Diet Penyakit Maag

kita sering mendengar penyakit maag, salah satu penyakit yang menyerang saluran pencernaan. Maag apabila tidak ditangani dengan benar akan berdampak seerius. Salah satu upaya mengendalikan penyakit ini adalah dengan melakukan Diet Penyakit Maag.

Maag dan penyebabnya

Dalam istilah kedokteran, penyakit maag disebut gastritis atau peradangan lambung. Untuk gejala yang lebih ringan sering disebut dengan dyspepsia. Gejala dari penyakit ini adalah adanya keluhan rasa mual di ulu hati, kembung, dan rasa lain yang disebabkan oleh kelainan saluran pencernaan. Pemicu dari gejala tersebut karena adanya jumlah asam lambung yang berlebihan.

Asam lambung diproduksi oleh lambung untuk membantu pencernaan makanan. Tapi jika berlebihan akan menimbulkan masalah. Produksi asam lambung biasanya meningkat pada saat tubuh memerlukannya, yaitu ketika makan. Sebaliknya, pada saat tubuh tidak memerlukan, produksi asam lambung akan menurun kembali. Faktor yang memicu produksi asam lambung berlebihan, diantaranya beberapa zat kimia, seperti alkohol, umumnya obat penahan nyeri, asam cuka, juga beberapa makanan dan minuman yang bersifat asam,, makanan dengan bumbu yang bersifat asam dan sebagainya. Makanan yang pedas serta bumbu yang merangsang, semisal merica, juga akan memicu produksi asam lambung.

Pola makan yang tidak teratur dapat menimbulkan gejala sakit maag. Hal itu terjadi karena lambung memproduksi asam lambung untuk mencerna makanan dalam jadwal yang teratur. Bahkan, saat tidur pun lambung tetap saja memproduksi asam walaupun tak ada makanan yang harus dihancurkan. Karena itu, jadwal makan yang tidak teratur kerap membuat lambung sulit beradaptasi. Bila hal ini berlangsung terus-menerus, akan terjadi kelebihan asam dan akan mengiritasi dinding mukosa lambung. Rasa perih dan mual pun muncul.

Selain pola makan tak teratur, penyakit maag juga bisa disebabkan oleh stres. Hal ini dimungkinkan karena sistem persyarafan di otak berhubungan dengan lambung, sehingga bila seseorang mengalami stres maka bisa muncul kelainan pada lambung, karena terjadi ketidakseimbangan. Perlu Anda tahu, stres bisa menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan hormonal di dalam tubuh. Selanjutnya perubahan itu akan merangsang sel-sel di dalam lambung yang kemudian memproduksi asam secara berlebihan. Asam yang berlebihan ini membuat lambung terasa nyeri, perih, dan kembung. Dalam jangka panjang hal ini dapat menimbulkan luka pada dinding lambung.

Jenis Maag

Ada dua jenis maag, yaitu organik dan fungsional.

Ciri dalam maag organik adalah terdapat peradangan di sekitar lambung atau lecet-lecet yang disebabkan karena tumor atau penyakit-penyakit lain yang menyebabkan luka. Luka-luka inilah yang harus diprioritaskan untuk disembuhkan. Dokter yang mendiagnosis penderita maag, biasanya akan memeriksa tingkat keseriusan peradangan lambung dan usus pasien.

Sedangkan pada penderita maag fungsional tidak ditemukan adanya perdangan atau luka, tetapi penderita merasakan perutnya kembung, tanpa ada penyebab yang pasti. Biasanya, penderita seperti itu lebih karena disebabkan faktor stress, yang seolah-olah perutnya mengalami keluhan tertentu.

Solusi

Prinsip penanganannya adalah diet atau pengaturan makan. Jangan biarkan perut lama dalam keadaan kosong. Keadaan kosong ini dapat mengakibatkan asam lambung yang sudah diproduksi tidak mempunyai bahan untuk dicerna, dan pada akhirnya dinding lambung sendiri yang menjadi sasarannya.

Jangan terlalu banyak mengkonsumsi makanan atau minuman pedas dan asam. Hindari makanan berlemak, karena lemak sulit dicerna oleh lambung. Selain itu, tekstur makanan sebaiknya lembut (lunak).

Sering-seringlah minum air putih, karena bisa mengurangi sifat asam dari makanan atau minuman tersebut. Kurangi mengkonsumsi minuman kopi atau soft drink. Porsi makanan sebaiknya tidak terlalu banyak, tetapi dengan frekuensi sering. Diet makanan yang berserat tinggi akan sangat membantu menetralkan lemak dan asam, serta mempercepat penyembuhan luka. Sumber makanan beserat tinggi terutama adalah sayur dan buah

seluk beluk penyakit sifilis si raja singa

Sifilis atau Raja Singa adalah penyakit menular seksual yang disebabkan oleh Treponema pallidum. Penyakit menular seksual adalah penyakit yang ditularkan melalui hubungan seksual. Penyakit ini sangat kronik, bersifat sistemik dan menyerang hampir semua alat tubuh.

cara penularan penyakit sifilis : Cara penularan yang paling umum adalah hubungan seks vaginal, anal atau oral. Namun, penyakit ini juga dapat ditularkan melalui hubungan non-seksual jika ulkus atau lapisan mukosa yang disebabkan oleh sifilis kontak dengan lapisan kulit yang tidak utuh dengan orang yang tidak terinfeksi.
pencegahan penyakit sifilis: Tidak melakukan hubungan seks secara vaginal, anal dan oral dengan orang yang terinfeksi adalah satu-satunya cara pencegahan yang 100% efektif mencegah penularan sifilis melalui hubungan seksual. Kondom dapat mengurangi tetapi tidak menghilangkan risiko tertular penyakit ini melalui hubungan seks. Masih ada kemungkinan tertular sifilis walaupun memakai kondom yaitu melalui luka yang ada di daerah kelamin. Usaha untuk mencegah kontak non-seksual dengan luka, ruam atau lapisan bermukosa karena adanya sifilis juga perlu dilakukan.

Selain cara pencegahan sifilis, dapat pula dengan pengobatan yaitu:
Penyakit ini dapat diobati dengan penisilin; namun, kerusakan pada organ tubuh yang telah terjadi tidak dapat diperbaiki.

Konsekuensi yang Mungkin Terjadi pada Orang yang Terinfeksi: Jika tidak diobati, sifilis dapat menyebabkan kerusakan serius pada hati, otak, mata, sistem saraf, tulang dan sendi dan dapat menyebabkan kematian. Seorang yang sedang menderita sifilis aktif risikonya untuk terinfeksi HIV jika terpapar virus tersebut akan meningkat karena luka (chancres) merupakan pintu masuk bagi virus HIV.

Konsekuensi yang Mungkin Terjadi pada Janin dan Bayi: Jika tidak diobati, seorang ibu hamil yang terinfeksi sifilis akan menularkan penyakit tersebut pada janin yang dikandungnya. Janin meninggal di dalam dan meninggal pada periode neonatus terjadi pada sekitar 25% dari kasus-kasus ini. 40-70% melahirkan bayi dengan sifilis aktif. Jika tidak terdeteksi, kerusakan dapat terjadi pada jantung, otak dan mata bayi.

untuk etiologi, patofisiologi, klasifikasi, gejala klinis dan penatalaksanaan penyakit sifilis dapat dilihat disini.

Gambaran Pengetahuan dan Sikap Siswa SMAN tentang Pendidikan Seks (Sex Education)

KTI KEBIDANAN
GAMBARAN PENGETAHUAN DAN SIKAP SISWA SMUN 1 ..... TENTANG PENDIDIKAN SEKS (SEX EDUCATION)

B A B I
PENDAHULUAN

A. Latar Belakang
Dewasa ini kehidupan seks bebas telah merebak ke kalangan kehidupan remaja dan anak sehingga pendidikan seks atau pendidikan mengenai kesehatan reproduksi yang lebih trendnya sex education sudah seharusnya diberikan kepada anak-anak yang sudah beranjak dewasa atau remaja baik malalui pendidikan formal maupun informal. Ini penting untuk mencegah biasnya pendidikan seks maupun pengetahuan tentang kesehatan reproduksi di kalangan remaja (Syarif, 2008: 39).
Berdasarkan kesepakatan International di Kairo 1994 (The Cairo Consensus) tentang kesehatan reproduksi yang berhasil ditandatangani oleh 184 negara termasuk Indonesia, diputuskan tentang perlunya pendidikan seks bagi para remaja. Dalam salah satu butir konsensus tersebut ditekankan tentang upaya untuk mengusahakan dan merumuskan perawatan kesehatan seksual dan reproduksi serta menyediakan informasi yang komprehensif termasuk bagi para remaja (Syarif, 2008: 39)
Sementara meninjau berbagai fenomena yang terjadi di Indonesia, agaknya masih timbul pro kontra di masyarakat, lantaran adanya anggapan bahwa membicarakan seks adalah hal yang tabu dan pendidikan seks akan mendorong remaja untuk berhubungan seks. Sebagian besar masih berpandangan stereotype dengan pendidikan seks seolah sebagai suatu hal yang vulgar (Syarif, 2008: 39).
Menurut Sofyan, selaku senior Koordinator Central Mitra Remaja (CMR) yang merupakan salah satu unit kegiatan dari Perkumpulan Keluarga Berencana Indonesia (PKBI) menyebutkan, selama ini jika kita berbicara mengenai seks, maka yang terbersit dalam benak sebahagian orang adalah hubungan seks. Padahal, seks itu artinya jenis kelamin yang membedakan antara cowok dan cewek atau laki-laki dan perempuan secara biologis (Syarif, 2008: 40)

Dari data Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI 1997) menyebutkan, dari 1563 perempuan usia subur, terdapat 5 0,9% melakukan aborsi secara sengaja pada usia 15-19 tahun, sekitar 11,9% melakukan secara tradisional ataupun medis. Cara tradisional yang digunakan untuk aborsi adalah meminum jamu atau ramuan tradisional, jumlah pelakunya sekitar 27,5%. Sementara itu dari penuturan yang disampaikan oleh Mestika (1996) yang merangkum dari hasil penelitian para pengamat masalah sosial remaja dibeberapa kota besar antara lain: Sarwono (1970) meneliti 117 remaja di Jakarta dan menemukan bahwa 4,1% pernah melakukan hubungan seks. Beberapa tahun kemudian, Eko (1983) meneliti 461 remaja dan dari penelitian ini diperoleh data bahwa 8,2% diantaranya pernah melakukan hubungan seks dan 10% diantaranya menganggap bahwa hubungan seks pranikah adalah wajar. Di Semarang, Satoto (1992) mengadakan penelitian terhadap 1086 responden pelajar SMP-SMU dan menemukan data bahwa 4,1% remaja putra dan 5,1% remaja putri pernah melakukan hubungan seks. Pada tahun yang sama Tjitara mensurvei 200 remaja yang hamil tanpa dikehendaki. Survei yang dilakukan Tjitara juga memaparkan bahwa mayoritas berpendidikan SMA ke atas, 23% diantaranya berusia 15-20 tahun dan 77% berusia 20-25 tahun (Syarif, 2008: 41)
Dengan begitu banyaknya faktor yang menyebabkan efek pornografi membuat remaja terjerumus ke alam bebas yang tidak bertanggung jawab misalnya, film layar lebar, VCD, DVD, media cetak, sampai assesoris yang mudah didapatkan bahkan tayangan televisipun saat ini mengarah kepada hal yang seperti itu dan juga belum lancarnya komunikasi remaja dengan orang tua yang menyangkut soal seks. Dari data survei yang diambil oleh Synovate Research ke 450 responden dan 4 kota dengan kisaran usia antara 15-24 tahun, mengungkapkan bahwa sekitar 65% informasi tentang seks, mereka dapatkan dari kawan, dan 30% sisanya dari film porno. Ironisnya hanya 5% dari resdponden remaja ini mendapat informasi tentang seks dari orang tuanya ((Syarif, 2008: 41).
Kurangnya pengetahuan seks dan kehidupan remaja serta adanya data dan adanya tanggapan bahwa pendidikan seks adalah tabu membuat para remaja bukan menjadi takut tetapi mereka lebih ingin mencari tahu sendiri melalui informasi-informasi yang mudah mereka dapatkan melalui kaset VCD, film layar lebar, gambar-gambar dan masih banyak lagi. Hal tersebut membuat remaja menjadi penasaran dan terdorong untuk melakukan hubungan seksual di luar nikah tanpa melihat akibat-akibat yang akan ditimbulkan.
Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan Armelia, (2007) mengenai pengetahuan siswa tentang pendidikan seks di SMU Kristen Tentena dari 58 responden
didapatkan siswa yang memiliki pengetahuan baik 51,7% dan yang memiliki pengetahuan yang kurang baik adalah 48,3%.
SMUN 1 .......... merupakan sekolah yang terluas di daerah .......... serta belum pernah dilakukan penelitian dan belum pernah diadakan penelitian tentang pendidikan seks untuk itu peneliti tertarik melakukan penelitian di tempat ini, dan ingin mendapatkan gambaran yang jelas dan akurat mengenai pengetahuan dan sikap remaja tentang pendidikan seks (Sex Education).
Berdasarkan uraian di atas maka peneliti tertarik untuk lebih mengetahui “Gambaran Pengetahuan dan Sikap Siswa SMUN 1 .......... Tentang Pendidikan Seks (Sex Education) Tahun 2010”.

Hubungan Kejadian Partus Prematur dengan Paritas di Kamar Bersalin RSUD

ABSTRAK
Hubungan Kejadian Partus Prematur dengan Paritas
di Kamar Bersalin RSUD ............ Kota ........
Periode 1 Januari - 31 Desember 2009

Partus prematur merupakan penyebab utama morbiditas dan mortalitas perinatal di seluruh dunia. Janin yang lahir secara prematur mempunyai risiko komplikasi yang sangat tinggi. Penyebab partus prematur masih sulit ditentukan namun masih dapat diidentifikasi diantaranya paritas. Pada tahun 2005 kejadian partus prematur di Indonesia sekitar 19 % dimana 20 % kelahiran tersebut banyak dialami oleh ibu dengan paritas tinggi. Penelitian Agustina tahun 2005 di RSUD dr. Soetomo Surabaya menyebutkan bahwa wanita yang telah melahirkan lebih dari tiga kali mempunyai risiko 4 kali lebih besar mengalami partus prematur bila dibandingkan dengan paritas yang kurang dari tiga. Oleh karena itu peneliti ingin meneliti tentang Hubungan Kejadian Partus Prematur dengan Paritas di RSUD .............
Desain Penelitian yang digunakan adalah korelasi retrospektif dengan menggunakan data pasien yang terdapat dalam Buku Laporan Harian. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu bersalin yang melahirkan di Kamar Bersalin RSUD ............ Kota ........ periode 1 Januari – 31 Desember 2009 sejumlah 637 kasus persalinan. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah sampling jenuh.
Hasil penelitian didapatkan 637 kasus kelahiran bayi dengan 55 kasus merupakan partus prematur sedangkan sisanya persalinan aterm (85,24%) dan postdate (6,12%). Partus prematur banyak terjadi pada ibu dengan paritas tinggi (nullipara, primipara) sebanyak 70,91% sedangkan ibu dengan paritas rendah sebanyak 2 9,09% (multipara, grandemultipara).
Hasil penelitian diperoleh X2 hitung sebesar 35,74, pada taraf signifikansi 0,05 dan df (degree of freedom) = 1, nilai tersebut lebih besar dibanding nilai X2 tabel. Dengan demikian hipotesis nihil (Ho) ditolak yang berarti ada hubungan kejadian partus prematur dengan paritas.

Hubungan Antara Pengetahuan Orang Tua tentang Pemberian Makan Kepada Anak dengan Kejadian Obesitas pada Balita

BAB I
PENDAHULUAN

1.1 Latar Belakang
Pemberian nutrisi secara seimbang pada anak harus dimulai sejak dalam kandungan, yaitu dengan pemberian nutrisi yang cukup memadai pada ibu hamil. Setelah lahir harus diupayakan pemberian ASI secara eksklusif, yaitu pemberian ASI saja sampai anak berumur 6 bulan. Sejak berumur 6 bulan, anak diberikan tambahan atau pendamping ASI (PASI). Pemberian PASI ini penting untuk melatih kebiasaan makan yang baik dan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan nutrisi yang meningkat pada masa bayi dan prasekolah. Karena pada masa ini pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang terjadi adalah sangat pesat, terutama pertumbuhan otak (Nursalam,dkk.2005).
Namun tidak selamanya nutrisi pada anak terpenuhi dengan seimbang. Kondisi ini menimbulkan perbedaan keadaan gizi antara anak yang satu dengan anak yang lain. Ada kalanya anak memiliki keadaan gizi lebih, keadaan gizi baik, dan keadaan gizi buruk. Keadaan gizi baik akan dapat dicapai dengan pemberian makanan yang seimbang bagi tubuh menurut kebutuhan. Sedangkan gizi lebih atau gizi kurang terjadi bila pemberian makanan tidak seimbang menurut kebutuhan anak.
Obesitas merupakan kelainan atau penyakit yang ditandai dengan penimbunan jaringan lemak tubuh secara berlebihan (Damayanti, 2004). Secara umum, kegemukan (obesitas) disebabkan oleh tidak seimbangnya energi dari makanan dengan kalori yang dikeluarkan. Kondisi ini akibat interaksi beberapa faktor, yaitu keluarga, penggunaan energi, dan keturunan (yatim, 2005).
Terdapat 3 faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap berkembangnya obesitas, yaitu genetik, lingkungan dan neuro (Juanita, 2004). Namun, berdasarkan hasil penelitian Badan International Obeysitas Task Force (ITF) dari badan WHO yang mengurusi anak yang kegemukan, 99% anak obesitas karena faktor lingkungan, sedangkan yang dianggap genetik biasanya bukan genetik tetapi akibat faktor lingkungan (Darmono, 2006). Faktor lingkungan ini dipengaruhi oleh aktifitas dan pola makan orang tua anak, misal pola makan bapak dan ibunya tidak teratur menurun pada anak, karena di lingkungan itu tidak menyediakan makanan yang tinggi energi, bahkan aktifitas dalam keluarga juga mendukung (Darmono, 2006).
Komplikasi dari anak – anak yang mengalami obesitas, bisa terjadi diabetes tipe 2 yang resisten terhadap insulin, sindrom metabolisme, muncul tekanan darah tinggi, kolesterol tinggi, dan tingkat blood lipid yang abnormal (Fauzin, 2006).
Menurut Roskitt dan Clair yang dikutip oleh Subardja D, 2004, “obesitas pada anak merupakan cikal bakal terjadinya penyakit degeneratif kardiovaskuler, Diabetes Mellitus, dan penyakit degeneratif lainnya yang dapat timbul sebelum atau setelah masa dewasa”.
Di Indonesia, angka kejadian obesitas terus meningkat, hal ini disebabkan perubahan pola makan serta pandangan masyarakat yang keliru bahwa sehat adalah identik dengan gemuk (Soetjiningsih, 1998). Kurangnya pengetahuan dan salah persepsi tentang kebutuhan makanan dan nilai makanan juga merupakan merupakan salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi status gizi seseorang (Budiyanto, 2004). Obesitas yang terjadi sebelum umur 5 tahun mempunyai kecenderungan tetap gemuk pada waktu dewasa, dari pada yang terjadi sesudahnya (Soetjiningsih, 1998).
Peningkatan prevalensi obesitas ini terjadi di Negara maju maupun berkembang. Menurut Damayanti, 2004 prevalensi obesitas pada anak usia 6-17 tahun di Amerika Serikat dalam tiga dekade terakhir naik dari 7,6 – 10,8% menjadi 13-14%. Sedangkan anak sekolah di Singapura naik dari 9% menjadi 19 %.
Mengutip Survey Kesehatan Nasional, di Indonesia prevalensi obesitas pada balita juga naik. Prevalensi obesitas pada tahun 1992 sebanyak 1,26% dan 4,58% pada 1999. Sedangkan berdasarkan data RSU Dr.Soetomo Surabaya bagian anak menyebutkan jumlah anak kegemukan (obesitas) 8% pada tahun 2004 dan menjadi 11,5% pada tahun 2005.
Berdasarkan survey pendahuluan yang dilakukan oleh peneliti di KB-TKIT Al-Hikmah Surabaya, dari 122 siswa didapatkan data anak yang mempunyai status gizi Lebih (obesitas) sebanyak 21 orang atau 17,2%.
Melihat dari uraian di atas masalah yang terjadi adalah kejadian obesitas pada anak dan balita terus meningkat, serta kurangnya pengetahuan orang tua tentang pemberian makan kepada anak. Pengetahuan yang kurang ini dapat menyebabkan perilaku yang salah dalam memberikan dan mengawasi pola makan anaknya. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan penelitian tentang “Hubungan antara pengetahuan orang tua tentang pemberian makan kepada anak dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita”.

1.2 Rumusan masalah
Apakah ada hubungan antara pengetahuan orang tua tentang pemberian makan kepada anak dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita?

1.3 Tujuan penelitian
1.3.1 Tujuan umum
Untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pengetahuan orang tua tentang pemberian makan kepada anak dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita.
1.3.2 Tujuan khusus
1.3.2.1 Mengidentifikasi pengetahuan orang tua dari balita yang obesitas dan balita yang tidak obesitas di KB-TKIT Al-Hikmah Surabaya tentang pemberian makan kepada anak

1.3.2.3 Menganalisis hubungan antara pengetahuan orang tua tentang pemberian makan kepada anak dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita di KB-TKIT Al-Hikmah Surabaya.

1.4 Manfaat penelitian
1.4.1 Bagi program kesehatan
Diharapkan hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai bahan masukan untuk meningkatkan pembinaan dan pelatihan serta pioritas program dalam upaya meningkatkan status gizi masyarakat dan penanggulangan kasus obesitas di masyarakat, khususnya pada balita.
1.4.2 Bagi Ilmu Pengetahuan
Menambah kajian baru ilmu pengetahuan khususnya dalam bidang kesehatan dan dapat digunakan sebagai bahan pembuatan penelitian selanjutnya
1.4.3 Bagi penulis
Penulis dapat mengaplikasikan pengetahuan yang diperoleh selama di bangku kuliah dalam kehidupan yang nyata di tengah-tengah masyarakat.

Here Are The Most Common Causes Of Hair Loss In Teenagers And Adults

There can be quite a few reasons for balding in both men and females. Deficient nutrition, hormonal dynamics, mental stress, diseases can all result in hair fall problem. In medical the most widespread origin is called adrogenetic alopecia. This expression means hairlessness or thinning hair.

Adrogenetic here may be meant to see the result of androgens or male hormones, in addition genetic predisposition to balding are doubtless reasons for hair loss. Saying balding has been a genetic issue is just not that simple. One or two cases of hair fall in your family would like not be mean you'll be bald too. It's been a difficult prediction to mention who will begin balding and losing hair or how soon this can happen. This is often the explanation why they assert hair restoration can need meticulous preparation. Each one of us manufacture androgenic hormones. However how volatile these sorts of hormones will get has been the essential factor.
