Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus, pose serious health challenges in coastal communities, which are often socioeconomically and geographically vulnerable. Limited access to healthcare and inadequate preventive health information further worsen these issues. This literature review aims to describe the health profile and associated risk factors of NCDs in coastal populations. A structured search was conducted through PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect using keywords including non-communicable diseases, hypertension, diabetes, coastal community, and risk factors. Inclusion criteria comprised peer-reviewed primary research (quantitative or qualitative), published in English or Indonesian between 2020 and 2025. Of 67 articles identified, 17 met the criteria and were analyzed descriptively. Hypertension emerged as the most frequently studied NCD, followed by diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Commonly reported risk factors included obesity, low physical activity, high sodium intake, smoking, stress, aging, and low socioeconomic status. Some studies also noted the influence of seafood consumption, sleep quality, and comorbid conditions. Among elderly populations, factors such as health insurance and access to health counseling influenced health-seeking behaviors. These findings highlight the urgent need for tailored, community-based strategies to prevent and control NCDs in coastal regions.

Abstract

Pressure ulcers are a complication that becomes more complex when experienced by patients with multimorbidity such as Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), and thrombocytopenia. These conditions can lead to prolonged healing, high risk of infection, systemic complications, and even death. Interventions must be accompanied by appropriate tools to evaluate wound healing optimally. The Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) is a tool for accurately, practically, and simply assessing the progression of pressure ulcers. However, its use for evaluating pressure ulcers remains limited. The objective to describe the use of PUSH in patients with pressure ulcers and multimorbidity. Method: This study used a case study design involving a 56-year-old patient with a grade III pressure ulcer on the buttocks measuring 121.5 cm2 with granulation tissue, minimal necrosis tissue, pus, and active bleeding. Wound progression was evaluated using PUSH over 4 days during wound care. The results that the PUSH score increased to 16 with a wound size of 150 cm2 moderate exudate, and extensive necrosis tissue. This indicates that the wound condition has not improved, prompting an evaluation of the wound care and factors hindering wound healing. Although PUSH aids clinical decision-making, it has limitations in assessing wound depth and systemic conditions as it only evaluates three parameters. The PUSH instrument is a simple and efficient tool for monitoring the healing of pressure ulcers and has the potential to indicate changes in wound condition as a result of an intervention, thereby aiding clinical decision-making. PUSH is recommended for routine use in clinical practice, while continuing to evaluate systemic conditions comprehensively and involving a multidisciplinary team.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem that can lead to serious complications. In patients with CKD and diabetes mellitus (DM), there is an increased risk of falls, dependence in daily activities, and stroke. Although these risks are often associated with the elderly population, the phenomenon of multimorbidity is now also increasing trends among individuals of working age. This study aims to describe changes in fall risk levels, dependency levels, and stroke risk knowledge among CKD patients with DM and glaucoma during hospital care. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, physical examinations, and medical record reviews. The sample used was a 43 year old woman. The study results showed a significant improvement in reduced fall risk (MFS: 35 to 25), decreased dependency level (CDS: 53 to 66), and increased stroke risk knowledge (SRQ: 28 to 40). This study indicates that comprehensive interventions such as hemodialysis, wound care, pharmacological therapy, and education effectively improve functionality and understanding in productive aged patients with complex multimorbidity.

Abstract

Paralytic ileus is a disorder that results in a halt of intestinal flow, causing fluid and gas accumulation. Although paralytic ileus is commonly associated with postoperative conditions, it may also influenced by electrolyte imbalances from long-term antacid use and age-related factors that increase mortality risk. If inadequately unmanaged, the condition can result in significant pain, increased risk of complications, and greater care dependency. The purpose to describe a case of paralytic ileus in an elderly patient with long-term antacid use and evaluate changes in pain intensity and care dependency during treatments. This case report involved a 74-year-old male patient with paralytic ileus and a primary nursing diagnosis of acute pain. Pain intensity and care dependency were assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale and Care Dependency Scale during a four-day hospitalization period. The patient showed clinical improvement, include the return of flatus and defecation, normalization of electrolyte levels, reduced pain intensity (NRS 6 to 3), and increased independence (CDS 46 to 62). Discussion: Nursing care included electrolyte correction and pain management through pharmacological therapy and guided imagery, which contribute to decreased pain an improved care dependency, particularly in continence-related aspects. Recall bias related medication history was identified as a limitation. This case underscores the importance of early recognition of electrolyte imbalance and comprehensive nursing assessment in patients with paralytic ileus. Holistic nursing care supported by multidisciplinary collaboration and non-pharmacological intervention played a critical role in enhancing patient outcomes and promoting functional independence during hospitalization.

Abstract

Clinical learning environments are fundamental to nursing education, and their quality must be systematically evaluated. The Quality Clinical Placement Evaluation (QCPE) instrument is widely used to assess clinical placements; however, an Indonesian version has not been previously available. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and assess the content validity of the QCPE instrument in the Indonesian context. A methodological study was conducted using a structured translation process comprising forward translation, synthesis, backward translation, and developer review to ensure conceptual equivalence. Content validity was evaluated by three Nursing Professional Practice experts who assessed each item for relevance, clarity, and essentiality. Quantitative analysis was performed using the Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI), Scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI/UA and S-CVI/Ave), and Content Validity Ratio (CVR). The Indonesian QCPE demonstrated good content validity. Most items achieved an I-CVI of 1.00, indicating high relevance. S-CVI/ UA values ranged from 0.82 to 0.95, and S-CVI/Ave values ranged from 0.94 to 0.98, reflecting strong overall agreement among experts. CVR values ranged from 0.33 to 1.00. One item from each questionnaire was removed due to limited relevance to the Indonesian nursing education context, resulting in a final version with 20 items for the Professional Student Questionnaire and 16 items for the Supervisory Nurse Questionnaire. The Indonesian version of the QCPE instrument demonstrates strong content validity and is suitable for evaluating clinical learning environments. Further studies are recommended to establish construct validity and reliability prior to widespread use.Keywords: Content Validity, Clinical Learning Environment, Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Nursing Education

Abstract

Early marriage remains a serious issue that negatively impacts the reproductive health, education, economy, and psychology of adolescents. Ironically, social media often romanticizes this practice, thereby potentially reinforcing misperceptions and reducing reproductive health literacy. The lack of empirical research on the role of social media in shaping adolescents' knowledge about early marriage has created a gap in the literature that needs to be addressed. Lo988 A two-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental research design with a sample of 336 adolescents (168 intervention, 168 control) from SMAN 5 and SMAN 7 Cirebon, selected through simple random sampling. The intervention consisted of health education through animated videos and discussions via WhatsApp. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test with SPSS. The results showed that the intervention group experienced a significant increase in knowledge after education (p < 0.05), with the majority of respondents before the intervention, 88 people (52.38%), in the “poor” category. after the intervention, 89 respondents (52.98%) were categorized as “adequate” and 74 respondents (44.05%) were categorized as “good.” The control group showed only minimal changes. Therefore, future researchers are advised to develop interventions based on teenage influencers to expand the reach and sustainability of promotion.
