Abstract

Background: Indonesia remains one of the countries with the highest tuberculosis (TB) burden globally. In Poso District, the 2023 Case Detection Rate (CDR) reached only 65.87%, still below the national target of 75%. Low case detection contributes to delayed diagnosis, persistent community transmission, and failure to reach TB elimination targets. Objective: To analyze factors associated with the performance of health cadres in detecting TB cases in the working area of Tagolu Primary Health Center, Poso District. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study involved all active health cadres (n=52) selected through total sampling. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires. Variables included fear of infection, stigma, motivation, rewards, and cadre performance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Three variables were significantly associated with cadre performance: fear of TB transmission (p = 0.024), motivation (p = 0.004), and rewards (p = 0.039). Stigma was not significantly associated (p = 0.579). Most cadres had high fear of infection (63.5%), low motivation (57.7%), and perceived rewards as adequate (69.2%). A total of 61.5% demonstrated good performance in TB case detection. Conclusion: Fear of infection, motivation, and rewards are significant determinants of cadre performance in TB case detection. Improving protective equipment availability, strengthening training, and implementing sustainable reward mechanisms are essential to enhance early TB detection in the community

Abstract

Background: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic clinical syndrome characterized by the heart's inability to pump blood effectively, often leading to dyspnea due to pulmonary congestion. The Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT) is a breathing exercise designed to regulate breathing patterns, improve ventilation, and facilitate sputum clearance, which may alleviate dyspnea in CHF patients. To evaluate the effectiveness of ACBT in reducing dyspnea in a CHF patient with an ineffective breathing pattern Methods: A case study design with a nursing care approach was conducted over three days. The patient was assessed through interview and observation. A nursing diagnosis of Ineffective Breathing Pattern (SDKI D.0005) was established. Interventions included Airway Management (SIKI I.01011), semi-Fowler positioning, and ACBT administration for 15 minutes daily. Respiratory rate was measured using an oximeter, and dyspnea complaints were monitored. Results: Before the intervention, the patient complained of dyspnea with a respiratory rate of 28 breaths/minute, using accessory muscles and nasal flaring. After three days of ACBT intervention, the respiratory rate decreased to 20 breaths/minute, and the patient reported no further dyspnea. Conclusion: The ACBT intervention was effective in reducing respiratory rate and relieving dyspnea in a CHF patient with an ineffective breathing pattern. ACBT can be recommended as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention to manage dyspnea in CHF patients

Abstract

Postpartum blues is a common emotional condition affecting mothers after childbirth, with a global prevalence of approximately 39.0%. This condition arises from an interplay of biological, psychological, and social influences, including hormonal fluctuations and psychosocial stressors such as role transition and sleep deprivation. Consistent emotional and practical support from partners and family members helps buffer these stressors. This systematic review aimed to explore the specific role of husbands in preventing postpartum blues by examining various forms of their involvement during pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, and postpartum care. Following PRISMA guidelines, relevant English-language studies published between 2019 and 2024 were systematically identified from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. After independent screening of 3,073 initial records by two reviewers and subsequent exclusions, 11 new studies were included for synthesis. The findings highlight that husband involvement in prenatal care significantly reduces the incidence of postpartum blues , and participation in digital mental health interventions enhances emotional support for women experiencing postpartum depression. Perceived husband support consistently correlates with improved emotional well-being and quality of life, extending beyond immediate emotional assistance to impact overall maternal QoL. Other factors like maternal age, education, parity, and broader family support also influence postpartum blues symptoms. This review underscores that active and consistent husband involvement is crucial for mitigating postpartum emotional challenges and improving maternal well-being, advocating for its integration into maternal health programs.

Abstract

Background: This study evaluated the effectiveness of structured educational interventions in improving students’ knowledge of first aid for sports-related injuries. Adolescent injuries remain a significant school-based health concern, often exacerbated by knowledge gaps. This study addressed a gap in the literature by testing a multi-session intervention using a controlled experimental design to provide empirical evidence on its impact. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design was conducted at SMA RK Deli Murni Diski, Medan, Indonesia, over three months (October–December 2024). Seventy students participated (36 intervention, 34 control). Data were collected using a validated 25-item questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.87) administered before and after the intervention. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. Results: The intervention group’s mean score rose significantly from 13.62 ± 2.10 to 24.29 ± 2.39 (p < 0.001), while the control group’s increase from 13.71 ± 2.57 to 16.38 ± 3.33 was not significant. The percentage of students with “good” knowledge increased from 8.3% to 86.1% in the intervention group. The effect size was large (Cohen’s d = 4.80), supporting the intervention’s impact on knowledge retention. Conclusion: Structured school-based first aid education significantly enhances students’ readiness to manage sports injuries. Integrating such training into school curricula can promote youth health literacy and emergency preparedness. Future studies should assess long-term skill retention and behavioral outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Female Genital Cutting (FGC) remains a deeply embedded cultural practice in several regions of Indonesia despite regulatory prohibitions. The practice poses significant risks to the health, rights, and well-being of young girls. This study aimed to describe the determinants of FGC practices among mothers of girls aged 0–6 years in Kayamanya Village, Central Sulawesi. Methods: This descriptive study involved 87 mothers selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a validated structured questionnaire assessing knowledge, attitudes, sociocultural support, and family support. Descriptive statistics were used to present the distribution of all variables. Results: The prevalence of FGC was 81.6%. Most mothers were aged 20–35 years (76%), had a high school education (47%), and were unemployed (79%). Family support (65.5%) and sociocultural influence (50.6%) were the most prominent determinants sustaining the practice. Maternal knowledge remained low, with 62% showing poor understanding of FGC-related risks. Conclusion: FGC remains highly prevalent in Kayamanya Village and is strongly sustained by family and sociocultural pressures. Culturally sensitive community-based interventions are needed to improve knowledge and address misconceptions surrounding FGC.

Abstract

Background: One of the therapies that can be used in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients to increase muscle strength is mirror therapy. Mirror therapy is a form of rehabilitation or distance exercise that relies on the patient's motor imagination and imagination using a mirror as a visual stimulation that can be imitated by the part of the body that is disturbed. The mirror stimulates cortical and spinal motors. The parts of the body that are affected tend to mimic mirror reflections, which aids in the recovery process of the extremities.  This study aims to apply mirror therapy to physical mobility in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients. Methods: A descriptive case study on one subject, namely Mrs. S who was diagnosed with a non-hemorrhagic stroke with major nursing problems of physical mobility disorders and was given mirror therapy. The mirror used is 35x30x20 cm for the upper extremities and 30x55x30 cm for the lower extremities. This therapy is carried out for 8 days with a frequency of 1x a day which is done in the afternoon for 30 minutes every day. The ethical approval was issued by the Ethics Commission of the Kendari Ministry of Health's Polytechnics. Results: After being given mirror therapy to Mrs. S for 8 days, physical mobility increased with the value of the muscle strength of the lower left extremity from 2 to 4 while the upper left extremity did not experience an increase due to more severe nerve damage in the upper left extremity Conclusion: Physical mobility improved in Mrs. S with the administration of mirror therapy for 8 days. This therapy can be applied in health services, especially in stroke patients with limb weakness.

Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a major global health concern frequently complicated by diabetic foot ulcers, which require effective wound care to prevent infection and accelerate healing. Moist Wound Healing (MWH) and Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) have been recognized as complementary therapies that may enhance skin and tissue integrity. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining MWH and VCO ointment on wound healing and pain reduction in a patient with a diabetic ulcer. Methods: This case study involved a T2DM patient presenting with a grade IV diabetic ulcer on the right foot. The intervention consisted of MWH combined with VCO ointment, administered three times at three-day intervals. Wound healing was evaluated using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) to measure skin and tissue integrity, while pain intensity was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Results: After three intervention sessions, notable improvements were observed. The BWAT total score decreased from 60 to 29, reflecting substantial tissue regeneration. The presence of healthy granulation tissue increased from 90% to 96%, indicating enhanced wound bed recovery. Additionally, the patient’s pain score decreased from 5 (moderate) to 2 (mild) on the NRS scale. Conclusion: The application of Moist Wound Healing combined with VCO ointment demonstrated effectiveness in improving skin and tissue integrity, enhancing granulation tissue formation, and reducing pain in a T2DM patient with a diabetic ulcer. This intervention shows potential as part of comprehensive wound care management; however, further studies with larger samples and extended observation periods are needed to strengthen these findings.

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a major occupational health concern among agricultural workers, yet evidence specific to smallholder coffee farmers regarding the combined impact of work duration and work processes remains limited, particularly in the context of developing economies like Indonesia. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from 1–13 October 2025 in Tunyang Induk Village, Indonesia. Using total population sampling, 135 coffee farmers participated. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire that assessed sociodemographic variables, work duration (categorized as ≤8 hours or >8 hours/day), work processes (evaluated using an adapted Quick Exposure Check tool and categorized as "good" or "poor"), and low back pain (assessed via the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire). Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression using SPSS version 26.0, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The prevalence of low back pain among coffee farmers was 65.2% (n=88). Of those with LBP, 59.1% reported moderate-to-severe pain, and 72.7% indicated that pain interfered with daily farming activities. Bivariate analysis revealed strong associations between LBP and both extended work duration (>8 hours/day; OR = 33.1, 95% CI: 12.8–85.6, p < 0.001) and poor work processes (OR = 215.8, 95% CI: 56.2–828.9, p < 0.001). Significant associations were also found with age ≥40 years (OR = 2.2, p = 0.027) and farming experience ≥10 years (OR = 2.5, p = 0.011). Conclusion: Prolonged work hours and inadequate ergonomic practices are significant, independent risk factors for low back pain among Indonesian coffee farmers. These findings highlight an urgent need for ergonomic interventions, structured work-rest scheduling, and community-based health education programs to reduce musculoskeletal strain. Future efforts should integrate occupational health perspectives into agricultural policy and expand the role of community nursing in preventive ergonomic care.
