Abstract

Background The Emergency Department (ED) is a critical hospital unit that requires nurses to provide fast and accurate responses to life-threatening conditions. Nurse response time is a key quality indicator, yet delays often occur due to excessive workload. Studies suggest that high workload negatively affects response time, but a comprehensive review in the Indonesian context remains limited. Objective This study aimed to critically review existing literature on the relationship between nurses’ workload and response time in emergency care settings in Indonesia. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted using Google Scholar and PubMed databases. Articles published between 2019 and 2025 were screened based on inclusion criteria: studies conducted in Indonesian EDs, discussing both workload and response time, available in full-text, and written in English or Indonesian. Quality appraisal was performed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools, resulting in 8 eligible articles out of 360 initially identified. Results Most of the reviewed studies found a significant relationship between high workload and delayed nurse response time. Nurses with lower workload were more likely to meet the ≤5-minute standard. Other influencing factors included training, years of experience, facility infrastructure, and patient condition. Variations in study design, data collection methods, and perspectives (nurses vs. patients) contributed to inconsistent findings across studies. Conclusion Nurse workload significantly influences response time in emergency settings. However, this relationship is affected by multiple interacting factors such as work environment, professional competency, and support systems. It is recommended to implement real-time workload assessment tools, enhance training programs, and conduct mixed-method studies that differentiate physical, mental, and emotional workload dimensions to improve emergency response performance and patient safety.

Abstract

Background Anemia is one of the most common public health problems among adolescent girls, potentially leading to decreased concentration, impaired growth, and reduced immune function. The prevalence of anemia in this age group remains high, both globally and nationally. Objective This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the incidence of anemia among adolescent girls in the working area of Nawangsasi Public Health Center, Musi Rawas District. Methods A quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted involving 72 adolescent girls selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression. Results There were significant associations between nutritional status (p = 0.006), iron tablet consumption (p = 0.009), and dietary patterns (p = 0.019) with the incidence of anemia. The most dominant factor was dietary pattern (p = 0.026), with an odds ratio of 11.00 (95% CI = 1.33–90.61). Conclusion Improving dietary habits and increasing adherence to iron supplementation play a crucial role in anemia prevention among adolescent girls. Continuous nutritional education and behavioral monitoring through multisectoral collaboration are recommended to effectively reduce anemia prevalence in this population.

Abstract

Background Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a persistent public health concern in Indonesia, driven by a complex interplay of individual and environmental risk factors. Understanding these determinants is crucial to enhance disease control strategies at the community level. Objective This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the working area of Tebing Tinggi Public Health Center, Empat Lawang. Methods A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 76 respondents selected from 321 suspected TB patients using purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test, and multivariate analysis was conducted using logistic regression to determine the dominant risk factors. Results Bivariate analysis showed that age (p = 0.04) and household contact (p = 0.00) were significantly associated with the incidence of pulmonary TB, while gender, knowledge, housing density, and ventilation were not (p > 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that household contact was the most dominant factor influencing TB incidence. Conclusion Household contact and older age were significantly associated with pulmonary tuberculosis incidence. Targeted interventions such as household contact tracing and focused health education for older populations are essential to reduce transmission and improve TB control at the community level.

Abstract

Background Low back pain (LBP) remains a major occupational health issue, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia, where nurses are frequently exposed to prolonged standing, heavy lifting, and poor ergonomic practices. These conditions contribute to decreased productivity and quality of life. Objective This study aimed to examine the characteristics of low back pain among nurses at Royal Prima General Hospital Medan and to assess the relationship between postural risk (REBA scores) and disability level (ODI scores). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2025, involving 65 nurses selected using proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) for postural analysis, and the Indonesian version of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) to measure disability. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and the Mann-Whitney U test. Results The mean REBA score was 5.48 ± 2.67, and the mean ODI score was 11.68 ± 13.42. A significant positive correlation was found between REBA and ODI scores (r = 0.267, p = 0.033), indicating a weak but significant association between poor posture and increased disability. Nurses working ≥8 hours per day had significantly higher ODI and REBA scores (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found based on gender, work unit, or length of employment. Conclusion Prolonged working hours are associated with increased postural risk and disability levels among nurses. A weak but significant correlation exists between postural risk and low back disability. Early ergonomic interventions and better shift duration management are recommended to reduce the incidence of LBP. To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies in Indonesia utilizing both REBA and ODI among hospital nurses, contributing valuable local evidence to inform occupational health strategies

Abstract

Background Exclusive breastfeeding is vital for optimal infant growth and health, yet its coverage in Indonesia remains suboptimal. Maternal knowledge and family support are key factors influencing breastfeeding success. Objective This study aimed to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge and family support on exclusive breastfeeding practices. Methods A quantitative study with an analytic survey and cross-sectional design was conducted in the working area of TPMB Ririn Sevda Korini, Ogan Komering Ulu District, in December 2024. A total of 80 respondents were selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a 0.05 significance level. Results Most mothers (71.3%) did not practice exclusive breastfeeding. The majority had moderate knowledge (60%) and lacked family support (68.8%). A significant relationship was found between maternal knowledge and family support with exclusive breastfeeding practices (p = 0.000). Conclusion Better maternal knowledge and stronger family support significantly increase the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding. Breastfeeding promotion interventions should include educational support for mothers and families, workplace-friendly policies, and community-based strategies to foster supportive breastfeeding environments.

Abstract

Background Employee performance at primary healthcare facilities is crucial for meeting the Minimum Service Standards. At Tugu Mulyo Health Center, several programs failed to meet national targets, allegedly due to poor staff performance. Objective This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing employee performance at Tugu Mulyo Health Center, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. Methods A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving all 74 health workers using total sampling. Data were collected via validated structured questionnaires covering variables such as competence, motivation, work experience, compensation, workload, and performance. Bivariate analysis was performed using Chi-square tests, and multivariate analysis applied logistic regression to identify dominant factors. Results Bivariate analysis found that only the competency variable had a statistically significant relationship with performance (p = 0.030). Multivariate logistic regression confirmed competency as the dominant factor (OR = 0.311; 95% CI: 0.118–0.819; p = 0.018), explaining 10.2% of the variance in employee performance (pseudo R² = 0.102). Other variables such as motivation, compensation, work experience, and workload were not significantly associated with performance. Conclusion Competency is the dominant factor affecting health worker performance at Tugu Mulyo Health Center. Improving employee competency is critical for achieving optimal performance.

Abstract

Background Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health problem with high rates of morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. One of the main challenges in TB control is the low treatment adherence among patients undergoing long-term therapy. Objective This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing tuberculosis medication adherence among patients at Lesung Batu Community Health Center.. Methods A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from May 8 to 27, 2025, involving 56 TB patients registered at the Lesung Batu Health Center. Total sampling was used. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire based on the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and analyzed using Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression. Results Only 51.8% of respondents were adherent to TB medication. Bivariate analysis showed that gender (p=0.01), distance to health facilities (p=0.01), and family support (p=0.00) had significant associations with adherence. Multivariate analysis revealed family support as the most dominant factor (OR=0.16, 95% CI=0.05–0.51), indicating that patients without family support were 6.25 times more likely to be non-adherent. Conclusion Family support, proximity to health services, and male gender significantly influenced TB medication adherence. Interventions should focus on increasing family involvement and improving access to care for patients in remote areas. Primary healthcare providers are advised to implement community-based strategies that include home visits, family counseling, and cross-sectoral collaboration to enhance adherence and improve treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Background Anemia in pregnancy remains a major global health concern, significantly affecting maternal and fetal outcomes. In Indonesia, particularly in Muara Enim, the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women has been increasing annually. Iron tablets are a key intervention for anemia prevention, yet adherence remains low. Objective This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing adherence to iron tablet consumption among pregnant women at Muara Enim Community Health Center. Methods This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytical survey design using a cross-sectional method. The research was conducted from April 24 to May 14, 2025, at Muara Enim Community Health Center. A total of 93 pregnant women were selected as respondents using purposive sampling from a population. Data were collected through structured interviews using a validated questionnaire comprising demographic characteristics and variables such as knowledge, attitude, economic status, husband support, and adherence to iron tablet consumption. Data were analyzed for descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis using Chi-square tests, and multivariate analysis through binary logistic regression to identify the most dominant influencing factor. Results The results showed that only 40.9% of respondents adhered to iron tablet consumption. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between adherence and knowledge (p=0.00), economic status (p=0.02), and husband support (p=0.04). Multivariate logistic regression identified husband support as the most dominant factor (OR=0.34; 95% CI: 0.13–0.88), indicating that women without husband support were 0.34 times less likely to adhere to iron tablet consumption. Conclusion Knowledge, economic status, and husband support significantly affect adherence to iron tablet consumption among pregnant women. However, husband support emerged as the most influential factor. It is recommended that antenatal education programs actively involve husbands to enhance support systems and improve adherence. Community-based interventions and cross-sector collaborations should be strengthened, especially for pregnant women with low socioeconomic status or limited family support

Abstract

Background Individuals with mental illness often face social stigma that not only affects them personally but also extends to their families. Public perception of families caring for persons with mental illness plays a crucial role in supporting rehabilitation efforts and social reintegration. Objective This study aimed to examine the factors associated with community perceptions toward the families of individuals with mental illness in the working area of Lesung Batu Health Center, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Methods A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted involving 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression. Results The results showed that 60% of respondents had a positive perception of the families of persons with mental illness. No significant association was found with age (p = 0.83), gender (p = 1.00), or educational level (p = 0.13). However, knowledge (p = 0.00; OR = 14.14) and attitude (p = 0.00; OR = 9.3) were significantly associated with community perception. Knowledge was identified as the most dominant factor influencing public perception. Conclusion Knowledge and attitude are key determinants of community perception toward families of individuals with mental illness, while demographic factors such as age, gender, and education showed no significant impact. Community-based mental health education programs are strongly recommended to enhance knowledge, foster positive attitudes, reduce stigma, and build stronger community support for families caring for individuals with mental illness.

Abstract

Background Smoke-Free Area (SFA) policies are an essential public health intervention aimed at reducing tobacco exposure and promoting a healthy environment, particularly in higher education institutions. However, compliance remains a challenge, even in health-focused universities where students are expected to model healthy behavior. Objective This study aims to analyze student behavior toward the implementation of the Smoke-Free Area (SFA) policy in a health higher education institution. Methods A descriptive quantitative study was conducted among 32 male students at STIKes Al-Maarif Baturaja using a total sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used to assess students’ knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the SFA policy. Data were analyzed using univariate descriptive statistics. Results The findings revealed that while most students demonstrated a positive attitude toward the SFA policy (62.5%), only 28.1% had good knowledge and 18.8% showed favorable practices. The majority exhibited moderate levels of knowledge (37.5%) and practice (50%), with 34.4% showing poor knowledge and 31.2% demonstrating poor adherence in practice. Students were aware of the health risks of smoking and supported policy enforcement, but lacked sufficient knowledge of policy implementation and institutional mechanisms. Conclusion There is a notable gap between students' positive attitudes and their actual practices and knowledge regarding the SFA policy. This misalignment indicates that students are not yet fully engaged as active change agents in promoting a smoke-free campus. It is crucial for institutions to strengthen educational efforts, provide clear policy communication, and engage students in policy enforcement mechanisms. Integrating SFA values into academic and extracurricular activities may foster better awareness and behavioral alignment among health students.
