Abstract

Athletic performance is often affected by fatigue, which can significantly impact neuromuscular function, power output, and overall movement efficiency. Chronic ankle instability orChronic Ankle Instability (CAI)This is a common condition, particularly among athletes, including netball players. It causes structural and functional impairments, such as ligament laxity and weakened muscle support around the joint.ObjectiveThis study aimed to analyze the effects of a fatigue-inducing protocol on jump height, peak power, peak velocity, and reaction time in netball players. The research method used a quantitative pre-post test design with retrospective data analysis. This study used a fatigue protocol to simulate game-like conditions and analyze performance.Counter Movement Jump(CMJ) before and after fatigue using SPSS software. Paired sample t-tests and correlation analyses were performed to assess performance changes. The results showed that although peak velocity did not show statistically significant changes after fatigue, both peak power and jump height decreased significantly, and fatigue impacted lower limb explosive performance. The difference in jump height with fatigue testing before and after the intervention was statistically significant (p<0.001) indicating a significant change in jump height after the fatigue protocol. Correlation analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between CAI and fatigue-induced performance decline.In conclusion,There is a significant effect of fatigue levels on reducing injury rates in netball players.

Abstract

Object detection is a critical component in various modern applications, including healthcare systems, smart agriculture, and industrial automation. The main challenge in developing detection systems lies in achieving high accuracy and strong generalization capabilities under diverse image conditions. This study aims to implement and evaluate the YOLOv8 model, a detection method known for its speed and efficiency. The model is trained using two scenarios—10 epochs and 50 epochs—to examine the impact of training duration on system performance. Evaluation results show that training for 10 epochs produces very good performance, with a precision of 0.98, recall of 0.94, and mAP of 0.98. Increasing the training to 50 epochs yields even more optimal results, achieving a precision of 0.99, recall of 1.00, and mAP of 0.99. Based on these findings, YOLOv8 demonstrates excellent adaptability to the dataset and is suitable for real-time detection applications that require high accuracy

Abstract

Childbirth readiness is a multidimensional construct encompassing physical, psychological, social, and spiritual preparedness, yet contextually appropriate instruments for Indonesian pregnant women remain limited. This study aimed to develop and pilot test the Childbirth Readiness Questionnaire (CRQ) for third-trimester pregnant women in Indonesia. A methodological pilot design was employed, including expert review (n = 5) and field testing with 110 pregnant women. Content validity was evaluated using the Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI), while preliminary construct performance was examined through descriptive statistics and corrected item–total correlations. Internal consistency reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. All nine items demonstrated acceptable content validity (I-CVI ≥ 0.80) and adequate item–total correlations (r = 0.34–0.61). The overall scale showed satisfactory internal consistency (α = 0.82). Dimension-level descriptive scores supported the conceptual structure of physical–cognitive, psychological–spiritual, and social support readiness. These findings indicate that the CRQ has promising preliminary psychometric properties and is feasible for assessing childbirth readiness among Indonesian third-trimester pregnant women. Further validation with larger and more diverse samples is required to confirm its factorial structure and generalizability

Abstract

Background: Maternal knowledge during the third trimester is critical for timely care-seeking and preparation for childbirth, yet standardized instruments specific to this phase remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to develop and pilot test the Third-trimester Pregnancy Knowledge Questionnaire (TPKQ). Methods: A methodological pilot study involved four experts and 110 third-trimester pregnant women. Items were derived from literature and organized into four dimensions: danger signs and care-seeking, birth preparation and delivery planning, preventive care before birth, and maternal conditions affecting labor outcomes. Content validity was assessed using Item and Scale Content Validity Indexes, response-based validity via corrected item–total correlations, and internal consistency with Cronbach’s alpha. Results: The TPKQ includes 10 multiple-choice items with dichotomous scoring. All items showed acceptable content validity (I-CVI = 0.75–1.00; S-CVI/Ave = 0.93), adequate discrimination (r = 0.36–0.46), and good reliability (α = 0.81). Dimension scores suggested higher knowledge of danger signs and lower knowledge of preventive care. Conclusion: The TPKQ demonstrates preliminary validity and reliability

Abstract

Health is a state of well-being of body, mind, and social life that enables every individual to live productively in social and economic terms. Childbirth is the series of events involving the delivery of a baby that has developed sufficiently in the mother's womb, followed by the expulsion of the placenta and fetal membranes from the mother's body. The main problem commonly reported by women in labor is pain. One non-pharmacological management method to reduce labor pain is endorphin massage. The purpose of this research is to determine the Relationship Between Mothers' Knowledge and the Implementation of Endorphin Massage in Reducing Postpartum Pain at Alisah Clinic in 2025. This research is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study consisted of 35 postpartum mothers. The sample in this study used total population sampling, where the entire population of 35 individuals was taken as the sample. The results show that the majority of mothers had a low level of knowledge, totaling 21 individuals (60%), while the minority had a good level of knowledge, totaling 2 individuals (5.7%). The majority of mothers did not implement endorphin massage to reduce postpartum pain, totaling 31 individuals (88.6%), while the minority did implement it, totaling 4 individuals (11.4%). There is a Relationship Between Mothers' Knowledge Level About Postnatal Massage and the Benefits of Postnatal Massage During the Postpartum Period at AR Razi Clinic in 2025, as indicated by a Sig. value of 0.000 < α value of 0.05. The conclusion of this research is that there is a Relationship Between Mothers' Knowledge and the Implementation of Endorphin Massage in Reducing Postpartum Pain at Alisah Clinic in 2025.

Abstract

This study aims to empirically substantiate the dimensional structure of health communication effectiveness in hospitals operating within conflict zones in the Middle East through a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approach. Secondary data were compiled from 847 medical records and patient surveys drawn from twelve hospitals in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen between 2019 and 2023. The six-dimension CFA model demonstrated exceptionally robust statistical adequacy, indicated by χ²/df = 2.134, CFI = 0.954, TLI = 0.947, RMSEA = 0.042 (90% confidence interval: 0.038-0.046), and SRMR = 0.039. Information clarity emerged as the strongest dimension with a factor loading of λ = 0.891, followed by provider empathy, responsiveness, communication competence, accessibility, and cultural sensitivity, all of which were significant at p < 0.001. Construct reliability was high, with CR = 0.943 and AVE = 0.735. These findings reinforce the work of Epstein et al. (2010) and Street et al. (2009) on the critical importance of patient-centered communication, while extending the current discourse by integrating cultural sensitivity and trauma-informed communication principles that have not yet been examined in conflict settings. This study offers a novel contribution by comprehensively validating the health communication construct in the context of extreme armed conflict
