<![CDATA[Introduction: Parenting during infancy and toddlerhood plays a crucial role in shaping children's physical, social, and intellectual development, with effective parenting during these early years having long-lasting effects on a child’s health and independence. Cultural values and family traditions influence parenting practices, and educational media, such as videos, can improve perceptions and behaviors by engaging audiences and providing relevant, contextual information. Objective: This study aims to determine the influence of health education through video media on the perception of mothers with infants under five about parenting patterns in the Sundanese ethnicity in Cikunir Village. Method: This quantitative study employs a quasi-experimental design to assess the impact of video-based health education on mothers' perceptions of toddler parenting. The population consists of mothers with children aged 0-60 months in Cikunir Village, with purposive sampling used to select 57 participants. Data were presented in tables, and descriptive and analytical analysis was performed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Result: Statistical analysis revealed a significant effect of health education on mothers' perceptions, with a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant result (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Health education through video media significantly influences mothers' perceptions of parenting patterns in the Sundanese ethnic group. Early intervention in child growth and stunting prevention is essential for promoting age-appropriate development in infants.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: The rising nurse workload and its impact on performance have become a significant concern in hospital inpatient settings. Increased patient numbers and high Bed Occupancy Rates (BOR) have contributed to greater pressure on nursing staff, potentially affecting the quality of care provided. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of workload on nurse performance in hospital inpatient settings through a comprehensive review of existing literature. Method: A systematic literature review was conducted, utilizing national and international journals. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) method was applied in four stages: identification (n = 16,816), screening (n = 60), followed by the application of the PICO framework to determine feasibility and relevance, which resulted in 15 articles being included. The literature search involved accessing electronic databases such as Cochrane, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Result: The review of 15 articles revealed that nurse performance is significantly influenced by multiple factors, with high workload being one of the main contributors. Of the 15 articles analyzed, 14 confirmed that high workload is a major challenge nurses face in performing their daily tasks, leading to potential declines in performance. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study confirms that a high workload, especially in hospital inpatient rooms, has a significant negative impact on nurse performance. Addressing workload management through staffing optimization and effective policies is essential to improving the quality of care and ensuring better health outcomes.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Stunting can have long-term impacts on children's health and development. Preventing stunting in children under five requires a comprehensive approach, including adequate and balanced nutritional intake. One of the natural ingredients commonly used in traditional medicine is red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum), which contains phytochemical compounds, vitamins, minerals, and fiber beneficial for maintaining vascular and digestive health. Gummy candy formulations have the advantage of high acceptability and appeal, particularly for children who find it difficult to consume medicine. Objective: This study aims to determine the level of preference for gummy candy made with red ginger extract as a strategy to prevent stunting in children under five. Method: The study employed an experimental design using a sensory hedonic test. The inclusion criteria included mothers with toddlers. A total of 20 participants were selected using an incidental sampling technique. Result: The findings indicated that participants showed a high level of preference for red ginger extract gummy candy. On average, the gummy candy was rated as highly appealing in terms of appearance, taste, aroma, and texture. Conclusion: Red ginger extract gummy candy has significant potential to be well-accepted by children under five. Further improvements are recommended, particularly in enhancing the gummy candy's appearance and incorporating more varied shapes to increase its appeal.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Facing a Caesarean section (C-section), patients often imagine the surgical process and various discomforts, leading to anxiety. Anxiety can result in both physical and psychological changes, such as an increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, rapid breathing, fatigue, and an increase in fetal heart rate. Endorphin massage and positive affirmations offer benefits such as comfort and pain relief. This sense of relaxation and comfort is expected to reduce the anxiety experienced by patients before delivery. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of endorphin massage and positive affirmations in reducing anxiety levels among pre-C-section patients. Method: This experimental study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The respondents included 30 pre-C-section patients at Sayang Hospital, Cianjur, selected through a total sampling technique. The research instrument used was the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire, which assessed the patients' anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Result: The study results, analyzed using the Paired Samples T-Test, showed a p-value of 0.000, which is <0.05. Conclusion: The findings indicate a significant reduction in anxiety levels among pre-C-section patients before and after receiving endorphin massage and positive affirmation interventions.]]>
