Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is essential for optimal infant growth, development, and immune protection. Despite various efforts, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia remains suboptimal, often influenced by challenges related to maternal confidence, infant latch, and effective breastfeeding techniques. This exploratory case series aimed to describe short-term changes in breastfeeding outcomes following combined interventions of education, breast care, and oxytocin massage among postpartum mothers. Using a descriptive observational case series design, four postpartum mothers experiencing early breastfeeding difficulties received structured education, breast care, and oxytocin massage interventions, administered according to standardized clinical procedures. Breastfeeding outcomes, including infant latch quality, maternal positioning skills, signs of milk ejection, and maternal confidence, were assessed before and after the interventions. Preliminary observations indicated improvements across several of these parameters. However, the study’s findings are limited by its small sample size and reliance on subjective observations. As an exploratory study, these results offer initial insights but should be interpreted with caution. Further research with larger samples, control groups, and objective evaluation tools is needed to determine the efficacy and generalizability of these interventions.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and fluid overload in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The study included 96 adult patients receiving regular hemodialysis at a private hospital in Bandung, Indonesia. Self-efficacy in fluid restriction was assessed using a validated 20-item questionnaire based on Bandura’s model. Overhydration was measured using the Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG) index. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed, including Kendall’s Tau-b correlation test. The study revealed that 60.4% of participants had low self-efficacy, while 66.7% were classified as overhydrated. A statistically significant inverse relationship was found between self-efficacy and fluid overload (p = 0.002), suggesting that patients with lower self-efficacy were more likely to experience overhydration. Self-efficacy plays a critical role in fluid management among patients receiving hemodialysis. Strengthening self-efficacy through nurse-led behavioral interventions, standardized patient education, and digital health monitoring may enhance fluid adherence.

Abstract

Generation Z faces significant mental health challenges, including low self-esteem. In Indonesia, over 30% of individuals experiencing low self-esteem do not receive adequate treatment. Among the approximately 2.5 million people with mental illnesses, around 40% report low self-esteem. This study aimed to identify factors associated with self-esteem levels among students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta in 2024. An analytical cross-sectional research design was employed, with probability sampling used to select 103 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results indicated that the majority of Generation Z students with low self-esteem reported insufficient family support (67 students, 65.0%), limited peer support (69 students, 67.0%), and were predominantly female (67 students, 67.0%). Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between family support and self-esteem level (P = 0.001), peer support and self-esteem level (P = 0.030), and gender and self-esteem level (P = 0.005).

Abstract

Medical records are vital for informed diagnosis and patient care. Therefore, optimizing the performance of medical data recorders is essential. Performance can be assessed based on several factors, including ability, attitude, appearance, leadership support, initiative, and responsibility. Intelligence, encompassing intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, represents an important aspect of ability. This study examines the relationship between work performance and intelligence dimensions among medical data recorders. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Health Center of East Surabaya with 35 participants. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Most participants were aged 30–40 years, predominantly female, held a diploma, and had over five years of work experience. The highest mean intelligence score was observed for spiritual intelligence (mean = 4.37), specifically in flexibility and the principle of truth. The highest mean performance score was observed for concentration (mean = 4.54). Linear regression analysis indicated that gender and intelligence dimensions significantly influenced performance, with a strong correlation (R = 0.767). These findings highlight the importance of structured leadership coaching, memory enhancement modules, and emotional resilience training for health workers to improve performance.

Abstract

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is associated with mood instability in adolescents, affecting emotional well-being and daily functioning. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as autogenic relaxation, may help manage these fluctuations. This study examined the effect of autogenic relaxation therapy on mood changes in 88 female adolescents at SMP Negeri 1 Pare, Kediri Regency, using a one-group pretest–posttest pre-experimental design. Mood was assessed with the Four Dimensions Mood Scale (FDMS) and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Before the intervention, most participants (61.4%) reported negative mood. After autogenic relaxation, the majority (52.3%) shifted to the positive mood category, with statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001). These results suggest that autogenic relaxation promotes emotional regulation through focused attention and controlled breathing, supporting a physiological relaxation response. Autogenic relaxation appears to be a simple, accessible, and cost-effective method for managing PMS-related mood disturbances in adolescents. However, the absence of a control group and limited demographic scope warrant caution. Future studies with controlled designs and diverse populations are recommended.

Abstract

Earthquakes can significantly affect children's development both physically and psychologically. School experience in disaster management becomes one of the foundations for formulating needs and policies in earthquakes disaster mitigation within the school environment. This study aimed to capture the experience of schools in Bantul, Yogyakarta, in dealing with earthquakes events. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically to identify codes and themes emerging from the data, related to school-based disaster management. Analysis yielded nine major categories describing how schools prepare for, respond to, and recover from earthquakes. The findings highlight the critical role of disaster education and preparedness within school settings and reveal the need for clear procedures supporting children’s physical and psychological recovery after an earthquake. These insights underscore the importance of cross-sector collaboration and policy development to strengthen school-based disaster mitigation and post-earthquake recovery programs.

Abstract

In Indonesia, there is currently no standardized tool to evaluate patient safety competence among nursing students. This study aimed to culturally adapt and test the H-PEPSS for use with Indonesian nursing students. The participants were final-year diploma nursing students from Jakarta and West Java. The process included translation, expert validation, pilot testing, and cultural adaptation using cognitive interviews and student feedback. Items were developed through domain analysis and reviewed by experts to ensure relevance and clarity. The validity of the measurement model was examined using RMSEA, SRMR, and CFI indices, while internal consistency was tested to assess reliability. A total of 344 students from eight institutions in Jakarta and Bandung took part in the psychometric testing. The Content Validity Index (CVI) ranged from 0.73 to 1.00 across items. Pearson correlation coefficients varied by domain. The three-factor structure showed a good model fit, with standardized factor loadings above 0.4. All indicator variables exceeded the 0.30 significance threshold. The Indonesian version of H-PEPSS demonstrated a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.795, indicating acceptable reliability. The results suggest that H-PEPSS is a suitable instrument for assessing patient safety competencies among Indonesian nursing students and can be successfully adapted for use in different cultural settings.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant chronic nutritional problem in Indonesia and the world, caused by long-term malnutrition, especially in the first 1000 days of life. Community-based interventions effectively reduce stunting rates by involving the community in health promotion, providing nutritious food, environmental sanitation, and education for pregnant and lactating mothers. This narrative literature review aims to assess the effectiveness of community-based interventions in reducing stunting among children under five years old. A structured literature search was conducted using three electronic databases: PubMed, ProQuest, and Emerald Insight. The search strategy applied Boolean operators and was framed as follows: community-based intervention AND stunted. Filters included publication years 2020–2025, articles available in full text, written in English or Indonesian, and focused on children under five. The initial search yielded 628 articles. After removing 15 duplicates and excluding irrelevant studies based on population, topic, or article type, 12 articles were selected for final analysis. The results show from 12 articles, there are six articles discussed about nutrition education, three articles about supplementary food and three articles about water and sanitation hygiene. The findings show that community-based interventions, led to stunting reduction rates ranging from 15% to 25% in developing countries. This research can serve as a reference for stunting intervention policies through nutrition education, WASH (water sanitation and hygiene), and supplementary food.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the barriers faced by elderly populations in Indonesia in accessing reproductive health services, focusing on cervical and prostate cancer screening, sexuality counseling, and menopause/andropause management. Despite the increasing number of older adults, reproductive health services remain predominantly oriented toward younger groups, leaving elderly needs under-addressed. Using semi-structured interviews with 35 elderly individuals, 15 healthcare providers, and 10 policymakers across urban and rural settings, the study identifies significant structural and cultural challenges. Key findings reveal pervasive social stigma surrounding elderly sexuality, inadequate healthcare provider training, and fragmented policy frameworks that fail to explicitly include geriatric reproductive health. Rural participants reported limited availability of essential screenings and counseling services, while many providers perceived elderly reproductive health concerns as low priority. Policy analysis highlights the absence of comprehensive guidelines and inconsistent implementation across regions. These barriers contribute to disparities in service utilization and negatively impact elderly health outcomes. The study recommends evidence-based strategies including stigma reduction initiatives, integration of reproductive health services into primary care for the elderly, enhanced provider education, and the development of targeted policies with dedicated funding. Addressing these challenges is critical to promoting equitable access to reproductive healthcare for Indonesia’s aging population, supporting their right to health and well-being. This research contributes to filling the gap in geriatric reproductive health literature and offers practical policy recommendations to improve service delivery in Indonesia.

Abstract

Despite the World Health Organization's continued advocacy for the adoption of Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) as a systematic approach to uncovering and addressing the root causes of maternal and perinatal mortality, death rates within these populations remain alarmingly high in many regions. The effectiveness of MPDSR varies widely across settings, often limited by weak health information systems, reporting delays, blame-oriented cultures, and poor follow-up of audit recommendations. This scoping review aims to examine the practical application of MPDSR across various real-world contexts, with a particular emphasis on the mechanisms for identifying, reporting, evaluating, and responding to maternal and perinatal deaths, as well as the factors that enable or hinder these processes. Peer-reviewed publications from the past decade were systematically retrieved from major databases, including PubMed, Wiley, and ScienceDirect. The review identified key barriers such as shortages of skilled personnel, incomplete documentation, and limited financial and monitoring resources, while effective MPDSR was facilitated by community engagement, clear reporting systems, and supportive policies. These findings highlight the need to strengthen workforce capacity, data systems, and governance to reduce preventable maternal and neonatal deaths.
