Abstract

Background: The Prolanis Program at the Suak Ribee Health Center includes monthly health education, biannual supporting examinations, pharmaceutical services (DRR), group exercise sessions, and home visit activities. This study aimed to identify the determinants influencing the utilization of the BPJS Health Prolanis program at the Suak Ribee Health Center.Method: The research was conducted from January 7 to February 7, 2025, involving 66 randomly selected participants using a quantitative cross-sectional design. Data were analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression..Result: The results revealed that age (p = 0.048), gender (p = 0.003, OR = 6.167), knowledge (p = 0.042, OR = 3.630), the role of health workers (p = 0.015, OR = 4.750), and family support (p = 0.045, OR = 3.600) were significantly associated with the utilization of Prolanis. Education level, however, showed no significant effect (p = 0.374, OR = 1.875). Gender emerged as the most dominant factor (p = 0.002, OR = 8.930).Conclusion: n conclusion, age, gender, knowledge, the role of health workers, and family support influence the utilization of the Prolanis program, whereas education does not. It is recommended that the Suak Ribee Health Center increase male participation in Prolanis, for example by organizing exercise sessions on weekends or in the afternoon, and by conducting home visits as a separate program to better target less active participants

Abstract

Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are global public health challenges that frequently coexist due to overlapping metabolic and inflammatory pathways. This narrative review examines the bidirectional relationship between these conditions and evaluates multidisciplinary strategies for integrated prevention and management. Using literature from Scopus and ScienceDirect (2014–2024), the review includes studies that explore pathophysiological connections, lifestyle-based and pharmacological interventions, and public health policy innovations. The findings highlight the central role of visceral adiposity in insulin resistance and beta-cell failure, necessitating integrated treatment approaches. Multidisciplinary programs that combine dietary, behavioral, and technological interventions show promising outcomes in both weight and glycemic control. Policy interventions such as sugar-sweetened beverage taxation and front-of-pack labeling have contributed to improved population-level health behavior. Furthermore, community-based strategies, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), offer culturally relevant and scalable solutions. Despite these successes, challenges remain in achieving sustainability, ensuring equitable access, and adapting interventions to local contexts. This review underscores the need for harmonized clinical, behavioral, and policy approaches, and calls for further research into long-term outcomes, scalability, and cost-effectiveness of integrated strategies for addressing the dual burden of obesity and diabetes

Abstract

Wound care in postoperative fracture patients is a crucial aspect in the healing process and prevention of complications. Poorly treated postoperative wounds can lead to infection, delayed healing, and impaired limb function. This study aims to provide an overview of wound care practices applied to postoperative fracture patients, including procedures, frequency, patient and family involvement, and obstacles faced during care. The method used was a descriptive study with a quantitative approach through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with fracture patients undergoing outpatient and inpatient care. The results showed that most patients received wound care according to standards, but there were still obstacles in self-education, compliance with control schedules, and limited family knowledge about signs of infection. The conclusion of this study emphasises the importance of improving systematic and continuous wound care education to support the healing process and improve patient independence.

Abstract

Background: Diarrheal diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) has been widely recognized as an effective strategy to prevent the transmission of diarrheal diseases in this vulnerable population.Method: This study employed a structured literature review to evaluate the role of CHLB in reducing the incidence of diarrhea among children under five. Articles were sourced from leading peerreviewed journals published between 2018 and 2024, with a focus on CHLB practices including handwashing with soap, access to clean water, proper sanitation, and health education.Result: Findings indicate that consistent implementation of CHLB interventions especially handwashing and the use of proper sanitation facilities can reduce diarrhea risk by up to 47%. The review also identified significant challenges in CHLB adoption, particularly in remote and underdeveloped areas. These challenges include limited infrastructure, low levels of public awareness, and socioeconomic barriers.Conclusion: The promotion and implementation of CHLB significantly contribute to preventing diarrheal diseases among children under five in Indonesia. Sustained support from government sectors, infrastructure investment, and public health education are essential to overcoming existing barriers. A multi-stakeholder approach is critical to reduce the disease burden, improve child health outcomes, and achieve national child survival goals

Abstract

Background:Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder marked by airway inflammation, narrowing, edema, and excessive mucus production, resulting in impaired ventilation and ineffective airway clearance. Effective interventions are essential to alleviate symptoms and optimize respiratory function. Nebulizer therapy and pursed-lip breathing are widely employed to manage asthma symptoms; however, the synergistic impact of these two modalities remains underexplored.Methods:This case study involved a patient with a clinical diagnosis of asthma presenting with acute shortness of breath. The intervention protocol consisted of 10 minutes of nebulizer therapy followed by 5 minutes of pursed-lip breathing. Clinical parameters oxygen saturation (SpO?), respiratory rate, heart rate, sputum consistency, adventitious breath sounds, and dyspnea scale were measured before and after the intervention.Results and Discussion: Post-intervention assessment revealed notable clinical improvements. Oxygen saturation increased from 89% to 96%, respiratory rate declined from 37 to 24 breaths per minute, and heart rate decreased from 127 to 98 beats per minute. Additionally, sputum consistency became thinner, adventitious sounds such as wheezing and rhonchi subsided, and the dyspnea scale improved from level 2 (moderate) to level 0 (normal). These findings suggest that the combined application of nebulizer therapy and pursed-lip breathing enhances airway patency, reduces respiratory distress, and improves ventilation. Conclusion: The combined use of nebulizer therapy and pursed-lip breathing technique proved effective in improving airway clearance and respiratory function in an asthma patient, indicating potential for broader clinical application in acute asthma care.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health threat in South Aceh, Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the DHF control program at Lhok Bengkuang Health Center using input, process, output, outcome indicators. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted from December 2024 to January 2025. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with officers from the South Aceh Health Office, the health center chief, program coordinators, and affected community members. Thematic analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s approach. Triangulation and member checking ensured data validity. DHF cases declined from 22 in 2023 to 7 in 2024. Control activities included source reduction (PSN), larviciding, fogging, health education, epidemiological investigations, and vector surveys. However, the Larvae Free Index (ABJ) remained below the national target of 95%. This indicates partial effectiveness, constrained by limited entomology staff and inadequate personal protective equipment for fogging. Strengthening resources and aligning local implementation with national standards are essential to sustain progress. The DHF control program effectively reduced cases but requires reinforced human resources, adequate equipment, and improved community engagement to meet national targets

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a progressive and irreversible condition that leads to a decline in kidney function, requiring renal replacement therapy. The intensive and prolonged treatment process often results in fatigue, which is one of the most common problems in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Elevated urea levels affect erythropoietin production, resulting in decreased red blood cell count or anemia (low hemoglobin levels), leading to energy and protein loss, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, and reduced creatinine production—contributing to decreased skeletal energy production, fatigue, and weakness. Despite the frequent pharmacological interventions, fatigue management is often inadequate due to lack of energy, limiting patients' ability to perform therapeutic activities. One of the easiest and most efficient complementary therapies is lavender aromatherapy, which does not interfere with pharmacological treatments. However, it remains underutilized. In 2022, 143 CKD patients in one hospital presented with fatigue complaints, often leading to repeated care episodes. This case study aims to analyze the application of lavender aromatherapy in reducing fatigue levels in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis.Methods: This study used a case study design with a pre-post test approach involving 3 patients selected through simple random sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through direct observation using the FACIT-Fatigue Scale.Results: The results showed a reduction in fatigue levels in all three patients. Initially, they exhibited severe fatigue. After three days of lavender aromatherapy, fatigue levels decreased to mild. Conclusion: The application of lavender aromatherapy led to a decrease in fatigue levels, suggesting that it can be an effective supportive intervention.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease development from acute kidney failure that is progressive and slow which usually lasts for a long time, causing the kidneys to lose their ability to maintain the composition and amount of fluid in a normal state. Hemodialysis is a therapy that can improve the condition of patients with chronic kidney failure, but on the other hand this treatment method also makes patients have to face various problems, one of which is fatigue. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Progressive muscle relaxation on the level of fatigue in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The method used in this intervention study was a case study with a quantitative descriptive approach by evaluating the implementation of the Progressive muscle relaxation intervention. The instrument for measuring the level of fatigue used the FACIT-fatigue scale questionnaire. The results of this study showed that in the initial assessment the patient experienced severe fatigue with a score of 11 and after being given Progressive muscle relaxation intervention, the patient's fatigue score became 24, which is moderate fatigue. From the results of this study it can be concluded that there is an effect of giving Progressive muscle relaxation on reducing the level of fatigue in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) during pregnancy can interfere with physical activity, sleep patterns, and quality of life. One safe and effective therapy to relieve it is prenatal gentle yoga. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prenatal gentle yoga on the level of LBP in pregnant women at Hulonthalangi Health Center. The research design used quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest control group. A total of 24 pregnant women were divided into two groups, those are intervention (prenatal gentle yoga) and control (educational leaflet). The prenatal gentle yoga intervention was carried out over four sessions, with a frequency of twice a week, and each session lasted for 30 to 45 minutes.Test results of independent t-test showed an average difference in pain of -2.83 points with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), which means there was a significant decrease in pain in the intervention group. Around 83.3% respondents in the intervention group experienced a decrease in pain from moderate and severe pain to mild and no pain, while the control group only had 33.3%. This study shows that prenatal gentle yoga is significantly effective in reducing Low back pain (LBP) in pregnant women.
