Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent anemia remains a significant public health concern affecting physical growth, cognitive performance, and long-term productivity. Despite ongoing school-based iron supplementation programs, preventive behaviors remain suboptimal. Behavioral determinants, particularly within the Knowledge Attitude Practice (KAP) framework, may explain this gap. This study aimed to identify factors associated with anemia preventive behavior among adolescents and to determine which behavioral determinant independently predicts preventive practice. Research Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 84 12th-grade students in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected using a validated 15-item KAP questionnaire adapted from FAO guidelines. Descriptive statistics were applied, followed by Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors, with p < 0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance. Results: Most respondents demonstrated good knowledge (89.3%), positive attitudes (91.7%), and good preventive practices (70.2%). Bivariate analysis showed that attitude was significantly associated with preventive practice (p = 0.012), whereas knowledge was not (p = 0.293). Multivariate analysis confirmed that attitude remained the only independent predictor (OR = 6.624; p = 0.033). Adolescents with positive attitudes were 6.6 times more likely to demonstrate good preventive behavior. Conclusion: Attitude was independently associated with anemia-preventive behavior, whereas knowledge alone did not significantly influence practice. These findings imply that school-based and nursing interventions should prioritize strengthening positive attitudes and motivational engagement to promote sustainable anemia prevention behaviors.

Abstract

Earthquakes can result in various types of injury or injury to the victims. The most common injuries are bruises or abrasions, followed by lacerations, and fractures.This article aims to review the current evidence on wound care management post earthquake. The literature search conducted a scoping review was to use the PRISMA guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook. We conducted a scoping review in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley, Proquest, dan juga EBSCHOST. Searching terms included ―Wound Care Management‖ and ―Injury‖ and ―Earthquake‖ were used. Inclusion criteria Full text, publication of the last 10 years and in English. A total of 10 artikel was selected in the analysis. Article discusses wound care management. We discussed the issue of wound care management after the occurrence of an earthquake disaster related to the type of injury or trauma, how the evacuation process, the methods used in wound management, and preventing complications. This review specifies a summary of wound care management post earthquake. Type injuty or trauma and the methods used in the management of post-earthquake wound care.

Abstract

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) remains a major global health problem, characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates. HF imposes a substantial burden on healthcare systems due to high rates of hospitalizations and the need for intensive medical care. Nurse-led interventions have been increasingly recognized for their potential to improve patient outcomes across various healthcare settings Objectives: This article aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led intervention to improve the quality of life and reduce readmission rates in patients with heart failure. Methods: This study used the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Elements for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework. Searches for primary studies in any language were conducted in electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and Scopus. The search began on July 30, 2025, and was updated on August 28, 2025. Articles were assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Scale (ROB 2.0). Results: Five articles were included in this scoping review. Nurses provide tailored education that promotes medication adherence, lifestyle modification, and symptom monitoring, which together enhance self-care behavior and patient empowerment. Nurse-led interventions appear most effective at enhancing QoL, while their impact on rehospitalization depends on the intervention’s timing, duration, and intensity. Nurse-led interventions should be integrated into routine HF management, particularly during transitional care following hospital discharge, when patients are most vulnerable to readmission Conclusion: Nurse-led interventions improve QoL and show potential to reduce rehospitalization among HF patients.
