Abstract

Depression has been recognized as a major public health issue that affects middle-aged people in developing countries. The research explored how diabetes mellitus and stroke history affected depressive symptoms in Indonesian among middle-aged adults. This is a cross-sectional study that used data from the IFLS-5, which included 7,503 participants. Weighted descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 17.72%, while 5.62% reported diabetes and 1.00% reported stroke. In adjusted analysis, diabetes only ((AOR = 0.77; 95% CI: 0.57–1.03; p= 0.082)), stroke only (AOR = 1.32; 95% CI: 0.70–2.52; p= 0.387), and combined diabetes and stroke (AOR = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.18–4.50; p= 0.912) were not significantly associated with depressive symptoms. Female (AOR = 1.20; 95% CI: 1.05–1.39; p= 0.009), unhealthy self-rated health (AOR= 2.48; 95% CI: 2.17–2.84; p= 0.001), and lack of community participation (AOR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.74–0.99; p= 0.043) were significant. However, BMI had lower odds of depressive symptoms. Marital status, education, residence, smoking status, and physical activity were not significantly associated with depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that psychosocial and perceptual factors play a more prominent role in midlife depressive symptoms than chronic disease status. Integrated public health strategies addressing self-perceived health, social engagement, and gender disparities are necessary.

Abstract

Falls represent a significant health issue among the elderly worldwide, particularly those residing in long-term care institutions. Although physical and environmental causes have been widely examined, there is limited research within Indonesian settings that investigates how psychological and sensory factors contribute to fall risk in institutionalized older adults. This study explores the association between psychological and sensory factors with the risk of falls among elderly individuals living in Indonesian care facilities. A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out involving 100 individuals aged 60 years and older in various long-term care homes across Indonesia. Data were obtained through structured interviews using standardized tools. Bivariate analyses were then analyzed using multivariable logistic regression to determine independent predictors. Out of all participants, 46% were found to have a heightened risk of falling. Multivariate analysis showed that higher levels of fear of falling (OR = 1.15; 95% CI: 1.04–1.28; p = 0.006), anxiety (OR = 2.97; p = 0.005), depression (OR = 2.85; p = 0.008), poor sleep quality (OR = 3.81; p = 0.001), visual problems (OR = 2.14; p = 0.038), hearing challenges (OR = 2.50; p = 0.022), and advancing age (OR = 1.04; p = 0.049) were all significantly linked to fall risk. This study highlights that psychological and sensory health significantly impact fall vulnerability among elderly residents in care institutions. Incorporating these often-overlooked dimensions into routine fall risk assessments may enhance preventative care approaches.

Abstract

The Triple Elimination Programme was first introduced in 2017 to standardise screening for pregnant women nationwide. Moving into 2025, however, coverage rates in several regions—including Bandung City—remain below national targets, pointing to an ongoing struggle with programme compliance. This study examined the association between knowledge, information sources, and family support with pregnant women’s compliance in the Triple Elimination programme. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 132 pregnant women attending health facilities in Arcamanik Sub-district, Bandung City. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected using structured questionnaire. Univariate analyses described the frequency and distribution of variables, whilst bivariate analyses using Chi-squared and Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio (95% CI) assessed associations between knowledge, information sources, and family support with the pregnant women’s compliance. The results showed that most respondents had high knowledge (66.7%), adequate access to information (71.2%), and positive family support (67.4%), while 56.1% were compliant with the programme. Knowledge (OR [95% CI] = 10.99 [4.59–26.32], p<0.01), information sources (5.97 [2.57–13.87], p<0.01), and family support (15.66 [6.10–40.18], p<0.01) were all significantly associated with compliance, with family support being the strongest determinant. These findings highlight the importance of involving families in health education to strengthen pregnant women’s participation and improve the success of the Triple Elimination Programme.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health concern, highlighting the importance of identifying modifiable risk factors that affect renal function. Nutritional status, commonly reflected by Body Mass Index (BMI), is one such factor, while serum urea serves as a key biomarker of kidney function. This study examined the relationship between BMI and serum urea levels among women of reproductive age in Waihaong Village. Using a cross-sectional analytical design, 75 participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data collection included informed consent, 10–12 hours fasting, BMI measurement, venous blood sampling, and serum urea analysis. Data were processed with SPSS using the Spearman correlation and multiple regression tests. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between BMI and serum urea levels (r = 0.259, p = 0.025). The median serum urea concentration was 18.3 mg/dL (range: 12.8–37.4 mg/dL), remaining within normal limits. The Kruskal–Wallis test showed no significant difference among BMI categories (χ² = 7.792, p = 0.100), although mean rank values indicated a trend of increasing urea with higher BMI. Multiple linear regression indicated that BMI significantly influenced serum urea (β = 1.045, p = 0.031) after adjusting for diet and physical activity, while other variables showed no significant associations (p > 0.05). The model’s stability was confirmed (VIF < 2). In conclusion, higher BMI is associated with increased serum urea levels, suggesting the need for routine BMI screening to help detect early kidney dysfunction in women of reproductive age.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is closely linked to unhealthy dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles. Despite the efforts of the Indonesian government to manage DM through its chronic disease management program, many patients continue to experience poor glycemic control. Families, particularly primary caregivers, play a critical role in supporting patients with DM. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between family members' knowledge and attitudes toward family health tasks and glycemic control (fasting blood glucose levels) in DM patients participating in the Chronic Disease Management Program (CDMP) at a public health center in Bandung, Indonesia. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted using a quantitative design. The study involved 65 family members who served as primary caregivers for DM patients, selected through a total sampling technique. Data were gathered using structured questionnaires to assess family members' knowledge and attitudes, along with clinical data on the patients' glycemic control. The relationship between variables was analyzed using the Spearman Rank Correlation test. The findings revealed no significant relationship between family members' knowledge and attitudes regarding caregiving tasks and the glycemic control of DM patients. Specifically, family knowledge and attitudes were not significantly associated with patients' glycemic control (p > 0.05). This study concluded that family members' knowledge and attitudes do not significantly influence glycemic control in patients with DM. These findings suggest that other factors may affect blood sugar levels, indicating the need for further research on family-based interventions and additional variables that could impact glycemic management.

Abstract

This article reports an analysis of the relationship between the level of cadre empowerment and pregnant women’s compliance with the implementation of the Birth Planning and Complication Prevention Program (P4K). The study employed a cross-sectional survey design conducted in Penfui Timur Village, Kupang Regency, involving 30 community health cadres. Cadre empowerment was assessed through dimensions of knowledge, skills, support, and participation, while pregnant women’s compliance served as the dependent variable. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression. The results showed a significant association between cadre empowerment and pregnant women’s compliance with P4K implementation (p = 0.012). Cadres with a high level of empowerment were more effective in assisting compliant pregnant women compared to those with lower levels of empowerment. Participation in P4K training also had a significant effect on improving pregnant women’s compliance (p = 0.021). These findings indicate that cadre empowerment and training are key factors in enhancing pregnant women’s compliance with the P4K program. Strengthening cadre capacity through continuous training and institutional support is therefore necessary to optimize program implementation at the community level.

Abstract

Climate change is increasingly amplifying global morbidity and mortality, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations and placing sustained pressure on health systems. Nurses, as the largest segment of the healthcare workforce, are strategically positioned to mitigate climate change-related health impacts; however, the scope and empirical basis of these roles remain insufficiently consolidated. This scoping review aimed to map and critically examine the multifaceted roles of nurses in addressing climate-related health consequences. A comprehensive search of SCOPUS, PubMed, ProQuest, and ScienceDirect identified 15 articles eligible for inclusion in this review. Four core nursing roles were identified: (1) integrating climate change into nursing curricula and community health education, (2) advancing research on planetary health, (3) influencing climate-related health policies, disaster preparedness, and resilience strategies, and (4) providing climate-responsive care to vulnerable populations. A key finding was the predominance of normative and conceptual literature, revealing a substantial gap between expected nursing roles and empirically supported practices, particularly in direct caregiving interventions.

Abstract

Anemia among adolescent girls remains a persistent public health problem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where increased nutritional requirements and menstrual blood loss elevate the risk of iron deficiency. Although iron supplementation is the primary preventive strategy, low adherence among adolescents necessitates complementary approaches. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of date fruit consumption on hemoglobin levels among anemic adolescent girls. A quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted in a school setting in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Hemoglobin screening was performed on 70 adolescent girls, and 10 anemic participants were selected using purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of consuming 100 g of date fruit (approximately 7–8 fruits) daily for seven consecutive days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention using a portable hemoglobin analyzer. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Mean hemoglobin levels increased significantly from 11.09 g/dL at baseline to 13.38 g/dL after the intervention, with an average increase of 2.29 g/dL (p = 0.005). These findings suggest that short-term date fruit consumption significantly improves hemoglobin levels among anemic adolescent girls. In conclusion, date fruit represents a feasible, culturally acceptable, food-based nutraceutical intervention that may complement existing anemia prevention programs. Further randomized controlled studies with larger samples and longer follow-up are recommended to confirm these findings and evaluate their long-term effectiveness.

Abstract

Suicide remains a major public health concern worldwide, and nurses play a critical role in managing patients following suicide attempts. Nurses’ readiness is essential to ensure patient safety and prevent recurrent suicidal behaviors. However, evidence suggests that preparedness among nurses varies widely. This systematic review aimed to identify, critically appraise, and synthesize available evidence regarding nurses’ readiness in hospital settings to manage patients following suicide attempts. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Electronic searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest databases for articles published between 2021 and 2025. Studies examining nurses’ readiness and related factors in hospital settings were included. Methodological quality was assessed using JBI critical appraisal tools. Data were synthesized narratively. A total of 103 records were identified, and nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies employed quantitative cross-sectional designs, while one study used a quasi-experimental approach. The findings indicated that nurses’ readiness varied considerably and was influenced by multiple factors. Higher readiness was associated with suicide prevention training, clinical experience, positive attitudes, and self-efficacy. Common barriers included high workload, lack of structured training programs, limited organizational support, and absence of clear clinical guidelines. However, the predominance of cross-sectional studies and heterogeneity of outcome measures limited quantitative comparison across studies. Nurses’ readiness to manage patients following suicide attempts remains inconsistent across hospital settings. These findings highlight the importance of implementing regular suicide prevention training programs, establishing clear clinical guidelines, and strengthening organizational support to improve nurses’ readiness in hospital settings and enhance patient safety.

Abstract

Occupational safety is a crucial aspect of loading and unloading activities at ports, which inherently carry high levels of risk. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between individual characteristics and safety climate with safety behavior among loading and unloading workers at Tenau Port, Kupang City. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among loading and unloading workers at Tenau Port. The study population consisted of all active workers registered in the TKBM Cooperative, and a sample of 73 respondents was selected using a random sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-Square and logistic regression tests. The results showed that most respondents had good individual characteristics (82.2%) and perceived a strong safety climate (74.0%). Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between individual characteristics and safety behavior (p = 0.029) as well as between safety climate and safety behavior (p = 0.008). Multivariate analysis showed that safety climate was the most dominant factor associated with safety behavior (p = 0.038; Exp(B) = 5.312; 95% CI = 1.101–25.634). Workers who perceived a stronger safety climate were more likely to demonstrate compliant safety behavior than those who perceived a weaker safety climate. In conclusion, individual characteristics and safety climate were significantly associated with safety behavior among loading and unloading workers at Tenau Port, Kupang City. Strengthening workplace safety culture and improving workers’ competencies are recommended to enhance safety compliance.
