Increasing The Incident Rate Of Primary Headache Resulting From Poor Sleep Quality In Nusa Cendana University Faculty Of Medicine Students Year 2020

Destrini Anjani Landa — 2023-12-12

Abstract

Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) about 90% of the world’s adult population experience headache at least once a year. Globally, it is estimated that headache prevalence in adults is around 50-75% for the age range of 18-65 years old. One of the risk factors for headache is sleep disturbance. The frequency, intensity, and onset of headaches have a significant association with the incidence of sleep disturbances, including nightmares, difficulty falling asleep, waking up too early, and poor sleep quality. These sleep disturbances are caused by changes in neurotransmitters such as serotonin and melatonin that disrupt the circadian rhythm. The Medical Faculty student group is relatively prone to having poor sleep quality. This can be caused by the high duration and intensity of learning, doing tasks that require extra energy and concentration.

Objective: To determine the relationship between sleep quality and the incidence of primary headache in students of the Faculty of Medicine, the University of Nusa Cendana in 2020.

Methods: This study was an observational analytic study that employed a cross-sectional design conducted on preclinical students of the Faculty of Medicine, the University of Nusa Cendana using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and the primary headache questionnaire. The sampling technique used stratified random sampling with a total of 74 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was analyzed by univariate, bivariate using the chi-square test.

Results: From 74 respondents, it was found that 54 respondents (73%) had poor sleep quality and 20 respondents (27%) had good sleep quality. From 74 respondents, 51 respondents (68.9%) also had a primary headache and 23 respondents (31.1%) did not have a primary headache. The results of the bivariate analysis test in this study obtained p = 0.007 (p <0.05) and the RR (Relatif Risk) value for poor sleep quality on headache is 2.475 or 2 times (RR> 1) which means that the variable studied is a risk factor.

Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between sleep quality and the incidence of primary headaches in students of the Faculty of Medicine, the University of Nusa Cendana in 2020.

OVERVIEW OF MEDICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE WAIBAKUL REGIONAL PUBLIC HOSPITAL, CENTRAL SUMBA DISTRICT

Ananda Florenza Rambu Lika Enga — 2023-12-12

Hospitals are public service delivery organizations that have responsibility for every health service, including preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative services. Hospital activities last 24 hours and involve various activities of many people so that they have the potential to produce large amounts of waste. This research aims to determine the Management of Medical Solid Waste Management at the Waibakul Regional General Hospital, Central Sumba Regency in 2023. This type of research is descriptive research with a survey method. The sample size is 10 people who are directly responsible for the process of managing medical solid waste in hospitals. The variables studied are management people/staff, funds, facilities, and infrastructure as well as medical solid waste management methods. The results of the research show that the existing medical solid waste management people are not sufficient in terms of quality, namely inadequate educational status, lack of knowledge/experience lack of training, and insufficient in terms of quantity, namely insufficient incinerator personnel. The source of funds (money) in managing medical solid waste in hospitals is considered insufficient so the procurement of facilities and infrastructure to support medical solid waste processing, operational costs, and costs for repairing infrastructure are still insufficient so that the management of medical solid waste in hospitals is less than optimal. Existing facilities and infrastructure (machines) cannot yet adapt to all the waste produced by hospitals and do not meet the requirements. The method for managing medical solid waste in hospitals has gone through a waste management process by the standards of the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Health Regulation No. 7 of 2019 concerning Hospital Environmental Health which starts from the process of sorting, containing, transporting, storing, and processing or destroying medical solid waste.
