Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension negatively impacts the quality of life of its sufferers. A healthy lifestyle is essential for managing hypertension. This study aims to analyze the relationship between adherence to a healthy lifestyle and quality of life in people with hypertension. Methods: This quantitative study involved 80 randomly selected hypertensive patients. The study variables encompassed compliance with healthy lifestyle practices and the overall quality of life, measured using a valid and reliable healthy lifestyle adherence questionnaire and the WHOQOL-BREF. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Gamma test. Results: The study found that 41.25% were non-adherent to a healthy lifestyle, and 41.25% also had a poor quality of life. The findings of the study demonstrated a strong association between commitment to a healthy lifestyle and quality of life among individuals with hypertension, supported by a p-value of 0.000 and a correlation coefficient (r) = 0.859. Conclusions: Hypertensive individuals who maintain healthy lifestyle practices typically demonstrate better quality of life. This suggests that it is essential for people with hypertension to be motivated to live healthily by increasing physical activity, following a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco use.

Abstract

Stress is a psychological response that arises when an individual faces certain pressures or demands. One common form of stress experienced by university students is academic stress, particularly among final-year students who are completing their thesis as a graduation requirement. High academic demands often become a major source of stress that affects both physical and mental health, including sleep disturbances. This study aims to determine the relationship between stress levels and sleep quality among final-year Bachelor of Nursing students at ITSK RS dr. Soepraoen Malang. This research employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was conducted using a total sampling technique, resulting in 159 participants. Data were collected using the DASS-42 questionnaire to measure stress levels and the PSQI to assess sleep quality. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test (p < 0.05). The results showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a significant relationship between stress levels and sleep quality. Higher levels of stress were associated with poorer sleep quality. Therefore, it is recommended that the university provide mentoring or counseling programs to help students manage academic stress, especially for final-year students. Students are also encouraged to enhance positive coping strategies and manage their study time more effectively.

Abstract

Introduction: Prescription screening remains a problem, both at the administrative, pharmaceutical, and clinical levels. Prescription screening is one aspect that can prevent medication errors. Medication errors can occur due to unclear or missing information regarding the route of administration, dosage, frequency of administration, dosage form, patient identity, and prescriber identity. Methods: The research was a descriptive, non-experimental study with retrospective data at Pharmacies X and Y. The number of samples was determined by calculating the number of prescription populations received and taken randomly. 240 prescription sheets were used from Pharmacy X and 94 sheets at Pharmacy Y. The prescription sheets were subjected to administrative and pharmaceutical screening and analyzed. Results: The completeness of prescriptions administratively for Pharmacy X was 60.67% and Pharmacy Y was 69.04%. Administrative screening that was often incomplete was the completeness of prescriptions related to body weight, only 2.08% for Pharmacy X and 0% for Pharmacy Y. The physician's initials or signature also had a completeness of prescriptions of 11.67% for Pharmacy X and 25.53% for Pharmacy Y. Pharmaceutical screening in general was 81.82% for Pharmacy X and 93.44% for Pharmacy Y. Incomplete pharmaceutical screening in both pharmacies was drug strength, namely 50.83% at Pharmacy X and 31.91% at Pharmacy Y. At Pharmacy X, incomplete prescriptions were also found in the writing of dosage forms of 52.03%. Conclusions: The administrative and pharmaceutical completeness of prescriptions from both pharmacies still does not meet the standards of pharmaceutical services in pharmacies.

Abstract

Introduction: Poor sleep among young people, particularly adolescents, is becoming increasingly common and has adverse effects on mental health, such as stress, anxiety, and depression. This study was conducted to examine how sleep quality relates to the mental health of junior high school students. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with total sampling of seventh-grade students at Junior High School PGRI 01 Wagir, Malang Regency. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure sleep quality, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was used to measure mental health. The data obtained were then analysed using Spearman's rank correlation method. Results: A total of 120 respondents participated in this study. This study found that 84 respondents (69.4%) had moderate sleep quality, 31 (25.6%) had good sleep quality, and 5 (4.1%) had poor sleep quality. Regarding mental health status, more than half, 62 respondents (51.7%) were classified normal, 51 respondents (42.5%) were in the moderate category, and only 7 (5.8%) fell into the severe category. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between sleep quality and mental health in adolescents, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.647 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Sleep quality has a significant impact on mental health among junior high school students. Therefore, nurses should design interventions targeting sleep improvement, which should be included in mental health promotion and prevention programs carried out in schools.

Abstract

Introduction: Fever is a normal response of the body to infection or a form of resistance in the body in adjusting antibodies due to immunization. Fever can be a sign of the onset of infection, but fever can also be caused by metabolic disorders and other causes. Red onion (Allium cepa varietas ascalonicum) can be used as a fever reducer for infants and toddlers with fever. The content of organic sulfur compounds, or Allylcysteine Sulfoxide (Alliin). Many parents are still unaware of the benefits of red onions for reducing fever in children. Therefore, the researchers aimed to determine the effect of providing e-leaflet education on the administration of red onions on increasing mothers' knowledge about reducing fever after DPT immunization. Methods: The method used was a pre-experiment, one group pre-test post-test. The sample size was 30 respondents. The results of the study showed that the respondents' knowledge before receiving education through the e-leaflet on the use of shallots was still lacking at 63.4%. Results: Respondents' knowledge after receiving e-leaflet education on the use of shallots was 90%. There was an effect of e-leaflet education on the use of shallots on increasing mothers' knowledge about reducing fever after DPT immunization, with a Sig value of 0.000.) Conclusions: There is an effect of e-leaflet education on giving red onions to increase mothers' knowledge about reducing fever after DPT immunization.

Abstract

Introduction: Polymorphisms in the CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 genes play a significant role in the response to tacrolimus therapy in kidney transplant patients. Tacrolimus, a commonly used immunosuppressant, has a narrow therapeutic index and is highly influenced by individual genetic variation. These genetic polymorphisms significantly affect the response to tacrolimus therapy in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Inaccurate dosing can lead to serious consequences: a tacrolimus dose that is too low increases the risk of acute rejection, while a dose that is too high can cause nephrotoxicity and other serious side effects. Therefore, accurate initial dosing of tacrolimus is critical in the clinical practice of kidney transplantation.. Methods: The article search was conducted using the CrossRef database, which provided access to various scientific journals. The focus was on research published in the last five years, ensuring that only studies exploring polymorphisms related to the CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 genes in the context of tacrolimus were used. Results: Previous analysis revealed that CYP3A5 polymorphisms were the most consistent genetic factors influencing tacrolimus metabolism; expressors with the *1/*1 and *1/*3 genotypes required higher doses to reach target levels, while non-expressors with the *3/*3 genotypes experienced a greater risk of toxicity with elevated trough levels, although contributions from CYP3A4 and ABCB1 varied based on ethnicity and transplantation stage. Conclusions: From the results of this review, it can be concluded that CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms are the primary predictors of tacrolimus dose requirements. Recommendations for implementing CYP3A5 genotyping before transplantation may enhance the efficacy of immunosuppression and reduce the risk of toxicity. Further research is necessary to develop more adaptive, pharmacogenetic-based dosing models and to evaluate the clinical factors influencing tacrolimus pharmacokinetics.

Abstract

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding remains a global health priority, yet its practice is often suboptimal, particularly in developing countries. Despite widespread awareness campaigns, many mothers discontinue exclusive breastfeeding before six months, leading to increased risks of infant morbidity and mortality. Maternity nurses play a vital role in bridging the gap by providing education, counseling, and support from the antenatal to the postpartum period. This study aimed to analyze the effect of breastfeeding counseling on exclusive breastfeeding practices among postpartum mothers. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pre–post design was conducted in the working area of Jatisawit Community Health Center, Jatibarang District. A total of 70 postpartum mothers (35 in the intervention group and 35 in the control group) were recruited through purposive sampling. The intervention group received structured breastfeeding counseling, while the control group received routine maternal care. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and observation checklist, then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Ethical approval was obtained from the relevant ethics committee. Results: The findings revealed significant differences between the two groups. Mothers in the intervention group demonstrated higher adherence to exclusive breastfeeding practices compared to the control group. Counseling improved mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and confidence, which translated into consistent exclusive breastfeeding behavior. Discussion and Suggestion: This study supports the evidence that breastfeeding counseling is an effective nursing intervention to promote exclusive breastfeeding. It highlights the essential role of maternity nurses as educators and supporters. Strengthening structured, continuous, and community-based counseling is recommended to improve breastfeeding practices. Future research should explore long-term outcomes and incorporate socio-cultural determinants to design more contextually relevant interventions.
