Abstract

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a condition of fetal growth disorders associated with an increased risk of neurological disorders due to neuroinflammatory activation. Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is known to have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, but its mechanisms in IUGR conditions are still not fully understood. This study aims to analyze the effect of saffron extract administration on spatial memory and neuroinflammatory responses in IUGR rat pups. This study was a true experimental study with a post-test only control group design. Wistar rats were divided into three groups: normal (K1), IUGR with 50% dietary restriction (K2), and IUGR with saffron administration of 15.68 mg/kgBW/day (K3). Spatial memory was measured using the Y-maze test (spontaneous alternation). Neuroinflammatory parameters included TNF-α and IL-1β levels (ELISA) and NF-κB expression (immunohistochemistry). Data analysis used the Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman tests (r< 0.05). The results showed that there was no significant difference in spatial memory between groups (r> 0.05), although there was a trend towards an increase in the saffron group. However, TNF-α and IL-1β levels and NF-κB expression increased in the IUGR group and decreased significantly after saffron administration. It was concluded that saffron has a neuroprotective effect through modulating neuroinflammation by reducing proinflammatory cytokines and NF-κB activation, although it did not provide significant improvements in spatial memory.

Abstract

Background: Critical thinking is essential for nursing students to provide safe, evidence-based, and patient-centered care. Methods: This cross-sectional study described and compared critical thinking abilities among students in the Diploma III (D-3), Bachelor of Nursing (S-1), and Professional Nursing (Ners) programs at Institut Kesehatan Payung Negeri Pekanbaru. Of 521 eligible students, 493 participated, resulting in a 94.6% response rate. Data were collected using the N-CT-4 Students questionnaire and analyzed with the Kruskal–Wallis and Pearson’s chi-square tests. Result: Nearly half of the students (49.7%) demonstrated a moderate level of critical thinking. The educational program was not significantly associated with the critical thinking category, χ²(4) = 8.288, p = 0.082, Cramer’s V = 0.092. No significant differences were found across programs in the personal (p = 0.104), intellectual and cognitive (p = 0.408), interpersonal and self- management (p = 0.620), or technical dimensions (p = 0.673), with negligible effect sizes (rank ε² = 0.0016–0.0092). Conclusion: suggest that the three programs had similar critical thinking profiles at the time of measurement. Longitudinal studies using objective assessments are recommended to evaluate the development of critical thinking throughout nursing education.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension remains a significant cardiovascular health issue, especially in rural communities. Dietary interventions rich in potassium, antioxidants, and probiotics may offer supportive, non- pharmacological options in complementary nursing care. This study evaluated blood pressure changes after consuming a smoothie containing bananas, strawberries, yogurt, and honey in patients with hypertension Methods: Using a quasi-experimental, single-group pretest–posttest design, 18 participants were recruited through consecutive sampling. Each participant consumed 250 mL of the standardized smoothie daily for seven days. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention with a calibrated digital sphygmomanometer, following a standardized resting protocol. The Shapiro–Wilk test assessed normality of paired differences, and paired- samples t-tests compared pre- and post-intervention blood pressure Result: included 95% confidence intervals and Cohen’s d effect sizes. Mean systolic blood pressure decreased by 14.05 mmHg, from 155.72 ± 10.45 mmHg to 141.67 ± 9.82 mmHg (p < 0.001; 95% CI: 9.52–18.58; Cohen’s d = 1.38). Mean diastolic blood pressure decreased by 6.44 mmHg, from 99.72 ± 7.65 mmHg to 93.28 ± 6.41 mmHg (p = 0.002; 95% CI: 2.81–10.07; Cohen’s d = 0.91). These results suggest that seven days of smoothie consumption was associated with significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure Conclusion: However, due to the single-group design and small sample size, randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm causal effectiveness and address potential confounding factors.

Abstract

Background: High clinical workloads in referral hospital settings escalate physical and psychological demands, rendering nursing professionals vulnerable to operational stress and career burnout, which collectively undermine care quality. Self-efficacy is a pivotal internal cognitive resource for managing professional stability, clinical decision-making, and job satisfaction. This study evaluated the effects of a structured self-efficacy training program grounded in Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory on the clinical performance and job satisfaction of staff nurses. Methods: quantitative, quasi-experimental study using a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was conducted at Santo Antonius Hospital, Pontianak. A sample of 68 clinical nurses was selected via stratified random sampling across 11 inpatient units and allocated into either an intervention cohort (n = 34), which completed a structured 4-session self- efficacy training program based on Bandura's four sources of efficacy, or a control cohort (n = 34), which maintained routine operational duties. Data were gathered using the validated General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Nurse Performance Questionnaire, and Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). Data were analyzed using independent-samples t-tests and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to control for baseline differences. Result: Baseline analysis confirmed demographic and psychometric homogeneity between groups before the intervention (p > 0.05). ANCOVA models revealed that the training intervention was significantly associated with post-test improvements across all dependent variables. After controlling for the covariate(s), the training had a statistically significant effect on nurses’ self-efficacy (F = 4.453, p = 0.039, ηp² = 0.064), with a medium effect size. The largest intervention effect was observed for clinical nursing performance (F = 29.462, p < 0.001, ηp² = 0.312), representing a large effect size. A statistically significant effect was also found for job satisfaction (F = 10.256, p = 0.002, ηp² = 0.136), with a medium-to-large effect size. Conclusion: Structured, Bandura-based self-efficacy training effectively enhances nurses' self-belief, clinical performance quality, and job satisfaction within demanding referral hospital environments. Hospital administrators should prioritize integrating structured psychological resilience and efficacy- building frameworks into continuous human resource development policies to foster clinical excellence and staff well-being.

Abstract

Background: This scoping review examines the influence of household financial management competence, delivered or facilitated by community nurses, as a supporting factor in the effectiveness of health promotion programs. The review maps conceptual linkages among financial literacy, household budgeting behavior, community empowerment, and health promotion outcomes within community-based settings. Employing Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, the study proceeded through five stages: identifying research questions, identifying relevant studies, study selection, data charting, and synthesizing results. Literature published between 2019 and 2024 in English or Indonesian was included. The findings demonstrate that financial management competence improves household readiness to adopt health recommendations, alleviates financial stress, and increases adherence to preventive health behaviors. Community nurses are instrumental in integrating financial literacy into health counseling, which enables families to allocate resources more effectively for nutrition, maternal and child health, and disease prevention. The review concludes that household financial competence is a critical yet frequently overlooked determinant of the effectiveness of health promotion. Enhancing nurses’ financial education skills is recommended to optimize community health outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis continues to pose a significant global public health challenge, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Adverse environmental conditions within households, including inadequate lighting, elevated humidity, insufficient ventilation, and overcrowding, have been identified as factors that may elevate the risk of tuberculosis transmission. Methods: This study employed an analytic observational approach with a case–control design in the Perumnas Simalingkar Public Health Center area of Medan, Indonesia. A total of 128 participants were included: 64 pulmonary tuberculosis cases and 64 controls, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved direct observation and measurement of housing environmental conditions using a lux meter, a hygrometer, and a roll meter, in accordance with the Indonesian Ministry of Health's healthy housing standards. Result: The variables assessed were lighting, humidity, ventilation area, and housing density. Statistical analysis was conducted using the chi-square test (significance level p < 0.05) and Odds Ratio (OR) to estimate risk. The findings indicated that all assessed housing environmental factors were significantly associated with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Specifically, inadequate lighting (p=0.002; OR=3.477), unsuitable humidity (p=0.005; OR=3.151), insufficient ventilation area (p=0.007; OR=2.943), and overcrowded housing density (p=0.007; OR=2.943) were significantly linked to increased risk. Conclusion: These results underscore that poor housing environmental conditions contribute to the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract

Background: Seven-Jumps Problem-Based Learning (PBL) tutorials are commonly implemented in nursing education to foster active learning, critical reasoning, and collaborative problem-solving. However, evidence on factors influencing students’ perceptions of tutorial effectiveness remains limited in Indonesian nursing education. Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. The quantitative phase included 70 fourth-semester undergraduate nursing students and utilized the Tutorial Group Effectiveness Instrument developed by Dolmans and colleagues. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. Subsequently, eight students were purposively selected for semi-structured interviews to elaborate on the quantitative findings. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Result: Cognitive engagement (β = 1.098; t = 11.047; p < 0.001), academic motivation (β = 1.269; t = 9.380; p < 0.001), and demotivational experiences (β = 1.125; t = 9.262; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with perceived tutorial effectiveness. Collectively, these predictors accounted for 89.5% of the variance. Qualitative findings highlighted independent learning, increased confidence, critical analysis, and collaborative discussion, as well as challenges such as unequal participation, anxiety, prolonged discussion, difficulty accessing scientific references, and dependence on the facilitator. Conclusion: Cognitive and motivational engagement, along with experiences of demotivating conditions, were closely associated with perceived tutorial effectiveness. Given the cross-sectional and self-report design, these findings should not be interpreted as evidence of causal educational effectiveness. Enhancing tutor facilitation, promoting equitable participation, supporting information literacy, and fostering psychological safety may improve tutorial experiences.

Abstract

Background: Central Sulawesi is one of the most disaster-prone regions in Indonesia. In Sigi Regency, Beka Village experienced repeated floods between 2018 and 2021, while post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction following the 2018 disaster reached only 70.77 percent, leading to the issuance of Central Sulawesi Governor Regulation No. 4 of 2022. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of rehabilitation and reconstruction policies in Beka Village. Methods: A qualitative case study approach was used involving informants from the Sigi Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, and the Beka Village Government. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews, and analyzed using content analysis with triangulation techniques. Result: The findings show that policy communication and clarity were generally adequate, although consistency among implementing agencies remained limited. Human resources, budgets, and facilities were sufficient, while leadership commitment and employee incentives supported implementation. However, weaknesses were identified in the bureaucratic structure, particularly the absence of sanctions for SOP violations and the lack of specific SOPs for rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. Conclusion: The implementation of Central Sulawesi Governor Regulation No. 4 of 2022 has not been fully effective, especially regarding communication and SOP availability. Improved coordination among implementing agencies is needed to accelerate rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts.

Abstract

Background: The increasingly diverse cultural environment in hospitals brings together nurses with varied cultural, linguistic, value-based, and educational backgrounds. This diversity increases the complexity of professional interactions and can lead to conflict, particularly due to differences in perception and communication. The present study explores nurses' experiences with conflict management in culturally diverse hospital settings. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological design was employed, with 12 purposively selected nurse participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Result: Three main themes emerged: interpersonal differences, relational consequences, and adaptive conflict management. Interpersonal differences encompassed communication breakdowns as well as personal and sociocultural disparities. Relational consequences included both negative outcomes, such as disrupted nursing care and strained workplace relationships, and positive outcomes, such as the development of stronger relationships. Adaptive conflict management strategies involved self- regulation, dialogic communication, rational appraisal, and seeking support. Conclusion: The findings suggest that in culturally diverse contexts, conflict can serve not only as a source of tension but also as an opportunity to foster mutual understanding. Effective communication, emotional regulation, and organizational support are critical factors in constructively managing conflict.
