Abstract

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality. Malnutrition often coexists with CHD and may be associated with poorer heart failure (HF) outcomes. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of malnutrition (underweight, wasting, and stunting) and its association with HF severity in children with CHD. Methods: This was a single-center cross-sectional study at a tertiary hospital in Indonesia. The study included 41 pediatric CHD patients, recruited using a total sampling technique. Anthropometric data were assessed based on World Health Organization standards. HF severity was evaluated using the Modified Ross Score. The Mann-Whitney, Kruskal- Wallis, Spearman correlation, and multiple linear regression were applied. Result: Among participants, 26.8% were underweight, 22.0% were wasted, and 36.6% were stunted. The mean HF severity score was 3.07 (SD = 1.40). Most were categorized as having mild HF (63.4%). Residence (Z = 1.967; p = 0.049), underweight (Z = -2.394; p = 0.017), stunting (Z = -2.497; p = 0.013), and wasting (Z = -2.236; p = 0.025) were significantly associated with higher HF severity scores. WAZ score significantly correlated with HF severity (r = -0.348; p = 0.026). Stunting (β = -0.334; 95% CI: -1.787 to -0.138; p = 0.023) and wasting (β = -0.316; 95% CI: -2.018 to -0.098; p = 0.032) were significant determinants of HF severity. Conclusion: Stunting and wasting were independently associated with greater HF severity. These findings suggest the potential clinical importance of early nutritional screening and multidisciplinary interventions to mitigate HF progression. Given the single-center design and small sample size, further multicenter studies are needed to confirm these findings and strengthen causal inference.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Kanker serviks merupakan salah satu penyebab utama morbiditas dan mortalitas pada perempuan di seluruh dunia. Nyeri kronis yang dialami pasien kanker serviks tidak hanya berdampak pada aspek fisik, tetapi juga memengaruhi kondisi psikologis dan spiritual sehingga memerlukan pendekatan keperawatan yang holistik. Healing Touch dan terapi dzikir merupakan intervensi komplementer yang berpotensi membantu mengurangi nyeri sekaligus meningkatkan kenyamanan pasien. Objektif: Mendeskripsikan penerapan kombinasi Healing Touch dan terapi dzikir sebagai intervensi keperawatan komplementer dalam menurunkan nyeri kronis dan meningkatkan kenyamanan pada pasien kanker serviks. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi kasus terhadap dua pasien perempuan dengan kanker serviks yang mengalami nyeri kronis dan menjalani perawatan di ruang rawat inap. Intervensi berupa kombinasi Healing Touch dan terapi dzikir diberikan selama tiga hari sebagai bagian dari asuhan keperawatan. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) melalui pengkajian sebelum dan sesudah intervensi, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif berdasarkan perkembangan kondisi pasien. Hasil. Setelah dilakukan intervensi terjadi penurunan nyeri dari skala 5 menjadi skala 3 sesudah intervensi, selain penurunan intensitas nyeri, kedua pasien menunjukkan peningkatan kenyamanan, relaksasi, ketenangan, serta kemampuan mengendalikan respons terhadap nyeri selama menjalani perawatan. Pasien juga tampak lebih mampu mengendalikan respons terhadap nyeri dan lebih kooperatif dalam mengikuti proses terapi. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi Healing Touch dan terapi dzikir berpotensi memberikan manfaat pada aspek fisik dan psikospiritual pasien. Implikasi Klinis: Kombinasi Healing Touch dan terapi dzikir berpotensi menjadi intervensi keperawatan komplementer yang mendukung pengelolaan nyeri kronis dan meningkatkan kenyamanan pada pasien kanker serviks. Pendekatan ini dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai bagian dari asuhan keperawatan holistik yang terintegrasi dengan terapi medis standar. Penelitian lebih lanjut dengan desain eksperimental dan jumlah sampel yang lebih besar diperlukan untuk mengonfirmasi efektivitas intervensi ini.

Abstract

Background: Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to reproductive health problems due to limited knowledge and inadequate access to reliable information. Innovative educational strategies are needed to improve their understanding of reproductive health. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Android-based reproductive health education in improving knowledge among adolescent girls. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design was conducted among 100 female students at a senior high school in Takalar, Indonesia. Participants were divided into an intervention group (n = 50) and a control group (n = 50). The intervention group received reproductive health education through an Android-based application, while the control group continued routine school activities. Knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney U test. Results: The intervention group showed a substantial increase in mean knowledge scores from pre-test to post-test (11.52 ± 3.04 to 17.54 ± 2.29), while the control group demonstrated only a slight change (12.86 ± 3.74 to 13.24 ± 4.22), indicating greater short-term knowledge improvement in the intervention group. Conclusion: Android-based reproductive health education effectively improves knowledge among adolescent girls and represents a promising digital approach for school-based health promotion

Abstract

Older adults experience a decline in physiological function that increases their risk of various health problems, including infections resulting from inadequate genital hygiene and limited ability to perform self-health screening. Low health literacy further reduces their capacity for self-care, highlighting the need for community-based educational interventions to improve their quality of life. This community service program aimed to enhance older adults’ knowledge of genital hygiene, infection prevention, self-health screening, and early detection of disease warning signs. The program employed a one-group pretest–posttest design using a participatory educational approach. A total of 15 older adults aged 60 years and above in Gorontalo City were purposively selected as participants. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire and analyzed descriptively and comparatively. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge across all indicators, with the mean score increasing from 55.2 ± 8.4 on the pretest to 82.8 ± 6.2 on the posttest, representing a 49.5% improvement. The greatest increase was observed in genital hygiene (51.6%), followed by self-health screening (50.6%), recognition of disease warning signs (49.7%), and infection prevention (48.2%). Knowledge distribution shifted from predominantly low (60.0%) to high (73.3%), while the reduced standard deviation indicated more evenly distributed knowledge among participants. These findings suggest that participatory health education is effective in improving health literacy and supporting healthy aging.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is a major reproductive health problem among women that requires promotive, preventive, and early detection efforts. Limited knowledge regarding risk factors, symptoms, prevention, and screening may contribute to delays in receiving appropriate examinations. This community service activity aimed to improve women’s knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer prevention and early detection through the CERIA Program (Prevent, Educate, Care, Identify, and Be Aware). The activity was conducted in Banggae Village, Takalar Regency, involving 40 women through pretests, reproductive health education, cervical cancer education, discussions, educational media demonstrations, risk factor identification simulations, posttests, and evaluation. The materials covered cervical cancer concepts, risk factors, symptoms, prevention through healthy lifestyles and HPV vaccination, screening importance, and access to health services. The evaluation showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 56.75 before intervention to 84.25 after intervention. Participants with good knowledge increased from 17.5% to 87.5%, and 35 participants (87.5%) correctly identified risk factors and prevention measures. The CERIA Program has potential as a community-based educational approach to strengthen women’s reproductive health literacy and encourage cervical cancer screening utilization.

Abstract

Diarrhea remains a significant health problem affecting toddlers and can cause severe dehydration if not managed appropriately. Parents play a crucial role in recognizing early symptoms, providing initial first aid, implementing preventive measures, and seeking timely medical care. This community service activity aimed to enhance parents’ knowledge and skills regarding early detection, prevention, and home management of toddler diarrhea. Held in Topejawa, Takalar Regency, the activity involved 40 parents of toddlers. The methodology comprised pretests, interactive health education, discussions, demonstrations, simulations, and posttests. Educational topics included diarrhea recognition, dehydration signs, clean living habits, food hygiene, handwashing, oral rehydration solutions, zinc supplementation, continued feeding, and danger signs requiring referral. Evaluation results showed that participants’ mean knowledge scores increased from 58.25 to 84.50 after the intervention. The proportion of parents demonstrating good knowledge rose from 20.0% to 85.0%. Furthermore, skill evaluations revealed that 35 parents (87.5%) successfully performed the initial management simulation with good proficiency. These findings demonstrate that interactive education combined with practice effectively improves parental capacity.
