Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health problem that not only impairs physical growth but also compromises children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development, ultimately reducing quality of life. Families play a critical role in the prevention and management of stunting by providing adequate caregiving, ensuring proper nutrition, and facilitating access to healthcare services. Understanding the association between family support and quality of life is essential for guiding effective interventions. Objective: This study aimed to examine the correlation between family support and quality of life among preschool children with stunting. Methods: A cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach was applied, involving 66 parents or caregivers of preschool children aged 36–72 months diagnosed with stunting. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Family support was measured across emotional, instrumental, appreciation, and informational domains, while children’s quality of life was assessed using standardized questionnaires. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression to identify potential confounding factors. Results: The analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between family support and quality of life (p < 0.001). Children from families providing strong support were 65.9 times more likely to experience good quality of life compared with those from families with inadequate support. Multivariate analysis revealed parental education as a confounding factor (p = 0.011), with higher educational attainment contributing to stronger family support and improved child outcomes. Conclusions: Strengthening family support and improving parental education are crucial strategies to enhance the quality of life of stunted preschool children

Abstract

Background: Nurses engage in physically demanding activities that increase the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs). Appropriate footwear selection is an important preventive strategy. Objective: This study aimed to identify and compare footwear preferences between nurses working in the emergency installation (EI) and outpatient installation (OI). Methods: A descriptive quantitative study was conducted with a population of 158 nurses from a public hospital in Indonesia, comprising 93 EI nurses and 65 OI nurses. Using purposive sampling, 125 nurses participated. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. Results:The most frequently selected footwear characteristics were comfort and cushioning (108 nurses, 44.4%), appropriate size (106 nurses, 41.6%), and durability for daily activities (104 nurses, 35.3%). Notable differences emerged between groups. Outpatient installation (OI) nurses placed greater emphasis on design (43.3%), cushioning (87.9%), weather resistance (65.2%), and foot protection (65.2%) compared with emergency installation (EI) nurses (33.3%, 84.7%, 59.3%, and 62.7%, respectively). Conversely, EI nurses demonstrated a stronger preference for high-quality, higher-priced footwear (72.4%) than OI nurses (47.2%). Conclusion: Nurses prioritize footwear that fits well, is comfortable, cushioned, safe, durable, and reasonably priced. While cushioning and comfort emerged as the most important factors overall, differences in preferences between EI and OI nurses highlight the need for occupational health policies that consider unit-specific requirements. Promoting appropriate footwear may help reduce WRMSD risk and improve nurse well-being.

Abstract

Background: Tongue cancer is often associated with severe pain, further complicated when accompanied by comorbidities such as pulmonary tuberculosis. Persistent pain, worsened by continuous coughing, contributes to swallowing and speech difficulties, ultimately diminishing quality of life and resulting in poor prognosis. Objective: This case report aimed to explore the effectiveness of nursing care guided by Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory in alleviating pain in a patient with tongue cancer. Case Presentation: A 58-year-old man with tongue cancer, suspected lung metastasis, and pulmonary tuberculosis experienced severe chronic pain (VAS 9/10). Nursing care was structured according to Kolcaba’s framework, addressing physical, psychospiritual, environmental, and sociocultural comfort needs across the stages of relief, ease, and transcendence. Interventions included pharmacological therapy with morphine and non-pharmacological strategies such as foot massage and local honey application to the wound site. Pain was regularly assessed using the visual analog scale. Following interventions, the patient reported reduced pain intensity (VAS 7/10). Comfort levels improved, with physical comfort progressing from relief to ease, psychospiritual comfort from ease to transcendence, and environmental and sociocultural aspects maintained at the transcendence stage Conclusion: Nursing care based on Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory effectively contributed to pain reduction and enhanced comfort in this patient with tongue cancer. Integrating pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions within a holistic nursing framework may offer practical strategies for managing complex cancer-related pain and improving quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Workplace violence (WPV) against nurses is a critical global concern that negatively affects nurse well-being, professional performance, and patient safety. Despite its widespread occurrence, WPV is consistently underreported. This persistent gap between high incidence and low reporting limits accurate surveillance, weakens institutional responses, and delays the development of effective prevention strategies. Objective: To identify the reasons behind the low reporting rate of WPV among health workers, especially nurses Design: Literature review. Data Sources: Scopus, Google Scholar, and Taylor & Francis databases were searched using the keywords “Workplace Violence,” “Healthcare Workers,” and “Nurses.” Review Process: Inclusion criteria comprised articles that discussed WPV prevalence and reporting behaviors and dated from 2020 onward. Screening of titles, abstracts, and full texts was performed, followed by detailed analysis of eligible studies. Results: Eleven studies from 10 Asian countries were included, with sample sizes ranging from 11 participants in a qualitative study to more than 20,000 registered nurses. Across settings, workplace violence was widespread, with prevalence rates ranging from 13.6% to nearly 90%. Despite this high occurrence, reporting remained limited. Personal barriers to reporting included fear of negative consequences, shame, guilt, and the perception that violence is an unavoidable part of nursing practice. Organizational barriers included unclear or inconvenient reporting procedures, lack of training, absence of system privacy, limited managerial support, and mistrust in reporting mechanisms. Collectively, these factors reinforced underreporting and contributed to unsafe work environments for nurses. Conclusion: Underreporting of WPV among nurses persists due to both individual and organizational barriers. Addressing this issue requires supportive reporting systems, training on WPV management, and fostering a non-punitive safety culture. Without targeted interventions, unsafe work environments will persist, compromising both nurse well-being and quality of patient care.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading global health problem, with high morbidity and mortality. Adherence to long-term treatment regimens is essential to eradicate Mycobacterium tuberculosis and prevent drug resistance, yet many patients face psychosocial barriers that reduce adherence Objective: To examine the association of self-efficacy and social support with treatment adherence among patients with pulmonary TB. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Outpatient Department of Kendari City Hospital, Indonesia, from April to June 2024. Using consecutive sampling, 88 patients with pulmonary TB aged 20 to 50 years who were undergoing treatment and met inclusion criteria were enrolled. Self-efficacy was assessed using the General Self-Efficacy Scale, social support with the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and treatment adherence with the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale. Associations were analyzed using chi-square tests and multiple linear regression. Results: Among 88 participants, 63.6% demonstrated high adherence, 63.6% reported good self-efficacy, and 63.6% reported high social support. Self-efficacy was positively associated with treatment adherence (r=0.265; p=0.024). Similarly, social support was positively associated with adherence (r=0.263; p=0.025). Regression analysis indicated that social support had the greatest influence on adherence (B=0.257; p=0.013), explaining 13.6% of the variance in adherence when combined with self-efficacy. Conclusion: Self-efficacy and social support are significant predictors of treatment adherence in pulmonary TB patients. Nursing interventions that enhance patient confidence and mobilize family and community support may improve adherence and optimize TB treatment outcomes

Abstract

Background: Cochlear implantation in children with congenital ear malformations presents unique perioperative challenges due to anatomical variations. Comprehensive perioperative care is essential for optimal outcomes, yet literature on nursing management for these complex cases remains limited. Objective: To document the perioperative nursing approach for cochlear implantation in a pediatric patient with congenital ear malformation and establish evidence-based protocols for similar cases. Case: A 9-year-old child diagnosed with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss with Mondini malformation (incomplete partition) underwent left cochlear implantation. The patient had previously undergone right cochlear implantation two years prior with successful outcomes. Perioperative management included comprehensive preoperative assessment with special attention to craniofacial anomalies, intraoperative monitoring for cerebrospinal fluid leakage and facial nerve function, and postoperative care focusing on pain management, infection prevention, and family education. Despite anatomical challenges, the procedure was successfully completed with 10 of 12 electrodes functioning properly, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day two without complications. Conclusion: Successful cochlear implantation in children with congenital ear malformations requires a multidisciplinary approach with specialized perioperative nursing care. This case demonstrates that with proper preoperative planning, intraoperative vigilance, and comprehensive postoperative management, good functional outcomes can be achieved despite complex anatomical challenges. Standardized protocols for perioperative care in these cases can significantly improve patient safety and surgical outcomes.
