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

The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) is increasingly common among university students, raising concerns about long-term metabolic risks. This study aimed to describe SSB consumption patterns among university students in Malang City. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted in July–August 2024 using an online questionnaire distributed through voluntary sampling. A total of 382 students participated. Data collected included demographics and SSB consumption habits; body weight and height were self-reported with instructions to refer to recent measurements. Results showed that 73.8% of students consumed SSB, most often during the day, with packaged tea being the most preferred type. Taste (45.3%) and affordability (38.7%) were the main purchase reasons, and minimarkets were the most common place of purchase. Overall, SSB intake among students was high, highlighting the need for educational interventions to promote healthier beverage choices.

Abstract

Performance is a measurable, both quantitative and qualitative, outcome for nurses who fulfill their responsibilities in providing patient care in accordance with their professional duties. This study aimed to determine the relationships among work experience, motivation, and workload and nurses' performance in the operating room at Urip Sumoharjo Hospital, Lampung Province, in 2024. The research used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted from March to April 2024. The population consisted of 37 nurses, all included as respondents through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaires completed by respondents and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test. The results showed that 28 nurses (75.7%) demonstrated good performance, supported by adequate work experience in 23 (62.2%), high motivation in 24 (64.9%), and a low workload in 27 (73.0%). Statistical analysis revealed significant relationships between experience (p=0.004), motivation (p=0.002), and workload (p=0.000) with nurse performance (p<0.05). The study concludes that work experience, motivation, and workload significantly influence nurses' performance in the surgical unit at Urip Sumoharjo Hospital. It is recommended that hospital management pay greater attention to enhancing nurse motivation and managing workloads to improve the quality of nursing services provided to patients.
