Stress is common in daily life, including among medical students. Stress can disrupt their studies and interfere with their individual performance, so it is necessary to manage stress, i.e. through self reflection. <strong>Objective</strong>: To determine the relationship between self-reflection abilities and stress levels among first-year students of the Medical Study and Medical Profession Education Program, Faculty of Medicine, Tanjungpura University. <strong>Methods</strong>: An observational analytical cross-sectional study on 141 students selected with a non-probability sampling technique. Data were collected with MAI questionnaires, MSSQ questionnaires, and acute stressor sheets. Analysis was conducted with the Spearman correlation test. <strong>Results</strong>: There were 107 respondents (75.9%) who had a good ability to self-reflect, and 73 respondents (52.1%) had a moderate level of stress. Spearman correlation test showed a significance value of 0.001 and a correlation coefficient of -0.282. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The ability of self-reflection is negatively correlated with stress levels among first-year of Medical Students and Clinical Clerkships at Faculty of Medicine, Tanjungpura University, Pontianak, Indonesia, that the better the ability of self-reflection, the lower the individual’s stress level and vice versa.</p> Faradilla Salsabila Ita Armyanti Iit Fitrianingrum Copyright (c) 2024 Faradilla Salsabila, Ita Armyanti, Iit Fitrianingrum https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-12-05 2024-12-05 51 12 667 682 10.55175/cdk.v51i12.1188 Visualization of the Appendix on Abdominal Ultrasound at Kasih Ibu Saba Hospital, Gianyar, Indonesia https://cdkjournal.com/index.php/cdk/article/view/1190 <p>Appendicitis is the frequent cause of right lower abdominal pain. Ultrasound is the first modality for diagnosis, with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive rates, and predictive rates were 86%, 94%, 100%, and 92%. This modality has high accuracy and no radiation side effects. However, the sensitivity and specificity of this examination vary due to several factors such as the operator, equipment, or patient condition. This study aims to determine the average distance of appendix from abdominal wall that can be visualized by ultrasound. From 103 patients with right lower abdominal pain, 32.05% appendix can be visualized and 53.12% patients diagnosed with appendicitis. The average distance of appendix from abdominal wall which can be visualized by ultrasound is 22.828 mm.</p> Made Alit Darmawan I Komang Artawan Copyright (c) 2024 Made Alit Darmawan, I Komang Artawan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-12-05 2024-12-05 51 12 683 686 10.55175/cdk.v51i12.1190 Management of Intraocular Foreign Bodies https://cdkjournal.com/index.php/cdk/article/view/1220 <p>Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) is an ophthalmologic emergency, demanding immediate diagnosis and treatment to prevent blindness and eye loss.

The patient has symptoms of pustules for 1 year and the nodules were getting worse in the last week, accompanied by fever, joint pain, nausea, and vomiting. Physical examination revealed madarosis, infiltrates of both ears, and multiple painful erythematous nodules on the extremities and trunk. Slit skin smear examination showed bacterial index +3 and morphological index of 15%. Histopathological examination revealed neutrophil infiltration and vasculitis in the upper dermis. The patient was diagnosed with lepromatous leprosy and severe ENL reaction. The patient received multidrug therapy and methylprednisolone (62.5 mg/day), which was gradually reduced. The ENL reaction is caused by the deposition of M. leprae antigens and antibodies in small blood vessels, resulting in vasculitis and the release of enzymes that damage tissues. ENL reactions are commonly found in multibacillary MH and occur before, during, and after treatment. This reaction is mediated by cytokines produced by T-helper-2 (Th2). ENL reactions can cause disability.</p> Adelia Wuri Pramudita Harijono Kariosentono Annisa Marsha Evanti Aiman Hilmi Asaduddin Copyright (c) 2024 Adelia Wuri Pramudita, Harijono Kariosentono, Annisa Marsha Evanti, Aiman Hilmi Asaduddin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-12-05 2024-12-05 51 12 696 699 10.55175/cdk.v51i12.1116 Young Women Suffering from Type 2 DM with Multicomplications https://cdkjournal.com/index.php/cdk/article/view/1090 <p>Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a progressive chronic metabolic disease characterized by an increase in blood sugar due to insulin resistance.

Hyponatremia is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Tolvaptan is an orally administered V2 receptor antagonist drug capable of aquaresis without excreting electrolytes, thus increasing plasma sodium concentration. Results from clinical trials showed tolvaptan to be a relatively safe and effective treatment in euvolemia and hypervolemia hyponatremia.</p> Terence Judian Samuel Alexsander Copyright (c) 2024 Terence Judian, Samuel Alexsander https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-12-05 2024-12-05 51 12 703 706 10.55175/cdk.v51i12.1498 Understanding Help-Seeking Behavior from Mental Health Literacy and Mental Health Belief Perspectives https://cdkjournal.com/index.php/cdk/article/view/1260 <p>Mental disorders were prevalent worldwide, and healthcare utilization was crucial. Initiating and sustaining treatment for individuals with mental disorders was compulsory to achieve recovery, disease burden reduction, and improved quality of life. As an attempt to obtain external assistancen to cope with mental health problems, help-seeking began from the ability to perceive a need for care that raises the seeking help intention. Mental health literacy (MHL) and mental health belief (MHB) influence individuals’ awareness of mental health problems and determine their help-seeking behavior. This review aimed to comprehend help-seeking behavior promotion through MHL, MHB, and interventions known to improve them. Publications within the last 5 years from PubMed and Google Scholar were used as references, including citing the original articles. MHL was influenced by age and gender. Religion, culture, age, and gender have been identified as factors thataffect MHB. Psychoeducation is considered an essential strategy to promote help-seeking behavior, which could be performed individually or in an empowered community. Efforts to understand various populations’ MHB, enhance MHL, and encourage help-seeking behavior should be endorsed. Therefore, early intervention to prevent further mental health burdens could be conducted.</p> Nicholas Hardi Natalia Natalia Fransisca Theresia Copyright (c) 2024 Natalia, Fransisca Theresia, Nicholas Hardi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-12-05 2024-12-05 51 12 707 713 10.55175/cdk.v51i12.1260 Post-Stroke Cognitive Disorders – A Systematic Review https://cdkjournal.com/index.php/cdk/article/view/1239 <p><strong>Introduction</strong>: The increasing number of stroke survivors was accompanied by an increase of cognitive impairment incidence as one of the post-stroke long-term consequences. Post-stroke cognitive impairment needs to be highlighted because of impact on reducing the quality of life, especially in the elderly. <strong>Methods</strong>: Literature was extensively searched across ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases, using several predetermined keywords. <strong>Results and Discussion</strong>: Nine articles were analyzed. MMSE and MoCA assessments were used as parameters of post-stroke cognitive impairment. Most patients experience post-stroke cognitive impairment ranging from mild cognitive impairment to vascular dementia or other types of dementia. Risk factors include older age, female, lower and shorter education, location of lesions in the left hemisphere with involvement of certain brain structures, uncontrolled and fluctuating blood pressure, family history of stroke, comorbid diseases, as well as an individualistic social life. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Stroke significantly increases the risk of cognitive impairment and<br />dementia.</p> Kelvin Kelvin Tifani Antonia Pradhea Intan Dwikarlina Aulia Wiratama Putra Lisa Agustina Derajat Fauzan Nardian Copyright (c) 2024 Kelvin, Tifani Antonia Pradhea, Intan Dwikarlina, Aulia Wiratama Putra, Lisa Agustina, Derajat Fauzan Nardian https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-12-05 2024-12-05 51 12 714 721 10.55175/cdk.v51i12.1239 Mammography Screening and Breast Cancer Mortality https://cdkjournal.com/index.php/cdk/article/view/1139 <p>Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Indonesia and one of the biggest contributor to cancer mortality. About 70% breast cancers are detected at an advanced stage which makes the mortality rate even higher. Several measures have been taken to detect breast cancer early, including mammography screening. Mammography is X-ray imaging used to detect abnormalities in breast cancer. The American College of Radiology recommends breast cancer screening for at-risk women starting at age 40. However, whether mammography screening can reduce breast cancer mortality is still debatable. </p> Catharina Endah Wulandari Copyright (c) 2024 Catharina Endah Wulandari https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-12-05 2024-12-05 51 12 722 725 10.55175/cdk.v51i12.1139
