Students are pressed for time due to the hectic lecture system and must complete assignments or prepare for block exams at night. Students can combat feelings of sleepiness and fatigue in a variety of ways, one of which is to consume caffeine-containing beverages, specifically coffee, which has the negative effect of causing anxiety disorders. The goal of this study is to see if there is a link between coffee consumption and anxiety in preclinical students from Tadulako University's Medical Faculty's batch 2020. The cross-sectional method was used in this study. Purposive sampling was used to collect the samples. The 20-item Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and an 11-item coffee consumption questionnaire were used to assess anxiety. The Spearman rho correlation test was used to calculate the correlation between two variables. The criteria were met by 108 respondents, with an average age of 18.7±0.6 years, 87 women (80.6%), and 21 men (19.4%). Following coffee consumption, the level of anxiety among students was found to be dominated by the absence of anxiety or normal (73.1%), mild anxiety (24.1%), and moderate anxiety (2.8%).

AIM: This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, actions, and skills of pregnant women in the early detection of high-risk pregnancy before and after the intervention and the effectiveness of M.D-Risti modules and applications. METHODS: This study used a quasi-experiment design research design with a pre-post only group design consisting of an intervention group and a control group at 4 health centers in Palu City with a purposive sampling technique of 43 respondents per group with univariate and bivariate analysis. RESULTS: The results showed that there was a significant difference in the level of knowledge (p = 0.00), attitude (p = 0.00), action (p = 0.00), and the skills of pregnant women in early detection of pregnancy (p = 0.00) before and after treatment in the intervention group. There was a significant difference between the two groups with a significant value on knowledge (p = 0.00), attitude (p = 0.00), action (p = 0.00), and skills of pregnant women in doing early detection of pregnancy risk independently (p = 0.00).
