Abstract

Nosocomial infections remain a significant problem in the healthcare system due to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is a key strategy in infection prevention and patient safety improvement. This study aims to analyze the role of education and training in PPE use as a strategy to improve patient safety in preventing nosocomial infections among healthcare workers. This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach conducted at Madising Pinrang Hospital from December 2025–January 2026. The study sample consisted of 35 healthcare workers selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive, bivariate, and logistic regression analyses. The results showed that knowledge, training in PPE use, and availability of PPE were significantly associated with PPE use, while attitudes did not show a significant relationship. PPE availability was the dominant factor influencing PPE use. Education, training, and facility support are important strategies to improve compliance with PPE use in preventing nosocomial infections.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension remains a major public health problem and contributes substantially to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Non-pharmacological interventions, including structured physical exercise, are increasingly recommended as complementary strategies for blood pressure control. Hypertension exercise has been proposed as a feasible and low-cost approach; however, evidence regarding its clinical impact and response discrimination remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure following a hypertension exercise intervention and to assess the magnitude and discriminative performance of blood pressure reduction among adult participants. Methods: .This quasi-experimental study employed a single-group pre–post design to evaluate the effects of a hypertension exercise intervention on blood pressure. A total of 27 adult participants with elevated blood pressure were included. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured before and after the intervention. Paired-sample t-tests were used to assess pre post differences. Effect sizes were calculated using Cohen’s d to determine the magnitude of change. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to evaluate the ability of systolic blood pressure reduction to discriminate clinically meaningful responses ( 5 mmHg). Results: Following the intervention, mean systolic blood pressure decreased significantly, accompanied by a significant reduction in diastolic blood pressure (p <0.001 for both). Effect size analysis demonstrated a large effect for systolic blood pressure reduction and a moderate effect for diastolic blood pressure reduction. ROC analysis showed good discriminative performance, with a conservative area under the curve indicating that systolic blood pressure reduction was able to identify clinically meaningful responses. Conclusion: Hypertension exercise was associated with statistically and clinically meaningful reductions in blood pressure among adult participants. Although causal inference is limited by the quasi-experimental design, these findings support the potential role of hypertension exercise as a non-pharmacological strategy for blood pressure management. Further controlled studies with larger samples and longer follow up are warranted.
