Abstract

Pneumonia is the leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in Indonesia today. Challenges in determining the severity of pneumonia quickly and accurately contribute to the increase in cases, so the identification of hematologic biomarkers predictive of clinical worsening is important. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of RDW and NLR to the severity of pneumonia in pediatric patients at Jombang Regional Hospital. This research design uses Analytical Observational with Retrospective Cohort Study approach. The total population of all patients was 100 with a research sample of 50 patients. This study used purposive consecutive sampling technique. The measurement tool for pneumonia severity used the PRESS (Pediatric Respiratory Severity Score) indicator in the form of a research sheet and data analysis using the Spearman Rank Test. The results of this study showed that most samples were in the age group of 1 month - 1 year (52.00%) with the highest gender of male (62.0%). The average RDW and NLR values were 15.050% and 2.91, respectively, with the most pneumonia severity category in the moderate category (66%). Based on the results of statistical tests using Spearman Rank, the significance values of RDW (ρ = 0.000 and r = 0.501) and NLR (ρ = 0.000 and r = 0.622) can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between RDW and NLR on the severity of pneumonia in pediatric patients in the Srikandi Ward of Jombang Hospital. An increase in RDW is a reaction to the release of cytokines as a response to inflammatory stress, while an increase in NLR is a reaction to an increase in neutrophils and a decrease in lymphocytes which indicates an inflammatory process. Thus, RDW and NLR values can be used as cheap, simple, fast and accurate hematologic biomarkers to assess the severity of pneumonia in children.

Abstract

Depression in adolescents is a growing mental health problem that can impact psychological, social, and academic aspects. Parenting styles significantly impact adolescent mental health. Inappropriate parenting styles have the potential to lead to emotional problems, including depression. This study aimed to determine the relationship between parenting styles and depression levels in adolescents aged 16–18 at SMAN 1 Widodaren, Ngawi Regency. This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population was 1,158 and the sample size was 92 respondents, selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) to measure parenting styles and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) to measure depression levels. Statistical tests used the Spearman Rank Test. The analysis revealed a significant relationship between parenting styles and depression levels in adolescents aged 16–18 at SMAN 1 Widodaren. The findings confirm that implementing appropriate parenting styles is crucial for maintaining adolescent mental health and preventing depression. It is recommended that future research include other variables, such as social support or the school environment, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing adolescent depression. Keywords: Depression, Parenting Styles, & Adolescents Aged 16-18.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major global health problem due to its irreversible nature due to the inability of the kidneys to function optimally in carrying out their regulation. CKD patients can experience psychological problems, requiring spiritual needs and family support that can affect psychological well-being. This study aims to determine the relationship between psychological well-being and influencing factors in CKD patients. This research method used a quantitative research type with a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was all CKD patients treated in the Hemodialysis Room at Dr. Adjidarmo Regional General Hospital with a sample size of 115 people using quota sampling in August 2025. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant relationship between spirituality and psychological well-being (p-value 0.001 <0.05) and no relationship between family support and psychological well-being (p-value 0.08>0.05). High spirituality will have a 3.54 times greater chance of having good psychological well-being compared to low spirituality. In conclusion, nurses need to pay attention to the spiritual aspect of CKD patients in order to improve the psychological well-being of patients by implementing spiritual care for patients.

Abstract

Burnout is a condition of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive work demands. Emergency Department (ED) nurses are at high risk of burnout due to heavy workloads and intense emotional pressure, which may affect their performance. This study aimed to determine the relationship between burnout and nurses’ performance in the Emergency Department of Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Hospital. This research used a quantitative approach with a descriptive analytic design and a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 45 ED nurses selected using a total sampling technique. The instruments used were the Malach Burnout Syndrome (MBS) questionnaire for burnout and a performance assessment questionnaire for nurses’ performance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test. The findings showed that most respondents experienced mild burnout (88.9%) and had high performance (88.9%). The Chi-Square test indicated a significant relationship between burnout and nurses’ performance (p = 0.01). Conclusion: Lower levels of burnout are associated with higher performance. These results emphasize the importance of preventing burnout to maintain the quality of nursing care in the Emergency Department. Keywords: burnout, nurses’ performance, emergency department, work fatigue

Abstract

Sectio caesarea carries a high risk of sharp injuries that may endanger medical personnel. The Hands-Free Technique (HFT) is a method of passing sharp instruments through a neutral zone to reduce such risks. However, its understanding and application during intramural injections remain limited. Methods: A mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design was employed. Quantitative data were collected from 30 nurses using a questionnaire, and qualitative data were obtained through focus group discussions (FGDs) with 15 nurses. Descriptive, inferential, and thematic analyses were conducted. Results: Most respondents (53.3%) had a low level of knowledge about HFT. No significant differences were found by years of experience, prior training, or procedure frequency. The FGDs identified key barriers: limited knowledge, insufficient training and monitoring, and established routines perceived as more practical. Suggested solutions included regular practice-based training, visual aids in the workspace, supervisor accompaniment during procedures, and periodic monitoring with feedback and recognition. Discussion: These findings highlight the need for systematic interventions such as routine training, visual aids, and regular evaluations to support more consistent and safe implementation of HFT in operating rooms.  Keywords: Barrier, Hands-Free Technique, nurse knowledge, sectio caesarea, solutions

Abstract

Hypertension in the elderly is still a serious health problem, especially in the Surabaya area with the highest prevalence in East Java. This condition not only affects the physical, but also has an impact on the mental health of the elderly, such as anxiety and depression, which often go unnoticed and actually worsen blood pressure. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the combination of Hatha Yoga therapy and chayote juice in lowering blood pressure and improving the psychological condition of the elderly. The research design used a quasi-experiment with a pre-post test approach in two groups. A total of 100 elderly hypertensive patients in RW 04, Sumber Rejo Village, Surabaya, were divided into treatment groups (n=50) and control groups (n=50) through purposive sampling techniques. The treatment group underwent Hatha Yoga and consumed chayote juice twice a week for four weeks. Meanwhile, the control group participated in routine elderly gymnastics. Data were collected through questionnaires and observations, then analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed a significant improvement in the emotional aspects of the elderly and a marked decrease in blood pressure in the treatment group with significant difference results (p = 0.000). This combination therapy has been shown to be effective and can be recommended as a safe, easy-to-apply, and beneficial nursing intervention in treating hypertension and mild psychological disorders in the elderly.  Keywords: Hypertension, Elderly, Mental Health, Hatha Yoga, Chayote.
