Abstract

The presence of home care can help the community in caring for the elderly. However, on the one hand, the elderly often feel left behind, so they then need social support from their families. Then social support will also influence home care services. This research will be carried out to look at how social support can have an impact on home care services in the elderly community. A qualitative approach will be used in this research. The data used in this study comes from various research results and previous studies, which still have relevance to the contents of this research. The results of this study then found that the provision of social support can meet the physical and psychological needs of the elderly at home care. Apart from the elderly, social support from the family can also increase nurses’ performance and reduce stress and burnout. Abstrak: Kehadiran home care dapat membantu masyarakat dalam merawat lansia.

Abstract

Anemia prevalence among adolescent girls is significantly higher compared to boys, primarily due to menstruation and increased iron requirements during growth. This condition negatively affects immunity, concentration, academic performance, physical fitness, and productivity, and poses long-term health risks, particularly during future pregnancies. In Bone Regency, adolescent anemia rates remain high despite the government’s iron supplementation program. This community service program aimed to implement research findings on using dates (Phoenix dactylifera) to increase hemoglobin levels and address anemia among adolescent girls. The activity involved health education on anemia prevention and the daily provision of 100 grams of dates (7–8 pieces) for seven consecutive days during menstruation. The program was conducted through observation, counseling sessions, and hemoglobin monitoring before and after the intervention. The rationale for using dates is based on their high iron and nutrient content, which supports hemoglobin synthesis naturally. The targeted participants were adolescent girls from the community surrounding Lapatau Stadium, Bone Regency. Expected outcomes included increased knowledge regarding anemia prevention, improvement in hemoglobin levels, and the promotion of alternative nutritional interventions for anemia management. Monitoring and evaluation were conducted by measuring hemoglobin levels post-intervention to assess effectiveness. The program also aims to disseminate results through a SINTA 5-indexed journal publication, providing evidence-based recommendations for integrating date consumption into adolescent nutrition programs. This initiative highlights the potential of locally acceptable, culturally relevant food-based strategies to complement existing public health interventions in reducing anemia prevalence among teenage girls.

Abstract

Infant mortality rates remain a serious public health issue, particularly in remote areas of Indonesia that face limitations in terms of facilities, infrastructure, and resources. This situation is exacerbated by difficult access to transportation, a shortage of health workers, and low levels of health literacy among the population. This article aims to examine various innovations in maternal and child health services that can contribute to reducing the IMR in remote areas. The method used is a literature review of recent studies discussing the implementation of innovative strategies, including the use of digital technology, strengthening the role of local healthcare workers, and community involvement in health programs. The findings indicate that the implementation of telemedicine, enhancing the capacity of village midwives, providing emergency transportation, and community-based health education have proven effective in improving access to and the quality of healthcare services. These findings underscore that innovative strategies tailored to local social and cultural conditions hold significant potential for sustainably reducing infant mortality rates in remote areas.

Abstract

Introduction: Nutritional status in children under five remains a critical public health concern, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Socioeconomic and educational factors play a pivotal role in determining nutritional outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic status, parental education, and the nutritional status of children aged five and under. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 150 children aged 6–59 months. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing parental education, household income, and other demographic factors. Nutritional status was assessed using anthropometric indicators, including weight-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height, based on the WHO growth standards. Data analysis used chi-square and logistic regression to identify significant associations. Results: The study found that 32% of children were undernourished, with 18% stunted and 14% underweight. Children from low-income families and those whose mothers had only a primary education were more likely to experience malnutrition (p < 0.05). Maternal education emerged as the strongest predictor of a child’s nutritional status after controlling for income and occupation. Conclusion: Socioeconomic and educational factors are significant determinants of nutritional status in children under the age of five. Improving parental education, especially among mothers, and addressing poverty are essential to combating malnutrition. Strengthen community-based nutrition education programs, promote women’s education, and develop poverty reduction strategies to ensure equitable access to nutritious food and healthcare services.

Abstract

Introduction: Emesis gravidarum is one of the most common discomforts experienced by pregnant women during the first trimester, characterized by nausea and vomiting that may disrupt daily activities and nutritional intake. Hormonal changes, particularly increased levels of estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), play a significant role in the onset of these symptoms. Ginger is widely recognized as a natural remedy with antiemetic properties, thanks to its active compounds, including gingerol, shogaol, and essential oils, which help suppress the vomiting reflex and promote gastrointestinal comfort. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ginger drink in reducing emesis gravidarum among pregnant women in the first trimester. Methods: This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The study was conducted in the working area of BLUD UPT Puskesmas Cina, involving 25 pregnant women in their first trimester who experienced emesis gravidarum. Respondents received a ginger drink intervention, and measurements of nausea and vomiting frequency and severity were collected before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using statistical tests to determine significant differences. Results: The findings revealed a significant reduction in nausea and vomiting after regular consumption of a ginger drink. Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-intervention scores. The results support the alternative hypothesis that ginger drink effectively reduces symptoms of emesis gravidarum. Conclusion: Ginger drink is proven to be an effective, safe, and accessible non-pharmacological intervention for reducing emesis gravidarum in first-trimester pregnant women. Its use can serve as an alternative therapy before pharmacological treatment, supporting maternal comfort and well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Perineal wounds are among the most common complications experienced by postpartum mothers, contributing to discomfort, delayed recovery, and increased risk of puerperal infection. One non-pharmacological treatment widely used in Indonesian traditional medicine is betel leaf (Piper betle) decoction, which contains antibacterial, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory compounds that may support tissue healing. Despite its extensive use, scientific evidence regarding its effectiveness in perineal wound recovery remains limited, particularly within primary healthcare settings. This study aimed to analyze the effect of betel leaf decoction on perineal wound healing among postpartum mothers in the working area of BLUD UPT Puskesmas Cina. Methods: This quantitative research applied a pre-experimental posttest-only control group design. The study involved 44 postpartum mothers with first- and second-degree perineal wounds selected through purposive sampling. The intervention group received betel leaf decoction treatment twice daily for four days, while the control group received standard postpartum care. Wound healing was assessed using the REEDA scale (Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, Approximation). Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate techniques to compare healing outcomes between groups. Results: The findings showed that mothers who received betel leaf decoction demonstrated significantly faster wound healing, as reflected by lower REEDA scores compared to the control group. Improvements were observed in reduced redness, edema, and better wound approximation within the first week postpartum. Conclusion: Betel leaf decoction is effective in accelerating perineal wound healing among postpartum mothers. Its traditional use is supported by empirical evidence, indicating potential as a safe, accessible, and affordable complementary therapy in maternal care.

Abstract

Introduction: Pathological jaundice remains a common neonatal condition characterized by an excessive rise in serum bilirubin, which may lead to severe complications such as acute bilirubin encephalopathy and kernicterus if not promptly treated. Phototherapy is the primary non-invasive intervention used to lower bilirubin levels by converting unconjugated bilirubin into water-soluble forms. Increasing cases of neonatal jaundice reported at Tenriawaru Hospital highlight the need to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of phototherapy within this setting. This study aims to determine the efficacy of phototherapy in reducing bilirubin levels among newborns diagnosed with pathological jaundice at Tenriawaru Hospital, Bone. Methods: This quantitative descriptive study used secondary data obtained from neonatal medical records. Variables assessed included gestational age, initial bilirubin levels, duration of phototherapy, and post-therapy bilirubin levels. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test at the 0.05 significance level to identify associations between clinical factors and phototherapy outcomes. Results: A total of 84 newborns with pathological jaundice underwent phototherapy. There was a statistically significant reduction in bilirubin levels after phototherapy (p = 0.000), indicating a strong therapeutic effect. The duration of phototherapy and the initial bilirubin concentration were found to influence treatment effectiveness, with more prolonged therapy associated with greater reductions in bilirubin. Conclusion: Phototherapy is highly effective in reducing serum bilirubin levels among newborns with pathological jaundice at Tenriawaru Hospital. Timely initiation and adequate duration of phototherapy are critical for preventing complications and improving neonatal outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Ship crews are highly susceptible of HIV infection. Masculinity (most of crews were men), highly mobile (less peer intervention), ease of commercial sexual intercourse, and emotional distress (limited working space and interaction) are the main drivers that tend to exacerbate crew's vulnerability to high-risk sexual behaviors. However, understanding their structural vulnerabilities (in socio-behavioral scope) remain underexplored. This study aims to examine the socioal, cultural, economic, and occupational factors that influence risky sexual behavior among ship crew members (ABK) in Ambon Port. with particular attention to masculinity norms, mobility, transactional sex, and emotional needs. Methods: Qualitative research approach was employed as the analysis basis of the analysis. Data were gathered using semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 25 male ship crews, recruited through snowball sampling. Pre-determined theories (i.e. hegemonic masculinity theory, sexual economy theory, and mobility and health risk frameworks) were utilized as scoping guide to analyze data thematically, focusing on the structural and psychosocial determinants of sexual risk behavior. Results: Lack of knowledge were not a factor to risky sexual behavior as many informants were aware of HIV risks. On the other hand, the behavior apparently embedded in hypermasculine peer cultures (e.g. normalizing promiscuity, stigmatize prophylactic use, and enforce conformity through social ostracism and marginalization. Crew's financial leverage enables them to have commercial sexual intercourse throughout ship's docking at a port. In addition, permissive culture, identity shifting, and emotional distress (e.g. loneliness, absence of peer-led moral control) alleviates as a coping mechanism. Conclusion: To address sexual risk behavior among ship crew members structural occupational health interventions are needed, which target the most well-heared crew to build community peer moral control. Our analysis highlights the importance of educate maritime workers via Port Health Officers, since the behavior done within a port or while the ship's docked. Site-specific interventions at ports should be the first mitigation to prevent risky behavior or at the very least, facilitate moral adherence to 'safety' practices.
