Abstract

High workload and dual roles among nurses are associated with reduced Work-Life Balance (WLB), which may negatively affect child survival efforts. Evidence shows that WLB among nurses is generally low to unbalanced, with a prevalence of up to 94.5%, largely influenced by high workloads and excessive working hours (>50 hours/week), and with only a small proportion achieving optimal balance. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between Work Life Balance (WLB) and child survival efforts among nurses (mothers) with children aged 0-12 years, considering work stress, welfare, and family support as key determinants. This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach involving nurses as respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that workload was negatively correlated with child Workload Survival Efforts (r = -0.541; p < 0.001) and was the strongest factor associated with reduced WLB. Work stress was negatively associated with WLB (r =-0.365, p = 0.002). In contrast, welfare (r = 0.587; p < 0.001) and family support (r = 0.518; p < 0.001) were positively correlated with child-survival efforts. In conclusion, high workload and work stress reduce WLB, while welfare and family support improve child survival efforts. These findings highlight the importance of institutional strategies, such as workload management, improved welfare policies, and strengthened family support systems, to enhance both nurses’ well-being and child health outcomes.

Abstract

Diarrheal disease remains a critical public health concern in Indonesia, particularly among children under five, where it ranks as a leading cause of morbidity. This study investigates the persistently high diarrhea prevalence among children aged 24–59 months in Paluh Sibaji Village, Pantai Labu District. Indonesia's SKI 2023 reported a national prevalence of 7.4% in under-fives, peaking at 11.5% among the 1–4 age group. Focusing on this coastal community, the study uniquely examines the combined influence of environmental conditions and personal hygiene behaviors. Data were collected from 70 children aged 24–59 months and their mothers, randomly selected from 232 households. The researcher wanted to see if things like the condition of their toilets, access to clean water, and their hygiene practices were linked to whether or not the children had diarrhea. The result showed that over 30% of the children had experienced diarrhea. The analysis revealed strong associations between the condition of toilets, access to clean water, personal hygiene, and the occurrence of diarrhea. While the numbers suggest a strong link, other factors the researcher did not measure or potential biases in how the data were collected could be influencing these results. Personal hygiene seemed to have the strongest connection to diarrhea. In conclusion, the study emphasizes that a combination of sanitation issues and hygiene habits is significantly linked to diarrhea in this coastal community. Future studies that follow children over time could help us better understand the causes of diarrhea and rule out other contributing factors.

Abstract

Hypertension remains a major public health problem among older adults. In 2025, according to data from the WHO, 1.28 billion people aged 30–79 years will experience an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Complementary herbal therapy has been increasingly used as a non-pharmacological approach to blood pressure control. To determine the effect of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) and honey decoction combination therapy on blood pressure reduction among elderly patients with hypertension at Tinada Primary Health Center. This study employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. A total of 32 elderly individuals with hypertension grade 1–2 participated as the sample, selected using purposive sampling from 105 registered hypertensives. Respondents received 250 ml of red ginger decoction (100 g boiled in 500 ml water until 250 ml remained) mixed with 15 ml pure honey once daily for 7 consecutive days. Blood pressure was measured before and after intervention using a calibrated digital sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test with a significance level of p<0.05. The mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 180.90 ± 12.51 mmHg to 160.10 ± 12.82 mmHg, while the mean diastolic pressure decreased from 94.50 ± 7.75 mmHg to 86.30 ± 5.56 mmHg. Statistical analysis showed a significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.000). The combination of red ginger decoction and honey is related to a decline in blood pressure among elderly hypertensive patients and may serve as a complementary therapy in hypertension management.
