Tongue tie cases at the Columbia Asia Surgical Hospital in Semarang in the last two years have experienced an increase, where in 2021 there were 438 cases and in 2022 there were 447 cases. Tongue tie babies have a poor breastfeeding mechanism, this is caused by limited tongue movement, so tongue tie babies cannot attach properly when breastfeeding. These conditions result in the maximum intake of breast milk not being obtained and the mother feeling uncomfortable due to sore nipples which can cause premature cessation of breastfeeding. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of frenectomy in tongue tie babies with breastfeeding ability. This research is a type of quasi-experimental research with a one group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study were tongue-tie babies without complications who were still being hospitalized at the Columbia Asia Surgical Hospital in Semarang. Using a purposive sampling technique, a sample of 30 babies was obtained. The instruments used in this study were LATCH and ATLFF scores. Data analysis was performed using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. The results of the study showed that the Frenectomy procedure was effective in increasing the ability to suckle in tongue tie babies, the Wilcoxon test results were obtained (pvalue 0.000 <0.05), where all (100%) tongue tie babies experienced an increase in the ability to suckle after a frenectomy. The action of a frenectomy is effective in increasing the ability to suckle, this can be due to the fact that with a frenectomy the mobility of the tongue increases, so that the baby can latch on properly, can swallow milk well, the mother feels comfortable while breastfeeding because the nipples are not painful.

Introduction: 3-month injection KB (Depo Progestin) is a contraceptive method that can be used effectively and has good working power for mothers. The use of 3-month injectable birth control aims to delay or prevent pregnancy, space pregnancies, and terminate pregnancies. Mother's knowledge plays an important role in choosing birth control; the more knowledge the mother has, the more influential she is in choosing injectable contraceptives. Based on Indonesia's profile data in 2019, there was an increase in contraceptive use in women, namely 50% to 64% in the 1991–2017 period, but in 2019 it decreased to 62.5%. The most dominant contraceptive method used in 2019 was the injection contraceptive method as much as 63.7% (Central Statistics Agency data) and based on health profile data for Central Java province in 2021, there is an increase in the use of injectable birth control among married women aged 15–49 years, namely 57.68%. Objective: This study aims to determine the determinants of mother's knowledge on the accuracy of choosing 3-month injectable birth control (Progestin Depo) in the working area of ??the Pringapus Health Center. Metodes: This research method uses a cross-sectional research method and a purposive sampling approach. The sample used in this study was 92 respondents, and the location of this research was in the working area of the Pringapus Health. Results: Based on data analysis the result is that mothers with good knowledge are 53 (57.7%) respondents, and the accuracy in choosing the answer "Yes" (correct) is 83 (90.2%) of respondents. Then the results obtained have a p-value of 0.002 < 0.05, so it can be concluded that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is a relationship between the mother's knowledge and the accuracy of choosing 3-month injectable birth control (Progestin Depo) in the working area of the Pringapus Health Center.

The older adults get, the greater the risk of someone getting gout. It is caused by a decrease in hormone levels when the hormone oestrogen decreases in the body; there is only a tiny amount of the hormone oestrogen, which helps remove uric acid through the urine and can cause the disposal of uric acid to become uncontrolled, resulting in a buildup of degenerative diseases, one of which is gout. One of the non-pharmacological actions that can be used to reduce uric acid levels is by giving soursop leaf boiled water. This study aims to determine the effect of soursop leaf-boiled water on reducing uric acid levels in the elderly before and after the intervention. This research method used quasi-pre- and post-testing in the intervention group. The sampling technique used was random sampling of 65 respondents using an observation sheet with SOP for soursop leaf stew. The analysis showed that the average uric acid level before giving soursop leaf decoction was 42.2%, with high uric acid levels. While the average high uric acid level after administration of soursop leaf-boiled water is 12.3% with moderate uric acid levels and as much as 87.7% with average or low uric acid levels, The results of the marginal homogeneity test obtained a P value of 0.001 (<0.05), meaning that there was a significant difference in mean between the pretest and post-test, which affected giving soursop leaf boiled water to reduce uric acid levels in the elderly—suggestions for health services to provide facilities to health service workers so they can apply traditional medicine.

Penyandang stroke yang menjalani perawatan dalam kondisi tirah baring yang terlalu lama dapat menyebabkan nyeri tekan sehingga sangat beresiko terjadinya dekubitus. Hal ini dikarenakan ketidakmampuan pasien merawat dirinya sendiri atau setidaknya berupaya untuk mengubah posisi tidur sehingga tidak terjadi penekanan pada daerah yang sama dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Oleh karena itu keluarga berperan dalam pencegahan terjadinya dekubitus pada pasien yang mengalami kelemahan fisik dalam kasus stroke. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan keluarga dengan resiko kejadian dekubitus pada pasien stroke. Rancangan penelitian ini adalah studi korelatif. Populasinya adalah pasien stroke yang mengalami tirah baring dengan jumlah populasi 40 orang. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah total sampling dengan jumlah 40 responden. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa pengetahuan responden terbanyak adalah baik yaitu sebanyak 72,5%. Resiko dekubitus pada responden adalah resiko rendah yaitu sebanyak 45,0%. Ada hubungan antara pengetahuan keluarga tentang dekubitus dengan resiko dekubitus dengan nilai p value 0,002. Oleh karena itu disarankan kepada masyarakat sebaiknya mengetahui dan memahami secara benar tentang dekubitus agar mengetahui cara perawatan dan pencegahan dekubitus untuk memberikan perawatan dengan baik pada keluarga yang beresiko dekubitus.
