<![CDATA[Sleep disorders in adolescents are common health problems that can affect physical health, emotional well-being, and learning ability. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be used to help improve sleep quality is lavender aromatherapy, which has a relaxing effect on the nervous system. This study aimed to determine the effect of lavender aromatherapy on sleep quality among adolescents at SMK Muhammadiyah 7 Gondanglegi. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one group pretest - posttest approach. The population in this study consisted of 60 twelfth-grade nursing students at SMK Muhammadiyah 7 Gondanglegi, while the sample included 43 respondents selected using purposive sampling technique. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire before and after the intervention of lavender aromatherapy for seven days. Data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that the mean PSQI score before the intervention was 12.35, while after the intervention it decreased to 5.23, indicating an average reduction of 7.12 points. The statistical test showed a p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means that there was a significant effect of lavender aromatherapy on improving adolescents' sleep quality. Based on these results, it can be concluded that lavender aromatherapy has an effect on improving sleep quality in adolescents and can be used as a non-pharmacological alternative therapy to help overcome sleep disorders.]]>

<![CDATA[Primigravida women those experiencing pregnancy for the first time and lacking prior knowledge of physical changes and the childbirth process tend to experience higher levels of anxiety compared to multigravida women. Therefore, non-pharmacological interventions are needed to help facilitate the labor process, one of which is the use of autogenic relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety in third-trimester pregnant women. This study aimed to determine the effect of autogenic relaxation techniques on the anxiety levels of third-trimester pregnant women at TPMB Ike Sri Mei Wulan, Bululawang District, Malang Regency. The research employed a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 27 third-trimester pregnant women selected through purposive sampling from a population of 40 individuals. The instrument used was the PRAQ-R2 questionnaire to measure anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods, with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test applied for statistical analysis. The results showed that before the intervention, most respondents experienced moderate anxiety, while after the intervention, the majority experienced mild anxiety. The Wilcoxon test result indicated a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), demonstrating a significant effect of autogenic relaxation techniques in reducing anxiety levels among third-trimester pregnant women. This therapy can be implemented as a non-pharmacological approach to help reduce anxiety in pregnant women during the third trimester.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted cardiovascular health, particularly in Asian populations. These communities already experience high rates of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), exacerbated by various socio-economic, lifestyle, and genetic factors. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular disease risks and outcomes in Asian populations. Methods: Studies published between 2020 and 2025 were included, focusing on adults (≥18 years) from Asian countries. A random-effects model was employed to pool effect sizes, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic. Risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on geographic region, pre-existing comorbidities, and study design. Results: The pooled odds ratio (OR) for increased cardiovascular risk post-COVID-19 was 3.59 (95% CI: 3.58–3.61), indicating a significant rise in risk. Individuals with pre-existing comorbidities, especially DM and HTN, faced a higher risk of severe outcomes. DM alone increased mortality risk by 69%, and when combined with cardiovascular disease, the risk was even higher (OR = 6.98).]]>

<![CDATA[Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis therapy frequently experience complications. A prevalent issue among these patients is Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG). Preliminary studies indicate a high incidence of IDWG among CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis at RSUD Syamrabu Bangkalan. This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-care management and Interdialytic Weight Gain in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study employed an analytical correlation design with a cross-sectional approach. The independent variable was self-care management, while the dependent variable was IDWG. The study population consisted of 106 CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis at RSUD Syamrabu Bangkalan, with a sample size of 83 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a self-care management questionnaire and IDWG observation sheets. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of α= 0.05. The Spearman Rank test results for self-care management and IDWG yielded a r-value of 0.001 (α< 0.05) and a correlation coefficient (r) of (-0.369). There is a significant relationship between self-care management and Interdialytic Weight Gain. The correlation value indicates a weak (low) relationship between the two variables. Higher proficiency in self-care management enhances an individual's knowledge level and facilitates better control over weight gain or IDWG. Future researchers are encouraged to investigate other variables not yet explored, such as quality of life, knowledge levels, and family support, to further enrich data regarding interdialytic weight gain]]>

<![CDATA[Lower extremity edema is a common discomfort experienced by third-trimester pregnant women due to physiological changes during pregnancy. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of foot hydrotherapy with Epsom salt in reducing lower extremity edema among third-trimester pregnant women in Weru District, Cirebon Regency. This study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design involving 30 third-trimester pregnant women selected using purposive sampling. Respondents were divided into an intervention group receiving foot hydrotherapy with Epsom salt and a control group receiving warm water foot hydrotherapy only. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test. The results showed significant reductions in edema scores in the Epsom salt group (p = 0.001) and warm water group (p = 0.008). The Mann-Whitney U Test also demonstrated a significant difference between groups (p = 0.001), indicating that foot hydrotherapy with Epsom salt was more effective than warm water hydrotherapy alone in reducing lower extremity edema. Foot hydrotherapy with Epsom salt may be recommended as a simple, safe, affordable, and non-pharmacological complementary intervention for reducing edema among third-trimester pregnant women.]]>

<![CDATA[Digital media have become one of the main sources of reproductive health information among university students. However, not all information available online is accurate and evidence-based, making digital reproductive health literacy increasingly important. This study aimed to examine the relationship between digital reproductive health literacy and reproductive health behavior among female students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Bina Bangsa University. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach involving 95 first-year female students selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through online questionnaires using the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) and a reproductive health behavior questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The findings revealed that most respondents demonstrated high levels of digital reproductive health literacy (44.2%) and positive reproductive health behavior (42.1%). The Spearman Rank test showed a statistically significant relationship between digital reproductive health literacy and reproductive health behavior (p = 0.000) with a strong positive correlation coefficient (r = 0.740). Digital reproductive health literacy plays an important role in shaping reproductive health behavior among female university students. Strengthening digital-based reproductive health education is necessary to improve students’ ability to evaluate online health information critically and promote healthier reproductive health practices.]]>

<![CDATA[Pregnancy-related anxiety is a common psychological problem experienced by women during the third trimester of pregnancy. Anxiety before childbirth may affect maternal emotional well-being and pregnancy outcomes. Digital antenatal education has recently become a potential approach to support maternal mental health through accessible and flexible health information. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of MomEdu Care in reducing pregnancy-related anxiety among third-trimester pregnant women at Puskesmas Pulomerak. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 30 third-trimester pregnant women were recruited using purposive sampling. Anxiety levels were measured using the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised 2 (PRAQ-R2) before and after the intervention. Respondents used the MomEdu Care platform independently for two weeks. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed that the mean anxiety score decreased from 36.63 ± 1.97 before the intervention to 29.20 ± 1.67 after the intervention. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p-value = 0.000; p < 0.05). MomEdu Care was effective in reducing pregnancy-related anxiety among third-trimester pregnant women and may serve as an accessible digital antenatal education medium in primary healthcare settings.]]>

<![CDATA[Preeclampsia remains a major contributor to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality globally. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the association between selected maternal risk factors and the occurrence of preeclampsia. A case–control study was conducted involving 120 pregnant women (60 cases and 60 controls) recruited from antenatal care settings. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression to determine adjusted odds ratios (AOR). The results revealed that obesity (AOR=3.85; 95% CI: 1.72–8.61), chronic hypertension (AOR=4.92; 95% CI: 2.01–12.03), and history of preeclampsia (AOR=5.76; 95% CI: 2.14–15.47) were the most significant predictors. Other variables, such as maternal age, parity, and diabetes mellitus, showed associations in bivariate analysis but lost significance after adjustment. This study confirms that preeclampsia is strongly associated with pre-existing medical conditions and reproductive history. Early risk stratification during antenatal care is essential for prevention and improved maternal outcomes.]]>
