Abstract

Around 223.5 million individuals experienced low back pain, and there were 63.7 million years lived with disability. Multiple studies have identified various risk factors that contribute to the development and persistence of LBP in this demographic, including personal and occupational risk factors. This study aims to investigate personal and occupational risk factors causing LBP complaints among administrative workers at the two largest hospitals in Surakarta City, Indonesia. This study was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted at RSUNS and RSDM in June-July 2024, using purposive sampling to select 130 respondents. This study used a questionnaire to collect data on personal and work risk factors such as age, education, gender, length of service, medical history, sitting position, chair backrest height, and duration of sitting in the office. The data was processed using the Somers D test to determine the correlation between the independent and dependent variables. This study found that key occupational risk factors, such as sitting position (p = 0.688), height of chair backrest (p = 0.372), and duration of sitting at the office (p = 0.283), showed no significant correlation to low back pain (LBP) among hospital administrative workers. However, over half of the respondents reported experiencing moderate LBP, highlighting it as an occupational health issue. The findings suggest that commonly measured ergonomic indicators alone may not adequately assess LBP risk in this setting. Therefore, hospitals should implement structured active breaks, work mobility/rest periods, and health education about prolonged sitting.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminths remain major neglected tropical infections affecting approximately 24% of the global population, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. Chronic infection may contribute to malnutrition and stunting in children. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of soil-transmitted helminth infections and hygiene risk among stunted toddlers in Kaliwates District. A cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2023 to May 2024 involving 103 stunted toddlers. Stool samples were examined using sedimentation and flotation methods, and hygiene data were collected through caregiver interviews. Fisher’s exact test and Moran’s Index were applied. The infection prevalence was 8.7%, predominantly hookworm. No significant association was found between hygiene factors and infection (p>0.05). Spatial analysis indicated a random distribution pattern. These findings suggest that deworming programs and hygiene promotion should be maintained, and spatial mapping may support targeted interventions.

Abstract

Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure from motor vehicle emissions is a major environmental health concern for street vendors with prolonged outdoor activities. This study aimed to assess the health risks of CO exposure among street vendors in the Jembatan Lima Market, West Jakarta. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using the Environmental Health Risk Analysis (ARKL) approach. CO concentrations were measured over three days using an Indoor Air Quality Monitor. The results showed CO concentrations ranging from 3.43 to 21.98 mg/m³, with an average of 12.91 mg/m³. Risk characterization indicated that real-time exposure was within safe limits (RQ ≤ 1). However, lifetime risk analysis demonstrated potential non-carcinogenic health risks, with Risk Quotient (RQ ≥ 1) occurring from the 10th year at maximum concentrations and from the 15th year at average concentrations. These findings indicate that long-term CO exposure may pose significant health risks to street vendors.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea, a common gynecological complaint among young females, manifested with severe pain in 36.6% (117/320) of participants and moderate-to-severe quality of life (QoL) impairment in 74.2% (222/320) among female medical students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. This cross-sectional study utilized non-random convenience sampling to enroll 320 participants, who completed a reliable self-structured questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.72). Associations between dysmenorrhea factors and QoL domains (mild, moderate, severe) were evaluated using Pearson chi-square tests. No significant association was observed between menstrual pain intensity and QoL (χ2=25.932, df = 20, p = 0.168). In contrast, breakfast skipping showed a strong association with QoL (χ2=12.958, df = 2, p = 0.002). Associated symptoms (χ2=24.289, df = 10, p = 0.007) and irregular menstrual cycles (χ2=7.429, df = 2, p = 0.024) also demonstrated significant links, highlighting lifestyle and symptom clustering effects. These findings underscore that QoL burdens stem primarily from modifiable factors beyond pain severity alone. Targeted non-pharmacological interventions—such as nutritional education to encourage breakfast consumption and proactive symptom management—are recommended to mitigate dysmenorrhea's impact and enhance well-being in this population.

Abstract

Maternal health services are an essential component of public health systems and play a significant role in reducing maternal mortality. The implementation of Minimum Service Standards (MSS) is one of the government’s strategies to ensure the quality and accessibility of maternal health services at the regional level. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Minimum Service Standards for maternal health services in Magelang City. This research employed a qualitative approach with a socio-legal perspective. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, focus group discussions, and literature review involving stakeholders related to maternal health services. The data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and verification through triangulation techniques to ensure validity. The results show that the implementation of MSS for maternal health services in Magelang City generally meets the established indicators, including the availability of health facilities, health personnel, and maternal health service coverage. However, several aspects still require improvement, particularly the quality of services and the continued involvement of traditional birth attendants in the childbirth process. Socioeconomic factors such as poverty, education level, and social inequality also influence the effectiveness of maternal health services. Strengthening community education and improving service quality are necessary to support optimal implementation of MSS. In conclusion, although the implementation of maternal health MSS in Magelang City has largely met the required standards, improvements in service quality and equitable access remain essential to optimize maternal health outcomes.

Abstract

Investigation of bajakah (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk), a typical plant of the island of Borneo, as an anti-hyperuricemia and anti-inflammatory agent through the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition pathway is important to reveal. This is supported by previous research indicating that bajakah has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, with a higher flavonoid content. Evidence-based studies were conducted to determine whether the bajakah stem extract can reduce uric acid levels and inhibit COX-2 as an anti-hyperuricemia therapy. This study was conducted in vivo on mice with a hyperuricemia model induced by potassium oxonate. The treatment consisted of a normal control group, a negative control (Na-CMC, 0.5%), a positive control (allopurinol), and a dose-variation group of Bajakah stem ethanol extract at 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg BW. Uric acid levels were determined at hours 1, 2, and 3 by lateral chromatography and COX-2 levels by the sandwich ELISA method. The study results showed that bajakah stem ethanol extract in the 300 mg/kg body weight dose group was effective in reducing uric acid levels at the 3rd hour from 3.60 ± 0.25 mg/dL to 2.33 ± 0.35 mg/dL, with the greatest reduction of 0.33 ± 0.06 mg/dL, equivalent to 92%, and reduced COX-2 levels by 1.14 ± 0.02 ng/mL, which was significantly different from the negative control (p<0.05), and there was a positive correlation between the reduction in uric acid levels and COX-2 inhibition in hyperuricemic animal models. The conclusion of this study is that administration of bajakah wood can increase uric acid levels while simultaneously inhibiting inflammation, making it a potential candidate for development as an antihyperuricemic and anti-inflammatory drug.

Abstract

Congenital hypothyroid screening coverage in Indonesia remains low (2.3%), partly due to limited effective health promotion and inadequate use of educational media, leading to low maternal participation. Strengthening health promotion through appropriate media and optimizing the role of health cadres are essential to improving mothers’ perceived benefits, reducing perceived barriers, and enhancing self-efficacy for screening. This study aimed to analyze the effect of education delivered through counseling cards by health cadres on mothers' perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy in conducting congenital hypothyroid screening. A quasi-experimental pre–post test design was conducted in Tasikmalaya City, involving 41 third-trimester pregnant women selected via quota sampling from 20 primary health center service areas. Trained cadres provided education using counseling cards. Data were collected before and after the intervention using validated questionnaires measuring perceived benefit, perceived barrier, and self-efficacy. Data analysis showed significant improvements in all variables after the intervention (p < 0.05). In conclusion, counseling card–based education is effective in improving mothers’ perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy toward congenital hypothyroid screening. It is recommended that this approach be integrated into routine maternal health promotion and scaled up through community health cadres to enhance screening uptake and support early detection at the population level.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a global health issue, with diabetic ulcers being a common complication and a high mortality rate. In 2021, around 576 million people worldwide had DM, and this number is projected to reach 643 million by 2030 and 787 million by 2045. The healing process of these ulcers is accelerated in a moist environment and with the use of appropriate primary dressings, such as Calcium Alginate. Objective: The aim is to determine the effect of Calcium Alginate primary dressing on the acceleration of diabetic ulcer healing during the proliferative phase. Methods: This research uses a quantitative study design with a quasi-experimental approach with a control group, employing a pre-test and post-test design. Respondents were divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group received treatment with calcium alginate, while the control group received treatment with zinc cream. The sample was selected using the consecutive sampling technique. Results: The results of the research indicate a significant difference in the average rate of diabetic ulcer healing between the intervention and control groups. Conclusions: The statistical test was performed using an independent sample T-Test, resulting in a p-value of 0.000 (p ≤ α 0.05), indicating a significant effect of the Calcium Alginate primary dressing on the acceleration of diabetic ulcer healing during the proliferative phase, thus supporting its use in enhancing the healing process of diabetic ulcers in this phase.

Abstract

Undergraduate health science students are exposed to academic demands, prolonged screen use, and sustained static posture, which may contribute to both perceived stress and neck–shoulder musculoskeletal symptoms. Previous student-based studies have reported that approximately one-third of university students experience moderate to high stress, while musculoskeletal discomfort, particularly in the neck and shoulder regions, affects around 40–60% of students. This study aimed to examine the associations among perceived stress, stretching and relaxation behavior, static posture duration, and neck–shoulder musculoskeletal symptoms among undergraduate health science students. This observational analytic study used a cross-sectional design involving 100 undergraduate health science students at Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jakarta. Participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale, a stretching and relaxation behavior questionnaire, and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The mean age of respondents was 20.8 ± 1.2 years, and 76% were female. Neck pain and shoulder pain in the past 12 months were reported by 68% and 65% of students, respectively. Static posture for 4–8 hours per day was reported by 51% of respondents. Perceived stress was categorized as mild in 43%, moderate in 21%, and high in 36% of students. Perceived stress was negatively correlated with stretching frequency (r = -0.38, p < 0.001), and positively correlated with static posture duration (r = 0.31, p = 0.002) and neck–shoulder pain (r = 0.41, p < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that stretching frequency, static posture duration, and neck–shoulder pain were significantly associated with perceived stress and explained 43% of its variance. Perceived stress among undergraduate health science students is associated with modifiable physical and behavioral factors, particularly static posture, neck–shoulder symptoms, and stretching or relaxation behavior. Campus wellness programs should integrate posture education, scheduled movement breaks, stretching routines, and relaxation practices to support both physical comfort and psychological well-being.

Abstract

Anxiety in facing the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) remains a significant challenge for nursing students. Recent studies show that anxiety among nursing students facing the OSCE is high. The report shows that 75.5% of students experienced moderate anxiety when facing the OSCE. This study aimed to analyze the influence of self-efficacy, academic readiness, academic motivation, and social support on students’ anxiety. A cross-sectional correlational design was used, involving 94 Diploma in Nursing students at STIKES Kamus Arunika. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. The results showed that anxiety levels were categorized as moderate in 62 students (66.0%), high in 27 students (28.7%), and low in 5 students (5.3%). All independent variables were significantly negatively correlated with anxiety, with self-efficacy showing the strongest relationship (r = -0.345, p < 0.01). Regression analysis revealed that self-efficacy (β = -0.312; p = 0.001), academic readiness (β = -0.224; p = 0.024), academic motivation (β = -0.215; p = 0.032), and social support (β = -0.162; p = 0.045) were significant predictors, explaining 37.4% of the variance in anxiety (R² = 0.374). These findings highlight the integrated role of psychological, academic, and social factors in shaping student anxiety, with self-efficacy as the most influential determinant. This study contributes an integrative perspective and suggests that targeted interventions, including self-efficacy enhancement, structured OSCE preparation, and supportive learning environments, are essential to reducing anxiety and improving student performance.
