Abstract

Mental health is a critical component of overall well-being, especially for nursing students who encounter distinct academic and clinical stressors throughout their education. This study seeks to gain an in-depth understanding of nursing students' experiences during clinical practice, with a particular focus on their mental health. This study used a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore in-depth the mental health experiences of nursing students during clinical education. The study involved 15 final year nursing students who met the inclusion criteria such as being or having undergone clinical practice and being able to articulate their experiences. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews using open-ended questions and supported by observations of non-verbal responses. Data were analyzed using identification of meaningful statements, thematic grouping, and descriptive construction, while applying bracketing to minimize researcher bias. The findings identified five key themes affecting nursing students’ psychological well-being during clinical practice: psychological stress, lack of confidence and fear of mistakes, social support, coping strategies, and personal meaning of the experience. Despite facing various pressures, students were able to build mental resilience through social support and coping strategies and found positive meaning from the practice experience. Nursing educational institutions are advised to provide psychological support and stress management training to help students cope with stress during clinical practice.

Abstract

Background: Three-month injectable contraception is one of the most widely used contraceptive methods in Indonesia due to its practicality and effectiveness. However, long-term use is often associated with weight gain, which may affect women's physical, psychological, and social well-being, as well as the continuation of contraceptive use. Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences and perceptions of women using three-month injectable contraception regarding weight gain in the working area of Bahu Public Health Center, Malalayang District, Manado City. Methods: This study employed a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 participants selected using purposive sampling. The number of participants was determined based on the principle of data saturation. Data were analyzed to identify themes related to participants’ experiences and perceptions of weight gain during the use of three-month injectable contraception. Results: The findings revealed that most participants experienced weight gain after using three-month injectable contraception. The increase in body weight affected their physical activities, caused feelings of discomfort, reduced self-confidence, and influenced social interactions. Despite these challenges, the majority of participants chose to continue using injectable contraception because they perceived it as practical, effective, and suitable for their family planning needs. Conclusion: Weight gain is a common experience among users of three-month injectable contraception and has physical, psychological, and social impacts. Nevertheless, the perceived benefits of this contraceptive method remain the primary factor supporting its continued use. Suggestion: Healthcare providers are encouraged to strengthen counseling regarding the potential side effects of three-month injectable contraception, provide education on weight management strategies, and conduct regular weight monitoring to enhance users’ comfort, satisfaction, and adherence to contraceptive use.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is an important strategy to improve maternal and child health; however, its practice is influenced by multiple complex factors. This study aimed to explore mothers’ decision-making processes regarding exclusive breastfeeding in Sario, Manado. A qualitative descriptive exploratory design was used. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven mothers (RS1–RS7) selected by purposive sampling. The study was conducted in May 2016 in the working area of Sario Community Health Center and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed four main themes: maternal knowledge and perception of exclusive breastfeeding, family and husband support, work and daily activities, and cultural and social influences. Mothers with better knowledge and stronger family support were more likely to practice exclusive breastfeeding, while insufficient knowledge, lack of family support, work-related constraints, and social influences including formula milk promotion were major barriers. In conclusion, exclusive breastfeeding decision-making is a complex process shaped by individual and contextual factors. Strengthening maternal education, family involvement, and workplace support is recommended.

Abstract

Lansia yang tinggal di panti sosial berisiko mengalami penurunan suasana hati akibat perubahan psikologis, berkurangnya interaksi sosial, serta keterpisahan dari keluarga. Kondisi tersebut memerlukan intervensi nonfarmakologis yang sederhana, mudah diterapkan, dan mampu meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologis. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan suasana hati lansia melalui penerapan terapi reminiscence di Balai Penyantunan Sosial Lanjut Usia Terlantar Senja Cerah Manado. Metode yang digunakan berupa pendidikan masyarakat melalui penyuluhan mengenai kesehatan mental lansia dan pelatihan terapi reminiscence secara berkelompok. Sebanyak 50 lansia mengikuti kegiatan yang diawali dengan pengukuran pre-test suasana hati menggunakan skala mood, dilanjutkan dengan sesi terapi selama 45–60 menit, kemudian dilakukan post-test dan observasi perubahan perilaku peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan rerata skor suasana hati dari 5,04 ± 0,78 sebelum intervensi menjadi 7,74 ± 0,67 setelah intervensi, dengan rata-rata peningkatan sebesar 2,70 ± 0,46 poin (p < 0,001). Selain itu, hasil observasi memperlihatkan bahwa peserta tampak lebih rileks, lebih ceria, lebih aktif, lebih percaya diri, dan lebih mudah berinteraksi. Penerapan terapi reminiscence terbukti efektif meningkatkan suasana hati lansia dan berpotensi menjadi salah satu program psikososial yang dapat diterapkan secara rutin di panti sosial untuk mendukung penuaan yang sehat dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup lansia.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of adolescent obesity and poor diet quality remains a significant public health issue, with socioeconomic factors playing an important role in shaping dietary behaviors. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic status and diet quality among obese adolescents in Tomohon City using a cross-sectional design. A total of 316 obese adolescents aged 17–19 years were recruited through purposive sampling, a non-probability sampling technique in which participants were selected based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Diet quality was measured using the Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015), while socioeconomic status was assessed through a parental questionnaire covering income, education, occupation, and household expenditure. Data were collected via Google Forms and analyzed using the Chi-square test and simple logistic regression at a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had medium socioeconomic status (61.4%) and diet quality categorized as “needs improvement” (75.0%), with a significant association between socioeconomic status and diet quality (p < 0.001; OR = 13.168; 95% CI: 6.975–24.859). In conclusion, socioeconomic status is significantly associated with diet quality among obese adolescents in Tomohon City. These findings underscore the need for targeted nutrition interventions to improve dietary quality among socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents.
