Arianto Arianto — 2025-09-30

Background: Dental caries is the destruction of tooth tissue that begins at the surface and can progress to the pulp (Nurhidayanti, 2020). According to the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the most common dental problem in Indonesia is decayed/damaged/aching teeth (45.3%), with an average DMF-T index of 1.9 for permanent teeth. Caries experience frequently occurs among elementary school children, particularly when dental care habits are poor. Brain health plays a vital role in children’s learning abilities, especially in fifth grade, when brain development accelerates and affects cognitive functions such as concentration. A study by Kusmana and Restuningsih (2020) showed a relationship between the DMF-T index and students’ academic performance.This study aims to describe brain health and def-t (decayed, extracted, and filled teeth in primary teeth) among early childhood children in Pekon Wonodadi, Pringsewu.

Method: This research used a descriptive survey method. The population included all early childhood children using total sampling, with data collected through questionnaires and def-t examination forms..

Results: The study found that the majority of parents were adults (83%), and 65% of them were housewives. Good brain health was observed in 74.7% of the children, while a high prevalence of dental caries (def-t) was found in 80.6% of them.

Conclusion: This study can help identify early childhood children who are at high risk of brain health issues and dental caries, supporting early intervention efforts.

The The effect of health education on first aid for drowning victims on lifeguard knowledge in swimming pools in Jambi City

Andi Subandi — 2025-09-30

Background: Drowning is defined as death caused by asphyxia due to immersion in water that occurs within 24 hours of the incident. Immediate and appropriate first aid is essential to increase the chances of survival. Lifeguards, as the front line in aquatic emergencies, must have adequate knowledge and skills in performing first aid for drowning victims. Health education is one of the efforts to improve lifeguards' understanding and ability to act promptly and correctly in such critical situations.

Method: This study employed a pre-experimental research design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 33 lifeguards from three different swimming pools in Jambi City were selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measuring the level of knowledge regarding first aid for drowning victims before and after the health education intervention. To determine the significance of the changes in knowledge, data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Results: The results of the bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a Z value of -5.205 with a significance level of 0.001 (p < 0.05). These findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in lifeguards’ knowledge after receiving health education. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted.

Conclusion: Health education has a significant positive effect on increasing lifeguard knowledge regarding first aid for drowning victims in Jambi City swimming pools. These results emphasize the importance of continuous education and training programs to enhance the readiness and effectiveness of lifeguards in responding to drowning emergencies.

Overview of the level of knowledge and attitudes of the community towards first aid for victims of traffic accidents on the Palembang-Jambi Crossing Road, Bayung Lencir

Andi Subandi — 2025-09-30

Background: First aid is a crucial initial step in the event of an accident, serving to minimize the severity of trauma and facilitate subsequent medical treatment. A prompt and appropriate response can significantly influence the survival and recovery outcomes of accident victims. To foster such responsiveness, community involvement and awareness are essential. Community members, as first responders at the scene, play a critical role in administering immediate aid. However, their effectiveness is heavily influenced by their knowledge and attitudes toward first aid. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes of the community regarding first aid for traffic accident victims along the Palembang–Jambi route, specifically in the Bayung Lencir area.

Method: This research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design using a cross-sectional method. The study was conducted in Bayung Lencir District, Musi Banyuasin Regency from June 19, 2024, to July 16, 2024. The sample consisted of 408 respondents, selected using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing the respondents' knowledge and attitudes toward first aid in traffic accidents.

Results: Out of 408 respondents, the majority had a sufficient level of knowledge, with 247 respondents (60.5%). Those categorized as having good knowledge were 88 respondents (21.6%), while 73 respondents (17.9%) had poor knowledge. Regarding attitude, most respondents demonstrated a positive attitude, totaling 332 individuals (81.4%), whereas 76 respondents (18.6%) exhibited a negative attitude toward providing first aid in traffic accident situations.

Conclusion: This study reveals that the overall community knowledge and attitude toward first aid in traffic accidents along the Palembang–Jambi Bayung Lencir road fall within the sufficient category. Nevertheless, a notable portion of the population still lacks adequate understanding and confidence in properly administering first aid. These findings highlight the need for targeted community education programs and practical first aid training to ensure a more prepared and responsive public in emergency traffic accident situations.
