<![CDATA[Introduction: As a mental health service, community leaders' involvement will aid in the detection and reporting of mental illnesses in the community, assisting in the provision of unambiguous answers to health issues in the community. The significance of leaders in changing the way the community views mental health cannot be overstated. This study aims to ascertain how community leaders' perceptions of people with mental illness evolve following their training and health education. Methods: Using a pre-test and post-test design with a control group, this study was quasi-experimental. Using the Community Attitudes Survey and stratified random sampling, the sample consisted of 84 respondents in total. The Mental Illness Questionnaire. We conduct mental health training daily, followed by a two-week evaluation. Results: According to the study's findings, the intervention group's mean attitude score 24.95, while the control group's was 23.97. Additionally, the intervention group's post-mental health training score was 27.32, while the control group's rating was 25.10. Both the intervention group and the control group had 0.000 (p < 0.05) attitudes, indicating that mental health training had an impact on both groups. With a value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), the difference test results likewise revealed a significant attitude difference. Community leaders develop the capacity to take on a particular mindset. Conclusions: There is an influence on the attitudes of community leaders toward people with mental illness when receiving health education.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Bronchopneumonia is a common cause of lower respiratory infections in children and often leads to impaired oxygenation and breathing difficulties. There is an urgent need for non-invasive, child-friendly interventions to support respiratory recovery in hospitalized children. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified breathing intervention, specifically bubble-blowing therapy, on oxygenation outcomes in children with bronchopneumonia. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed, involving 31 children diagnosed with bronchopneumonia, selected through purposive sampling at SMC Telogorejo Hospital. The intervention consisted of a 10-minute session of modified pursed-lips breathing combined with bubble blowing. Oxygenation was assessed by measuring respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (SpO₂) before and after the intervention. Paired t-tests were used for statistical analysis, with significance set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: Post-intervention findings showed significant improvements: the mean RR decreased from 28.7 to 24.13 breaths/min, HR decreased from 122.87 to 112.90 beats/min, and SpO₂ increased from 95.16% to 99.23% (all p = 0.000). Conclusions: Bubble-blowing breathing therapy, a playful adaptation of pursed-lips breathing, significantly improved respiratory rate, heart rate, and oxygen saturation in children with bronchopneumonia. These findings suggest that this approach may serve as a simple and engaging method to enhance short-term oxygenation in pediatric care. Further studies incorporating control groups and longer follow-up periods are needed to confirm these findings and explore long-term effects.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading global cause of death, often complicated by comorbid type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), known collectively as Cardiovascular–Renal–Metabolic (CaReMe) conditions. These comorbidities significantly increase mortality and ICU burden, yet their combined impact on outcomes in intensive care remains underexplored. Despite their high prevalence, especially in critically ill patients, limited studies have focused on this triad in ICU settings. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating outcomes of ICU-admitted CVD patients with T2DM and CKD. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted over three months in the ICU of Bidadari Batubara Hospital. Data from 86 CVD patients with T2DM and CKD were analyzed. Using purposive sampling, clinical data were retrieved from medical records. Statistical tests assessed associations between comorbidities and in-ICU mortality. Results: The study found high mortality rates in patients with CVD and comorbid T2DM and CKD. Patients with both conditions had a 64.9% mortality rate, a 2.07-fold increased risk of mortality compared to those with T2DM only (31.3%) (95% CI: 0.96-4.44), and a 1.53-fold increased risk compared to those with CKD only (42.4%) (95% CI: 0.96-2.43). A significant association was found between outcomes of CVD patients and comorbidities (p<0.001), with a positive correlation. Conclusions: Previous studies emphasize the impact of comorbidities on CVD outcomes; this study confirms that T2DM and CKD significantly increase ICU mortality, justifying targeted interventions to mitigate risk and improve outcomes in critically ill CVD patients.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: AI-based chatbots are increasingly used in healthcare to deliver automated patient education due to their ability to provide instant responses and process large volumes of data. Despite their potential, concerns regarding accuracy, patient trust, and regulatory issues continue to limit their full integration into clinical practice. This systematic review evaluates the accuracy, acceptance, and effectiveness of chatbots in supporting nurse-led education. Methods: Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of five databases (2019–2024) identified 17 relevant studies. Data extraction focused on study design, chatbot interventions, evaluation metrics, and key findings. Results: The analysis revealed that chatbot accuracy ranged from 60% to 90%, with rule-based systems (92%) outperforming machine learning models (83%). Patient acceptance was moderate: 68% of users expressed willingness to use chatbots, but only 42% fully trusted their recommendations. Trust increased by 30% when chatbot responses were validated by healthcare professionals. Conclusions: AI chatbots can effectively address routine inquiries and reduce nurses’ workload; however, their limited emotional intelligence and contextual adaptability reduce their effectiveness compared to nurse-led education. Key challenges remain in terms of accuracy, trust, and regulation. Future research should focus on personalization, AI–human collaboration, and the development of ethical frameworks to ensure safe and effective implementation.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Postnatal depression (PND) is a psychological disorder commonly experienced by mothers during the first year after giving birth. This condition is associated with an increased risk of suicide, which is one of the leading causes of postnatal death. It requires psychotherapy as well as group and family support. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of the SADABUSAGA (Love and Support Mothers Together with Family) family intervention approach on PND in Indragiri Hulu District. Methods: This study used a pretest–posttest control group design. It was conducted from February to May 2025 on 30 postpartum mothers within one year after childbirth in Indragiri Hulu District, divided into 15 participants in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. Results: The average depression score in the experimental group before the intervention was 15.8 and decreased to 7.2 after the intervention. In the control group, the average score decreased from 10.6 to 9.7. The p-value from the independent t-test was 0.00 (<0.05), confirming that the SADABUSAGA family intervention significantly reduced depression in postpartum mothers. Conclusions: Family support, especially from husbands, parents, and in-laws through the SADABUSAGA approach, can help prevent and manage PND in postpartum mothers.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Breast cancer has one of the highest incidence and mortality rates among malignancies in women worldwide. Mastectomy, the surgical removal of breast tissue, remains a common treatment modality for breast cancer, and post-mastectomy exercises are essential for preventing complications such as lymphedema, improving mobility, and enhancing recovery in breast cancer patients. This study aims to assess nursing students’ knowledge regarding post-mastectomy exercises at the University of Health Sciences. Methods: This descriptive exploratory cross-sectional study assessed the knowledge of 100 nursing students at the University of Health Sciences regarding post-mastectomy exercises. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The students demonstrated an average knowledge level of 63% regarding lymphedema and post-mastectomy exercises. Second-year students exhibited the highest proportion of good knowledge (76.9%), substantially exceeding third-year (62.5%) and fourth-year students (37.7%). This finding challenges the effectiveness of a linear curriculum model and supports the need for a spiral curriculum, in which key concepts are revisited at progressively deeper levels throughout the program. The main barriers to learning were limited clinical exposure (53%) and lack of educational materials (46%), indicating that practical training requires review, development, and technical enhancement to achieve its intended goals. Conclusions: Nursing students’ knowledge of post-mastectomy exercises is inadequate, and both educational and clinical training designs require urgent revision. Innovative, reinforced, and interactive approaches are essential to equip future nurses with the competencies needed for effective post-mastectomy care.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Adolescence is a transitional phase marked by rapid changes that are not yet matched by mature decision-making skills. Peer influence increases the likelihood of risky behaviors, including unsafe sexual practices. This is exacerbated by low levels of sexual literacy, limited awareness of reproductive health, and a lack of comprehensive sexuality education. According to a report by the United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS), approximately 1.9 million adolescent girls and young women aged 15–24 are living with HIV worldwide. This research attempts to examine sexual awareness and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS prevention and sexual behavior. Methods: The research methodology applied was a quantitative correlation study using a cross-sectional approach, involving 150 high school students in Klaten Regency, with a simple random sampling technique. The research instruments included the Sexual Awareness Questionnaire (SAQ), an HIV/AIDS prevention attitude questionnaire, and a sexual behavior questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using Kendall’s Tau test. Results: The results showed that most respondents were aged 15–18 years, with a mean age of 16.87 years. The majority were male (54.7%) and lived with their parents (97.3%). Most respondents demonstrated a moderate level of sexual awareness (72.7%), while attitudes toward HIV/ AIDS risk-reduction measures were predominantly inadequate (51.3%). Nevertheless, the majority reported engaging in safer sexual practices (91.3%). Conclusions: The results indicated no statistically significant association between sexual health awareness and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS prevention (p = 0.237). However, sexual health awareness was significantly associated with sexual behavior (p = 0.009; π = 0.209), suggesting a potential link between awareness and behavioral outcomes.]]>
