Abstract

Childhood cancer requires long-term treatment that can trigger parental stress. The duration of the child’s cancer is assumed to be related to parents’ stress levels due to adaptation processes and prolonged psychological burden. This study aimed to analyze the association between cancer duration and parental stress. A cross-sectional design was conducted using data from a previous study at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang (August–December 2024). A total of 54 parents were recruited using consecutive sampling. Stress level was measured using the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10). Chi-Square was used for analysis. Results showed that most children had cancer <1 year (72.2%), and most parents experienced moderate stress (68.5%). There was a significant association between the duration of child’s cancer and parental stress with p.value 0.001 (p<0.05). It is concluded that higher stress occurs in parents during the early phase of diagnosis. Early psychosocial support is needed.

Abstract

Background: Nursing informatics competency (NIC), the ability to effectively use digital tools and health information systems, is a critical determinant of care quality and patient safety in modern healthcare. In Ghana, where digital health infrastructure is expanding, disparities in NIC remain poorly understood, especially across demographic groups. Despite policy efforts and curricular revisions by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana, wide variability exists in informatics readiness among nurses. The lack of demographic-specific insights into NIC hinders the design of targeted interventions, potentially compromising care quality and patient safety. Objective: The study investigated demographic disparties in NIC among nurses in Ghana and examined the implications of these disparities for delivering quality nursing care Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 360 registered nurses and midwives from three hospitals in the Secondi-Takoradi Metropolitan. Stratified random sampling was employed, and data were collected using the Nursing Informatics Competency Assessment Scale (NICAS). Independent t-test and ANOVA were performed using SPSS v27. Results: Statistical analyses revealed significant disparities in nursing informatics competencies across multiple demographic variables. Gender differences were significant only in informatics skills (t(175.71) = 2.054, p = .041, d = 0.208), while profession, certification, education, age, and experience showed highly significant effects across all three competency domains (p < .001), with large effect sizes for profession (e.g., informatics knowledge d = –0.89) and experience (e.g., informatics knowledge η² = 0.171). Nurses with more advanced education, longer experience, and certification consistently demonstrated higher competencies, whereas workplace location showed minimal impact, with only informatics knowledge showing a statistically significant but small difference (F(2, 357) = 3.052, p = .048, η² =0.017). Conclusion: The study recommends incorporating experiential learning into NIC training. The government must realign national informatics training policy toward a modular, skill-based approach rather than age-based assumptions. Again, performance-based assessments in NIC evaluation to enhance real-world competency and patient safety outcomes must be embedded

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains and the limited availability of novel antitubercular agents. Natural products have gained increasing attention as potential sources of antimycobacterial compounds. Flemingia strobilifera is known to contain diverse bioactive metabolites that may exhibit inhibitory activity against mycobacterial targets. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antimycobacterial potential of Otok-otok (Flemingia strobilifera) leaf extract through integrated in silico and in vitro approaches. Methods: Five dominant metabolites of F. strobilifera, namely Octylimino dipropan-2-ol, 3,12-diketo-4,6-petromyzonene-24-sulfate, Kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, Adenosine, and Flavonol 3-O-D-xylosylglucoside, were subjected to molecular docking against InhA (enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase), a key enzyme involved in mycolic acid biosynthesis. Docking simulations were performed using AutoDock4 following validation through native ligand redocking. In vitro antimycobacterial activity was evaluated against Mycobacterium smegmatis using aqueous, ethanolic, and methanolic leaf extracts at concentrations ranging from 6.25 to 200 mg/mL, with activity assessed by measuring inhibition zone diameters. Results: Molecular docking revealed that 3,12-diketo-4,6-petromyzonene-24-sulfate exhibited the strongest binding affinity toward InhA with a binding energy of –8.90 kcal/mol, followed by Flavonol 3-O-D-xylosylglucoside (–8.05 kcal/mol). The latter also formed multiple hydrogen bonds with key active-site residues, including Tyr158, Lys165, and Met199. In vitro evaluation demonstrated concentration-dependent antimycobacterial activity for all extracts. Methanolic extract showed the highest activity, producing inhibition zones ranging from 8.14 ± 0.42 mm to 23.08 ± 0.88 mm, followed by ethanolic extract (7.36 ± 0.38–20.54 ± 0.77 mm) and aqueous extract (5.24 ± 0.31–14.28 ± 0.74 mm). No inhibition was observed in the negative control, while streptomycin sulfate exhibited the highest inhibitory effect. Conclusion: The findings indicate that Flemingia strobilifera possesses promising antimycobacterial potential. The strong affinity of selected metabolites toward InhA and the concentration-dependent inhibitory activity of leaf extracts against M. smegmatis suggest that this plant may serve as a potential source of antitubercular candidates. Further in vivo studies and mechanistic investigations are required to validate its therapeutic potential.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the leading non-communicable diseases and a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 1.28 billion adults aged 30–79 years are living with hypertension, with nearly half remaining undiagnosed. Uncontrolled hypertension substantially increases the risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. In addition to its health consequences, hypertension also reduces work productivity and increases healthcare expenditures. Traditional market workers represent a vulnerable occupational group because they are frequently exposed to unhealthy lifestyles, including excessive salt intake, inadequate physical activity, prolonged working hours, smoking, and work-related stress. These risk factors are often accompanied by limited access to health information and preventive healthcare services, resulting in poor awareness and inadequate hypertension prevention practices. Health education has been recognized as an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve health literacy, promote healthy behaviors, and encourage self-management of hypertension. Educational interventions based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) are particularly effective because they enhance individuals' perceptions of susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy toward preventive behaviors. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of HBM-based health education among traditional market workers remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of a health education intervention on hypertension-related knowledge, attitudes, and self-prevention practices among workers at Kampung Lalang Traditional Market, Medan, Indonesia. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a Health Belief Model (HBM)-based health education intervention on hypertension-related knowledge, attitudes, and self-prevention practices among workers at Kampung Lalang Traditional Market, Medan, Indonesia. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent control group pretest–posttest design was conducted between February and March 2026 at Kampung Lalang Traditional Market, Medan, Indonesia. The study involved 46 market workers selected using purposive sampling and equally assigned to an intervention group (n = 23) and a control group (n = 23). Results: The health education intervention significantly improved participants' knowledge, attitudes, and self-prevention practices related to hypertension. Post-intervention analysis demonstrated significantly higher knowledge scores in the intervention group than in the control group (p < 0.001). Attitude scores also showed a significant improvement following the intervention (p = 0.036). Furthermore, participants who received the comprehensive health education program demonstrated significantly better hypertension self-prevention practices compared with those receiving leaflets alone (p = 0.001). These findings indicate that HBM-based health education effectively promotes cognitive, affective, and behavioral changes among traditional market workers. Conclusion: Health education based on the Health Belief Model significantly improved hypertension-related knowledge, attitudes, and self-prevention practices among traditional market workers. Comprehensive educational interventions combining lectures, printed educational materials, and continuous reinforcement through social media were more effective than the provision of leaflets alone. Implementing similar health education programs in traditional market settings may contribute to hypertension prevention and support the reduction of non-communicable disease risk among informal workers.

Abstract

Background: Patient satisfaction is one of the key indicators of healthcare quality. An increase in the bed occupancy rate (BOR), which has led to the turning away of emergency room patients at the Arosbaya Community Health Center in Bangkalan Regency, has resulted in a decline in patient satisfaction with the center’s services. The purpose of this study is to analyze the improvement in service satisfaction following the implementation of the “Sascia Gotik” innovation. Methods: The type of research used is Research and Development. The approach used in this study is the ADDIE Model: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. This is a systematic instructional design framework consisting of five stages—Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate—for developing high-quality learning and training products. Results: The results of the statistical analysis also showed a significant difference in patient satisfaction levels before and after the implementation of SASCIA GOTIK. The data indicate an increase in patient satisfaction, with some patients moving from “fairly satisfied” to “satisfied” and others from “satisfied” to “very satisfied” with the services at the Arobaya Community Health Center. Conclusion: The SASCIA GOTIK innovation is an effective service strategy for improving patient and community satisfaction within the Arosbaya Community Health Center’s service area. The success of this innovation is demonstrated by a statistically significant increase in satisfaction scores. An effective referral system enhances service efficiency, ensuring continuity and overall quality.

Abstract

Background: Banyuwangi Regency is rich in agricultural resources, including red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) and Barlin banana (Musa balbisiana Colla cv. Barlin), which have promising potential as renewable biomaterial sources. However, comprehensive metabolomic information on these local commodities remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical characteristics and metabolite profiles of red dragon fruit and Barlin banana pseudostem using qualitative phytochemical screening and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS). Methods: Both plant materials were taxonomically authenticated before extraction. Qualitative phytochemical screening was performed to detect flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, and saponins. Metabolite profiling was conducted using UHPLC-HRMS, and compound annotation was performed using the mzCloud™ and ChemSpider™ databases with a mass tolerance of ±5 ppm. Results: Phytochemical screening showed that the red dragon fruit extract contained flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins, whereas the Barlin banana pseudostem extract contained only saponins. UHPLC-HRMS detected 185 and 220 chromatographic peaks in the red dragon fruit and Barlin banana pseudostem extracts, respectively. Metabolite classification identified 100 metabolites in the red dragon fruit extract and 117 metabolites in the Barlin banana pseudostem extract, predominantly comprising amino acids and derivatives, organic acids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids, fatty acids, terpenoids, nucleosides, vitamins, and other metabolites. Conclusion: The integration of qualitative phytochemical screening and UHPLC-HRMS provided comprehensive metabolite characterization of two important Banyuwangi agricultural resources. The generated metabolomic dataset provides a valuable scientific basis for the future development of sustainable biomaterials and other biomedical applications.

Abstract

Introduction: Perceived stress among residents of long-term care institutions may be influenced by demographic, health-related, and institutional characteristics. However, evidence regarding factors associated with perceived stress among institutionalized older adults in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to determine perceived stress levels and examine their associations with participant characteristics among residents aged 60 years and older at Dewanata Cilacap Elderly Social Service Home. Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study included 47 residents aged 60–90 years. Participants were recruited through complete enumeration of eligible residents. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Indonesian version of the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Items 4, 5, 7, and 8 were reverse-scored before calculating the total score. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 26. Categorical variables were summarized using frequencies and percentages, while numerical PSS-10 scores were summarized using measures of central tendency and dispersion. Associations between perceived stress categories and participant characteristics were examined using Fisher’s exact test or the Fisher–Freeman–Halton exact test. Pearson’s correlation was used to examine the relationship between age and total PSS-10 score. Results: The mean participant age was 71.15 ± 7.20 years. The mean PSS-10 score was 11.91 ± 5.34, with a median of 12, an interquartile range of 8.5–16.5, and a score range of 0–22. Thirty-three participants (70.2%) had low perceived stress, 14 (29.8%) had moderate perceived stress, and none had high perceived stress. The PSS-10 demonstrated a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.628. No statistically significant associations were found between perceived stress category and sex, age group, educational level, chronic disease history, marital status, length of institutional stay, or reason for institutional residence (all p > 0.05). Age was also not significantly correlated with total PSS-10 score (r = −0.023; p = 0.879). Discussion: Most residents had low perceived stress, and perceived stress was not significantly associated with the demographic, health-related, or institutional characteristics examined. Psychological and social factors not assessed in this study, including loneliness, social support, coping ability, autonomy, and adjustment to institutional living, may better explain variations in perceived stress. The findings should be interpreted cautiously because of the small sample, single-institution setting, and cross-sectional design.

Abstract

Background: The first two years of life represent a critical period for child growth and development, during which adequate nutrition is essential for optimal growth and health. Maternal nutritional knowledge may influence feeding practices and contribute to children's nutritional status and developmental outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between maternal nutritional knowledge and the nutritional status and development of children aged 6–23 months. Methods: A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at the Tuminting Community Health Center in Manado City. A total of 120 mothers with healthy children aged 6-23 months were selected as respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a nutritional knowledge questionnaire, standardized anthropometric measurements, and an age-specific developmental screening instrument. Data analysis was performed using chi-square. Results: The findings indicated that the majority of mothers possessed a high level of nutritional knowledge (77.5%). Most children exhibited normal nutritional status across the weight-for-age (80.8%), length-for-age (70.0%), and weight-for-length (75.8%) indicators, with the majority also showing age-appropriate development (87.5%). A statistically significant relationship was identified between maternal nutritional knowledge and the length-for-age indicator (p = 0.013). However, no significant relationships were observed between maternal knowledge and weight-for-age (p = 0.785), weight-for-length (p = 0.364), or child development (p = 0.190). Conclusion: Maternal nutritional knowledge was significantly associated with length-for-age, but not with weight-for-age, weight-for-length, or child development. These findings suggest that maternal nutritional knowledge may contribute to long-term linear growth, while child development is influenced by multiple factors beyond nutritional knowledge alone. Keywords: Maternal nutritional knowledge; nutritional status; child development

Abstract

Background: Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder among workers, especially those who perform static and repetitive tasks for prolonged periods. Long working duration is suspected to influence the occurrence of shoulder pain. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between working duration and the occurrence of shoulder pain among female workers in a cigarette factory. Methods: This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design. A total of 100 female workers were selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a respondent characteristic questionnaire and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) to assess the occurrence of shoulder pain. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed that most respondents had long working durations and experienced shoulder pain. However, statistical analysis indicated that working duration was not significantly associated with the occurrence of shoulder pain among female cigarette factory workers (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Working duration is not significantly associated with the occurrence of shoulder pain among female cigarette factory workers. Although the results were not significant, these findings provide important information for preventive strategies, such as optimizing work duration and providing adequate rest periods to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in industrial workers.
