Abstract

Musculoskeletal complaints are a common occupational health problem experienced by nurses in hospital settings, primarily resulting from patient‑handling activities such as lifting, transferring, and maintaining static or awkward postures for prolonged periods. These conditions have been reported with a very high prevalence and may lead to chronic pain, disability, and increased work absenteeism. The aim of this study was to analyze and identify the risk factors contributing to musculoskeletal complaints among hospital nurses. This study employed a systematic review design by searching the electronic databases ScienceDirect and PubMed using the keywords “risk factors”, “musculoskeletal complaints”, and “hospital nurses”. The inclusion criteria consisted of English‑language articles published between 2020 and 2025, free‑access, and full‑text availability. The study selection process followed the PRISMA protocol, resulting in 15 eligible articles. The review identified 18 risk factors associated with musculoskeletal complaints among hospital nurses: sex, BMI, age, marital status, education level, smoking habits, exercise habits, length of employment, lack of assistance and non‑use of assistive devices, working posture, work unit, work shift, employment status, workload, lack of training, job stress, low social support, and fatigue. The most frequently reported musculoskeletal complaints were located in the lower back, neck, and shoulders. These findings highlight the need for preventive measures such as ergonomics‑related training, stretching exercises, workload regulation, adequate rest periods, and the promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviors.Keywords: risk factors; musculoskeletal complaints; hospital nurses

Abstract

Hearing impairment is known to interfere with communication ability and may lead to social isolation, emotional distress, depression, and anxiety. Cochlear implant technology represents an effective rehabilitative solution for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of cochlear implant use through measurements of hearing thresholds and Categorical Auditory Performance II (CAP II) scores before implantation and after six months and one year of device use. A mixed‑methods design with a pre–post group approach was employed, involving a sample of 60 cochlear implant users with more than six months of device experience who met the predetermined eligibility criteria. Data were obtained from the CMS database, questionnaire administration, and interviews with otolaryngologists, audiologists, therapists, and parents of cochlear implant users. Qualitative analysis demonstrated improvements in hearing thresholds and auditory performance following cochlear implantation, which subsequently enhanced verbal communication abilities. These improvements were associated with consistent device use, auditory listening therapy, and adaptation over time. Statistical analyses using Friedman, Wilcoxon, and multiple linear regression tests revealed a significant improvement in hearing thresholds, decreasing from a mean of 104.42 dB before implantation to 48.42 dB after six months and 33.33 dB after one year of use (p < 0.05). CAP II scores also increased substantially, from a mean of 0.57 pre‑implantation to 3.08 at six months and 4.82 at one year. Age, baseline test results, and therapy consistency were identified as influential factors affecting final outcomes. In conclusion, younger age, consistent cochlear implant use, and adherence to auditory verbal or speech therapy were shown to significantly improve hearing ability and auditory performance in individuals with severe to profound hearing impairment.Keywords: cochlear implant; hearing threshold; categorical auditory performance II

Abstract

Hypertension remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, with a steadily increasing prevalence across age groups, including young adults. Individuals with a family history of hypertension are at heightened risk due to genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors, making early detection of cardiovascular reactivity essential. The cold pressor test is a well‑established physiological stress test used to assess sympathetic activation and acute blood pressure responses. This study aimed to examine the effect of the cold pressor test on systolic and diastolic blood pressure among young adults with a hereditary history of hypertension in Tasikmalaya, West Java. A quasi‑experimental quantitative design with a single‑group pre‑test and post‑test structure was employed. The study was conducted over three months at Universitas Bakti Tunas Husada and involved 178 respondents selected through consecutive sampling based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Blood pressure was measured before and after cold pressor test using a calibrated digital sphygmomanometer, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t‑tests. The findings demonstrated a significant increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure following cold pressor test exposure. Mean systolic pressure rose from 118.80 mmHg to 137.22 mmHg, while mean diastolic pressure increased from 77.70 mmHg to 82.95 mmHg. Both changes were statistically significant (p < 0.05), indicating heightened cardiovascular reactivity among individuals with a family history of hypertension. These results suggest that cold pressor test may serve as a useful early screening tool for identifying young adults at risk of developing hypertension, thereby supporting timely preventive interventions.Keywords: hypertension; cold pressor test; blood pressure reactivity; young adults; family history of hypertension

Abstract

The collection of blood samples for Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening (CHS) is a routine neonatal procedure that induces moderate pain, thereby requiring effective interventions to reduce discomfort. This study aimed to examine the effect of the kangaroo method on neonatal pain scores during CHS blood sampling. A quasi‑experimental design with a posttest‑only control group approach was employed, involving 56 neonates selected through quota sampling at Garuda and Ibrahim Adjie Primary Health Centers in Bandung. Pain intensity was assessed using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and analyzed with an independent sample t‑test. The findings demonstrated a significant difference between groups, with the intervention group showing a mean pain score of 2.83 compared to 5.79 in the control group. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant effect of the kangaroo method in reducing neonatal pain scores (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). The analgesic mechanism of the kangaroo method operates through the modulation of dual neural pathways that inhibit pain impulses, thereby decreasing neonatal pain responses. These results indicate that the kangaroo method is an effective, practical, and safe non‑pharmacological intervention for reducing neonatal pain during CHS blood sampling and can be recommended for routine pain management in neonatal care.Keywords: kangaroo method; pain; congenital hypothyroidism screening

Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that commonly causes pain, stiffness, and decreased functional capacity, particularly in older adults. This study aims to evaluate the effect of physiotherapy interventions in the form of Hip Abductor Strengthening Exercise and Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise on reducing pain and muscle stiffness in patients with grade 3 right knee osteoarthritis. A case report design was used involving a 57-year-old male patient who underwent a physiotherapy program consisting of three treatment sessions, with an exercise dosage of 10 repetitions in 2 sets and a holding time of 5 seconds for each repetition. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), while muscle stiffness was evaluated through measurements of joint range of motion (ROM) to assess joint mobility and Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) to assess muscle strength. The results demonstrated a reduction in pain intensity from NRS 5 to 3, accompanied by an increase in knee flexion range of motion from 80° to 100° and an improvement in muscle strength from MMT grade 2+ to grade 4. These findings indicate a reduction in muscle stiffness and an improvement in the patient’s motor function. In conclusion, the combination of Hip Abductor Strengthening Exercise and Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise is effective in reducing pain and muscle stiffness and in improving knee joint function in patients with grade 3 right knee osteoarthritis.Keywords: knee osteoarthritis; hip abductor strengthening exercise; quadriceps strengthening exercise; pain; muscle stiffness; physiotherapy

Abstract

Low self-esteem is a common negative symptom observed among patients with mental disorders and can significantly affect their self-confidence and social interaction abilities. This condition often leads patients to feel worthless, withdraw from their environment, and experience difficulties in performing daily activities. The purpose of this case report is to describe the application of nursing interventions using the Implementation Strategies (SP1–SP4) to enhance self-esteem in patients experiencing low self-esteem. The method employed is a case report based on the nursing care process, including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects of this report were four patients diagnosed with low self-esteem. The interventions provided included establishing a therapeutic relationship, identifying patients’ positive abilities, and training them in simple activities such as making their beds, washing dishes, and performing light exercise. The interventions were carried out over six days with daily monitoring of patient responses. The results demonstrated a gradual improvement in patients’ self-confidence, ability to maintain eye contact, social interaction, and independence in performing daily activities. In conclusion, the implementation of the SP1–SP4 strategies was effective in improving self-esteem and enhancing independence among patients with low self-esteem.Keywords: low self-esteem; nursing interventions; psychiatric nursing; self-confidence

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus remains a major global health concern, with a substantial proportion of cases remaining undiagnosed. Delayed detection is particularly problematic in countries with high disease burden, where individuals often present only after complications have developed. This study aimed to identify patient-recognizable “warning” indicators observed prior to formal diagnosis to inform health promotion and opportunistic screening strategies. This study used a qualitative case study approach, symptom experiences among previously undiagnosed individuals in Sleman, Yogyakarta, were explored and analyzed. The findings indicated that hypertension, neuropathic complaints (numbness and tingling), excessive daytime sleepiness, and persistent fatigue commonly preceded diagnosis. These manifestations function as pragmatic screening prompts when interpreted alongside established metabolic risk factors. In conclusion, diagnostic delay is effectively reduced by integrating symptom awareness into risk-based screening and structured referral pathways. Formalizing everyday symptom experiences as systematic entry points into healthcare services is essential to improve early detection for undiagnosed diabetes mellitus.Keywords: diabetes mellitus prevention; health promotion; undiagnosed; screening

Abstract

The assumption that financial investment is directly proportional to the quality of construction safety planning is commonly used as a basis for project budgeting. However, the persistently high rate of occupational accidents indicates a gap between cost allocation and the effectiveness of risk mitigation in practice. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the allocation of Construction Safety Management System costs and the quality of Construction Safety Plan documents, as well as to identify cost efficiency across construction work packages. This study employed a descriptive-analytical approach using document-based data obtained from Construction Safety Plan documents across several construction work packages. Document quality was assessed using a scoring method and further analyzed using a cost-effectiveness analysis approach to evaluate efficiency. The findings indicate that low-cost work packages are capable of producing high-quality Construction Safety Plan documents, while high-cost packages tend to be inefficient and fail to meet substantive performance evaluation criteria. These results suggest that planning quality is more influenced by personnel competence than by budget size. In conclusion, budget size does not necessarily guarantee compliance with construction safety standards. Therefore, safety planning evaluation should prioritize technical substance and regulatory compliance to enhance the effectiveness of worker protection.Keywords: cost effectiveness; construction safety plan; regulatory compliance; occupational safety

Abstract

Premarital sexual behaviour refers to intimate actions between two individuals who are emotionally attached but not legally married. Such behaviour is influenced by internal factors, including self‑esteem and depression, as well as external factors such as the roles of parents and teachers. Understanding these determinants is essential for developing effective adolescent reproductive‑health interventions. This study aimed to determine the relationship between parental roles, teacher roles, and self‑esteem with premarital sexual behaviour among adolescents at SMP Negeri 26 Samarinda. This research employed an observational analytic design with a cross‑sectional approach. The study involved 183 male and female students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, and statistical analysis was performed using the chi‑square test to assess associations between variables. The findings showed no significant relationship between parental roles and premarital sexual behaviour among adolescents at SMP Negeri 26 Samarinda (p = 0.461). Similarly, no significant association was found between teacher roles and premarital sexual behaviour (p = 0.341). Self‑esteem was also not significantly associated with premarital sexual behaviour (p = 0.913). The study concludes that parental roles, teacher roles, and self‑esteem are not significantly associated with premarital sexual behaviour among adolescents at SMP Negeri 26 Samarinda. These results suggest that other factors may play a more substantial role in influencing adolescent premarital sexual behaviour and should be explored in future research.Keywords: parents; teachers; self‑esteem; premarital sexual behaviour
