Abstract

Introduction: Based on data from the Banten Provincial Office, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Banten Province in 2017 was 75.7%, which did not meet the target set in 2016 in Banten Province (77%). The suboptimal rate of exclusive breastfeeding may be due to the low amount of breast milk produced by mothers. This study was conducted to determine the benefits of chemical galactagogues and herbs in increasing breast milk production in the Pontang Community Health Center working area. The population in this study consisted of 32 breastfeeding mothers with children aged 0-6 months in the Pontang Community Health Center working area, comprising 16 chemical and 16 herbal mothers. This study will be conducted in May-June 2024 at the Pontang Community Health Center. Methods: The research method used is a quasi-experiment with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was carried out using breast milk pumps and breast milk bags. The data were then analyzed using univariate and bivariate (influence analysis) methods. Results: The results showed a significant p-value of 0.000 between galactagogues and increased breast milk production in the chemical intervention group compared to the herbal intervention group. Conclusions: The paired sample T-test showed a difference in mean values between the chemical intervention group and the herbal intervention group of 12.18, which means that the average breast milk production in the herbal group was much greater than the average breast milk production in the chemical group. It is hoped that health workers can provide information and disseminate or provide counseling when conducting practical visits about the benefits of galactagogues to the community, especially breastfeeding mothers.

Abstract

Introduction: Among older adults, hypertension represents a significant public health concern that is often linked to excess body weight. Obesity, a modifiable risk factor, is known to elevate blood pressure and contribute to related complications in later years. This makes it a critical measure for assessment within elderly communities. Methods: Employing a quantitative, descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional method, this research was carried out at an Elderly Integrated Health Post in Susukan Rejo Village, Pasuruan. A total of 70 pre-elderly and elderly participants were included via total sampling. Obesity was evaluated using body mass index and waist circumference, and blood pressure was measured following standard protocols. Data were examined through univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test to explore the relationship between obesity and hypertension. Results: The study revealed a high prevalence of obesity according to both body mass index and waist circumference. A majority of respondents were diagnosed with hypertension, most commonly at stage 1. Bivariate analysis indicated a statistically significant association between obesity and hypertension, with greater obesity linked to more advanced stages of hypertension. Conclusions: Obesity was found to be a strong predictor of hypertension in the studied elderly population. These findings highlight that weight management through lifestyle changes, consistent health monitoring, and community-led programs could be vital for lowering hypertension risk and enhancing health outcomes among older adults.

Abstract

Hospitals face increasing pressure to provide timely and high-quality care amid rising patient demand, limited resources, and complex service pathways. Inefficient patient flow between emergency and inpatient services often results in prolonged waiting times, suboptimal bed utilization, and reduced patient satisfaction. Lean management has been applied in healthcare to improve operational performance through the elimination of non-value-added activities. This study evaluated the impact of lean management implementation on operational efficiency in the emergency department to inpatient care pathway at Royal Prima Hospital, Medan. A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design was conducted. Lean management interventions were implemented across the emergency department to inpatient admission process, including waste identification, workplace organization, value stream mapping, and continuous improvement activities. Data were obtained from hospital operational records and structured questionnaires administered to healthcare personnel. Operational efficiency indicators included patient waiting time, bed occupancy rate, average length of stay, turnover interval, bed turnover, and patient satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired statistical tests, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression at a 95 percent confidence level. Lean management implementation significantly improved operational efficiency. Total waiting time from emergency department admission to inpatient transfer decreased from 135 minutes to 74 minutes, representing a 45 percent reduction. Bed occupancy rate increased from 78 percent to 82%, average length of stay decreased from 4.8 days to 4.1 days, turnover interval declined from 1.9 days to 1.3 days, and bed turnover increased from 42 to 48 cycles. Patient satisfaction increased from 72 percent to 86 percent. Pre-test and post-test analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in operational efficiency (p < 0.05). Lean management significantly enhanced patient flow, bed utilization, and patient satisfaction without additional resource investment. These findings support lean management as a sustainable strategy for improving hospital operational efficiency in high-demand clinical settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Frailty is a geriatric condition characterized by a progressive decline in physiological reserves and functional capacity, particularly mobility. Nutritional status and anthropometric indicators play a crucial role in maintaining mobility among older adults; however, integrated evidence focusing on community-dwelling older adults at risk of frailty remains limited. This study aimed to examine the association between nutritional status, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and mobility function among community-dwelling older adults at risk of frailty. Methods: An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 176 older adults aged ≥60 years who were identified as being at risk of frailty and recruited using consecutive sampling. Nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment–Short Form (MNA-SF), MUAC was measured as an anthropometric indicator, and mobility function was evaluated using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals. Results: More than half of the participants were classified as at risk of chronic energy deficiency based on MUAC (56.25%), and 52.83% were categorized as malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. Impaired mobility was observed in 69.80% of participants. Significant associations were identified between nutritional status and mobility function (p < 0.001) as well as between MUAC and mobility function (p < 0.001), with very strong associations. Conclusions Early nutritional and anthropometric screening is essential to prevent functional decline and frailty progression among community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract

Introduction: Breast milk is the optimal source of nutrition for infants; however, many postpartum mothers experience inadequate breast milk flow during the early postpartum period. One non-pharmacological intervention that may support lactation is the application of warm breast compresses, which can stimulate milk ejection and improve blood circulation. This study aimed to examine the effect of warm breast compresses on breast milk flow in postpartum mothers at Lala Medicare Clinic. Methods: This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. A total of 30 postpartum mothers were selected using total sampling. Breast milk flow was assessed before and after the intervention. Warm breast compresses were applied at a temperature of 40–45°C for 15–20 minutes according to standard procedures. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: The proportion of mothers with adequate breast milk flow increased from 26.7% before the intervention to 66.7% after the intervention, while those with inadequate flow decreased from 33.3% to 6.6%. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in breast milk flow before and after the intervention (p = 0.001). Conclusions: There is an effect of warm compress application on breast milk flow in postpartum mothers.

Abstract

Introduction: Scabies is a contagious skin condition and a persistent public health issue in many tropical regions, including Indonesia. Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors play a central role in preventing transmission, particularly in communities with limited sanitation. Objectives: This study aimed to identify community patterns of knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors associated with scabies occurrence in the Wolofeo region. Methods: This descriptive quantitative study included 70 respondents selected through purposive sampling from individuals who had previously received outpatient treatment for scabies at the Wolofeo Health Center. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire that had undergone content validation and reliability testing. Validity was supported by a CVI of 0.87, and reliability was confirmed through a pilot test yielding a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.82. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage distributions. Results: Most respondents demonstrated good knowledge of hygiene and scabies prevention. Attitudes toward Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors were overwhelmingly positive, with nearly all participants expressing favorable views. All respondents reported good hygiene practices, indicating strong behavioral adoption of preventive measures. Demographic characteristics, particularly adulthood and senior high school education levels, were associated with higher readiness to implement preventive behaviors. Conclusions: The community showed strong preparedness for scabies prevention through good knowledge, positive attitudes, and consistent hygiene practices. However, a small subset exhibited limited understanding and less favorable attitudes, highlighting the need for sustained health education. Future research should incorporate observational methods to validate self-reported practices and better inform targeted prevention strategies.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive disease that requires patients to undergo long-term hemodialysis. This process places various physical and psychological demands on patients, requiring them to consistently manage their self-care. Self-efficacy is a crucial factor that influences patients’ confidence in undergoing therapy, while family support plays a significant role in helping patients maintain motivation and compliance during treatment. However, patients' self-efficacy may be impacted by the varying degrees of family support they receive. Purpose: Understanding the connection between self-efficacy and family support in hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD). Methods: Her research employed a cross-sectional methodology and a correlational quantitative design. Using basic random sampling, 102 patients made up the sample. Family support and self-efficacy questionnaires were used to gather data, and the Spearman Rank test was used for analysis with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Most respondents showed great self-efficacy (91.2%) and strong familial support (91.2%). Family support and self-efficacy were strongly and significantly correlated (r = 0.612; p = 0.000). Conclusion: The degree of self-efficacy of CKD patients receiving hemodialysis is strongly correlated with family support. Optimal Family Support can increase patients’ confidence and ability to manage their care.
