Abstract

Postoperative wound care for Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) and Open Reduction External Fixation (OREF) is a core competency in medical–surgical nursing. However, access to task‑specific and affordable simulators remains limited, particularly in low‑resource educational settings. Low‑cost simulation models have been shown to enhance clinical skill acquisition and self‑efficacy among nursing students, yet challenges related to anatomical fidelity and wound realism persist in many existing models. This study aimed to develop and evaluate ORISIM, a low‑cost, context‑specific wound‑care simulator designed for ORIF and OREF postoperative conditions, and to assess its feasibility, usability, and educational value in nursing skills training. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design consisting of five phases: needs identification, prototype design and construction, expert validation, model revision, and preliminary testing. Three experts participated in the validation process: one orthotics–prosthetics specialist and two wound‑care nursing practitioners. Preliminary testing involved 20 undergraduate nursing students who had completed theoretical and demonstrative instruction on wound care. Quantitative data were collected using a modified Michigan Standard Simulation Experience Scale (MiSSES), while qualitative feedback was analyzed thematically. Expert validation indicated that ORISIM was feasible for educational use, with recommendations for improving anatomical fidelity and wound realism. Quantitative findings showed high levels of student acceptance across all MiSSES domains, with mean scores of 4.17 for self‑efficacy, 4.23 for educational value, and 4.10 for simulation realism. Students reported increased confidence in performing wound‑care procedures and highlighted the simulator’s usability and durability. Qualitative analysis produced three themes: wound realism, material characteristics, and educational value with ease of use. Although some students noted limitations in anatomical detail and material elasticity, ORISIM was widely regarded as beneficial for structured and repetitive skills practice. In conclusion, ORISIM demonstrates strong potential as a cost‑effective and educationally relevant simulator for ORIF and OREF wound‑care training. While improvements in anatomical fidelity are warranted, the model effectively enhances students’ self‑efficacy and supports foundational clinical skill development. Future research should incorporate experimental or quasi‑experimental designs to further evaluate ORISIM’s effectiveness and compare its performance with commercial simulators.Keywords: wound‑care simulation; nursing education; low‑cost simulator; clinical skills training; self‑efficacy

Abstract

Adolescent pregnancy remains a major reproductive health problem worldwide and is associated with substantial health and social consequences for both mother and child. Globally, a considerable proportion of girls give birth before the age of 18, and Indonesia continues to report relatively high rates. This study aimed to analyze the determinants and consequences of adolescent pregnancy based on evidence from recent studies. This study used a literature review design. Articles were retrieved from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using Boolean search strategies. Publications from 2021–2025 were screened using predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in eligible studies for synthesis. The findings indicate that adolescent pregnancy is influenced by multiple interacting factors, including low education, limited reproductive health knowledge, poor socioeconomic conditions, early marriage, family and peer influence, media exposure, and risky behaviors such as substance use. Adolescent pregnancy is also associated with adverse outcomes, including maternal complications, low birth weight, prematurity, and increased risk of stunting, as well as social consequences such as school dropout.In conclusion, adolescent pregnancy is shaped by complex structural and behavioral determinants. Comprehensive prevention strategies involving early reproductive health education, youth-friendly health services, family and school involvement, and policies addressing education and social protection are essential to reduce its incidence.Keywords: adolescent pregnancy; determinants; reproductive health; adolescent

Abstract

Congestive heart failure (CHF) secondary to three‑vessel coronary artery disease (CAD 3VD) is characterized by high morbidity and markedly reduced functional capacity, highlighting the importance of effective and individualized rehabilitation strategies. Exercise‑based cardiac rehabilitation, particularly during Phase II, plays a critical role in restoring functional performance, improving cardiovascular efficiency, and enhancing quality of life in high‑risk cardiac patients. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of a Phase II cardiac rehabilitation program incorporating structured walking exercises in a patient with CHF and CAD 3VD. A single‑case design was applied to a 54‑year‑old male diagnosed with CHF and CAD 3VD. The intervention consisted of ten supervised sessions of moderate‑intensity aerobic exercise using track and treadmill walking. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Six‑Minute Walk Test (6MWT), metabolic equivalents (METs), heart rate–walking speed index (HRWSI), vital signs, and perceived exertion. Hemodynamic responses were monitored throughout all sessions to ensure safety and tolerance. Following completion of the program, the patient demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in functional and aerobic capacity. The 6MWT distance increased from 428 to 535 meters, METs improved from 4.8 to 5.7, and HRWSI increased from 1.21 to 1.50. These gains were accompanied by stable hemodynamic parameters and reduced perceived exertion, indicating enhanced cardiovascular efficiency and improved exercise tolerance. In conclusion, supervised, progressive walking exercise within a Phase II cardiac rehabilitation program is safe, feasible, and effective for improving functional capacity in high‑risk patients with CHF and CAD 3VD. The observed improvements support the integration of structured walking modalities as a core component of individualized cardiac rehabilitation.Keywords: congestive heart failure; cardiac rehabilitation phase II; walking exercise; aerobic capacity; physiotherapy

Abstract

Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive tumor in which immunohistochemical (IHC) evaluation is often hindered by endogenous melanin, whose brown pigment mimics DAB staining and may lead to false‑positive interpretation. An effective melanin bleaching method is therefore essential to ensure accurate IHC assessment. This study aimed to determine the optimal melanin bleaching protocol for melanoma, particularly for IHC analysis. This preliminary laboratory study used eighteen malignant melanoma samples. Initial bleaching with 0.5% H₂O₂ in PBS or Tris-HCl at 80°C for 4–12 minutes caused marked tissue damage. A second protocol using 5% H₂O₂ in PBS at 50°C for 60, 90, and 120 minutes was tested, followed by a 24‑hour room‑temperature protocol. Tissue integrity, bleaching efficacy, and subsequent HMB45 IHC staining were evaluated. High‑temperature bleaching (protocol 1) produced significant morphological deterioration. Bleaching with 5% H₂O₂ at 50°C effectively removed melanin while preserving tissue structure at 60 and 90 minutes, whereas 120 minutes caused tissue detachment. Room‑temperature bleaching for 24 hours also reduced melanin but resulted in partial tissue damage. HMB45 staining remained strong and interpretable after bleaching at 50°C for 60 and 90 minutes. In conclusion, the most favorable balance between melanin removal, tissue preservation, and IHC quality was achieved using 5% H₂O₂ in PBS at 50°C for 60 minutes. This protocol is recommended as the optimal melanin bleaching method for malignant melanoma tissue.Keywords: melanin bleaching; immunohistochemistry; malignant melanoma

Abstract

Tuberculosis remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, with a substantial disease burden particularly affecting the productive-age population. Beyond biological susceptibility, socio-economic disparities are recognized as key contributors to the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis. However, comprehensive analyses using nationally representative data remain limited. This study aimed to examine the association between socio-economic determinants and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis among adults in Indonesia. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using combined secondary data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey and the National Socio-Economic Survey, comprising a total of 174,062 respondents. Socio-economic variables included educational level, income, housing density, housing environmental quality, and access to health services, while age, sex, place of residence, and occupation were treated as confounding variables. Data analysis consisted of univariate procedures, bivariate tests using Chi-square and Mann–Whitney, and multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression. The findings indicated that low educational level (p<0.001; OR=1.8), low income (p=0.042; OR=0.8), high housing density (p=0.009; OR=1.4), male sex (p<0.001; OR=1.8), urban residence (p=0.029; OR=1.4), age (p<0.001; OR=1.02), and occupation (p=0.009) were significantly associated with pulmonary TB incidence. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that socio-economic and demographic factors play a substantial role in the occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Indonesia. Strengthening TB control efforts through socio-economic improvement, enhanced educational attainment, and targeted promotive and preventive interventions for high-risk groups is essential to reduce disease transmission.Keywords: tuberculosis; socio-economic factors; adult

Abstract

Periodontitis is a progressive inflammatory condition affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, often originating from untreated gingival inflammation and potentially leading to tooth loss. This condition represents a significant public health concern, particularly among older adults, due to its impact on oral function, quality of life, and overall health. Limited knowledge regarding oral health is considered a critical contributing factor, as it may hinder preventive behaviors and timely treatment-seeking, thereby increasing the risk of disease progression. Therefore, understanding the role of knowledge in the occurrence of periodontitis is essential. This study aimed to examine the relationship between elderly knowledge of oral health and the incidence of periodontitis. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 48 elderly participants aged 60–80 years selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through questionnaires to assess knowledge and clinical observation to determine the presence of periodontitis. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had low levels of oral health knowledge, and more than half of the participants experienced periodontitis. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant association between knowledge and the incidence of periodontitis (p < 0.05), indicating that lower knowledge levels were correlated with a higher occurrence of the disease. This finding suggests that knowledge plays an important role in influencing oral health status among the elderly. In conclusion, knowledge is a determinant factor in the occurrence of periodontitis among older adults, where inadequate knowledge is associated with an increased risk of the disease.Keywords: periodontitis; knowledge; elderly
