Abstract

Background: Smoking cessation is an important management for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), but many patients continue to smoke due to low motivation. Therefore, further studies exploring the motivation to quit smoking are needed. This study examines the relationship between lung function, disease severity, and motivation to quit in COPD patients.Methods: A correlational cross-sectional study was conducted at a pulmonary hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in February 2024. One hundred adults with COPD who were current smokers were chosen through random sampling. We used the Richmond Test to measure motivation to quit smoking, the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) questionnaire to assess the severity of COPD, and Peak flow meters to assess lung function by measuring peak expiratory flow (PEF). Descriptive statistics were provided to summarise the characteristics of the participants, and Spearman's rank correlation was used to analyse the relationships between the variables.Results: The average age of the participants was 65 years, the length of time they had been smoking was 23 years, and the number of cigarettes smoked each day was 23. Most respondents showed moderate motivation to quit smoking (70%) and had a diagnosis of severe (60%) COPD. There is a significant correlation between peak expiratory flow and the motivation to quit smoking (p = 0.03) and between the severity of the disease and the motivation to quit smoking (p = 0.04).Conclusion: These findings emphasise the importance of communicating PEF assessment results and disease severity to enhance COPD patients' motivation to quit smoking.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhea, arises from heightened prostaglandin production, leading to uterine cramps. This discomfort can interfere with daily activities. One recommended non-pharmacological approach to relieve this condition is practising the child's pose in yoga. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of this pose in reducing menstrual discomfort among students. Methods: The research was conducted at SMPN 2 Pamulihan during the period of July through August. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The participants were 7th and 8th grade junior high school students experiencing primary dysmenorrhea who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pain assessment was conducted using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), a validated and widely accepted instrument for evaluating pain levels. The yoga intervention was implemented based on established Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to ensure consistency and adherence to protocol. Data were analysed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the Wilcoxon test applied to assess the differences between pretest and posttest results. Results: Prior to the intervention, 25 participants (69.4%) experienced mild pain. Following the yoga sessions, 26 students (72.2%) reported mild pain. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference before and after the intervention (p = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating the potential of child's pose yoga as a non-pharmacological method for easing dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: The child's pose yoga technique shows promise in managing menstrual discomfort among adolescents, serving as a viable non-pharmacological alternative.

Abstract

Background: Elderly individuals with hypertension often face high stress levels, which can worsen their physical and psychological health. Self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to manage challenges, plays a crucial role in coping with chronic illness. Research suggests that higher self-efficacy is linked to better stress management and improved health outcomes. In hypertensive elderly, strong self-efficacy may help reduce stress by promoting confidence in handling daily tasks and medical routines. Understanding this relationship is essential for developing effective interventions to support elderly patients and enhance their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and stress levels in elderly people with hypertension. Methods: This research design is correlational analytic using a cross-sectional approach; the instruments in this study were the Self-efficacy to Manage Hypertension-Five Item Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The sample in this study consists of 65 respondents, all of whom are elderly individuals diagnosed with hypertensionResults: 12 (18,5%) elderly experienced low self-efficacy, and 5 (7,7%) elderly had severe stress. There is a negative relationship between self-efficacy and stress in the elderly, with a p value <0.000 (<0.05), with a correlation of -.580**. Conclusion: This means that the higher the self-efficacy possessed by the elderly, the lower the stress that arises. Self-efficacy plays an important role in reducing stress in the elderly, especially those who suffer from hypertension. The elderly are recommended to increase their self-efficacy through several complementary therapies.

Abstract

Background: During early childhood, a period of rapid growth, malnutrition remained a major concern, with millions of infants worldwide affected by underweight, and stunting. Unresolved, this condition led to poor growth, weakened immunity, and delayed cognitive development. Baby-Led Weaning (BLW), a method where infants aged six months and older self-fed solid foods, offered a potential solution by encouraging food exploration, chewing skills, and appetite. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of BLW-based complementary feeding on infant weight gain.Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. An accidental sampling technique was used to select 15 infants aged 9 to 24 months. The intervention period lasted for 14 consecutive days, during which the BLW method was implemented at the participants' homes under the guidance of the researcher. Data were collected through observations of infant weight measurements and analyzed using a paired t-test. Results: The study found that the average infant weight increased from 9.53 kg before the BLW intervention to 10.05 kg afterward. A paired t-test revealed a statistically significant difference, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings indicate that complementary feeding using the BLW method effectively increased infant weight. Therefore, the BLW approach is recommended for mothers introducing complementary foods, as it may support optimal growth and development in infants.

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to analyze the influence of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control (PBC) on adolescents' mental health help-seeking intentions among high school students in North Sangatta. Methods: This study uses an observational, cross-sectional design. A sample of 551 respondents was collected via a structured questionnaire distributed via Google Forms to homeroom teachers and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: 43.9% of students with neutral attitude scores had high intentions to seek mental health help; 57.2% of students with high subjective norm scores had high intentions; and 43.9% of students with neutral perceived behavioral control (PBC) scores had high intentions. Parents were the source of health support for the majority of students, and the least accessed sources were online consultation services and through a boyfriend/girlfriend. The results of multiple linear regression tests showed that attitude (p-value: 0.015), subjective norm (p-value: 0.005), and PBC (p-value: 0.001) influenced the outcome, with a correlation coefficient of 7.4%. This means that the variables of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control can explain 7.4% of the variation in mental health help-seeking. Conclusion: The findings reveal that PBC is the most influential variable in mental health help-seeking intention. Increasing mental health literacy for parents and teachers, community support, stigma reduction, and parent participation are necessary to enhance the values of attitude, subjective norm, and PBC among high school students in North Sangatta.

Abstract

Background: Screening is central to global cervical cancer control; however, no district/city in East Java has yet reached the screening target. Participation in Pap smear screening is influenced by multiple determinants, particularly behavioral factors linked to women’s knowledge and motivation; therefore, health education is expected to promote positive behavior change.Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental, one-group pretest–posttest design in Lumajang Regency, East Java, Indonesia, conducted from August 2024 to January 2025. Purposive sampling recruited 63 women from a local community group. The intervention consisted of a structured educational module provided to all respondents. Knowledge and motivation were measured before and after the module using validated questionnaires. Results: The statistical analysis applied to this research was the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for non-normally distributed variables, with α = 0.05. Mean knowledge increased from 8.60 (min 5; max 10) at pretest to 9.57 (min 9; max 10) at posttest. Motivation to undergo Pap smear screening also improved, with mean scores increasing from 23.15 at pretest to 43.95 after the intervention. Shapiro–Wilk tests indicated non-normality for both knowledge and motivation (p < 0.05); thus, Wilcoxon tests were used. Significant differences were observed for knowledge (p < 0.001) and motivation (p < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that module-based health education effectively strengthens women’s knowledge and motivation to participate in Pap smear screening in settings where overall screening coverage remains below the target.

Abstract

Background: To date, no research has explored the synergistic potential between saga leaves (Adenanthera pavonina L.) and sembukan leaves (Paederia foetida L.) in increasing the effectiveness of lowering cholesterol levels. This study aims to evaluate the potential of the combination of saga leaf ethanol extract and sembukan leaf in lowering cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemia mice.Methods: The study used 36 mice divided into six treatment groups, including a negative control group, a positive control, a drug control, and a treatment group with different doses of a combination of ethanol extract of Saga leaves and Sembukan leaves. The spectrophotometer measured lipid levels on days 0, 21, and 24. Data analysis was done using the one-way ANOVA test to determine group differences.Results: The analysis showed that the combination of ethanol extract of saga leaves and sembukan leaves significantly reduced the cholesterol levels of hypercholesterolemia mice (p=0.000). The best dose for cholesterol reduction is 56 mg/20 g body weight (BW) with a 66% reduction.Conclusion: Combining ethanol extract of saga leaves and sembukan leaves at a dose of 56 mg/20 g body weight (BW) effectively reduced cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemia mice. This research may contribute to developing alternative natural therapies to lower cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

Background: Video health promotion media is essential for improving mothers’ knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding. A preliminary study conducted at Anugerah Pekalongan Hospital on December 26-27, 2024, revealed that midwives often fail to educate mothers due to high patient volumes and limited staff. Interviews with 15 pregnant women revealed that 80% had never received information about exclusive breastfeeding, and only 20% received information about exclusive breastfeeding from pregnancy classes, ANC sessions with midwives, and social media. This study aimed to assess the impact of video educational materials on mothers’ understanding of exclusive breastfeeding at Anugerah Pekalongan Hospital.Methods: A quantitative research employing a pre-experimental method and a design involving one group with pretests and posttests. The participants included primigravida pregnant women who attended and received ANC check-ups at Anugerah Pekalongan Hospital. A technique of random sampling was employed with 38 participants.Results: Video educational media successfully enhanced pregnant women's understanding of exclusive breastfeeding at Anugerah Pekalongan Hospital. Data processing with SPSS confirmed this, yielding a p-value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05.Conclusion: Expectant mothers should use educational videos on exclusive breastfeeding to enhance their understanding of it, allowing them to exclusively breastfeed their infants

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability. Muscle weakness and anxiety can impede rehabilitation outcomes and diminish quality of life. Mirror therapy is a low-cost intervention increasingly used in stroke rehabilitation; however, evidence regarding its combined effects on motoric and psychological outcomes remains limited.Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a pretest–posttest control group design with 52 subacute stroke patients randomly allocated to an intervention group (n=26) and a control group (n=26). The study was conducted at a hospital-based stroke rehabilitation center in Central Java, Indonesia, from March to June 2025. The intervention group received mirror therapy for 30 minutes per session, five times weekly for four weeks, alongside standard rehabilitation, whereas the control group received standard rehabilitation only. Muscle strength was assessed using the Medical Research Council (MRC) Scale, and anxiety was measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Paired and independent t-tests were used for within- and between-group analyses.Results: The intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in muscle strength and significant reductions in anxiety scores across both posttest measurements (p<0.001). In contrast, the control group showed no significant changes (p>0.05). Post-intervention comparisons indicated significantly higher muscle strength and lower anxiety levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (p≤0.001).Conclusion: Mirror therapy effectively enhances muscle strength and reduces anxiety in subacute stroke patients. Its simplicity, low cost, and non-invasive nature support its integration into stroke rehabilitation programs, particularly in resource-limited settings.
