Healthy Behavior for Elementary School (SDN Kalisalak Batang)

little doctors training


Biologically, a child (children) is generally a human between the stages of birth and puberty. The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.
Child may also describe a relationship with a parent (such as sons and daughters of any age) or, metaphorically, an authority figure, or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance, as in "a child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties"

Cleanliness is one of the key factors for maintaining health, hygiene unfortunately it is rarely used as a priority value to be imparted to children from an early age in the family and at school. Actually clean habits in adulthood, is determined by the clean living habits since childhood. Therefore, educate and instill the concept of clean healthy for children should be started at an early age. Introducing the concept of early hygiene means since newborns are introduced to the concept of clean living. Parents, always trying to keep the body and the baby's clothes. Thus, the infant gradually child will be familiar with the concept of clean and feel uncomfortable if the environment is dirty. Furthermore, at the age of five a child who has been able to communicate well and maybe a bit much can be given various interpretations by the argument, then the concept of cleanliness that you want can be taught with communication while playing and others.

Familiarize clean living family has various advantages, such as: the whole family will be healthy and avoid the various diseases that arise because of a lifestyle that is not clean. For example: a person can suffer from diarrhea just because lazy to wash hands before taking food or let the food is not covered or treated in a way that is not hygienic. Likewise with used clothing, should be washed every day because of dirty clothes is where the growth and development of fungi that can cause a variety of skin diseases. And skin diseases in children, usually the recovery will take quite a long time because the child usually cannot resist the urge to scratch excessively itchy skin.

Here are some ways to maintain cleanliness bodies of children everyday:
1.      Bathe your toddler with soap 2 (two) times a day.
2.      Wash your hair with shampoo toddler at least 3 (three) times a week.
3.      Make it a habit to wash your toddler hands with soap before eating, after urinating, after defecating and after playing.
4.      Keep your toddler's ear.
5.      Soon fingernail clippers and your toddler toenails if started long.
6.      Teach your toddler and make it a habit to defecate and urinate in the toilet.
7.      Always keep clothing, toys and bedding used by the child.
8.      Always keep the cleanliness of food, drinks and a place that used to serve it.

baby healty : Are You My Mother?


In line with the development of the age, the higher of the necessities of life. And coupled with the emancipation of women, so many women who work outside the home. No exception for a mother. When this task concurrent housewife as a career woman. No real problem, if the mother can devote time to being a career woman and being a good mother to her children.

However, this is what happened. A mother can not be a good mother to her children. One example is not breastfeed their babies exclusively for children, but give cow's milk or formula. The reason that they often convey is that busy so not had time to give exclusive breastfeeding. Their babies were cared for by a baby sister who can only give cow's milk or formula. Their baby will never feel the benefits of breastfeeding mothers and maternal love. Baby just enjoy cow's milk.

As a good mother, a career woman is not a reason not to give exclusive breastfeeding their babies. There are solutions that can be done is to give milk milking breast milk. This milking's milk can be stored, so that any time a baby needs mother's milk can be given immediately even though there is no mother. Milking milk can be stored in special containers made of glass or plastic material that has a closed tightly.

Earlier this container is sterilized first by boiling. Once cool, the new breast milk can be poured into the container. Milking breast milk should not be too much to be saved, just for a drink that is only about 60 ml. breast milk that has been accommodated in the container, can be stored in the freezer. The freezer temperature gets colder the longer it can survive breast milk, which is about 3 months. If you want to use Milking breast milk, remove from freezer and then taken up to thaw breast milk.

After it warmed with boiling water. The trick, pour boiling water into a larger bowl of Milking breast milk container. Then place the vessel containing Milking breast milk into it. Make sure that boiling water does not enter into the Milking breast milk. If it is warm, the milk can be given to babies but have shaken first. Residual breast milk that can not last long (less than 24 hours) and can not be frozen again. This is why breast milk is provided should be sufficient.

Although Milking breast milk is not immediately given the mother, but at least the baby can feel mothers breast milk and their benefits. And more importantly, the child will feel if you are indeed her mother though indirectly baby also feel the love his mother. They are your children, so it was supposed to give breast milk to them.

Dengue Fever : How to Prevent


Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, a characteristic morbilliform skin rash, and muscle and joint pains; in a small proportion the disease progresses to life-threatening complications such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (which may lead to severe bleeding) and dengue shock syndrome (where inadequate perfusion of tissues can cause organ dysfunction or failure and even death).
Dengue is transmitted by several species of mosquito within the Aedes genus, particularly A. aegypti. The virus exists in four different types, and an infection with one type usually gives lifelong immunity to that type, but only short-term immunity to the others. There is currently no available vaccine, but measures to reduce the habitat and the number of mosquitoes, and limiting exposure to bites, are used to decrease the incidence of dengue.
Treatment of acute dengue is supportive, using either oral or intravenous rehydration for mild or moderate disease, and intravenous fluids and blood transfusion for more severe cases. The incidence of dengue fever has increased dramatically over the last 50 years, with around 50–100 million people being infected yearly. Dengue is currently endemic in more than 110 countries. Early descriptions of the condition date from 1779, and its viral cause and the transmission were elucidated in the early 20th century. Dengue has become a worldwide problem since the Second World War.

Clinical course

The characteristic symptoms of dengue are: a sudden-onset fever, headache (typically behind the eyes), muscle and joint pains, and a rash; the alternative name for dengue, "break-bone fever", comes from the associated muscle and joints pains. The course of infection is divided into three phases: febrile, critical, and recovery.
The febrile phase involves high fevers, frequently over 40 °C (104 °F) and associated with generalized pain and a headache; this usually lasts 2–7 days. Flushed skin and some small red spots called petechiae, which are caused by broken capillaries, may occur at this point, as may some mild bleeding from mucous membranes of the mouth and nose.
The critical phase, if it occurs, follows the resolution of the high fever and typically lasts one to two days. During this phase there may be significant fluid accumulation in the chest and abdominal cavity due to increased capillary permeability and leakage. This leads to depletion of fluid from the circulation and decreased blood supply to vital organs. During this phase, organ dysfunction and severe bleeding (typically from the gastrointestinal tract) may occur. Shock and hemorrhage occur in less than 5% of all cases of dengue but those who have previously been infected with other serotypes of dengue virus ("secondary infection") have an increased risk of this.
The recovery phase occurs next, with resorption of the leaked fluid into the bloodstream. This usually occurs over a period of two to three days. The improvement is often striking, but there may be severe itching and a slow heart rate. It is during this stage that a fluid overload state may occur, which if it affects the brain may reduce the level of consciousness or cause seizures.
Management
There are no specific treatments for the dengue fever virus. Treatment depends on the symptoms, varying from oral rehydration therapy at home with close follow-up, to hospital admission with administration of intravenous fluids and/or blood transfusion. A decision for hospital admission is typically based on the presence of the "warning signs" listed in the table above, especially in those with preexisting health conditions.
Intravenous hydration is usually only needed for one or two days. The rate of fluid administration is titrated to a urinary output of 0.5–1 mL/kg/hr, stable vital signs and normalization of hematocrit. Invasive medical procedures such as nasogastric intubation, intramuscular injections and arterial punctures are avoided, in view of the bleeding risk. Acetaminophen may be used for fever and discomfort while NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and aspirin are avoided as they might aggravate the risk of bleeding. Blood transfusion is initiated early in patients presenting with unstable vital signs in the face of a decreasing hematocrit, rather than waiting for the hemoglobin concentration to decrease to some predetermined "transfusion trigger" level. Packed red blood cells or whole blood are recommended, while platelets and fresh frozen plasma are usually not.
During the recovery phase intravenous fluids are discontinued to prevent a state of fluid overload. If fluid overload occurs and vital signs are stable, stopping further fluid may be all that is needed. If a person is outside of the critical phase, a loop diuretic such as furosemide may be used to eliminate excess fluid from the circulation.

Prevention of Dengue Fever

To prevent dengue, mosquito transmission (Aedes aegypti) must be eliminated, because vacsin for prevention are not yet available
1) Proper way to eradicate Aedes aegypti mosquito-larvae is to eradicate the breeding grounds.
2) Therefore there breeding grounds in homes and public places, then every family should regularly carry out environmental hygiene at least once a week
3) Bathtub drain at least 1 week
4) Seal water reservoirs
5) Replace vase water / water plants once a week
6) Changing the drinking water of birds
7) Hoarding used goods that can hold water
8) Sowing Abete powder or altosid in places that are difficult drained water reservoirs or in areas with clean water scarce, so we need rainwater
Abate dose: 1 tablespoon pressed (+ 10 grams) to 100 liters of water
Altosid dose: 1 / 4 teaspoon pressed (+ 2.5 grams) to 100 liters
9) Keeping fish in places where water reservoirs
10) fogging with mosquito killer drug in mosquito breeding. required to kill adult mosquitoes

Hospitals has Increased Suffering of Patients with The Cost of Parking


The hospital is an institution of professional health care services provided by doctors, nurses and other health experts.
Hospital as a kind of public service agency at the forefront in the development of public health. Still, a few complaints had been directed at the quality of hospital services which is still considered low. It mainly local hospital or government-owned hospitals.
(from: http://www.jdih.bpk.go.id/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=194&Itemid=76)

Hospital as one of the health care facility has a very strategic role in the effort to accelerate the health status of Indonesian society. The Government has earnestly and constantly strive to improve both service quality promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitation. Role in today's increasingly demanded due to changes in disease-epidemiological changes, changes in organizational structure, development of science and technology, socio-economic changes in society and a more effective service, friendly and able to meet their needs.

The tendency of both the hospital's central government, local government, let alone a privately owned, the display style of hospital management and commercial capitalistic liberal become a threat to society.

As a result, people increasingly trauma to hospitals to get health care.

"This happened because the hospital (the hospital) we, te the display style of hospital management of a liberal capitalist, is really prioritizing commercial aspects," said Chairman of Commission IX of the Council representatives of the people of the Republic indonesiaI (health affairs), Ribka Tjiptaning (PDIP Faction) yesterday.

Increased suffering of patients with the cost of parking
Hospital as one of the health care facility has a very strategic role in the effort to accelerate the health status of Indonesian society. These health facilities should help ease suffering of the people who come for treatment and not as a commercial tool by exploiting the suffering of patients.

anyone who came to the hospital, certainly are madly in distress. sick family members and the cost to be very costly for the treatment of patients and their families.
parking area is needed by the families of patients who visit or accompany and fulfill patient needs. patient's family always uses this parking area for parking motor vehicles. costs that must be on the responsibility for parking is high and increasing costs of patients so that will add to the suffering patients.

appeal to local governments and officials who make policy, that should be applied to specific cost free parking in the hospitals parking area. so that patients are not burdened with the cost of parking and ease the cost of medical treatment.
I've experienced it while keeping my mother who was ill for 8 days in hospital Batang Regency, Central Java Indonesia. For parking fees, I have to spend Rp. 1000,- for the morning and the Rp. 2000,- for the night in a single day. parking fee was very burdensome for me and the people who are suffering in hospitals.
