Abstract

Background: Early marriage continues to pose significant public health and social challenges in Indonesia, contributing to domestic violence, divorce, poverty, school dropout, and high-risk pregnancies among adolescents. Objective: This study explored the roles of stakeholders in preventing early marriage across seven villages in Pare District, Kediri Regency Methods: utilizing a descriptive qualitative design. Participants included village heads, village officials, village midwives, heads of public health centers, and religious leaders. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and analyzed using data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification. Results: The results indicate that effective prevention of early marriage requires cross- sector collaboration, educational interventions, and structured policy implementation. Key stakeholders, such as village governments, health cadres, community leaders, and educational institutions, contribute through educational and socialization initiatives, including youth-integrated health posts, youth organizations, and school-based counseling. While stakeholder collaboration has demonstrated effectiveness, persistent challenges include limited public awareness, inadequate intersectoral coordination, and uneven program distribution Conclusion:Education emerged as a strategic element, with schools supporting prevention efforts through formal instruction, extracurricular activities, and promotion of legal awareness. Strengthening program evaluation by using measurable, data-driven indicators is recommended.

Abstract

Background : A fracture is defined as a disruption or loss of bone continuity caused by external forces that exceed the bone's ability to absorb them. Fractures may result from direct impact, crushing forces, sudden twisting movements, or even extreme muscle contractions. Fractures commonly cause pain, which varies among individuals and can affect thoughts, daily activities, and overall quality of life. Effective pain management is therefore crucial, and one of the non-pharmacological interventions that can be applied is the Benson Relaxation Technique. Method : This study used a case study design involving a patient with preoperative radius dextra fracture. The intervention was conducted by applying the Benson Relaxation Technique, in which the patient was guided to sit in a comfortable position, breathe slowly, and repeatedly recite words, phrases, or prayers according to their belief system for 20–30 minutes. Result : The initial assessment at 08:00 revealed that the patient experienced pain with an intensity of 7/10, characterized by facial grimacing, restlessness, and frequently holding the fracture site. After the Benson Relaxation intervention, evaluation at 09:00 showed a reduction in pain intensity to 6/10, and the patient appeared calmer, more relaxed, and less grimacing. Conclusion : The application of the Benson Relaxation Technique proved effective in reducing pain intensity in a preoperative patient with a radius dextra fracture. Before the intervention, the patient reported a pain score of 7, while after the intervention the score decreased to 6. Therefore, the Benson Relaxation Technique can be considered a beneficial non-pharmacological intervention in the management of pain among fracture patients.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic ulcer is a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus,characterized by open wounds on the feet due to neuropathy, angiopathy, and decreased immunity, which impair healing and increase the risk of infection and amputation. Objective: This case study aims to describe the nursing care process and evaluate the effectiveness of ointment as a modern dressing in the healing of grade 1 diabetic ulcers. Methods: The study employed a case study approach using the nursing process (assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, evaluation). The subject was a patient with a grade 1 diabetic ulcer at Clinic in Makassar City from August 6 to 11, 2025. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, physical examination, and medical record review. The main intervention was wound care using epithelial ointment, patient education, blood glucose control, and wound monitoring. Evaluation was performed at each visit by assessing wound size, granulation, epithelialization, necrosis, exudate, and signs of infection. Results: On August 6, 2025, the wound measured 2.0 × 1.8 cm, with approximately 50% granulation, 20% epithelialization, 10% necrosis, and mild exudate. After care until August 11, 2025, granulation increased to ±70%, epithelialization to ±30%, necrosis decreased to <5%, exudate was minimal, and no signs of infection were observed. Conclusion: The patient also reported reduced pain and increased comfort during care.

Abstract

Background: Sleep is essential for the physical, cognitive, and emotional development of adolescents. Despite its importance, sleep disturbances are increasingly prevalent in this population and may contribute to mental health problems. Objective: This study analyzed the relationship between sleep disturbances and mental health among adolescents Methods: Sleep disturbances and mental health were measured using the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), respectively. Data analysis employed the Spearman rank correlation test. Results: Results indicated that 79.7% of adolescents experienced sleep disturbances, most frequently related to sleep–wake transitions (29.6%). Additionally, a considerable proportion demonstrated abnormal mental health profiles, with emotional (30.4%) and conduct problems (28.1%) being most prominent. Correlation analysis showed a statistically significant positive relationship between sleep disturbances and both total difficulties (r = 0.145, p = 0.007) and the hyperactivity subscale (r = 0.116, p = 0.031). Conclusion: These findings suggest that compromised sleep quality is closely associated with mental health problems in adolescents. In conclusion, sleep disturbances are significantly associated with mental health outcomes among adolescents in Manado. Addressing sleep quality, particularly sleep–wake transitions, may be a critical intervention to reduce psychological difficulties, underscoring the importance of targeted sleep hygiene programs in adolescent healthcare.

Abstract

Background: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) represents an increasing health burden in Indonesia, with affected individuals experiencing complex needs that substantially diminish quality of life. Objective: aimed to identify palliative care needs among end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a hemodialysis center in North Sulawesi in 2024. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling. The Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool (SPICT) were employed to collect sociodemographic data and identify potential palliative care needs. Univariate analysis was performed to examine palliative care needs among ESKD patients. Results: A total of 150 participants were included. Almost all respondents were identified as needing palliative care, with the majority presenting two general indicators and two clinical indicators. Conclusion: Nearly all patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing haemodialysis are identified as having palliative care needs. This finding suggests the need to integrate routine palliative care assessment and services into patients with end- stage kidney disease, especially those in haemodialysis care to ensure comprehensive and patient-centered management of physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs.

Abstract

Abstrak: Background: Type 1 Diabetes requires complex lifelong care, increasing parental stress. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this burden through disrupted healthcare, limited social support, and financial strain, particularly in Indonesia, where evidence on influencing factors remains limited. Methods: Cross-sectional research with consecutive sampling was conducted in the Family Association of Diabetes Sufferers in Children and Adolescents Indonesia. This study involved 136 parents who met the inclusion criteria. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to identify the relationship between parental characteristics and situational factors on parenting stress. A standard questionnaire and a self-administered questionnaire were used in this research. Results: The analysis demonstrated significant relationships between several variables and parenting stress. Specifically, economic status (p=0.006), marital status (p=0.031), healthcare system challenges during COVID-19 pandemic (p=0.000), social support (p=0.003), and coping mechanisms for children’s illness (p=0.047) were significantly associated with the frequency of parenting stress. Additionally, there were significant relationships between economic status (p=0.000), health care system challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic (p=0.001), and social support (p=0.015) with parenting stress based on parental difficulties. Conclusions: This study identified that parents’ coping mechanisms for managing their child’s illness and the availability of social support are critical factors influencing parenting stress. Notably, higher levels of social support were associated with lower parenting stress. These findings underscore the importance of integrating social support networks and targeted nursing interventions to alleviate parental stress and improve caregiving outcomes. Keywords: Parenting stress, Type 1 diabetes, COVID-19 pandemic, Cross-sectional study.

Abstract

Background: Patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy experience complex physical and psychological problems that require comprehensive nursing care. Nurses’ caring behaviors are important in improving the quality of care provided to patients. However, existing instruments for measuring caring behaviors remain limited, particularly those grounded in Swanson’s Theory of Caring. Therefore, this study aimed to develop conceptual domains and generate items to measure nurses’ caring behaviors toward patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. Objective: To develop a new conceptual framework in the form of domains and produce statement items through a qualitative approach. Methods: This study used a phenomenological approach as the first phase of an instrument development study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 participants receiving chemotherapy, selected through purposive sampling. The interviews were recorded and transcribed digitally, and the data were analyzed using content analysis in NVivo 10 to identify codes, categories, and themes to develop conceptual domains and item statements. Results: A total of 33 statement items were developed from five main domains. The first domain was respect for culture (5 items); the second, information provision (6 items); the third, responsiveness (7 items); the fourth, competence (9 items); and the fifth, overall motivation (6 items). Conclusion: This study generated five domains, comprising 33 positive and negative statement items, that will be used in the questionnaire to measure cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy's perceptions of nurses' behavior.

Abstract

Background: Nurses’ happiness is a critical determinant of job satisfaction and quality of care. Adverse working conditions, shift schedules, and heavy workloads can diminish nurses’ happiness. Objective: Identifying the level of happiness and its primary contributing factors among clinical nurses is therefore essential. Methods: This study utilized a descriptive quantitative approach with the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. Seventy-three clinical nurses from five inpatient wards at Hasanuddin University Hospital in Makassar were selected through purposive sampling. Results: Most respondents reported a very high level of happiness (87.7%), while 12.3% reported a high level. The most significant contributing aspect was the perception that "life is rewarding" (97.3%), followed by "happy memories" (94.5%) and being "pleased with life" (93.2%). Factors associated with higher happiness included the absence of additional employment, effective time management, higher education level, marital status, and higher income. Conclusion: Clinical nurses in inpatient wards at Hasanuddin University Hospital predominantly experience very high levels of happiness, with the perception of a meaningful life emerging as the most influential factor. Both individual and organizational factors contribute to these outcomes. Hospitals should sustain and strengthen supportive work environments by managing workloads, facilitating career development, and providing psychological support programs. Future research should incorporate additional variables, such as burnout and social support, and employ more comprehensive research designs.

Abstract

Background: Lack of knowledge about diseases, suboptimal quality of services, low awareness of risk factors, and low compliance with prevention measures are problems that arise in efforts to control Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in various developing countries worldwide, including Indonesia. Perceptions that are not in accordance with health science can worsen the risk factors for non-communicable diseases, which are currently a major public health problem Objective: to identify which values and cultures should be preserved, negotiated, and even changed. Methods:study is descriptive-analytical, with a cross-sectional design, to analyze community cultural values as a means of controlling non-communicable diseases. This study was conducted in Wologai village, with 79 respondents. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 software with Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient . Results: Community perceptions and behaviors were significantly associated with efforts to control non-communicable disease risk factors (p-value <0.05), whereas traditional medicine, stigma and health, and community ritual and spiritual practices were not (p-value >0.05). Conclusion: Public perception and behavior contribute to NCD risk factor control but are not the primary determinants. Therefore, attention is needed to consider other factors that may also influence the success of NCD risk factor control in the community.
