Abstract

Early childhood is a critical period for the basic development of physical, social, and cognitive aspects. One of the nutritional problems that often occurs is overnutrition. This study aims to determine the factors of gender, history of birth weight, history of breastfeeding, and consumption of formula milk related to the incidence of overnutrition in early childhood in urban and rural areas. This study uses secondary data from the 2023 SKI data. The design of this study is a cross-sectional study, a population of children aged 0-24 months with a sample size of 417 children. Univariate data analysis, a Chi-square test to explore differences in place of residence in overnutrition status, and bivariate (logistic regression) with the help of Stata software version 17. The results show that 7.26% of early childhood children who experience overnutrition live in rural areas, and 6.83% live in urban areas. There was no significant association between male gender (OR=0.99, 95% CI=0.40–2.46), history of risky birth weight (OR=1.00, 95% CI=0.54–3.28), non-exclusive breastfeeding (OR=1.16, 95% CI=0.40–3.31), or consumption of formula milk (OR=1.32, 95% CI=0.46–3.79) in urban areas with overnutrition (p>0.05). There was no significant association between male gender (OR=0.99, 95% CI=0.25–3.90), history of high-risk birth weight (OR=1.00, 95% CI=0.99–1.00), non-exclusive breastfeeding (OR=0.77, 95% CI=0.15–3.92), or formula milk consumption (OR=0.84, 95% CI=0.16–4.31) in rural areas with overnutrition (p>0.05). These findings suggest that although gender, history of birth weight, history of breastfeeding, and consumption of formula milk were not significantly associated with overnutrition in early childhood, interventions should focus on structural determinants such as maternal education and access to exclusive breastfeeding support, especially in rural communities.

Abstract

Galohgor nutraceutical, a traditional herbal formulation from Sundanese-Indonesia, has long been used for its health benefits, including antidiabetic potential. However, studies on α-glucosidase inhibition in its new formulation remain limited. This study aimed to assess the antioxidant activity, α-glucosidase inhibitory potential of the reformulated (F2) of Galohgor Nutraceutical, and its effect on malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The methods used a completely randomized design (CRD). Antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibitory effect were evaluated using the DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method and α-glucosidase inhibition assay. MDA levels were analyzed in vivo using serum samples from mice treated with the reformulated (F2) of Galohgor Nutraceutical. The statistical analysis used was an independent t-test. The results the reformulated (F2) of Galohgor Nutraceutical extract exhibited antioxidant activity, with IC₅₀ values of 2904.06 ppm, while ascorbic acid, used as a positive control, had a significantly lower IC₅₀ value of 8.20 ppm. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the reformulated (F2) extracts showed IC₅₀ values of 30.833,14 ppm, respectively, which were considerably higher than the positive control, acarbose (IC₅₀= 0.16±0.001 ppm). Administrating of the Galohgor extract at a dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight successfull reduced MDA levels. Although not statistically significant (p = 0.131), the observed reduction in MDA levels suggests a protective potential against oxidative stress. The reformulated (F2) of Galohgor Nutraceutical extract has potential as a natural antioxidant and antidiabetic agent

Abstract

Health crises and natural disasters increasingly threaten communities worldwide, exacerbated by urbanization, climate change, and the vulnerability of populations in high-risk areas. Urban poor communities, in particular, are at heightened risk, making robust frameworks for health impact assessments essential. Local communities, with their deep understanding of social, cultural, and geographic dynamics, play a crucial role in disaster and health crisis management. Their involvement enhances resilience, facilitates timely responses, and supports post-disaster recovery, as demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters like floods and earthquakes. Despite the significant potential of local communities, challenges such as limited resources, poor coordination, and insufficient policy support hinder their effectiveness. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) explores the roles and contributions of local communities in responding to health crises and disasters, identifying successful strategies, key influencing factors, and gaps in the current research. The review emphasizes the importance of empowering local communities through effective training, resource management, and cross-sector collaboration. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders, offering guidance on strengthening community involvement as an integral component of health crisis and disaster mitigation strategies. The active engagement of local communities, supported by government policies, education, and strong networks, is essential for building resilient societies capable of managing future health and environmental challenges.

Abstract

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a global health concern requiring effective self-care, yet barriers such as limited social support and education persist. Peer teaching has emerged as a potential strategy to enhance self-care in GDM patients, though evidence of its effectiveness remains scarce. This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the impact of peer teaching on diabetes self-care behaviors among GDM patients. The study involved 80 pregnant women with GDM, divided into an intervention group (receiving peer teaching) and a control group (receiving standard care). The intervention consisted of weekly 90-minute peer-led sessions over four weeks, focusing on practical self-care strategies. Self-care behaviors were assessed using the Diabetes Self-Management Instrument (DSMI) at baseline and post-intervention. Results revealed significant improvements in all DSMI subscales (self-integration, self-regulation, interaction with healthcare providers, self-monitoring, and adherence to therapy) in the intervention group (p < 0.001), with no comparable changes observed in the control group. The findings demonstrate that peer teaching effectively enhances self-care practices in GDM patients, particularly in glucose monitoring and treatment adherence. These results support integrating peer-led education into routine antenatal care for GDM, especially in resource-limited settings. Future research should explore long-term outcomes and scalability to strengthen implementation strategies

Abstract

Breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often experience significant side effects that impact their physical and psychosocial well-being, necessitating a clear understanding of their supportive care needs for effective patient management. This study aimed to describe the supportive care needs among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at a regional public hospital in Gorontalo, Indonesia. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 38 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at RSUD Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe, recruited via consecutive sampling. Supportive care needs were assessed using the Supportive Care Needs Survey Short Form 34 (SCNS-SF34). The data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distributions to determine the proportion of patients reporting unmet needs in various domains. The highest prevalence of unmet supportive care needs was identified in the physical domain, with 57.9% (n=22) of respondents indicating a need for support. Lower levels of unmet needs were reported for the psychological domain (39.5%, n=15 needing support), the sexual domain (23.7%, n=9 needing support), and the information domain (13.2%, n=5 needing support). Notably, no respondents (0%) reported unmet needs in the care support domain, indicating this aspect of care was perceived as thoroughly met. Physical symptoms represent the most prominent area of unmet supportive care needs for breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in this Gorontalo hospital setting. While care support appears satisfactory, targeted interventions focusing on managing physical side effects are crucial for improving patient well-being during treatment.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant global health issue requiring effective patient self-management to prevent severe complications like cardiovascular disease and organ damage. Health education is crucial for empowering patients, and booklets offer a cost-effective, accessible, and structured medium for delivering essential information. This scoping review investigated the use and impact of booklet-based education for DM patients. Following the Arksey and O'Malley framework, researchers searched CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus databases for original English-language studies published between 2015 and 2024, using keywords related to diabetes, education, and booklets. From the search, 11 relevant articles were selected for analysis. The findings consistently showed that using booklets as an educational intervention effectively improved DM patients' knowledge, self-efficacy, and self-care behaviours. Key themes identified included the direct impact of booklets on knowledge enhancement, the benefit of combining theoretical information with practical application advice within the booklets, and the important role of family support in successful diabetes management, which can be facilitated by shared educational materials. The success of booklets is attributed to their structured format, ease of understanding, and continuous accessibility for patients. Factors influencing the effectiveness of this educational approach include patient literacy levels, the degree of family involvement, and the frequency of educational reinforcement. In conclusion, booklet-based education is a proven, effective strategy for improving self-management components in DM patients. The review highlights booklets as affordable and flexible tools, while also suggesting areas for future research, particularly concerning long-term clinical outcomes and the potential for integrating booklet content with modern digital health.

Abstract

Vascular complications in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, presenting a considerable impact on quality of life and global health burden. Although diabetes management continues to improve, vascular complications remain a major challenge. It is important to understand the factors that influence these complications to support more effective prevention and management. To explore the factors influencing vascular complications in patients with DM. This study used a literature review method. Articles were searched through three major databases, namely CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus, using keywords such as "vascular complications," "DM," and "factors affecting." Inclusion criteria included English-language articles published within the last ten years (2016–2025), in the form of original research relevant to vascular complications in patients with DM. Data were extracted manually using a table that included authors, objectives, design, samples, variables, and outcomes. Analysis was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach to identify key themes. A total of 14 articles met the inclusion criteria. From the analysis, six main themes were obtained: biochemical factors and biomarkers, clinical factors, cardiometabolic risk factors, vascular structural and anatomical changes, molecular mechanisms, and prevalence of vascular complications. The results showed that high HbA1c levels, hypertension, diabetes duration of more than 10 years, and increased biomarkers such as Bisphenol A (BPA) significantly increased the risk of vascular complications. Vascular complications in patients with DM are multifactorial, involving complex interactions between biochemical, clinical, and molecular factors.

Abstract

Food consumption diversity is an important indicator for assessing the quality of people's diets, especially in the context of urbanization, which affects preferences and access to different types of food. The imbalance of macronutrient consumption, such as the dominance of carbohydrates and low intake of protein and fat, is a public health challenge in Indonesia, including the West Kalimantan region. This study aimed to analyze macronutrient consumption and evaluate the Desirable Dietary Pattern (DDP) score of people in urban areas of West Kalimantan in 2023. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach involving 200 households in Pontianak and Singkawang cities. Data were collected through a food consumption survey and analyzed based on the average consumption of energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates, as well as the DDP score. The results showed that the average energy and protein consumption in both cities were relatively similar, at approximately 1900 Kcal and 50 Kcal/capita/day, respectively. However, there were significant differences in fat and carbohydrate consumption, with Pontianak recording higher values. The DDP scores were good, at 89.7 in Pontianak and 86.8 in Singkawang. However, there are still inequalities in consumption between food groups, especially the low consumption of oily fruits/seeds, tubers, and nuts. In conclusion, although the energy consumption and food diversity of the community are relatively good, improvements are needed in the distribution of consumption between food groups to support a more balanced and sustainable diet for the community.

Abstract

Aging is marked by physiological and psychological changes, including diminished immune function that increases susceptibility to infections and chronic diseases. This study explores the role of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in preventing immune system dysfunction among the elderly using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were collected through surveys assessing EI and immune biomarkers (IL-6, CRP, cortisol), while qualitative interviews explored emotional regulation strategies and perceived impacts on immune health. The results revealed a significant inverse correlation between EI levels and inflammatory markers, including IL-6 (r = -0.45, p < 0.01) and CRP (r = -0.38, p < 0.05). Participants with higher EI scores also demonstrated more stable cortisol rhythms and better vaccine response rates (p < 0.05). Results show that higher EI levels in older adults are linked to lower inflammation, greater stress resilience, and improved immune homeostasis. These findings suggest that EI acts not only as a psychological asset but also as a physiological buffer, modulating neuroimmune pathways crucial for systemic health in aging. Qualitative insights highlighted adaptive emotional regulation strategies—such as mindfulness, proactive coping, and emotional reframing—as key contributors to immune resilience. Social connectedness, self-awareness, and stress management emerged as vital components of psychological and physiological well-being. This study advocates for integrating EI-based interventions—such as mindfulness training, emotional coaching, and social-emotional learning—into geriatric care. By adopting a holistic biopsychosocial model, EI can serve as a strategic tool for enhancing immune function and overall well-being among older adults.

Abstract

This research aims to assess the water quality status of Youtefa Bay in Jayapura City using the Coastal Water Quality Index (CWQI) method. Youtefa Bay is an important ecological area with mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef ecosystems that currently face anthropogenic pressures. A quantitative approach with descriptive analytical design was conducted through sampling at 12 stations during the dry season (June) and rainy season (November) 2024. Parameters measured included physical aspects (temperature, transparency, turbidity, TSS, salinity), chemical aspects (pH, DO, BOD, COD, nitrate, phosphate, ammonia, heavy metals), and biological aspects (chlorophyll-a, coliform, E. coli, phytoplankton). Results showed that the overall CWQI value for Youtefa Bay was 71.24 (classified as "Fair"). Significant spatial variation was observed with residential zones having the lowest CWQI (58.75, "Marginal"), port zones (62.41, "Marginal"), mangrove zones (68.35, "Fair"), and the central bay area having the highest value (83.42, "Good"). Principal Component Analysis identified eutrophication-related parameters (turbidity, TSS, BOD, nitrate, phosphate) as the main determinants of water quality, contributing 43.65% of the total variance. Temporal analysis showed lower water quality during the rainy season (CWQI=62.8) compared to the dry season (CWQI=74.5). Strong correlations were found between anthropogenic activities and water quality, with population density negatively correlated (r=-0.854) and mangrove cover positively correlated (r=0.765). Sustainable management strategies were formulated, prioritizing domestic waste management, mangrove rehabilitation, development of integrated monitoring systems, community empowerment, and strengthening stakeholder coordination. This research provides a scientific basis for effective bay management
