Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus requires consistent self-management, and successful disease control is strongly influenced by patients’ self-efficacy in performing daily care behaviors. Existing instruments mainly emphasize behavioral and treatment-related aspects and may not adequately capture broader holistic dimensions, including psychosocial adaptation and spiritual coping.Objective: This study aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate the Holistic Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale (HDSES) among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Indonesia.Methods: This methodological study followed four stages of instrument development, namely construct definition, item pool generation, scale design, and psychometric evaluation. The HDSES was conceptualized across six dimensions: nutrition, physical exercise, treatment adherence, blood glucose check, psychosocial adaptation, and spiritual coping. The initial questionnaire consisted of 30 items and was reviewed by three nurse lecturers specializing in diabetic care. Data were collected from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the working areas of public health centers in Kendari City using simple random sampling. The final instrument consisted of 28 items rated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (very uncertain) to 5 (very confident). Validity was assessed using Pearson correlation, and reliability was examined using Cronbach’s alpha.Results: The findings showed that all six HDSES dimensions demonstrated adequate item validity and good internal consistency. The dimensions of nutrition, physical exercise, treatment adherence, blood glucose check, psychosocial adaptation, and spiritual coping were all found to be valid and reliable for assessing holistic diabetes self-efficacy.Conclusion: The HDSES is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring holistic diabetes self-efficacy among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Indonesia. The scale may support more comprehensive nursing assessment, health education, and tailored interventions in primary care settings.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding is an essential intervention for improving infant health, growth, and development. Despite its well-established benefits, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in several regions of Indonesia remains below target, including in the working area of Puskesmas Peninjauan, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. The success of exclusive breastfeeding is influenced by multiple maternal and environmental factors, including maternal knowledge, family support, parity, and pregnancy interval. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with the success of exclusive breastfeeding among breastfeeding mothers in the working area of Puskesmas Peninjauan, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. Methods: This study employed an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted from June to July 2025 and involved all mothers with infants aged 7–12 months in the working area of Puskesmas Peninjauan, with a total of 61 respondents selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a checklist form and structured questionnaires covering maternal knowledge, family support, parity, pregnancy interval, and exclusive breastfeeding success. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test at a 95% significance level (α = 0.05). Results: Most respondents were aged 21–30 years (52.5%), had completed senior high school (37.7%), and were homemakers (88.5%). A total of 91.8% of mothers successfully practiced exclusive breastfeeding. Bivariate analysis showed that family support was significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding success (p = 0.002), whereas maternal knowledge (p = 0.353), parity (p = 0.215), and pregnancy interval (p = 0.052) were not significantly associated. Conclusion: Family support was the most influential factor associated with the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Strengthening the involvement of husbands and family members in breastfeeding education and lactation support should be integrated into maternal and child health services to improve exclusive breastfeeding outcomes.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic substantially altered adolescents’ daily routines, including eating habits, physical activity, and sleep patterns, all of which may influence nutritional status. Evidence from Indonesia remains limited, particularly regarding the simultaneous contribution of these behavioral factors during periods of prolonged social restriction. Objective: This study aimed to examine the associations between dietary patterns, physical activity, sleep quality, and nutritional status among adolescents in Pekanbaru, Indonesia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to November 2021 among 75 adolescents aged 15–18 years in Pekanbaru, Riau Province, Indonesia. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling using school and alumni WhatsApp groups. Data were collected online using a structured self-administered questionnaire that included a Food Frequency Questionnaire for dietary patterns, the Indonesian version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A), and the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS) for sleep-related problems. Nutritional status was assessed using self-reported weight and height to calculate body mass index (BMI), which was then classified into underweight, normal, and overweight categories. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used for data analysis, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Of the 75 participants, most were 17 years old (40.0%) and female (70.7%). Overall, 68.0% had normal nutritional status, 18.7% were overweight, and 13.3% were underweight. Chi-square analysis showed significant associations between dietary patterns and nutritional status (p = 0.001), sleep quality and nutritional status (p = 0.001), and physical activity and nutritional status (p = 0.001). These findings indicate that unhealthy dietary patterns, poor sleep-related functioning, and lower physical activity were associated with abnormal BMI categories among adolescents. Conclusion: Dietary patterns, physical activity, and sleep quality were significantly associated with adolescent nutritional status during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings highlight the importance of integrated behavioral screening and adolescent health interventions targeting diet, movement, and sleep to support optimal nutritional outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a public health problem with long-term consequences for child growth and development. Integrated Health Posts (Posyandu) play a strategic role as community-based health services in stunting prevention; however, their utilization is influenced by mothers’ perceptions of the role and function of Posyandu. Objective: This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of mothers’ perceptions of the role of Posyandu in stunting prevention in the working area of Martapura 1 Primary Health Center. Methods: This study employed a qualitative design with a descriptive phenomenological approach. The study was conducted in June 2025 in the working area of Martapura 1 Primary Health Center. Participants were recruited using purposive sampling, with inclusion criteria of mothers who had stunted children under five years of age. A total of 13 participants were involved until data saturation was achieved. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using semi-structured interview guidelines and analyzed through transcription, coding, categorization, and thematic analysis with the assistance of NVivo 12 software. Results: The findings identified four themes related to mothers’ perceptions of the role of Posyandu in stunting prevention in the working area of Martapura 1 Primary Health Center: (1) visit patterns; (2) Posyandu services; (3) perceived benefits of Posyandu; and (4) mothers’ expectations. Conclusion: Mothers primarily perceived Posyandu as a place for routine child growth monitoring, while its role in stunting prevention was not fully understood. These findings indicate a gap between the ideal role of Posyandu in stunting prevention and mothers’ perceptions at the community level.

Abstract

Background: Spiritual care is a core component in palliative nursing, but most of the literature still discusses it in a general framework and has not systematically integrated Islamic educational values as an ethical and professional foundation. Objective: Formulating a conceptual framework for strengthening palliative nursing care through the integration of Islamic educational values. Methods: The study used an integrative literature review design following the PRISMA flow. A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for articles from January 2010–June 2025. The final search was conducted in June 2025 using a combination of the keywords “Islamic values,” “Islamic education,” “palliative nursing,” “palliative care,” and “spiritual care.” Of the 215 articles identified, 30 met the inclusion criteria after screening and full-text review. Analysis was conducted through thematic synthesis and quality assessment using the CASP and JBI checklists. Results: Four dominant core values were identified: rahmah (compassion), patience, sincerity, and trust (relief), with trust as a key determinant of professional ethics. Rahmah emerged most frequently and contributed to improved therapeutic communication, reduced anxiety, increased emotional support, and improved quality of life for terminally ill patients. The integration of these values also impacted patient satisfaction and strengthened nurse professionalism. Conclusion: The integration of Islamic educational values strengthens the ethical, spiritual, and professional dimensions of palliative nursing practice in a holistic and evidence-based manner. Further research using quantitative or mixed methods designs is needed to increase the generalizability of the findings.

Abstract

Background: Anemia during pregnancy remains a major public health concern because it contributes to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes and is strongly influenced by modifiable health behaviors. Prenatal education grounded in behavioral theory has gained increasing attention as a strategy to improve preventive practices, particularly in primary care and community settings. The Health Belief Model offers a relevant framework because it addresses women’s perceptions of risk, benefits, barriers, and cues to action related to anemia prevention. Objective: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Health Belief Model-based prenatal education on anemia prevention behaviors among pregnant women in community health centers and other primary care settings. Methods: This study applied a systematic review design. Literature searches were conducted across major electronic databases using combinations of terms related to the Health Belief Model, prenatal education, pregnant women, anemia, iron supplementation, hemoglobin, and primary health care. The main outcomes were hemoglobin level, anemia prevalence, iron-folic acid supplementation adherence, dietary intake, and behavioral determinants. Data were extracted using a structured form and synthesized narratively. Results: Eight studies were included in the final synthesis. The findings consistently showed that Health Belief Model-based or theory-based prenatal education improved anemia prevention behaviors and related health outcomes. The strongest effects were observed in iron-folic acid supplementation adherence, hemoglobin improvement, anemia reduction, and healthier dietary practices. Several studies also reported gains in maternal knowledge, attitudes, and selected Health Belief Model constructs, especially perceived susceptibility and cues to action. Interventions that combined counseling with educational media, reminder systems, or repeated follow-up produced more consistent benefits across settings. Conclusion: Health Belief Model-based prenatal education appears to be an effective strategy for improving anemia prevention behaviors among pregnant women in community and primary care settings. Integrating theory-based educational interventions into routine antenatal services may strengthen maternal anemia prevention and support better pregnancy outcomes.
