Abstract

Latent tuberculosis is an asymptomatic condition caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can progress to active TB if not properly controlled. A preliminary survey at the Padang Bulan Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas) identified 40 individuals receiving tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) in 2024–2025. This study aimed to identify factors associated with the incidence of latent TB (LTBI) in the Padang Bulan Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas) working area in 2025. This analytical study used a cross-sectional design with 44 respondents selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and health center records, then analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that age was not significantly associated with the incidence of latent TB (p=0.160). Meanwhile, duration of contact (p=0.037), occupation (p=0.044), clean and healthy living behaviors (p=0.042), residential density (p=0.019), and BCG vaccination history (p=0.019) showed a significant association with LTBI. Respondents with prolonged contact, high-risk occupations, poor health behaviors, overcrowded housing, and not being vaccinated against BCG were more likely to develop LTBI. These findings emphasize the need for more intensive LTBI screening, better health education, and increased vaccination coverage to reduce the risk of LTBI in the community.

Abstract

This research aimed to examine the association between pregnant women’s knowledge and their involvement in HIV testing at the Nisam Health Center, North Aceh Regency. The study was motivated by the relatively low level of participation among pregnant women in HIV screening, which is crucial for early identification and prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission. A quantitative analytic method with a cross-sectional design was applied. The study population included all pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) services at the Nisam Health Center, and 60 participants were chosen through purposive sampling. Data were obtained using structured questionnaires and analyzed with the Chi-Square statistical test. The findings indicated that more than half of the respondents (31 women or 53.4%) demonstrated a moderate level of knowledge, while most participants (44 women or 75.8%) had undergone HIV testing. The statistical results showed a significant correlation between the respondents’ knowledge level and their participation in HIV testing (p = 0.001 < 0.05). Therefore, it can be inferred that higher knowledge among pregnant women increases the likelihood of their engagement in HIV screening. Health professionals are encouraged to strengthen educational efforts and counseling to enhance awareness of the importance of HIV testing during pregnancy as a preventive measure against vertical transmission.

Abstract

Premarital sexual behavior among adolescents has become an urgent public health concern in North Aceh due to increasing reports of risky behaviors and limited access to accurate reproductive health information. The study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of premarital sexual knowledge and sexual behavior among adolescents at SMA Negeris 1 Nisam, North Aceh Regency. This research used a quantitative analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of students of SMA Negeri 1 Nisam, and the sample was selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires assessing knowledge and sexual behavior and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of premarital sexual knowledge (49.4%) and mild premarital sexual behavior (73%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between the level of premarital sexual knowledge and adolescent sexual behavior (p-value = 0.003; ? = 0.05). It can be concluded that adolescents with better knowledge of premarital sex tend to exhibit more responsible and less risky sexual behaviors. It is suggested that adolescents should enhance their understanding of reproductive health and sexual education from credible sources to prevent misconceptions and risky behaviors.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) in reducing dysmenorrhea pain intensity among women of reproductive age. However, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of SEFT for dysmenorrhea pain management, particularly using experimental designs, remains limited. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted at PMB Lina, Palembang City. A total of 30 women experiencing mild to moderate primary dysmenorrhea were included using a total population sampling technique. The SEFT intervention consisted of guided sessions involving set-up affirmations, tune-in focus, and tapping on specific acupressure points for approximately 20–25 minutes. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed a significant decrease in dysmenorrhea pain intensity after the SEFT intervention. Before treatment, most respondents experienced moderate pain, while after the intervention, the majority reported mild pain, and several respondents experienced a substantial reduction in discomfort. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest pain scores (p < 0.05). In conclusion, SEFT therapy is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain intensity and can be recommended as a safe, practical, and low-cost complementary non-pharmacological intervention for menstrual pain management.

Abstract

Introduction: Childbirth-related anxiety is commonly experienced by primigravida pregnant women and may negatively affect maternal psychological readiness for labor. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a non-pharmacological intervention that may help reduce anxiety during pregnancy. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design conducted among 30 third-trimester primigravida pregnant women with mild to moderate anxiety. Participants were selected using total population sampling. The PMR intervention consisted of guided relaxation sessions involving sequential muscle tension and release combined with controlled breathing for 20–25 minutes. Anxiety levels were measured before and after the intervention using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The results showed a significant reduction in anxiety scores following the PMR intervention. Before the intervention, most participants experienced moderate anxiety, whereas after the intervention, the majority demonstrated mild anxiety. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest anxiety scores (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Progressive Muscle Relaxation therapy is effective in reducing childbirth-related anxiety among primigravida pregnant women. PMR can be recommended as a safe, simple, and low-cost complementary intervention in antenatal care to enhance maternal psychological preparedness for childbirth.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of combined tummy time and baby yoga interventions in improving gross motor development among infants. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted at TPMB Rama Agustina from September to October 2025. A total of 32 infants aged 2–6 months were included using a total population sampling technique based on eligibility criteria. The intervention consisted of guided tummy time sessions and structured baby yoga movements focusing on postural control, muscle activation, flexibility, and vestibular stimulation, delivered for approximately 20–25 minutes per session. Gross motor development was assessed before and after the intervention using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed a significant increase in AIMS scores after the intervention. Before treatment, most infants demonstrated motor skills below expected milestones for age, whereas posttest findings indicated notable improvements in antigravity control, weight shifting, and transitional movements. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the combination of tummy time and baby yoga is effective in enhancing gross motor development in infants and can be recommended as a safe, low-cost, and practical complementary stimulation strategy suitable for implementation in community health services and early childhood care settings.

Abstract

Hot work climate is a physical environmental factor that can affect both physical and mental health of workers. Continuous exposure to excessive heat without adequate control may trigger physiological responses. This study aimed to determine the correlation between hot work climate and work-related fatigue among parking ticket attendants in the Megamas Manado area. This study employed quantitative approach using an analytical survey design with cross-sectional method. The study population consisted of all 63 parking ticket attendants. Data were collected through direct measurement of heat exposure using heat stress monitor and assessment of work-related fatigue using standardized fatigue questionnaire. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Pearson correlation test. The statistical analysis revealed significant correlation between hot work climate and work-related fatigue among parking ticket attendants (p-value = 0.001). The correlation coefficient (r = 0.401) indicated moderate positive correlation, suggesting that higher heat exposure was associated with increased levels of work-related fatigue. There is significant positive correlation between hot work climate and work-related fatigue among parking ticket attendants. These findings highlight the importance of implementing effective heat control measures to reduce fatigue and improve occupational health and work performance.

Abstract

The incidence of mental health problems among adolescents (aged 10-14 years) is increasing, causing a burden of disease. This study aimed to determine the relationship between adolescent characteristics and mental health problems. The study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional study design. The sample consisted of 315 junior high school and senior high school students in the Kebasen Subdistrict, Banyumas Regency. Proportionate stratified random sampling was used for sample selection. Data collection was carried out using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and the data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The research findings indicated that age, gender, history of psychological distress, child's education, parental education, school type, and socioeconomic status were significantly associated with mental health difficulties (p-value < 0.05). The variables most significantly contributing to the likelihood of developing mental health difficulties were early adolescence (p-value < 0.05; OR 6.75), low socioeconomic status (p-value < 0.05; OR 6.42), and a history of psychological distress (p-value < 0.05; OR 5.75). Conversely, child's and parental education, as well as school type, showed significant associations but with a lower likelihood. Variables significantly associated with and increasing the likelihood of prosocial mental health problems included a history of psychological distress (p-value < 0.05; OR 11.04), early adolescence (p-value < 0.05; OR 3.78), and low socioeconomic status (p-value < 0.05; OR 2.19). School-based mental health interventions are needed to reduce risk factors and promote adolescent mental health.
