Abstract

Anxiety among older adults is an increasingly common mental health problem, particularly among elderly individuals living in nursing homes. Long-term use of pharmacological therapy may lead to various side effects, making non-pharmacological approaches an important alternative in geriatric care. Lavender aromatherapy has been recognized as a complementary intervention that may help reduce anxiety symptoms. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety levels among elderly residents at a nursing home in Indramayu Regency. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental approach using a one-group pre-test–post-test design conducted from June to December 2024 at a nursing home in Indramayu Regency. A total of 30 elderly participants were selected purposively based on inclusion criteria, including mild to moderate anxiety levels, the ability to communicate effectively, and willingness to participate in the intervention sessions. Anxiety levels were assessed using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.706). Prior to analysis using the paired t-test, data normality was assessed and confirmed to meet the normal distribution assumption. Results: The findings showed a statistically significant reduction in anxiety levels following the lavender aromatherapy intervention (p < 0.05). Before the intervention, 13.3% of participants experienced severe anxiety, 60.0% had moderate anxiety, and 26.7% had mild anxiety. After the intervention, 66.7% of participants were categorized as having mild anxiety, 33.3% experienced moderate anxiety, and no participants remained in the severe anxiety category. These results indicate an improvement in anxiety levels among elderly participants after the intervention. Conclusion: Lavender aromatherapy may serve as a complementary non-pharmacological intervention that can help reduce anxiety levels among elderly individuals living in nursing homes. This intervention may be considered as part of psychological support programs in geriatric care, although further studies using more rigorous research designs are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

Abstract

Postpartum (puerperium) is the period during which the internal genitalia return to normal, which lasts approximately 42 days or 6 weeks. This period is characterized by physical and hormonal changes, as well as adaptation to the new role of motherhood, which can trigger mood disorders, one of which is baby blues syndrome. This study aims to determine the prevalence of baby blues syndrome in postpartum mothers in Makassar City. The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and purposive sampling technique. The study involved 179 postpartum mothers in the service areas of four community health centers (Puskesmas) in Makassar City, namely Paccerakkang, Bara-Barayya, Tamangapa, and Tamalate. The instrument used was the Maternal Blues Scale questionnaire by Suryani Manurung. Data analysis was carried out using univariate analysis in the form of frequency distributions and percentages, and bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test. The results showed that 24 of the 179 respondents (13.4%) experienced baby blues syndrome. Bivariate analysis showed that age, education level, occupation, income, and parity were not significantly associated with the prevalence of baby blues syndrome in postpartum mothers. The results indicate that baby blues syndrome remains a mental health issue that requires special attention.

Abstract

Patient satisfaction serves as a key indicator of hospital service quality and reflects the success of Indonesia’s Universal Health Coverage (UHC) reform in the context of the Standard Inpatient Class (Kelas Rawat Inap Standar, KRIS) policy. To ensure equitable healthcare delivery, hospitals must evaluate not only service accessibility but also patient-centered experiences. The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) provides a standardized tool for assessing inpatient satisfaction, which remains limited in Indonesian hospital settings. This study aimed to assess inpatient satisfaction at a Semi-Urban Hospital. A mixed-method design with a convergent parallel approach was applied. The quantitative component used the HCAHPS questionnaire among 142 inpatients selected through purposive sampling and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The qualitative component employed a phenomenological approach with 13 informants (patients, nurses, administrators), analyzed using thematic analysis. Triangulation was used to enhance data validity. Inpatient satisfaction was moderate, with communication and interpersonal interactions representing key strengths, while pain management, medication communication, responsiveness, and environmental comfort remained areas for improvement. Qualitative findings indicated that patient experiences were influenced by communication, empathy, responsiveness, facility comfort, and perceptions of fairness during KRIS implementation. Continuous patient feedback, communication training, and improvements in service responsiveness may support patient-centered quality improvement.

Abstract

HIV testing behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM) is an important component of HIV prevention and control strategies because early detection enables individuals to receive timely diagnosis and access to treatment services. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with HIV testing behavior among MSM in Parepare City. A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 316 respondents. The study population consisted of MSM aged ≥18 years residing in Parepare City, with an estimated population of approximately 1,500 individuals. The sample was determined using the Slovin formula and selected through non-probability purposive sampling. The research instrument met the required validity criteria, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.480 to 0.760, exceeding the critical r value of 0.444, and reliability criteria with a Cronbach’s alpha value of [α value], indicating that the instrument was suitable for use. Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. The results showed that age, stigma toward health services, HIV knowledge, and social environment were significantly associated with HIV testing behavior (p<0.05). HIV knowledge was the most dominant factor in increasing the likelihood of HIV testing. In contrast, education, access to health services, self-efficacy, and sex were not significantly associated with HIV testing behavior after controlling for other variables. These findings indicate that knowledge, psychosocial factors, and the social environment play important roles in HIV testing behavior among MSM in Parepare City.

Abstract

Pain following caesarean section is one of the problems that can hinder the recovery process if it is not properly managed. Non-pharmacological interventions such as ball squeezing therapy and warm compresses can be used to improve the effectiveness of pain management. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of ball squeezing therapy and warm compresses on pain levels among post-sectio caesarea patients at Ngudi Waluyo Wlingi Regional Hospital. The study used a three-group quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, consisting of two intervention groups and one control group, involving 54 respondents selected using purposive sampling, with 18 respondents in each group. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale five minutes before and after the intervention. Warm compress therapy was applied using a Warm Water Zak (WWZ) at a temperature of 45–50°C twice, with each session lasting 10 minutes. Ball squeezing therapy was performed by rhythmically grasping and releasing a rubber ball according to breathing patterns and was administered twice, with each session lasting 10 minutes. The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare pain levels among the three groups, while the Mann–Whitney U test was used for pairwise comparisons between two groups. The average pain reduction in the control group was 2.39 points. The average pain reduction in the ball squeezing therapy group was 2.50 points. The average pain reduction in the warm compress group was 3.89 points. The reduction in pain between the control and warm compress groups averaged 1.66 points, with a p-value of 0.001, while the reduction in pain between the control and ball squeezing therapy groups averaged 0.50 points, with a p-value of 0.117. Warm compresses work through vasodilation and reduce inflammatory mediators around the surgical area, thereby providing a faster analgesic effect. Meanwhile, ball squeezing therapy works through the Gate Control Theory mechanism, but its distraction effect makes it less optimal because it does not directly affect the painful area. It was concluded that warm compresses are more effective than ball squeezing therapy in reducing post-caesarean section pain.

Abstract

The mental health of midwifery students is affected by academic pressure, social demands, and environmental factors. Peer support plays a crucial role in helping students cope with stress and maintain mental well-being. One in seven people aged 10–19 worldwide experiences a mental health problem, accounting for 13% of the disease burden. Often, these problems go unrecognized and untreated. Between 10 and 20 percent of adolescents experience psychological problems, and most adolescents experience symptoms that threaten their well-being. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between peer support and mental health in midwifery students at Muhammadiyah University of Semarang. This study used quantitative methods with a descriptive correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 69 midwifery students at Muhammadiyah University of Semarang, selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected through the peer support questionnaire and the SRQ-20 and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. There was a significant relationship between peer support and student mental health (p = 0.000). Students with good peer support tend to have more stable mental health and are better able to cope with academic stress. Peer support contributes to maintaining the mental health of midwifery students.

Abstract

Low birth weight and poor maternal nutritional status remain important public health concerns, particularly among women with high-risk pregnancies. Limited family involvement may reduce adherence to nutritional recommendations and antenatal care, thereby contributing to suboptimal maternal outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the association of structured home visits combined with family-centered midwifery care with family support and maternal weight among women with high-risk pregnancies. This quasi-experimental study used intervention and control groups with repeated measurements. A total of 104 pregnant women were initially enrolled, with 52 participants in each group. Four participants did not complete the study: two women in the intervention group relocated, whereas one woman in the control group relocated and one voluntarily withdrew. The final analysis included 100 participants, with 50 women in each group. The intervention group received structured home visits, early risk detection, individualized nutritional counseling, maternal health monitoring, and active family involvement for 12 weeks, whereas the control group received routine antenatal care. Maternal weight was measured repeatedly from baseline to the third trimester. Data were analyzed using association analysis, repeated-measures ANOVA, an independent-samples t-test, ANCOVA, and multiple linear regression. Assignment to the intervention group was statistically associated with a higher family-support score (point-biserial r=0.724; 95% CI: 0.615–0.806; p<0.001). At the third-trimester measurement, mean maternal weight was 57.80±7.96 kg in the intervention group and 51.02±6.69 kg in the control group. The mean difference was 6.78 kg (95% CI: 3.86–9.69; p<0.001). After adjustment for maternal age, education, occupation, and parity, the group effect remained statistically significant (F=19.852; p<0.001; partial η²=0.174). Family support had a statistically significant individual regression coefficient (B=3.288; 95% CI: 0.819–5.758; p=0.010); however, the overall regression model was not statistically significant (R²=0.088; p=0.117). Structured home visits combined with family-centered midwifery care were associated with higher family support and higher third-trimester maternal weight among women with high-risk pregnancies. These findings should be interpreted cautiously because of the nonrandomized design and the absence of formal mediation analysis.

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms experienced by pregnant women during the first trimester, primarily associated with hormonal and physiological changes. Ginger, lemon, honey, and vitamin B6 have been widely used as complementary approaches to alleviate pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of three interventions: ginger-lemon-honey, ginger-lemon-honey combined with vitamin B6, and vitamin B6 alone in reducing nausea and vomiting among pregnant women with emesis gravidarum. A quasi-experimental study with a three-group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 45 first-trimester pregnant women experiencing nausea and vomiting. Participants were selected using purposive sampling and allocated into three intervention groups: ginger-lemon-honey, ginger-lemon-honey plus vitamin B6, and vitamin B6 alone. Nausea and vomiting severity was assessed before and after the intervention using the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE-24) scale. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis, one-way ANOVA, and ANCOVA to evaluate differences between groups after adjustment for baseline scores. All three intervention groups demonstrated a significant reduction in nausea and vomiting following the intervention (p < 0.001). The ginger-lemon-honey plus vitamin B6 group showed the lowest adjusted mean PUQE-24 score of 6.002 (95% CI [5.4–6.5]), followed by the ginger-lemon-honey group with an adjusted mean of 7.590 (95% CI [7.0–8.1]), and the vitamin B6 group with an adjusted mean of 9.342 (95% CI [8.8–9.8]). These findings indicate that the combined ginger-lemon-honey and vitamin B6 intervention resulted in the lowest adjusted PUQE-24 score compared with either intervention alone. The combination of ginger, lemon, honey, and vitamin B6 was more effective in reducing nausea and vomiting among first-trimester pregnant women with emesis gravidarum than ginger-lemon-honey or vitamin B6 alone. This combined intervention may provide a comprehensive complementary approach through mechanisms involving gastrointestinal, neurological, psychological, and metabolic pathways.

Abstract

Background: Hypercholesterolemia, especially increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Lantana camara (komba-komba) contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phenolics that have antioxidant activity and have the potential as hypolipidemic agents. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of Lantana camara leaf decoction on LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in Wistar rats induced by a high-fat diet. Method: The study used a randomized pretest–posttest controlled pure experimental design. A total of 25 male Wistar rats were divided into five groups, namely negative control, positive control with simvastatin 10 mg/kgBW, and treatment groups with Lantana camara decoction doses of 250, 500, and 750 mg/kgBW. The intervention was given orally for three weeks. LDL-C and HDL-C levels were measured before and after the intervention using a colorimetric enzymatic method and analyzed using ANOVA and further tests with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Lantana camara decoction showed a decrease in LDL-C, with the largest decrease at a dose of 750 mg/kgBW (Δ −86.6 mg/dL), followed by doses of 500 mg/kgBW (Δ −76.8 mg/dL) and 250 mg/kgBW (Δ −40.0 mg/dL). Significant differences compared to the negative control were found at doses of 500 and 750 mg/kgBW. However, there was no significant increase in HDL-C in the treatment group. Conclusion: Lantana camara leaf decoction has the potential to reduce LDL-C levels in rats with hyperlipidemia due to a high-fat diet, especially at doses of 500 and 750 mg/kgBW, but has not shown effectiveness in increasing HDL-C.

Abstract

Outpatient care requires accurate, timely, convenient, and secure patient identification. However, problems related to patient identification, administrative efficiency, and data security may affect patients’ experiences and satisfaction. FRISTA is a biometric authentication system designed to support automated patient identification. Nevertheless, the association between FRISTA use and outpatient satisfaction in primary healthcare settings in Indonesia remains insufficiently evaluated. This study aimed to examine the association between the use of the FRISTA application and outpatient satisfaction at Darkuthni Primary Clinic, Tojo Una-Una Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 150 outpatients selected using stratified random sampling from the Obstetrics and Gynecology, Internal Medicine, and Neurology Clinics. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and multivariate binary logistic regression, with results expressed as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The Chi-square test showed that ease of service access, service speed, patient identification accuracy, and personal data security were significantly associated with patient satisfaction (p < 0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression showed that patient identification accuracy (OR = 2.226; 95% CI: 1.019–4.861; p = 0.045) and personal data security (OR = 1.748; 95% CI: 1.028–2.972; p = 0.039) remained significantly associated with patient satisfaction, whereas ease of service access and service speed were not independently associated with patient satisfaction. The multivariate binary logistic regression model yielded a Nagelkerke R² of 0.897. The use of the FRISTA biometric application was significantly associated with outpatient satisfaction. Therefore, improving patient identification accuracy and strengthening personal data security should be prioritized in implementing biometric-based digital health systems in primary healthcare settings to enhance patient satisfaction.
