Abstract

The incidence of breast cancer has increased and is ranked first in relation to cancer in Indonesia and is one of the leading causes of death due to cancer with the number of new cases reaching 68,858 cases. This incident can be prevented by early detection which can be done by self-breast examination. The purpose of this study was to see whether there was an influence of audio-visual educational media on the knowledge and attitudes of female adolescents at SMAN 5 Pekanbaru regarding self-breast examination (SADARI). This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental method with a sample size of81 people were taken by proportioned stratified random sampling. The analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test. The results obtained were that there was an influence of audiovisual educational media on the Knowledge and Attitudes of adolescent girls with a pvalue of 0.000 for knowledge and 0.000 for attitudes. It is hoped that in the future the provision of information can be done using audiovisual media.

Abstract

Limited hamstring flexibility and decreased knee extension range of motion (ROM) are risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries in recreational female runners. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) with nerve glide in improving hamstring flexibility and knee extension ROM. This quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test study involved 20 female runners from the Solo Runners community, who were randomly assigned to two groups (PNF and nerve glide, n=10 each). Both groups underwent 12 intervention sessions over 4 weeks (3 times/week). Flexibility was measured using the Sit and Reach Test (SRT), while knee extension ROM was measured using the Active Knee Extension (AKE) test. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, paired t-test, and Mann–Whitney U test. Both interventions significantly improved hamstring flexibility (PNF Δ=+7.1 cm, p=0.004; nerve glide Δ=+5.4 cm, p=0.004) and knee extension ROM (PNF Δ=−13.2°, p<0.001; nerve glide Δ=−10.1°, p=0.005). The improvement in flexibility was greater in the PNF group than in the nerve glide group (p=0.001), whereas the between-group difference in Δ ROM was not statistically significant (p=0.057). PNF is more effective than nerve glide in improving hamstring flexibility, whereas both techniques yield similar results in improving knee extension ROM. The selection of technique should be tailored to the primary source of movement limitation, whether muscle-dominant or nerve-related.

Abstract

The worldwide population of older adults is growing, which may yield a demographic bonus; yet, this growth simultaneously heightens frailty risk among the elderly. The dynamic and reversible nature of frailty provides opportunities and challenges in overcoming the aging process. Multicomponent exercise and concurrent exercise are two prominent forms of exercise in elderly exercise programs to reduce frailty risk. This research was to prove the difference in the effect of multicomponent exercise and concurrent exercise on reducing frailty risk in the elderly in Karangasem. Pre and post-test two group methods were used in this study’s true experimental design. Twenty-two participants were chosen by a simple random sample technique and subsequently divided into two groups: the multicomponent exercise group (n = 11) and the concurrent exercise group (n = 11). The exercises were given 3 times for 8 weeks. Frailty risk was assessed based on the Fried's Frailty Phenotype criteria. The Paired Sample T-test results indicated a significant difference in frailty risk reduction before and after exercise in both the multicomponent exercise group (p = 0.001; p < 0.05) and the concurrent exercise group (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). The Independent Samples T-test results indicated no significant difference in frailty risk reduction between the multicomponent exercise group and the concurrent exercise group (p = 0.318; p > 0.05). Based on the study’s findings, multicomponent exercise and concurrent exercise are equally good in reducing frailty risk in the elderly in Karangasem.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased anxiety and depression prevalence among young adults globally, with Indonesia experiencing substantial mental health challenges. Mobile application-based cognitive behavioral therapy (mCBT) interventions have emerged as promising solutions to address these widespread mental health issues. Objective: This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a mobile CBT application in reducing anxiety and depression symptoms among Indonesian young adults in the post-COVID-19 pandemic period through comprehensive qualitative analysis. Methods: A mixed-methods randomized controlled trial was conducted with 25 young adults aged 18-25 years. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either the mCBT intervention or waitlist control. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and thematic analysis following a phenomenological approach. Results: Thematic analysis revealed six major themes: Digital Therapeutic Alliance (89 mentions), Behavioral Change Process (92 mentions), Empowerment Through Technology (76 mentions), Resilience Building (67 mentions), Social Connection in Digital Space (54 mentions), and Challenges and Barriers (43 mentions). Participants demonstrated significant improvements in coping mechanisms, stress management, and emotional regulation through the mCBT intervention. Conclusions: Mobile CBT applications show promising efficacy in addressing post-pandemic anxiety and depression among Indonesian young adults. The intervention facilitated meaningful behavioral changes, enhanced self-efficacy, and provided accessible mental health support during challenging recovery periods

Abstract

The Integrated Health Service Post (Pos Pelayanan Terpadu), better known as POSYANDU, serves as a means for community health empowerment because its implementation model is activated and initiated by the community, aligned with their respective needs. The role of cadres (health volunteers) in organizing Posyandu is crucial, as they are not only providers of health information to the community but also community mobilizers, encouraging people to visit the Posyandu and adopt clean and healthy living behaviors. The objective of this study was to determine the role of cadres in the implementation of Posyandu activities in Pudun Jae Lk I Village, within the working area of the Batunadua Health Center, Padangsidimpuan City, in 2025. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. There were 10 informants in this study, consisting of 4 mothers with toddlers, 4 Posyandu cadres, 1 health worker, and 1 Posyandu leader. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative descriptive methods, and data validity was ensured through data triangulation. The study results indicated that cadres had not yet fulfilled their roles in managing malnutrition among toddlers. Obstacles faced by the cadres included a lack of knowledge about Posyandu, particularly concerning malnutrition, due to a lack of training. The conclusion of this study is that the role of cadres in implementing Posyandu activities in Pudun Jae Lk I Village, Batunadua Health Center working area, Padangsidimpuan City, has not been carried out optimally. It is recommended that Posyandu cadres and officers enhance the knowledge and skills of cadres, particularly in toddler nutrition, and improve counseling programs for mothers regarding Posyandu and its benefits for mothers and toddlers
