Introduction: The growing popularity of social media has positioned influencers as important agents in shaping adolescents’ attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions toward reproductive health topics. Adolescence is a critical developmental period when understanding and confidence regarding reproductive issues are often limited. This study aimed to analyze the influence of exposure to influencer-generated content on adolescents’ positive emotions and self-confidence in the context of reproductive health education. Methods: A quantitative quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 100 students, divided equally into intervention and control groups. Data collection instruments included the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) to assess positive emotions and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to measure self-confidence. The intervention group received reproductive health education through influencer-created social media content, while the control group did not receive any exposure. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test and the Independent T-Test. Results: The findings showed significant improvements in the intervention group across all variables: reproductive health knowledge (p=0.000), self-confidence (p=0.000), and positive emotions (p=0.000). In contrast, the control group exhibited no significant changes, indicating that influencer-based education effectively enhanced adolescents' cognitive and psychological aspects. Conclusion: Exposure to accurate, empathetic, relatable influencer content significantly improved adolescents’ emotional engagement and confidence. Therefore, collaboration among health educators, professionals, and social media influencers is recommended to develop credible, appealing, and youth-centered digital reproductive health communication strategies.

Introduction: Febrile illness is a common clinical condition in children, often caused by viral or bacterial infections, and if not properly managed, can lead to serious complications such as seizures, dehydration, and altered consciousness. While pharmacological treatments like antipyretics are commonly used, non-pharmacological approaches like warm water compresses can be safe and effective alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of warm water compresses in reducing body temperature in febrile children. Methods: This descriptive case study involved two pediatric patients aged 1 and 3 years diagnosed with febris. Each child received warm water compress treatment twice daily for three consecutive days. The compress was applied to specific areas (forehead, armpits, and groin) for 15–20 minutes using a towel soaked in 37–40°C water. Body temperature was measured with a digital thermometer before and after each intervention session. Observations also included behavioral responses and parent interviews to assess comfort and satisfaction. Results: The intervention demonstrated a significant decrease in body temperature among both patients. On average, there was a temperature reduction of 0.4°C to 1.0°C after each session, with a consistent downward trend over three days. Both children exhibited improved comfort and less irritability, and parents expressed satisfaction with the method as a supportive home care technique. Conclusion: Warm water compresses are effective as a non-pharmacological intervention in lowering febrile temperature in children. The method is safe, simple, and well-accepted, making it a viable option in clinical and home settings. Healthcare providers and parents are encouraged to utilize warm compresses to respond to febrile episodes, reducing over-reliance on medications and promoting safe, supportive care practices for children

Introduction: Healthcare inequities remain common in rural communities despite national health financing programs designed to achieve universal health coverage. Geographic barriers, limited healthcare services, and administrative challenges continue to affect healthcare accessibility. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in rural districts of Eastern Indonesia from January to April 2026 involving 348 respondents selected through multistage cluster sampling. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression with adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: More than half of respondents (56.9%) experienced healthcare access difficulties despite active insurance enrollment. Limited healthcare service availability was the strongest predictor of healthcare barriers (AOR = 3.46; 95% CI: 2.01–5.95; p < 0.001). Geographic distance, low income, transportation problems, and administrative complexity were also significantly associated with healthcare inequities. Conclusion: National health financing policies have improved financial coverage but remain insufficient to eliminate rural healthcare disparities. Strengthening healthcare infrastructure, transportation systems, and governance mechanisms is necessary to improve equitable healthcare access.

Introduction: Point-of-care testing (POCT) for blood glucose measurement is increasingly used because it provides rapid results for clinical decision-making. However, its analytical performance must be evaluated before routine implementation. This study aimed to compare the precision, accuracy, and agreement of the Easy Touch and Emtech BG Max 1 POCT devices with the Glucose Oxidase–Peroxidase (GOD-PAP) reference method for blood glucose measurement. Research Methodology: An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at the Buton Tengah Regional General Hospital Laboratory, Indonesia. Fifty venous blood samples were analyzed using the Easy Touch and Emtech BG Max 1 POCT devices and the GOD-PAP laboratory method as the reference standard. Precision was evaluated using the coefficient of variation (CV), accuracy was assessed through percentage bias and compliance with ISO 15197:2013, and agreement was determined using nonparametric Bland–Altman analysis. Results: The CV values were 5.54% for Easy Touch, 1.76% for Emtech BG Max 1, and 0.80% for the GOD-PAP method. The mean bias was 7.74% for Easy Touch and −5.78% for Emtech BG Max 1. Compliance with ISO 15197:2013 was achieved in 62% of Easy Touch measurements and 90% of Emtech BG Max 1 measurements. Bland–Altman analysis demonstrated good agreement between both POCT devices and the reference method. However, Emtech BG Max 1 showed narrower limits of agreement and closer agreement with GOD-PAP than Easy Touch. Conclusion: Both POCT devices demonstrated acceptable analytical agreement with the GOD-PAP method for blood glucose testing. However, Emtech BG Max 1 exhibited superior precision, lower analytical bias, and higher compliance with ISO 15197:2013, indicating greater reliability for routine clinical use. Periodic analytical performance evaluation is recommended to maintain the quality and accuracy of POCT-based blood glucose testing.

Introduction: Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease frequently accompanied by acute pain, particularly headache and neck pain, which may reduce patient comfort and interfere with daily activities. Acupressure is a non-pharmacological nursing intervention that may support pain relief and promote relaxation in patients with hypertension. This study aimed to describe the application of acupressure management in reducing acute pain among hypertensive patients. Research Methodology: This study used a descriptive case study design involving two hypertensive patients with acute pain nursing problems. The intervention consisted of acupressure therapy applied to PC6 (Neiguan), LI11 (Quchi), LI4 (Hegu), GB20 (Fengchi), and LV3 (Taichong) acupoints for five consecutive days. Data were collected through interviews, observation, physical examination, blood pressure measurement, and pain intensity assessment using the Numerical Rating Scale. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing clinical responses before and after the intervention. Because of the case study design and small sample size, odds ratio, beta coefficient, relative risk, 95% confidence interval, and p-value were not calculated. Results: Both patients showed gradual improvement after receiving acupressure therapy. In the first patient, pain intensity decreased from NRS 6 to 1, while in the second patient, pain intensity decreased from NRS 5 to 1. Blood pressure also showed a downward trend, accompanied by increased comfort and relaxation during the intervention period. Conclusion: Acupressure may serve as a feasible complementary nursing intervention for managing acute pain in hypertensive patients. Further studies with larger samples and controlled designs are needed to confirm its clinical effectiveness.
