Abstract

Toddler weight gain is influenced by multiple factors, particularly nutritional intake and sleep quality. Although appetite-stimulating massage may improve comfort and appetite, its effectiveness depends on adequate nutrition and sufficient sleep. This study aimed to analyze the influence of sleep quality and nutritional intake on toddler weight gain following an appetite-stimulating massage intervention. An observational analytic study with a prospective cohort design was conducted among 30 toddlers selected through total sampling. The intervention consisted of a 15–20-minute appetite-stimulating massage administered twice weekly for eight weeks. Sleep quality was assessed using the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), nutritional intake was evaluated through two-day 24-hour dietary recalls analyzed with NutriSurvey based on the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), and body weight was measured before and after the intervention. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that sleep quality and nutritional intake jointly had a significant effect on toddler weight gain (F = 22.134; p = 0.001). The model explained 59.5% of the variance in weight gain (Adjusted R² = 0.595). Nutritional intake was the strongest predictor (β = 0.485), followed by sleep quality (β = 0.372). These findings indicate that adequate nutritional intake and good sleep quality significantly enhance toddler weight gain following appetite-stimulating massage, with nutritional intake being the most influential factor.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from inadequate insulin production or impaired insulin utilization. Blood glucose can be managed through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Combining insulin therapy with diabetic foot exercises may improve insulin sensitivity and peripheral blood circulation, thereby helping to reduce blood glucose levels. This study aimed to describe the implementation of combined insulin therapy and diabetic foot exercises in patients with diabetes mellitus at Dr. Adjidarmo General Hospital, Rangkasbitung. A case study design was conducted involving two patients with diabetes mellitus over a three-day observation period. Data were collected through interviews, physical examinations, observations, blood glucose measurements, and documentation. Following the combined intervention for 3 × 24 hours, both patients experienced reductions in blood glucose levels accompanied by improvements in hyperglycemic symptoms, including dizziness, weakness, excessive thirst, and polyuria. These findings suggest that combining insulin therapy with diabetic foot exercises may contribute to improved short-term glycemic control. Nurses play an essential role in providing health education, encouraging treatment adherence, promoting regular foot exercises, and supporting healthy lifestyle practices to maintain blood glucose control and prevent diabetes-related complications.

Abstract

Breast engorgement is a common lactation problem in postpartum mothers and can hinder the breastfeeding process and increase the risk of exclusive breastfeeding failure. Factors associated with breast engorgement include maternal age, parity, and implementation of Early Breastfeeding Initiation. The study aims to determine the correlation between maternal age, parity, and implementation of Early Breastfeeding Initiation with the incidence of breast engorgement in postpartum mothers at Bayiku Lactation Clinic, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Quantitative research with descriptive analytical design using a cross-sectional approach was employed as the research method. A sample of 33 postpartum mothers was selected using an accidental sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews using factual questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. A total of 42.4% of respondents experienced breast engorgement. There was a significant correlation between maternal age and the incidence of breast engorgement (p=0.038; r=-0.363), parity (p=0.009; r=0.448), and Early Breastfeeding Initiation (p=0.000; r=0.694). The Early Breastfeeding Initiation variable showed the strongest correlation with the incidence of breast milk engorgement. There is a significant correlation between maternal age, parity, and implementation of Early Breastfeeding Initiation with the incidence of breast milk engorgement in postpartum mothers, and Early Breastfeeding Initiation becomes the factor with the strongest correlation. Optimizing Early Breastfeeding Initiation implementation and lactation education is recommended as an effort to prevent breast milk engorgement.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major global public health problem and a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although commonly associated with older adults, its prevalence has increased among individuals of productive age due to unhealthy lifestyles, including poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, and inadequate sleep. Poor sleep quality has emerged as a modifiable risk factor for hypertension. This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and hypertension among adults of productive age using a quantitative cross-sectional design. Data were analyzed to assess the association between sleep quality and hypertension status. The results showed a significant relationship between sleep quality and hypertension (p = 0.001), indicating that individuals with poor sleep quality were more likely to experience hypertension. These findings are consistent with previous studies reporting an increasing prevalence of hypertension among younger and productive-age populations, partly attributable to insufficient sleep and late-night gadget use. High work demands and busy daily routines may contribute to impaired sleep quality, thereby increasing the risk of hypertension. In conclusion, poor sleep quality is significantly associated with hypertension among productive-age adults, highlighting the importance of promoting healthy sleep habits as part of hypertension prevention strategies.
