Abstract

Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints and bones in the form of damage and inflammation in the cartilage of the joints. Knee osteoarthritis can be intervened nonpharmacological with acupuncture or warm-water compresses. The WOMAC index was developed to assess pain in patients with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract

Introduction: Surgical wound infection (ILO) is a serious complication and can cause significant morbidity, including increasing the risk of readmission and prolonging recovery time.Objective: To review the effect of mobile apps to improve the quality of post-operative care by reducing the need for physical visits and increasing remote supervision.Methods: The literature search used 5 databases: Cinahl, Proquest, Pubmed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect in 2017-2024. The articles selected were original research RCT and cohort, English language, containing postoperative sectio caesarea, and using an application. The keywords used were: Telehealth OR Mobile Application OR application OR app AND Wound Monitoring OR wound care AND Cesarean Section OR Cesarean Section. In assessing research bias using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) obtained a score of 77-100%.Results: Surgical wound infection (SSI) is a serious complication that can increase morbidity and prolong recovery time after caesarean. Of the 196 articles that were found, seven met the inclusion criteria and were further analyzed. Results suggest that mobile apps can track wound conditions in real-time, reduce the need for physical visits, and increase patient engagement in the care process. These findings suggest that mobile apps can detect early signs of infection and educate patients, supporting faster and more effective recovery.Conclusions: The use of mobile apps can reduce financial burden, support home visit integration, reduce economic barriers and improve health outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Balancing dual roles as a professional and a student is a significant challenge, especially for women in the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) field. Resilience is crucial for managing these responsibilities while ensuring workplace safety.Objective: This study examines the lived experiences of women pursuing postgraduate education while working full-time in OHS, focusing on factors contributing to resilience.Method: A qualitative phenomenological approach was used to explore participants' experiences. Two postgraduate students from Universitas Gadjah Mada, aged 18–45 years and actively employed in OHS, were recruited through purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom, addressing challenges, coping strategies, and institutional support. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis, with validation techniques including member checking and triangulation.Results: Four themes emerged: social support, adaptive coping strategies, self-efficacy, and institutional flexibility. Emotional support from family, practical assistance from colleagues, effective time management, self-reflection, and accommodating workplace policies were key enablers of resilience. These factors collectively supported participants in balancing dual roles while maintaining workplace safety.Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of targeted support systems to enhance resilience among working students in demanding fields like OHS. Insights from this research provide a framework for institutions and policymakers to address challenges and promote safer, healthier workplaces.

This condition calls for a new understanding, particularly from the perspective of mothers with stunted children. Objective: This study aims to explore the mothers’ needs managing stunting under-two children in Surakarta City.Method: A qualitative was employed through focus group discussions (FGDs). A total of 20 informants aged 24–50 years were selected as participants. They resided in Surakarta City and were divided into two groups: the first group consisted of four nutritionists from health facilities and six health cadres, while the second group included ten mothers of stunted children. Data were analysed using Colaizzi’s method and managed with Nvivo software.Result: The study revealed five main themes related to mothers’ needs: (1) societal perceptions of stunting, (2) program availability, (3) barriers to program implementation, (4) expected prevention efforts, and (5) stunting management requirements. These findings indicate that mothers of stunted children require a deeper understanding of effective stunting management strategies and access to affordable nutritional resources to support their children’s physical growth and cognitive development.Conclusion: Social support from the community, easy access to information, and education on healthy eating patterns and stunting prevention are crucial aspects. Mothers with stunted children need adequate information on proper stunting management and access to affordable nutrition. Furthermore, community support and the availability of easily understandable information, including through audio-visual media, play a significant role in stunting prevention and management.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum blues is a common condition experienced by mothers after childbirth, and can progress to postpartum depression. Various interventions have been proposed to reduce these symptoms, but their effectiveness varies. Objectives: This review aims to explore the effectiveness of various interventions in reducing symptoms of postpartum blues and postpartum depression. Methods: This study followed a scoping review method based on PRISMA, with literature searches from major databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. Articles that met the inclusion criteria from 2020-2024 were analyzed using a descriptive approach. Results: Thirteen studies were identified. Non-pharmacological interventions, including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, app-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and auricular acupressure, demonstrated a significant reduction in postpartum depression symptoms. For instance, a study on auricular acupressure showed a very large effect in reducing postpartum blues symptoms by day 10 after delivery. Physical interventions and social support also showed significant psychological benefits for postpartum mothers. Conclusion: Non-pharmacological interventions, especially technology-based and mindfulness, are effective in reducing symptoms of postpartum blues and postpartum depression. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and clinical implementation of these interventions.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents with disabilities often face significant barriers in accessing reproductive health services, including physical, social, and informational challenges. Limited knowledge about reproductive health, combined with inadequate or inaccessible information sources, contributes to their vulnerability and underutilization of available services. Many of these adolescents are excluded from comprehensive health education, leading to misconceptions and lack of awareness about their rights and needs. The availability, accuracy, and accessibility of information play a critical role in shaping their understanding and decisions regarding reproductive health. Understanding the role of knowledge and information is essential to promote optimal use of these health services.Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlation between knowledge, information sources, and the utilization of reproductive health services.Method: This study is a quantitative research using a cross-sectional design. It was conducted at Sentra Terpadu Inten Soeweno, Cibinong. A total sampling technique was employed, resulting in 93 adolescent respondents with disabilities. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. The analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 27Result: The majority of respondents were female adolescents aged 16–19 years with hearing impairments. A significant correlation was found between knowledge and information sources and the utilization of reproductive health services among adolescents with disabilities (p < 0.05)Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of improving reproductive health education and ensuring accessible information to support informed decision-making and promote equitable health service utilization within this vulnerable population.
