Abstract

The impact of negative reproductive health outcomes is greater for female adolescents than for males, so the role of parents in providing health education to female adolescents is an important thing that requires serious attention. Mothers are parents as primary caregivers who have an important role in the development of reproductive health in adolescents. Lack of knowledge and perception of mothers about reproductive health in parents can trigger reproductive health problems, such as unwanted pregnancies, abortions, early marriages, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and perception of mothers on adolescent reproductive health. The sample was adolescents aged 12-18 years in the working area of ​​the Ngasem Health Center, Kediri Regency, as many as 80 respondents who were obtained based on proportional random sampling techniques. The instrument used to measure the variables of knowledge, maternal perception and adolescent reproductive health used a questionnaire. Data analysis used the Spearman rank test with a significance level of 0.05. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between maternal knowledge and adolescent reproductive health education with a fairly strong correlation value (r = 0.482), and there was a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and adolescent reproductive health education with a fairly strong correlation value (r = 0.482), there was also a significant relationship between maternal perception and reproductive health education in adolescents with a strong correlation value (r = 0.777). Efforts are needed to improve maternal knowledge and perception in order to provide reproductive education so that adolescents become more responsible for their reproductive health.  Keywords: knowledge, perception, reproductive health, adolescent mother

Abstract

Poor sleep quality among university students is often associated with academic stress, lifestyle habits, and irregular routines, which may influence blood pressure (BP). This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and BP in Indonesian university students. A descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 207 students at a private university in North Sulawesi Province of Indonesia. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and BP was measured with an aneroid sphygmomanometer. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation. The mean sleep quality score was 8.50 (SD=3.51) and 84.1% of participants were classified as having poor sleep quality. The mean systolic and diastolic BP were 107.76 mmHg (SD=13.61) and 75.91 mmHg (SD=11.91), respectively. A significant but weak negative correlation was observed between sleep quality and systolic BP (r=-0.191, p=0.006). While these findings differ from much of the global evidence linking poor sleep to higher BP, they highlight the complexity of sleep-BP interactions in young and healthy populations. These findings emphasize the importance of promoting better sleep hygiene, healthier lifestyle behaviors, and cardiovascular health strategies within university settings.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Failure (CKF) with hemodialysis is a therapy used for patients with stage 5 chronic kidney failure (ESRD) to maintain kidney function. Hemodialysis is one of the therapies for patients with chronic kidney failure followed by electrolyte fluid imbalance disorders. Where the patient's blood containing toxins is diverted to the dialyzer to filter or clean through a semi-permeable membrane and then returned to the patient's body. The purpose of this study was to provide non-pharmacological therapy to reduce anxiety in patients with hemodialysis. This study is a true experiment study with a pre and post test approach with a population of 250 and a sample of 75 people was taken using random sampling techniques. Data were collected and analyzed using the Paired T Test. The results of the study showed that the results of the Paired T test for the instrumental music group obtained a sig value (2 tailed) in the pre and post test of 0.000 <0.05, which means that there is one group that has a very significant difference. The conclusion of this study is that there is anxiety and stress in patients undergoing hemodialysis, especially in new patients. Anxiety can be minimized by diverting attention using music, including instrumental music.

Abstract

  Factor VIII/IX deficiency in hemophilia make patients susceptible to joint bleeding (hemarthrosis), especially in the knee, elbow and ankle joint. Repeated bleeding episodes trigger chronic joint damage (arthropathy) and pain, thus disrupting functional status, limiting social life which ultimately reduces quality of life. In Indonesia, factor VIII/IX replacement concentrate is the main treatment for hemophilia which is given on-demand. Its is because the price is still relativelt expensive and the stock is unevenly distributed in all regions. This systematic review aims to explore various non-pharmacological approaches that are eddective in improving the quality of life of adult with hemophilia. The method used in this research is article searches. Data obtained from 8 databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Wiley, ClinicalKey Nursing, Taylor & Francis, Proquest and Springer Nature Link by filtering articles based on year of publication, title, abstract and full text. The result obtained 10 articles that match with inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were three aspects of quality of life in hemophilia, five articles focused on addressing problems in the physiological aspect, five anothers discussed problems in the psychological aspect, and only one study intervened social aspect. Intervensions were carried out with various method such as education, watching virtual reality videos, counseling, hypnosis, use of knee support and physical exercise. Non-pharmacological approaches have been shown to improve quality of life with various intervention, but all interventions were given when there was no acute bleeding episodes (hemarthrosis).

Abstract

Infants often experience fever, which if left untreated can cause seizures. Febrile seizures can cause brain abnormalities. Non-pharmacological methods such as compresses are used to reduce fever, including tepid water sponges and aloe vera compresses, but further research is needed on which compress method is more effective in reducing fever. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of tepid water sponges and aloe vera compresses in reducing body temperature in toddlers with febrile seizures. This study adopted a true experiment using a pretest-posttest design with two control groups, using purposive sampling. A sample of 30 people was taken from the population of toddlers treated at Dr. Doris Sylvanus Regional General Hospital. The instruments used were observation sheets, thermometers, aloe vera gel, SOP for tepid water sponges, and SOP for aloe vera compresses, which were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Rank and Mann Whitney tests. The results showed that there was a significant decrease in body temperature with the tepid water sponge intervention and the aloe vera compress intervention. Based on the mean rank for aloe vera compresses > than the mean rank for tepid water sponges, it means that aloe vera compresses are more effective than tepid water sponges, so they can be recommended as a safe and easy-to-apply non-pharmacological method. Healthcare workers and families are advised to use aloe vera compresses as a practical alternative for treating fever in toddlers at home and in healthcare facilities, and to integrate them into education and guidelines for caring for children with fever.

Abstract

The Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) is a systematic strategy aimed at improving the quality of life for patients with chronic illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. However, patient adherence to this program remains relatively low, particularly in semi-rural areas such as the Dlingo II Primary Health Center, Bantul. Understanding the factors that influence adherence is crucial for designing more effective and contextually appropriate interventions. This study aims to analyze the determinants of patient adherence to Prolanis using the Health Belief Model (HBM) framework and interpret the findings through a holistic nursing perspective. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 163 active Prolanis patients within the working area of Dlingo II Primary Health Center. The variables examined included perceived benefits, perceived barriers, social support, and cues to action, analyzed using bivariate chi-square tests and multivariate binary logistic regression. The results indicate that all variables within the HBM framework significantly influence patient adherence (p < 0.05), with cues to action being the most dominant factor (OR = 8.615), followed by perceived benefits (OR = 5.637), social support (OR = 5.026), and perceived barriers (OR = 2.878). These findings highlight the importance of contextual education, meaningful reminders, and supportive social environments as key factors for program success. Adherence to Prolanis is influenced not only by individual perceptions but also by social dynamics and local cultural values. Integrating the HBM approach with holistic nursing provides a more comprehensive understanding of patient behavior and supports the effectiveness of community-based interventions in semi rural settings.

Abstract

In Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), the time elapsed between the onset of symptoms and the patient receiving treatment is an important determinant of survival and subsequent recovery. However, many patients do not receive treatment as quickly as recommended, largely due to substantial pre-hospital delays such as waiting to seek medical attention after the initial onset. Objective  to determine the relationship between the mode of transportation used by patients and delays in their arrival at the Emergency Department (ED).  This study used a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were SKA patients at Dr. Mohammad Zyn Sampang Regional General Hospital. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling, with a sample size of 35 people calculated using the Slovin formula. Based on data analysis and statistical tests, it was found that there was a relationship between the mode of transportation and the time of patient arrival at the ED. The arrival time of patients at the ED can be influenced by several factors, one of which is the mode of transportation used to go to the hospital. There is a need for education regarding the importance of arriving at the ED immediately for patients and families with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Abstract

Medical emergencies remain the leading cause of death worldwide, with most occurring in the pre-hospital phase. Ambulance personnel play a vital role in providing initial assistance, requiring basic skills through Basic Pre-Hospital Life Support (BPHLS) training. The purpose of this study was to review the effectiveness of BPHLS training in improving the competence of ambulance personnel through a literature review. This study is a a systematic literature review based on PRISMA guidelines. Searches were conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for articles published between 2018 and 2024. Of the 152 articles identified, 12 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed narratively. The results of the study showed that most studies showed that BPHLS training improved the knowledge, skills, confidence, and behavior of ambulance personnel in handling emergencies. Simulation-based training methods were more effective than lectures. However, several studies reported a decline in skills within 6–12 months without refresher training, and the impact on patient clinical outcomes was still inconsistent. BPHLS training has been proven effective in improving the competence of ambulance personnel, but it needs to be conducted regularly, be standardized nationally, and be supported by quality facilities and instructors. It is recommended that there be periodic refresher training programs and integration of training into the education system and pre-hospital services.
