<![CDATA[Premature infants are at high risk of experiencing physiological instability due to organ immaturity, especially in the regulation of body temperature, respiration, and the cardiovascular system. One of the main interventions in the care of premature infants is the use of an incubator. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of incubator use on the physiological stability of premature infants. The research method used was a quantitative study with an analytical observational design. The subjects were premature infants treated in the perinatology ward. The physiological parameters observed included body temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate. The results showed that the use of an incubator significantly helped maintain the physiological stability of premature infants. Thus, an incubator is an effective and essential tool in the care of premature infants to improve physiological stability and prevent further complications.]]>

<![CDATA[Infertility is a reproductive health problem that impacts the biological, psychological, and social aspects of couples of childbearing age (PUS). Various factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), history of infection, hormonal disorders, and lifestyle are suspected to play a role in the occurrence of infertility. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for infertility in couples of childbearing age using a multivariate approach. The study used a case-control design with a sample of 120 respondents (60 infertility cases and 60 fertile controls). Data were collected through structured interviews and medical record reviews. Analysis was performed using multiple logistic regression to determine the dominant risk factors. The results showed that the wife's age ≥35 years (OR=3.8; p=0.002), a history of reproductive tract infections (OR=4.5; p=0.001), an abnormal BMI (OR=2.9; p=0.010), and the husband's smoking habit (OR=3.2; p=0.005) were significant risk factors for infertility. The dominant factor was a history of reproductive tract infections. It is concluded that infertility is multifactorial and requires a comprehensive approach in its prevention and treatment.]]>

<![CDATA[Handwashing with soap (HWWS) is a clean and healthy lifestyle behavior that is effective in preventing various infectious diseases such as diarrhea and respiratory tract infections. School-age children are a group that is vulnerable to disease due to lack of hygiene practices. Health promotion in schools is an important strategy to improve HWWS behavior in children. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of health promotion on handwashing with soap behavior in school children. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest - posttest approach. The study sample was 60 elementary school students selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation and questionnaires on HWWS behavior before and after health promotion. Data analysis used a paired t- test. The results showed a significant increase in HWWS behavior from an average score of 56.4 ± 9.2 to 78.6 ± 8.5 after the health promotion intervention (p < 0.001). It was concluded that health promotion is effective in improving handwashing with soap behavior in school children.]]>

<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Early pregnancy in adolescents is a health problem influenced by various psychological factors, including self-efficacy and attitude. Self-efficacy plays a role in shaping an individual's belief in their ability to avoid risky behavior, while attitude reflects behavioral tendencies towards reproductive health. This study aims to analyze the role of self-efficacy and attitude in preventing early pregnancy in adolescents through reproductive health education. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach . A sample of 110 respondents was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that self-efficacy (β = 0.45; p < 0.001) and attitude (β = 0.32; p < 0.01) significantly influenced early pregnancy prevention behavior, with self-efficacy as the most dominant factor. Reproductive health education has been shown to improve both variables. In conclusion, increasing self-efficacy and positive attitudes through education is an important strategy in preventing early pregnancy in adolescents.

<![CDATA[Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a public health challenge in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic factors and family nutrition on the incidence of stunting in toddlers. This study design is an observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach, using simulated hypothetical data from 500 households with toddlers aged 24–59 months. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis used multiple logistic regression. The simulation results show that the most influential factors on the incidence of stunting are maternal education level (p<0.01), family income (p<0.05), and toddler energy-protein intake (p<0.01). Toddlers from families with low socioeconomic status have a 3.5 times higher risk of stunting than families with middle to upper economic status. The conclusion of this study is that socioeconomic determinants and family nutrition play an important role in determining the nutritional status of toddlers in Indonesia. Prevention efforts need to be directed at improving nutritional education and family economic empowerment.]]>

<![CDATA[Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common nosocomial infections in ICU patients and has the potential to increase morbidity, mortality, and cost of care. Nurses' compliance with VAP prevention protocols is greatly influenced by their knowledge of ventilators and related nursing practices. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nurses' knowledge of ventilators and their compliance in VAP prevention in the ICU. This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 60 ICU nurses selected purposively in three hospitals in city X. Data were collected using a ventilator knowledge questionnaire and VAP prevention compliance observation. Data analysis used the Pearson correlation test to determine the relationship between knowledge and compliance. The results showed a significant positive relationship between nurses' knowledge level about ventilators and compliance in VAP prevention (r = 0.58; p < 0.01). In conclusion, increasing nurses' knowledge regarding ventilators has an effect on improving VAP prevention compliance. It is recommended that hospitals regularly conduct training and education for ICU nurses to improve nosocomial infection prevention practices.]]>

<![CDATA[Husband's support is a crucial factor influencing a mother's psychological well-being during pregnancy and childbirth. In primigravida mothers, husband's support has been shown to increase self-confidence, reduce anxiety, and contribute to a successful vaginal delivery. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between husband's support and the success of vaginal deliveries in primigravida mothers at Community Health Center X. The study used a cross-sectional design, involving 82 primigravida mothers who gave birth in the last six months. Data were collected using a husband support questionnaire and medical records of the delivery process. Analysis used the Chi- Square test. The study results showed that primigravida mothers who received high levels of husband support were more likely to experience normal delivery than those with low levels of support (p=0.001). Husband support plays a role in reducing anxiety, increasing mental readiness, and strengthening the mother's adaptation to the labor process.]]>
