Abstract

Background: Breast milk is the best nutrition for babies and has long-term benefits for both mother and child health. A critical factor in successful breastfeeding is breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE), a mother's confidence in her ability to breastfeed. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test design with a control group and purposive sampling. The sample comprised 60 postpartum mothers: 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group. The intervention involved using the PIANA application for four weeks. Statistical tests were performed using SPSS 26 for univariate and bivariate data analysis. Outcomes were measured using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests to assess whether psychoeducation could increase postpartum mothers' confidence in breastfeeding. Results: Bivariate analyses of the variables were conducted using statistical tests after the application, namely the Midwife's Role variable (p = 0.023), the Psychoeducation variable (p = 0.032), and the BSE variable (p = 0.012). The results of the bivariate analysis of the three variables showed that the Midwife's Role with BSE psychoeducation positively affected postpartum mothers' confidence in breastfeeding. Conclusion: Psychoeducational applications using a mind-body approach have been shown to improve breastfeeding self-efficacy in postpartum mothers. Optimizing the role of midwives through this medium can serve as an effective, flexible educational tool to support postpartum mothers in achieving breastfeeding success.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnancy remains a major cause of maternal complications, low birth weight, and stunting. Although iron–folic acid supplementation is widely implemented, there is a lack of culturally appropriate, food-based interventions using locally available ingredients that can sustainably improve hemoglobin levels in low-resource settings. This gap highlights the need for innovative, community-adaptable nutritional interventions that complement existing programs. The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of Pisbro cookies (banana–broccoli cookies) in improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental two-group pretest–posttest design and followed the TREND reporting guideline. A purposive sampling method was used to recruit 40 pregnant women with mild–moderate anemia from the Sentosa Baru Health Centre, Medan. Inclusion criteria included: (1) confirmed anemia based on Hb examination, (2) gestational age 12–36 weeks, (3) willingness to participate for 30 days, (4) adherence to Fe tablet consumption. Exclusion criteria included pregnancy complications, chronic illness, allergies to ingredients, and incomplete follow-up. The intervention group received 5 Pisbro cookies/day for 30 days, while the control group received routine antenatal care without additional intervention. Hemoglobin levels were measured at baseline and after 30 days using a calibrated hemoglobin meter. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test at α = 0.05. Results: The intervention group showed an increase in mean hemoglobin levels from 9.56 ± 0.48 g/dL to 9.79 ± 0.51 g/dL, while the control group decreased from 9.62 ± 0.47 g/dL to 9.40 ± 0.50 g/dL. The difference between groups was statistically significant (p = 0.019), indicating a positive effect of Pisbro cookies on maternal hemoglobin levels. Conclusion: Pisbro cookies were effective in improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia. As a low-cost, culturally acceptable food-based intervention using locally available ingredients, Pisbro has potential to complement maternal nutrition programs and support anemia and stunting prevention efforts.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is one of the problems in the context of the triple burden of disease. Growth conditions below standard indicate growth obstacles in the child. This research aims to analyse the factors that influence EWS and to evaluate the application of the EWS model in improving nutritional status in toddlers. The purpose of the study is to develop an EWS for nutritional status in children. Methods: This research used an explanatory design to determine EWS; quasi-experimental sampling was randomised (multistage random design) with 180 respondents in stage 1 and 38 respondents in stage 2—inclusion criteria: mothers who have children and are raising their own child.  The research was conducted in the public health sector of Malang Regency. Data collection will be done using a questionnaire for each variable. Data analyzed with Partial Least Square, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and Mann Whitney  The results of this study showed that determining factors of EWS were body weight (X1.3), height (X1.4), birth length (X1.6), history of infection (X1.7), minimal weight gain (X1. 11), participation in integrated health service (X2.2), history of maternal infection (X3.2), birth interval (X3.3), land use (X4.2), food hygiene (X5.2), complementary feeding (X6. 1), responsive feeding (X6.2).. Results: The EWS model's effectiveness is associated with minimal weight gain in children (ρ<0.001), but not with nutritional status (ρ=1.000) or upper arm circumference (ρ=0.207). Conclusion: It is hoped that the development of this model can be an intervention with an integrated approach to improve the minimal weight gain which in the long term may enhance nutritional status.of children under five.

Abstract

Background: Flexible work shift policies are increasingly adopted to promote employee well-being and productivity. However, empirical evidence regarding their impact on burnout and job performance among non-medical hospital staff in Indonesia remains limited, creating a gap in understanding how such policies function in this context. This study aimed to analyse the effects of flexible work-shift policies on burnout and performance among administrative staff at Medan Adventist Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational design was used, following the STROBE reporting guideline, involving 50 administrative employees selected through saturated sampling. Instruments included the Flexible Work Shift Questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and a performance questionnaire based on Robbins’ theory. All tools demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. Data analysis employed Pearson correlation with a significance level of p < 0.05, accompanied by effect size (r²) calculations. Results: Flexible work shifts were negatively associated with burnout (r = –0.512, p = 0.001, r² = 0.26) and positively associated with performance (r = 0.628, p < 0.001, r² = 0.39). Burnout also showed a negative correlation with performance (r = –0.473, p = 0.002, r² = 0.22).. Conclusion: Flexible work shift policies significantly reduce burnout and enhance job performance. These findings highlight the value of structured, well-supervised flexibility as an evidence-based HR strategy that supports employee well-being and strengthens hospital operational quality.

Abstract

Background: Timely management in the emergency department (ED) is critical for patient safety and quality of care. Prolonged Length of Stay (LOS) in the ED, often linked to delays in patient processing, can lead to poor outcomes, particularly in high-risk populations. This study aims to explore the time-related factors influencing LOS using the Time Range Guidance Model. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, analysing 377 patient records from June to August 2025. Data were extracted from electronic medical records (EMR), focusing on time intervals for initial assessment, review/consultation, and transfer phases. Multivariate regression was used to identify the factors influencing LOS. Results: The review/consultation time (β = 0.3, p < 0.001) and transfer waiting time (β = 0.356, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of LOS. The model explained 22.6% of the variability in LOS (Adjusted R² = 0.226). Initial assessment time did not significantly correlate with LOS (r = 0.045, p = 0.321). Conclusion: Delays in the review/consultation and transfer phases have a greater impact on ED LOS than the initial assessment. These findings suggest that optimizing these phases can improve ED efficiency and patient outcomes, particularly in resource-constrained settings such as Indonesia.
