Abstract

The triple burden of malnutrition (TBM), comprising undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies, remains a major nutritional challenge in Indonesia amid rapid economic growth and shifting dietary habits. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of TBM and its association with maternal dietary patterns using data from 1,005 mother–child pairs in the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. Complex sample logistic regression was applied to account for the multistage sampling design. The prevalence of TBM was 4.3%. In children, 16.6% were underweight, 21.3% stunted, and 21.7% anemic, while 51.4% of mothers were overweight or obese and 15.0% anemic. Maternal dietary patterns were significantly associated with TBM risk, whereby mothers who rarely or never consumed grilled or charred foods were more likely to belong to non-TBM families (AOR = 8.57; 95% CI: 1.43–51.29; p = 0.018), as were those with moderate consumption (AOR = 4.78; 95% CI: 1.09–20.98; p = 0.038). In contrast, rare consumption of meat, poultry, or fish products with preservatives (AOR = 0.13; 95% CI: 0.02–0.95; p = 0.043) and fruits or fruit-based products (AOR = 0.19; 95% CI: 0.06–0.61; p = 0.005) was associated with a higher likelihood of TBM. A non-linear association was observed for flavor enhancers, where moderate consumption was linked to lower odds of TBM (AOR = 0.33; 95% CI: 0.15–0.73; p = 0.006), whereas rare consumption increased the likelihood of belonging to non-TBM families (AOR = 2.79; 95% CI: 1.04–7.48; p = 0.041). Additionally, moderate consumption of fats and oils was positively associated with TBM risk (AOR = 2.94; 95% CI: 1.01–8.54; p = 0.047). In conclusion, maternal dietary patterns significantly influence TBM risk among Indonesian families.

Abstract

Emotional literacy is critical for children’s psychosocial well-being and particularly challenging among migrant children facing displacement and cultural stressors. This pre-experimental study evaluated the immediate changes of a play-based psychoeducation program on emotional literacy among 30 Indonesian migrant children aged 9–15 years in Malaysia. Using a one-group pretest–posttest design, participants completed the validated Emotional Literacy Questionnaire before and after intervention. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests showed a significant improvement in total emotional literacy scores from 11.53 ± 0.54 to 13.30 ± 0.49 (p = 0.009, r = 0.47). Children improved in recognizing emotions, applying emotional knowledge to case studies, and employing adaptive regulation strategies. The findings provide preliminary evidence suggesting that culturally congruent, play-based psychoeducation may support improvements in emotional competence among migrant children. Nursing professionals can incorporate such interventions to promote psychosocial adaptation in school and community settings.

Abstract

Anemia in breastfeeding mothers during the postpartum period can reduce breast milk production and affect its nutritional quality. An innovative food supplement in the form of moringa leaf biscuits combined with tuna fish oil offers a convenient option with strong macro- and micronutrient profiles that may improve hemoglobin levels and breast milk volume. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Moringa Leaf Biscuits and Tuna Fish Oil on hemoglobin levels and breast milk volume in postpartum women. Using a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest and control group, 50 respondents from four community health centers were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (30 respondents) or a control group (20 respondents). The biscuits were administered for 14 days, twice daily. The findings revealed a significant increase in hemoglobin levels in the intervention group after biscuit consumption, while the control group showed no meaningful change. The intervention group experienced an average increase of 14.03%, compared with only 1.21% in the control group. Breast milk volume measurements also demonstrated a significant improvement, with the intervention group showing an increase of 64.8% compared with the control group, whose increase averaged only 4.5%. These results indicate that moringa leaf biscuits combined with tuna fish oil effectively enhance hemoglobin levels and breast milk volume in postpartum mothers.

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading global health burden, affecting over a billion adults, yet fewer than a quarter achieve adequate control. In Indonesia, hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Patients often struggle with sustained self-care. This study explored self-care practices and barriers to hypertension management among patients, caregivers, and nurses in a primary healthcare in Bandung. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used. Twenty participants were purposively recruited, comprising seven patients, seven family members, and six nurses. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. Trustworthiness was ensured through credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability criteria. Two themes emerged. Self-care practices included medication adherence, dietary modification, physical activity, stress management, blood pressure monitoring, and smoking cessation, though these were inconsistent. Barriers included cultural dietary norms, misconceptions about medication, limited knowledge and motivation, financial constraints, and fear of complications. Hypertension self-care in Indonesia is shaped by complex cultural, social, and economic challenges. Culturally sensitive, family-centered, and nurse-led interventions are needed to strengthen self-care and improve outcomes.

Abstract

Psychological disorder in women is one of the most common health problems in women worldwide. When not addressed properly, anxiety can affect maternal and neonatal health. In the biopsychosocial model, mental health is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors, so a comprehensive approach to mental health services for women during pregnancy is needed. This study aims to analyze anxiety in pregnant women using the biopsychosocial model approach. This study used a mixed-methods research design using a qualitative cross-sectional approach using the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) instrument and a generic exploratory approach. In this qualitative research stage, in-depth interviews were conducted to explore biological, psychological, and social factors. The collected data was subjected to analysis using the Braun & Clarke approach. Responses were obtained from 385 pregnant women. 62.1% women had anxiety in pregnancy and reporting feeling anxiety caused by body changes, psychological changes and social adaptation during their pregnancy. In multivariate logistic regression, the incidence of anxiety during pregnancy was strongly associated with age (OR = 2.53; 95% CI = 1.57 – 4.09), parity (OR = 2.51; 95% CI = 1.61 – 3.92), and employment status (OR = 1.74; 95% CI = 1.09 – 2.77). The existence of physical, emotional, and social changes during pregnancy has an impact on the emergence of anxiety during pregnancy. The importance of support during pregnancy from health professionals, the environment and cross-sectoral collaboration is expected to reduce the incidence of anxiety during pregnancy.

Abstract

Adolescents are a group of people undergoing transitional growth, during which their nutritional needs increase significantly. Based on DQI-A, the diet quality of adolescents aged 13–15 years in Bogor is classified as poor, at only 32.2%. The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program aims to ensure that adolescents consistently consume a balanced diet at school. This study aims to analyze the differences in diet quality among junior high school adolescents who are recipients (88 students from SMP PGRI 6) and non-recipients (88 students from SMP PGRI 5) of the free nutritious meals program at school. A cross-sectional comparative design was used involving 176 students selected purposively. Data on individual and family characteristics were collected through structured questionnaires; dietary intake was assessed by two non-consecutive 24-hour recalls conducted by trained interviewers using food photographs and the DQI-A method to measure the quality of the subjects' diets, including dietary quality, dietary diversity, and dietary equilibrium. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test and the independent-sample t-test. Results showed no significant differences in individual and socioeconomic characteristics between groups (p>0.05). However, significant differences were found in all DQI-A components, including dietary quality, dietary diversity, and dietary equilibrium (p<0.001). The MBG group had a higher average total DQI-A score (49.81%) compared with the non-MBG group (39.15%). These results show that the MBG program helps teens eat better. Recommendations include strengthening the availability and variety of nutritious foods in school meal programs, enhancing nutrition education in schools, and encouraging collaboration among schools, parents, and policymakers. Future researchers are advised to examine the long-term effects of the MBG program on both nutritional status and academic performance.

Abstract

This mixed-methods study investigates the determinants of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) among elderly populations in coastal communities in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the role of community nurses in health promotion. Quantitative data were collected from 125 elderly respondents using structured questionnaires, while qualitative insights were gathered through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 17 informants, including elderly individuals, caregivers, and community nurses. The results indicate that education level, socioeconomic status, and access to health information are significant predictors of PHBS adherence among the elderly (p < 0.05). Barriers to PHBS implementation include limited mobility, financial constraints, and a preference for traditional or self-medication practices. Community nurses are found to play a crucial yet moderate role in promoting PHBS, with their effectiveness influenced by personal commitment, interpersonal skills, and the availability of health promotion resources. The study highlights the need for enhanced training and support for community nurses, as well as tailored health promotion strategies that address the unique challenges faced by the elderly in coastal areas. Strengthening community-based health interventions and improving access to health information are recommended to increase PHBS compliance and overall well-being among elderly populations in coastal communities.

Abstract

Maternal morbidity and mortality are largely driven by perinatal mental health conditions, especially anxiety and depression, particularly in low- and middle-income countries with limited access to care. This review aims to examine the roles of community nurses in implementing digital interventions to enhance perinatal mental health in low- and middle-income countries. Searches for publications between 2020 and 2025 were conducted in the Scopus, ScienceDirect, Dimensions, and ProQuest databases. A total of 21 studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the final synthesis. According to the findings, there are four primary types of digital therapies: telemedicine and remote counseling, digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychosocial interventions, mobile-based applications, and digital integration based on community health workers (CHW). It has been demonstrated that all of these strategies enhance screening, education, and psychosocial support for expectant and nursing mothers, and they are generally feasible and well-received in several LMIC contexts. Early detection, digital counseling, monitoring, and enabling technology-based services are all areas in which community nurses play a crucial role. Digital interventions decrease gaps in mental health care, improve service continuity, and empower moms and healthcare professionals. To ensure the sustainability and equitable provision of maternal mental health services, primary care systems must integrate policies, enhance digital literacy, and maintain ongoing oversight and monitoring to ensure effective service delivery.
