Abstract

Background: The increase in cases of malnutrition among elementary school children is caused by high-energy, low-fiber diets, inactive lifestyles, environments that encourage fast food consumption, and a lack of nutrition education. This study aims to analyze risk factors for overweight among elementary school students.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design conducted on April 20-21, 2025, at SDN 104219 Tanjung Anom. The research subjects were all grades IV and V students, totaling 52 people, who were selected using the total sampling technique. The independent variables consisted of fast food, sweet food, snack food, fruit and vegetable consumption, and physical activity. The dependent variable was overweight. Food consumption data were collected using the 2×24-Hour Recall method (school days and weekends) to obtain a more accurate picture of average intake. Physical activity was measured with the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C). Data analysis using the Chi-square test and logistic regression.Results: Fast food consumption (p < 0.001; OR = 10.8; 95% CI = 2.512-46.423), consumption of sweets (p < 0.001; OR = 23.8; 95% CI = 4.383-126.670), snack consumption (p < 0.001; OR = 15.4; 95% CI = 2.898-25.959) has a significant association with overweight of school children. Fruit and vegetable consumption (p = 0.509; OR = 0.66; 95% CI = 0.187-2.302), physical activity (p = 0.238; OR = 0.47; 95% CI = 0.135-1.657) showed no significant association with overweight of school children.Conclusion: Eating fast food, sweet foods, and snacks more than three times a week is a risk factor for overweight in elementary school children.

Abstract

Background: Labor pain and anxiety, primarily caused by uterine contractions, are common experiences during childbirth and can lead to complications if not properly managed. Non-pharmacological methods such as endorphin massage and nutmeg aromatherapy offer promising alternatives for pain and anxiety reduction. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of endorphin massage in combination with nutmeg aromatherapy in reducing pain and anxiety during the active phase of the first stage of labor.Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was employed. The intervention group received endorphin massage alongside nutmeg aromatherapy, while the control group was given nutmeg aromatherapy alone. A total of 52 laboring women in the active phase of first-stage labor at Labuha Regional Hospital during May–June 2025 were recruited using purposive sampling, with 26 participants in each group. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation sheets. Descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, and both paired and unpaired statistical tests were utilized. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess group differences.Results: In the control group, Wilcoxon tests showed significant reductions in both pain (p = 0.000) and anxiety levels (p = 0.000) following the aromatherapy intervention. The treatment group demonstrated a significantly greater reduction in pain (Z = -6.102, p = 0.000) and anxiety (Z = -3.074, p = 0.002) compared to the control group, indicating the added benefit of endorphin massage.Conclusion: The combination of endorphin massage and nutmeg aromatherapy is effective in significantly reducing labor-related pain and anxiety. This method may be recommended as a supportive non-pharmacological intervention to enhance maternal comfort and care quality during labor, particularly by midwives.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a leading cause of maternal mortality globally and in Indonesia. A key contributing factor is the lack of maternal preparedness in recognizing danger signs and responding promptly. Antenatal education, particularly through structured programs such as the Pregnant Women Class, is a strategic intervention to enhance maternal knowledge and readiness. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of antenatal class education in improving maternal preparedness in facing postpartum hemorrhage in Bangun Rejo Village in 2025.Methods: A pre-experimental study using a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted in Bangun Rejo Village from May to June 2025. Thirty third-trimester pregnant women were selected through purposive sampling. Participants attended a 90-minute antenatal class session focused on postpartum hemorrhage, delivered through lectures, discussions, and visual media. Preparedness was measured using a standardized questionnaire before and one week after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Paired T-Test with a significance level of p < 0.05.Results: The mean preparedness score increased from 62.40 (±8.215) before the intervention to 78.73 (±6.542) after, with a mean difference of 16.33 (±7.49). The statistical analysis showed a significant improvement (p = 0.000). Additionally, the number of mothers with high preparedness increased from 0% to 73.3% post-intervention.Conclusion: Antenatal class education significantly improves maternal preparedness to face postpartum hemorrhage. This intervention enhances not only knowledge but also awareness, decision-making ability, and proactive behavior among pregnant women. It is recommended to integrate such educational strategies more broadly into maternal health services to reduce preventable maternal deaths.

Abstract

Background: Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are health problems frequently experienced by workers with repetitive and strenuous physical activities, such as manually transporting water gallons at water depots. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between individual factors (age, work duration, and length of service) and ergonomic factors (work posture) with the incidence of MSDs among water depot workers in Indra Kasih Village, Medan City.Methods: This study used quantitative methods with a total sampling of 40 respondents, using questionnaires and direct observation. Data analysis was performed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square test), and multivariate methods.Results: The results showed that 25 respondents (62.9%) were diagnosed with MSDs, while 15 respondents (37.5%) were undiagnosed. No significant association was found between age (p=0.622), length of service (p=0.722), or length of service (p=1.000) with the incidence of MSDs. However, there was a significant association between work posture and MSDs (p=0.005, OR=7.071).Conclusion: These findings indicate that unergonomic work postures significantly increase the risk of MSDs. This study recommends ergonomic interventions, the provision of lifting aids, and regular training for workers to minimize the risk of MSDs.

Abstract

Background: Clinical success in HIV/AIDS patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy (ART) is influenced by various factors, including treatment adherence, regular follow-up visits, and monitoring of clinical outcomes such as weight gain and the absence of opportunistic infections (OIs). Opportunistic infections are considered a key indicator of ART failure and are strongly associated with advanced disease stages and low CD4 counts. This study aimed to analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of HIV/AIDS patients and evaluate the relationship between body weight and the incidence of opportunistic infections in patients receiving ART.Methods: This cross-sectional study used retrospective data from 95 HIV/AIDS patients collected through consecutive sampling. Data included demographic variables (gender, age, marital status, education, occupation), clinical stage (WHO), CD4 count, body weight, ART regimen, and opportunistic infections. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, with a p-value ≤0.05 considered statistically significant.Results: Most patients were male (52.6%) and in the productive age range of 25–46 years (74.7%). The majority were married (54.7%), had low educational attainment, and were employed (76.8%). Clinically, 88.4% were at WHO stage III, and 80% had CD4 counts <350 cells/mm³. Low body weight (<60 kg) was found in 93.7% of patients. Opportunistic infections occurred in 26.3% of patients. A statistically significant association was found between body weight and opportunistic infections (p = 0.041). However, the OR of 1.086 (95% CI: 0.479–2.464) indicated no clinically significant difference in the risk of opportunistic infections between patients with body weight <60 kg and those >60 kg.Conclusion: Although low body weight was statistically associated with opportunistic infections, it did not present a significantly increased clinical risk. Nonetheless, opportunistic infections among patients highlights the importance of early intervention, nutritional support, and timely initiation of ART to improve treatment outcomes in HIV/AIDS management.

Abstract

Background: Pharmaceutical services are a vital component of the healthcare system, with pharmacies serving not only as sources of medication but also as centers for drug-related consultation. Kediri City, one of the major cities in East Java, has a population of approximately 295,230 people and an area of 63.4 km², with 156 pharmacies distributed across its regions. However, the uneven distribution of pharmacies may affect public access to pharmaceutical services. This study aimed to analyze the impact of pharmacy distribution on community access to pharmaceutical services in Kediri City.Methods: A quantitative approach was employed using data from the local Health Office, field observations, and a survey of 102 respondents across three districts.Result: The results reveal that areas with a higher number of strategically located pharmacies enjoy better access to pharmaceutical services, whereas regions with fewer pharmacies experience access barriers, such as longer travel time, limited service availability, and lower patient satisfaction.Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of regulation and oversight in pharmacy distribution to ensure equitable access to services across all areas. Limitations of the study include a limited number of respondents, simple random sampling without stratification, and constrained observational scope. The study recommends policy development for pharmacy distribution based on regional needs to improve access and quality of pharmaceutical services in Kediri City.
