Abstract

Background:  Pneumonia causes more deaths in children under five than AIDS, malaria and measles combined. If toddlers is not handled and cared for properly, pneumonia can recur or be called recurrent pneumonia. Based on initial data collection for the last 3 months, the number of cases of recurrent pneumonia in toddlers in the Bahteramas Hospital Poly room in 2022 was 36 cases.  Purpose:  This study was to determine whether there is a relationship between the knowledge of mothers under five and the behavior of preventing recurrent pneumonia at Bahteramas General Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province.  Methods:  research used is quantitative research. The design used in this study is a correlational analytic study using a cross sectional study approach. The total population in this study was 36 respondents with a total sample of 33 respondents. Results:  The results of statistical tests using the chi-square test obtained a p value of 0.000 which is less than α (0.05) meaning that there is a relationship between knowledge and behavior to prevent recurrent pneumonia. Conclusion:  This study found a significant relationship between the knowledge of mothers with toddlers and the behavior of preventing recurrent pneumonia at Bahteramas General Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province. Education for mothers with toddlers is essential to enhance efforts to prevent recurrent pneumonia in their children.

Abstract

Background: Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, are a serious health problem with increasing prevalence and risk of complications like infection and amputation. Modern wound dressing, as an innovative approach, is considered effective in creating an optimal moist wound environment to accelerate healing. Purpose: This literature review aims to analyze the effectiveness of various types of modern dressings on the chronic wound healing process. Methods: Articles were collected from PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases using the keywords "Modern wound dressing" AND ("hydrocolloid" OR "alginate" OR "silver dressing") AND "chronic wound healing", limited to publications from 2021 to 2025. A total of 10 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: The findings indicate that modern dressings (hydrocolloid, silver dressing, alginate) are effective in accelerating wound healing through mechanisms such as maintaining a moist environment, enhancing angiogenesis and collagen deposition, modulating immune responses (M2 macrophage polarization), and providing an antibacterial effect. Conclusion:  These dressings are relatively safe, biocompatible, and can improve patient comfort. However, their effectiveness depends greatly on the accurate selection of the dressing type according to wound characteristics. Training for healthcare workers in dressing selection and further research on the development of innovative materials, such as bioactiveloaded dressings, are recommended.
