Abstract

University students often face academic, social, and personal pressures that can trigger psychological distress, such as anxiety or depression, contributing to mental health issues like insomnia. Using a quantitative approach and a correlational research design, this study aims to examine the influence of psychological distress on the tendency for insomnia among university students. A total of 574 university student respondents participated in this study, obtained through accidental sampling techniques. The average age of the respondents was 19 years. The tendency for insomnia was measured using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and psychological distress was measured using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). This study employed ordinal regression analysis. The results showed a significant effect of psychological distress (mean = 26.97, st. dev = 7.29) on the tendency for insomnia (mean = 16.84, st. dev = 4.03) among university students (pseudo-r2 = 0.184, p < 0.001). This means that the higher the level of psychological distress, the greater the tendency for insomnia among university students. This research is expected to make a significant contribution to the literature on university student insomnia by focusing on psychological distress as a potential factor.

Abstract

Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis (GIOP) is the most common form of secondary osteoporosis resulting from long-term glucocorticoid use and is associated with an increased risk of fracture. The management of GIOP continues to evolve as new evidence emerges regarding pharmacological therapy, sequential strategies, and fracture risk-based approaches. This article aims to review glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) therapy based on the current evidence. This study is a literature review with a search of articles from the PubMed database between 2023 and 2026. The literature used includes original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical guidelines relevant to glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). Current evidence suggests that glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) therapy includes bisphosphonates as first-line therapy, denosumab as an alternative in certain at-risk patients, and teriparatide in high-risk patients. Sequential therapy approaches (anabolic-to-antiresorptive) and treat-to-target strategies have been shown to be more effective in increasing and maintaining bone mass. Current evidence-based therapy for glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) emphasizes an individualized, risk-based approach with a combination of pharmacological therapy, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, lifestyle modification, and regular monitoring. This comprehensive approach is essential to reduce fracture risk and improve quality of life in patients taking long-term glucocorticoids.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Indonesia remains below the national target of 80%. In the service area of Karang Intan 1 Community Health Center, the coverage was only 17.3%, contributing to the high prevalence of stunting. This study aimed to explore the experiences of exclusive breastfeeding among the Banjar tribe from socio-ecological and cultural perspectives. A qualitative study with a phenomenological design was conducted involving 27 participants, including breastfeeding mothers, husbands, family members, traditional and religious leaders, and health workers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically using Bronfenbrenner’s Social Ecology Theory and Leininger’s Sunrise Model. The findings showed that exclusive breastfeeding practices are influenced by interactions among family, community, and cultural environments. Support from husbands and parents was essential but often conflicted with traditional practices, such as pre-lactation feeding and postpartum dietary restrictions. Community health cadres and local leaders strengthened social support, while adapting the local Bedadah tradition promoted acceptance of breastfeeding messages. However, formula milk promotion remained a major barrier. The study concludes that exclusive breastfeeding among the Banjar tribe is shaped by the interaction of cultural beliefs, family support, and community influences. Improving breastfeeding outcomes requires culturally sensitive health education, active involvement of family and community leaders, and reinforcement of local cultural values that encourage exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation is an essential component of secondary prevention after myocardial infarction, providing multidimensional benefits beyond pharmacological therapy and coronary revascularization. This literature review aims to examine the clinical, functional, psychological, and preventive benefits of cardiac rehabilitation in patients after myocardial infarction. This study employed a narrative literature review design using secondary data from scientific articles obtained through databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Elsevier, and other reputable journal sources. Articles were selected based on their relevance to post myocardial infarction cardiac rehabilitation, including outcomes related to cardiac function, left ventricular ejection fraction, exercise capacity, recurrent cardiovascular events, hospitalization, mortality, quality of life, and rehabilitation delivery models. A total of 15 scientific articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in this review. The findings indicate that cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction improves left ventricular function, exercise capacity, and health related quality of life. It also contributes to reducing major adverse cardiovascular events, recurrent myocardial infarction, rehospitalization, and long-term cardiovascular mortality. Home based cardiac rehabilitation, tele rehabilitation, and mobile health-based rehabilitation were found to have comparable effectiveness to conventional center based rehabilitation, particularly in improving access, adherence, and continuity of care. The review also highlights the importance of early initiation, patient adherence, gender sensitive approaches, and program standardization to optimize rehabilitation outcomes. In conclusion, cardiac rehabilitation should be recognized as an integral and evidence-based strategy in the comprehensive management of post myocardial infarction patients. Its implementation should be expanded through flexible, accessible, and patient centered models to improve long term cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract

Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines with symptoms of diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, experienced for less than 14 days, with a fairly high prevalence worldwide. One of the laboratory tests carried out is routine blood, including platelet count. When inflammation occurs, platelet production will increase in response from the immune system. To analyze platelets in acute gastroenteritis (AGE) sufferers. The methods of the research is descriptive retrospective using medical record data of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) sufferers.  Results showed that the age distribution of samples was grouped into three groups, namely < 2 years, 3-5 years, and 6-10 years with the main complaints of diarrhea, vomiting, and diarrhea accompanied by vomiting. The platelet count of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) sufferers is more normal, but there is an increase in platelet count in the < 2 years age group with complaints of diarrhea accompanied by vomiting. There is no relationship between platelet count and complaints of diarrhea, vomiting, and diarrhea accompanied by vomiting in acute gastroenteritis (AGE) sufferers.

Abstract

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections with high prevalence in Indonesia. The mecA gene encodes beta-lactam antibiotic resistance, making its specific molecular detection crucial for rapid diagnosis and infection control. This study aimed to develop and validate specific PCR primers for detecting the mecA gene in MRSA as a marker of antibiotic resistance. Laboratory experimental research was conducted at the UPH Advanced Biology Laboratory in November 2025 using certified pure MRSA isolates. DNA extraction was performed with the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit and quantified using a spectrophotometer. Primer design was carried out in silico using NCBI PrimerBLAST and BioEdit, followed by conventional PCR optimization with varying annealing temperatures. Amplification results were validated through agarose gel electrophoresis, with qualitative assessment based on DNA band intensity and sharpness. The mecA primer successfully amplified an 818-bp fragment at an optimal annealing temperature of 55.5°C, producing a single, sharp band without smearing. The negative control (S. aureus) showed no amplification, confirming primer specificity. Despite low DNA concentrations (4.5–7.6 ng/μL), amplification was consistently successful, indicating that this method is capable of reliably detecting the target gene at low DNA levels. This validated method provides an accurate molecular diagnostic tool for rapid identification of resistant pathogens. It supports epidemiological surveillance, nosocomial infection control, and early detection programs within the Indonesian healthcare system. By enabling precise detection of mecA-mediated resistance, the approach strengthens laboratory capacity for monitoring MRSA and contributes to improved public health strategies.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with immune dysfunction and increased susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Procalcitonin (PCT) is widely used as a biomarker of bacterial infection, but its concentrations in patients with DM and pulmonary TB remain insufficiently characterized. To compare serum PCT concentrations between patients with DM with and without active pulmonary TB. This analytical cross-sectional study included 50 patients with DM recruited from two primary healthcare centers in Jambi, Indonesia, from March to June 2025. Participants comprised 34 patients without pulmonary TB and 16 with active pulmonary TB. Serum PCT was measured using fluorescence immunoassay. Non-normally distributed PCT concentrations were summarized using the median and interquartile range (IQR) and compared using the Mann–Whitney U test.PCT concentrations were within the normal reference range (<0.05 ng/mL) in 33/34 (97.1%) patients without pulmonary TB and 13/16 (81.3%) patients with active pulmonary TB. Because measurements at or below 0.05 ng/mL were retained as thresholded values, the median (IQR) was ≤0.05 (≤0.05–≤0.05) ng/mL in both groups. No statistically significant between-group difference was identified (U = 230.000, Z = −1.857, p = 0.063). Serum PCT concentrations did not differ significantly between patients with DM with and without active pulmonary TB. Larger studies with standardized TB confirmation, assessment of treatment status and relevant confounders, and diagnostic-accuracy analyses are warranted.
