Abstract

Preeclampsia remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide and is closely associated with several risk factors, particularly obesity. According to the World Health Organization, preeclampsia affects approximately 2–8% of pregnancies globally and contributes substantially to maternal deaths. In Indonesia, preeclampsia accounts for around 25% of maternal mortality cases. In Bantul Regency, the number of preeclampsia cases increased significantly from 161 cases in 2023 to 320 cases in 2024. Obesity is recognized as an important risk factor that can increase the likelihood of preeclampsia, while Body Mass Index (BMI) is widely used to assess maternal nutritional status. However, evidence regarding the relationship between BMI and preeclampsia at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital is still limited. This study aimed to determine the association between BMI and the incidence of preeclampsia among mothers giving birth at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital during 2024–2025. This study employed an observational analytical design with a case-control approach. A total of 322 respondents were selected through purposive sampling using complete medical record data. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test and Odds Ratio (OR). The results showed a significant relationship between BMI and preeclampsia incidence (p = 0.001). Obese mothers were found to have a substantially higher risk of developing preeclampsia compared with non-obese mothers (OR = 48.450; 95% CI: 22.578–103.967). These findings emphasize the importance of routine BMI screening during antenatal care for early detection and prevention of preeclampsia.

Abstract

Sports injuries, particularly musculoskeletal injuries, are common among athletes and affect more than 40% of active individuals annually. University athletes are especially vulnerable during training and competition, particularly in contact sports such as football. Although evidence-based prevention strategies, including neuromuscular training and appropriate warm-up and cool-down routines, can significantly reduce injury risk, their implementation remains inconsistent in many university settings. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and adoption of injury prevention strategies among student-athletes at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) and identify barriers affecting their implementation. A descriptive study design was employed involving 101 student-athletes selected through purposeful and convenience sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires addressing sociodemographic characteristics and preventive practices. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 24. The findings revealed that most participants were aged 20–24 years and had 1–2 years of sporting experience. Football was identified as the most common sport among respondents. Doctors, physiotherapists, and coaches were recognized as the primary sources of injury prevention knowledge. However, the practical application of preventive measures was limited by structural and academic barriers. Many athletes reported skipping warm-up activities due to a lack of time and neglecting cool-down exercises because of exhaustion. The study concludes that despite adequate theoretical knowledge, injury prevention practices among student-athletes remain insufficient. Universities should implement mandatory and integrated safety protocols within training schedules to improve athlete safety and long-term performance.

Abstract

Perinatal anxiety among primigravida women is a significant yet frequently overlooked maternal mental health concern. This study analyzed the biopsychosocial dimensions of perinatal anxiety among primigravida women in primary health care settings using a sequential explanatory mixed methods design. The quantitative phase involved 171 primigravida women recruited through stratified proportional random sampling from two primary health care centers, who completed the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS). The qualitative phase included 15 informants with anxiety scores above 21 who participated in in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Chi-Square tests, while qualitative data were processed through NVivo 12 Plus following the Miles and Huberman framework. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee of Universitas 'Aisyiyah Yogyakarta (No. 1453/KEP-UNISA/IV/2022). The results showed that 39.2% of respondents experienced anxiety (17.5% mild, 18.7% moderate, and 2.9% severe), with a significant association between gestational trimester and anxiety level (p = 0.041). The second trimester exhibited the highest proportion of anxiety at 56.0%. Qualitative analysis revealed three themes: forms of maternal discomfort, antenatal care access experiences, and biopsychosocial dimensions of anxiety encompassing biological, psychological, socioeconomic, environmental, and social support factors. Pearson correlation identified psychological factors (r = 0.95) and social support (r = 0.85) as dominant determinants. The biopsychosocial model proved effective as a comprehensive framework for understanding perinatal anxiety in primary care. These findings provide an evidence-based foundation for holistic maternal mental health interventions and underscore the necessity of routine anxiety screening, strengthened counseling services, and structured social support programs within antenatal care.

Abstract

The rapid integration of digital technologies in higher education has transformed the teaching and learning process, particularly in nursing education where flexibility and accessibility are essential. This study examined the challenges of online learning and their repercussions on the academic performance and student engagement of BSN 1J students enrolled in NCM 103 (Foundations of Nursing Practice) at the University of Saint Anthony during the Second Semester of School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, the study investigated students’ demographic profile, challenges encountered in online learning, the relationship between demographic characteristics and online learning challenges, and the effects of these challenges on academic performance and engagement. A descriptive-correlational research design with an evaluative approach was employed. The respondents consisted of forty (40) nursing students selected through total enumeration sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire administered through Google Forms. Frequency counts, percentages, weighted means, and the Chi-Square Test of Independence were utilized to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the respondents generally experienced challenges related to technical adaptability, internet access and equipment, physical health barriers, academic engagement, and attitudes toward online learning. Internet connectivity and access to learning devices emerged as the most significant challenges, while headaches, eye strain, and back fatigue were commonly reported physical health concerns. Students also experienced difficulties in time management, maintaining motivation, and sustaining active participation in online classes. These challenges negatively affected students’ concentration, learning efficiency, academic performance, and engagement. The study concludes that online learning presents multidimensional challenges that require comprehensive institutional support. Strengthening technological infrastructure, improving access to learning resources, providing technical assistance, and implementing student-centered support programs are recommended to enhance academic success and engagement among nursing students in online learning environments.

Abstract

HIV/AIDS remains a significant global and national public health problem every year. Adolescents are a group highly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS transmission because of the transitional phase marked by high curiosity, which leads them to seek information from various sources that are not necessarily accurate. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using video media about HIV/AIDS on adolescent knowledge at SMP Negeri 1 Godean. This study was a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 128 respondents selected using a total sampling technique. The data collection instrument used was a questionnaire. The data collection tool used was a questionnaire. Following the health education session using video media, respondents' knowledge levels showed a marked increase, with 127 respondents (99.22%) in the good category and 1 respondent (0.78%) in the fair category. The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test showed a p-value of 0.00, Z = -9.822 for knowledge. A statistically significant increase in adolescent knowledge was found following health education using video media on HIV/AIDS at SMP Negeri 1 Godean, Yogyakarta. Respondents are expected to maintain this knowledge to avoid deviant behavior and increase concern for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).
