Abstract

Introduction: Learning in the community presents different challenges than learning in a clinical setting. However, studies on student nurses' experience in the community have not been discussed comprehensively. This study aimed to explored nursing students’ experiences in a community setting using the five stages of the nursing process   Method: This study used a qualitative design with the Photovoice approach. A total of 14 students were involved in the study. Data was collected by taking photos and small group discussions for the narrative photo with the SHOWED approach. Photos and narration are the primary data and are analyzed thematically.   Result: A total of approximately eighteen photos have been included. At the assessment phase, the student requires an adaptation process and strategic anticipation, as the practice was conducted directly in the participants’ community. Formulating nursing diagnosis is done through teamwork and group discussion with an approach based on evidence and theory, and asking for guidance from the lecturer as a facilitator for learning. The development of nursing intervention was done with active participation from society, presenting the intervention plan to the community, community meetings, and ensuring the legality of the plan's activities. Implementation in the nursing community is implemented collaboratively between students and the community following the agreed-upon plan. Evaluating nursing practice is done with collaborative reflection of students, discussion together, and related plans, actions, and carrying on independently in public.   Conclusion: This study finds that community-based nursing practice requires student adaptation, strategic planning, and evidence-based teamwork.   Keywords: Clinical nursing education, community health nursing, photovoice, nursing students, nursing care plan

Abstract

Introduction: Work-related muscle pain is a common health problem among beauty clinic workers due to prolonged standing and repetitive movements. Stretching exercises are recognized as a low-cost, non-pharmacological intervention for preventing and reducing musculoskeletal discomfort. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of supervised and unsupervised stretching programs in reducing muscle pain among beauty clinic workers.   Method: A quasi-experimental study employing a two-group pretest–posttest design was conducted with 84 participants recruited from two beauty clinics in Pasuruan, Indonesia. Participant selection was based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria established by the researchers. At Clinic A, participants received supervised stretching exercises facilitated by a community health nurse, whereas at Clinic B, the same stretching routine was carried out independently using printed guidelines. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) both before and after a two-week intervention period. Data analysis was performed with the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and the Mann–Whitney U Test.   Result: Both groups experienced a significant reduction in muscle pain after the intervention (p < 0.001). However, Clinic A showed a greater improvement in pain reduction compared to Clinic B (p = 0.025), indicating the added benefit of professional supervision.   Conclusion: Stretching is an effective strategy for reducing work-related muscle pain, and supervision by community health nurses enhances its effectiveness. This finding supports the integration of structured stretching programs into workplace health promotion, particularly in service sectors with high physical demands. This highlights the vital role of community health nurses in workplace musculoskeletal prevention and the importance of integrating nurse-led initiatives into occupational health programs.   Keywords: Muscle pain, stretching exercise, workplace intervention, community health nursing; beauty clinic workers.

Abstract

Introduction: HIV/AIDS is a terminal disease that attacks the immune system with a fairly high incidence in Indonesia. Adolescents are one of the groups at risk of this, so a commitment is needed in preventing this disease. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the commitment of adolescents in HIV/AIDS prevention behavior and identify factors that influence it.   Method: This cross-sectional study involved 102 adolescents through total sampling. Independent variables include demographic factors (age, gender and residential status) and perception of benefits measured using a questionnaire. The commitment variable as the dependent variable was measured using a questionnaire containing 9 questions. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately with a significance level of 0.05 by the Spearman Rank test.   Result: The results of the study showed that most respondents (56.9%) had a good commitment in HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. Factors that influence commitment include: gender (p =<0.001) and perception of benefits (p=<0.001). Age and residence status were not related to prevention commitment with p=0.224 and p=0.081. Adolescents who have a positive perception of the benefits of carrying out disease prevention behaviors and know the dangers of HIV/AIDS are more committed to adopting prevention behaviors. Gender (woman) is also an important determinant in prevention commitment because of health awareness, exposure to sexual education, and the role of maintaining reproductive health.   Conclusion: Schools have a role in increasing commitment to HIV/AIDS prevention through optimizing educational and counseling facilities with a gender-based prevention approach and focusing on increasing perceptions of benefits.   Keywords: Adolescents, commitment, HIV /AIDS, preventive behavior, perceived benefit

Abstract

Introduction: Work-related stress is a common concern in contemporary work environments, affecting employees physical and psychological health. It is essential to identify effective interventions to mitigate stress and its associated health risks. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have gained attention as promising methods for stress reduction and mental health improvement. This systematic review examines the effectiveness of Mindfulness therapy for stress prevention among workers.   Method: A systematic review following Joanna Briggs Institute recommendations. The databases searched were PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest and Sage Journal. Search was conducted in February 2025. The review synthesizes evidence from recent studies published between 2020 and 2025. Keywords used included 'Mindfulness therapy,' 'stress prevention,' 'occupational stress,' and 'worker well-being.' The inclusion criteria encompassed focusing on adult workers aged 18 to 60. Articles not involving workers or focusing on non-occupational stress were excluded.   Result: A total of 14 studies were included, comprising randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, systematic reviews and observational studies. Findings consistently demonstrated that Mindfulness interventions, such as Mindful Breathing, Mindfulness Meditation, and Body Scan Meditation, effectively reduce stress levels among workers. The results support the adoption of Mindfulness-based practices in occupational health programs. Implementing Mindfulness interventions in the workplace could reduce stress and enhance employee well-being. However, some studies reported variability in the effectiveness based on intervention duration and participant engagement   Conclusion: Mindfulness therapy is a viable strategy for preventing occupational stress. Further research is recommended to explore long-term effects and optimize intervention delivery in diverse workplace settings.   Keywords: Mindfulness, occupational health nursing, stress;worker

Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women, with cases increasingly found in younger populations. Early detection through breast self-examination (BSE) is an effective preventive measure, yet knowledge among Indonesian adolescents remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of audiovisual and leaflet-based education in improving knowledge of BSE among adolescent girls.   Method: A quasi-experimental two-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among seventh- and eighth-grade female students at SMP Negeri 1 Peterongan, Jombang, Indonesia. From a population of 264 students, the sample size was determined using the Krejcie and Morgan formula, yielding 157 participants. To balance the groups, 160 students (80 per group) were recruited. Proportional random sampling was applied. Knowledge levels were measured using a validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and One-Way ANOVA.   Result: Before intervention, most students in the audiovisual group demonstrated poor knowledge (52.5%), while most in the leaflet group had moderate knowledge (50%). After intervention, knowledge levels significantly improved in both groups (p < 0.001). In the audiovisual group, 90% achieved good knowledge, whereas in the leaflet group, 60% maintained moderate knowledge. One-Way ANOVA confirmed a significant difference between groups (p < 0.001), with audiovisual media showing greater effectiveness.   Conclusion: Audiovisual education proved more effective than leaflet-based education in enhancing adolescent girls’ knowledge of BSE. Integrating audiovisual methods into school health programs may strengthen early breast cancer awareness and prevention efforts among young populations.   Keywords: Breast self-examination, adolescent girls, audiovisual media, leaflet, health education.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to explore nurse lecturers' recommendations for enhancing nursing curricula to equip future professional nurses with the awareness, knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to recognise and respond effectively to Gender-Based Violence (GBV). The central research question investigated the content that nurse lecturers recommended for inclusion to improve GBV preparedness among nursing students, alongside the barriers hindering this integration.   Method: A qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive research design was employed. The study population comprised six nurse lecturers from two Higher Education Institutions in the Western Cape, South Africa, selected purposively. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted via Microsoft Teams between January and March 2024. Trustworthiness was ensured through measures such as peer debriefing, triangulation, and researcher reflexivity. Interview transcripts were analysed using Tesch’s thematic analysis method to identify emergent themes.   Result: The study revealed significant barriers to integrating GBV content within current nursing curricula, including curriculum stagnation, limited instructional hours, and a lack of lecturer expertise. Emotional and personal barriers among educators and students further complicate GBV teaching. Despite these challenges, participants provided specific recommendations for curriculum enhancement, such as developing a standalone GBV module, incorporating practical training through simulations and clinical placements, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Key themes that emerged were: (1) Inclusion of GBV content in current nursing curricula, (2) Practical training and clinical placement, (3) Interdisciplinary approach, (4) Teaching strategies, (5) Challenges and barriers, and (6) Strategies to overcome barriers.   Conclusion: The findings highlight critical barriers to effective GBV education in nursing programs but also underscore clear opportunities for curricular enhancement through targeted training, curriculum review, and institutional support. The study concludes that, while significant challenges exist, the recommendations from nurse lecturers offer a clear pathway toward transformation. Integrating comprehensive GBV education is essential to prepare nurses to competently and empathetically manage GBV cases, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes for survivors.   Keywords: Gender-Based Violence, nursing education, curriculum development, qualitative research, South Africa

Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea remains a major public health problem among school-aged children and is closely associated with inadequate hygiene practices, particularly improper handwashing behavior. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of educational interventions using animated videos and leaflets on knowledge and handwashing practices related to clean and healthy living behaviors among school-aged children.   Method: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach was used, involving 114 second- and third-grade students from two public elementary schools in South Jakarta. Participants were equally divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received education through animated videos and leaflets, while the control group received standard education through discussion. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire and a handwashing observation checklist, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney U test.   Result: The results showed significant improvements in knowledge and handwashing practices in the intervention group (p < 0.001), whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group (p > 0.05). Between-group analysis also demonstrated significantly greater improvements in the intervention group (p < 0.001). The effects were consistent across grade levels and genders.   Conclusion: In conclusion, educational interventions using animated videos and leaflets are effective in improving knowledge and handwashing practices among school-aged children and have potential for broader implementation in school-based health promotion programs.   Keywords: Diarrhea; Handwashing practices; Knowledge; School-aged children; Health education

Abstract

Introduction: Menstruation is a normal biological process, yet it remains taboo in many societies, resulting in inadequate menstrual hygiene management (MHM), misinformation, and health issues such as reproductive tract infections. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable due to limited access to information and safe sanitation facilities. This review evaluates current evidence on knowledge, practice, and factors affecting MHM to inform educational and policy-level interventions.   Method: A systematic review following PRISMA principles used. A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar using the keywords like “menstrual hygiene, adolescent girls, knowledge, practices, school absenteeism”. A total of 40 peer-reviewed original research articles published between 2011 and 2021 were included, subject to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The evaluation included studies from a variety of locations, including India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, and Tanzania. Data were extracted and organised into four categories: knowledge, practices, associated factors, and management techniques for menstrual hygiene.   Result: The review identifies major gaps in menstrual knowledge, particularly before to menarche, as well as prevalent beliefs, such as menstruation being a disease or curse. Mothers emerged as the primary source of information, albeit knowledge transfer was frequently poor. Hygiene practices varied greatly; metropolitan females used sanitary pads more frequently, whereas rural and low-income communities relied on cloth or other unsanitary options. The lack of access to private facilities, soap, safe water, and suitable disposal procedures exacerbated the problem. Socioeconomic position, maternal education, and urban location were consistently associated with improved behaviours, whereas cultural taboos reinforced stigma. Importantly, low MHM was highly associated with school absence, which hampered educational performance. Few intervention studies have found that structured school-based education and better WASH facilities significantly increase knowledge and habits.   Conclusion: Comprehensive menstrual teaching in schools, WASH infrastructure investment, subsidised period products, and community sensitisation to lessen stigma are just a few of the urgently needed integrated policy-level initiatives. To advance menstrual health fairness, cooperation between governments, educational institutions, medical professionals, and non-governmental organisations is crucial.   Keywords: Adolescent girls; Menstrual hygiene; Menstrual knowledge; Sanitary products; School absenteeism.

Abstract

Introduction: Occupational health nurses address ergonomic risks, yet research comparing digital and conventional work practices across job sectors remains limited. This study aims to systematically search existing literature on digitalized and conventional ergonomic practices across occupations to identify strategies for preventing musculoskeletal disorders.   Method: A scoping review was conducted to identify the key elements of digitalized and conventional ergonomic practices, extracted by using method used, countries, job categories, and body areas most frequently studied. A systematic searching methodology was conducted utilizing five databases. Search strategies were developed using controlled vocabularies based on Emtree and MeSH terms, to identify relevant keywords and subject headings up to the year 2025. Study selection process predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. To ensure methodological rigor and transparency, the review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.   Result: Twenty-two studies were included, revealing three core elements-physical, cognitive, and organizational ergonomics- in both digitalized and conventional ergonomic practices across occupations. The corresponding sub-elements highlighted the growing role of technology in the evolution of ergonomic practices, with digital approaches more prevalent in healthcare and office settings, while conventional strategies dominated in industrial environments. Most studies focused on physical ergonomics, particularly posture correction, exercise therapy, and workstation modifications. Most of studies used pain measurement as the primary study outcome that achieved through educational interventions, ergonomic job rotation, and work schedule adjustments.   Conclusion: Ergonomic practices with digitalized and conventional strategies offer actionable recommendations for human factors in working environments, to prevent musculoskeletal pain related to working posture, benefiting occupational health professionals and providing a foundation for future meta-analyses on specific interventions.   Keywords: ergonomics; musculoskeletal pain; occupational health nursing; practices.
