The Babali Nursing Research provides a forum for original research and scholarship about health care delivery, organisation, management, workforce, policy and research methods relevant to nursing, midwifery and other health related professions. The BNR aims to support evidence informed policy and practice by publishing research, systematic and other scholarly reviews, critical discussion, and commentary of the highest standard. The journal particularly welcomes studies that aim to evaluate and understand complex health care interventions and health policies and which employ the most rigorous designs and methods appropriate for the research question of interest. The journal also seeks to advance the quality of research by publishing methodological papers introducing or elaborating on analytic techniques, measures, and research methods.

Abstract

Introduction: While new HIV infections among key populations have declined, infections among women traditionally considered low-risk, particularly housewives, have increased. The problem that arises in housewives with HIV is the tendency to keep their disease status secret, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment, which leads to an increase in HIV transmission. However, factors related to HIV incidence in housewives have not been sufficiently explored. This study aims to analyze factors associated with HIV/AIDS incidence among housewives.Methods: This study used a sequential explanatory mixed methods design. A total of 323 respondents were involved in the quantitative study, while the qualitative study involved 6 housewives and 4 triangulation informants, including family members, nurses, counselors, and non-governmental organization leaders. The sampling technique used was purposive, based on the inclusion criteria. This study was conducted at a hospital in Indramayu Regency. Data analysis used the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS).Results: Structural model analysis showed that predisposing factors and sexual behavior have a significant direct effect on HIV incidence, while precipitating factors have an indirect effect through sexual behavior.Conclusion: HIV incidence among housewives is influenced by predisposing factors, precipitating factors, and risky sexual behavior. HIV incidence among housewives is not only influenced by individual behavior, but also by social, economic, cultural, and gender relations within the household. Therefore, HIV prevention must be carried out comprehensively, taking these aspects into account.

Abstract

Introduction: The comparison between advertised chemical-based products and natural herbal ingredients largely depends on individual preferences, cultural backgrounds, and personal experiences. This study aims to analyze the extent to which advertisements and other factors influence women of reproductive age's consumer preferences for chemical-based and herbal hygiene products.Methods: This study analyzed the preferences of women of reproductive age regarding reproductive hygiene products, comparing chemical-based products advertised with natural herbal alternatives. A quantitative survey was conducted on 100 women aged 15–45 years in Kepanjen, Blimbing, Singosari, and Dau, using a stratified random sampling method. Data were collected via questionnaires covering knowledge, product use, selection reasons, and satisfaction levels. Descriptive analysis and Chi-Square (χ²) tests were applied to examine relationships between information sources, product types, and satisfaction levels.Results: 70% of respondents used chemical-based products, mainly due to advertising (45%), while 35% prefered herbal products for safety and family tradition (60%). Respondents who obtained information from advertisements were more likely to use chemical-based products (χ² = 22.48, p = 0.0041), whereas those consulting healthcare professionals preferred herbal products (χ² = 15.72, p = 0.028). A significant relationship was found between product type and satisfaction level (χ² = 9.00, p = 0.0111), with users of herbal products reporting higher satisfaction. However, no significant association was found between product type and side effects (χ² = 5.63, p = 0.060), suggesting that other factors may influence side effects.Conclusion: Although most women prefer chemical-based products due to advertising, satisfaction levels are higher among users of herbal products. Further education on the benefits and risks of both types of products is essential to help women make informed choices for maintaining reproductive hygiene and health.

Abstract

Introduction: Despite the availability of pharmacological treatments, poor adherence and low patient awareness remain barriers to effective long-term management. Non-pharmacological interventions such as acupressure and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) have demonstrated consistent benefits, yet broader implementation is limited by inadequate education, practical guidance, and patient engagement. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies offer opportunities for real-time monitoring and self-management support, but integrating complementary therapies into digital platforms remains underexplored. It aims to synthesize current evidence on the effectiveness of acupressure, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), and mobile health (mHealth) interventions in enhancing self-management among individuals with hypertension.Methods: A narrative review with narrative synthesis was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 and the PICOS framework. Searches were performed in PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using predefined keywords. No artificial intelligence (AI)–based tools were employed. Fifteen eligible studies were identified and thematically analyzed. The review included 15 eligible studies that examined non-pharmacological and digital interventions for hypertension management. Results: Specifically, three studies on acupressure explicitly reported significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, while eight studies on progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), including multimodal formats combined with breathing exercises, music, or audiovisual support, consistently demonstrated improvements in blood pressure, stress, and sleep quality. In addition, three studies on mobile health (mHealth) interventions reported enhanced adherence, patient engagement, and self-monitoring behaviors. One additional study investigated acupuncture (needle-based stimulation rather than manual acupressure); this study was retained for completeness but not synthesized with the primary findings due to differences in intervention characteristics.Conclusion: Overall, although strong evidence supports the effectiveness of acupressure, PMR, and mHealth individually, none of the included studies integrated acupressure and PMR within a single mHealth platform, underscoring a critical gap in digital hypertension management research.

Abstract

Introduction: Fall risk is a major geriatric concern linked to age-related gait instability. Changes in gait parameters, such as step length, step width, and walking speed, reflect neuromuscular decline and increase instability. While international evidence supports this association, local data among community-dwelling older adults in Tabanan Regency, Bali, remain limited. This study aimed to examine the association between gait parameters and fall risk.Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 119 community-dwelling adults aged 60–79 years. Gait parameters, including step length, step width, and walking speed, were assessed using the 10-meter walk test, and fall risk was measured using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Chi-square tests were used for bivariate analysis, and binary logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors.Results: A total of 36.1% of participants were classified as at risk of falling. Bivariate analysis showed significant associations between fall risk and step length (p = 0.050), step width (p = 0.006), walking speed (p < 0.001), and age (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified walking speed (AOR = 0.150; p = 0.005), leg-length symmetry (AOR = 0.292; p = 0.026), and step width (AOR = 0.345; p = 0.038) as independent predictors. Step length was excluded from the multivariate analysis due to complete separation in the data.Conclusion: Walking speed, step width, and leg-length symmetry were independent predictors of fall risk. These findings support the use of simple gait assessments for early fall risk screening in community and primary care settings.
