Background: Proper breastfeeding techniques are essential for maintaining optimal breast milk production. Incorrect application of these techniques may result in nipple trauma and discourage mothers from breastfeeding. Inadequate breastfeeding can lead to infant malnutrition, increased susceptibility to illness, and, in severe cases, mortality. Health education serves as an effective strategy for postpartum mothers, as it provides knowledge that fosters behavioral change and reduces the risk of exclusive breastfeeding failure.Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of breastfeeding technique education on improving postpartum mothers’ knowledge in preventing lactation problems.Methods: A quantitative study with a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretestâ€“posttest approach, was conducted. The sample comprised 26 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were analyzed using univariate methods to describe knowledge levels before and after the intervention, and bivariate methods to assess differences between the two measurement points. The Wilcoxon test was applied because the data were not normally distributed (p < 0.05). Results: The findings revealed a significant effect of breastfeeding technique education on the improvement of postpartum mothers’ knowledge in preventing lactation problems, with a p-value of 0.000 (< Î± = 0.05). Conclusions: Providing education and information on breastfeeding techniques, supported by healthcare professionals, particularly midwives, is crucial. This intervention has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for enhancing breastfeeding success and preventing lactation-related problems

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that impacts the physical growth, cognitive development, and health of children in the future. In 2023, Indonesia still had a high rate of stunting at 21.5%, which is higher than the national goal of 14%. In Bengkulu Province, the prevalence of stunting reached 20.2%, while in North Bengkulu Regency it was 8.7%. One of the areas with a high stunting rate is the Kemumu Health Center, where stunting cases were recorded in 120 toddlers (10.56%) in 2024. Factors that affect the incidence of stunting include the history of exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of toddlers. Objectives: To determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding history and nutritional status of toddlers with stunting incidence. Methods: This type of study is a retrospective case-control design. This research was conducted in July 2025. The population of this study is all toddlers whose data were recorded in the register of the Kemu Health Center’s integrated health post (Posyandu). The sample used was 238 toddlers (119 stunted, 119 not stunted) with a simple random sampling technique. The data were analyzed using chi-square.Results: There was a correlation between exclusive breastfeeding history (p=0,000; OR=8,066) and Nutritional Status of Toddlers (p=0,008) with the incidence of stunting. Toddlers who do not get exclusive breastfeeding are eight times more likely to experience stunting. Conclusions: There is a relationship between the history of exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of toddlers with the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 6-59 months at the Kemu Health Center. It is recommended that to solve the stunting problem, it is essential to provide nutritional information corresponding to the specific needs of toddlers.

Background: Laparotomy is an invasive treatment that involves surgery on the lining of the abdominal wall. The effect of laparotomy using general anesthesia is gastrointestinal motility and vomiting, and if it lasts more than 24 hours, and causes postoperative ileus (IPO). Chewing gum is a form of artificial feeding to stimulate the intestinal recovery process after surgery. A preliminary study at Waras Wiris Regional Hospital in Boyolali revealed that there were cases of post-appendectomy patients who experienced decreased or no increase in intestinal peristalsis.Various efforts are needed to accelerate the return of intestinal peristalsis in post laparotomy patients to accelerate flatus time, including developing independent nursing interventions for chewing gum. Objectives: This research examined how chewing gum affected intestinal peristalsis in Waras Wiris Hospital post-laparotomy patients. Methods: This quantitative pre-experimental research used a one-group pre- and post-test design. This research sampled 90 postoperative laparotomy patients using purposive sampling. Instruments included a stethoscope, Xylitol gum and observation sheets. All respondents were monitored regularly until they were discharged from the hospital, and the time until the first bowel sound was heard normal bowel sounds, the time until the first gas was passed, the time until the first feeling of hunger, and the time until the first defecation were documented. Surgical data, tolerance of chewing gum after surgery, and postoperative complications was recorded. Data analysis has used the paired t-test. Results: The average value (mean) of digestive peristalsis increased from 0.001 to 16.27 following the intervention. Chewing gum affects intestinal peristalsis in post-laparotomy patients, according to the paired t-test, which had p value of 0.001. Meaning there is an effect of chewing gum on restoration of intestinal peristalsis. Conclusions: Chewing gum may boost intestinal peristalsis after laparotomy

Background: In healthcare systems worldwide, the implementation of structured career advancement mechanisms such as career ladders has been increasingly recognized as essential to ensuring workforce motivation, retention, and quality of care. However, empirical evidence on how these systems are perceived and their impact on nurses’ job satisfaction particularly in decentralized or resource-constrained hospital settings remains limited. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the correlation between nurses’ perceptions of career ladder implementation and their reported levels of job satisfaction. It specifically tested the hypothesis that a positive perception of the career ladder system is significantly associated with higher job satisfaction among nurses. Methods: Using a quantitative correlational cross-sectional design, the study surveyed 100 registered nurses selected via total sampling. Validated questionnaires were employed to measure two key constructs: perceived implementation of the career ladder system and levels of job satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation, and chi-square testing to determine the strength and direction of associations between variables. Results: Results indicate that most nurses were positioned at Career Level III (49%). While 54% perceived the career ladder implementation as effective, 46% did not. Job satisfaction was reported by 65% of participants. Notably, there was a statistically significant correlation (p = 0.000) between positive perceptions of career ladder implementation and job satisfaction: 81.5% of nurses with positive perceptions reported satisfaction, compared to only 45.7% among those with negative views. These findings affirm international research highlighting that clear, well-communicated, and equitable career structures foster motivation, retention, and satisfaction among healthcare staff. Conclusions: The findings suggest that the presence of a career ladder system alone is insufficient. Effective implementation supported by institutional leadership, transparent communication, and staff engagement is critical to realizing its benefits.

Background: Neonatal mortality constitutes most infant deaths in Indonesia, influenced by maternal and infant factors, smoking exposure levels during pregnancy, and the seeking of health services. Objectives: The study aimed to determine risk factors associated with neonatal mortality in Jember Regency. Methods: This observational analytical study employed a case-control design, with 42 cases and 42 controls selected by simple random sampling. Data collection used a documentation study to obtain maternal and infant characteristics, and maternal cigarette smoke exposure level was assessed using a direct interview SHSES questionnaire. Results: Mostly the age of mothers from case and control 20-35 years, gestational age 37-42 weeks, upper arm circumference ≥23.5 cm, not anemic, parity 2-4, experiencing complications, heavy exposure to cigarette smoke, birth spacing 24-60 months, birth weight <2500 & >4000 grams, inappropriate ANC, delivery assisted by health workers in health care facilities, and using the abdominal delivery method. Preterm and postterm delivery increased neonatal death risk 3.5 times (OR =3.511; 95% CI = 1.316-9.364), maternal or infant complications increased risk 4.2 times (OR = 4.200; 95% CI = 2.445-7.214), extreme birth weight increased risk 4.4 times (OR = 4.462; 95% CI = 1.785-11.154), and the vaginal delivery method is 0.194 times (OR = 0.194; 95% CI = 0.073-0.518) more protective than the abdominal delivery method. Conclusions: Preterm and post-term birth, maternal and neonatal complications, extreme birth weight, and abdominal delivery were associated with neonatal mortality. Strengthening early risk detection and antenatal care quality to prevent complications, optimize birth outcomes, and improve referral coordination to support targeted neonatal mortality reduction strategies.

Background: Stunting continues to pose a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in regions such as Pajangan, Bantul Regency. The condition stems not only from poverty but also from inadequate dietary practices and a lack of nutritional awareness. The Modified Diet Skim Milk Sugar Cotton Seed (Modisco) formula presents a viable alternative for stunted toddlers. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of Modisco, a high-calorie oral supplement, on improving the weight and height of stunted toddlers. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted involving 20 stunted children aged 2 to 5 years, selected using purposive sampling. Participants were evenly divided into two groups an intervention group that received daily Modisco supplementation for 14 days, and a control group that did not receive any treatment. Results: The Modisco intervention produced significant improvements in both weight and height among stunted toddlers. The intervention group gained an average of 0.48 kg, while the control group showed no meaningful increase (p=0.004). Height improved by 1.84 cm in the intervention group, whereas the control group experienced a slight decline of 0.30 cm (p=0.001). Analyses within and between groups confirmed consistent, statistically significant changes following the 14-day supplementation. These findings indicate that Modisco effectively supports short-term nutritional recovery and promotes linear growth. Overall, the intervention demonstrated clear benefits in enhancing growth outcomes compared with the control group. Conclusions: These findings suggest that Modisco supplementation can effectively promote physical growth in stunted toddlers within a short timeframe. As such, it holds potential as a cost-effective and practical approach for stunting intervention programs at the community level.

Background: Iron deficiency anemia remains a common public health problem among adolescent girls, negatively impacting physical development, cognitive performance, and productivity. Although iron supplementation programs have been widely implemented, compliance with iron tablet consumption is still suboptimal. Objective: This study aims to identify factors associated with compliance with iron consumption among adolescent girls, including knowledge of anemia symptoms, exposure to information about anemia, exposure to information about iron tablets, adolescent girls' perceptions of the impact of anemia on pregnancy and childbirth, acceptance of iron tablets, and parental awareness of the iron tablet program, and parental support for adolescent girls. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional survey study conducted from June to August 2024 in Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, involving 384 adolescent girls selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between adherence and acceptance of iron consumption (p = 0.000), parental awareness (p = 0.020), perception of the impact of anemia (p = 0.014), exposure to information about anemia (p = 0.040), and iron tablets (p = 0.029). Logistic regression revealed that the main predictors of adherence included acceptance of iron supplements (OR = 3.911; 95% CI: 1.938–8.218), parental awareness (OR = 1.925; 95% CI: 1.068–3.471), perception of the impact of anemia (OR = 1.742; 95% CI: 1.138–2.669), and exposure to information about iron tablets (OR = 1.633; 95% CI: 1.062-2.510). Conclusion: Although exposure to information was not statistically significant in multivariate analysis, it showed a positive trend. These findings highlight the importance of increasing adolescent acceptance, improving perception of the consequences of anemia, and increasing parental involvement to support iron supplementation adherence.

Background: : Gastritis, characterized by inflammation of the stomach lining, poses a significant health challenge among adolescents, often exacerbated by modifiable risk factors including unhealthy dietary patterns, chronic stress, limited health literacy, and insufficient family support. In urban settings like Sukabumi City, Indonesia, adolescents face heightened vulnerability due to lifestyle shifts, academic pressures, and irregular eating habits, leading to prevalent symptoms such as epigastric pain, nausea, and dyspepsia. Despite its commonality, few studies have systematically analyzed the interplay of these factors in this demographic, underscoring the need for targeted correlational research to inform preventive strategies in nursing education and public health. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing gastritis incidence among adolescents in Sukabumi City, with a focus on diet, stress, health knowledge, and family support. Methods: Employing a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach, the research involved 105 adolescents aged 12-18 years, selected via proportionate random sampling from local schools. Data were gathered using a validated questionnaire assessing dietary habits (e.g., meal frequency and food choices), stress levels (via perceived stress scales), knowledge of gastritis prevention, and family support metrics. Statistical analysis included chi-square tests and logistic regression to determine associations (p<0.05 significance). Results: Approximately 65% of respondents exhibited gastritis symptoms, with psychosocial factors—particularly high stress (OR=2.8, p=0.002) and irregular eating (OR=3.1, p<0.001)—emerging as significant predictors. Family support and health knowledge showed no statistically significant impact (p>0.05). Conclusions: Stress and poor dietary habits are primary drivers of gastritis in adolescents. Nursing-led interventions, including school-based education on stress management and nutrition, are crucial for mitigation
