Abstract

The high rate of occupational accidents indicates that the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) in the construction sector still needs to be strengthened, including at the PT. Paramitha Bangun Sarana (Soci Mas) project, where worker compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and standard operating procedures (SOPs) remains low. This study aims to describe the implementation of safety protocols and the achievement of the zero-accident program at the project site. A descriptive quantitative method was applied using a total sampling of 50 field workers. Data were collected through questionnaires and observations. Frequency distribution results show that most respondents were aged 18–33 years (82%), male (94%), and high-school graduates (82%). The level of OSH protocol perception was very good, with 94% of respondents agreeing and 6% strongly agreeing on the optimization of safety protocols. Zero-accident achievement was also high, indicated by 94% agreeing and 4% strongly agreeing with the program's application. These findings confirm that consistent application of OSH protocols, strong management support, and a solid safety culture can create a safe work environment, support the realization of zero-accident targets, and contribute to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 on decent work and economic growth.

Abstract

Adolescents were vulnerable to mental health challenges as they faced new environments and experiences. To support them, the Student and Alumni Development Institute at Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta provided counseling services through peer counselors. However, these peer counselors experienced low motivation and limited confidence due to the absence of structured training. This study aimed to examine the effect of peer counseling training on the self-motivation of peer counselors. A quantitative study with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 31 peer counselors selected through total sampling. The intervention consisted of structured peer counseling training sessions. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results showed a significant increase in self-motivation scores after training compared to before (p = 0.043). These findings indicated that peer counseling training effectively improved the self-motivation of peer counselors. Strengthening training programs may enhance the quality of counseling services provided to adolescents through peer-based interventions.

Abstract

Universal Health Coverage Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is a key principle of an equitable health system, ensuring access to healthcare services without financial burden. Indonesia, with its National Health Insurance (JKN), and Malaysia, with its tax-based public healthcare system, have different approaches to implementation. This study compares the implementation of UHC in Indonesia and Malaysia, including the financing system, resource distribution, service coverage, and service quality. The study used a literature review with the PRISMA approach. From the total number of articles found in various databases, titles, abstracts, and inclusion-exclusion criteria were screened, leaving 15 relevant articles for analysis. Indonesia, through JKN, has covered a large portion of the population, but faces disparities in access, unequal distribution of healthcare workers, and high out-of-pocket costs for specialist services. Malaysia has near-universal coverage with subsidized public services and financial protection for poor households, although there is inequality between the public and private sectors. Indonesia needs to improve infrastructure, equitable distribution of healthcare workers, public education regarding active participation, and strengthened program management. Malaysia is advised to strengthen the integration of the public and private sectors and maintain progressive financing to reduce financial risks for poor households.

Abstract

Schoutenia ovata Korth. has a shrub or tree habit and is able to grow up to a height of 25 meters. Humans often use this plant as medicine, one of which is found on the stems. However, no one has researched the good phytochemical content of this plant stem. This is evident in the PubChem data, which indicates that there is no phytochemical profile available for this plant. Therefore, this study aims to determine the phytochemical content and pharmacological activity of Schoutenia ovata Korth. stems. The sample in this study is a stem taken from the hills of Tulungagung, East Java, Indonesia. The sample is then dried and made into a coarse powder. The content of chemical elements is analyzed using an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Furthermore, phytochemical tests are conducted to identify the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, tannins, saponins, and phenols using the LC-MS/MS QTOF method. Pharmacological activities are investigated through a literature study. The Schoutenia ovata Korth. stems contain chemical elements O (48.6%), C (47%), K (2.9%), Ca (0.6%), Al (0.2%), Si (0.2%), P (0.2%), Cl (0.2%), Mg (0.1%). The results of phytochemical tests show that the stem contains alkaloids, flavonoids, and steroids. Based on the content of phytochemical compounds, the stems of Schoutenia ovata Korth. exhibits pharmacological activities, including antidiabetic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anticancer, and wound-healing properties.

Abstract

Fracture surgery is a significant stressor that may trigger anxiety, not only in patients but also in family members waiting during the procedure. Effective anxiety management can be supported through non-pharmacological interventions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect that zikr spiritual treatment has on the anxiety levels of the families of patients who are undergoing surgery to repair a fractured femur. A quasi-experimental strategy, specifically a group pre-test and post-test design that contrasts the intervention group with the control group, is used in this quantitative study design. There were a total of forty-two participants in this study. Of these forty-two participants, twenty-one were assigned to the intervention group, while the other twenty-one were assigned to the control group. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Y (STAI-Y) scale was utilized to assess the degree of anxiety in the intervention and control groups both before to and during the intervention. In the intervention group, zikr therapy was administered for a duration of 10 minutes. The Wilcoxon test results indicated a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) in the intervention group and a p-value of 0.083 (p > 0.05) in the control group. The Mann-Whitney test produced a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), which provided evidence that zikr treatment had a substantial impact on the intervention group and that there was a significant difference in anxiety levels between the control group and the intervention group. Zikr therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety. These findings indicate that zikr therapy may serve as a valuable non-pharmacological approach to managing anxiety. Further studies are recommended to explore its long-term effects and broader applicability in different clinical contexts.

Abstract

Neonatal tetanus remains a significant cause of infant mortality, particularly in developing countries, despite being preventable through Tetanus Toxoid (TT) immunization during pregnancy. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the utilization of TT immunization among pregnant women at Terjun Public Health Center, Marelan District. Using a cross-sectional quantitative approach, data were collected from 46 third-trimester pregnant women through questionnaires. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using chi-square tests and logistic regression. The results showed that knowledge (p=0.002) and attitude (p=0.001) were significantly associated with TT immunization uptake, while age (p=0.536) and spousal support (p=0.603) were not. Multivariate analysis revealed that attitude was the dominant factor influencing immunization utilization (OR=4.7; p=0.045). Although knowledge had a higher odds ratio (OR=5.59), it did not reach statistical significance (p=0.056). The model explained 38.9% of the variation in immunization status (Nagelkerke R² = 0.389). These findings underscore the importance of promoting positive maternal attitudes and improving knowledge through targeted health education to enhance immunization coverage and prevent neonatal tetanus

Abstract

Anxiety is a prevalent psychological issue among university students, particularly nursing students who face intense academic and clinical demands. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2024), the global prevalence of anxiety disorders increased by 26% after the COVID-19 pandemic, while national data from Indonesia (Riskesdas, 2019; 2021) reported emotional mental disorders affecting 9.8% of the productive-age population. Unmanaged anxiety can impair concentration, reduce academic performance, and negatively affect mental health. One promising non-pharmacological approach is health education through peer counseling, which utilizes emotional support among students at similar academic levels. This study aimed to analyze the effect of peer counseling-based health education on nursing students’ anxiety levels. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was applied, involving 50 sixth-semester nursing students from the Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T) to assess anxiety levels. Statistical analysis was performed using the Paired Sample t-test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed significant improvements in students’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors after the peer counseling intervention (p < 0.05). The mean anxiety score decreased from 50.98 to 46.60 (p < 0.05), indicating a substantial reduction in anxiety levels. These findings confirm that peer counseling-based health education effectively enhances student understanding and alleviates anxiety. The study recommends implementing peer counseling as a promotive and preventive strategy to support mental health among nursing students, especially during high-pressure academic periods.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 1% colloidal oatmeal with 100% petrolatum in improving the skin barrier in patients with psoriasis vulgaris. This research method is a randomized, single-blind, pre and posttest design controlled trial involving patients with mild/moderate/severe psoriasis vulgaris at DR. Kariadi Hospital Semarang, Indonesia. The subjects of the study were divided into 2 groups, namely 1% colloidal oatmeal and 100% petrolatum. Evaluation was carried out by comparing the TEWL values between day 0 and day 28. The analysis was carried out using independent T-tests, Mann Whitney, and Wilcoxon. The results were significant if p<0.05 Results Topical administration of 1% colloidal oatmeal or 100% petrolatum could lower the TEWL value in each study group (p<0.001; p=0.006 respectively). ΔTEWL evaluation showed a significantly greater decrease in TEWL in the 1% colloidal oatmeal group (p=0.003). No complaints during use were reported in the 1% colloidal oatmeal group. Conclusion: Topical application of 1% colloidal oatmeal is more effective than 100% petrolatum as a moisturizer in improving the skin barrier in patients with psoriasis vulgaris without complaints.
