Abstract

Job stress is one of the occupational health problems frequently experienced by healthcare workers, particularly nurses, and can impact performance, service quality, and patient safety. Hospitals should actively manage these factors to foster a supportive environment. Various factors related to work conditions are known to influence nurses' work stress levels. This study aims to determine the factors associated with work stress in nurses in the inpatient ward of Ibnu Sina Hospital (YW-UMI), Makassar. This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design. The study population was all nurses working in the inpatient ward of Ibnu Sina Hospital (YW-UMI), Makassar. The study sample consisted of 86 people selected using a total sampling technique. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed that workload (p = 0.002), work fatigue (p = 0.000), physical work environment (p = 0.000), and interpersonal communication (p = 0.000) were significantly associated with work stress among nurses in the inpatient ward of Ibnu Sina Hospital (YW-UMI), Makassar. This study concluded that workload, work fatigue, physical work environment, and interpersonal communication are factors associated with work stress among nurses. Therefore, hospitals need to regularly manage workload, control work fatigue, provide a comfortable work environment, and improve interpersonal communication to reduce the risk of work stress among nurses.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health problem with 10.7 million new cases and 1.23 million deaths in 2024, further compounded by the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Existing analyses of MDR-TB risk factors remain limited to the Odds Ratio (OR), which is unable to quantify the magnitude of risk factor contributions at the population level. This study aimed to estimate the Population Attributable Risk Percent (PAR%) and Etiologic Fraction (EF) of risk factors for MDR-TB incidence at Makassar City Regional General Hospital (RSUD Kota Makassar) in 2024. This study is a secondary data analysis based on a publication by Janna et al. (2025), with a sample of 111 TB patients (37 MDR-TB cases and 74 non-MDR-TB controls). PAR% was calculated using Levin's formula [Pₑ(OR−1) / Pₑ(OR−1)+1] × 100% and EF using the formula [(OR−1)/OR] × 100%, focusing on variables that were statistically significant (p < 0.05) with OR > 1. Of the seven variables analyzed, three were statistically significant, namely, side effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs (ATD) with PAR% 93.8% and EF 97.6%; history of previous TB treatment with PAR% 66.3% and EF 90.1%; and undernutritional status (BMI < 18.5 kg/m²) with PAR% 38.2% and EF 61.5%. Management of ATD side effects represents the primary intervention priority, with the potential to prevent 93.8% of MDR-TB cases at RSUD Kota Makassar.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common complaints experienced by adolescent girls and can impact daily activities, concentration in school, and quality of life. Various non-pharmacological efforts have been developed to address dysmenorrhea, one of which is through a combination of lemon essential aromatherapy and Benson relaxation, which is known to provide a relaxing effect, reduce anxiety, and help reduce uterine muscle spasms. The mechanisms by which aromatherapy and relaxation techniques exert their effects involve modulation of the nervous system and reduced levels of stress-related hormones, which can contribute to decreased uterine contractions and reduced pain perception. This study aims to determine the effect of administering a combination of lemon essential aromatherapy and Benson relaxation on the intensity of dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 33 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. The intensity of dysmenorrhea was measured using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed a decrease in the intensity of dysmenorrhea after administering a combination of lemon essential aromatherapy and Benson relaxation. Before the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced moderate pain, while after the intervention, most respondents experienced mild pain, and some respondents no longer felt pain. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value <0.05, indicating a significant effect of the combination of lemon essential aromatherapy and Benson relaxation on reducing dysmenorrhea intensity in adolescent girls. This study concluded that the combination of lemon essential aromatherapy and Benson relaxation was effective in reducing dysmenorrhea intensity in adolescent girls. Understanding the underlying mechanisms can help healthcare professionals better appreciate the potential benefits and optimize the implementation of this non-pharmacological approach.

Abstract

The wood processing or furniture industry is a growing industrial sector in Indonesia. The wood processing process produces dust, which can be inhaled by workers. This dust can cause lung function disorders and other respiratory diseases. This study aims to analyze factors related to lung function disorders in workers in the furniture industrial area of Manggala District, Makassar City. This study used a quantitative, cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all workers in the furniture industrial area of Manggala District, Makassar City. The sampling technique used was total sampling, with a sample size of 35 people. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed no relationship between age and lung function disorders (p = 0.736). There was also no relationship between length of service and lung function disorders (p = 0.734) or between smoking habits and lung function disorders (p = 0.615). Conversely, there was a significant association between length of work and impaired lung function (p = 0.002), as well as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the form of masks and impaired lung function (p = 0.002). Based on the results, it can be concluded that work duration and the use of PPE (masks) are factors associated with impaired lung function among furniture industry workers in Manggala District, Makassar City. Therefore, there is a need to improve compliance with PPE use and to monitor workplace exposure to wood dust. These efforts can help prevent impaired lung function in workers.

Abstract

The growing number of hospitals in Indonesia has led to fiercer competition in the provision of healthcare services. To maintain and improve patient loyalty, hospitals need to understand patient characteristics through market segmentation. This study aims to determine the segmentation of patients using healthcare services at the Mamuju Regency Regional General Hospital in the outpatient setting based on market segmentation characteristics. This study is quantitative, with a descriptive survey approach. The research sample consisted of 78 respondents selected via accidental sampling. Data analysis was conducted using univariate analysis to describe the characteristics of patient segmentation. The results show that based on demographic segmentation, the majority of patients are aged 45–65 years, have a high school education or equivalent, work as farmers, fishermen, or laborers, and have a sufficient income level. Based on geographic segmentation, the majority of patients reside in the Mamuju City area and occupy their own homes. In psychographic segmentation, most patients have high motivation and perceptions of hospital healthcare services. Meanwhile, based on behavioral segmentation, the majority of patients utilize healthcare facilities when experiencing moderate to severe illness, while for mild illnesses, they tend to self-medicate by purchasing medicine at stalls or pharmacies. Furthermore, patients' frequency of hospital service utilization is relatively high. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that outpatients at Mamuju Regency Hospital are predominantly adults and the elderly, have positive perceptions and motivations about healthcare services, and demonstrate a high level of hospital service utilization. This information can inform the hospital's development of marketing strategies and service development that better align with patient characteristics and needs.

Abstract

The third trimester of pregnancy is a critical period preceding childbirth, during which the fetal position and presentation greatly determine the success of the delivery process. Breech presentation is a condition in which the fetus is positioned with the buttocks or feet at the lower part of the uterus and the head at the upper part. An uncorrected breech presentation increases the risk of dystocia, a difficult labor process because the presenting part is not the fetal head, which should normally pass through the birth canal. One non-pharmacological intervention that has been proven effective in facilitating fetal repositioning is the knee-chest position, in which the mother kneels with her chest resting on a surface and her pelvis elevated above her head. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the knee-chest position on fetal head rotation in third-trimester pregnant women with breech presentation at PMB Berkah. This study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design. The study population consisted of all third-trimester pregnant women with breech presentation who underwent antenatal examinations at PMB Berkah during the study period. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, in which respondents were selected based on specific criteria relevant to the research objectives. The total sample consisted of 30 respondents. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the McNemar test applied for statistical testing. The results showed that 22 out of 30 respondents (73.3%) successfully experienced fetal rotation to a cephalic presentation. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.001, indicating that the knee-chest position had a significant effect on changes in fetal position. Based on these findings, the knee-chest position is a beneficial non-pharmacological intervention that can be implemented in primary midwifery care because it is not only safe but can also be performed independently by pregnant women under the guidance of midwives.

Abstract

Inappropriate toothbrushing behavior remains one of the causes of high rates of dental and oral health problems in children. Animated video education is expected to improve tooth-brushing behavior because it is more engaging and easier for children to understand. This study aims to analyze the effect of the GEROGI (Gerakan Gosok Gigi) animated video on tooth-brushing behavior among children aged 6–12 years in the working area of the Cina Community Health Center (UPT), Bone Regency. This study is quantitative, with a quasi-experimental design and a one-group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 38 children was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that 35 respondents (92.1%) experienced an increase in tooth-brushing behavior scores after receiving the GEROGI animated video intervention. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test showed a significant difference in tooth-brushing behavior scores before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). It was concluded that dental and oral health education through the GEROGI animated video was effective in increasing toothbrushing behavior among children aged 6–12 years in the working area of the Cina Community Health Center UPT, Bone Regency.

Abstract

Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders among adolescents and may negatively affect academic performance, social relationships, and quality of life. Limited understanding and inadequate perceptions regarding depression can hinder early prevention efforts. Educational booklets may serve as an effective medium to improve adolescents’ awareness and perceptions of depression prevention. To determine the impact of educational booklets on improving adolescents’ perceptions of depression prevention at Madrasah Aliyah Muhammadiyah Sengkang, Wajo Regency. This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study population consisted of 50 students, with 33 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using perception questionnaires administered before and after the educational intervention. Data analysis was conducted using Paired Sample t-Test and simple linear regression with a significance level of 95%. Results: Prior to the intervention, most respondents demonstrated moderate perceptions (51.5%), while 24.2% showed high perceptions. Following the educational intervention, the proportion of respondents with high perceptions increased to 69.7%, and no respondents remained in the low-perception category. Simple linear regression analysis showed a significant effect of booklet-based education on adolescents’ perceptions regarding depression prevention (p=0.007). Educational booklets effectively improved adolescents’ perceptions regarding depression prevention and may be utilized as an alternative health promotion medium in school settings.

Abstract

Social media has become one of the primary sources of oral health information due to its accessibility and widespread use among young adults, including dental therapy students. Exposure to oral health information through social media may influence attitudes toward oral health maintenance; however, its effectiveness among future oral health professionals remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between exposure to oral health information on social media and attitudes toward oral health maintenance among Dental Therapy students. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 60 Dental Therapy students selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires measuring exposure to oral health information on social media and attitudes toward oral health maintenance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test with a significance level of 5%. Most respondents had a high level of exposure to oral health information on social media (71.7%) and demonstrated good attitudes toward oral health maintenance (76.7%). The Chi-square analysis revealed no statistically significant relationship between exposure to oral health information on social media and attitudes toward oral health maintenance among Dental Therapy students (p=0.067). Exposure to oral health information on social media was not significantly associated with attitudes toward oral health maintenance among Dental Therapy students. The findings suggest that students' attitudes may be influenced more by formal education, academic experiences, and the educational environment than by social media exposure alone. Social media should continue to be utilized as a complementary educational platform by providing evidence-based and credible oral health information.

Therapeutic communication is one of the professional competencies that midwives must possess in providing antenatal care (ANC) services. Effective therapeutic communication can establish a trusting relationship between midwives and pregnant women, improve comfort during healthcare services, and contribute to improving service quality and patient satisfaction. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between midwives' therapeutic communication and the level of satisfaction among pregnant women with antenatal care (ANC) services at Tempe Primary Health Center. This study was an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 33 pregnant women selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a midwives' therapeutic communication questionnaire and a pregnant women's satisfaction questionnaire, then analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test at a significance level of 95% (α = 0.05). The results showed that most respondents assessed the midwives' therapeutic communication as good (22 respondents; 66.7%), while the majority of pregnant women were satisfied with the antenatal care services (25 respondents; 75.8%). The Chi-square test showed a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between midwives' therapeutic communication and the level of satisfaction among pregnant women with antenatal care (ANC) services at Tempe Primary Health Center. It was concluded that midwives' therapeutic communication was associated with the level of satisfaction among pregnant women receiving antenatal care (ANC). Therefore, therapeutic communication should be maintained and improved to enhance the quality of midwifery services.
