Reproductive health education and early sexual behavior prevention assistance for Madrasah Aliyah students in Bandung Widiyastuti, Ermina; Damayanti, Meta Maulida; Nur, Ismet Muchtar; Siddiq, Tita Barriah; Budiarti, Indri; Prasetia, Ayu Health reproduction knowledge is a crucial factor in preventing acts of early sexual behavior. Early sexual behavior is reflected in many ways, from attraction to different sexes to building a relationship and making physical contact. Adequate knowledge of sexuality in teenagers especially in health reproduction would prevent teenagers from acting in early sexual behavior. This activity aims to increase knowledge about the health of reproductive organs and the prevention of early sexual intercourse among Madrasah Aliyah students. The method used is education regarding the health of reproductive organs, pre-marital sexual psychology, and social jurisprudence approaches. All material is presented interestingly and interactively. This activity found that 63 percent of the participants had previous knowledge of this topic. More than 50 percent of respondents were students, and students had quite good knowledge about reproductive health. Madrasah Aliyah students already have sufficient knowledge about reproductive health, but it has not yet been seen whether it is enough to prevent students from premature sexual behavior. However, we do not have any data regarding the act of early sexual behavior among respondents or how knowledge in health reproduction would relate to the act of early sexual behavior.

Clove Extract and Grape Seed Oil Nanoemulsion for Oral Diseases Therapy Hartati, Julia; Damayanti, Meta Maulida; Nur, Ismet Muchtar; Furqaani, Annisa Rahmah; Sari, Ajeng Kartika; Rachmawati, Meike; Siddiq, Tita Barriah; Fakih, Taufik Muhammad; Radina, Faqih The growth of micro-organisms that acquire resistance to most commercially available antibiotics is occurring rapidly. Consequently, a pressing necessity exists to identify and detect new antimicrobial substances. This study aimed to analyze the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of nanoemulsion clove extract and grape seed oil. This research was conducted in June 2023 using experimental methods at the Research Laboratory of the Universitas Islam Bandung Pharmaceutical Study Program by developing a nanoemulsion preparation containing clove extract (Syzygium aromaticum L.) and grape seed oil (Vitis vinifera L.). Antioxidant activity was tested using the 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Antibacterial activity was tested using the agar diffusion method by measuring the growth inhibitory diameter of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans bacteria and divided into four groups formulas based on the addition of clove extract with different concentrations in the nanoemulsion base (FA=0.25%, FB=0.5%, FC=0.75%, and FD=1%) to see the best results. The result shows nanoemulsion preparations have antioxidant properties in the DPPH test. The FA formula has the highest IC50, namely 1,117.56 ppm. The antibacterial activity of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans has an inhibition zone, although it is still in the category of inhibiting bacterial growth, but does not kill growth. The nanoemulsion formulation, comprising clove extract and grape seed oil, has exhibited exceptional antioxidant properties and substantial antimicrobial efficacy against prevalent oral bacterial strains

Massage therapy training for daycare caregivers to stimulate children’s mental health in Dago Area Damayanti, Meta Maulida; Kharisma, Yuktiana; Prasetia, Ayu; Widiyastuti, Ermina; Rachmawati, Meike; Nur, Ismet Muchtar; Hassan, Abdul Hadi Massage therapy has been shown to be highly effective in preventing premature birth, encouraging infant growth, increasing attention, reducing depression and aggression, treating motor problems, and reducing discomfort. Daycare is a partner institution for parents in childcare that synergizes in observing the growth and development of children’s mental health. This community service program aims to increase knowledge about children’s mental health, and training and mentoring regarding relaxing massage for children. This service activity plan consists of the preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The methods to be carried out vary from giving interactive materials, demonstrations, discussions, and practice. This activity was attended by 24 caregivers, 2 presenters, and 6 community service teams. This program was attended by caregivers aged between 22-50 years, with most of them being married, the highest education level being high school (75%), and the most work experience under 3 years (67%). Based on the results of the evaluation, all participants benefited from the knowledge training on child mental development and the application of baby massage in carrying out their daily duties as caregivers at daycare centers. Training childcare practitioners’ mentalization and helping them achieve attitude-based mentalization is effective in helping them better understand child development.

Relationship Between Sociodemographic Characteristics, Knowledge, and Behaviours to Prevent COVID-19 Among Students of Manarul Huda Islamic Boarding School Makaginsar, Caecielia; Damayanti, Meta Maulida; Y, Yuniarti; Irasanti, Siska Nia Good knowledge and behaviours are crucial to prevent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) transmission in boarding school communities during the pandemic. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, and behaviours to prevent COVID-19 among students in an Islamic boarding school. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in March 2021 at the Manarul Huda Islamic Boarding School on 39 students who met the inclusion criteria. Sampling was employed using the total sampling technique. Variables analysed were students’ age, education level, knowledge, and behaviour on COVID-19 prevention as measured using a closed questionnaire. Data were then analysed univariately using frequency distribution and bivariate using the Chi-Square (χ2) and Fisher’s Exact test. Results were considered significant if the p-value was < 0.05. Results:No significant relationships were found between age and knowledge of COVID-19 (p = 0.97); education level and knowledge of COVID-19 (p =0.619); age and behaviours to prevent COVID-19 transmission (p = 0.136); and education level and behaviours to prevent COVID-19 transmission (p = 0.399) among of the Islamic boarding school students. In contrast, knowledge was significantly (p = 0.035) linked with behaviours to prevent COVID-19 transmission among students. Conclusion: There is a relationship between knowledge and behaviours in preventing COVID-19 among students. However, no relationship was found between demographic characteristics of age and educational level and knowledge and behaviours to prevent COVID-19 in our study participants.
