Abstract

Background: School-age children are vulnerable to infectious diseases that can potentially lead to death. Proper handwashing is one of the effective measures for prevention. Preventive actions become more effective when health education is delivered using demonstration and storytelling methods. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health education using demonstration and storytelling methods on the level of handwashing knowledge among first-grade elementary school students in Krogowanan Village, Sawangan, Magelang. Methods: The research was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-test and post-test design without a control group. A total sampling technique was employed, involving 42 respondents who were divided into two groups based on the method used: demonstration and storytelling. A questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Data were analysed using the Paired T-Test and the Independent T-Test.Results: The results of the Independent T-Test revealed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000 < 0.05) in handwashing knowledge between the groups that received demonstration and storytelling interventions. The mean increase was higher in the storytelling group (2.1429) than in the demonstration group (1.8571).Conclusions: It indicates that the storytelling method was more effective in improving handwashing skills in first-grade elementary school children.

Abstract

Background: Nutrition problems in children remain a serious challenge to health development, including in preschool-aged children. One important factor that influences children’s nutritional status is the role of mothers as primary caregivers. Mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward nutrition play a crucial role in decision-making to meet their children’s nutritional needs. However, many preschool-aged children still experience malnutrition despite their mothers having sufficient knowledge. This prompted research to examine the relationship between mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward feeding patterns and the nutritional status of preschool-aged children.Methods: The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design using non-probability sampling. The study population consisted of 260 mothers with preschool children, with a sample size of 158 participants. The sampling technique used was random sampling. This study used a questionnaire assessing mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward the nutrition of preschool-aged children, which had been adopted and modified. Results: The results of the chi-square test showed most respondents had poor knowledge (49.4%), and their attitudes were in the good category (53.8%). Most respondents had good nutritional status (60.1%). The relationship between knowledge about dietary patterns and nutritional status (p-value= 0.777), but attitudes and nutritional status (p-value= 0.003). Conclusion: There was no relationship between knowledge about dietary patterns and the nutritional status of preschool children. However, there was a relationship between attitudes toward dietary patterns and the nutritional status of preschool children. These results emphasise that cognitive aspects need to be expanded with an affective approach.

Abstract

Background: Work-related stress is a common issue among nurses and can affect their performance, quality of care, and psychological well-being. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between age, gender, and length of service with work-related stress levels among nurses at a hospital in Banjarbaru City.Methods: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of 120 nurses at a hospital in Banjarbaru City selected through proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), which has been validated in previous studies with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.82. Data were analysed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05.Results: The results showed no significant relationship between age (p=0.298), gender (p=0.397), and length of service (p=0.581) and the level of work-related stress. However, descriptive results indicated a higher proportion of stress among nurses who were female, younger, and had longer work experience.Conclusion: It is recommended that hospital management focus more on workload, work environment, and psychosocial support rather than individual demographic factors in managing work stress.

Abstract

Background: The high incidence of traffic accidents has led to a significant increase in fractures, particularly of the lower extremities, many of which require treatment through Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) procedures. Post-ORIF patients commonly experience pain and fear in performing daily activities, including impaired balance and coordination. To address this condition, a structured and progressive integrated physical exercise intervention is necessary. This study aims to evaluate the impact of an integrated intervention that combines physical activity, pain management, and enhancement of fall efficacy on the functional status of patients recovering from lower extremity fracture surgery using the Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) procedure.Methods: The study was conducted using a pre-experimental design with a single-group pretest-posttest approach to 53 post-ORIF patients with lower extremity fractures treated in the inpatient ward of Sragen Regional General Hospital, Surakarta. Instruments used included the Barthel Index to assess functional status, the Fall Efficacy Scale, and a clinical observation sheet to evaluate physical ability. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon test.Results: Data showed an improvement in balance function, coordination, and overall functional status in post-ORIF patients with lower extremity fractures after receiving the integrated activity training intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a statistically significant effect.Conclusion: The study demonstrates that an integrated physical exercise program combined with pain management and fall efficacy enhancement has a significant impact on improving balance, coordination, and functional status in patients recovering from fractures.

Abstract

Background: Pregnant women in Indonesia often experience anaemia. Health education about anaemia and its prevention is essential for increasing the awareness of pregnant women, which helps improve the health of both the mother and the fetus. This study aims to determine the influence of health education about anaemia using booklets and demonstrations on the knowledge of pregnant women in Serenan Village, Juwiring DistrictMethods: Pre-experimental research was used in this study. This study used the one-group pretest-posttest method. Total sampling was used to select 22 pregnant women from Serenan Village, Juwiring District. This study used questionnaires and booklets. This research uses the Wilcoxon test.Results: Based on univariate analysis, 19 respondents or 86.4% of the sample, were aged between 20 and 35 years. A total of 16 respondents, or 72.7% were primiparas based on parity. The majority of respondents, 16 (72.7%), had completed high school. Regarding the understanding of pregnant women before receiving health education, 14 respondents (63.6%) had sufficient knowledge, eight respondents (36.4%) had inadequate information, and none had good knowledge. After their health education, 20 respondents (90.9%) reported having high knowledge, 2 (9.1%) reported having sufficient understanding, and none reported having poor knowledge. There was an effect of health education using booklets and demonstrations on pregnant women’s knowledge about anaemia prevention, with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: The implication of this study is that the combination of booklets and demonstrations can be a good method for increasing pregnant women's knowledge.

Abstract

Background: Stigma against people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is a serious problem due to negative perceptions. The stigma experienced causes psychological, emotional, spiritual, and social isolation, and access to health services. Nurses perpetrate one form of stigma in the healthcare environment due to a lack of knowledge, fear of HIV transmission, and misconceptions about its transmission. This study aims to investigate the perception of stigma among nurses toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) at Tidar Hospital in Magelang City. Methods: This is a qualitative study using a case study approach. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, and the results were determined using the HIV-KQ-18 knowledge pre-test. The sample consisted of 12 informants, including nurses, PLWHA patients, ward supervisors, infection control committee members, and nursing managers. Data collection was conducted through interviews and observations from June to August 2024, and data analysis was performed using Open Code software version 4.03. Results: Stigma among nurses arises from fear and concern during patient care due to an insufficient understanding of HIV transmission and prevention. Despite exhibiting stigmatising behaviour, nurses continue to fulfil their roles and duties as caregivers. Conclusion: Stigma among nurses toward HIV/AIDS patients arises from insufficient knowledge about HIV transmission and prevention. HIV/AIDS training programs should be implemented to enhance HIV knowledge and foster positive attitudes toward HIV/AIDS patients.

Abstract

Background: Emergency conditions necessitate prompt and appropriate management to mitigate the risks of disability and mortality. A fundamental component of emergency care is triage, which serves to prioritise patient treatment based on the severity of their condition and guide the necessary clinical interventions. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of peer-led health education supported by audio-visual media in improving students’ comprehension of emergency triage procedures.Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was implemented. The research population comprised second-semester nursing students from STIKES Hutama Abdi Husada Tulungagung. A purposive sampling method was used to select 41 participants. The educational intervention was delivered through peer-led sessions and supplemented with audio-visual media. Data were gathered using a validated structured questionnaire and analysed employing the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann-Whitney U test.Results: Analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test yielded a statistically significant result (p = 0.000) in both intervention groups, demonstrating that the health education provided had a meaningful impact on students’ understanding of emergency triage. Furthermore, the Mann-Whitney U test indicated a mean rank of 35.43 for participants in the peer education group and 47.57 for those in the audio-visual group, with a significance level of p = 0.019. Conclusion: The findings confirm that both peer-led and audio-visual-based health education methods are effective in increasing nursing students’ knowledge of emergency triage. Nevertheless, the audio-visual approach demonstrated superior outcomes and is, therefore, recommended as the preferred strategy for enhancing triage competency in educational settings.

Abstract

Background: Preoperative anxiety is a common emotional response in patients undergoing surgical procedures, including laparotomy with general anaesthesia. Effective preoperative education can be one strategy to reduce anxiety. Animated videos about the anaesthesia procedure can improve patients' understanding and reduce their anxiety about medical procedures. This study aimed to determine the effect of animated videos as an educational medium in reducing preoperative anxiety in laparotomy with general anaesthesia. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach with a control group. The sample consisted of 30 patients scheduled for laparotomy at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital, divided into 2 groups. Anxiety was measured using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS). Data was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test.Results: This study shows that in the intervention group, the majority of respondents before watching the animated video had moderate anxiety levels, with 8 respondents (53.3%). After being given the animated video, the majority of respondents showed mild anxiety levels, with 6 respondents (40.0%). In the control group, the majority of respondents had moderate anxiety levels, with 8 respondents (53.3%). After being given nursing care from the hospital without being given the animated video, the majority of respondents showed mild anxiety levels, with 9 respondents (60.0%). Data analysis showed a significant decrease in anxiety scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The use of animated educational media is recommended as part of standard preoperative preparation in hospitals.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is a critical developmental period marked by significant physical, psychological, and social changes. An imbalance between energy intake and expenditure during this stage can lead to nutritional disorders, including underweight and overweight conditions. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stress levels, picky eating behavior, and physical activity with Body Mass Index (BMI) among adolescent girls in Bandung Regency. Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design involving 106 randomly selected high school female students. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires to assess stress levels (DASS-42), picky eating behavior (modified CEBQ), and physical activity (PAQ-A), along with direct anthropometric measurements to calculate BMI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used. Results: Stress level (p = 0.012; OR = 3.13), picky eating behavior (p = 0.003; OR = 5.42), and physical activity (p = 0.018; OR = 0.29) were significantly associated with BMI status. The findings highlight that a combination of stress, eating behavior, and physical activity plays a crucial role in influencing the nutritional status of adolescent girls. Conclusion: A comprehensive approach involving education, nutritional counseling, and promotion of active lifestyles is highly recommended within the school environment.

Abstract

Background: According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), a total of 1,427 cases of violence against children under the age of 18 occurred. One of the most common forms of violence in the school environment is bullying, particularly in the form of verbal teasing, with a prevalence of up to 75% among students. However, only 45% of victims are willing to report such incidents. Bullying behaviour is influenced by factors such as knowledge and attitude. The research objective is to identify the correlation between knowledge and attitudes toward bullying behaviour among SMA Negeri 5 Surakarta students.Methods: A correlational quantitative approach was used in this research. The population consisted of all 128 tenth-grade students, and 97 respondents were selected using simple random sampling based on the Slovin formula. The independent variables were knowledge and attitude, while the dependent variable was bullying behaviour. Data were collected using questionnaires and analysed using the Chi-square statistical test.Results: The analysis showed no significant correlation between the level of knowledge and bullying behaviour (p-value = 0.983), and no significant correlation between attitude and bullying behaviour (p-value = 0.363).Conclusion: Furthermore, most students reported never engaging in bullying, totalling 93 respondents (95.9%). There was no significant relationship between knowledge and bullying behaviour, with a p-value of 0.569 > 0.05. Similarly, there was no significant relationship between attitudes and bullying behaviour, with a p-value of 0.827 > 0.05.
