Abstract

Background: Blood pressure changes during hemodialysis are a common complication and can profoundly impact patient safety and quality of life. Various factors such as individual characteristics, technical aspects of the dialysis procedure, and psychological conditions are suspected to contribute to these blood pressure variability. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between age, dialysis vintage, interdialytic weight gain (IDWG), blood flow rate (BFR), and stress levels with blood pressure variability in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. Fifty hemodialysis patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected as respondents. Data were collected through clinical dialysis observation sheets, pre-post dialysis blood pressure measurements, and stress level questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Results: The results showed that 54% of patients experienced changes in blood pressure after hemodialysis. There was a significant relationship between age (p = 0.008), IDWG (p = 0.003), BFR (p = 0.027), and stress levels (p = 0.002) with changes in blood pressure. Meanwhile, the dialysis vintage did not show a significant relationship (p = 0.569). Conclusion: Variability in blood pressure during hemodialysis are influenced by physiological, technical, and psychological factors. Managing hemodialysis patients requires a holistic and individual approach, including IDWG management, BFR adjustment, and stress management. Further research is recommended with a longitudinal design and a larger sample coverage.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: School snacks are an important source of energy and nutrients for children, but they may pose biological and chemical safety risk if not properly controlled. This study aimed to identify the presence of Escherichia coli, salmonella and hazardous food additives, including borax, formalin, rhodamine B and methanil yellow in school snacks sold around SDN 005 Dr.Sutomo Samarinda Ulu.Design/Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted with sampling from in three school canteens and two street vendors. A total of 12 food and beverage samples were examined at Samarinda City Regional Health Laboratory. Microbiological tests were performed using the multiple-tube fermentation method, while chemical testing were conducted using qualitative methods. Results : Laboratory analysis showed that all samples tested negative for E.coli and Salmonella. Furthermore, chemical analysis confirmed the absence of borax, formalin, rhodamine B, or methanil yellow in all samples. These findings suggest that the school snacks tested from both microbiological contamination and prohibited chemical additives.Conclusion : School snacks sold around the SDN 005 Dr.Sutomo Samarinda Ulu are relatively safe for children’s consumption. The findings also reflect the effectiveness of school and health center supervision in ensuring food safety. However, continuous monitoring and education remain essential to sustain safe food practice among students and vendors.

Abstract

Stunting is a disorder of children's growth and development caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections during the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). Health workers at health centers, as part of the nutrition team, play a significant role in implementing effective interventions to reduce stunting rates. One of the trainings provided to health workers is the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) and Severe Acute Malnutrition training. This study aimed to measure changes in the knowledge of health workers before and after receiving the IMCI and Severe Acute Malnutrition training.This pre-experimental study involved 84 health workers from three cities in East Kalimantan. The training utilized interactive lectures, role play,  assignments, and practice sessions. A paired t-test was used to analyze the data. A significant increase in knowledge was observed before and after the training (p-value = 0.0001). It was concluded that the IMCI and Severe Acute Malnutrition Training was effective in enhancing the knowledge of health workers. Therefore, it remains essential as a routine training effort to prevent stunting.

Abstract

An increase in fat mass and a decrease in muscle mass are common physiological changes in the elderly. The loss of muscle mass increases the risk of sarcopenia, which negatively affects physical function. Therefore, accurate assessment of nutritional status in the elderly is crucial. Body Mass Index (BMI) is commonly used but cannot distinguish between fat mass and muscle mass. Calf circumference serves as a simple and practical anthropometric alternative to estimate muscle mass. This study aims to determine the correlation between BMI and calf circumference in assessing the nutritional status of elderly individuals aged ≥46 years. This research employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted at three locations during the 2024–2025 period. A total of 75 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. Data were obtained through measurements of height, weight, and calf circumference. The analysis showed a significant correlation between BMI and calf circumference (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Calf circumference can serve as an important additional indicator in assessing the nutritional status of the elderly. The combination of BMI and calf circumference provides more comprehensive information for evaluating the nutritional status in the elderly population.

Abstract

The 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) data shows a depression prevalence of 1.4% nationally, with the highest rate in the 15-24 age group. However, many are still reluctant to seek professional help due to stigma. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the mental health of students at STIKes Arjuna.The research is a quantitative study with a descriptive correlational survey method to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence, psychological, and social factors with the mental health conditions of students (depression, anxiety, and stress). Based on 158 student sample from STIKes Arjuna using a structured questionnaire. The variables studied included emotional intelligence factors, psychological factors, social factors, and mental health.The results showed no significant relationship between emotional intelligence and mental health (depression, anxiety, and stress), with a sig p=0.799, sig p=0.253, and sig p=0.065, respectively. Psychological factors have a significant influence on mental health,namely depression and stress, with a sig p-value= 0.025 and sig p=0.02. Psychological factors did not have a significant effect on mental health, namely anxiety, as evidenced by a p-value of 0.021. In the social factors, the research results show that is has an influence significant to mental health, namely depression, anxiety, and stress,as indicated by the values sig-p= 0.011, sig- p=0.010, and sig-p=0.000.It is hoped that mental health education and related facilities will be integrated into the curriculum, and students will be open and honest about their conditions and be aware of seeking health services. Further research is suggested to explore other factors influencing mental health and mediating factors between variables

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem commonly found in children aged 6–24 months due to prolonged inadequate nutrient intakeAnother factor contributing to stunting is suboptimal feeding practices. This study measures the quality of feeding (feeding rules) through three key aspects: consistency of meal schedules, responsive feeding techniques, and mealtime environment arrangement. The assessment in this study uses a questionnaire based on Chatoor's scale of 1-9, where a score of 7-9 indicates good practices, 4-6 falls into the moderate category, and 0-3 signifies low quality. This study aimed to determine the relationship between feeding rules and stunting among children aged 6–24 months at Grogol Petamburan Health Center, West Jakarta. Using a cross-sectional design and quantitative approach, the study involved 133 mothers and their children, selected through total sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. Results showed that 21.8% of children were stunted. The proportion of stunting was higher among mothers with poor feeding rule practices (36.4%) compared to those with moderate–good practices (17.0%). A significant relationship was found between feeding rules and stunting (p = 0.019; OR = 2.79; 95% CI = 1.157–6.730). It can be concluded that proper feeding rule implementation plays a key role in preventing stunting.
