Abstract

Introduction: Work shifts are a work system that is commonly applied in hospitals to ensure that health services last for 24 hours. However, the implementation of work shifts, especially night shifts and irregular rotations, can have a negative impact on the physiological and psychological conditions of medical personnel, such as fatigue and work stress. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of work shifts on the level of fatigue and work stress in medical personnel at the Batam City Regional Hospital. Method: The research uses a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. Samples were taken purposively as many as 100 medical personnel working with a shift system. The instruments used included the Standard Shiftwork Index (SSI) and Job Stress Scale (JSS) questionnaires. Result and Discussion: The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between the type of work shift and the level of fatigue (p < 0.05) and work stress (p < 0.05). Medical personnel who work night shifts and rotational shifts tend to have higher fatigue and stress scores compared to morning shifts. Conclusion: The study concludes that a poorly managed work shift system can increase the risk of fatigue and work stress, which can ultimately impact patient safety and work productivity. Therefore, hospital management needs to consider more ergonomic shift scheduling as well as provide a stress management and workforce recovery program.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by significant emotional, cognitive, and social changes, during which individuals begin to form their identity and long-term psychological patterns. Objective: This study investigates the effectiveness of bibliotherapy as a psychological intervention to enhance subjective well-being (SWB) in adolescents living in dayahs in Aceh Besar. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pre-test and post-test design involving 61 adolescent students with low levels of subjective well-being (SWB). Data were collected using validated Indonesian versions of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences (SPANE), and analyzed using paired-sample t-tests. Results and Discussion: The results revealed statistically significant improvements in overall subjective well-being (SWB) (p = 0.001), life satisfaction (p = 0.001), positive affect (p < 0.001), and a reduction in negative affect (p = 0.001). These findings demonstrate that bibliotherapy is a practical, low-cost, flexible intervention that can be implemented by nurses, educators, or librarians within school or community settings. Conclusion: It offers a practical approach to promoting emotional balance and enhancing life satisfaction among adolescents, particularly those in resource-limited boarding school environments. This study highlights the importance of integrating bibliotherapy into adolescent health programs, particularly in religious educational settings, to enhance psychological well-being and promote resilient youth.

Abstract

Introduction: The Sigi Regency has long struggled with a high rate of stunting among children in Central Sulawesi. There are multiple factors that play a role in contributing to this issue. Objective: The goal of this study is to examine the various factors that impact stunting in toddlers. Method: To conduct this research, a Case-control study was utilized in the Marawola Health Center Working Area in April and May of 2025. A total of 78 mothers with toddlers participated in the study, providing information through surveys and observations. The data was then analyzed using the Chi Square test with a confidence level of 95%. Result and Discussion: The results revealed that education, exclusive breastfeeding, immunization, and toddler weighing all played a significant role in the prevalence of stunting among toddlers (p value < 0.05). However, factors such as occupation, income, and access to Integrated Health Service Post did not show a significant correlation with stunting (p value > 0.05). Conclusions: It is crucial to take a comprehensive approach to health education, promote exclusive breastfeeding, conduct vaccination campaigns, and regularly monitor the growth of children in order to effectively reduce the prevalence of stunting in young children.

Abstract

Inguinal hernias are classified into two primary types based on their anatomical pathways: direct and indirect inguinal hernias. A direct hernia occurs when the hernia sac protrudes directly through the inguinal (Hesselbach’s) triangle, which is bordered medially by the rectus abdominis muscle, inferiorly by the inguinal ligament, and laterally by the inferior epigastric vessels. This type of hernia may compromise the posterior wall of the inguinal canal. In contrast, an indirect hernia follows the path of the spermatic cord, entering through the deep inguinal ring and extending outside the boundaries of the inguinal triangle. Understanding the anatomical distinctions between these two types is essential for accurate diagnosis, surgical planning, and effective management.

Abstract

Introduction: Fluor albus (vaginal discharge) affects approximately 50% of the female population across almost all age groups. In Indonesia, over 75% of women experience fluor albus at least once in their lifetime. This high prevalence is associated with the country’s humid climate, which facilitates the growth of pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Objective: To identify the factors associated with adolescent girls’ knowledge regarding fluor albus. Method: This study employed a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. Results and Discussion: Of the respondents, 122 adolescent girls (61.0%) demonstrated low knowledge of fluor albus, while 78 (39.0%) showed a high level of knowledge. Bivariate analysis revealed that personal hygiene (p = 0.003), sources of information (p = 0.005), and environmental factors (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with knowledge levels regarding fluor albus. These three variables were identified as significant factors influencing adolescent girls' knowledge. The findings suggest that improving adolescent knowledge requires: (1) enhancement of personal hygiene practices, (2) increased access to accurate and reliable information through various media, and (3) supportive family and social environments. Conclusion: Health education interventions targeting adolescents should adopt a holistic approach, encompassing improvements in personal hygiene, facilitation of access to health information, and the creation of supportive environments.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women is a persistent public health challenge with far-reaching implications for maternal and fetal outcomes. Nutritional interventions without concurrent health education are often inadequate. Objective: This review aims to examine the effectiveness of nutritional and health education strategies in the prevention of CED in pregnant women. Methods: Scoping review was conducted by selecting 10 peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2024, identified through systematic searches in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using predetermined keywords and Boolean operators. Results and Discussion: The review found that integrated interventions—comprising nutrition education, health professional training, and supplementary feeding—significantly reduce CED prevalence. These interventions were most effective when sustained over time, incorporated family, and community engagement, and were embedded within primary healthcare systems. Conclusion: A multidimensional and context-specific approach that blends nutrition and education is vital for the effective prevention of CED in pregnant women. Strengthening policy frameworks and ensuring program sustainability are key to achieving long-term improvements in maternal health.

Abstract

Introduction: Forest and land fires (karhutla) frequently occur in Jambi Province, Indonesia, as indicated by numerous hotspots detected annually. Objective: This study aims to analyze the sources and impacts of karhutla on PM2.5 concentrations, Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), Angstrom Exponent (AE), and the Air Pollutant Standard Index (ISPU) based on in-situ measurements, as well as to establish an empirical relationship between PM2.5 and AOD for application to Terra-Aqua Satellite AOD (MCD19A2). Method: The data for 2022–2024 were analyzed with the support of the HYSPLIT model and Google Earth Engine. Results and Discussion: Results show a significant increase in hotspots during September–October 2023, indicating extensive fires in Jambi and South Sumatra. PM2.5 concentrations surged to 265.6 µg/m³ in September and 307.4 µg/m³ in October, mainly originating from these regions. Air quality deteriorated, with Unhealthy and Very Unhealthy categories increasing to 31.3–40.1% and 1.7–3.2%, respectively, while Hazardous levels reached 0.3–0.4%. AOD at 440 nm peaked at 2.651 during September 4–October 24, 2023, with AE values between 1.51 and 1.57, confirming fine particles from biomass burning. AOD and PM2.5 showed a positive correlation, expressed by the linear regression equation Y = 36.289x + 13.232 (Y = PM2.5, x = AOD 470 nm). Conclusion: Validation of ISPU from MCD19A2 against ISPU from AQMS measurements resulted in an accuracy of 46.96% without distinguishing the type of pollutant, and 61.67% if the determining parameter is PM2.5.

Abstract

Introduction: Spiritual emotional freedom technique (SEFT) is a non-pharmacological intervention that combines spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects through tapping techniques at the body's meridian points to create relaxation and reduce stress. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of SEFT on chest pain in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients at dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital Banda Aceh. Method: This study was a quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest control group design, namely the intervention group and the control group consisting of 17 respondents each. Results and Discussion: The results of the analysis using the wilcoxon Signed-Rank test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in chest pain p=0.001 after the intervention. The analysis of the Mann-Whitney U-test on chest pain also showed a significant difference of p=0.045. These results suggest that SEFT interventions contribute to lowering the physiological response of stress and pain perception in STEMI patients. Conclusions: SEFT is effective in lowering chest pain in STEMI patients, which shows an increased relaxation response of the body so that this technique can be used as a holistic nursing approach. For health workers, especially nurses, the SEFT technique can be an alternative to non-pharmacological interventions that are easy to apply.
