Abstract

Choking represents a life-threatening emergency that necessitates immediate intervention, making bystanders' knowledge and skills essential for practical first aid. Traditional training methods, such as PowerPoint presentations and printed materials, are widely employed; however, technological advancements have prompted the exploration of self-directed learning through video (SDL-V) as a potentially more effective approach. This study aims to evaluate the impact of SDL-V-based choking first aid training on mothers' knowledge and skills concerning toddler choking in Kalisongo village. Employing a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group, 30 participants from the intervention and control groups were selected through simple random sampling. Knowledge and skills were assessed before and after training, and differences were analyzed using independent and paired sample T-tests. The N-Gain Score test was employed to determine the effect size. The results revealed no significant differences in knowledge and skills between the groups before training (P > 0.05). Nonetheless, significant improvements were noted within each group following the training (P < 0.05). The intervention group exhibited significantly higher levels of knowledge and skills compared to the control group after training (P < 0.05), demonstrating a high N-Gain Score (>0.70). In conclusion, SDL-V-based choking first aid training significantly enhances mothers' knowledge and skills in Kalisongo village. Healthcare professionals should consider the integration of SDL-V into public education and training programs.

Abstract

Spinal disorders have been observed to increase during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prevalence of prolonged sitting habits during this period has significantly contributed to the rise in spinal disorders. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), between 250,000 and 500,000 individuals worldwide experience spinal disorders annually. Kyphosis, specifically, is frequently identified in children aged 7 to 11 years. In adolescents, kyphosis may be effectively managed through brace therapy. Although various braces are available in the market, they do possess certain limitations. To address such limitations, a technology named PostureCare has been developed to monitor spinal alignment during brace therapy. This technology enables the plotting of graphs enhanced by Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity within an application, thereby facilitating easier data monitoring for users and caregivers. The objective of this research is to design, test, and further develop the PostureCare application. The methodologies employed in this study encompass a literature review, the design and creation of tools and applications, followed by rigorous testing and evaluation. Testing of PostureCare was conducted on two children, during which gyroscopic sensor data were compared to readings from an inclinometer. The results indicated a cervical sensor deviation of 0.85° and a lumbar sensor deviation of 0.791°. The temperature assessment of the heating element revealed a range between 36°C and 40°C. Additionally, the vibration module was activated when the cervical sensor detected a tilt exceeding 25 degrees. Testing results from both children over a seven-day period demonstrated that the cervical sensor recorded an angle of less than 16°, with no signs indicating the presence of kyphosis. It can be concluded that PostureCare has been validated as a tool for detecting spinal ergonomics that may contribute to the development of kyphosis.

Abstract

Shortness of breath, known as dyspnea, is a symptom that affects 40 to 70% of patients with HIV/AIDS during their hospital stays. Nonetheless, the prevalence and severity of dyspnea among individuals attending outpatient clinics remain inadequately understood. Evaluating dyspnea in the outpatient care setting is essential for preventing further complications and enhancing the quality of life for these patients. This study aims to assess the factors associated with the incidence and severity of dyspnea in individuals diagnosed with HIV in an outpatient context. Additionally, it examines the demographic characteristics of the study population. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted across 68 HIV outpatients. The incidence and severity of dyspnea were evaluated utilizing the Modified Borg Scale (MBS), and bivariate analyses were conducted. The results showed that among 64 individuals (94.1%), 64 exhibited dyspnea. The severity of dyspnea was categorized as follows: no breathlessness (4; 5.9%), very slight (8; 11.8%), very mild (15; 22.1%), mild (10; 14.7%), moderate (11; 16.2%), somewhat severe (7; 10.3%), severe (11; 16.2%), and very severe (2; 2.9%). Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between demographic factors and the incidence of dyspnea (p > 0.05), nor was there a correlation between demographic characteristics and the severity of dyspnea (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the Modified Borg Scale, which incorporates the 6-minute walking test as an assessment tool, can objectively identify and monitor the risk for more severe respiratory complications, even among patients without a prior diagnosis of pulmonary comorbidities.

Abstract

Individuals living with HIV/AIDS encounter a range of psychosocial issues that significantly impact their quality of life. Among these issues, stigma and mental health are critical components in understanding the overall well-being and treatment adherence of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The integration of mental health support into HIV care is emphasized as a vital strategy for enhancing the quality of life for this population. The study aims to explore the psychosocial challenges faced by PLWHA in Indonesia and underscores the imperative of incorporating mental health assistance into HIV care frameworks. A literature review was conducted, examining studies published between 2020 and 2024. Relevant articles were sourced from databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed, utilizing keywords including "psychosocial impact on HIV," "HIV," and "mental health." The findings indicate a significant correlation between stigma and the mental health status of PLWHA. Many individuals experience heightened levels of anxiety, depression, and social isolation, all of which impede their treatment adherence and adversely affect their overall well-being.  The review advocates for the establishment of comprehensive support systems that address both the physical and mental health needs of this demographic. In conclusion, the psychosocial challenges experienced by PLWHA are critical determinants of their health outcomes. Therefore, enhancing mental health services and mitigating stigma are essential for improving the quality of life for PLWHA. Future interventions should focus on creating supportive environments that promote resilience and overall well-being among this vulnerable population.

Abstract

Older adults undergo various physical changes that necessitate consistent efforts to sustain their health, which includes engaging in regular physical activity. Participation in these activities is influenced by multiple factors, one of which is self-regulation. This study aims to investigate the relationship between self-regulation and physical activity among older adults at the Ciptomulyo Health Center. The research employs an analytical method utilizing a cross-sectional design. A total of 374 respondents who met the study's selection criteria were recruited. The Physical Activity Self-Regulation Scale (PASR) and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) were utilized to evaluate the levels of self-regulation and physical activity, respectively. The collected data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The majority of respondents were female (58.6%), with a significant proportion demonstrating high levels of self-regulation (74.6%) and satisfactory physical activity levels (61.5%). The results established a substantial correlation between self-regulation and physical activity (p = 0.000), suggesting that enhanced self-regulation is associated with increased physical activity. These findings underscore the importance of interventions designed to enhance self-regulation among older adults. By strengthening self-regulation, it is possible to mitigate inactivity and promote a healthier lifestyle. This insight provides a foundational basis for developing strategies that support older adults in maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle by enhancing their self-management skills.
