to measure anxiety. Measurement of work motivation was carried out using the MWMS questionnaire. The research sample is 69 respondents. Data analysis using Chi-Square. Result: The results showed that 34.8% of respondents experienced anxiety and 65.2% who were not anxious. Chi-Square analysis obtained a p-value of 0.001 (p-value <0.05), which means that there is a significant relationship between anxiety and the work motivation of health workers at the Ampenan Health Center during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: There is a ...

Besides that, most students will use smartphones as a diversion of boredom which makes students use smartphones outside of academics with high intensity so that it has a negative effect, both from disrupting concentration, sleep quality to interfering with their quality of life. Research objectives to find out the relationship between the intensity of smartphone use and the quality of life of students of the Al-Azhar Islamic University Faculty of Medicine class of 2019. Research method observational analytic research with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The research was conducted at the Al-Azhar Islamic University Medical Faculty on January 21, 2023. The research sample was 81 respondents. The data obtained were analyzed using the c...

Factors that cause hypertension are poor lifestyle habits and unhealthy eating patterns. The diet that is commonly consumed by the elderly is often consuming foods that are high in salt, often using flavoring and coconut milk when cooking, often consuming fried foods as a snack and consuming eggs. Hypertension can also be caused by stress factors. One age that is vulnerable to stress is the elderly. This is caused by self-adjustment to the changing conditions experienced when entering old age. Setting a good diet and stress management will play a role in reducing hypertension in the elderly. Keywords: Diet, Stress Level, Hypertension, Elderly. ABSTRAK Hipertensi merupakan salah satu masalah yang cukup dominan di dunia, baik di negara maju maupaun negara-negara berkembang. Faktor penyebab hipertensi adalah kebiasaan pola hidup yang kurang baik dan pola makan yang kur...

Immunoglobulins from 16 patients with myasthenia gravis were injected into mice daily for one to 14 days. Typical myasthenic features of reduction in amplitude of miniature end-plate potentials (mean change more than 50 per cent, P less than 0.005) or reduction in acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junctions (mean change more than 50 per cent, P less than 0.005) (or both) were produced by immunoglobulin from 15 of the 16 patients. Some mice showed weakness or decremental responses to repetitive nerve stimulation as well. The active fraction was identified as IgG by three different purification methods. Its effect was enhanced by the third component (C3) of the complement system, but the fifth component (C5) had no effect. These data suggest that the pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis often involves and antibody-mediated autoimmune attack on the acetylcholine receptors of the neuromuscular junction.
