Campus security plays a strategic role as the vanguard in maintaining security and peace, as well as providing first aid in the event of such incidents. Purpose: Aims of this study is to explore and understand in depth the experience of security officers at the Surakarta Ministry of Health Polytechnic Campus as lay helpers in providing first aid and cardiac arrest treatment for accident victims. Methods: This study used were qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data analysis used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The research participants consisted of 5 security officers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews Results: produced five main themes, namely: (1) Immediate first aid measures for victims, (2) Providing first aid according to ability, (3) Limited knowledge and skills in first aid, (4) Helping according to the dictates of conscience as a form of devotion and pride, (5) The need for routine training and coaching. The limitations include Reliance on interview data based on participants' subjective experiences, which has the potential to introduce recall bias and social-desirability bias in describing first aid skills and actions and cardiac arrest management. Conclusion: The experience of security personnel shows the importance of providing first aid skills based on ongoing training so that they are able to act quickly, appropriately, and confidently in emergencies in a health education environment.

Abstract

Introduction: Work-related muscle pain is a common health problem among beauty clinic workers due to prolonged standing and repetitive movements. Stretching exercises are recognized as a low-cost, non-pharmacological intervention for preventing and reducing musculoskeletal discomfort. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of supervised and unsupervised stretching programs in reducing muscle pain among beauty clinic workers.   Method: A quasi-experimental study employing a two-group pretest–posttest design was conducted with 84 participants recruited from two beauty clinics in Pasuruan, Indonesia. Participant selection was based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria established by the researchers. At Clinic A, participants received supervised stretching exercises facilitated by a community health nurse, whereas at Clinic B, the same stretching routine was carried out independently using printed guidelines. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) both before and after a two-week intervention period. Data analysis was performed with the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and the Mann–Whitney U Test.   Result: Both groups experienced a significant reduction in muscle pain after the intervention (p < 0.001). However, Clinic A showed a greater improvement in pain reduction compared to Clinic B (p = 0.025), indicating the added benefit of professional supervision.   Conclusion: Stretching is an effective strategy for reducing work-related muscle pain, and supervision by community health nurses enhances its effectiveness. This finding supports the integration of structured stretching programs into workplace health promotion, particularly in service sectors with high physical demands. This highlights the vital role of community health nurses in workplace musculoskeletal prevention and the importance of integrating nurse-led initiatives into occupational health programs.   Keywords: Muscle pain, stretching exercise, workplace intervention, community health nursing; beauty clinic workers.

Abstract

Anxiety and labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor are common physiological and psychological responses among primiparous women and may adversely affect labor outcomes if not properly managed. Increased anxiety can intensify pain perception through sympathetic activation and catecholamine release. Non-pharmacological interventions, including stimulation of acupressure points such as GB 21 Jianjing and LI 4 Hegu, may help reduce these responses. This study aimed to determine the effect of acupressure at GB 21 (Jianjing) and LI 4 (Hegu) on anxiety and labor pain in primiparous women. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design was conducted among 30 primiparous women in the active phase of labor selected through purposive sampling. Inclusion criteria were singleton pregnancy, 37–42 weeks’ gestation, cervical dilatation 4–7 cm, cephalic presentation, absence of obstetric complications, and willingness to participate. Women with high-risk conditions or those who had received prior pharmacological analgesia were excluded. Anxiety was measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), and pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of p 0.05. Before intervention, 76.7% of respondents experienced severe anxiety and 43.3% reported moderate pain. After acupressure, 43.3% reported mild anxiety and 50% mild pain. Statistical analysis showed significant reductions in both anxiety and pain (p 0.001). Acupressure at GB 21 and LI 4 significantly reduced anxiety and labor pain in primiparous women and may serve as a complementary intervention in maternity care. Further randomized controlled trials with larger samples are recommended.
