Abstract

Background: Eating behavior plays a vital role in both the prevention and management of chronic illnesses associated with poor nutrition. Children who are overweight tend to display stronger food responsiveness, derive more enjoyment from eating, and often consume more food in response to emotional cues. The aim of this study was to assess eating behaviors among young children in a selected Upazila of Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 103 mothers with children aged between 1 and 5 years. Participants were chosen using a convenience sampling method. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire comprising two sections: Part 1 included socio-demographic information, and Part 2 consisted of the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ). Data analysis was performed using both descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS version 26. Results: The study found a moderate overall mean score (2.91 ± 0.33) in children's eating behaviors, with variability observed across the eight subscales of the CEBQ. The average age of participating mothers was 27.75 years (SD = 3.816). Statistically significant associations were observed between children’s eating behaviors and various socio-demographic factors, including mothers’ education level (F = 5.519, p = 0.005), fathers’ education level (F = 7.328, p = 0.000), fathers’ occupation (F = 2.687, p = 0.036), and the number of siblings (r = 0.334, p = 0.001). Conclusion: The findings highlight meaningful associations between several demographic variables and children's eating behaviors. These results support the need for policy-level initiatives aimed at promoting food security and balanced nutrition during early childhood, with the goal of reducing malnutrition and supporting healthy development in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE) is a crucial factor in the success of exclusive breastfeeding, as it reflects a mother’s confidence in her ability to breastfeed. One approach to enhancing BSE is ensuring maternal compliance with antenatal care (ANC) visits, which play a role by providing information, emotional support, and psychological readiness during pregnancy. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between ANC visit compliance and BSE among breastfeeding mothers in the working area of Rejosari Public Health Center. Methods: This quantitative study employed a retrospective approach with a correlational analytic design. The sample consisted of 82 breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 0–6 months, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale–Short Form (BSE-SF) questionnaire and by observing ANC visit records from Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak (KIA) books. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Results: A significant relationship was found between ANC visit compliance and BSE in breastfeeding mothers (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Mothers who complied with ANC visits tended to have higher BSE compared to those who did not comply. These findings emphasize that ANC visits should be optimized as strategic opportunities for health professionals to deliver structured education, psychosocial support, and breastfeeding counseling, thereby enhancing maternal readiness and ensuring successful exclusive breastfeeding

Abstract

Background: The treatment compliance of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (TB RO) patients in Indonesia remains suboptimal, with a therapy success rate of only 51%. Various psychosocial determinants such as perceived respect from healthcare providers, effective communication, and family support are believed to influence patients’ adherence, with motivation serving as a potential psychological mediator. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of respect, effective communication, and family support on treatment compliance among TB RO patients, with motivation as an intervening variable. Method: A quantitative approach using a cross-sectional design was applied. The study population comprised 116 TB RO patients treated at Tangerang City Hospital, and 90 respondents were selected using Slovin’s formula with simple random sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS 4. Results: Respect from healthcare providers did not significantly affect treatment compliance (T=0.533; p=0.594). Effective communication showed no direct influence on compliance, but had a significant indirect effect through motivation (T=3.349; p=0.001). Family support had a significant direct effect on compliance (T=2.058; p=0.040) and also influenced compliance indirectly via motivation. Motivation acted as a mediator between effective communication and family support with compliance, but did not mediate the effect of respect. Conclusion: Family support emerged as the most influential factor in improving treatment compliance among TB RO patients. Strengthening patients’ motivation through enhanced respect and effective communication from healthcare providers is recommended to improve adherence outcomes

Abstract

Studi empiris ini menyelidiki hubungan fisikokimia antara residu keringat dan terjadinya pelepasan muatan listrik statis (ESD) pada kulit manusia. Akumulasi residu keringat, yang kaya akan komponen ionik seperti Na?, K?, dan Cl?, dihipotesiskan memengaruhi konduktivitas permukaan kulit dan, selanjutnya, potensi pelepasan muatan statis. Studi kuasi-eksperimental ini melibatkan 100 peserta sehat yang dibagi rata menjadi dua kelompok: mereka yang memiliki residu keringat alami (eksperimental) dan mereka yang memiliki permukaan kulit yang bersih (kontrol). Pembacaan voltmeter elektrostatik dan analisis kromatografi ion dilakukan untuk mengkuantifikasi potensi pelepasan dan konsentrasi ion residu. Hasil menunjukkan tegangan pelepasan yang secara signifikan lebih tinggi pada kelompok residu keringat (mean = 2,42 kV, SD = 0,45) dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol (mean = 1,68 kV, SD = 0,32; p < 0,001). Residu natrium menunjukkan korelasi positif yang kuat dengan besarnya pelepasan ( r = 0,73, p < 0,001). Temuan ini menyoroti pentingnya pengelolaan hidrasi kulit dan pengendalian residu di lingkungan pelayanan kesehatan untuk mencegah kejadian mikrostatik. Penelitian lebih lanjut direkomendasikan untuk mengevaluasi risiko ESD pada berbagai tingkat kelembapan dan komposisi kulit.

Abstract

Introduction: Neurosurgical services in Class B hospitals present a high level of complexity due to limitations in technology, facilities, and human resources. This study aims to explore the subjective experiences of neurosurgical medical teams, comprising neurosurgeons, nurses, anesthetists, medical equipment technicians, and operating room managers, in interpreting their roles, confronting challenges, and developing adaptive strategies to support excellent healthcare services at a Class B hospital. Methods: Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically following Colaizzi’s method. Results: The findings indicate that service excellence in neurosurgical care within a resource-limited hospital is maintained through the dynamic interaction between professional meaning-making, persistent multidimensional challenges, and adaptive resilience strategies. While individual and team-level adaptations effectively sustain daily performance, limited systemic support poses challenges to long-term sustainability. Conclusion: Overall, the study highlights that the success of excellent neurosurgical services in Class B hospitals depends more on personal resilience and team cohesion than on systemic support alone. Recommendation: It recommends systemic improvements in management, human resource policies, integrated communication systems, and sustainable psychosocial support to ensure the continuity of high-quality services amid structural limitations

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a prevalent condition among the elderly, often leading to poor sleep quality. Objective: This case study aimed to describe the effect of Slow Stroke Back Massage (SSBM) combined with family nursing care in improving sleep quality among elderly hypertensive patients. Method: This descriptive case study involved two elderly hypertensive patients receiving family nursing care at Puskesmas Tambak Wedi, Surabaya. The intervention consisted of SSBM performed for 30 minutes every two days for a week. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: Both patients showed improved sleep quality, as indicated by decreased PSQI scores (from 14 to 5 and from 16 to 6) and better blood pressure control. These findings describe individual improvements observed in two cases. Recommendation: Slow Stroke Back Massage can be considered a supportive nursing intervention within family care. However, as this study involved only two participants, the findings are not generalizable and should be interpreted as case-based observations

Abstract

Background: The brand awareness level of the Dental and Oral Teaching Hospital (RSGM-P) at University X remains low, as indicated by the predominance of patients referred by student initiatives (90%) and limited walk-in visits (10%). This may result from the underutilization of social media, low customer engagement, and insufficient electronic word of mouth (eWOM). Objective: This study aims to analyze the effects of social media activities and customer engagement on brand awareness, with eWOM as a mediating variable. Method: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 205 non-student Instagram followers of RSGM-P. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via LISREL. Results: The findings reveal that social media activity and eWOM significantly influence brand awareness, while customer engagement has no direct effect. However, customer engagement positively influences eWOM, which in turn mediates its effect on brand awareness. Managerial implications emphasize the need for enhanced content strategies, influencer collaboration, and online reputation management. Recommendation: It is recommended that RSGM-P optimize SEO-friendly educational content, strengthen user interactions, and encourage patient reviews as part of brand trust-building efforts. Recomendation: This study contributes to the strategic understanding of digital media utilization in marketing for university-based hospitals
