Abstract

A menstrual cup is a menstrual hygiene product that collects the menstrual discharge into a container made from silicone or latex, which is elastic and reusable. Although menstrual cup use is becoming increasingly widespread in menstrual hygiene management due to environmental sensitivity and numerous positive features, it is still an unknown method in Türkiye. This study, therefore, set out to determine Turkish women's use of menstrual cups and the factors affecting it. The study sample, recruited through the snowball sampling method, consisted of 306 Turkish women aged between 18 and 49, and the data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Menstrual Hygiene Product Use Assessment Form, and Menstrual Cup Knowledge Level Assessment Form. The results indicated that the rate of menstrual cup use was 16.3%, and all the women using it were found to have sexual experience. It was discovered that cup users have higher satisfaction with their menstrual hygiene products since they are unnoticeable, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, non-infectious, non-restrictive to actions, and comfortable. Further, the presence of pain during menstruation and the variables of the menstrual hygiene product's noticeability through clothes, impact on environmental pollution, potential for causing infections, and restriction of actions are significant predictors of menstrual cup use. Significant differences were also detected between cup use and women's employment status, sexual experience, experiences during menstruation, pain during menstruation, social activity restrictions during menstruation, and recommending the product to others. To promote the widespread use of menstrual cups as a menstrual hygiene product, it is recommended that midwives, as primary advocates for women's reproductive health, conduct awareness and usage enhancement initiatives.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of parenting styles, grounded in the Health Belief Model (HBM), on the personal hygiene practices of school-aged children in the Bangka region of Indonesia. Personal hygiene is critical for preventing diseases, particularly in children aged 6-12, who are at higher risk of exposure to disease-causing environments such as schools. Using a cross-sectional design, the study collected data from 80 parents and children through validated questionnaires, examining how different parenting styles—authoritarian, permissive, and democratic—affect children’s hygiene habits. The results indicate a strong correlation between parenting style and children's hygiene practices, with authoritarian parenting being the most prevalent (40%) and showing the highest adherence to hygiene routines. Additionally, the study found a significant positive relationship between parents' awareness of hygiene-related health risks and their children’s hygiene behaviors. The findings suggest that parental engagement and health beliefs play a crucial role in shaping children’s hygiene habits. These results have important implications for public health policies and parental education programs, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions that improve parental health literacy and promote balanced parenting styles to ensure long-term hygiene habits in children. The study calls for further research into culturally appropriate educational strategies that support parental involvement in promoting child health in regions with high incidences of hygiene-related diseases.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the migration intention of nursing students and the factors affecting it in Türkiye and the Philippines. A total of 284 nursing students were included in this descriptive study. The "Personal Data Form" was used for data collection, which included questions about the participants' sociodemographic characteristics and their intention to migrate. 87% of the students stated that they intend to migrate abroad. The three most frequently indicated reasons for migration are inadequate nursing salaries (73.6%), insufficient increase in salary relative to inflation in the country (60.6%), and unequal wage distribution (55.3%). Nursing migration will inevitably increase over time and create problems in health service delivery among many countries. Nurses will tend to migrate to countries with better conditions, especially with the difficult working conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the nurse migration continues, the increasing shortages in the number of nurses in the emigrant countries cause nurses to work in heavier conditions and longer shifts, preventing the provision of quality and adequate health services. To reduce nursing migration, policymakers must produce solutions by considering the reasons that lead to migration.

Abstract

Nurses must have communication skills, empathy, and the ability to deal with the challenges of patient care effectively. Emotional intelligence and psychological resilience are skills that nurses can develop in adapting, collaborating, and providing quality patient care. This study aims to determine the effect of the emotional intelligence levels of intensive care and clinical nurses on their psychological resilience levels. In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 252 intensive care and ward nurses met the study sample. "Personal Information Form," "Emotional Intelligence Scale," and "Adult Resilience Measure" were used as data collection tools in the research. The nurses' "total emotional intelligence" average was found to be high at 139.060±24.129 (min=33 and max=180). The "psychological resilience total" score average was low at 86.774±10.648 (min=55 and max=105). It has been found that emotional intelligence affects psychological resilience in nurses. The psychological resilience of nurses working in intensive care units was lower than that of clinical nurses. Healthcare organizations need to increase the well-being of nurses in complex working environments with intervention programs emphasizing emotional intelligence and psychological resilience. The results of this study are important to encourage the improvement of nurses' well-being.

Abstract

Nursing care for infectious diseases should only be carried out by trained nurses. This is because nurses need experience and precision, especially skills in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Length of work and workload are possible factors that cause problems in the use of PPE. The purpose of this study was to explain the relationship between length of work and workload with the completeness of PPE use during infectious disease care. This study used a correlation research design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample of this study was 72 respondents. Respondents in this study were nurses who treated patients with TB and Pneumonia infections. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected in 2 months using recording of the results of direct observation and interviews. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rho test with a significance level of <0.05. The results showed a p-value between length of work and completeness of PPE use> 0.05, while the p-value between workload and completeness of PPE use <0.05. This means that there is no relationship between length of work and completeness of PPE use, while workload has a relationship with completeness of PPE use. Length of work does not make a nurse able to use PPE properly. This is because nurses have less opportunity to care for infectious patients. Infectious cases with complete PPE are quite rare. While the workload is related to the completeness of the use of PPE. The higher the workload will require nurses to install PPE quickly. Therefore, in order for nurses to use complete PPE, the nurse's workload should not be too high.

Abstract

The adolescent phase is a crucial period in terms of growth and development, making it essential to have a specialized tool that accurately measures adolescent sexual behavior levels. Such an instrument could serve as an initial screening tool to identify potential deviations or to monitor healthy development during adolescence. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Adolescent Sexual Behavior Degree Index. Research was conducted in high schools across three districts on Bangka Island, involving 348 adolescent participants. Findings indicated that format 2 had an r-count value for each questionnaire item exceeding the r-table threshold, confirming its validity. This conclusion was based on a decision criterion where the r-count (Pearson Product Moment Correlation) exceeded the r-table value of 0.4438 at df = 18 with α = 0.05, deeming the instrument valid. In the second stage, reliability testing of the Adolescent Sexual Behavior Degree Index showed an r-count greater than the critical r value, with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.979. These results confirm that the 20 questions in the Index are statistically reliable, as indicated by the high reliability coefficient of 0.979, well above the threshold of 0.6.

Abstract

Stunting is an urgent global issue and needs immediate handling in Indonesia. Families have a significant influence in changing behavior to prevent stunting. The aim of this research is to identify the relationship between maternal characteristics and family health duties with the incidence of stunting among toddlers in Depok City. This research uses an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional study. By using 211 mothers with toddlers as the research sample. Based on the results of the Chi Square test, there is a significant relationship between maternal age and the incidence of stunting in toddlers (p=0.038). However, there was no significant relationship between the number of children and the incidence of stunting (p=0.899). In addition, the results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between the mother's last education (p=0.027) and the mother's employment status (p=0.033) with the incidence of stunting in toddlers. This research also found that all stages of family health tasks were significantly related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers (p<0.05), and there was a significant relationship between the total value of the ability to carry out family health tasks and the incidence of stunting (p=0.011). These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive family-based health services to overcome the problem of stunting in toddlers.

Abstract

Child stunting is a global health problem, and the national prevalence of stunting is high. Stunting indicates failure of child development due to chronic malnutrition. Other causes of stunting can also be influenced by food security, parenting, environmental sanitation, or access to health services. In agricultural areas, one of the efforts that the community can make to reduce stunting rates is to maintain food security to prevent stunting in children. This study aims to determine that food security can reduce the prevalence of stunting in agricultural areas. The literature search used Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. The inclusion and exclusion criteria of the articles included national and international articles using Indonesian and English from 2020-2024. It was found that local food security is effective in preventing stunting in agricultural areas, and some factors affect food security, namely economic factors or individual income. The presence of household food security affects the incidence of stunting. Stunting increases when there is no food security, which coincides with the pre-harvest season. Low food security (food variety and quantity) can negatively impact the risk of stunting. As health workers, nurses must undoubtedly play a role in reducing stunting rates, one of which is by providing education or becoming educators for the community about the importance of food security in reducing the incidence of stunting.

Abstract

Cervical cancer occupies the third position in the cause of death from all cancers in Indonesia. PCR amplification examination can be used to detect HPV DNA Genotyping. Before carrying out PCR, DNA extraction is an essential step because it can determine the sensitivity of the examination. Sensitivity of HPV DNA detection Genotyping determined by concentration, purity and dot blot hybridization. The aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity of the selective membrane extraction method with heating lysis for the detection of HPV DNA Genotyping. In this research, a qualitative descriptive research method was used using a sample swab Cervical results previously known were six positive low risk, six positive high risk and six combinations of both at Laboratory X in Jakarta. The sampling technique used is disproportionate stratified random sampling. Work is done in duplicate. From the results of test analysis Chi-Square based on concentration, the value obtained is p=0.5 (>0.05), based on purity, the value obtained is p=0.5 (>0.05) and based on the results of HPV DNA hybridization Genotyping The p value obtained was 0.5 (>0.05), meaning there was no significant difference in sensitivity between the selective membrane extraction method and the heating lysis extraction method for the detection of HPV DNA. Genotyping. In this study both extraction methods can be amplified and used in the detection of HPV DNA Genotyping. Heating lysis extraction can be the main choice for use in HPV DNA detection Genotyping because it is more time and cost efficient.
