Abstract

Nursing services in home healthcare are becoming increasingly important as the number of patients requiring long-term care and post-inpatient care increases. The standard of nursing care delivered at home is crucial for the well-being of both patients and their families. This study investigates how health professionals perceive the creation of quality nursing services in home healthcare. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative approach with an in-depth interview method. Ten health professionals, including nurses, doctors, and home health care managers, were selected as participants through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis methods to identify relevant themes and subthemes. Results: The results show that the quality of nursing services at home is created through several key factors: competency and training of nurses, effective communication between health teams, involvement of families in care, availability of resources, and clear management and policy support. Nurse competence and training are considered the most crucial factors affecting service quality. In addition, good communication between healthcare professionals and patients' families is also regarded as essential to creating a holistic and patient-centered service. Conclusions: The quality of nursing services in home health care depends on various factors, including nurse competency, effective communication, and family involvement. Managerial support and supportive policies are also essential to ensure that nurses can deliver optimal care. This research provides valuable insight for developing training programs and policies to enhance the quality of home nursing services.

Abstract

The rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular conditions poses a significant public health challenge, particularly among the productive age population. Early detection is essential to prevent complications and reduce the disease burden. However, limited human resources in primary healthcare often hinder optimal screening efforts. This community service initiative aimed to optimize the role of health volunteers in the early detection of NCDs through community nursing education. The program included participatory training sessions covering educational modules, practical simulations of blood pressure and glucose monitoring, and the development of effective health communication skills. Post-training evaluations significantly improved the volunteers’ knowledge and competencies in conducting independent NCD screenings. The outcomes suggest that community-based educational interventions can empower health volunteers as frontline agents in promotive and preventive healthcare. This model holds promise for sustainable community engagement in NCD control strategies.

One type of compress that can be used to lower body temperature in children with fever is tepid sponge. The purpose of Community Service is for proper handling in lowering children's fever with compress techniques. The implementation method in Community Service activities is health education about proper handling to lower children's fever with block compress techniques in superficial blood vessels and with wiping techniques in implementation using warm water in children. The results of community service obtained an increase in parental knowledge very well about proper handling to lower children's fever in meeting the need for comfort and maintaining normal temperature. The conclusion is that Typhoid fever is an acute infectious disease that usually affects the digestive tract with symptoms of fever for more than one week, digestive disorders, and impaired consciousness, Fever is rhythmic, usually decreases in the morning, and increases in the afternoon and evening.

Abstract

Introduction: Handwashing with soap (HWWS) is a key indicator of clean and healthy living behavior and plays a crucial role in preventing infectious diseases among adolescents. Schools are strategic settings for health promotion, and educational media such as audiovisual materials and posters are widely used to improve students’ knowledge and hygiene practices. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health education using audiovisual media and posters in increasing adolescents’ knowledge of HWWS. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 37 eighth-grade students at SMPN 5 Kendari. Participants received health education delivered through audiovisual media and posters. Knowledge was assessed using pretest and posttest questionnaires. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, including the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test due to non-normal data distribution. Results: The findings showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 56.89 to 63.78 after exposure to audiovisual media, and from 57.43 to 74.46 after exposure to poster media. The Wilcoxon test indicated significant differences between pretest and posttest scores for both press (p = 0.000), confirming the effectiveness of both approaches. Poster media demonstrated a greater improvement in students’ HWWS knowledge compared to audiovisual media. Conclusion: Health education using both audiovisual and poster media effectively increased adolescents’ HWWS knowledge, with poster media showing superior impact. These results highlight the importance of utilizing a variety of educational tools in school-based hygiene promotion. Schools are encouraged to integrate both media regularly in health education activities and collaborate with local health centers to promote continuous HWWS. Future studies should explore more advanced audiovisual content and evaluate long-term behavioral changes among students.
