Objective: To identify the relationship between physical activity and premenopausal symptoms in women aged 40-49 years in the work area of Pelayang Jambi village. Method: This study used a correlation analytic design with a cross-sectional approach model. The number of samples was 103 respondents with a stratified proportional random sampling method. Data collection used the IPAQ and MRS questionnaires, data analysis used the Spearman-rho test. Results: Showed that most respondents had moderate physical activity 51 (49.5%) and most respondents experienced premenopausal symptoms in the mild symptom category 40 (38.8%). There was a relationship between physical activity and premenopausal symptoms with a p value of 0.01 (p <0.05). Conclusion: The higher the physical activity, the more severe the premenopausal symptoms felt. Premenopausal symptoms in women can be reduced by physical activity in the form of a leisurely walk every day for 15 minutes or low-impact aerobic exercise three to five times per week

Abstract

Single parents are individuals who raise and care for their children independently without a partner in daily caregiving roles. This condition may affect toddler growth and development due to limited family support, parenting practices, and stimulation. However, research specifically examining the impact of single-parent status on toddler growth and development remains limited. This study aimed to describe the growth and development of toddlers raised by s. A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using snowball sampling, involving 38 respondents. Data were collected using a weighing scale, stature meter, infantometer, and the Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire (KPSP). Most s were mothers (81.6%), predominantly aged 36–45 years. The mean age of toddlers was 46.42 months, with a higher proportion of girls (57.9%). Based on weight-for-height, 60.5% of toddlers had normal nutritional status, while 23.7% were overweight and 10.5% obese. Height-for-age assessment showed 52.6% normal, 28.9% tall, and 18.4% stunted. Developmental assessment indicated questionable development in 47.4% of toddlers and developmental deviation in 7.9%. Single parents are encouraged to receive education on nutritional monitoring and adequate stimulation. Future studies should involve larger samples and use correlational methods to further examine this relationship.

Abstract

Anxiety is a common psychological problem experienced by breast cancer patients and can negatively impact quality of life and treatment adherence. Several studies have evaluated yoga as a complementary therapy to reduce anxiety in breast cancer patients, but these research results are still scattered and have not been systematically summarized. Therefore, this article aims to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga as complementary therapy in reducing anxiety levels in breast cancer patients. The method used is a systematic review with the PICO approach (Population: breast cancer patients; Intervention: yoga; Comparison: standard care or without yoga; Outcome: anxiety level). The literature search was conducted through four electronic databases: ScienceDirect, EBSCO Host, PubMed, and Springer. The article selection process followed the PRISMA guidelines. Of the total articles obtained during the initial search stage, 8 article met the inclusion criteria: articles in English, published between 2020-2025, using a Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) or Quasi-Experimental design, and involving adult patients with breast cancer. The review results indicate that yoga is effective in reducing anxiety levels, increasing relaxation, and improving the psychological well-being of breast cancer patients. Further research is recommended using experimental designs with large sample sizes to strengthen the evidence for yoga’s effectiveness in breast cancer patients.

Abstract

Patients' expectations of receiving the best service pose a challenge for healthcare providers, especially independent midwifery practices, to continuously improve service quality and care for outpatient patients. The quality of midwifery services is one of the indicators of service success. The provision of midwifery care is also based on the attitude of the 4S personal approach concept (greet, say hello, smile, be polite) to enhance the care for patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction will be fulfilled if the quality of service provided meets the expectations of outpatient patients in independent midwifery practices. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the application of the 4S personal approach concept and outpatient patient satisfaction. The non-parametric study design is of the Spearman’s rho analysis type, with bivariate analysis test results showing a P value of 0.001 < 0.005, thus Ha is accepted. The participants are outpatients at PMB, totaling 124 individuals from August to December 2025, with the instrument being a questionnaire consisting of 36 Likert scale questions. The results of the univariate analysis showed that the 4S personal approach concept was categorized as positive by 79 people (63.7%) and negative by 45 people (36.2%), with a total sample size of 124 patients. The domain of outpatient satisfaction was categorized as very satisfied by 58 people (46.7%), satisfied by 53 people (42.7%), dissatisfied by 11 people (8.8%), and very dissatisfied by 2 people (1.6%). The results of this study indicate a relationship between the application of the 4S personal approach concept and outpatient satisfaction at the Independent Midwife Practice. In conclusion, the 4S personal approach is an important factor in building comfort and trust in communication aspects, and the midwife's behavior plays a crucial role in shaping patients' positive perceptions of service satisfaction.
