Abstract

Background: Childhood cancer is a traumatic experience that significantly affects parents' lives, particularly during the early diagnosis phase, when parents must adapt to complex medical information, invasive procedures, and profound uncertainty within a short period of time. Studies exploring parents' experiences during this critical phase, particularly within the cultural context of North Sulawesi, remain very limited. Objective: This study aimed to explore parents' experiences in caring for children with cancer during the early diagnosis phase in North Sulawesi. Methods: This study used a qualitative descriptive design. Twelve mothers of children diagnosed with cancer were recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using content analysis. Results: Three main themes emerged from the data: (1) Health Service Navigation, describing mothers' health-seeking behaviors, including the use of alternative therapies, utilization of health services, and circular treatment-seeking patterns; (2) Dynamics of Psychological Response, encompassing feelings of helplessness, negative emotions, self-blame, and anticipation of the possible diagnosis; and (3) Challenges, including difficulty understanding medical information, caregiving burden, and social stigma. Conclusion: The early diagnosis phase represents a psychologically demanding period for mothers of children with cancer, marked by uncertainty, emotional distress, and multidimensional caregiving burdens. These findings highlight the urgent need for early psychosocial support, health education, and culturally sensitive interventions from healthcare professionals to assist parents from the point of diagnosis onward, particularly in the North Sulawesi context.

Abstract

Background: Iron-deficiency anemia is one of the health issues commonly experienced by adolescent girls, which can affect academic concentration, physical endurance, and quality of life. Natural ingredients such as moringa leaves and honey contain iron and other supportive nutrients that have the potential to be used as non-pharmacological alternatives to increase hemoglobin levels. Objective: This study aims. to investigate the impact of administering a combination of moringa leaf pudding and honey on the hemoglobin. levels of adolescent girls. Methods: This research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design and a non-equivalent control group strategy. A total of 60 female students in grade eleven participated, split into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group was given moringa leaf and honey pudding once per day over a period of seven days. Hemoglobin levels were assessed before and after the intervention using a digital hemoglobin meter. The data .were evaluated using the Wilcoxon and. Mann-Whitney statistical tests. Results: The average hemoglobin level in the intervention group rose from 10.19 g/dL to 13.57 g/dL, which was statistically significant (p < 0.05). In contrast, the control group showed no significant change, with levels remaining virtually the same at 11.68 g/dL to 11.67 g/dL (p > 0.05). The Mann-Whitney. test indicated a significant difference .between the two groups (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The combination of moringa leaf pudding and honey significantly increased. hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. This intervention has the potential to become an alternative strategy for preventing anemia among adolescents.

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

Introduction: ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) is one of the manifestations of cardiovascular disease that is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Physical activity is known as one of the modifiable risk factors in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. This study aims to determine the relationship between physical activity level and the prevalence of ACS. Methods: This study uses an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The number of respondents was 39 people, consisting of 23 respondents with an ACS diagnosis and 16 non-ACS respondents. Physical activity levels were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form (IPAQ-SF) questionnaire and ACS status was determined based on medical diagnoses listed in medical records. Results: The results of the Lambda analysis showed a symmetrical Lambda value of 0.175 with p = 0.279 (p > 0.05). In the analysis with the prevalence of ACS as a dependent variable, a Lambda value of 0.188 with p = 0.435 (p > 0.05) was obtained. Conclusions: There was no significant association between physical activity level and the prevalence of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Physical activity is not the dominant factor in determining the prevalence of ACS in the respondents of this study, considering that ACS is a multifactorial disease that is influenced by various other risk factors.

Abstract

Introduction: Early marriage is prevalent in various regions of Indonesia and is a health, social, and educational issue that requires attention. Teenagers who marry at an early age are at risk of reproductive health problems, impaired child development, dropping out of school, and limited future economic opportunities. Furthermore, the decision to marry off a child is often influenced by parental knowledge, attitudes toward early marriage, and subjective norms prevailing within the family and community. Therefore, research on early marriage is needed to identify factors influencing parental intentions to prevent the practice, thus providing a basis for designing more targeted interventions and prevention programs. Objectives: This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes and subjective norms with parental intentions in preventing early marriage in Genting Juar Village, Semidang Alas Maras District, Seluma Regency. Methods: This research is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was all parents with teenage daughters in Ganting Juar Village, Semidang Alas Maras District, Seluma Regency. The sampling technique used total sampling, totaling 100 respondents. Univariate and bivariate data analysis used the Chi-Square test and Logistic Regression test. Results: The results of the study showed that the calculated F value was 15.322 with a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05). This indicates that the independent variables simultaneously have a significant effect on the dependent variable. Conclusions: There is a relationship between knowledge, attitudes and subjective norms with parents' intentions to prevent early marriage

Abstract

Introduction: The cause of cervical cancer is HPV, the transmission of which stems from poor personal hygiene, particularly inadequate vulvar hygiene. One factor that can influence adolescents to practise self-care, particularly vulvar hygiene, is knowledge and behaviour. A lack of accurate knowledge and information among adolescents regarding reproductive health can lead to a lack of responsibility for their own reproductive health. They feel embarrassed and consider this a taboo subject to discuss; therefore, peer education is effective in influencing behavioural change, encompassing knowledge, attitudes, and skills among adolescents. The aim of this study is to analyse the influence of “Connecting Knowledge” to vulva hygiene practices in cervical cancer prevention. Methods: The research design is a a quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test design without a control group. The sample will be selected using quota sampling, with inclusion criteria comprising third- and fifth-semester nursing students and adolescents aged 12–19 years. Group I consists of 10 third- and fifth-semester students from STIKES Telogorejo in Semarang; Group II comprises 20 individuals; and Group III comprises 40 adolescents from the Karang Ayu sub-district. Quantitative data were managed and analysed using SPSS, using a Paired t-test with a p-value of <0.05. Results and Recommendation: The results of this study show that the majority of respondents were aged 18 and p value <0.05, indicate that connecting knowledge influences adolescents’ knowledge (0.05 and 0.012) and behaviour (0.012 and 0.034) regarding vulvar hygiene in the prevention of cervical cancer. It is recommended that further research should incorporate additional interventions and involve a wider range of stakeholders, thereby providing adolescents with a safe space to look after their health without feeling embarrassed to speak openly. Cervical cancer prevention begins in adolescence and continues into adulthood, and could be incorporated as one of the interventions within comprehensive nursing care.

Abstract

Anemia among adolescent girls remains a significant public health problem that may affect reproductive health and overall quality of life. Iron (Fe) supplementation is commonly used to increase hemoglobin (Hb) levels and may be optimized by consuming foods that enhance iron absorption, such as Ambon bananas, which contain prebiotics and supportive nutrients. This study aimed to analyze the effect of Fe tablet consumption combined with Ambon banana intake on hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach. The sample consisted of adolescent girls at SMK Negeri 2 Sukorejo, divided into an intervention group (Fe tablets + Ambon banana) and a control group (Fe tablets only). Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a significant increase in hemoglobin levels in both groups. In the intervention group, the mean Hb increased from 11.44 g/dL to 13.08 g/dL (p=0.000), while in the control group it increased from 11.62 g/dL to 13.69 g/dL (p=0.000). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.075). In conclusion, Fe tablet consumption, with or without Ambon banana supplementation, is effective in increasing hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. The addition of Ambon banana did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference compared to Fe supplementation alone.
