Abstract

Background: Diabetic ulcers are a long-standing problem of diabetes mellitus; in most cases, healing is challenging because of hyperglycemia, vasculopathy, or infection. The objective of this trial is to compare the therapeutic efficacy of a combination of modern dressings, infrared therapy, and ozone treatment with that of the conventional method in diabetic wounds. Methods: In terms of research design, a non-equivalent pretest-posttest quasi-experimental one-group/three-stage comparison was utilized. The sample included 30 participants, divided into two groups: 15 in the intervention group (modern dressing combined with infrared and ozone) and the rest in the control group receiving only modern dressing. Wound closure was assessed by the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BJAWT). The Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: The difference was significant in the intervention group but not in the control group. The between-group difference was also significant, with a medium effect size (0.715). The combined use of therapy exerted a synergistic effect, attributed to the preservation of wound moisture, the improvement of tissue perfusion and oxygenation, as well as a decline in bacterial count. Conclusion: It was suggested that integrating modern dressings, infrared, and ozone approaches can significantly promote tissue re-regulation in diabetic ulcer patients and should be considered a supplement therapy in wound nursing decisions.

Abstract

Background: Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) require routinehemodialysis. Long-term hemodialysis often leads to physical, psychological, and socioeconomic challenges that reduce quality of life. Religious and spiritual coping mechanisms represent important adaptive strategies for managing chronic illness and improving well- being. This study investigates the relationship between religious coping strategies and quality of life in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 80 patients receiving hemodialysis therapy. Participants were recruited through accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation tests to assess the relationship between religious coping and quality of life across four domains:physical, psychological, social, and environmental. Result: The results indicated that patients employing positive religious coping experienced significantly better quality of life across all domains (p < 0.005). Conversely, patients using negative religious coping demonstrated lower quality of life in these domains (p < 0.005). Conclusion: These findings emphasize that religious coping functions as a psychosocial resource for patients undergoing hemodialysis. Incorporating coaching interventions grounded in religious coping into nursing care may enhance patients' quality of life with End-Stage Renal Disease(ESRD).

Abstract

Background: Stroke continues to be a leading cause of mortality and long- term disability, especially in low- and middle-income countries where hypertension is both highly prevalent and frequently inadequately managed. Behavioral modification is essential for reducing stroke risk; however, the association between knowledge and preventive practices in rural primary care settings has not been sufficiently examined within a theoretical framework. This study analyzed the relationship between knowledge of stroke risk factors and stroke prevention behaviors among hypertensive patients at a rural Indonesian primary healthcare center, utilizing the Health Belief Model. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 120 hypertensive patients participating in a chronic disease management program. Knowledge and preventive behaviors were measured using structured questionnaires adapted from validated instruments with established reliability. Data analysis employed Spearman’s rank correlation and partial correlation, controlling for age and education. Results: Results demonstrated a significant positive association between knowledge and stroke prevention behaviors (r = 0.710, p = 0.001), indicating a strong correlation. After adjustment, the association remained significant (r = 0.648, p = 0.004), reflecting a moderate-to-strong relationship. Conclusion: These results indicate that enhancing theory-informed educational strategies in primary care may improve stroke prevention efforts among hypertensive patients in rural areas.

Abstract

Postoperative pain following laparotomy remains a significant challenge, with 58-60% of patients experiencing moderate to severe pain despite standard pharmacological management. Music therapy has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological intervention. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing pain intensity among patients following laparotomy surgery. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted at RSUD Daya Kota Makassar, Indonesia, from April 1 to April 30, 2025. A total of 34 post-laparotomy patients were recruited using total sampling. Inclusion criteria were adults aged ≥18 years on postoperative day 1, literate, able to communicate in Indonesian, and willing to participate. Exclusion criteria included severe pain (NRS 7-10), recent analgesic use (<2 hours), or continuous analgesic administration. Participants received classical music therapy via headphones for 10-20 minutes daily over three consecutive days. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. The mean pain intensity decreased significantly from 4.76 ± 1.18 at baseline to 2.29 ± 0.87 post-intervention (Z = -5.188, p .000), representing a mean reduction of 2.47 points. The distribution of pain categories shifted substantially, with mild pain increasing from 20.6% to 88.2%, while moderate pain decreased from 79.4% to 11.8% following the intervention. The significant reduction in pain scores supports the integration of music therapy as a safe, accessible, and cost-effective complementary approach to standard postoperative pain management protocols in clinical practice.

Abstract

Background: Microplastics are a major component of marine debris, andtheir accumulation in aquatic environments can disrupt marine food chains,particularly in fish. Mangindara Village, South Galesong District, TakalarRegency, is a coastal area currently experiencing severe environmentalpollution, especially from plastic waste and household effluents. This condition raises serious concern, as plastic debris can degrade into microplastics that are not visible to the naked eye, enter marine organisms such as fish, and ultimately pose risks to human health. Methods: This study employed an observational design with a descriptive approach and laboratory analysis to examine the presence, types, and abundance of microplastics in Fish kembung (Rastrelliger sp.) and kurisi (Nemipterus nemurus) collected from the waters of Mangindara Village. The study population consisted of fish kembung and kurisi fish captured in the study area. Samples were selected using random sampling, with three individuals from each species analyzed. Results: The results showed that all examined fish samples contained microplastics. The average microplastic concentration in fish kembung was 0.061 g, whereas kurisi fish exhibited a higher average concentration of 0.085 g. The identified microplastics were predominantly line-shaped and appeared in blue, black, and red colors. Conclusion: These findings indicate widespread microplastic contamination in coastal fish species consumed by local communities. Therefore, reducing single-use plastic use and improving proper waste management practices are strongly recommended.

Abstract

Background: Workload is a critical determinant of nursing performance and healthcare quality, influencing work efficiency, patient safety, and job satisfaction. Despite its importance, evidence regarding these relationships remains inconsistent. This study examined the associations among workload, work efficiency, patient safety, and job satisfaction among nurses Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 136 nurses. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS version 26. Spearman’s rank correlation assessed associations between variables, while the Kruskal–Wallis test compared job satisfaction across workload categories. Ordinal logistic regression identified predictors of job satisfaction. Model diagnostics included assessments of multicollinearity, model fit, pseudo R², and the proportional odds assumption. Results: Workload demonstrated a weak but significant positive association with work efficiency (ρ = 0.290, p < 0.001) and a weak negative association with patient safety (ρ = −0.231, p = 0.007), but was not significantly related to job satisfaction. The Kruskal–Wallis test indicated no significant differences in job satisfaction across workload categories (p = 0.392). Ordinal logistic regression revealed that workload and work efficiency were not significant predictors of job satisfaction (p > 0.05), whereas patient safety was significantly associated with job satisfaction (p < 0.001). The model demonstrated acceptable fit (χ² = 15.452, p = 0.017), modest explanatory power (Nagelkerke R² = 0.182), no multicollinearity (VIF < 5), and satisfied the proportional odds assumption (p = 0.823). Conclusion: Overall, workload is associated with work efficiency and patient safety, although these relationships are weak. Job satisfaction appears to be more closely associated with patient safety than with workload. These findings inform workload management strategies in hospital settings and underscore the importance of strengthening patient safety culture alongside workload regulation.

Abstract

Introduction: Medication adherence is essential for preventing relapse and enhancing the quality of life in individuals with schizophrenia. Despite its importance, consistent adherence remains a significant challenge in outpatient care. The Health Belief Model (HBM) offers a framework for understanding patients’ perceptions of treatment, and family support is critical for sustaining long-term adherence. This study investigated the determinants of medication adherence among schizophrenia outpatients by assessing the influence of HBM constructs and family support in Tangerang Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative analytic cross-sectional design was employed, involving schizophrenia outpatients at three public health centers in Tangerang Regency. Data collection utilized structured questionnaires and interviews to assess medication adherence, HBM constructs, and family support. Statistical analyses included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate approaches. Results indicated that most patients (56%) exhibited moderate medication adherence, with lower (33%) and higher (17%) adherence rates observed in smaller proportions. Significant associations were found between HBM factors and medication adherence, particularly regarding perceived benefits and beliefs about treatment effectiveness. Family support, especially emotional and practical assistance, was also significantly related to adherence. Health belief variables wereidentified as the most influential determinants, followed by family support. Overall, medication adherence among schizophrenia outpatients is primarily influenced by health beliefs and family support systems.

Abstract

Background: The rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) necessitates the development of innovative digital healthcare solutions to improve prevention and self-management. This study developed and evaluated an Android-based application for NCD prevention and management, focusing on feasibility, validity, and reliability. Methods: A research and development (R&D) approach was utilized, comprising four stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The application underwent expert feasibility testing with nursing experts, community specialist physicians, contextual experts, and program managers. Construct validity was determined using item-total correlation (Pearson), and reliability was assessed with Cronbach’s alpha. Additionally, a small-scale user trial with 40 participants evaluated ease of use, appearance, satisfaction, and overall usability using a 17-item Likert-scale instrument. The application achieved high feasibility, with an overall score of 86.4%. Results: All items met established validity and reliability criteria. User testing further indicated strong acceptance, favorable usability, high user satisfaction, and a positive interface evaluation. Conclusion: In summary, the Android-based NCD application is feasible, valid, and reliable for supporting the prevention and management of non- communicable diseases. Larger-scale studies are warranted to assess its effectiveness in improving health behaviors and outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is a choice behavior that is not part of an employee's formal work obligations. OCB is reflected in employees who help fellow employees with extra workloads and who comply with existing workplace regulations and policies. Many factors can shape OCB, including age, length of service, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. This study aims to analyze factors related to organizational citizenship behavior. The research design used in this study is descriptive-analytical with a cross-sectional study approach. The sampling method in this study was purposive, so the number of respondents was 108. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. The data was analyzed using univariate and bivariate Spearman's rho. There is a moderate positivecorrelation (0.42), indicating that older officers tend to show higher OCB, butthe relationship is insignificant (p = 0.679). There is a moderate positive correlation (0.42), indicating that officers with longer work experience are more involved in OCB, but the relationship is not statistically significant (p = 0.679). The strong positive correlation (0.60) indicates that job satisfaction can create high OCB, and p = 0.001 indicates a significant relationship. There is a low negative correlation (-0.203), indicating that high organizational commitment can reduce OCB; p = 0.042 indicates a significant relationship. Age and years of work experience do not have a significant relationship with OCB, whereas job satisfaction and organizational commitment do in health workers.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension remains a significant public health concern and is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries where uncontrolled blood pressure rates are elevated. Non- pharmacological interventions, such as dietary modification, are increasingly recognized as cost-effective strategies for hypertension management. Objective: This scoping review aims to map and synthesize the evidence on the role of dietary modification in hypertension management and control. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet has shown substantial blood pressure–lowering effects in high-income countries; however, its effectiveness, feasibility, and implementation in developing countries have not been comprehensively reviewed. The objective of this scoping review is to identify, synthesize, and describe the available evidence on the effectiveness of the DASH diet in controlling stage 1–2 hypertension in developing countries. Methods: The review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). A scoping literature search was undertaken across multiple electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Studies assessing the DASH diet in relation to blood pressure outcomes, dietary adherence, or cardiometabolic indicators were included. Data were charted and synthesized descriptively based on study characteristics, populations, and key outcomes. Results: Adherence to the DASH diet was consistently linked to clinically significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure among individuals with stage 1–2 hypertension. Several studies also documented improved dietary adherence through community-based and culturally adapted interventions, particularly in low-resource settings. Positive effects on metabolic outcomes, including markers of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and inflammation, were observed across diverse population groups. Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of dietary adherence, cultural adaptation, and community-based implementation to optimize effectiveness. These results support integrating the DASH dietary pattern into public health strategies and primary care services in resource- limited settings. Future research should prioritize long-term outcomes, culturally adapted DASH models, and large-scale implementation studies to enhance the evidence base and inform policy development.
