Abstract

Communication between health workers is crucial in providing nursing care and improving patient safety. Communication problems can cause incidents that lead to disability or death. This study aimed to identify the implementation of handoff communication using sbar in the emergency department and intensive care unit. This review used a scoping review design that uses the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Article searches through two databases, namely Sciencedirect and Pubmed, and the search engine, Google Scholar. The keywords used were "Health workers or Healthcare professionals AND SBAR implementation or SBAR or Handoff Communication AND Emergency rooms or Emergency departments AND Intensive Care Unit". There were nine articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in this study. The results of the review showed that the description of the implementation of handoff or SBAR communication, studies showed variations in the effectiveness of its implementation in various countries and health settings. There are several factors that influence the implementation of SBAR and the implementation of handoff, namely work experience, attitudes, knowledge, and formal training. Implementation of handoff communication and SBAR still shows substansial challenges, both in terms of effectiveness and quality. Although SBAR has been widely recognized as an effective tool to improve communication, its implementation is uneven across countries and health settings. SBAR implementation is often disrupted by factors such as external interference, lack of training, or incomplete information conveyed during the handover process, which ultimately affects patient safety.

Abstract

Hemodialysis patients' self-management is critical for maintaining their quality of life and minimizing complications. Patients' health literacy and perception of the disease are essential for their acceptance of the condition and treatment. However, the relationship between these variables and self-management among hemodialysis patients remains unclear. This study aims to identify the relationship between health literacy, perception of disease, and self-management among hemodialysis patients. This correlational study was cross-sectional design, with 129 hemodialysis patients consecutively recruited from a hemodialysis unit of a tertiary hospital in West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected using the Brief-Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief-IPQ), the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q47), and the End Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire (ESRD-AQ). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. Most of the patients had sufficient or excellent health literacy (74.4%), negative illness perception (50.4%), and low self-management practices (71.3%). Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation was found between health literacy and self-management practices (r = .189; ρ=0.032). Additionally, there was a negative correlation between illness perception and health literacy (r = -.27; ρ= .002) as well as between illness perception and self-management practices (r = -.762; ρ= .000). Positive illness perception and better self-management practices correlate with a higher level of health literacy. These findings highlight the importance for healthcare staff to facilitate positive illness perceptions and self-management practices, and to consider these factors as vital aspects in developing self-management education programs for ESRD patients.

Abstract

Hemoglobin (Hb) is a component of red blood cells that functions to transport oxygen throughout the body. Decreased hemoglobin levels cause anemia. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that ideal Hb levels are ≥11 gr/dL. Various factors such as ethnicity, environmental conditions, age, culture, parity, nutritional value, and socioeconomic status can affect the occurrence of anemia during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of Hb levels in pregnant women in the first and third trimesters, both in indigenous Papuans (OAP) and non-OAP. This type of research is quantitative analytic with a comparative research design. The population in this study were 290 pregnant women who came and underwent examinations at the Malawili Health Center. The number of pregnant women in this study was 36 people. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The results showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) in hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in the first and third trimesters in the OAP and Non-OAP categories. The average hemoglobin level of pregnant women in the first trimester who were anemic and not anemic was 11,076 and in the third trimester it was 10,850. The results of the study showed that the incidence of anemia was more common in pregnant women in the third trimester who did not receive iron and folic acid supplementation (non-OAP) due to lack of knowledge about the preparations needed during pregnancy. It is recommended to increase the role of health workers in providing information to pregnant women in order to reduce the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women and significantly affects patients' quality of life. Beyond physical symptoms, patients often experience emotional and social burdens that deteriorate their overall well-being. While medical and psychosocial interventions are widely applied, spiritual aspects are often underemphasized. Therefore, spiritual-based interventions are needed to support recovery by fostering hope, emotional stability, and a sense of life meaning.To explore the effectiveness of spiritual-based interventions in improving the quality of life of breast cancer patients. This study employed a systematic review design. Articles were retrieved from three databases CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus using the main keywords: “breast cancer,” “quality of life,” “spiritual care,” and “spiritual intervention.” Inclusion criteria were original research articles, written in English, published between 2011 and 2025, and involving breast cancer patients. Data were extracted using structured tables and analyzed descriptively using qualitative synthesis. Seven eligible studies demonstrated that spiritual-based interventions, such as prayer, group therapy, meditation, and religious counseling, positively affect the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Key outcomes included enhanced hope, reduced pain, improved emotional, physical, and social well-being, stronger spiritual resilience, better coping mechanisms, and increased social support through group-based activities. Spiritual-based interventions significantly improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients through a holistic approach, integrating physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions.

Abstract

The Puskesmas accreditation enhances public health service quality, but its role in stunting prevention is underexplored. Stunting, a critical public health issue, is influenced by healthcare services and socioeconomic factors, including family economic conditions. This study examines the impact of Puskesmas accreditation on stunting prevention in Jeneponto (highest stunting rate) and Barru (lowest stunting rate) in South Sulawesi. Using cross-sectional data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutritional Status Study, analyzed hierarchical data (individual, family, and district levels) comprising 192 mothers, (89 mothers in Jeneponto and 103 in Barru) with infants aged 0–23 months. Descriptive and multilevel binary logistic regression analyses were conducted. At the individual level, stunting was linked to basic education (aOR 3.26; 95% CI: 1.38–7.70) and non-exclusive breastfeeding (aOR 3.64; 95% CI: 1.25–10.6). At the family level, inadequate sanitation (aOR 0.16; 95% CI: 0.03–0.84), higher asset ownership (aOR 0.13; 95% CI: 0.03–0.54). At the district level, Puskesmas accreditation was associated with lower odds of stunting (aOR 0.32; 95% CI: 0.11–0.93). The findings highlight the importance of maintaining Puskesmas accreditation and addressing socioeconomic disparities, such as family economic conditions, to ensure sustainable stunting prevention.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths after lung cancer, highlighting the urgent need for more effective therapies with minimal side effects. Begonia medicinalis has been reported to have potential anticancer properties. This study aimed to evaluate the anticancer activity of Begonia medicinalis extract by assessing neutrophil concentration in a 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced colorectal cancer rat model. The research employed a laboratory-based experimental approach with a post-test-only group design, comprising five groups with five replications each: treatment group I receiving a 25 mg/kg body weight, treatment group II receiving a 50 mg/kg body weight, treatment group III receiving a 100 mg/kg body weight, an normal group that was not DMBA-induced and did not receive therapy, and a negative control group that was DMBA-induced but did not receive therapy. The results of this study demonstrate that Begonia medicinalis extract effectively suppresses neutrophil concentration in a DMBA-induced colorectal cancer rat model. Treatment with 50 mg/kg body weight and 100 mg/kg body weight doses successfully reduced neutrophil cell levels in the experimental subjects, with the best results seen at the 100 mg/kg body weight dosage. This study provides new insights into the effects of plant-based therapies, Begonia medicinalis extract, in modulating the immune system by suppressing neutrophil concentration in a colorectal cancer rat model.

Abstract

Chronic exposure to cotton dust in the textile manufacturing industry has been a possible risk factor for pulmonary obstruction. Not many studies, however, have investigated its impact in combination with personal variables like age, gender, and length of service, particularly in developing countries. The present study investigated the impact of cotton dust exposure, age, gender, and length of service on the incidence of pulmonary obstruction among textile workers in Surakarta, Indonesia. Observational analytic study using cross-sectional design was done on 88 eligible workers. Quantitation of exposure to cotton dust was done with a High-Volume Air Sampler and lung function ascertained using spirometry. Data analysis was done through simple and multiple binary logistic regression at a significance level of 0.05. The incidence of pulmonary obstruction was 56.8%. Being exposed to cotton dust levels exceeding the threshold limit value (TLV) of 0.2 mg/m³ significantly increased the risk of pulmonary obstruction (OR: 4.18; 95% CI: 1.51–11.63; p=0.006). Employment duration was also significantly associated with pulmonary obstruction (OR: 1.21 per year; 95% CI: 1.03–1.44; p=0.023), while age and gender were not significant predictors. The accuracy of the final model was 75%, which is considered to be acceptable in occupational health studies in predictive modeling. The current research reaffirms that long-term exposure to cotton dust and extended working hours are critical risk factors for pulmonary obstruction in textile industry workers. Therefore, it is recommended to long-working-hour employees to have proper control of the exposure and continuous lung function monitoring.

Abstract

Inflammation is a response to tissue injury or infection. Fruits such as mango, oranges, and dragon fruit contain nutrients that can reduce levels of inflammation in the body. This study aimed to investigate the effect of mango, orange, and dragon fruit on C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in experimental animals. This study was conducted using a randomized controlled pre-posttest design with 30 Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups, group K1 without treatment, group K2 only received high fat diet (HFD), group K3 received HFD with intervention of gedong gincu mango at a dose of 3.6g/200g weight, group K4 received HFD with intervention of sweet orange at a dose of 9ml/200g weight, and K5 group receiving HFD with intervention of red dragon fruit at a dose of 3.6g/200g weight. Compared to Pre-test, Group K3, K4 and K5 had an average change of CRP levels at post-test: -1.30±0.08mg/L, -1.39±0.04 mg/L and -1.48±0.09 mg/L respectively. All samples resulted in reduction of CRP levels in Sprague-Dawley rats with Red dragon fruit showed greater effect compared to other fruits.

Abstract

Street food is widely consumed by people in developing countries and often poses health risks due to bacterial contamination. The consumption of contaminated food has been linked to more than 200 types of diseases, resulting in 600 million cases and 420,000 deaths each year. One commonly found bacterium is Enterobacter, which can be pathogenic and exhibit resistance to various antibiotics. This review aims to assess the dangers of Enterobacter contamination in street food, including the level and source of contamination, pathogenicity, and management strategies. The review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines, with literature searches performed in scientific databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar using Boolean operators and relevant keywords. Articles were selected based on specific inclusion criteria, analyzed, and grouped for ease of interpretation. The results showed that Enterobacter contamination is prevalent in developing countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Pakistan, India, and Indonesia. Nigeria recorded the highest prevalence, with E. aerogenes reaching 100% in ready-to-eat rice. The primary source of contamination is raw materials, particularly wheat flour, which contains E. sakazakii with a prevalence of 100%. Enterobacter can cause various serious infections, including urinary tract infections, meningitis, pneumonia, and septicemia. Efforts to reduce Enterobacter contamination in street food should include the implementation of hygiene and sanitation practices, the use of safe raw materials, proper processing and storage methods, education for vendors, and routine food safety supervision. These findings are crucial for supporting public health interventions and developing effective food safety policies.

Abstract

Approximately 60% of acceptors expressed dissatisfaction with contraceptive counseling services, which has resulted in a 0.7% decrease in modern contraceptive use in the last five years. One important factor in the sustainability of contraceptive use is the suitability of the acceptor's medical condition. This study aimed to determine the relationship between medical appropriateness and plans for continued use of the IUD-Cu. This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through structured interviews using a Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC) application-based questionnaire. This application was created by WHO based on the 5th edition of the 2015 MEC for Contraceptive use guidebook. The sample was purposively selected, and 280 IUD-Cu acceptors were obtained. Univariate analysis was performed with frequency distribution and categorization of medical eligibility, while bivariate analysis used Chi-Square test and Prevalence Ratio (PR) with 95% CI. The results showed that 92.9% of acceptors were medically fit to use IUD-Cu, while 7.1% were not fit. A total of 12.1% of acceptors planned to change contraceptives. There was a significant association between medical eligibility and plans to continue using the IUD-Cu (p = 0.000; PR = 3.077; 95% CI: 1.574-6.015), indicating that medically eligible acceptors had 3.077 times greater potential to continue using the IUD-Cu than those who were not eligible. Therefore, it is recommended to optimize pre-installation screening of IUD-Cu with medical criteria-based tools so that the sustainability of contraceptive use can be maintained and women's reproductive rights are maximally fulfilled.
