Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) in children remains a public health problem due to the high risk of transmission after close contact with adult TB patients, especially within families. Household-based prevention requires adequate knowledge and behavior from caregivers. Booklets can be used as educational tools because they present information systematically, are easy to understand, can be studied independently, and can be reread. Purpose: Analyzing the influence of health education using booklets on caregiver knowledge and behavior in preventing TB in children. Methods: This quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design involved 38 caregivers of TB patients' families at the Muara Dua Community Health Center, Lhokseumawe City, selected using the Total Sampling Technique. The intervention provided was health education using a booklet, each lasting 30 minutes over two sessions. Measurements were taken before the intervention and seven days after the intervention using a knowledge and behavior questionnaire consisting of 15 questions. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The mean knowledge score increased from 4.16 ± 1.386 to 13.08 ± 1.260, with a mean increase of 8.921 points (p<0.001). The mean behavior score increased from 4.05 ± 1.627 to 12.50 ± 1.736, with a mean increase of 8.447 points (p<0.001). These findings indicate a significant increase in caregiver knowledge and behavior after being given booklet-based health education. Conclusion: Health education using booklets has the potential to improve caregivers' knowledge and behavior regarding TB prevention in children. This medium can be considered a practical and sustainable educational tool to strengthen family-based TB prevention.

Abstract

Background: Effective disaster response requires healthcare workers to prioritize appropriate actions in emergency situations. For nursing students, experience, disaster-related knowledge, and preparedness are considered essential competencies; however, evidence regarding their relationship to disaster response prioritization is limited. Purpose: To analyze the factors of experience, knowledge, and preparedness as predictors for determining disaster response priorities among nursing students. Methods: This cross-sectional, observational, analytical study involved 73 final-semester Diploma Three Nursing students selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a modified disaster preparedness perception questionnaire to measure experience, knowledge, preparedness, and disaster response priorities. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, heat map visualization, and ordinal logistic regression. Results: The results of ordinal logistic regression indicate that knowledge of social disasters is the strongest predictor of students' disaster response priorities (β < 0; p < 0.05). Greater knowledge of social disasters is associated with students' tendency to actively assist victims rather than simply following the directions of formal authorities. Knowledge of non-natural disasters also contributes to response priorities, but the correlation is weaker. Disaster experience and general preparedness do not show a statistically significant relationship with disaster response priorities. Conclusion: Specific knowledge of disaster types plays a greater role in determining students' response priorities than direct experience and general preparedness. Strengthening disaster education needs to emphasize the characteristics, risks, and response measures for each type of disaster through contextual, inclusive, and simulation-based learning.

Abstract

Background: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior in nursing students plays a strategic role not only in maintaining individual health but also as a foundation for developing promotive and preventive competencies that will be applied in nursing practice. Variations in characteristics such as gender and study period have the potential to be factors in the implementation of PHBS in students. Purpose: To find out the implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior and the relationship between gender and study period of students with Clean and Healthy Living Behavior in the Diploma III Nursing Study Program in North Aceh, Poltekkes Kemenkes Aceh. Methods: This type of quantitative research uses an analytical approach and a cross-sectional design. The study population was all students of the Diploma III Nursing Study Program in North Aceh, Poltekkes Kemenkes Aceh, with a sample of 132 students selected using a proportional stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used was a Clean and Healthy Living Behavior questionnaire whose validity had been tested (r count value > r table). Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: There were 77.1% of students who had good Clean and Healthy Living Behavior implementation and 22.9% were in the poor category. The results of the bivariate analysis test showed a significant relationship between gender (p = 0.041) and study period (p = 0.032) with Clean and Healthy Living Behavior implementation in Diploma III Nursing Study Program students. Conclusion: The majority of Diploma III Nursing students demonstrate good practice of Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors. However, efforts are still needed to improve aspects such as regular health check-ups and physical activity. Furthermore, the length of study period has the potential to improve Clean and Healthy Living Behavior implementation, so a longer study period could provide a greater opportunity for optimal implementation.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that increases the risk of postoperative complications, including delayed wound healing, surgical site infection (SSI), wound dehiscence, and prolonged hospitalization. Hyperglycemia impairs leukocyte function, angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and tissue regeneration, thereby delaying the wound healing process. The high number of postoperative patients with comorbid Diabetes Mellitus at Meuraxa Regional General Hospital, Banda Aceh, highlights the importance of identifying factors associated with postoperative wound healing. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between blood glucose levels and postoperative wound healing among patients with comorbid Diabetes Mellitus. Methods: This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 60 postoperative patients with comorbid Diabetes Mellitus who were selected using an accidental sampling technique between 17 May and 15 June 2025. Blood glucose levels were measured using a calibrated glucometer, while wound healing was assessed using the Bates–Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) during a single postoperative wound evaluation. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, and the strength of the association was expressed as the Odds Ratio (OR) with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Results: A significant association was found between blood glucose levels and postoperative wound healing (p = 0.001). Patients with blood glucose levels ≥180 mg/dL were 28.75 times more likely to experience delayed wound healing than those with blood glucose levels of <180 mg/dL (OR = 28.75; 95% CI: 2.96–279.56), indicating that poor glycemic control is strongly associated with impaired postoperative wound healing. Conclusion: High blood glucose levels are significantly associated with delayed postoperative wound healing in patients with diabetes mellitus. Glycemic control through blood glucose monitoring, patient education, therapy adherence, and multidisciplinary collaboration need to be integrated into perioperative management to accelerate wound healing and reduce postoperative complications.
