Abstract

Hemodialysis is a renal replacement therapy highly dependent on the availability of medical-grade water, stable electricity, and supporting technological systems. This dependency makes hemodialysis services vulnerable to disruption during disasters, particularly in earthquake- and flood-prone areas. Treatment interruption may increase the risk of serious complications and threaten patient safety. In this context, families play an essential role in maintaining therapy continuity; however, their perspectives in disaster mitigation remain underexplored. This study aimed to explore family expectations regarding the resilience of hemodialysis services in disaster situations. A qualitative exploratory approach with thematic analysis was employed. Primary informants consisted of two family members of hemodialysis patients, supported by source triangulation through interviews with one manager, one nurse, and two patients. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings identified four main themes: (1) expectations for clear and structured hospital preparedness systems, (2) the need for technical education and risk communication, (3) clarity of emergency referral systems and alternative service networks, and (4) comprehensive protection of patient safety. The results indicate that families expect a structured mitigation system that is well-communicated and actively involves them in pre-disaster simulations and education. This study highlights that the resilience of hemodialysis services in disaster situations depends not only on infrastructure and hospital management but also on empowering families as integral components of the healthcare resilience system. Integrating families into preparedness planning may strengthen therapy continuity and enhance patients’ sense of security during crises.

Abstract

Labor pain remains a distressing experience that can negatively affect both mothers and babies. According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health (2019), around 15% of mothers in Indonesia experience labor complications accompanied by pain, while 22% report severe pain during childbirth. Excessive labor pain may lead to frustration, anxiety, and emotional distress. One non-pharmacological method considered safe, simple, and comfortable for pain management is the use of a birthing ball. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the birthing ball method in reducing labor pain intensity. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design without a control group. A total of 45 maternity mothers who met the inclusion criteria at the Kemayoran Health Center participated in the study and received a 30-minute birthing ball intervention. Labor pain intensity was measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). The statistical analysis showed a significant reduction in labor pain intensity after the intervention, with a p-value of <0.001 and a Z-score of -5.798b. These findings indicate that the birthing ball method is effective in reducing labor pain intensity. Therefore, healthcare workers are encouraged to optimize the use of birthing balls as a non-pharmacological pain management method during labor. Proper technique, along with responsive and empathetic support during childbirth, is important to maximize the benefits of this intervention.

Abstract

Fetal movement is a critical indicator of fetal well-being, yet practical devices integrated with digital interventions for direct, objective monitoring remain limited. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the functionality and safety compliance of the Smart Mom–Integrated Prototype for real-time fetal movement monitoring. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the prototype was developed using an accelerometer sensor, an ATmega328P microcontroller, an OLED display, and Bluetooth connectivity integrated with an Android application. The device underwent a rigorous four-stage evaluation: (1) simulated testing for initial movement detection accuracy; (2) laboratory functional testing for overall system performance; (3) safety testing based on the SNI IEC 60601-1 standard; and (4) limited clinical/user testing involving five third-trimester pregnant women (32–38 weeks gestation) monitored for 15–30 minutes.In simulated testing, the device achieved an initial fetal movement detection accuracy rate of 85%. Laboratory functional testing demonstrated a 93% system operation success rate with clear data visualization and stable Bluetooth transmission. Safety testing indicated that the device's surface temperature reached 35.2°C after eight hours of continuous use, with 0.0 mA leakage current and no reported skin irritation. In limited clinical testing, the device successfully recorded a mean of 20.6 movements per 30 minutes. Concurrently, maternal stress scores (PSS-10) decreased significantly post-intervention ($22.40 \pm 3.13$ to $15.80 \pm 2.28$; $p = 0.005$). Data sensitivity in the field was moderately influenced by maternal Body Mass Index (BMI) and biological motion artifacts. The Smart Mom–Integrated Prototype demonstrates functional feasibility and safety compliance for home-based screening. Future development should focus on refining signal processing algorithms to mitigate maternal biological artifacts alongside validation trials against clinical gold standards.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are non-communicable diseases (NCDs), caused by elevation of total cholesterol and blood glucose levels. Both indicators can be influenced by physical activity, determined by the type of work people do. Construction workers’ jobs involve a lot of physical activity with moderate to heavy intensity. This study aims to determine the correlation between total cholesterol and blood glucose levels with physical activity among construction workers. Employing an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, the research involved 32 construction workers from Jatiwarna without a history of CHD and DM, who fasted before undergoing total cholesterol and blood glucose tests. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was utilized to measure physical activity. The collected data were analyzed statistically and revealed that construction workers most frequently engage in heavy physical activity, with 25 individuals (78.1%) participating. The total cholesterol level ranged from 98.3 to 269.62 mg/dL, with mostly normal levels, but 10 participants (31.3%) had high total cholesterol levels. In terms of fasting glucose levels, the value ranged from 45.17 to 114.24 mg/dL, mostly normal except for 15 participants (53.1%) with abnormal levels. Spearman's correlation test showed a correlation between physical activity and total cholesterol levels (p-value of 0.003), as well as a correlation between physical activity and fasting glucose levels (p-value of 0.001). In conclusion, physical activity affects total cholesterol and blood glucose levels, which require balanced consideration alongside nutritious intake to maintain optimal metabolism.
