Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, with radiotherapy being a primary treatment option, including the use of Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT). Although this technique precisely delivers radiation doses to the target area, exposure to surrounding organs often causes gastrointestinal side effects, particularly diarrhea. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of radiation fractionation on the occurrence of diarrhea in cervical cancer patients treated at MRCCC Siloam Semanggi Hospital. A quantitative descriptive design was applied using questionnaires based on a simplified version of CTCAE v5.0, supported by direct observation and interviews. A total of 10 patients participated, resulting in 50 questionnaire entries collected at the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th fractions. The results showed that most patients experienced mild diarrhea starting from the mid-treatment phase (15th fraction), while some showed fluctuating patterns with two peaks (15th and 25th fractions), and others remained stable with mild symptoms. No patients reached grade 3 (severely affecting daily activities). In conclusion, fractionated radiation exposure was associated with the onset of diarrhea, but symptoms were generally mild to moderate. Regular monitoring and nutritional education are essential strategies to minimize gastrointestinal toxicity and maintain patients’ quality of life during therapy.

Abstract

Hypertension is a growing health concern that can begin in adolescence and persist into adulthood. Nutritional factors such as nutritional status, sodium intake, and fiber intake play a key role in influencing blood pressure. This study aims to examine the relationship between nutritional status, sodium adequacy, and fiber adequacy with the incidence of hypertension among junior high school students. This research employed a cross-sectional design with a total of 64 students selected through purposive sampling. Nutritional status was assessed using Body Mass Index-for-Age (BMI/A), while sodium and fiber adequacy were measured using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The findings showed a significant relationship between nutritional status, sodium adequacy, and fiber adequacy with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.05). Nutritional status had a positive correlation with blood pressure, while sodium intake and fiber intake showed a negative correlation. There is a significant association between nutritional status, sodium adequacy, and fiber adequacy with blood pressure in adolescents. Promoting balanced nutrition from an early age is important to prevent the onset of hypertension.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major global public health concern and one of the leading causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In Indonesia, its prevalence continues to rise, particularly among adults in primary healthcare settings. Complementary and alternative treatments using natural ingredients have gained attention for their accessibility, affordability, and cultural acceptance. Bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) is a traditional Indonesian medicinal plant containing flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids, which have vasodilatory and diuretic properties. This study aimed to analyze the effect of bay leaf decoction on systolic blood pressure reduction among hypertensive patients at the Gambut Health Center. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was applied involving 15 hypertensive patients selected through purposive sampling. Participants consumed 200 ml of bay leaf decoction once daily for seven consecutive days. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention using a digital sphygmomanometer, and data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant decrease in mean systolic blood pressure from 156.53 ± 12.48 mmHg to 136.00 ± 10.23 mmHg (p = 0.000061). This finding demonstrates that bay leaf decoction effectively lowers systolic blood pressure among hypertensive patients. In conclusion, bay leaf decoction can be recommended as a safe, affordable, and culturally accepted complementary therapy for managing hypertension in primary healthcare settings.

Abstract

Digital transformation in healthcare has become a major focus of the Indonesian government through the development of the Mobile JKN application by BPJS Kesehatan. However, at Dumai General Hospital (RSUD Dumai), the utilization rate of this application remains low. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the low adoption of Mobile JKN in patient registration using the Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) by Ram and Sheth (1989), which includes five dimensions: Usage Barrier, Value Barrier, Risk Barrier, Tradition Barrier, and Image Barrier. The research applied a qualitative case study approach involving key informants consisting of both users and non-users of Mobile JKN, as well as hospital registration staff. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and field observations, then analyzed thematically. The findings show that low adoption is influenced by limited digital literacy among elderly patients (Usage Barrier), perceptions that manual registration is faster (Value Barrier), concerns about data security and technical issues (Risk Barrier), strong preference for face-to-face interactions (Tradition Barrier), and the negative image of the application due to system errors and insufficient socialization (Image Barrier).

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a major public health concern in Indonesia. This study focuses on the perceptions of mothers of toddlers regarding the definition, causes, and prevention of stunting. This study aims to determine the perceptions of mothers of toddlers regarding stunting, its causes, and its prevention in the Oele Community Health Center Work Area, Rote Ndao Regency. This research method uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. The main informants were mothers of toddlers, key informants were nutrition program holders, and supporting informants were integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman (1984) model in (Sugiyono, 2010).The results of this study indicate that all mothers of toddlers understand stunting as a condition of shortness of breath due to malnutrition and that stunting is caused by genetic factors. The most frequently cited causes of stunting are inadequate nutritional intake, suboptimal parenting, and environmental hygiene. Preventive measures include exclusive breastfeeding, immunization, nutritious food, and maintaining good hygiene, although economic constraints and misperceptions about heredity remain.In conclusion, mothers of toddlers understand stunting as a condition of short stature due to malnutrition, although some mothers still attribute it to hereditary factors. According to mothers, the main causes of stunting are low nutritional intake, difficulty eating, and suboptimal parenting. Mothers also believe that stunting is caused by hereditary factors. Preventive measures include exclusive breastfeeding, immunization, and nutritious food. The main obstacle to prevention is economic constraints.

Abstract

Management of hazardous and toxic medical waste (B3) in hospitals is an important aspect in efforts to maintain environmental safety and public health. This study aims to determine the flow of B3 medical waste management at Mental Hospital X, Medan City, which includes the stages of waste sorting, storage, and transportation. This type of research is descriptive observational with a cross-sectional approach, using secondary data from the Environmental Sanitation Installation for the period January–September 2025. The results of the study indicate that the overall management of B3 medical waste is not optimal and does not meet standards. The sorting stage has not been carried out based on the type of waste, where all waste (sharp, soft, pharmaceutical) is mixed without labeling. The storage stage at the Temporary Storage Place (TPS) for B3 medical waste also does not meet design requirements, such as the building is not closed, not watertight, not equipped with hazard symbols, and emergency facilities. Although transportation has collaborated with a licensed third party (PT X), the risk remains due to the transported waste being mixed and not properly sorted. In conclusion, Mental Hospital X has critical non-conformities in the management of B3 medical waste. Therefore, fundamental improvements, especially in sorting at source and renovation of TPS, are urgent to reduce the risk of contamination and environmental impacts.
