Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem with a continuously increasing prevalence, requiring accurate and continuous blood glucose monitoring. Venous blood glucose measurement using enzymatic methods remains the clinical gold standard; however, it is invasive and less practical for routine monitoring. Recent advances in sensor technology provide opportunities to develop more practical and user-friendly glucose monitoring devices. This preliminary pilot study aimed to develop and validate a needle-free sensor-based device for blood glucose monitoring and to evaluate the agreement of its measurement results with venous blood glucose examination using enzymatic methods as the reference standard. This study employed a research and development approach. The initial stage involved designing and developing a prototype sensor that monitors blood glucose without a needle. Device validation was conducted by experts to assess technical performance, safety, and usability. Subsequently, a pilot measurement of random blood glucose levels was performed among 25 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a primary healthcare setting, and the measurement results were compared with venous blood glucose values obtained using enzymatic methods. The validation results indicated that the device was technically feasible, safe to use, and easy to operate. Pilot testing demonstrated that the sensor-based device produced blood glucose measurements comparable to those from the reference method (Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test: Z = 0.000, p = 1.000), providing preliminary evidence of statistical similarity. However, further refinement is required, particularly in the interpretation and display of measurement results. These findings represent initial proof-of-concept for the device as an alternative tool for blood glucose monitoring, especially in primary healthcare settings and for patient self-monitoring. Comprehensive studies with larger, more diverse samples and advanced clinical agreement analyses (Bland-Altman plots, and MARD) are needed to confirm clinical accuracy and reliability.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic growth disorder in children under five years old caused by prolonged malnutrition and inadequate nutritional intake. Several factors contribute to stunting, including poor parenting practices, low maternal education, limited family income, and irregular attendance at community health services such as Posyandu. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between parenting patterns and adherence to Posyandu visits with the incidence of stunting among children aged 12–59 months in Putatkumpul Village, Turi District, Lamongan Regency. This study employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 127 parents with toddlers selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires assessing parenting patterns and adherence to Posyandu visits, while stunting status was determined using child growth charts. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman rho test in SPSS version 22.0 with a significance level of p < 0.05. The findings revealed that 14.5% of respondents with an authoritative parenting style had stunted children. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between parenting patterns and stunting incidence (p = 0.010; rs = 0.228), indicating a weak correlation. Furthermore, all respondents with high adherence to Posyandu visits had non-stunted children. A significant relationship was also found between adherence to Posyandu visits and stunting incidence (p = 0.009; rs = 0.230), indicating a weak correlation. Although parenting practices and Posyandu attendance are not direct causes of stunting, both contribute to early detection of growth problems and support optimal child nutrition. Therefore, health education regarding appropriate parenting and the importance of regular Posyandu visits is essential to improve stunting prevention efforts at the community level.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a major occupational health concern among nurses, contributing to pain, disability, absenteeism, and increased healthcare costs. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ergonomic interventions in preventing MSDs among nurses and to identify key implementation factors. The review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A systematic search was conducted across four databases (Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL) for studies published between 2019 and 2025. Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies were included, and methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. Due to heterogeneity in interventions and outcomes, findings were synthesized narratively. Ten studies involving 1,875 nurses were included. Multimodal ergonomic interventions combining training, assistive devices, and organizational support demonstrated the strongest effects. Equipment-based interventions significantly reduced back injuries when compliance was high, while educational programs improved ergonomic knowledge with variable clinical outcomes. Technology-assisted interventions showed promising results in reducing MSD incidence. Overall, ergonomic interventions are effective in reducing MSD risk among nurses, particularly when implemented through comprehensive and well-supported programs. Organizational readiness and resource availability are critical for successful implementation. Future research should focus on long-term outcomes and implementation strategies.

Abstract

Pressure ulcers are a serious health problem that serve as an indicator of hospital service quality. Proper management and prevention are important for reducing the impact and supporting infection control. If not handled appropriately and promptly, pressure ulcers can become a serious threat to patients, especially for those in total care. There is a need for an efficient and effective innovation to prevent pressure ulcers, one of which is the application of pressure ulcer prevention bundle care. This study aims to describe how well nurses implement a care bundle designed to prevent pressure ulcers in patients who require total care. This research belongs to a quantitative study with a descriptive design. The sample consisted of 34 respondents using a total sampling technique. Data analysis used univariate analysis and frequency distribution tables. The frequency distribution of respondents’ age was mostly in the adult category, with 29 respondents (85.3%). Gender was mostly in the female category with 31 respondents (91.2%). Education was mostly in the Diploma III in Nursing category, with 28 respondents (82.4%). Work experience was mostly in the category of more than 3 years, with 32 respondents (94.1%). The category of bundle care implementation for pressure ulcer prevention was mostly in the good category with 23 respondents (67.6%) and fairly good in 11 respondents (32.4%). The implementation of bundle care for pressure ulcer prevention among total care patients at RSUD Muntilan was mostly carried out well by nurses. To ensure that all nurses implement bundle care optimally, we need to improve consistency and conduct periodic evaluations.

Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects aging men. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) represents the standard surgical management for moderate to severe conditions. Postoperative pain remains a significant clinical problem. Conventional analgesic management demonstrates adverse effects. Variable patient responses remain evident. Non-pharmacological strategies require evaluation. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of non-pharmacological nursing interventions in postoperative pain management following BPH surgery. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane CENTRAL. The publication period is from January 2017 to December 2024. Inclusion criteria comprised randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, adult patients undergoing BPH surgery, non-pharmacological interventions, and pain outcomes using validated instruments. PRISMA 2020 guidelines guided study selection. Joanna Briggs Institute appraisal tools assessed methodological quality. Narrative synthesis was applied due to heterogeneity. A total of 1,086 records were identified. Ten studies met inclusion criteria. Seven randomized controlled trials. Three quasi-experimental studies. Interventions included relaxation techniques, transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, acupuncture, pranic healing, enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, and integrative approaches. Relaxation techniques reduced pain intensity (p < 0.001). Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation decreased catheter-related bladder discomfort and reduced analgesic consumption. Acupuncture demonstrated sustained improvement in chronic pelvic pain (p < 0.001). Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols reduced catheterization duration and decreased early postoperative pain. Evidence quality ranged from moderate to high. Non-pharmacological nursing interventions demonstrate effectiveness in postoperative pain reduction. Improved recovery outcomes observed. Further multicenter trials required. The development of standardized clinical guidelines is recommended.

Abstract

Bullying is a mental and social health problem that significantly affects the psychosocial development of children and adolescents. Differences in developmental characteristics across educational levels may influence individuals' involvement as perpetrators and victims. This study examines variations in bullying incidence from the viewpoints of both perpetrators and victims across three educational tiers (elementary, junior high, and senior high) in Tegal City, Indonesia. This quantitative study used a descriptive comparative design involving 90 students selected through purposive sampling (30 elementary, 30 juniors high, and 30 seniors high). Bullying perpetration and victimization were measured using the Peer Relations Questionnaire (PRQ). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with a significance level of 0.05. There was a significant difference in bullying victim scores across educational levels (F=3.935, p=0.023), with higher victimization among junior high (mean=9.07) and senior high students (mean=8.87) compared to elementary students (mean=7.37). Perpetrator scores showed variation between levels (elementary mean=7.87, junior high mean=8.67, and senior high mean=8.83), but differences did not reach strong statistical significance. These findings support Erikson's psychosocial developmental theory that adolescents in the identity versus role confusion stage are more vulnerable to relational conflict and social pressure, increasing victimization risk. Bullying incidence, particularly from the victim perspective, differs significantly across educational levels, indicating the need for developmentally tailored prevention strategies in schools.

Abstract

Patients with Parkinson's disease require long-term care, and family members provide most of this care. This study aims to explore the experiences, feelings, and significance of family members caring for patients with parkinson's disease. This study utilized a qualitative research design with a descriptive phenomenological approach, conducted in Bali in 2025. Semi-structured interviews were performed with six participants, selected through purposive and snowball sampling methods. The data analysis process incorporated interactive analysis, which comprised data collection, condensation, data display, and the formulation of conclusions. The results consist of five main interrelated themes. These themes are family burden vs responsibility, adaptation to a new life, surrender, many roads to Rome, and life expectancy. As the main caregiver, the family experiences many trials, obstacles, emotional changes, financial difficulties, fatigue, and increasing burdens; however, they were able to recover and did not give up on continuing their lives. Medical personnel and local health facilities are expected to collaborate in conducting physical and psychological health assessments for families and providing information about available resources, such as health services and Parkinson's community groups. Healthcare workers are expected to understand, implement preventive measures, and provide solutions to reduce caregiver burden and improve the quality of life for patients with Parkinson's disease and their families.
