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.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Woolwich Massage and lavender aromatherapy as complementary care to support postpartum lactation, and to explore mothers’ physiological and psychological responses to the intervention. The research design used a qualitative descriptive case study of two postpartum mothers in the working area of UPTD Dukupuntang Health Center, Cirebon Regency. The intervention was given for five consecutive days, twice daily, with a 15-minute session. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and physical examinations. The study found increased breast milk production, increased breastfeeding frequency, and improved indicators of breastfeeding adequacy in both clients. In addition to physiological changes, this intervention also improves psychological well-being, characterized by decreased anxiety, increased relaxation, and greater maternal confidence in breastfeeding. The difference in response between clients was influenced by the initial psychological state, previous breastfeeding experience, and readiness to receive intervention. These findings suggest that Woolwich Massage and lavender aromatherapy can be used as non-pharmacological complementary care to support postpartum lactation and may be integrated into maternity nursing practice as a holistic, relaxation-based approach.

Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a global public health issue, including among pregnant women who are at risk of transmitting the infection to their fetuses. Knowledge is one of the factors influencing pregnant women’s behavior regarding early detection as a preventive measure against mother-to-child HIV transmission. The purpose of this study is to identify the level of knowledge among pregnant women regarding HIV transmission and prevention. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design. The sample was selected using total sampling from 100 pregnant women. The research instrument was the HIV Knowledge Questionnaire-18 (HIV-KQ-18) in the Indonesian language. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis. The results of the study indicate that the majority of pregnant women (52%) have insufficient knowledge regarding HIV transmission and prevention; this was particularly common among respondents aged 20–35 years, those who were unemployed, had a secondary education, were in their second trimester of pregnancy, had given birth to one child, and had received information related to HIV. These findings highlight the need for strengthened structured HIV education within antenatal care services. Further research is recommended to analyze the determinants influencing knowledge levels and to explore the relationship between knowledge and VCT behavior among pregnant women.

Abstract

Abstract The digitalization of the Early Warning System (EWS) has been developed to support the early detection of patient deterioration through faster, more accurate, and integrated clinical documentation and monitoring. However, evidence regarding its influence on healthcare workers' compliance with patient monitoring remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effect of digitalizing the Early Warning System (EWS) and Maternity Early Warning System (MEWS) on healthcare workers' compliance in monitoring patient conditions. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 39 healthcare workers selected using total sampling. The intervention consisted of implementing the Alamanda Warning System, while compliance was measured using a modified Morisky Medication Adherence Scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. The mean compliance score was 62.5 ± 27.5 before the intervention and 60.5 ± 23.9 after implementation. The analysis revealed no statistically significant difference in compliance scores before and after implementation of the digital system (Z = −0.688; p = 0.491). The digitalization of EWS and MEWS did not significantly improve healthcare workers' compliance. Continuous training, regular supervision, periodic evaluation, and organizational support are needed to optimize the integration of digital systems into routine clinical practice. Keywords: Early Warning System; compliance; digitalization; healthcare workers; patient monitoring.

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy are common conditions that may affect maternal comfort, nutritional intake, and quality of life. Nonpharmacological approaches are increasingly recommended as safe complementary therapies for managing these symptoms. Most previous studies have focused on single interventions, such as deep-breathing relaxation or aromatherapy, with limited evidence on their combined or synergistic effects. This study aimed to describe the implementation of a combination of deep-breathing relaxation and lemon aromatherapy for the management of nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy. A descriptive case study design was applied, involving two pregnant women in the first trimester with emesis gravidarum. The intervention among pregnant woman consisted of deep-breathing relaxation combined with the inhalation of lemon aromatherapy, administered once daily in the morning for five consecutive days with a duration of 15 minutes. Outcomes were evaluated using the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE-24) instrument, supported by clinical observation and participants’ subjective reports. The results demonstrated a reduction in the intensity of nausea and vomiting in both participants, as indicated by a decrease in PUQE-24 scores from moderate to mild categories, accompanied by improved comfort and appetite. Participants also reported increased relaxation and reduced nausea frequency following the intervention. These findings suggest that the combination of deep breathing relaxation and lemon aromatherapy has potential as an effective and applicable complementary nonpharmacological strategy in maternal nursing care during early pregnancy. Further studies with larger samples and more rigorous designs are needed to confirm these findings, including collaboration with nutritionists to optimize dietary management.

Abstract

Reproductive health education tailored to specific needs is crucial for promoting healthy behaviors among adolescents and preventing unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and early marriage. This study aims to analyze differences in knowledge and self-efficacy among adolescents before and after using the SEHATI KESPRO app at SMAN 1 Langkaplancar. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A sample of 38 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. The research instrument consisted of an adapted questionnaire covering the variables of knowledge and self-efficacy, which had been validated for both validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The test results showed no statistically significant differences in the levels of knowledge (p = 0.114) or self-efficacy (p = 0.272) among adolescents after the intervention. In conclusion, there were no significant differences in knowledge and self-efficacy among adolescents following the use of the SEHATI KESPRO app. Therefore, it is recommended that schools integrate this app with a sustained interactive approach. For future researchers, it is highly recommended to conduct stricter monitoring regarding respondents’ compliance with app access during the intervention period.
