Abstract

Background: The health of adolescent girls is important. Teenage girls have a vital role in giving birth to a new generation (future mothers). Purpose: The research aimed to determine the description of blood pressure in adolescent girls and to analyze what factors were associated with the incidence of hypertension in adolescent girls. Methods: This research used a cross-sectional method with a descriptive approach. The sample of this research, a total of 1,193 adolescent girls at Jembrana Regency, Bali, Indonesia, from 5 high schools and vocational schools, was selected using purposive sampling. The adolescent girls were 15 to 19 years old with an average age of 16.5 years old. Blood pressure was categorized in children and adolescents by using four categories: normal, pre-hypertension, hypertension I, and hypertension II. Results: The research results on 1,193 adolescent girls showed that the majority of respondents had blood pressure in the normal category, totaling 1,031 individuals (86%). A total of 149 adolescent girls (12%) were in the pre-hypertension category, while stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension were found in 13 respondents (1%). The average systolic blood pressure of respondents was 116.3 mmHg (SD ±12.3), and diastolic blood pressure was 71.3 mmHg (SD ±9.8). The average age of respondents was 16.5 years (SD ±0.7). Bivariate analysis results showed that nutritional status based on BMI and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) had a significant relationship with the incidence of hypertension in adolescent girls (p < 0.05). Adolescents with overweight, obesity, and chronic energy deficiency (CED) status were more frequently found in the pre-hypertension and hypertension groups. Conclusions: It was concluded in this research that the majority of adolescent girls at Jembrana Regency, Bali-Indonesia had normal blood pressure. To prevent hypertension, adolescent girls have to maintain their health and change risk factors by optimizing their nutritional status.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a major global health concern, particularly for healthcare workers (HCWs) who are at increased risk due to occupational exposure. This study evaluates nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in implementing TB infection control measures in hospital settings across Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, India, Gabon, and Malaysia. Despite the availability of preventive measures, their inconsistent application due to inadequate training, resource shortages, and systemic challenges continues to hinder effective TB control. Identifying these gaps is crucial for improving infection prevention strategies. Purpose: This study aims to assess nurses' KAP regarding TB infection control, identify critical gaps in their understanding and practices, and highlight the need for targeted interventions such as in-service training, resource allocation, and stigma-reduction efforts. Methods: A literature review was conducted on studies published between 2020 and 2024 using the PubMed, ProQuest, and Scopus databases. The inclusion criteria focused on studies involving nurses in hospital settings that discussed knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to TB prevention. The 340 articles identified, 29 articles met the eligibility criteria after applying strict exclusion criteria for duplicate and non-empirical publications and studies that did not specifically focus on nurses in hospitals. To ensure accuracy and credibility, the included studies were assessed using the critical appraisal tool from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) to minimize the risk of bias. Results: Findings revealed substantial gaps in nurses' knowledge and infection control practices, despite generally positive attitudes. For instance, many incorrectly relied on surgical masks instead of N95 respirators. Inconsistencies in infection control were linked to inadequate training, resource limitations, and high workloads. Conclusion: Addressing these deficiencies through structured training, improved resource distribution, and stigma-reduction strategies is essential to enhance TB prevention efforts in hospital settings.

Abstract

Background: Menarche causes anxiety in some teenagers, because they consider menstruation to be a disease and dirty blood. Purpose: The aim of the research is to determine the factors related to the psychological response during menarche at Khadijah Elementary School, Surabaya. Methods: This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. It was conducted at SD Khadijah Surabaya on May 3, 2024. The sample consisted of 47 female students who had experienced menarche. The sampling technique used was stratified random sampling. The research instruments included questionnaires on age at menarche, sources of information, knowledge and perceptions about menstruation and menarche, as well as psychological responses during menarche. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Multivariate analysis was not performed to avoid overfitting due to the small sample size. Results: The results of the Chi-square test showed significant associations between psychological responses at menarche and the following variables: age at menarche (p = 0.001), knowledge (p = 0.000), perception (p = 0.000), and source of information (p = 0.035). Conclusion: Based on the results of the research and discussion that have been described, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the age of menarche, knowledge, perception and sources of information with the psychological response during menarche at Khadijah Elementary School Surabaya.

Abstract

Background: Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) remains a public health threat in low- and middle-income countries due to suboptimal coverage of complete-dose maternal immunization. Although TT and Td vaccines are clinically effective, their cost-effectiveness in different country contexts needs systematic assessment. Purpose: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of maternal tetanus toxoid (TT) and tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccination in developing countries, focusing on economic outcomes and contextual variations. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature was searched in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Wiley, and Crossref. Inclusion criteria comprised CEA/CUA studies on maternal TT/Td immunization in developing countries. Reporting quality was assessed using the CHEERS 2022 checklist. Results: From 2,040 records, four studies met inclusion criteria. All reported maternal TT/Td vaccination as highly cost-effective, with ICERs ranging from USD 3.61 to 15,600 per DALY or life-year saved. Key uncertainties included vaccine effectiveness and distribution costs, while program efficiency varied by local health system conditions. Conclusion: Complete-dose maternal TT/Td immunization is a highly cost-effective public health intervention in resource-limited settings. However, policy implementation must be adapted to local contexts and supported by robust sensitivity analysis and reliable primary data.
