<![CDATA[Modern lifestyle changes due to urbanization, increased consumption of fast food, and lack of physical activity have contributed to the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases, particularly hypertension. An unbalanced diet characterized by high intake of salt, saturated fats, and sugar is a major risk factor that accelerates the onset of high blood pressure. This study aims to examine the effect of dietary patterns on the incidence of hypertension and explore its potential as a learning resource for human physiology in higher education. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 43 patients at Tamalanrea Public Health Center, Makassar, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured dietary questionnaire and blood pressure measurements with a digital sphygmomanometer. The Chi-Square test results indicated a significant relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension (χ² = 10.520; p = 0.001). Respondents with unhealthy dietary patterns showed a higher proportion of hypertension compared to those with healthy eating habits. This is physiologically linked to sodium retention, increased blood volume, and the activation of hormonal systems that regulate blood pressure. These findings suggest that real-life contexts such as hypertension can be utilized as a contextual learning tool for understanding human physiology, strengthening scientific literacy, and fostering healthy lifestyle awareness among university students.]]>

<![CDATA[The phenomenon of postpartum baby blues is a mild mood disorder that is commonly experienced by mothers after childbirth, especially in mothers who undergo cesarean delivery. This condition occurs due to drastic hormonal changes, physical pain, a longer recovery process, as well as psychosocial factors such as low emotional support and feelings of loss of control during the labor process. This issue has not been widely integrated in the learning of reproductive biology in higher education, which tends to focus on physiological aspects. This study aims to review the scientific literature on the prevalence of post-caesarean baby blues and explore its potential as a learning issue in reproductive biology. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using content analysis of 16 relevant and published scientific articles in the period 2015–2025. The results of the study showed that post-caesarean mothers had a higher risk of experiencing baby blues compared to normal childbirth. In addition, the integration of this issue in reproductive biology learning has strategic value in fostering empathy, science literacy, and mental health awareness of students. This study recommends the application of project-based learning models and case studies as an effective approach to raise the issue of baby blues in the curriculum in higher education.

<![CDATA[Abstract. This study aims to analyze the effect of health education on salted fish consumption in improving knowledge among patients with hypertension. The research used a pre-test and post-test design with 40 respondents selected through accidental sampling at Barombong Public Health Center, Makassar. Data analysis using the McNemar test showed a p-value of 0.000 (< α = 0.05), indicating a significant increase in knowledge after the educational intervention. A total of 21 respondents improved from poor to good knowledge. These findings suggest that nutrition education related to salted fish consumption can serve as an effective contextual learning resource for hypertension prevention. This locally relevant educational approach supports nurses’ roles in health promotion and can be developed into practical learning materials or media in community-based nursing care. Thus, the study reinforces the importance of contextual nutrition education in promotive and preventive health interventions.Keywords: health education, hypertension, salted fish, knowledge]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract. This study aims to evaluate the level of midwifery students’ mastery of human anatomy and physiology concepts as part of the core curriculum in health education. Anatomy and physiology serve as fundamental pillars in midwifery practice, as they are directly related to understanding the processes of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach through a survey involving 50 second- and fourth-semester students. The results showed that second-semester students had a higher level of mastery (77.75%) compared to fourth-semester students (68%). Furthermore, male students demonstrated a higher level of understanding (81.25%) than female students (74.52%). These differences may be influenced by learning styles, motivation, and academic experience. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, including mean and percentage calculations, to compare levels of conceptual understanding across student groups. The findings provide important implications for developing more adaptive learning strategies in anatomy and physiology courses within midwifery programs.Keywords: anatomy, concept mastery, human physiology, midwifery, students]]>
