Abstract

The gap between research outputs and their implementation in real-world health settings remains a persistent challenge within academic and health systems. While research productivity in health sciences continues to grow, its tangible impact on population health outcomes is not always evident. At the same time, community service and public health outreach programs are often conducted without a strong research foundation and lack integration with research roadmaps, resulting in short-term and unsustainable health outcomes. This article presents a conceptual perspective on the importance of integrating research and community service within the context of health systems through a research roadmap-based approach. Using a reflective narrative method, this paper explores existing gaps between health research and community-based health interventions, proposes an integrative framework, and elaborates key principles and systematic steps for designing research-based community service programs in health settings. Furthermore, it highlights the strategic role of the penta helix collaboration model in ensuring sustainability and strengthening health system responsiveness. This perspective argues that ideal community service in the health sector represents the downstream implementation of research, oriented toward sustainable community health empowerment and improved health behaviors. Strengthening the integration between research and community service is expected to enhance the social and clinical relevance of health education institutions and maximize the real-world impact of scientific knowledge on population health.Keywords: community service, research roadmap, community health, health empowerment, research translation, penta helix

Abstract

Meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is a condition in which amniotic fluid is contaminated with meconium and is associated with fetal distress and adverse perinatal outcomes, including neonatal asphyxia, meconium aspiration syndrome, infection, and perinatal mortality. This study aimed to analyze maternal age, gestational age, and parity as risk factors for MSAF among delivering mothers at Panekan Public Health Center from 2021 to 2025. This study used a retrospective case-control design involving 876 delivering mothers. The sample consisted of 77 cases selected through total sampling and 308 controls selected using simple random sampling with a 1:4 ratio. Data were collected from medical records and delivery registers and analyzed using binary logistic regression with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that gestational age ≥40 weeks was the only factor significantly associated with MSAF (p = 0.005; OR = 2.21). Mothers with post-term pregnancies had a 2.21 times higher risk of MSAF than those with term pregnancies. Maternal age and parity were not significantly associated. Gestational age was identified as the main risk factor for MSAF. Early detection through gestational age monitoring and regular antenatal care is essential, especially in pregnancies approaching or exceeding 40 weeks

Abstract

Acute primary angle closure (APAC) is a sight-threatening condition characterized by sudden increases in intraocular pressure (IOP) due to blockage of aqueous outflow. This case report presents a 57-year-old male with progressive vision loss, ocular pain, and associated symptoms, leading to a diagnosis of APAC and immature senile cataract. A 57-year-old male presented with three weeks of progressive vision loss, eye pain, redness, and halos around lights in the left eye, without nausea. His history revealed no systemic diseases or trauma, and family history suggested hereditary vision loss. Diagnosed with acute primary angle closure and immature senile cataract, he received medications and planned cataract surgery. This case underscores the critical need for timely diagnosis and intervention in patients presenting with acute glaucoma symptoms. The interplay between angle closure and cataract highlights the importance of comprehensive assessment and multidisciplinary management strategies to preserve vision and prevent optic nerve damage. Long-term monitoring of RNFL thickness and IOP is essential for optimal patient outcomes.

Abstract

The success of exclusive breastfeeding remains a major issue in the working area of Panekan Health Center, driven by psychosocial factors such as mothers' inaccurate perceptions and anxiety. Exclusive breastfeeding coverage has fluctuated significantly, rising from 22.8% (2023) to 98.8% (2024), then declining again to 47.9% (2025). This study aimed to analyze the influence of perception and anxiety among breastfeeding mothers on the success of exclusive breastfeeding. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 152 breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 6–11 months, selected using proportional simple random sampling from 17 villages. The perception was measured using a 24-item Health Belief Model (HBM) Likert-scale questionnaire, anxiety was measured using the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), and the success of exclusive breastfeeding was measured using a structured ordinal questionnaire. Data were analyzed using an logistic regression test. Most respondents were of healthy reproductive age (86.2%), had a secondary education (62.5%), were unemployed (83.6%), and had one child (51.3%). The majority of mothers had a good level of perception (61.8%) and mild anxiety (38.8%), and 75% of respondents successfully exclusively breastfed for 6 months. The ordinal logistic regression test showed that perception had a significant effect on the success of exclusive breastfeeding (p less than 0.001), while anxiety had no significant effect (p more than 0.05). Breastfeeding mothers' perception was the dominant factor influencing the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Efforts to improve positive perceptions through lactation counseling and ongoing health education are urgently needed to increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage. In conclusion, mothers’ perception plays a crucial and statistically significant role in determining the success of exclusive breastfeeding, whereas anxiety does not demonstrate a meaningful influence.  Keywords: perception; anxiety; exclusive breastfeeding; Health Belief Model

Abstract

Virtual reality has become an alternative learning method in nursing education, particularly in developed countries, as a solution to issues such as limited practice facilities, patient safety and infection concerns, pandemics, and the cost inefficiencies of modern simulation technology. The use of virtual reality in nursing education in Indonesia is not widespread, even though it could offer a solution to these nursing practice challenges that are also present in Indonesia. The aim of this review is to investigate the effectiveness of using virtual reality in nursing education simulations on nursing student competence, assessed in terms of knowledge, self-efficacy, learning satisfaction, clinical reasoning abilities, as well as skills and performance. This literature review selected 10 articles from the Scopus and Ebsco databases using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach, with keywords including virtual reality, augmented reality, nursing education, and nursing simulation. From the analysis of the 10 selected articles, it can be concluded that virtual reality is effective in enhancing nursing student competence, as assessed in terms of knowledge, self-efficacy, learning satisfaction, clinical reasoning abilities, as well as skills and performance. The quantity of virtual reality learning repetitions to achieve a significant impact, the significance of differences in hardware used in immersive virtual reality on the resulting impact, and further investigation into the long-term impact of virtual reality are topics that require further research.

Abstract

Obesity among women of reproductive age is a significant preconception risk factor due to various hormonal, metabolic, and psychosocial disturbances that can adversely affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes. In 2025, the prevalence of obesity among couples at the Panekan Community Health Center in Magetan Regency reached 9.19%, which ranked among the highest in the district and potentially delayed conception while increasing complications. This study aimed to describe physical, psychological, and attitudinal readiness among 44 women married for 1–2 years with obesity. A cross-sectional descriptive design with total sampling was used. Data collected from January to May 2026 via HPLP II (52 Likert items) and PCIS (17 nominal items). Univariate analysis used frequencies and percentages; bivariate used cross-tabulations. Respondents aged 21–35 (mean 27.11); most had senior high school (79.55%) and were unemployed (61.36%). Physical, psychological, and attitudinal readiness were sufficient in 75%, 77.27%, and 70.45%, respectively. All were pregnancy-ready per PCIS. Sufficient readiness dominated all groups across education and employment, except psychological readiness was slightly higher among university-educated mothers. Although overall readiness was sufficient, obesity also remains a very critical factor needing intensive clinical intervention, indeed especially physical. Health centers should integrate nutrition counseling, weight management, and psychological support into preconception services.
