Abstract

Effective family management can enhance a family's ability to cope with illness, maintain psychological stability, and support treatment outcomes. However, this has not yet been explored explicitly among families caring for children with cancer in the Province of Aceh. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of family management in caring for children with cancer, to provide a basis for designing appropriate nursing interventions to enhance family caregiving practices. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design, involving a total sample of 62 mothers and 30 fathers. Participants were families of children with cancer residing in various cities across Aceh Province who were receiving treatment in Banda Aceh. Data collection took place from March to April 2025. A non-probability, purposive sampling technique was employed, and quantitative data were collected using the Family Management Measure (FaMM). The results indicated that fathers reported higher scores compared to mothers across nearly all subscales of family management, including Child’s Daily Life (3.867), Condition Management Ability (3.455), Condition Management Effort (3.483), Family Life Difficulty (3.576), and View of Condition Impact (4.017). In contrast, mothers demonstrated slightly higher scores on the Parental Mutuality subscale (3.772). The results suggest that fathers tend to have a more positive perception than mothers regarding most dimensions of family management, including the child’s daily life, the ability and effort to manage the condition, and the perceived impact of the illness on family life. However, mothers showed a slightly higher perception of parental collaboration.

Abstract

Contaminated surgical wounds have emerged as a significant problem in many healthcare settings, leading to prolonged hospitalization and increased treatment costs. One of the primary purposes of this research was to analyze the types of microorganisms present in all collected samples from post-surgical wounds and to assess their antimicrobial susceptibility. PCR was applied as a reliable diagnostic tool to identify the isolated microbial agents. Specimens included 110 wound swabs collected from patients aged between 10 and 55 years who had recently undergone various surgical procedures at Rzgari Hospital in Erbil, Iraq. The bacterial isolates were identified using traditional microbiological approaches, and all isolates were subjected to antibiotic resistance testing performed on all isolated species. PCR was employed to differentiate between the microbial species. The results revealed the presence of several bacterial species in surgical wound sites, with the following prevalence rates: E. coli (35.9%), S. aureus (27.8%), P. aeruginosa (24.3%), Acinetobacter spp. (9.9%), and Enterobacter spp. (9.1%). The predominant isolates demonstrated Susceptibility testing to vancomycin and amikacin. ERIC-PCR analysis was applied to 9 S. aureus and 17 E. coli isolates, revealing four distinct genetic profiles, indicating considerable genetic diversity. DNA fingerprinting images were obtained for both species. The results of this study underscore the critical role of precise microbial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing in effectively managing postoperative wound infections. The outcomes of this research could enhance infection control strategies and support improved clinical care for patients undergoing surgery.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition that requires long-term treatment with hemodialysis. Routine and invasive hemodialysis not only has an impact on the physical aspects of the patient, but also causes psychological, social, and spiritual uncertainty of illness. Uncertainty of illness related to health conditions requires adaptation to changes during the hemodialysis process, including negative psychosocial impacts. Spiritual education consisted of belief and the power of prayer, dzikir (remembrance of Allah) therapy, and enhancing healing motivation. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of spiritual education in reducing the uncertainty of illness among hemodialysis patients. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design was employed. The sample comprised 68 respondents divided equally into an intervention and a control group, with 34 respondents/group. The instrument used to measure uncertainty of illness was the Mishel Uncertainty of Illness Scale (MUIS-C, comprising 22 items in a five-point Likert scale. Data analyzed using an independent t-test and a Mann-Whitney U-test. The study results showed a significant difference in the score uncertainty of illness by using spiritual education in hemodialysis patients between the intervention and control groups, with mean ranks of 45.76 and 23.24 (p<0.001), respectively. Interventional spiritual education through an Islamic-based approach showed a significant effect in reducing the uncertainty of illness in hemodialysis patients. These findings suggest that spiritual education may be implemented in nursing interventions to reduce the uncertainty of illness among patients undergoing hemodialysis and may serve as a valuable component in the holistic care of chronic illness.

Abstract

Primary health service transformation implementation focuses on a lifecycle approach with promotive and preventive efforts and brings health services closer to cadres through Posyandu. Good integration of Primary Services requires efforts to improve the skills of posyandu cadres through E-Leaflet media. This study aims to determine the influence of e-leaflet media on improving toddler posyandu cadres' skills. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-size-fits-all posttest without a control group. The sample amounted to 43 posyandu cadres. The sampling technique is simple random sampling—data analysis with the Wilcoxon test. The p-value on the respondents' skills before and after being given the e-leaflet media was (p=0.001). There was a significant increase in skills after being given the e-leaflet media to the cadres of the Posyandu for toddlers. This statistically significant outcome confirms the efficacy of digital learning resources in strengthening frontline community health worker capabilities.

Abstract

The decline in nurse performance significantly affects the service image of a hospital in the community. Poor nursing services lead to a lack of public confidence in the hospital's capabilities. The low quality of nursing services can be caused by many factors, such as the quality of nurses' working lives and burnout syndrome. High work handled by a few human resources will only result in a high workload and increased work stress. A conducive work environment not only helps nurses control stress but also allows them to improve their performance. Researchers aim to analyze the workload, work environment, and work stress on the performance of nurses. The number of samples used was 141 nurses who were willing to be respondents and not in a state that could affect data collection. The dependent variable is nurse performance, and the independent variables are workload, work environment, and work stress. Data was analyzed using the Chi-Square Analysis method with the SPSS 19.0 for Windows program. The results showed that the workload variable did not affect nurse performance, with a p-value of 0.513; the work environment variable affected nurse performance, with a p-value of 0.013; the work stress variable did not affect nurse performance, with a p-value of 0.484. The results indicate that the work environment is the only factor significantly associated with nurse performance among the variables examined. These findings suggest that interventions to improve nurse performance should prioritize optimizing the work environment. Work workload and work stress, as measured in this study, may not require targeted adjustments for performance enhancement.

Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls is a significant public health issue with a high prevalence. Despite the government's launch of the Nutritious Action Program to tackle this problem, its effectiveness is still hindered by low adherence to Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) tablet consumption among adolescents. This qualitative study aims to analyze the factors influencing adherence to IFA tablet consumption in adolescent girls from the Health Belief Model (HBM) perspective. Using a case study design, this research collected data through in-depth interviews with four adolescent girls, one parent, and an expert from IAKMI Kudus. Data analysis was conducted interactively by identifying key themes relevant to the HBM components. The results show that adherence is influenced by the complex interaction of the six HBM components. Adolescents have a good perception of their susceptibility to and the severity of anemia, but this is not enough to overcome the perceived barriers. Physical barriers, such as side effects like nausea, dizziness, and unpleasant taste, are the strongest predictors of non-adherence. Adherence is highly dependent on external cues, such as supervision from teachers and parents, with behavioral differences observed between students living in boarding schools and those who are not. This study concludes that successful interventions must go beyond merely providing IFA tablets. A comprehensive strategy is needed to strengthen adolescents' self-efficacy to overcome barriers and ensure continuous social support from schools and families to achieve sustainable dietary behavior changes.

Abstract

Pubic bone pain is one of the discomforts that occurs in pregnant women in the third trimester. This problem often occurs in pregnant women, especially in the third trimester. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods can be used to manage pubic bone pain. Non-pharmacological pain management can be done in several ways, including relaxation, acupressure, and prenatal yoga. Prenatal yoga is one of the modifications of hatha yoga adapted to pregnant women's conditions. This study aims to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on pregnant women in the third trimester in overcoming pubic bone pain in the control and intervention groups. The method for this study uses quasi-experimental research, which uses a pre- and post-test design with a control group design. The sample in this study amounted to 50 pregnant women in the third trimester, consisting of 25 pregnant women in the intervention group and 25 pregnant women in the control group. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. This research instrument used pain measurement with the NRS. Due to abnormal distribution, the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests, namely the Wilcoxon test. The results of the study showed that prenatal yoga affected pubic bone pain in third-trimester pregnant women, with a value of P = 0.000. Prenatal yoga was able to reduce pubic bone pain in pregnant women in the third trimester. The researcher was then able to provide both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment to pregnant women in the third trimester who experienced pubic bone pain.

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting (emesis gravidarum) are among the most common complaints during the first trimester of pregnancy, often associated with elevated levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Non-pharmacological interventions such as acupressure have been proposed as effective alternatives to manage these symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure therapy in reducing the severity of emesis gravidarum among first-trimester pregnant women. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was applied. A purposive sampling technique recruited 42 participants, divided equally into intervention (n=21) and control (n=21) groups. Acupressure therapy was administered to the intervention group at specific points, while the control group received routine antenatal care. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Acupressure therapy effectively alleviated symptoms of emesis gravidarum during the first trimester. Acupressure therapy is a beneficial, non-pharmacological intervention for reducing emesis gravidarum in early pregnancy. This technique can be integrated into maternal health services to improve comfort and wellbeing.

Abstract

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) is one of the nutritional problems in pregnant women that can harm maternal health and fetal growth. One of the causes of the high risk of CED is the low knowledge of pregnant women related to nutrition during pregnancy. Education using booklet media is considered adequate because it presents the material concisely, clearly, and illustrated, making it easier to understand. This study aims to determine the influence of education using booklet media on pregnant women's knowledge about CEDs. This Research uses a pre-experimental design with a group pretest-posttest design. The sample amounted to 25 pregnant women who were selected using the total sampling technique. Data was collected using a CED knowledge questionnaire, while data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate using the Wilcoxon test. Before education, most (72.0%) of pregnant women's knowledge of CEDs was lacking. After education, all respondents (100%) were in the category of good knowledge. The difference in the average value of knowledge before and after education was 4.64. The results of the Wilcoxon test were obtained, p=0.000 (<0.05), which showed a significant influence of education using booklet media on increasing pregnant women's knowledge about CEDs. Education using booklet media is effective in increasing pregnant women's knowledge about CEDs. It is recommended that health workers use booklets as a routine educational medium, and further Research adds measures of attitudes and behaviors to see the long-term changes.

Abstract

Perineal wounds, postpartum pain, anemia, and low breast milk production are common problems in postpartum mothers that can reduce their quality of life. Topical and oral use of honey has been shown to accelerate wound healing, reduce pain, increase hemoglobin levels, and increase breast milk production. The study's objectives were to determine the effectiveness of primary honey dressing of perineal wounds and acacia honey consumption in improving the quality of life of postpartum mothers. This pre-experimental study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest with a control group. Using a total sampling technique, the sample size was 40 postpartum mothers, consisting of 20 in the treatment group and 20 in the control group. The intervention consisted of a primary honey dressing on the perineal wound and acacia honey consumption for 21 days. The instruments used included the REEDA scale, the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), hemoglobin level measurements, and breast milk volume measurements. Data analysis used the Independent T-Test and Paired T-Test. There were significant differences between the treatment and control groups in terms of perineal wound healing (p<0.05), reduced pain intensity (p<0.05), increased hemoglobin levels (p<0.05), and increased breast milk production (p<0.05). Primary honey dressing on the perineal wound and acacia honey consumption was effective in accelerating wound healing, reducing postpartum pain, increasing hemoglobin levels, and increasing breast milk production, all of which contributed to an overall improvement in the quality of life of postpartum mothers. It is recommended that healthcare professionals consider using honey in obstetric care, particularly in postpartum maternal monitoring. This implementation can be a promotive and preventive strategy in maternal health care.
