Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of Brain Respiration on the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation (regulating emotions independently, without others present) in young adults experiencing romantic problems. Through Brain Respiration, a person can manage emotional functions, reduce stress, and stay comfortable even when interpersonal support is not always available. Thirty young adults participated in this study. Fifteen young adults in the experimental group received Brain Respiration, whereas the rest in the control group did not. The degree of interpersonal emotion regulation was measured using the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ). The results showed a decrease in the degree of interpersonal emotion regulation among young adults in the experimental group after receiving Brain Respiration. This can be seen in P(T<=t) two-tailed, which is 4.13985E-11 < alpha 0.05, and the average degree of interpersonal emotion regulation from 88.13 to 77.73. There was also no difference in the degree of Interpersonal Emotion Regulation in young adults in the control group without Brain Respiration (P(T<=t) two-tailed was 0.120590511 > alpha 0.05), and the average degree of Interpersonal Emotion Regulation in the pre- and post-tests was 85.6 and 85.8.

Abstract

Cardiac catheterization is performed to reduce mortality risk from vascular stenosis. Following the procedure, femoral sheath removal often resulted in mild to severe pain. This study aimed to describe nursing care through the application of an ice gel pack as a nonpharmacological method to reduce pain during femoral sheath removal in post–cardiac catheterization patients at RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. A case study design was applied, which included assessment, nursing diagnoses, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. The ice gel pack was applied over the sheath site for 20 minutes before sheath removal. Evaluation showed that pain intensity decreased from a scale of 5 to 3 after the intervention. The application of an ice gel pack effectively reduced pain and is recommended for inclusion in hospital standard procedures.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain a major global health concern and frequently present in primary care, yet epidemiological data on urinalysis markers—particularly leukocyturia and hematuria—are limited in community-based clinics. This gap reduces diagnostic accuracy because most existing evidence originates from hospital settings. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of leukocyturia among suspected UTI patients and to analyze its association with hematuria in a community outpatient clinic. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using medical records from the Ibnu Sina Clinic, Balikpapan, Indonesia, from January to June 2025. All patients meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparative tests in SPSS version 25. Among 87 eligible patients, most were elderly women, with high urine specific gravity and normal urinary pH. Leukocyturia was predominantly mild-to-moderate (6–20 leukocytes/HPF), and diabetes mellitus emerged as the most frequent comorbidity. A significant association was found between leukocyturia and hematuria (p < 0.05), indicating that increasing inflammatory burden corresponds with greater red blood cell presence in urine. In conclusion, leukocyturia prevalence was highest among elderly diabetic women in this community-based setting. Routine urinalysis remains essential for early infection detection where urine culture is not readily accessible. Future research should incorporate urine culture and antimicrobial resistance testing to enhance diagnostic precision.

Abstract

One of the common discomforts during the postpartum period is cracked nipples. If not properly managed, this condition may lead to mastitis. This study aimed to analyze the effect of topical application of aloe vera and breast milk on the healing of cracked nipples. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 34 postpartum mothers with cracked nipples at Birem Bayeun Community Health Center. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant effect of aloe vera and breast milk application on the healing of cracked nipples (p = 0.000). It can be concluded that the topical application of aloe vera and breast milk has a significant effect on the recovery of cracked nipples among postpartum mothers.

Abstract

Wasting is an acute form of malnutrition in children under five, marked by low weight-for-height (W/H < –2 SD). It increases the risk of infection, impaired immunity, growth delays, and mortality. In 2020, an estimated 45.4 million under-five children were wasted globally. In Indonesia, the prevalence in 2023 was 8.5%, with 7.3% in Lampung, 2.87% in Pringsewu, and 9.49% in Pekon Pamenang. One complementary approach to improve nutritional status is pijat kepiting (kepiting massage), a combination of acupressure and pediatric massage believed to enhance appetite, digestion, and immunity. This study assessed its effect on weight gain and illness frequency among wasted children under five. Methods: A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest design was applied to 20 wasted children divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received kepiting massage in addition to standard care. Results: Weight increased significantly in both groups but was greater in the intervention group (0.66 kg vs. 0.30 kg; p=0.002). Illness frequency decreased more sharply in the intervention group (1.5 to 0.3 episodes/month; p=0.010) than in the control group (2.5 to 1.9; p=0.014), with significant between-group differences (p=0.000). Conclusion: Kepiting massage effectively improves weight gain and reduces illness frequency among wasted children.

Abstract

Premenopause is a transitional phase marked by hormonal fluctuations that often trigger physical discomfort. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of aerobic exercise in reducing somatic symptoms among premenopausal women. A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design was conducted involving 58 women aged 40–55 years, selected through simple random sampling. The intervention group received aerobic exercise three times per week for eight weeks, while the control group received no intervention. Physical symptoms were assessed using the somatic domain of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Results showed a significantly greater reduction in somatic scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (mean difference −4.6 vs. −0.5; p < 0.001). Aerobic exercise demonstrated a large effect in alleviating hot flashes, joint and muscle pain, sleep disturbances, and cardiovascular-related complaints. In conclusion, aerobic exercise is an effective non-pharmacological strategy for reducing somatic symptoms during the premenopausal transition.

Abstract

Stunting is strongly associated with impaired immune function, as chronically malnourished children tend to have weaker immunity and are more vulnerable to infection. This study aimed to examine the effect of temulawak–black cumin herbal honey on the adaptive immune system in stunted children. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used. The findings showed that the intervention significantly increased height-for-age (TB/U) in the treatment group compared to the control group (p = 0.014). Weight-for-age (BB/U) also rose significantly within the treatment group (p = 0.013), but no significant difference was found relative to the control group (p = 0.192). The supplement significantly elevated IgM levels in the treatment group (p = 0.001), though again without a significant difference from the control (p = 0.546). CD4 concentration decreased in the treatment group (p = 0.003), but the change was not significantly different from the control (p = 0.682). In conclusion, temulawak–black cumin herbal honey can improve nutritional status and enhance adaptive immunity by increasing IgM levels, although it does not raise CD4 levels and instead slows CD4 decline. However, its effectiveness in increasing IgM and CD4 concentrations compared to controls is not significant.

Abstract

Adolescents are a group that is highly vulnerable to risky sexual behaviors. One of the factors influencing such behaviors is communication between parents and children. Good communication can serve as a protective factor against unhealthy sexual behavior. This study aims to analyze the influence of parent–child communication on risky sexual behavior among adolescents, as well as its differences based on gender. The study employed an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 120 male and female adolescents selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability. Analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation and Independent t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a significant negative correlation between parental communication and risky sexual behavior (r = –0.65; p < 0.001). The better the communication between parents and adolescents, the lower the level of risky sexual behavior. Gender differences were also observed, where female adolescents demonstrated higher communication scores and lower risky sexual behavior compared to males (p < 0.001). Effective communication between parents and children plays a crucial role in preventing risky sexual behaviors among adolescents. Strengthening family communication through reproductive health education programs involving active parental participation is essential.

Abstract

Introduction: Postpartum psychiatric disorders, particularly postpartum depression, are one of the most common psychological complications affecting maternal and neonatal well-being. These conditions are often underdiagnosed and undertreated, particularly in developing countries. Identifying risk factors is crucial for prevention and early detection. Objective: This systematic review aims to identify and analyze risk factors contributing to postpartum psychiatric disorders based on scientific evidence from 2015 to 2025. Methods: A literature search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science databases using the keywords “postpartum depression,” “psychiatric disorder,” and “risk factors.” Included articles were observational human studies, written in English or Indonesian, reporting risk factors and postpartum psychiatric outcomes. Of the 1,026 articles screened, nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Results: The most consistent risk factors found included a history of previous psychiatric disorders, low social support, perinatal stress, low economic status, obstetric complications, and postpartum immunological dysregulation. Eight of the nine studies showed a significant association (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Postpartum psychiatric disorders are multifactorial, influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. Preventive efforts should focus on antenatal screening, strengthening social support, and monitoring the mother's mental state after delivery.
