<![CDATA[Diarrhea is one of the main causes of pain and death in toddlers, especially due to complications such as dehydration. Prompt and appropriate initial treatment is necessary to prevent more serious impacts. The role of mothers as the main caregiver is very important in determining the actions taken when toddlers experience diarrhea. One of the factors that affect these actions is the mother's level of knowledge. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of mothers and the initial treatment of diarrhea in toddlers in the work area of the North City Health Center. This study uses an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 34 samples were taken using the total sampling technique. The research instruments are in the form of a Questionnaire on the Level of Knowledge of Mothers and a Questionnaire on Early Treatment of Diarrhea in Toddlers which have been tested for validity and reliability. The results showed that the level of knowledge of mothers was in the sufficient category as many as 15 respondents (44.1%) and the initial treatment of diarrhea was in the good category as many as 29 respondents (85.3%). The results of the Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between the mother's level of knowledge and the initial treatment of diarrhea in toddlers (p < 0.05). This study shows that the better the mother's level of knowledge, the more appropriate the action taken. Meanwhile, there are still a small number of mothers with less knowledge and less action, so continuous education improvement is needed.]]>

<![CDATA[Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women, which is mostly caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The HPV vaccine is one of the effective prevention efforts, but maternal awareness in giving vaccines to children is still a challenge. This study aims to analyze the relationship between access to information, the role of health workers, and family support with maternal awareness of HPV vaccine administration to girls aged 9-14 years in the working area of the South City Health Center. This study uses an observational analytical method with a cross sectional approach. The research population was 166 mothers with a sample of 117 respondents obtained using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed univariate and bivariate using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most of the respondents had good awareness (75.2%). Respondents' access to information was mostly in the poor category (65.8%), while the role of health workers (66.7%) and family support (56.4%) was in the good category. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between access to information (p = 0.000), the role of health workers (p = 0.000), and family support (p = 0.000) and maternal awareness of HPV vaccine administration. The conclusion of this study shows that access to information, the role of health workers, and family support are significantly related to maternal awareness of HPV vaccine administration.]]>

<![CDATA[This study uses a quantitative approach with a panel data regression analysis method. The data used are secondary data from 38 provinces in Indonesia during the 2015–2024 period (380 observations), which are sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The selection of the best model is carried out through the Chow Test, Hausman Test, and Lagrange Multiplier Test, which results in the Random Effect Model (REM) as the most appropriate model to use. Based on the results of the study, it shows that simultaneously, all variables of educational performance have a significant effect on poverty in Indonesia with an adjusted R² value of 88.58%. Partially, the Literacy Rate (AMH) has a negative and significant effect on poverty, where every 1% increase in AMH will reduce the poverty rate by 3.37% School Participation Rate (APS) also has a negative and significant effect, where every 1% increase in APS will reduce poverty by 0.28%. Meanwhile, the Average School Length (RLS) shows a negative but not significant effect on poverty, indicating that the quantity of education alone is not enough without being balanced with improving the quality and relevance of education to the needs of the labor market.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Early mobilization is an important nursing intervention that plays a role in accelerating the patient's postoperative recovery. Lack of physical activity after surgery can increase the risk of complications, such as impaired circulation, decreased gastrointestinal function, as well as delayed wound healing. Therefore, early mobilization is an integral part of nursing care to maintain physiological function, improve comfort, and support the patient's rehabilitation process. This study aims to analyze the effect of early mobilization on postoperative patient recovery. Methods: The research method used was quantitative design with an observational analytical approach and using a cross sectional research design. A sample of 30 respondents was selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through an early mobilization observation sheet. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test to identify the effect of early mobilization on the patient's postoperative recovery. Results: The results of the study showed the effect of early mobilization on the recovery of postoperative patients with a significance value of p < 0.05. Patients who received early mobilization showed improvement in clinical conditions compared to before the intervention. Discussion: Early mobilization contributes to improving blood circulation, improving organ function, and preventing postoperative complications. Gradual physical activity helps speed up healing and increase patient independence. These findings confirm the importance of the role of nurses in encouraging early mobilization as an effective strategy to improve patient clinical outcomes.]]>
