<![CDATA[Introduction: The prevalence of social interaction disorders among school-age children remains high. Parental influence and excessive device usage are two key factors that affect children's social interactions. This study aims to examine the relationship between parenting styles, the duration of gadget use, and social interactions in school-age children. Methods: A cross-sectional design with a correlational analytical approach was employed in this study. The population consisted of 75 children, and a simple random sampling technique was used, resulting in a sample of 63 children. Data were collected using the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), a closed-ended survey instrument. The data were tabulated and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: The results revealed that most parents (38.1%) adopted a democratic parenting style, the majority of children (54.0%) spent more than two hours using technology, and the majority of children (52.4%) exhibited adaptive social interactions. The statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between school-age children's social interactions and the duration of gadget use. Conclusions: Based on these findings, it is recommended that parents closely monitor their children's technology use and establish time limits to prevent potential negative impacts on their social interactions with others.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: One of the most common cardiovascular diseases with a high morbidity and mortality rate is congestive heart failure (CHF). Patients with CHF often experience leg edema, which can cause discomfort and increase the risk of skin health issues. Therefore, nursing interventions are necessary to address the problem of leg edema in CHF patients. Methods: This study aims to provide a framework for the application of contrast bath therapy and 30-degree foot elevation procedures. This qualitative study employs a descriptive case study design with a therapeutic communication process approach, involving one participant with leg edema caused by CHF. Results: The implementation of the procedure begins with the pre-interaction phase, which involves assessing the patient's safety and protection needs and formulating a diagnosis regarding the risk of skin integrity damage. During the orientation phase, nurses provide therapeutic greetings, introductions, and obtain informed consent. In the interaction phase, the patient’s feet are soaked in warm water at 39°C for 3 minutes, followed by a soak in cold water at 16°C for 1 minute, then another soak in warm water at 39°C for 3 minutes. Afterward, the feet are dried with a towel, and the patient’s feet are positioned at a 30-degree elevation. The termination phase involves evaluating the patient's complaints and measuring the degree of edema. Conclusions: The contrast bath procedure and the 30-degree foot elevation, when combined with the therapeutic communication stages, can be effectively applied to treat edema in patients with congestive heart failure.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in preschool children. Nebulizer therapy is effective for ARI, but it can cause anxiety in pediatric patients, which may hinder their cooperation and recovery. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of puzzle play therapy in reducing anxiety levels among preschool children with ARI undergoing nebulizer treatment. Methods: A pre-experimental study utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 23 preschool children diagnosed with ARI who received nebulizer therapy in the Children's Room A11 at SMC Telogorejo Hospital, Semarang, between March and April 2024. Anxiety levels were assessed pre- and post-intervention using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS), which has demonstrated validity (CVI score = 1.0, reliability = 0.89). Puzzle play therapy was administered alongside nebulizer therapy, and the data were analyzed through paired t-tests.Results: Most participants were 4-year-old males (47.8%) with a hospital stay of more than seven days (56.5%). Before the intervention, 73.9% of participants had severe anxiety (mean = 23.65). Following the intervention, 73.9% of participants reported moderate anxiety (mean score = 12.78), with no instances of severe anxiety. The statistical analysis showed a significant decrease in anxiety levels (p = 0.001). Conclusions: Puzzle play therapy effectively reduced anxiety in children during nebulizer treatment. This intervention can be implemented as a non-pharmacological approach to manage anxiety in pediatric patients during medical procedures. Further research should investigate its long-term benefits and applicability in various clinical settings.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Atherosclerotic heart disease is one of the leading cardiovascular diseases with a high mortality rate globally. Atherosclerosis occurs due to the accumulation of cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) on the inner walls of blood vessels, forming plaques that can completely block arteries, potentially leading to death. One of the interventions used to relieve such blockages is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PCI can have an impact on patients' physical activity and quality of life. The aim of this study is to determine the factors associated with quality of life after PCI in patients with atherosclerotic heart disease. Methods: This study employed a descriptive correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling, resulting in a total of 60 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank test and logistic regression. Results: The findings indicated that most respondents (81.7%) reported a moderate quality of life. Factors associated with quality of life after PCI included age, gender, education, anxiety, and illness perception. The results of the multivariate analysis revealed that the most significant factor associated with quality of life post-PCI was education, with an odds ratio (OR) of 9.392. Conclusions: Among all the factors, education emerged as the most dominant determinant of quality of life after PCI, with an odds ratio (OR) of 9.392 and a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.252–70.434.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: In the process of compiling a thesis, female students have a sense of anxiety. Anxiety that arises due to pressure and causes hormones that play a role in the menstrual cycle not to function properly, causing disorders in the menstrual cycle. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between anxiety levels and menstrual cycle disorders in female students of the Undergraduate Nursing Study Program who are compiling theses at Maharani Health College (STIKes Maharani). Methods: The research design used was Cross-sectional. Sampling used a purposive sampling technique. The research sample was 40 respondents. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires adopted from previous research that had undergone validity and reliability tests. Results: The results of this study found data on the highest level of anxiety, namely 31 people (77.5%) with moderate anxiety levels and 21 people (52.5%) experiencing menstrual cycle disorders. Based on the Fisher Exact Test, the p-value was obtained = 0.046 <α (0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that there was a relationship between anxiety levels and menstrual cycle disorders in female students of the Undergraduate Nursing Study Program who were compiling theses at STIKes Maharani. Anxiety often causes menstrual cycles to become irregular. It is hoped that the anxiety experienced by female students while writing their thesis can be anticipated by adapting to their individual levels of anxiety. Female students must also have positive coping adaptations so that they do not have an impact on physiological changes and menstrual cycle disorders.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Hypertension is an escalating global health issue, with diet playing a critical role in its management by limiting salt and saturated fat intake while increasing the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and fiber. However, low patient compliance often leads to unstable blood pressure and increases the risk of complications such as stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family support, social support, and diet adherence among hypertensive patients. Methods: This study employed a descriptive survey approach with a cross-sectional research design, conducted among hypertensive patients at the Margorejo Pati Health Center. A total of 40 participants were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using a Family Support Questionnaire, a Social Support Questionnaire, and a Hypertension Diet Adherence Questionnaire. The Spearman Rank Correlation test was used to determine the relationship between the variables. Results: The bivariate analysis revealed a strong correlation between family support and diet adherence among hypertensive patients, with a p-value of 0.000 (p ≤ 0.05) and a correlation strength of r = 0.979, indicating a very strong and positive relationship. Additionally, social support was significantly associated with diet adherence, with a p-value of 0.000 (p ≤ 0.05) and a correlation strength of r = 0.912, demonstrating a very strong positive correlation. Conclusions: The findings indicate that both family and social support are strongly and positively correlated with the dietary adherence of hypertensive patients. Based on these findings, it is recommended to enhance family involvement in patient dietary management.]]>
