Abstract

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide, including in Indonesia. Coronary angiography as the gold standard for CAD diagnosis often triggers significant anxiety in patients, which may affect physiological stability and increase the risk of complications.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of natural music therapy in reducing anxiety among CAD patients undergoing coronary angiography at RSPAD Gatot Soebroto.Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a non-randomized control group pretest–posttest design. The study was conducted at RSPAD Gatot Soebroto, Jakarta, in 2024. A total of 30 patients were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received 20 minutes of natural music therapy, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and physiological parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate) were also assessed. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and Mann–Whitney U test with a significance level of α = 0,05.Results: The findings revealed a significant reduction in anxiety scores in the intervention group (mean difference = 24,13 ± 11,64; p = 0,000), whereas the control group showed no significant change (mean difference = 0,20 ± 3,19; p = 0.812). Between-group analysis demonstrated a statistically significant difference in anxiety reduction (p = 0,000). However, natural music therapy did not significantly influence physiological parameters.Conclusion: Natural music therapy was effective in reducing anxiety among CAD patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Abstract

Background: The Referral Back Program (PRB) is a strategy of the Indonesian Health Insurance Agency (BPJS Kesehatan) to transfer the management of chronic disease patients from hospitals to community health centers in order to reduce referral burdens, improve efficiency, and maintain continuity of therapy. Its implementation still faces limitations in resources, suboptimal coordination, and low patient compliance, thus requiring a comprehensive evaluation to assess the program's effectiveness.Objective: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Referral Back Program (PRB) by reviewing the input, process, and output aspects of PRB implementation in community health centers in Semarang City in 2024.Method: This study is a descriptive qualitative study conducted in 10 pilot project community health centers in Semarang City in 2024. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies. Respondents consisted of health center heads, health workers, PRB administrative staff, and PRB patients. Data analysis was performed using triangulation of sources, methods, and documents.Results: The implementation of PRB at the Semarang City Health Center in 2024 was not optimal. In terms of input, there was a shortage of health workers, uneven distribution of medicines, and manual administration. In terms of service implementation, guidelines were followed, but coordination between FPKTP and FPKTL was inconsistent and patient education was not structured. In terms of output, patient compliance was still low, program effectiveness was not optimal, and patient satisfaction was influenced by the availability of medicines and the smooth running of services.Conclusion: PRB at the Semarang City Health Center has not been effective due to limited resources, weak coordination, and low patient compliance. This condition shows a gap between policy and practice, so it is necessary to strengthen human resources, improve administration, increase coordination, and educate patients to support the success of PRB.

Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding is highly recommended to support infant growth and development. However, exclusive breastfeeding rates remain at 55,5%. One contributing factor is low milk production. Fennel seeds are one ingredient thought to increase milk production.Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the phytochemical content and effects of ethanol extract of fennel seeds on milk production and pup weight gain.Methods: This animal study was conducted from March to September 2019. Animal maintenance was carried out at Biopharmaceutical Study Center, Bogor. A total of 24 lactating rats were grouped into four treatments (EA1:88,75 mg/kg, EA2:177,50 mg/kg, EA3:355,00 mg/kg, and N:control). The interventions were administered from day 3 to 21 of lactation. Data included phytochemical, milk production, and pup weight gain. The milk production was calculated indirectly based on the pup weight gain. Data were analyzed using ANOVA at α=0.05.Results: Extract of fennel seed contains flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, and steroids. Milk production up to day 15 of lactation in N, EA1, EA2, and EA3 was 1,65 g/day, 2,67 g/day, 2,34 g/day, and 1,95 g/day, respectively. Up to day 15, there was a significant difference in milk production in EA1 compared to the control (p=0,047). However, milk production up to day 21 of lactation showed no significant difference (p=0,055). Pup weight gain was also not significantly different (p>0,05).Conclusion: Administration of EA1 significantly increased milk production up to day 15 compared to the control, but milk production up to day 21 and the pup weight gain showed no significant results.

Abstract

Background: The number of poor people in Yogyakarta City increased by 7,37% compared to the previous year in 2020 and 2021. The scale of household hunger in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta Province was 6% before the pandemic and increased during the pandemic to 11%. The research question of this study is whether there is a change in the frequency of food consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic in Yogyakarta City and whether there is a relationship between food insecurity and the frequency of food consumption in Yogyakarta City.Objectives: This study aims to compare the frequency of food consumption among Yogyakarta City people aged 20–54 before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This study used cross-sectional design.The research was conducted in Yogyakarta City from February 2021 to February. There were 357 people involved in this study. The sample was selected using multistage random sampling.Data were collected using interview techniques and filling out respondent identity questionnaires, Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS). Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically.The difference test used the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Relationship between food security status and frequency of food consumption during the COVID-19 Pandemic used the Spearman's rank Correlation Test.Results: The results showed that there was a difference in the frequency of consumption of vegetables and fruit between before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (p= 0,035; p=0,010). There was a significant relationship between food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic and the frequency of consumption of staple foods (p=0,04;r=-0,10), milk/dairy products (p=0,02;r=-0,12), meat (p=0,00,r=-0,28), fish/seafood (p=0,00;r=0,33), and fruit (p=0,00;r=-0,19).Conclusion: Fruit and vegetable consumption has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to pre-pandemic levels. There was a significant relationship between food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic and the frequency of consumption of staple foods, milk, meat, fish/seafood, and fruit. Public health strategies should ensure access to affordable sources of animal for food-insecure populations during health crises.

Abstract

Background: Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) is one of the leading causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations. Ferritin reflects iron storage and has the potential to serve as a predictive biomarker for IUGR, while socio-cultural factors influence maternal nutritional status and antenatal health behaviors.Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between ferritin levels and IUGR among pregnant women in the Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) community, and to explore the socio-cultural context that affects iron status and fetal growth.Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted from July to August 2025 among 31 pregnant women from the Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) community in Tebo Regency, Jambi. Quantitative data were obtained through ferritin measurement using a Ferritin Rapid Test from capillary blood, while IUGR was identified based on fundal height, abdominal girth, and fetal heart rate. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations focusing on dietary practices, cultural beliefs, and access to health services.Results: Nineteen respondents (61,3%) had low ferritin levels (<15 ng/mL), and eight (25,8%) were categorized as having IUGR. Low ferritin levels were significantly associated with IUGR (p=0,02; OR=5,3; 95% CI: 1,1–24,5). Qualitative findings revealed limited dietary diversity, dependence on forest-based foods, and cultural practices that restricted antenatal care access, which indirectly increased the risk of IUGR.Conclusion: Low ferritin levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of IUGR, and socio-cultural factors exacerbated this condition through their influence on maternal nutrition and health behaviors among SAD pregnant women. Integrating simple ferritin screening with an understanding of the socio-cultural context may serve as an effective strategy for early screening and prevention in remote areas.

Abstract

Background: During pregnancy, uncontrolled blood glucose levels can influence the mode and process of delivery. Gestational diabetes may lead to macrosomia due to excessive placental glucose transfer, which is stored as fetal fat. Macrosomia increases the risk of various delivery complications, including cesarean section, preterm birth, neonatal hypoglycemia, and other neonatal complications.Objective: This study aimed to examine differences in maternal blood glucose levels according to the mode of delivery in the working area of Langsa Baro Subdistrict Health Center, Langsa City.Methods: This was an analytic quantitative study with a retrospective design conducted in February 2025 using data from January to December 2024. A total of 119 postpartum women were included using total sampling. Data were obtained from midwives’ medical records at village health posts based on inclusion criteria, entered into a checklist, and analyzed descriptively for univariate data to assess frequency distribution. Bivariate analysis was performed using the independent t-test.Results: The findings showed that the majority of respondents with normal blood glucose levels (60%) delivered spontaneously, whereas 75% of those with abnormal blood glucose levels underwent operative delivery (cesarean section/laparotomy). Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference in maternal blood glucose levels by mode of delivery (p = 0,006).Conclusion: Maternal blood glucose levels differ according to the mode of delivery. Therefore, monitoring and controlling blood glucose levels during pregnancy are essential to prevent maternal and neonatal complications related to pregnancy and childbirth.

Abstract

Background: Complementary feeding plays a crucial role in preventing malnutrition during early childhood. However, inappropriate complementary feeding practices that do not align with the World Health Organization (WHO) Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) guidelines remain prevalent in developing countries, contributing to high rates of undernutrition and child mortality worldwide.Objective: This review aimed to map the current scientific evidence on the association between complementary feeding and malnutrition among children aged 6–23 months in developing countries, based on the latest WHO IYCF indicators.Methods: This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR framework. Literature searches were conducted across Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for English and Indonesian publications from 2020–2025. Eligible studies included observational research examining the relationship between WHO IYCF indicators and child nutritional outcomes. Study quality was assessed using The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Tools, and data were analyzed descriptively without quantitative synthesis.Results: Of 4,454 screened articles, 10 met the inclusion criteria. The mapped evidence consistently showed that inappropriate complementary feeding practices are associated with stunting, wasting, and underweight among children. However, the strength of associations varied due to contextual differences in socioeconomic conditions, dietary culture, national nutrition programs, and variations in the application and measurement of WHO indicators.Conclusion: Appropriate complementary feeding practices based on WHO IYCF indicators are positively linked to better nutritional outcomes in children aged 6–23 months. Strengthening evidence-based, multisectoral interventions and longitudinal research is essential to address disparities in child nutrition.
