Abstract

The credibility of health research depends not only on the appropriateness of its methods but also on the clarity and completeness with which those methods are reported. Replicability is a fundamental principle of scientific inquiry, enabling independent verification, comparison of findings, and the accumulation of evidence. However, inadequate methodological reporting remains a common issue, with many studies lacking sufficient detail to allow replication. This editorial examines the concept of replicable methods in health research, emphasizing that a method is considered replicable when it is described clearly, systematically, and in sufficient detail to allow others to reproduce the procedures under similar conditions. The importance of replicability is discussed in relation to scientific validity, transparency, and its implications for clinical practice and public health decision-making. The paper also outlines practical strategies to enhance replicability, including sequential organization of methods, comprehensive description of study procedures, clear definition of variables and instruments, and transparent reporting of analytical approaches and study limitations. Authors are encouraged to adopt a deliberate and structured approach to methodological reporting, ensuring that their work can be independently evaluated and reproduced. Ultimately, improving the replicability of research methods strengthens the reliability, credibility, and impact of scientific evidence in healthcare.Keywords: replicability; health research methodology; methodological transparency; reproducibility; scientific rigor; reporting quality

Abstract

Excessive screen time in early childhood can affect various aspects of development, including speech abilities. This study aims to determine the relationship between screen time duration and the occurrence of speech delay in children aged 0–6 years in Malang City. A case–control design was used with a total of 60 children, consisting of 30 children with speech delay and 30 children with normal speech development. Data were collected using a questionnaire measuring daily screen time duration and the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire (KPSP) to assess developmental status. Statistical analysis using the Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between screen time duration and speech delay (p = 0.000). The findings indicate that children exposed to screen time for more than one hour per day have a higher risk of experiencing speech delay compared to those with limited exposure. These results highlight the important role of parents in supervising and limiting the use of digital media. By reducing screen time and increasing direct interaction, children’s speech and language development can be better supported. This study concludes that managing screen time is a crucial step in preventing speech delay in early childhood

Abstract

A diagnosis of breast cancer is a highly distressing experience for women and is frequently accompanied by physical, psychosocial, and spiritual challenges that may compromise quality of life. Increased spiritual needs often emerge during the disease trajectory, leading many patients to seek comfort through spiritual practices, particularly prayer. This systematic review aimed to synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of prayer therapy in improving comfort among patients with breast cancer. The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Literature searches were performed in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library for studies published between 2010 and 2020 using the PICO framework. Six studies met the inclusion criteria, including three randomized controlled trials, two qualitative studies, and one cross-sectional study. The findings consistently demonstrated that prayer therapy, as part of spiritual care interventions, was associated with improved spiritual and emotional well-being, reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms, enhanced quality of life, and increased patient comfort. In conclusion, prayer therapy represents an effective, feasible, and holistic nursing intervention that can enhance comfort among patients with breast cancer and strengthen the delivery of holistic nursing care.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has encouraged educational institutions and student cooperatives to adopt integrated financial management systems to improve transparency, accuracy, and operational efficiency. However, many campus based cooperatives still rely on manual bookkeeping, which is prone to delays, inconsistencies, and limited financial analysis capacity. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the IPOSPRO digital bookkeeping application at KOPMA Magetan Campus Environmental Sanitation, focusing on improvements in sales recording, inventory management, and profit–loss reporting. A participatory action research (PAR) design was employed, consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages. Data were collected through direct observation, documentation of manual and digital financial reports, and evaluation of student performance during system operation. The results show that the implementation of IPOSPRO significantly enhanced the accuracy and speed of transaction recording, enabling real time updates and reducing human error compared to manual methods. Inventory management became more transparent and synchronized, as stock levels were automatically updated with each transaction, minimizing discrepancies between physical and recorded stock. Profit and loss reporting also improved, with the system generating automated and more comprehensive financial summaries based on integrated sales, purchase, and stock data. Additionally, the use of IPOSPRO strengthened students’ digital literacy and practical entrepreneurial skills, although several challenges remained, including difficulties in stock synchronization, inconsistent data input, and limited understanding of digital financial reports. In conclusion, the IPOSPRO application improves transaction accuracy, stock transparency, and financial reporting while enhancing students’ digital literacy, although continuous training and technical support are still required. Keywords: digital bookkeeping, IPOSPRO, inventory management, financial reporting, student cooperative, digital literacy.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding remains a global public health priority, yet many mothers experience insufficient breast milk production due to physiological, behavioral, and psychosocial factors. Katuk leaves (Sauropus androgynus) are traditionally recognized in Indonesia for their lactogenic properties, while catfish (Clarias batrachus) provides high‑quality protein and essential fatty acids that support maternal nutritional status. Integrating these ingredients into a functional food product may offer a practical dietary approach to enhance lactation. This study aimed to to describe changes in breast milk production among lactating mothers following the consumption of katuk leaf–fortified catfish nuggets over a two‑week period. A descriptive case study was conducted in Martopuro Village, Pasuruan Regency, during August 2025. Three purposively selected lactating mothers with infants aged 0–6 months consumed 100 g of fortified nuggets every two days for 14 days. Breast milk volume was measured using a standardized graduated pump container at baseline and post‑intervention. Maternal perceptions of lactation were assessed using a five‑item questionnaire adapted from validated lactation assessment tools. Data were analyzed descriptively to identify individual trends. All participants demonstrated an upward trend in breast milk production, reflected in increased expressed milk volume and improved maternal lactation perception scores. These findings align with the biological plausibility of katuk leaf phytochemicals; such as flavonoids, saponins, and phytosterols which may stimulate prolactin pathways and enhance mammary gland function. The nutritional contribution of catfish protein and essential fatty acids may further support milk synthesis. However, several confounding factors were identified, including high baseline hydration, increased breastfeeding frequency, and potential placebo effects, limiting the interpretability of the observed improvements. In conclusion, katuk leaf–fortified catfish nuggets show potential as an acceptable functional food to support lactation, but the descriptive nature of this study and its very small sample size preclude causal inference. Larger randomized controlled trials with standardized controls and confounder monitoring are required to validate the efficacy of this formulation.Keywords: katuk leaves; Sauropus androgynus; catfish; functional food; lactation; breast milk production

Abstract

The persistent conflation between descriptive research and qualitative research remains a recurring methodological problem in health‑science publications, particularly in manuscripts submitted to Health Notions. This conceptual ambiguity undermines the rigor of study design and weakens the interpretive value of research findings. The objective of this editorial is to clarify the epistemological and methodological distinctions between descriptive research and qualitative inquiry, while illustrating their implications through examples drawn from public health and clinical practice. Using a conceptual‑analytic approach, this article examines the philosophical foundations, research logic, and practical applications of both approaches. The analysis shows that descriptive research, rooted in the quantitative paradigm, focuses on mapping the distribution of health variables; such as the prevalence of hypertension, maternal anemia, or tuberculosis treatment default without explaining the contextual or experiential dimensions underlying these patterns. In contrast, qualitative research seeks to interpret meaning, explore lived experiences, and uncover cultural, social, and behavioral factors that shape health phenomena, such as patients’ fears of medication, stigma surrounding tuberculosis, or cultural taboos influencing maternal nutrition. The findings emphasize that misunderstanding these distinctions leads to methodological misalignment, weak theoretical contribution, and incomplete evidence for policy and practice. The editorial concludes that descriptive and qualitative research are not interchangeable but complementary, and that methodological clarity is essential for producing robust, contextually grounded health evidence. Strengthening this conceptual distinction will enhance the quality of manuscripts submitted to Health Notions and support more effective health‑system decision‑making.Keywords: Keywords: descriptive research; qualitative research; methodology; health sciences; research approach
