Abstract

Introduction: Lactation management includes education, problem-solving, and support to ensure successful breastfeeding. A key factor influencing this success is maternal self-efficacy, or a mother’s confidence in her ability to breastfeed. Higher self-efficacy helps mothers overcome breastfeeding challenges and maintain breastfeeding longer. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of lactation management on breastfeeding self-efficacy among breastfeeding mothers. Method: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was used with 30 breastfeeding mothers of infants aged 0–6 months selected through purposive sampling. The intervention group received lactation management education delivered in three structured sessions, while the control group received no intervention. Breastfeeding self-efficacy was assessed using the BSES-SF before and after the intervention. Result: The intervention group showed a significant increase in self-efficacy scores (p < 0.001), whereas the control group showed no significant change (p > 0.05). There was also a significant difference in posttest scores between the two groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Education and practice based lactation management proved effective in strengthening mothers’ confidence in breastfeeding. Integrating this intervention into primary health services is recommended to support the success of exclusive breastfeeding and to aid in stunting prevention.

Abstract

Introduction: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) due to Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) often causes cardiac dysfunction after mitral valve replacement (MVR) and tricuspid valve repair (TVR) surgery. Phase II cardiac rehabilitation is important to improve aerobic capacity, cardiorespiratory function, and quality of life in postoperative patients. Objective: To examine the effects of a phase II physical therapy rehabilitation program on improving aerobic capacity in Class II CHF patients with RHD after MVR and TVR. Method: A single case study of a 43-year-old woman with postoperative CHF FC II, who underwent 13 aerobic exercise sessions consisting of walking on a track, treadmill, and stationary bicycle based on the FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) principle. Parameters evaluated included blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, Borg scale, and distance covered in the Six Minute Walking Test (6MWT). Results: Showed an increase in 6MWT distance from 355 meters to 446 meters, METs from 4.18 to 4.9, and Borg score from 6 to 7 with stable vital signs. Conclusion: Gradual aerobic exercise in phase II rehabilitation is safe and effective in improving aerobic capacity, hemodynamic response, and activity tolerance in patients, while preventing deterioration of condition and readmission.

Abstract

Background: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals remain a key population with high vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Although antiretroviral therapy has significantly reduced morbidity and mortality, LGBT people living with HIV/AIDS continue to face layered stigma stemming from both HIV status and sexual or gender identity. However, in-depth understanding of the lived experiences of this population, particularly within Indonesia's sociocultural context, remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to explore and understand the lived experiences of LGBT individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Lampung Province through a phenomenological approach. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted with 15 LGBT participants living with HIV/AIDS. Data collection was performed through in-depth interviews during September–October 2025 in Lampung Province. Data analysis employed in vivo coding to preserve the original meaning of participants' expressions. Research reporting followed the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) guidelines. Results: Analysis yielded three major themes: (1) living in the shadow of layered stigma, (2) negotiating identity and self-acceptance following HIV diagnosis, and (3) building meaning in life and resilience. These themes emerged from interrelated subthemes and categories, all grounded in participants' narratives. Conclusion: The lived experience of LGBT individuals with HIV/AIDS constitutes a complex and multidimensional phenomenon encompassing social, psychological, and existential dimensions. These findings underscore the critical importance of inclusive HIV services that are sensitive to stigma and oriented toward psychosocial needs.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly among school-age children, reflecting persistent gaps in nutrition knowledge and health-related behaviors. Conventional health education approaches often show limited effectiveness in engaging children, highlighting the need for more interactive and context-appropriate strategies. Gamification has emerged as a promising approach to enhance learning engagement, yet evidence on its application in nutrition education within local settings remains limited. Objective: To examine the effectiveness of a game-based health education intervention in improving nutrition knowledge and attitudes related to stunting prevention among elementary school students. Method: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest approach was conducted among elementary school students selected using purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of nutrition education delivered through a modified snakes and ladders game. Data on students’ knowledge and attitudes were collected using structured questionnaires before and after the intervention. Statistical analyses were performed to assess changes in outcomes following the intervention. Result: The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in both nutrition knowledge and attitudes after the implementation of the game-based education intervention. Students showed higher engagement during learning sessions, indicating that interactive media facilitated better understanding of balanced nutrition and stunting prevention concepts. Conclusion: Game-based nutrition education is an effective and feasible strategy to enhance students’ knowledge and attitudes related to stunting prevention. Despite limitations related to study design and sample size, these findings support the integration of gamified learning approaches into school health programs. Future studies are recommended to assess long-term behavioral outcomes within broader policy frameworks.
