Abstract

Borax is a prohibited food additive according to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 033 of 2012 because of its harmful effects on human health, including disorders of the central nervous system, kidney and liver dysfunction, and even death. Nevertheless, the use of borax is still suspected in certain food processing practices, including the production of crackers. This study aimed to determine the presence of borax in crackers sold at the market. This research used a descriptive design with organoleptic testing and qualitative borax testing using the rapid test method. The research objects were cracker products sold by three vendors in the Jenangan District Market. Total sampling was applied based on the total number of crackers sold by the vendors, resulting in 21 samples. The results of the organoleptic test showed that three samples had slightly dull colors and seven samples had textures that were difficult to crush. The qualitative rapid test results indicated that 14.3% of the cracker samples were positive for borax. Crackers containing borax were generally characterized by a dull appearance and a hard texture that was difficult to crush. In conclusion, borax was still found in a proportion of cracker products sold in the Jenangan District Market, indicating that the use of this prohibited additive persists in some food products and may pose potential health risks to consumers.Keywords: borax, crackers, organoleptic test, qualitative test

Abstract

Curettage is a gynecological procedure commonly performed under general anesthesia using the total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) technique; however, recovery time after anesthesia may vary among patients. This variation is influenced by patient characteristics, particularly age and body mass index (BMI). This study aimed to analyze the association between age and body mass index with recovery time in post-curettage patients undergoing general anesthesia with the TIVA technique. This study employed a quantitative method with an observational analytic cross-sectional design conducted in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit of RSU PKU Muhammadiyah Aghisna Kroya. A total of 36 patients were selected using purposive sampling. Data on age and BMI were obtained from medical records, while recovery time was assessed using the Modified Aldrete Score and categorized as fast (≤15 minutes) or slow (>15 minutes). Data analysis was performed using Fisher’s Exact Test. The results showed a significant association between age and recovery time (p < 0.001) and between BMI and recovery time (p = 0.007). This study concludes that patients aged <35 years and those with normal body mass index (18.5–22.9 kg/m²) tend to experience faster recovery time (≤15 minutes), whereas older patients and those with higher body mass index are more likely to experience delayed recovery after curettage under general anesthesia using the TIVA technique.Keywords: age; body mass index; recovery time; curettage; total intravenous anesthesia

Abstract

Dear Editor,I would like to express my appreciation for the publication entitled “Prenatal Gentle Yoga Sebagai Strategi Nonfarmakologis untuk Mempercepat Kala I Fase Aktif Persalinan Primigravida (Prenatal Gentle Yoga as a Non-Pharmacological Strategy to Accelerate the Active Phase of the First Stage of Labor in Primigravida Women)” [1]. This study offers notable strengths, particularly its focus on primigravida women—a group that often encounters substantial physiological and psychological challenges during their first labor experience. The use of prenatal gentle yoga as a non-pharmacological intervention, integrating breathing exercises, pelvic muscle stretching, and relaxation techniques, appears to be effective in accelerating the active phase of labor. Moreover, the application of a post-test only control group experimental design enhances the methodological rigor in identifying a causal relationship between the intervention and the observed clinical outcomes.Nevertheless, several limitations merit consideration. The relatively small sample size (n = 40) restricts the generalizability of the findings to a broader population [2,3]. In addition, the study does not assess other important variables such as analgesia requirements, neonatal outcomes, and maternal satisfaction with the childbirth process, all of which are essential for a more comprehensive evaluation of the intervention’s effectiveness [4]. Physical activity outside the yoga sessions was also not objectively controlled, leaving room for potential confounding bias [5]. Furthermore, the qualitative data presented remain largely descriptive and informal, lacking a systematic approach such as in-depth interviews or thematic analysis.For future research, it would be beneficial to conduct similar studies with larger sample sizes and to adopt a mixed-methods approach in order to better capture the subjective experiences of mothers. Including additional outcome indicators—such as the duration of the second stage of labor, use of analgesia, and long-term postpartum recovery—would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the benefits of prenatal gentle yoga. Such improvements would strengthen the evidence base and support the integration of this intervention into community-based antenatal care practices.

Abstract

The acceleration of digital transformation in Indonesia’s health sector mandates the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) integrated with the SATUSEHAT platform. However, variations in healthcare workers’ readiness and acceptance remain a major barrier, particularly in outpatient units. This study aimed to analyze factors influencing behavioral intention and actual use of EMR based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). A quantitative explanatory survey with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 207 healthcare workers selected through proportionate stratified random sampling from a population of 438 outpatient staff across five type-C hospitals in Lumajang Regency. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The UTAUT constructs included performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, with age and experience as moderating variables. Effort expectancy and facilitating conditions significantly influenced both behavioral intention and EMR use, either directly or indirectly through intention. In contrast, performance expectancy and social influence showed no significant effects. Moderation analysis revealed that age weakened the effect of social influence on intention, while experience reduced the effect of facilitating conditions on usage behavior. The model explained 65.5% of the variance in intention and 37.8% in usage behavior. In conclusion, technical readiness and operational support play a more critical role in EMR adoption than perceived performance benefits or social influence. Strengthening infrastructure and user training is essential to support successful digital transformation in hospitals.Keywords: electronic medical records; behavioral intention; usage behavior

Abstract

The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in hospitals continues to face multiple challenges, including technical limitations, human resource readiness, and socio‑cultural factors that influence technology adoption. This study aims to analyze the direct effect of service quality on patient satisfaction and the moderating effect of EMR implementation in strengthening this relationship. A cross‑sectional design was applied with a total of 95 respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and hypothesis testing was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The first-stage analysis (direct effect model) showed an R-square value of 0.55 and a path coefficient (β) of 0.740 with ρ (<0.001) ≤ 0.05, indicating a positive and significant effect of service quality on patient satisfaction. The second-stage analysis (moderating effect model) produced an R-square value of 0.47 and a path coefficient (β) of 0.271 with ρ (<0.003) ≤ 0.05, demonstrating that EMR implementation strengthens the influence of service quality on patient satisfaction. These findings highlight the strategic role of EMR in enhancing service effectiveness and improving patient satisfaction in hospital settings.Keywords: moderating effect; electronic medical records; service quality; patient satisfaction; hospital

Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a major cause of mortality among women, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Despite the high incidence, the coverage of early detection or screening is still low. One contributing factor is women’s lack of confidence (self-efficacy) in undergoing early detection procedures. This study aimed to identify the level of women’s self-efficacy in performing early detection of cervical cancer. This study employed a descriptive design with analysis presented in the form of frequencies and proportions. A total of 115 women of reproductive age were selected using consecutive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive analysis, including frequency distribution and proportion. The findings showed that 53.9% of respondents had high self-efficacy, while 46.1% had low self-efficacy in performing early detection of cervical cancer. Although the majority demonstrated high self-efficacy, the difference between the two categories was relatively small, indicating that self-efficacy remains a concern. In conclusion, most women exhibited high self-efficacy in undertaking early detection of cervical cancer; however, the narrow gap with those having low self-efficacy suggests the need for further improvement. Strengthening support from healthcare providers is essential to enhance women’s confidence and increase early detection coverage.Keywords: cervical cancer; early detection; self-efficacy

Abstract

Professionalism and nursing competence are fundamental pillars in ensuring high‑quality and safe patient care. However, a persistent gap between academic theory and clinical practice continues to hinder the optimal development of clinical competence, critical thinking, and nurses’ decision‑making abilities. Although bedside teaching has been widely recognized as an effective instructional method globally, its implementation varies considerably, influenced by workload demands and the competency of clinical facilitators. This study aims to identify and critically analyze the impact of bedside teaching on improving nurses’ clinical competence based on empirical evidence from national and international studies. A systematic review approach was employed, guided by the PRISMA framework. Literature searches were conducted across multiple electronic databases, including Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, MDPI, EBSCOHost, ClinicalKey, ClinicalKey Nursing, Sage Journals, ProQuest, and PubMed, focusing on articles published between 2020 and 2025. A total of 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected and comprehensively analyzed. The review process followed rigorous and systematic steps, including critical appraisal. Analysis of the 15 studies revealed that bedside teaching consistently enhances clinical competence and critical thinking skills by up to 35%. Approximately 80% of the studies reported that bedside teaching is more effective than conventional learning methods. Its effectiveness is attributed to direct reflection, real‑time feedback, and collaborative learning approaches. However, challenges such as high workload and limited time continue to affect its implementation. In conclusion, bedside teaching is an effective, contextual, and relevant clinical learning strategy for strengthening the professional competence of nurses and nursing students across various healthcare settings. To optimize its implementation, institutional commitment is required through structured training for clinical instructors and systematic integration of bedside teaching into nursing education curricula.Keywords: bedside teaching; clinical nurse competence; clinical learning

Abstract

Dear Editor,I would like to express my appreciation for the publication of the article entitled “Pengetahuan Ibu dan Pemberian Makanan Pendamping Air Susu Ibu Sebagai Determinan Utama Kejadian Stunting pada Balita” in the Jurnal Penelitian Kesehatan Suara Forikes [1]. The study offers a valuable contribution to the growing body of evidence on the determinants of stunting, particularly within the context of Kelapa Dua, Kairatu Subdistrict, West Seram Regency. One of the strengths of this research lies in its comprehensive approach to identifying key factors associated with stunting, including maternal education, maternal knowledge, exclusive breastfeeding practices, complementary feeding practices, and household economic status. The use of a cross-sectional design combined with Chi-square statistical analysis provides a solid methodological foundation for examining associations between variables, and the findings demonstrate that four out of the five factors investigated were significantly related to stunting prevalence.Despite these strengths, several methodological limitations warrant further consideration. First, the study does not provide a detailed explanation of the indicators used to assess household economic status, which limits the interpretability and depth of analysis for this variable [2]. Without clear operational definitions—such as income thresholds, asset ownership, or expenditure patterns—the construct of economic status remains ambiguous and may not accurately capture socioeconomic disparities relevant to child nutrition.Second, the study does not incorporate or control for biological and environmental determinants that are known to have direct and substantial effects on stunting. Important factors such as birth weight, maternal nutritional status during pregnancy, history of infectious diseases in children, household sanitation conditions, and access to basic health services were not included in the analysis. By focusing primarily on behavioral and social variables—maternal education, knowledge, and feeding practices—the study overlooks the multidimensional and interrelated nature of stunting, which is widely recognized as the outcome of complex interactions between biological, environmental, and social determinants.To enhance the rigor and comprehensiveness of future research, I recommend adopting a multidimensional analytical framework that integrates biological, environmental, and health service–related factors alongside social and behavioral determinants [3]. Incorporating variables such as birth weight, maternal nutritional status during pregnancy, child morbidity patterns, household sanitation quality, and proximity to health facilities would provide a more holistic understanding of the pathways leading to stunting. Such an approach would better reflect the multifactorial etiology of stunting and support the development of more targeted and contextually relevant intervention strategies.Furthermore, the assessment of complementary feeding practices would benefit from the use of objective indicators aligned with WHO or Ministry of Health standards [4]. These may include measures of energy density, protein and micronutrient content, feeding frequency, dietary diversity, and meal consistency. Employing standardized indicators would strengthen the validity of the findings and allow for more meaningful comparisons across studies and populations.In conclusion, this commentary is offered as a constructive contribution to the ongoing development of high-quality public health research in Indonesia. Strengthening methodological rigor and expanding the analytical scope of stunting research will provide a more robust evidence base to inform policy decisions and programmatic interventions aimed at reducing stunting prevalence nationwide.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The prevalence of hypertension in developing countries, including Indonesia, continues to rise annually. This trend is particularly evident in densely populated provinces such as West Java. If not adequately managed, hypertension may progress to severe and potentially life-threatening complications. Therefore, identifying the factors that exert the greatest influence on the development of hypertension is essential, as this enables individuals to modify lifestyle behaviors that may trigger or aggravate the condition. This study employed a descriptive correlational approach using a cross-sectional design. A total of 434 respondents participated, all of whom were individuals diagnosed with hypertension and residing in peri-urban areas, specifically Mangkubumi District, which is located at the administrative boundary between the regency and the city. The results showed that nutritional factors—particularly salt intake—and physical activity demonstrated significant associations with hypertension (p < 0.05). In contrast, stress levels, obesity, and smoking history were not significantly associated with hypertension, as indicated by p-values greater than 0.05. Furthermore, physical activity history emerged as the most dominant factor influencing hypertension, with a p-value of 0.021. The findings of this study are expected to encourage the community to adopt healthier lifestyle practices in order to prevent complications associated with hypertension.Keywords: family, hypertension, mangkubumi ABSTRAK Kasus hipertensi di negara-negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia, terus menunjukkan peningkatan setiap tahun. Kondisi ini terutama terlihat di provinsi dengan jumlah penduduk yang besar seperti Jawa Barat. Bila masalah ini dibiarkan dan tidak ditangani dengan baik, hipertensi dapat berkembang menjadi berbagai komplikasi yang serius. Perlu dilakukan identifikasi terhadap faktor-faktor yang memiliki pengaruh paling besar terhadap munculnya hipertensi, agar individu dapat menyesuaikan pola hidup yang berisiko memicu atau memperburuk kondisi hipertensi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif korelatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah sampel mencapai 434 responden yang merupakan penderita hipertensi dan berdomisili di wilayah peri-urban, yaitu Kecamatan Mangkubumi yang terletak di perbatasan antara kabupaten dan kota. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa asupan nutrisi—khususnya konsumsi garam,—serta kebiasaan berolahraga memiliki nilai p < 0,05, sehingga dinyatakan berhubungan dengan kejadian hipertensi. Sebaliknya, tingkat stres, kondisi obesitas, dan riwayat merokok tidak menunjukkan hubungan bermakna terhadap hipertensi karena nilai p berada di atas 0,05. Dalam penelitian ini, faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap kejadian hipertensi adalah riwayat aktivitas olahraga dengan nilai p sebesar 0,021. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat mendorong masyarakat untuk mengadopsi gaya hidup yang lebih sehat guna mencegah terjadinya komplikasi akibat hipertensi.Kata kunci: keluarga, hipertensi, mangkubumi

Abstract

Online gaming addiction is characterized by excessive and uncontrolled gaming behavior, driven by persistent urges to play and difficulty regulating duration and frequency. This behavioral pattern has the potential to affect various aspects of adolescent functioning, particularly their social interaction, which includes relationships between individuals, between individuals and groups, and among groups. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between online gaming addiction and social interaction among adolescents. A quantitative cross‑sectional design was applied, involving 42 adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires assessing the level of online gaming addiction and the quality of social interaction. Statistical analysis was performed using the Rank‑Spearman test. The results showed that 59.5% of participants were categorized as having a high level of online gaming addiction, and 54.5% demonstrated poor social interaction. Statistical testing revealed a significant relationship between the two variables (p < 0.005). In conclusion, the study demonstrates a clear inverse association: higher levels of online gaming addiction are linked to lower quality of social interaction among adolescents, indicating that excessive gaming may hinder adolescents’ ability to engage effectively in social relationships.Keywords: online gaming addiction; social interaction; adolescents
