Abstract

The communication process between parents and children is essential, as children’s language and social development are influenced by communication patterns and interactions within the family. To prevent delays in language and social development, it is important to optimize communication between parents and children. This study sought to identify patterns of parental communication, language development, and personal-social development in preschoolers as well as the relationship between parental communication and the language and personal-social development of preschoolers at PAUD Bunga Pelangi, Polehan, Malang City. The research design used correlational analytics with a cross sectional approach conducted on a sample of 39 children and their mothers. The data collection tools used were in the form of a parental communication questionnaire with 20 statement items, and a Denver Development Screening Test (DDST) II sheet. The data was analyzed using the Spearman Rank Test. The results of the study showed that most children with positive parental communication had normal language and social personality development. With a p value of less than 0.05, the findings demonstrated a significant and fairly robust correlation between preschoolers' linguistic and social personality development and parental communication. Based on the results of the study, parents should optimize communication with children so that children's development, especially language and social personality development of preschoolers, can run optimally according to their age.

Abstract

Work fatigue is one of the occupational health and safety problems. This study was to evaluate the potential of active compounds from pomegranate plants (Punica granatum L.) as heart disease inhibitor agents through a Molecular docking approach. The method used involved 3D structural analysis of four active compounds – Quercetin, Caffeic acid, Ellagic acid, and Phenol – in this plant which were downloaded from PubChem and processed using Swiss Target Prediction, Super Prediction, PyMol, Pyrx software. The interaction between compounds and biological targets in this case Clopidogrel, was studied to determine binding energy, binding affinity and stability. The results showed the Ellagic acid and Quercetin had significant interaction with the lowest binding energy of -7.8 kcal/mol and -8.7 kcal/mol and the lowest RMSD value of 0 (Å) so that this can be said to have good interaction stability with the protein target. The 3D molecular structure of these two compounds also shows the presence of hydrogen bonds and effective interactions with amino acids as well as low toxicity and favorable affinity energy. Based on these results, Ellagic acid and Quercetin were identified as potential candidates in the development of drugs to treat heart disease (cardiovascular). This study is expected to review the potential of active compounds in pomegranates through the insilico method, which can support the development of natural alternatives, in accordance with herbal-based prevention efforts that are increasingly in demand by the community.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) affects approximately 9–12% of the global population at any given time. Most cases are nonspecific, occurring without a clear anatomical cause, and are typically managed with conservative approaches such as physiotherapy and light activity. This case involved a woman with LBP due to lumbar spondyloarthrosis and herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) accompanied by hypertension. Her history of elevated blood pressure and frequent heavy lifting were recognized as significant risk factors, potentially affecting organ perfusion. The management provided in this case was appropriate and comprehensive, combining pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy as supportive therapy to enhance functional recovery, and comorbidity management. This integrated approach demonstrated effective clinical outcomes in addressing both the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular aspects of the patient’s condition.

Abstract

Incomplete documentation of pediatric inpatient electronic medical records at Karya Medika Bantar Gebang Hospital affects the quality of medical recordkeeping. A preliminary study revealed completeness rates of 100% for identification, 70% for important reports, 65% for accurate documentation, and 85% for authentication. This study aimed to analyze the factors contributing to these deficiencies. A qualitative descriptive method was applied, involving one medical record officer, two pediatric ward supervisors, and one triangulation informant. The research covered 764 pediatric inpatient electronic medical records from January to June 2025, with a random sample of 88 records determined using the Slovin formula. The results identified five contributing factors: human (incomplete entries by physicians), machine (unstable internet connection), money (no training budget), method (absence of standard operating procedures), and material (lack of tools for completeness analysis). The highest incompleteness occurred in accurate documentation and important reports. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the need to implement a reward and punishment system, provide backup modems, allocate budgets for staff training, establish SOPs in accordance with regulations, and utilize checklists as an evaluation tool.

Abstract

Early diagnosis increases the chances of successful treatment and prevents the disease from worsening. However, not all women feel comfortable consulting a doctor about their condition. This study aims to develop a web-based expert system capable of diagnosing diseases of the female reproductive system with a user-friendly interface and high accuracy. This application enables women to evaluate the likelihood of potential diseases based on their symptoms and consult a doctor for appropriate treatment. This expert system combines the forward chaining and fuzzy Mamdani methods. Forward chaining identifies possible diseases based on selected symptoms, while fuzzy Mamdani confirms the diagnosis. The disease and symptom data used in this study were gathered through interviews with two obstetricians and gynecologists. The final results of this study show a comparative accuracy level of diagnostic results between the system and experts of 88%.

Abstract

The WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and continued breastfeeding until two years of age or beyond. However, many inhibiting factors remain, such as limited knowledge, lack of support from family and healthcare professionals, and psychological and social barriers that impact breastfeeding success. This study aims to analyze the need for breastfeeding support apps among mothers. This is a qualitative study with an exploratory descriptive approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 mothers who have breastfed and healthcare professionals, with questions related to mothers' personal experiences while breastfeeding, information sources used, information needs, needs for breastfeeding education apps, expectations and suggestions. The results of this study identified five themes: physical and emotional challenges in breastfeeding, the need for practical and specific information, trust in information sources, preferences for digital educational media, and expectations for educational apps. Through this study, it can be concluded that mothers need support from all parties, including healthcare professionals, with short video and visual educational media aligned to support breastfeeding practices.

Abstract

Vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and body temperature, are essential indicators of physiological responses to exercise. Environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity may alter these responses, yet limited evidence exists regarding their effect during indoor training in tropical climates. This study aimed to analyze differences in vital sign responses between individuals performing gymnastics-based strength training in air-conditioned (AC) and non-AC fitness centers in Medan Petisah District, Medan. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest two-group design was applied with 100 male participants aged 18–30 years who routinely engaged in gymnastics-based exercise. Participants were divided into two groups: training in AC gyms and training in non-AC gyms. Vital signs, namely heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and body temperature, were measured before and after a standardized 30-minute session. Data analysis used the Independent t-test with a significance threshold of p<0.05. The findings showed no statistically significant differences in heart rate (p=0.184), systolic blood pressure (p=0.263), diastolic blood pressure (p=0.714), respiratory rate (p=0.114), and body temperature (p=0.380) between the AC and non-AC groups. These results indicate that short-term strength training produces similar physiological responses regardless of the presence of air conditioning. Strength training in both AC and non-AC environments demonstrated comparable impacts on vital signs. Although environmental comfort may differ, acute physiological adaptation remained stable. Further studies should involve diverse participants, longer training durations, and additional physiological variables to deepen understanding.

Abstract

Lack of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle habits can lead to obesity. Insufficient physical activity may result in decreased energy expenditure in the body, creating an imbalance between energy intake and output during daily activities. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between physical activity and sedentary lifestyle with obesity among employees of BRI Malang Kawi Bank. This research employed an analytical observational design with a case-control approach. Samples were selected using purposive sampling, consisting of 15 obese and 15 non-obese respondents. Physical activity data were collected using the GPAQ questionnaire, while sedentary lifestyle was assessed using the WSQ questionnaire, both completed by the employees in December 2023. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used. Most respondents had sufficient physical activity, with 60% in the obese group and 80% in the non-obese group. Weekend sedentary time was 7.1 hours for obese and 8.9 hours for non-obese respondents. A significant positive correlation was found between physical activity and obesity (p = 0.037), whereas no significant relationship was observed between sedentary lifestyle and obesity (p = 0.952). Physical activity significantly influenced obesity incidence, while sedentary lifestyle had no effect among BRI Malang Kawi Bank employees.

Abstract

Preterm birth (PTB) remains a significant public health challenge in developing countries, contributing to high neonatal morbidity and mortality rates. This qualitative literature review aims to explore the maternal risk factors influencing the incidence of preterm birth in these regions. By examining existing studies, the review identifies key maternal characteristics such as age, nutritional status, socioeconomic factors, reproductive history, and healthcare access, which contribute to the risk of PTB. Additionally, the review highlights the role of environmental factors, including stress, pollution, and infections, in increasing preterm birth rates. The findings suggest that improving maternal healthcare, enhancing public awareness, and addressing socioeconomic disparities are essential in reducing the prevalence of preterm birth in developing countries. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing PTB and offers insights for developing targeted interventions aimed at reducing its incidence in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

The adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in Indonesia has been accelerated by national regulations; however, many hospitals continue to face significant challenges such as limited infrastructure, varying levels of digital literacy among healthcare workers, and resistance to shifting from paper-based systems. These issues highlight the urgency of evaluating user acceptance in specific hospital contexts. This study evaluates the acceptance of EMR implementation at Panti Waluyo Hospital Surakarta using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A descriptive qualitative design was applied through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews. Fifteen participants, including physicians, nurses, medical record officers, and administrative staff, were purposively selected to represent core EMR user groups. The findings indicated that 73% of respondents perceived EMR as useful in improving documentation efficiency and accuracy, while 67% agreed that the system was easy to navigate. Moreover, 80% expressed willingness to continue using EMR. Barriers identified included technical disruptions (40%) and the need for continuous training (53%). Overall, the results suggest that EMR adoption is positively accepted within the hospital, although organizational support and infrastructure improvements remain necessary. The study concludes that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use play significant roles in shaping user attitudes and behavioral intentions, which in turn influence actual system use. Strengthening user competence, addressing digital literacy gaps, and ensuring technical reliability are essential to sustain EMR implementation in healthcare settings.
