Abstract

Mental disorders represent a significant global health concern, adversely affecting individuals' well-being and quality of life. Empirical evidence suggests gender-based differences in the prevalence of mental disorders, yet comprehensive analyses within adult populations remain limited. This study aimed to examine gender differences in the prevalence of four major categories of mental disorders—neurotic disorders, substance use disorders (SUD), psychotic disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—in the adult population. The study population consisted of adult patients aged 18 years and older who were present in the designated research area during the study period. From this population, a total sample of 2,875 respondents was targeted using a consecutive sampling technique, where every eligible individual was selected in sequence until the required sample size was achieved. Inclusion criteria included adults who were able to communicate and willing to complete the questionnaire, while those with severe cognitive impairment or in emergency conditions were excluded. Data were collected using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-29), a validated and reliable instrument comprising 29 closed-ended items that assess symptoms across four mental health domains: neurotic, substance use, psychotic, and PTSD. Each “YES” answer was scored as 1 and each “NO” as 0. The responses were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages) were used to summarize the data, while the Chi-Square Test of Independence was applied to examine gender-based differences. Additionally, Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to assess the strength of association between gender and mental disorder indications. The findings revealed that neurotic disorders, psychotic disorders, and PTSD were more prevalent in females than in males. Neurotic disorders affected 47.7% of females and 28.3% of males; psychotic disorders were present in 32.6% of females and 27.2% of males; PTSD affected 63.6% of females compared to 46.8% of males. No cases of substance use disorders were reported in either gender group. There are significant gender differences in the prevalence of certain mental disorders, with females exhibiting higher rates of neurotic disorders, psychotic disorders, and PTSD. These findings highlight the need for gender-responsive approaches in mental health interventions, services, and public health policy planning.

Abstract

Acute upper respiratory tract infection is an infectious disease caused by microorganisms, one of which is bacteria, so antibiotics are given. Rational use of antibiotics can provide benefits for recovery and does not cause harm that can cause problems or threats to the health of sufferers. Inappropriate administration of antibiotics can hurt patients, one of which is antibiotic resistance. Objective to obtain an overview of the rationality of antibiotic prescription in patients with acute upper respiratory tract infections at the Baun Health Center, Kupang Regency in 2020. This study was conducted using non-experimental research that is descriptive by taking medical record data retrospectively. Sampling was carried out using the non-probability sampling technique and the purposive sampling type, namely determining the sample based on certain considerations where the sample must meet the inclusion criteria, the number of cases of acute upper respiratory tract infections in 2020 was 226 cases. Data collection using secondary data, namely data obtained from medical records of patients with acute upper respiratory tract infections in 2020 at the Baun Health Center, Kupang Regency. The data obtained will be analyzed descriptively quantitatively, including: the percentage of rational and irrational antibiotic prescriptions, the frequency of types of antibiotics used. Acute upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) in Baun Health Center mostly occurred in the 20–44 years age group (32.7%) and were more often experienced by women (59.3%), with the most common diagnosis being rhinosinusitis (48.2%); The most commonly used antibiotic was amoxicillin monotherapy, given to 89.4% of patients; The use of antibiotics showed 100% accuracy of indication and patient, 90.3% accuracy of drug, 65% accuracy of dose, and 55.3% rationality of use. Most in the 20–44 years age group (28.3%) and women (39.3%). Acute upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) at the Baun Health Center, Kupang Regency, occurred most in the 20–44 years age group and were more often experienced by women, with rhinosinusitis as the most common diagnosis. Antibiotic use was dominated by amoxicillin monotherapy. Evaluation of the appropriateness of antibiotic use showed quite good results in terms of indications, patient selection, and type of drug, but there were still shortcomings in the appropriateness of dosage and overall rationality of use. The rationality of treatment was most often found in the 20–44 years age group and in female patients.

Abstract

The quality of life of parents is an important thing in caring for children with special needs; it can be influenced by physical and emotional health. Health workers need to know the condition of the quality of life of parents to ensure the optimal care and intervention given. This study aims to analyze the quality of life of parents with children with special needs in special elementary schools in Banda Aceh City. The research design used is quantitative analytical with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study was 233 parents of Special Elementary School students in the Banda Aceh City area. Sampling using convenience sampling techniques, namely paying attention to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire-BREF 27 (WHOQOL_BREF). Data analysis using logistic regression tests. The results showed that there was a relationship between the burden of caring for children (P=0.004), comorbidity (P=0.000), mental health depression (P=0.000), sleep quality (P=0.038), self-efficacy (P=0.000), education (P=0.024), employment (P=0.013), marital status (P=0.043) with the quality of life of parents with children with disabilities. At the same time, there was no relationship between mental health anxiety (P=0.650), stress (P=0.171), social support (P=0.457), family income (P=0.129), number of children (P=0.218) and gender of the child (P=0.218) with the quality of life of parents with children with disabilities. The most dominant variable influencing the quality of life of parents with children with disabilities is marital status. Single parents will be 5 times at risk of experiencing low quality of life compared to parents who raise their children with a complete family.

Abstract

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are rare delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions characterized by detachment of the epidermis and mucous membranes, along with skin necrosis. While these conditions are rare in children, they are most commonly caused by antibiotics, antiepileptic drugs, and antipyretic drugs. This case report aims to highlight thiamphenicol as a rare and potentially overlooked cause of SJS/TEN in pediatric patients. A 14-year-old girl who developed painful red patches accompanied by fluid-filled blisters on almost her entire body which appeared five days after taking the antibiotic thiamphenicol. The patient also experienced red, watery eyes; blisters on the lips and oral cavity; involvement of the nipples; and was unable to swallow due to severe pain in the mouth and throat. The patient was diagnosed with SJS-TEN overlap, and showed a good response to systemic corticosteroids (methilprednisolone) and supportive therapy. Her overall prognosis was favorable, with a Severity-of-Illness Score for Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SCORTEN) score of 1. The management of SJS/TEN involves a multidisciplinary specialist approach, immediate withdrawal of the suspected drug, administration of corticosteroids, and comprehensive supportive care.

Abstract

Herpes zoster (HZ) is an acute skin infection caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), characterized by unilateral radicular pain and clustered vesicles following a dermatomal pattern. Although more commonly seen in older adults and immunocompromised individuals, HZ can also occur in immunocompetent children who have received complete varicella immunization, although this is rare. This report aims to describe a case of HZ in an immunocompetent child without a prior history of varicella infection and to raise clinical awareness of the possibility of HZ in low-risk pediatric populations. The method used is a case report with a descriptive clinical approach, including symptom evaluation, physical examination, and treatment with antiviral and supportive therapies. The findings indicate that HZ can be clinically diagnosed even in children considered low-risk. In conclusion, HZ should remain a differential diagnosis in children presenting with characteristic vesicular lesions, to ensure prompt recognition and appropriate management.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a transitional period that is physically and emotionally challenging for a mother. One of the emotional disorders that often appear during this period is baby blues, which is a feeling of sadness, anxiety, and irritability that usually occurs in the first week after childbirth. This study aims to identify and analyze the benefits of bounding attachment in preventing baby blues in postpartum mothers through a systematic review of scientific literature. This study used a Systematic Literature Review design with reference to the PRISMA guidelines. Article searches were conducted through two main databases, namely PubMed and Google Scholar, with a publication range between 2020 and 2025. The search strategy was organized based on the PICO approach, using keywords such as "bounding attachment", "baby blues", and "postpartum mother". Of the 320 articles found, a selection process based on inclusion and exclusion criteria was carried out to obtain 10 articles that were analyzed in depth. The analysis showed that bounding attachment has significant benefits in reducing the risk of baby blues. Bounding attachment is a simple but effective intervention in preventing emotional disorders in postpartum mothers, especially baby blues.

Abstract

Indonesia’s aging population presents an increasing demand for accessible, community-based health services. However, the utilization of Rumah Kasih, a community health program for older adults, remains suboptimal. Objective to examine the reinforcing factors influencing its utilization, including support from healthcare workers, university students, community health workers (CHWs), village heads, family members, and peers. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted involving 192 elderly respondents with total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression. The bivariate analysis indicated that all support factors were significantly associated with service utilization (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis identified healthcare worker support as the most influential predictor (OR = 48.346; p < 0.001), followed by student involvement (OR = 5.259; p = 0.005). Although family support was significant in the bivariate analysis, it was not retained in the multivariate model. CHW and peer support yielded high odds ratios but lacked statistical significance, possibly due to data variability or multicollinearity. These findings highlight the critical role of professional engagement and student participation in enhancing elderly involvement in community health programs. Strengthening these factors, along with targeted strategies to involve social actors, may improve the effectiveness and long-term sustainability of elderly care services.

Abstract

Infantile seborrheic dermatitis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that causes erythema and scaling on the scalp, face, and skin folds. Malnutrition in newborns can affect skin integrity and immunological responses, worsening seborrheic dermatitis symptoms. The Seborrhoeic Dermatitis Area Severity Index (SDASI) evaluates disease severity based on the size and intensity of lesions. This case report aims to describes infantile seborrheic dermatitis in a malnourished newborn who improved significantly clinically after topical medication, as measured by the SDASI. A one-month-old boy child presented with thick, yellowish scales and erythema on the head and right temporo-occipital area that had appeared one week before hospital admission.The patient was diagnosed with infantile seborrheic dermatitis and severe malnutrition (weight-for-age z-score < -3 SD per WHO growth criteria). The first SDASI score was 4. The pediatric department provided nutritional rehabilitation, while the dermatology department provided a topical corticosteroid (desoximetasone 0.25%) and emollients. During the second week of clinical exams, the SDASI score dropped to 0.2. This example demonstrates that combining nutritional support with topical therapy can lead to significant clinical improvement in infantile seborrheic dermatitis, as seen by a significant drop in SDASI score. SDASI is a valuable objective metric for monitoring sickness progression and therapy response in comparable scenarios.

Abstract

Intrahospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has a high mortality (70-90%) despite standard resuscitation. The combination of vasopressin and methylprednisolone has been proposed as an adjuvant therapy to improve Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) and patient outcomes, but evidence of its effectiveness on long-term survival remains controversial. Objective to evaluate the efficacy of vasopressin-methylprednisolone combination versus placebo in IHCA patients for ROSC, survival, and neurologic outcomes. This systematic review study used the PICO framework (Population: Cardiac Arrest In-Hospital Patients; Intervention: Vasopressin + Methylprednisolone; Comparison: Placebo; Outcome: ROSC) and Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) study design. A search in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using the keywords "Vasopressin, Cardiac Arrest In-Hospital, Methylprednisolone, ROSC" resulted in a total of 769,070 initial articles. After screening based on access criteria, language, design, and publication year (2020-2025), 196 articles remained. Further eligibility selection based on sample suitability and specific interventions resulted in 41 potential articles. The final analysis to answer the question of the effect of the combination of Vasopressin and Methylprednisolone on ROSC found 3 RCT journals (from PubMed) that met all inclusion criteria. The combination of vasopressin-methylprednisolone significantly increased ROSC (42% vs. 33%; RR 1.30; 95% CI 1.03–1.63; *p* = 0.03), especially when given ≤8 minutes after cardiac arrest (51% vs. 35%). However, there were no significant differences in 30-day (9.7% vs. 12%; RR 0.83) or 1-year survival (6.3% vs. 8.3%; RR 0.76), favorable neurologic outcome (Cerebral Performance Category 1–2: 7.6% vs. 7.6%), or quality of life (EQ-5D-5L score). Adverse events (hyperglycemia, hypernatremia) were similar between groups. The combination of vasopressin-methylprednisolone effectively improves ROSC but has no impact on long-term survival or neurological recovery. Further studies are needed to identify subpopulations that benefit and explore post-ROSC therapeutic strategies.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition characterized by impaired growth and development in children under five, caused by chronic nutritional deficiencies, resulting in a child being too short for their age. Objective to identify the factors associated with the incidence of stunting among children under five in West Nias Regency. This study was an analytical observational research with a case-control design conducted in West Nias Regency. The sample consisted of 25 children under five in the case group and 25 children in the control group, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test, and cross-tabulation was employed to assess the strength of the association between variables by examining the Odds Ratio (OR) values. The study showed that energy adequacy (OR = 8.333; CI = 2.280–38.762), protein adequacy (OR = 8.000; CI = 1.839–38.175), maternal knowledge (OR = 8.000; CI = 1.839–38.175), maternal education (OR = 23.677; CI = 4.385–118.568), and family income (OR = 14.222; CI = 2.690–61.680) were identified as risk factors for stunting. In contrast, other variables in this study, including low birth weight (OR = 1.678; CI = 0.346–10.604), breastfeeding history (OR = 0.463; CI = 0.35–5.988), and maternal occupation (OR = 1.356; CI = 0.563–4.64), were not found to be significant risk factors for stunting. Inadequate energy and protein intake, limited maternal knowledge, low maternal education, and low family income are risk factors for stunting among children aged 0–59 months.
