Abstract

Foot arch deformities are common in school-aged children and may interfere with posture and lower-limb biomechanics if left undetected. Preliminary observations at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah Gonilan indicated that several students showed signs of decreased medial longitudinal arch, suggesting the presence of foot arch abnormalities in the school environment. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of a mobile application compared to a conventional goniometer in measuring the Clarke angle. This quantitative research used a cross-sectional design with a population of 150 students aged 8–12 years. A total of 109 children were recruited using nonprobability purposive sampling, based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clarke angle measurements were taken using two instruments: the Quick Angle Physio mobile application and a standard goniometer. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation because the measurement data were not normally distributed. The results showed a strong and significant correlation between the mobile application and the goniometer measurements (r=0.964–0.989, p<0.001). These findings indicate that the mobile application provides accurate measurements comparable to the conventional method. The mobile application may serve as an efficient and practical alternative for Clarke angle assessment, supporting early detection of foot arch abnormalities among school-aged children, particularly in school settings such as Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah Gonilan.

Abstract

Nursing students are a productive population that often experiences sleep disturbances triggered by academic pressure, social demands, and emotional stress. When left unmanaged, sleep problems can impair concentration, academic achievement, and overall mental well-being. Pandan leaves contain various bioactive constituents, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, which may provide calming and sedative effects that support better sleep. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of pandan leaf decoction in improving sleep quality among nursing students. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used with 30 students from the Indonesian University of Education, selected via quota sampling. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Prior to the intervention, 83.3% of participants exhibited poor sleep quality with a mean PSQI score of 7.23. After consuming the pandan leaf decoction for 14 days, 73.3% of participants shifted into the good sleep category, yielding a reduced mean posttest score of 4.73. A paired sample t-test indicated a significant improvement in sleep quality (p=0.000; p<0.05). These findings show that pandan leaf decoction can help improve sleep quality among nursing students. As a safe and natural herbal option, it may be recommended as a complementary strategy to support holistic nursing care for managing sleep disturbances.

Abstract

Kidney failure is a condition in which the kidneys are unable to perform essential functions, including filtering waste products, regulating fluid and electrolyte balance, and producing hormones. This study aimed to analyze the effects of relaxation combined with Lavandula angustifolia aromatherapy on stress levels and sleep quality in patients with kidney failure. A quantitative experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group was employed, involving 30 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Stress levels were measured using the DASS-21, and sleep quality using the PSQI. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and the independent t-test, depending on the distribution of the data. Before the intervention, the mean stress score was 18.47±4.21 in the control group and 17.93±4.10 in the intervention group. After the intervention, the intervention group showed a significant stress reduction (mean 11.20±3.45) compared to the control group (17.40±3.98), as assessed by a Mann-Whitney U test (p=0.0046). Sleep quality also improved significantly, with pre-intervention PSQI scores of 12.33±2.14 (control) and 11.87±2.08 (intervention), and post-intervention scores of 8.20±1.96 (intervention) versus 12.07±2.11 (control), supported by a p=0.0004. The findings demonstrate that Lavandula angustifolia aromatherapy relaxation effectively reduces stress and improves sleep quality in patients with kidney failure. Lavender aromatherapy may serve as a safe, simple, and complementary non-pharmacological therapy to support clinical management in this population.

Abstract

Uterine leiomyoma is recognized as the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system and remains a significant cause of gynecological morbidity worldwide. Its development has been closely associated with hormonal exposure, particularly estrogen and progesterone, and with reproductive age. Despite being frequently encountered in clinical practice, the role of other contributing factors, such as hemoglobin status, remains less clear. This study examined the relationships among age, hemoglobin concentration, and the incidence of uterine leiomyoma. An observational-analytic case-control design, using leiomyoma as cases and adenomyosis as controls, was conducted at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Surakarta. A total of 246 participants were included, comprising 93 women with histopathologically confirmed leiomyoma and 153 women with adenomyosis as the control group. Data were obtained from hospital medical records, and statistical analyses were performed using Chi-square tests followed by logistic regression. The results demonstrated that being in the reproductive age group (≤50 years) significantly increased the likelihood of leiomyoma occurrence (OR=3.114, 95%CI: 1.141–8.500, p=0.021). In contrast, hemoglobin profiles did not show a significant association with leiomyoma incidence (OR=0.777, 95%CI: 0.428–1.441, p=0.407). Although anemia was frequently observed in both groups, it appeared more likely to be a clinical manifestation of abnormal uterine bleeding than a direct etiological factor.

Abstract

Gout arthritis is a form of joint inflammation caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals, leading to reduced joint flexibility, particularly in the knees. Non-pharmacological therapies such as the Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) technique provide a safe and effective alternative to enhance joint flexibility. However, the use of this therapy among patients with gout arthritis remains limited in primary healthcare settings. This study used a quasi-experimental design with 52 respondents divided into two groups: the intervention group (MWM) and the control group (Range of Motion exercises). Joint flexibility was measured before and after the intervention using a goniometer, and data were analyzed using statistical tests with a significance level of 0.05. The intervention group showed an increase in average joint flexibility from 123.85° to 140.19° (normal ≥140°), while the control group improved from 125.19° to 136.92°. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.034), indicating that MWM therapy was more effective in improving joint flexibility than Range of Motion (ROM) exercises. The Mulligan Mobilization with Movement technique significantly improved joint flexibility in patients with gout arthritis and is recommended as a non-invasive rehabilitation method suitable for use in primary healthcare services.

Abstract

The impact of airborne microbes on laboratory workers is substantial, as exposure to elevated bioaerosol concentrations can lead to respiratory illnesses, allergic sensitization, and an increased risk of laboratory-acquired infections. The air quality in microbiological laboratories is therefore a critical component of occupational health and safety. Previous studies have shown that microbial levels in educational laboratories frequently exceed international and national guidelines. Despite increasing recognition of the importance of indoor air quality, limited data are available on microbiological laboratory conditions outside Java, particularly in South Kalimantan. This study employed a descriptive, cross-sectional, observational design using the midget impinger method to collect air samples at two sampling points in each laboratory before and after ventilation activation, resulting in a total of 12 samples. Airborne bacterial counts were used to quantify microbial load, while temperature and relative humidity were simultaneously measured. Data were analyzed descriptively, and pre–post ventilation differences were assessed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. All microbial loads remained below the WHO (500CFU/m³) and Ministry of Health Republic Indonesia (700CFU/m³) thresholds. Three laboratories which relied solely on natural ventilation, exhibited the highest microbial counts, whereas laboratories with mechanical ventilation showed consistently lower levels. Although no significant differences were observed between pre-post ventilation conditions, naturally ventilated spaces tended to show higher microbial loads. Overall, airborne microbial levels and environmental parameters across the three laboratories remained within acceptable limits. However, higher humidity was associated with higher microbial concentrations, underscoring the importance of maintaining indoor environmental conditions within recommended ranges to ensure laboratory safety.

Abstract

Cultural pregnancy practices in prenatal care encompass prohibitions on specific behaviors and dietary restrictions that reflect community concerns during pregnancy. These practices may also contribute to prenatal depression. This study seeks to analyze factors related to transcultural nursing theory and cultural pregnancy in preventing prenatal depression among pregnant women in Jember Regency, Indonesia. A descriptive analytical cross-sectional design with a non-proportional stratified random sampling technique was employed, involving 420 participants. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on the eight dimensions of Transcultural Nursing and Cultural Pregnancy theory. The data were analyzed using Spearman's rho test. The results revealed significant correlations among pregnancy culture, social support, economic status, educational background, and cultural beliefs. Technological factors, particularly access to health information, were associated with healthier pregnancy behaviors. Religious and spiritual engagement contributed to stronger coping mechanisms and reduced emotional distress. Family kinship and social interaction played a determining role in identifying and reducing harmful cultural practices. In conclusion, multidimensional cultural, social, technological, and spiritual factors significantly influence prenatal mental health. Strengthening family support, enhancing access to accurate information, and addressing restrictive or harmful cultural practices are essential strategies for preventing prenatal depression among pregnant individuals.

Abstract

Cancer is a chronic disease that triggers significant psychological anxiety in patients who can negatively affect quality of life and adherence to treatment, making psychological management very important. This study aims to determine the effect of combining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the Wants, Doing, Evaluation, and Planning (WDEP) technique, and the butterfly hug on reducing anxiety among cancer patients. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test and a control group, ensuring comparison between participants who received the intervention and those who did not. 40 patients selected by accidental sampling. The intervention group received a combination therapy of ACT, WDEP, and butterfly hug, while the control group received deep breathing therapy. Anxiety was measured using the STAI-T instrument.  The mean anxiety score before receiving the combined ACT, WDEP, and butterfly hug therapy in the intervention group was 33.0, and after the intervention, it decreased to 27.85. The mean anxiety score before receiving deep breathing therapy in the control group was 31.30, and after the intervention, it decreased to 28.30. The independent samples T-Test showed a p-value≤0.0001. The combination of ACT, WDEP technique, and the butterfly hug proved effective in reducing anxiety levels among cancer patients at the halfway house in Bengkulu City. This combination therapy appears feasible, safe, and potentially effective as a brief psychological intervention for cancer patients. It should be considered as part of supportive care packages in oncology services with ongoing evaluation of its effectiveness and its long-term impact on patients' psychological well-being.
