Abstract

Introduction: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) is an effort to prevent diseases by implementing healthy habits from an early age. Elementary school children are a vulnerable group to health problems, thus requiring the inculcation of knowledge and behavior related to CHLB. Objectives: This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge of CHLB and healthy living behavior among elementary school students at Public Elementary School 5 Katerban, Baron District. Methods: This study employed a correlational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all students in grades I–VI (62 students) with a total sampling technique. Instruments included a CHLB knowledge questionnaire and a healthy behavior observation sheet. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed that most students had good knowledge (61.3%), while healthy living behavior in the good category was 58.1%. The Chi-Square test yielded p = 0.021 (<0.05), indicating a significant relationship between CHLB knowledge and healthy living behavior. Conclusions: Knowledge of CHLB is associated with healthy living behavior among elementary school students. The role of teachers, parents, and health workers is needed to enhance CHLB education through creative and continuous methods.

Abstract

Introduction: Anemia during pregnancy remains a significant public health concern, particularly in low-resource settings where nutritional deficiencies are common. Iron supplementation is a standard intervention; however, its effectiveness may be enhanced by nutrient-rich foods that improve iron absorption. Papaya is a local fruit high in vitamin C and folate, essential for hemoglobin synthesis. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of papaya juice supplementation alongside iron tablets on the hemoglobin levels of pregnant women. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design was conducted among pregnant women in the Depok Jaya Health Center area. Thirty-six participants were selected using purposive sampling and divided equally into control and intervention groups. The control group received only iron tablets, while the intervention group consumed papaya juice daily in addition to iron tablets for 14 days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention, and data were analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests. Results: The mean hemoglobin level in the intervention group increased substantially after 14 days, while the control group showed a more minor increase. Statistical analysis indicated significant improvements within both groups and a significant difference between the intervention and control groups (p-value <0.05; α<0.05). Conclusions: Papaya juice supplementation enhanced the effectiveness of iron tablets in improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women. As an affordable and locally available food, papaya has the potential to be integrated into maternal nutrition programs to reduce anemia in pregnancy. Further research is recommended to confirm long-term benefits.

Abstract

Introduction: Workplace safety remains a critical issue, and using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to reducing occupational hazards. Employee attitudes are important in shaping safety behaviors and compliance with protective measures. Objectives: This study examined the relationship between employee attitudes and compliance with PPE use among workers in a manufacturing company. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 35 employees selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using two validated questionnaires: one assessing employee attitudes toward PPE use (10 items, Likert scale) and another evaluating PPE compliance (8 items, 0–3 scale). Based on median values, scores were categorized as positive or negative attitudes and compliant or non-compliant behavior. Data were analyzed using frequency distributions and the Chi-Square test. Results: Most participants were male (71.4%) and aged 30–39 (42.8%). 57.1% of respondents reported positive attitudes toward PPE use, while 51.4% demonstrated compliance. Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between employee attitudes and PPE compliance (p = 0.002), with 75% of workers with positive attitudes adhering to PPE protocols compared to 20% with negative attitudes. Conclusions: Positive safety attitudes were strongly linked to higher PPE compliance, emphasizing the need to integrate behavioral and organizational interventions alongside technical measures to promote workplace safety. Although the study provides valuable insights, its cross-sectional design and small sample size limit generalizability. Future studies should adopt longitudinal approaches and include diverse populations to guide targeted safety strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal nutrition during pregnancy is critical in supporting maternal health and fetal development. However, many pregnant women do not adhere to recommended dietary practices, which may increase the risk of complications. Nutrition counseling has been proposed to improve compliance with healthy dietary behaviors. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition counseling on improving dietary compliance among pregnant women. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent pretest–posttest control group was employed. Forty pregnant women in their second and third trimesters were recruited and assigned to two groups: an intervention group receiving structured nutrition counseling and a control group receiving routine antenatal care. Dietary compliance was assessed using a validated questionnaire before and after a four-week intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests for within-group comparisons and independent t-tests for between-group differences. Results: The intervention group showed a significant improvement in dietary compliance scores after counseling (mean increase 0.85, p < 0.005), whereas the control group demonstrated no significant change (mean increase 0.15, p = 0.120). Post-intervention comparisons indicated a significantly higher compliance score in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.001; α<0.05). Conclusions: Nutrition counseling was effective in enhancing dietary compliance among pregnant women. Integrating structured counseling into antenatal care has the potential to foster healthier eating behaviors, reduce pregnancy-related complications, and improve maternal and fetal outcomes. Further research is needed to examine long-term effects and its scalability in different healthcare settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological problem among female adolescents that affects academic performance, daily activities, and quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions such as warm compresses and lavender aromatherapy are considered safe and practical alternatives for pain relief. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of warm compresses and lavender aromatherapy in reducing menstrual pain among female adolescents. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent pretest–posttest control group design was conducted from January to March 2025 at SMK Puspa Bangsa, Banyuwangi. A total of 40 students with a history of dysmenorrhea were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling and divided into two groups: warm compress (n = 20) and lavender aromatherapy (n = 20). Pain intensity was measured before and after the interventions using a validated Numeric Rating Scale. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests for within-group differences and independent t-tests for between-group comparisons. Results: The warm compress group showed a significant reduction in menstrual pain with a greater mean difference than the lavender aromatherapy group. While both interventions were effective, the warm compress group experienced a more pronounced decrease in pain intensity. Independent t-test results confirmed a significant difference in mean pain reduction between the two groups (p-value = 0.000; α<0.05). Conclusions: Warm compresses were more effective than lavender aromatherapy in reducing dysmenorrhea among female adolescents. Warm compresses can be recommended as a simple, safe, and cost-effective non-pharmacological strategy, while lavender aromatherapy may serve as a supportive approach providing relaxation and psychological comfort.

Abstract

Introduction: Body composition, including fat and lean mass, is recognized as a critical factor influencing physical fitness and cardiovascular health. Traditional measures such as body mass index do not distinguish fat from muscle and may misrepresent cardiometabolic risk. Objectives: This review analyzed recent evidence on the relationship between body composition, physical fitness, and cardiovascular risk to inform more accurate approaches to screening and prevention. Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for studies published between January 2020 and December 2025. Eligible studies included original articles, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses on adults. Titles, abstracts, and full texts were screened with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted on study design, population, body composition methods, outcomes, and key findings. Narrative synthesis was performed. Results: Eight studies were included. Large cross-sectional analyses showed strong associations between body composition indicators, visceral fat, fat percentage, and lean mass, with blood pressure, lipid profile, and glucose regulation. Southeast Asian studies highlighted links between higher body fat, reduced physical activity, and increased cardiometabolic risk. Research in Brazil and the United States indicated that inflammatory markers and diet modified the relationship between adiposity and cardiovascular risk. Smaller studies emphasized the protective role of lean mass and physical activity, including technology-based exercise, on fitness and body composition outcomes. Conclusions: Body composition is a more accurate determinant of physical fitness and cardiovascular risk than body mass index. Integrating body composition analysis into clinical and public health practice could improve risk stratification and guide personalized preventive strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Malaria is a parasite illness that continues to pose a global health challenge, largely because of the rise of medication resistance. Researchers are concentrating on discovering novel medicines that specifically target critical parasite proteins to address this issue. The peels of Hylocereus polyrhizus (dragon fruit) contain betalains which exhibit antiplasmodial activity. This research examines the efficacy of six betalaines derived from H. polyrhizus peels in inhibiting specific Plasmodium falciparum proteins through in silico techniques. Methods: The protein structures were acquired from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and processed by eliminating non-protein molecules. The 3D structures of the betalaine ligands were obtained from PubChem and optimized with Avogadro 1.2.0. Using the Pyrx 0.8 system with Autodock Vina, the ligands were docked to the proteins. The research assessed ADMET characteristics of the ligands utilizing the SwissADME and ProTox-II platforms, respectively. Results: The molecular docking data indicate that Phyllocactin had the highest binding affinity of -10.7 kcal/mol to PfPNP. Hylocerenin had the highest binding affinity to PfDHFR-TS at -9.4 kcal/mol. The investigation of amino acid interactions indicated that Hylocerenin engages with essential residues, specifically Lys27 and Lys28, in PfDHFR-TS. Regarding ADMET characteristics, all six betalaines exhibited minimal gastrointestinal absorption and lacked permeability across the blood-brain barrier. Moreover, Hylocerenin was anticipated to be non-immunotoxic, presenting a notable benefit over other substances such as Betacyanin and Phyllocactin, which were forecasted to have immunotoxic effects. Conclusions: Hylocerenin and Phyllocactin are the most promising antiplasmodial possibilities among the examined betalaine compounds. Hylocerenin is a primary candidate for the inhibition of PfDHFR-TS, whereas Phyllocactin is a prominent candidate for the inhibition of PfPNP. The results indicate that betalaine compounds derived from H. polyrhizus peels merit more research as a novel category of antimalarial medicines

Abstract

Background: Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus that can lead to hepatocellular damage. Liver enzyme tests, namely Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) and Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT), are used as important indicators in assessing the degree of liver damage. Objective: This study aimed to describe the levels of SGOT and SGPT in hepatitis B patients at Karsa Husada Hospital, Batu Malang, during the period of January–December 2024. Methods: This research employed a quantitative descriptive method using secondary data from medical records of 39 patients. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate approaches. Results: The results showed that elevated SGOT levels were found in 35 patients (89.7%), while normal levels were observed in 4 patients (10.3%). Elevated SGPT levels were observed in 27 patients (69.2%), while 12 patients (30.8%) had normal levels. Based on sex, elevated SGOT levels were more prevalent in males (23 patients, 95.8%) compared to females (12 patients, 80.0%), while elevated SGPT levels were also dominant in males (20 patients, 83.3%) compared to females (7 patients, 46.7%). Based on age groups, the highest elevated SGOT levels were found in adults (22 patients, 91.7%), followed by adolescents (7 patients, 87.5%) and elderly (6 patients, 85.7%). Correlation test results showed a coefficient value of r = 0.380 with p = 0.017 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings indicate that the majority of hepatitis B patients experienced elevated SGOT and SGPT levels, with predominance among adult males, and there was a significant correlation between the two liver enzymes.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains a major global health challenge, with prevalence increasing both worldwide and in Indonesia, including Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi. Preventive strategies that integrate community engagement and local food systems are urgently needed. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design to explore community experiences, perceptions, and involvement in diversifying scad fish into value-added products as a strategy for DM prevention. Research was conducted in Kendari with 32 participants, including health cadres, women’s groups, small and medium enterprise (SME) fish processors, and community leaders. Data collection methods consisted of in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document review. Thematic analysis was applied using Miles and Huberman’s framework, supported by triangulation and member checking to ensure credibility. Results: Findings revealed that scad fish, though abundant and affordable, was underutilized due to low preference compared to other fish species. Through participatory processes, communities co-developed scad fish floss and crackers, which were widely accepted for their practicality, longer shelf life, and cultural compatibility. Mothers reported replacing sugary snacks with scad-based products, indicating positive dietary shifts, while SMEs and women’s groups gained new livelihood opportunities. Community involvement particularly by health cadres and local leaders was identified as the central factor ensuring acceptance, sustainability, and dissemination of the intervention. Conclusions: The diversification of scad fish into floss and crackers demonstrates a culturally relevant, sustainable, and community-driven approach to DM prevention. Beyond improving nutrition, this intervention also strengthens local economies and promotes social empowerment. The study provides a model for integrating health promotion with local food resources, offering implications for future community-based strategies in resource-rich settings.
