Abstract

Background: Clinical clerkship (co-ass) students in dental hospitals are at high risk of occupational exposure to infectious diseases, yet compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) remains low. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a leaflet-based educational intervention on knowledge, attitudes, practices, and compliance regarding PPE use among clinical dental students. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted at the Dental and Oral Hospital, Universitas Sumatera Utara, involving 150 clinical clerkship students selected through simple random sampling. A validated questionnaire was used to measure knowledge, attitudes, practices, and compliance before and after the leaflet intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (α = 0.05). Results: After the intervention, the proportion of respondents with good knowledge increased from 20.0% to 83.3%, good attitudes from 14.7% to 64.7%, good practices from 23.3% to 75.3%, and good compliance from 23.3% to 80.0%. Mean scores increased significantly for all variables: knowledge (2.42±1.23 to 6.33±2.36), attitudes (14.07±2.33 to 20.51±2.45), practices (11.27±1.84 to 17.11±1.77), and compliance (23.13±2.61 to 33.64±2.75). The Wilcoxon test yielded p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) for all variables, indicating significant differences before and after intervention. Conclusion: Leaflet-based education effectively improves knowledge, attitudes, practices, and PPE compliance among clinical dental students. This simple, reusable, and low-cost educational medium can be integrated into clinical orientation programs to strengthen infection prevention behaviors.

Abstract

Introduction: Fear is one of the impacts of hospitalization commonly experienced by children. The fear experienced by children during hospitalization can contribute to the development of other psychological problems, therefore, nurses are expected to implement interventions to address children’s fear during hospitalization. This study aimed to analyze the effect of expressive writing on the level of fear among school-aged children undergoing hospitalization. Methods: The research design used in this study was a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 25 hospitalized children aged 10–12 years. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The instrument employed to measure children’s fear levels was the Children’s Fear Measurement Scale (CFS). The intervention implemented in this study was expressive writing administered over three days. Fear scores were measured on the first day prior to the intervention and re-measured on the third day after the intervention was completed. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results showed that expressive writing therapy was significantly associated with fear scores (p < 0.05). This indicates that expressive writing therapy can help reduce fear scores in children after a three-day intervention. Conclusions: Based on these findings, expressive writing therapy can be considered as one of the nursing interventions to address fear in children during hospitalization. Nurses are expected to facilitate hospitalized children in engaging in expressive writing therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition that requires long-term hemodialysis and can substantially affect patients’ quality of life. Effective self-management is essential to support patients in managing symptoms, adapting to treatment demands, and maintaining physical and mental well-being. Methods: A descriptive correlational design using a cross-sectional approach was used in this research. The participants were patients with CKD undergoing routine hemodialysis at a regional public hospital in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. A total of 194 respondents were recruited using purposive sampling. Self-management was assessed using the Hemodialysis Self-Management Instrument (HDSMI-18), and quality of life was calculated using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQoL-36) questionnaire. Univariate analysis with Spearman correlation tests used to analyzed data. Results: Self-care was significantly associated with symptom control (r = 0.190; p = 0.008), effects of kidney disease (r = 0.412; p < 0.001), disease burden (r = 0.322; p < 0.001), and mental quality of life (r = 0.497; p < 0.001). Problem solving was associated with effects of kidney disease (r = 0.220; p = 0.002) and mental quality of life (r = 0.158; p = 0.027). Emotional management was related to physical (r = 0.147; p = 0.041) and mental quality of life (r = 0.147; p = 0.040). Overall self-management was associated with effects of kidney disease (r = 0.296; p < 0.001), disease burden (r = 0.171; p = 0.017), and mental quality of life (r = 0.277; p < 0.001), while partnership showed no significant associations. Conclusions: Self-management related to quality of life among patients undergoing hemodialysis, with self-care showing the strongest and most consistent associations. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening self-management skills, particularly self-care, problem solving, and emotional regulation, to optimize quality of life in patients with CKD.

Abstract

Insomnia is one of the most prevalent sleep disorders in the geriatric population and is considered a geriatric syndrome with substantial effects on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial health. Age-related changes in sleep architecture and circadian rhythms, along with an increased burden of chronic diseases and psychosocial factors, contribute to the high prevalence of insomnia among older adults. This condition is associated with an increased risk of depression, cognitive decline, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, decreased quality of life, and higher morbidity and mortality. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of insomnia in geriatric patients is essential for effective clinical management. This study employed a literature review design, analyzing relevant scientific publications on insomnia in older adults. Sources included textbooks, clinical practice guidelines, and recent peer-reviewed journal articles discussing definitions, epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnostic methods, and management strategies. The findings indicate that insomnia in older adults is multifactorial, influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors, as well as comorbid medical conditions and polypharmacy. Diagnosis is primarily based on comprehensive clinical history taking, supported by validated assessment tools such as the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), along with evaluation of underlying medical and psychiatric conditions. Nonpharmacological interventions are recommended as first-line therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), sleep hygiene education, stimulus control, sleep restriction, and bright light therapy. Pharmacological treatment may be considered cautiously, given age-related pharmacokinetic changes and the heightened risk of adverse effects, including falls, cognitive impairment, and drug dependence. In conclusion, insomnia in the geriatric population is a complex condition requiring comprehensive assessment and a strong emphasis on nonpharmacological management to ensure safe and effective outcomes.

Abstract

Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by sicca symptoms, particularly xerostomia, resulting from salivary gland dysfunction. Accurate assessment of glandular function and systemic disease activity is essential, as subjective complaints often do not correlate with objective clinical measurements. This study aimed to evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in patients with primary Sjogren’s syndrome based on objective salivary gland function assessment and standardized measurement of systemic disease activity. Methods: This observational study included patients diagnosed with primary Sjogren’s syndrome. Subjective xerostomia was assessed using the Summated Xerostomia Index–Indonesian version (SXI-ID), while objective evaluation was performed using the unstimulated whole salivary flow rate and the Clinical Oral Dryness Score (CODS). Systemic disease activity was measured using the EULAR Sjogren’s Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI). All assessments were conducted prior to treatment initiation and periodically during follow-up. Non-autoimmune etiologies were excluded through comprehensive history taking, physical examination, and relevant investigations. A discrepancy was observed between subjective xerostomia complaints and objective salivary function measurements. ESSDAI scoring demonstrated variability in systemic disease activity, categorized as low, moderate, and high. A multidisciplinary approach contributed to accurate diagnosis and evaluation of organ involvement. Therapeutic decision-making in Sjogren’s syndrome should be guided by objective salivary gland function assessment and standardized systemic activity indices such as ESSDAI, rather than relying solely on subjective patient-reported symptoms. The integration of subjective and objective evaluations through periodic monitoring may enhance therapeutic precision and improve long-term disease management outcomes in patients with Sjogren’s syndrome.

Abstract

Introduction: Patients undergoing hemodialysis often experience physical changes. These changes can affect their perception of their body image. Self-esteem is believed to be a key determinant of body image. Methods: This was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. Measurements were made using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) and the Body Image Scale (BIS). The sample size was 78 patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Results: The Spearman rank test between self-esteem and body image in patients undergoing hemodialysis showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) and an r-value of 0.404, indicating a statistically significant positive correlation between the two variables. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between self-esteem and body image in patients undergoing hemodialysis

Abstract

Background: Antenatal care (ANC) is a core strategy for reducing maternal and neonatal mortality through early detection and management of pregnancy complications. However, ANC coverage in Kualuh Hulu District, North Labuhanbatu Regency, remains suboptimal, with fluctuating maternal and infant death rates signaling persistent service gaps. Identifying the local determinants of ANC compliance is essential for designing targeted interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 153 second- and third-trimester pregnant women recruited through total sampling from four public health centers in Kualuh Hulu District. Data were collected using a structured, validated questionnaire. Analysis included univariate description, bivariate analysis using Chi-square tests, and multivariate binary logistic regression to identify independent determinants. Results: High ANC compliance was observed in 65.4% of participants. Bivariate analysis showed significant associations with six factors: knowledge (p<0.001; OR=4.97), attitude (p<0.001; OR=7.52), decision-making autonomy (p<0.001; OR=6.01), perceived service quality (p=0.002; OR=3.89), availability of staff and facilities (p=0.014; OR=2.90), and transportation and examination costs (p=0.006; OR=2.36). After multivariate adjustment, only knowledge (AOR=5.25; 95% CI: 2.17–12.68), attitude (AOR=4.38; 95% CI: 1.72–11.12), and decision-making autonomy (AOR=4.57; 95% CI: 1.87–11.16) remained significant independent predictors. Conclusions: Knowledge, attitude, and decision-making autonomy are the dominant determinants of ANC compliance in this rural setting. Interventions should prioritize continuous health education, awareness-building counseling, and empowerment of women in health-related decisions, while service quality improvements and cost support serve as essential enabling factors.
