Abstract

Hypertension during pregnancy, particularly preeclampsia and eclampsia, is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Timely and appropriate management is crucial in preventing serious complications, including maternal death. This study aimed to describe the initial management of severe preeclampsia and eclampsia at RS PKU Muhammadiyah Palembang, Indonesia, during the period 2018–2021. This descriptive study employed a cross-sectional design. A total of 110 cases were randomly selected from medical records of patients diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia. Data were analyzed based on the POGI 2016 guidelines. Among the 110 cases, 108 (98%) were diagnosed with severe preeclampsia, while 2 (2%) were cases of eclampsia. Of these, 65 patients (60.2%) received management that adhered to the POGI guidelines, whereas 43 patients (39.8%) did not. Both cases of eclampsia were managed in full compliance with the guidelines (100%). This study highlights that while the initial management of severe preeclampsia and eclampsia generally aligns with established standards, there remains room for improvement in procedural adherence. To further reduce maternal morbidity and mortality associated with these conditions, it is recommended that the hospital strengthen efforts to ensure full compliance with clinical guidelines.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant concern among the Indonesian population, and numerous studies have been conducted to decrease its prevalence. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for stunting in children aged 12 to 59 months. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research was conducted in the Sutojayan Health Center Work Area in Blitar. The research population consisted of 396 children aged 12 to 59 months, with a sample size of 60 children. The results indicated that maternal education (P-value = 0.010; OR = 4.4), maternal employment (P-value = 0.025; OR = 5.4), exclusive breastfeeding (P-value = 0.016; OR = 5.8), and environmental sanitation conditions (P-value = 0.027; OR = 3.6) are significantly related to the incidence of stunting. In contrast, children's immunization status did not show a significant relationship (P-value > 0.05). Stunting is influenced by various factors from pregnancy through preschool years, so prevention efforts must begin as early as possible. This includes improving maternal health, promoting breastfeeding, providing nutritious food, preventing infectious diseases, and ensuring a clean environment. The findings of this study encourage healthcare professionals to develop innovative strategies aimed at reducing stunting, particularly in Indonesia.

Abstract

A program named ‘Walking Our Way to Wellness’ was a healthy aging intervention developed and implemented in a rural Indigenous community. Focusing on interventions are valued and connected through both cultural and community models. This project emphasized the intergenerational aspects of health interventions. The research aimed to explore healthy aging practices, prevalent health conditions, health needs, and the impacts of a community partnership model involving a local post-secondary institution in Nova Scotia. This qualitative study included 17 participants who completed semi-structured interviews about their health and well-being. The mean age of the sample was 67 years, with 11 participants residing within the Indigenous community. A series of health interventions were developed based on participants' needs and interests through a community partnership involving a local Indigenous community, Cape Breton University Education Department, and the School of Nursing. These interventions included nutrition education, diabetes education, a walking program, and functional fitness programming. The results revealed that arthritis and diabetes were the most commonly reported health conditions among participants. Participants also noted their engagement in new functional fitness exercises and expressed that social interactions and scheduled classes were beneficial for their overall well-being. Suggestions for future research are also provided, which aim to build on the successes of this intervention and further explore the benefits of culturally grounded, community-driven health initiatives. Keywords: Aging, health condition, innovation in community health, nursing, partnership

Abstract

Walker and Avant have been pivotal in guiding researchers toward publishing concept analysis articles. However, limited studies have explored the trends of concept analysis within the nursing context. This topic is particularly relevant today as it can inspire and inform future concept analysis publications. This study utilized a literature review design to examine the evolution of concept analysis in nursing. A total of 54 articles were identified through a systematic search across six databases. These articles were categorized into four key themes: psychological responses, healthcare system improvement, behavior, and patient-focused concepts. A comprehensive table was developed to summarize how each concept was defined by scholars, and trends over a five-year period were analyzed. The findings revealed that psychological responses were the most frequently studied theme and vice versa, research focusing on behavior showed a decline over time. Despite this trend, patient-centered concepts demonstrated consistent attention throughout the period. The study also highlighted a consistent emphasis on understanding psychological impacts and promoting patient involvement in decision-making processes. Based on these findings, future research should focus on developing caring interventions that address patients' psychological needs. Such research will further strengthen the role of nursing in fostering holistic innovation care.

Abstract

Emerging evidence suggests that Mozart music can positively impact neurodevelopment, but whether the timing of exposure during light or dark periods affects its efficacy remains unexplored. This experimental study aimed to identify the optimal timing for Mozart music exposure—either 1 hour during the dark or 1 hour during the light period—starting from the 10th day of gestation in Rattus norvegicus, and its effect on neuronal apoptosis in newborn brain cells. Using a randomized post-test only control group design, Rattus norvegicus was employed as the model for Mozart music stimulation. A total of 24 pregnant rats were randomly divided into three groups: a control group (no music exposure), treatment group 1 (1 hour of Mozart music during the dark period), and treatment group 2 (1 hour of Mozart music during the light period), with 8 mother rats per group. After birth, the two heaviest female pups from each litter were selected, resulting in 15 pups per group. These pups were sacrificed, and their brain tissues were analyzed using the TUNEL assay under 1000x magnification to determine the neuronal apoptosis index. The study reported no miscarriages or maternal deaths across all groups. The mean apoptosis index was significantly lower in treatment group 1 (24.87 ± 3.45) and treatment group 2 (23.82 ± 3.89) compared to the control group (55.98 ± 4.12) (p = 0.002 and p = 0.009, respectively). However, no significant difference was observed between treatment group 1 and treatment group 2 (p = 0.836). The findings suggest that exposure to Mozart music significantly reduces neuronal apoptosis in the brains of newborn Rattus norvegicus, regardless of whether it is played during light or dark periods. This indicates that Mozart music can be utilized flexibly, offering potential implications for neurodevelopmental interventions.

Abstract

Diabetic neuropathy is a serious and common complication for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). However, there's a scarcity of studies investigating how the duration of diabetes and glycemic control impact the development of neuropathy. This study aimed to examine the effect of diabetes duration and blood glucose levels on the risk of neuropathy in patients with T2D in Surabaya. This was an observational study utilizing a cross-sectional data collection method. Data were gathered from 150 patients between May and July 2023. Patients were categorized based on their diabetes duration (less than 5 years, 5–10 years, and greater than 10 years) and their blood glucose levels (HbA1c less than 7%, 7–10%, and greater than 10%). Neuropathy was assessed using the 10g monofilament test and the Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS). Statistical analysis involved descriptive statistics and logistic regression, with a significance level set at 0.05 for hypothesis testing. The results revealed a significantly higher risk of neuropathy in patients with T2D for more than 10 years (90%) compared to those with T2D for less than 5 years (40%). Similarly, patients with poor blood glucose control (HbA1c greater than 10%) had an 85% chance of developing neuropathy. Whereas only 30% of those with well-controlled blood glucose (HbA1c less than 7%) developed the condition. Logistic regression analysis further confirmed that both a longer diabetes duration and elevated blood glucose levels significantly increase the risk of neuropathy (p<0.05). These findings underscore the critical importance of effective blood glucose management and early neuropathy detection to prevent severe diabetic complications. Furthermore, this study highlights the urgent need for enhanced diabetes education, early screening programs, and improved healthcare strategies across Indonesia to mitigate the burden of diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract

The rise of digital media has transformed how Generation Z (Gen Z) interacts, communicates, and accesses information. Though digital platforms offer benefits such as connectivity, education, and entertainment, their impact on mental health has raised concerns. Research reveals a complex relationship between digital media use and Gen Z’s mental well-being. Social media such as Facebook can provide opportunities for social support and self-expression but is also linked to anxiety, depression, cyberbullying, and self-image disorders. However, limited review study evaluates the impact of Facebook on mental health status of Gen Z population. This study evaluates the influence of Facebook on Gen Z’s mental health. A literature review was conducted using databases include Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus, focusing on articles published between 2020 and 2024 in English and Indonesian. Findings suggest that adolescents' use of Facebook promote self-expression and social support, but it can also trigger mental health problems. Problematic internet use is also associated with loneliness and maladaptive coping styles. Although some psychoeducation-based interventions have been conducted, there is a need for further studies to develop more specific approaches to prevent the psychological distress among Gen Z. Keywords: Community nurses, Facebook, Generation Z, innovation strategies, mental health issues
