Abstract

The impact of psychological conditions faced by hypertension patients is stress. This can disrupt physical activity and make the condition more serious if nursing intervention is not provided. Reading the holy Al-Qur'an is one alternative that can reduce stress levels. It is can reduce stress hormones and increase feelings of relaxation and improve body chemistry so that it can reduce blood pressure and stress levels. The study aimed to determine the effect of reading the Al-Qur'an on stress levels in hypertension patients. This study uses quantitative research with a pre-experiment research a one group pre-posttest design. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling, namely respondents with hypertension as many as 63 respondents. The intervention of reading the Al-Qur’an by choosing a surah that the patient is able to do with a moderate tone of voice. The instrument uses the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The results of the study showed that, the average score of stress levels before the intervention for the low category was a mean of 21.56 (SD = 0.72), while the moderate category was the mean score of 38.17 (SD = 4.20). Then the mean score of stress levels after the intervention for the low category was the mean score of 19.10 (SD = 2.87), and the moderate category was the mean score of 25.71 (SD = 3.45). The Wilcoxon test found that the p-value was 0.001 (p <0.05) which means that there is an effect of reading the Qur'an on stress levels in hypertensive patients. It is hoped that to the Muhammadiyah Hospital Palembang can implement the intervention of reading the Al-Qur’an for patients with hypertension which is useful for reducing the stress level of patients.

Abstract

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major global health challenge with low survival rates. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool to enhance early detection, response, and management of OHCA cases. This study explores the current use of AI in OHCA, identifying challenges and opportunities related to its implementation. This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, utilizing a systematic search of international databases to identify relevant literature. A total of 10 studies were included, comprising cohort studies, observational studies, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and pilot projects from 10 different countries. AI implementation in OHCA management demonstrated several opportunities, including improved early detection (increasing sensitivity by 5.5–15% and reducing EMS response time by up to 26 seconds), enhanced decision support for termination of resuscitation (with specificity up to 99.0%), and increased bystander engagement through real-time CPR guidance. However, challenges remain, such as data privacy, ethical concerns (especially with visual surveillance and GDPR compliance), infrastructure limitations, and variability in local protocol. The paradox between faster detection and improved CPR quality was also noted. AI has significant potential to improve OHCA outcomes by optimizing detection, response, and clinical decision-making. Successful implementation requires multidisciplinary collaboration, robust external validation, and ethical considerations to address privacy and local adaptation. Integrating AI into emergency systems and public training can enhance survival rates, but further large-scale studies are needed to ensure effectiveness and equity.

Abstract

Wound healing in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presents a major clinical challenge, particularly due to alterations in body composition such as reduced muscle mass and increased fat mass. This systematic review aimed to synthesize current evidence regarding the impact of body composition on wound healing effectiveness in T2DM patients. Literature was retrieved from PubMed, ProQuest, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar, targeting observational and experimental studies published between 2015 and 2025. Keywords included "type 2 diabetes mellitus", "wound healing", "body composition", "sarcopenia", and "obesity". Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methodological quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist. A total of seven eligible studies were included and analyzed narratively. The findings from the 4 articles analyzed showed that low muscle mass (sarcopenia) and high fat mass (obesity) were associated with delayed wound healing in T2DM patients. Some studies indicate that patients with better body composition balance, such as higher muscle mass index, experience faster wound healing. Heterogeneity in measurement methods and study populations limits the strength of these conclusions. This review supports the hypothesis that body composition significantly influences wound healing outcomes in T2DM. Muscle mass reduction may impair tissue repair by limiting perfusion and immune responses, while increased fat mass may contribute to chronic inflammation that hinders tissue regeneration. Further longitudinal research with standardized assessments is needed. Interventions that promote muscle mass gain and fat mass control may be essential components in wound management strategies for diabetic patients.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of mortality globally. The quality of life of CHD patients is not only influenced by physical conditions, but also by psychological, spiritual, and self-care behaviors. Investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being and self-care with quality of life in coronary heart disease patients in the hospital. This study used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 93 coronary heart disease (CHD) patients receiving outpatient care at Gunung Jati Cirebon City Regional Hospital were selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used were the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory (SC-CHDI), and the SF-36 Health Survey to measure quality of life. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. There was a significant positive relationship between spiritual well-being and quality of life (r = 0.56; p < 0.001), as well as between self-care and quality of life (r = 0.64; p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that both spiritual well-being and self-care significantly influenced quality of life (R² = 0.72; p < 0.001), indicating that these factors together explained 72% of the variance in quality of life among CHD patients. Notably, self-care emerged as the stronger predictor. These findings highlight the critical role of both spirituality and self-care in enhancing patients’ well-being. Integrating spiritual support and self-care education into nursing practice is recommended to improve the quality of life in individuals with coronary heart disease.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a condition caused by the narrowing of the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart. It is the leading cause of death globally and continues to increase, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. In Banten Province, the prevalence of heart disease is reported at 1.4%. Unhealthy lifestyle habits among the general population, including those within academic communities, can raise the risk of CHD and negatively impact quality of life. This study aimed to detect early CHD risk using the Jakarta Cardiovascular Score (JAKVAS) among the academic community of FKIK UNTIRTA to raise awareness and encourage preventive measures. An analytical observational method with a cross-sectional study design was employed. Consecutive sampling was used to assess the relationship between CHD risk factors listed in the JAKVAS as independent variables and CHD risk as the dependent variable. The results showed that 86.7% of the academic community at FKIK UNTIRTA were in the low-risk category, 4.44% in the moderate-risk category, and 8.89% in the high-risk category. The proportion of respondents with high blood pressure was 25.6%, BMI ≥26.00 was 23.3%, smoking history was 20%, diabetes mellitus history was 5.6%, and those aged over 49 years and male were 13.3%. A significant relationship was found between increased CHD risk and factors such as age, gender, blood pressure, BMI, smoking history, and diabetes mellitus. Among these, smoking history (OR 14.458) and BMI (OR 6.685) were the most dominant risk factors. These findings suggest the need to improve awareness among the population regarding cardiovascular health and promote the adoption of healthier lifestyles to reduce future risk.

Abstract

Adolescents are a vulnerable group in the spread of HIV/AIDS due to limited knowledge and a lack of accurate information. Schools, as educational institutions, play a strategic role in providing health education, with midwife positioned to act as change agents in promoting awareness and prevention of HIV/AIDS among students. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of midwife as change agents in improving HIV/AIDS education and prevention among senior high school students. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach was employed. The study involved 110 students selected through total sampling. The intervention consisted of HIV/AIDS education delivered by midwife. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test due to non-normal distribution. Results shows an increase in the median values across all variables following the intervention: the midwife role increased from a median score of 40 to 70, knowledge increased from 35 to 90, and preventive behavior increased from 35 to 80. The Wilcoxon test results indicated a statistically significant difference for all three variables before and after the intervention (ρ = 0,000 < α = 0,05). Most respondents showed improvement across all three variables, indicating the effectiveness of midwife in enhancing HIV/AIDS education and preventive actions. In conclusion, midwife serve effectively as change agents in increasing knowledge and preventive behaviors regarding HIV/AIDS among adolescents in schools. Continued collaboration between the health and education sectors is essential to sustain adolescent health initiatives.

Abstract

Pregnancy in high-risk mothers is often linked to increased oxidative stress, which can cause obstetric complications and impair fetal development. Malondialdehyde (MDA), a byproduct of lipid peroxidation, is a commonly used biomarker to assess oxidative stress levels. Nutritional interventions based on natural antioxidants are gaining attention as a strategy to reduce oxidative stress during pregnancy. Rose cider (Rosa damascena) contains phenolic compounds and flavonoids with antioxidant properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of rose cider supplementation on MDA levels in high-risk pregnant women. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest measurements was conducted involving 60 high-risk pregnant women randomly assigned to two groups: the intervention group received 250 ml of rose cider daily for 30 days, while the control group received a placebo. MDA levels were measured before and after the intervention using the thiobarbiturate (TBA) spectrophotometry method. Results showed a significant reduction in MDA levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). The intervention group’s MDA decreased by 1.87 ± 0.45 μmol/L, whereas the control group’s reduction was only 0.42 ± 0.31 μmol/L. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of antioxidant compounds in rose cider in lowering oxidative stress among high-risk pregnant women. This supports the potential of herbal-based supplements as preventive measures in managing high-risk pregnancies. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects and molecular mechanisms underlying this supplementation.

Abstract

Obesity is a growing global health problem linked to metabolic disorders. Functional foods have emerged as a potential non-pharmacological approach to support obesity management. Dadih, a traditional Indonesian fermented buffalo milk product, contains probiotics but has limited antioxidant capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of selenium-fortified red dragon fruit dadih on obesity markers namely body weight and Lee Index and its functional characteristics in rats induced with a high-fat, high-fructose diet (HFFD). A true experimental design with randomized controlled groups was conducted using 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats divided into four groups: healthy control (K−), obesity control (K+), dadih (Di), and selenium-fortified red dragon fruit dadih (Di+). After 28 days of HFFD induction, Di and Di+ groups received 2 mL /200 g BW/day of dadih for 28 days. At the end of the intervention, the Di+ group exhibited significantly moderated body weight gain (from 278.4 ± 3.36 g to 316.6 ± 2.40 g, p = 0.000) and the lowest Lee Index (296.1), compared to Di (329.8 ± 2.58 g to 316.6 ± 2.40 g, Lee Index: 299.0) and K+ (281.2 ± 2.58 g to 364.4 ± 3.50 g, Lee Index: 343.4). Functional analysis showed that Di+ had higher lactic acid bacteria (7.7 × 10⁸ CFU/g) and antioxidant activity (19.54%) than Di. These findings demonstrate that the combination of probiotics, red dragon fruit bioactives, and selenium synergistically improved metabolic regulation. In conclusion, selenium-fortified red dragon fruit dadih improved the functional quality of the product and showed potential to regulate obesity markers. This formulation offers a promising functional food innovation for obesity management and warrants further clinical investigation.

Abstract

The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity today is associated with various factors, including digital behaviors and the social environment. This study examines the relationships between screen time, sleep duration, attitudes, physical activity, average gaming time, and the number of gaming peers with the incidence of obesity among adolescents. This study is a matched case-control study design. The study population comprises adolescents aged 16–18, encompassing both case and control groups. The case population includes adolescents with obesity in Leuwisari District, while the control population comprises non-obese adolescents from the same location. Case samples were determined based on data from the AUSREM Program, identifying 42 obese adolescents. Meanwhile, the control sample consists of non-obese adolescents selected purposively with a 1:1 matching ratio to the case group, ensuring comparable characteristics. Consequently, the total sample size for this study amounts to 84 participants. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires. Data analysis for screen time, sleep duration, attitudes, and physical activity used the McNemar test. Meanwhile, Pearson correlation was applied to measure the correlation between average gaming time and the number of gaming friends. The results indicate that variables significantly associated with adolescent obesity include screen time (OR=6.33, p=0.000), sleep duration (OR=4.25, p=0.004), Adolescents' attitudes toward obesity (OR=8.17, p=0.004), physical activity (OR=6.00, p=0.004), average gaming time (r=0.624, p = 0.012), and number of gaming friends (r=0.509, p = 0.000).

Abstract

Drug Plan and Control (Drug PC) application is a web-based digital tool designed to support pharmaceutical management in healthcare facilities by assisting in the planning, monitoring, and control of drug inventories.  This study aimed to enhance the Drug PC (Plan and Control) application by integrating a drug categorization feature to improve pharmaceutical inventory control. Efficient inventory management is critical in healthcare, as poor control can lead to shortages, overstocking, and financial inefficiencies. The application was developed using PHP as the programming language and MySQL as the database management system. Drug categorization was performed using the ABC method, the VEN method, and a combination of both (ABC-VEN matrix). To evaluate the application's performance, Blackbox testing was conducted to assess the functionality of the user interface. In addition, manual calculations using Microsoft Excel were performed to validate and compare the application results with drug inventory data from two hospitals. Ethical approval was obtained from the Health Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Tadulako University. The results demonstrated successful integration and 100% functionality accuracy of the new features. Categorization outputs aligned fully with manual data. Hospital 1 followed a typical ABC distribution (70:20:10%), while Hospital 2 showed deviations. VEN classification revealed a significantly higher proportion of Vital (V) drugs in Hospital 1 compared to Hospital 2 (p < 0.05). Combined ABC-VEN results showed CE (C + Essential) as the most common group. High-cost drugs (Category I) represented the majority of investment in both hospitals. In conclusion, the study shows that integrating categorization methods into digital tools like Drug PC can enhance drug inventory control, improve procurement planning, and optimize healthcare resource allocation.
