Abstract

ntroduction: Dehydration can affect body functions related to temperature regulation and blood circulation. Persistent dehydration can lead to fatigue, impaired concentration, and kidney dysfunction. Workers in labor-intensive environments, such as the brickmaking industry, are at a higher risk due to strenuous physical activity and prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Direct sunlight and the brick-firing process further increase the risk of fluid loss, highlighting the need to assess hydration status among brickmaking workers. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 105 brickmaking workers. Individual characteristic factors, worker habit factors, work factors and work environment factors as independent variables, while the dependent variable was hydration status. Hydration status was measured using reagent strips for urinalysis, and other variables were collected through structured interviews using a questionnaire. Data collection was conducted over a period of 14 days. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test and multiple linear regression to identify the most influential factors. Results: The majority of study subjects were severely dehydrated, as indicated by Urine Specific Gravity (USG) measurements ranging from 1021 to 1030. The highest distribution was found in the USG range of 1026–1030, with a percentage of 36.2%. Significant factors associated with hydration status included water consumption (p = 0.000), physical workload (p = 0.000), and clothing use (p = 0.005). Other factors, such as age, nutritional status, work duration, years of experience, and heat stress, did not show a significant relationship with hydration status. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that water consumption had the most significant influence on hydration status (p=0,000). Conclusion: Water consumption significantly impacts hydration status. These findings highlight the need for hydration education and workplace interventions, such as accessible drinking water and awareness programs, to enhance worker safety and health in brickmaking environments.

Abstract

Introduction: Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) can impact both the mother and her baby, leading to a decrease in quality of life, premature delivery, reduced oxytocin levels, developmental disorders in the baby, and incidents of suicide. WHO recommends that PMH screening for postpartum mothers conducted by trained healthcare professionals can reduce the impact caused by PMH. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of training in improving the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of midwives regarding the implementation of Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) screening for postpartum mothers. Methods: The research method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental pre-posttest control group design to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of midwives in conducting Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) screening for postpartum mothers. A total of 60 midwives were sampled and divided into 2 (two) groups, with 30 midwives in each group, the control group and the intervention group. Results: The research results show that the training successfully significantly increased the midwives' knowledge (p-value 0.000). However, the training did not have a significant impact on attitude changes (p-value 0.137) and midwife practices (p-value 0.068). Conclusion:The training provided successfully increased midwives' knowledge regarding perinatal mental health screening, but it has not yet significantly changed their attitudes and practices. This is likely due to the training duration being too short and the evaluation time being insufficient to support sustainable change.

Abstract

Introduction: Mental health in children is crucial for their growth, development, and academic achievement. The high prevalence of mental health disorders in children necessitates efforts to enhance parental knowledge via more accessible channels. This study aims to evaluate parental perceptions of children's mental health and assess the impact of online mental health education on parental knowledge. Methods: A quasi-experimental design using a single-group pre-test and post-test method was conducted with 52 participants. The intervention consisted of synchronouz mental health education delivered via an online meeting platform, with data collected through pre- and post-test evaluations using Google Forms. Results: 53.8% of parents were concerned about their child's mental health, yet 40.4% were unsure about their capacity to recognize symptoms, and 78.8% had never conducted early screening. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test indicated no statistically significant difference in knowledge scores before and after the intervention (p=0.177). However, the mean score increased slightly from 6.71 (SD=1.05) in the pre-test to 6.98 (SD=1.29) in the post-test. The effect size (r = -0.64, 95% CI = [-0.91, -0.37]) shows an impact classified as moderate to large. Conclusion: While many parents are concerned for their children's mental health, many cannot recognize symptoms and have not undertaken early screening. Although statistical significance was not achieved, the observed effect size and knowledge improvement in specific individuals highlights online education's potential to enhance parental understanding of children's mental health. It is imperative to advance the exploration of interactive and adaptable learning strategies to maximize the effectiveness of educational interventions.

Abstract

Introduction: Infant immunization is crucial in reducing mortality and morbidity, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to promote health and well-being. In Indonesia, routine immunization for infants aged 0-12 months includes essential vaccines and newer antigens like PCV and Rotavirus. Maternal beliefs significantly influence immunization completion. This study examines factors affecting mothers' decisions regarding complete immunization in the Banyu Urip Health Center area using the Health Belief Model. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 86 mothers with infants aged 12-24 months to assess immunization completeness during their first year. The study analyzed the relationship between maternal perceptions, such as susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action and immunization behavior. Results: Findings showed a moderate relationship between perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers, and cues to action with immunization behavior. A strong correlation was observed between perceived benefits, self-efficacy, and participation in complete immunization. Mothers with higher risk perception, awareness of severity, strong belief in benefits, and self-efficacy, along with strong cues to action and fewer barriers, were more likely to ensure full immunization for their infants. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of strengthening awareness and reducing barriers to improve immunization rates. Enhancing maternal self-efficacy and addressing perceived obstacles can increase full immunization coverage, ensuring better health outcomes for infants.

Abstract

Introduction: Lower back pain (LBP) is a widespread global issue, with nearly 80% of the population expected to experience at least one episode in their lifetime. Disc herniation is closely linked to disc degeneration, a process accelerated by aging. As individuals age, fibro chondrocytes in the disc undergo senescence, leading to reduced proteoglycan production. This reduction results in disc dehydration and collapse, increasing stress on the annulus fibrosus. Consequently, tears and fissures develop, facilitating the herniation of the nucleus pulposus. Chronic symptoms often emerge gradually due to the repetitive mechanical stress applied to the disc. Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) has been shown to yield better outcomes compared to traditional methods, particularly in terms of reduced blood loss, smaller incisions, and shorter bed rest duration. However, conclusive guidelines comparing endoscopic to open approaches remain limited, underscoring the need for rigorous systematic reviews and risk-of-bias assessments to clarify the relative efficacy and safety profiles of these techniques. Method: We developed the methodology for this systematic review following criteria outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 checklist. Additionally, we conducted a preliminary risk-of-bias assessment for the included studies to ensure more rigorous evaluation of their quality. Result: Both PELD and conventional surgery significantly decrease ODI and VAS scores postoperatively. However, the control group shows a more substantial reduction in scores than the PELD group. Despite this, PELD is effective in treating herniated lumbar discs, offering advantages such as minimal postoperative pain, faster recovery, and reduced blood loss. Due to heterogeneity in outcome measures and follow-up durations across the included studies, a formal meta-analysis was not performed. Conclusion: While PELD appears to improve surgical outcomes and reduce oxidative stress, further high-quality randomized trials are needed to confirm these benefits and establish standardized selection criteria.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity. When an infected individual coughs or sneezes without using a mask or personal protective equipment, transmission occurs, resulting in a rise in TB cases. This is significant because without sufficient measures by the diseased individual, the chance of disease transmission increases. This study aims to evaluate the link between knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour in avoiding TB transmission in the Bantul Health Service Work Area. Methods: This is an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional research methodology. This research included 55 TB patients still being treated at the Health Center of the Bantul Health Service Work Area. This study used a comprehensive sample approach. Data was obtained via a questionnaire, and the results were analyzed using chi-square, logistic regression, and Rasch models. Results: Knowledge (sig: 0.003; OR: 10.334) and attitudes (sig: 0.029; OR: 4.938) are associated with TB prevention behaviour in the Bantul Health Service Work Area. The most manageable behaviour to avoid transmission to those around them is taking medicine regularly and eating healthy food (logit: -2.10), while the most challenging activity is opening the home window (logit: 1.96). Conclusion: Knowledge and attitude are risk factors for preventing TB transmission, thorough education about tuberculosis prevention is required through multiple health promotion media.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent health education is essential for promoting long-term well-being, yet many students lack access to effective and engaging learning approaches. This study evaluates the impact of structured teacher training combined with edutainment-based interventions on improving adolescent health knowledge and behavioral intentions using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in Malang Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative pre-experimental design was used with a pre-test–intervention–post-test structure. The study involved 22 teachers from five schools and 56 junior high school students from SMPN 1 Kepanjen, Malang. The intervention included comprehensive teacher training and interactive edutainment sessions for students, covering topics such as adolescent characteristics, physical activity, assertive communication, and time management. Knowledge changes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The intervention significantly increased knowledge in both groups. Students' average scores improved from 73.2 (pre-test) to 84.4 (post-test) (p < 0.001), while teachers’ scores increased from 69 to 83.4 (p < 0.001). However, no significant changes were observed in students' subjective norms, behavioral control, or behavioral intentions. Conclusion: Combining structured teacher training with edutainment is an effective strategy for enhancing adolescent health knowledge. This approach provides a scalable model for improving health literacy, though further efforts are needed to influence behavioral intentions and self-efficacy.
