Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between anemia and work productivity among tailors, focusing on how this prevalent condition impacts their work performance and productivity. Anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin levels, is known to affect various aspects of health, but its specific implications for occupational productivity, particularly in the tailoring profession, have not been extensively studied. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from a sample of 300 tailors with qualitative interviews to assess productivity levels and anemia severity. Quantitative analysis revealed that tailors with anemia experienced a significant reduction in productivity, with severe anemia associated with nearly a 50% decrease in work output compared to non-anemic workers. Qualitative insights highlighted common issues such as fatigue and diminished work capacity among anemic tailors, further substantiating the quantitative findings. The results also identified significant differences based on gender and age, with female and older tailors showing greater productivity losses. These findings indicate that anemia’s impact is not uniform across all demographics, suggesting the need for targeted interventions. The study’s implications are far-reaching, informing health policy by emphasizing the need for improved nutritional programs, routine anemia screening, and better access to healthcare services. It also highlights the necessity for supportive workplace practices and tailored interventions specific to the tailoring profession.

Abstract

Nurses working in emergency units are frequently exposed to high levels of stress due to the demanding nature of their roles. This study investigates the effectiveness of a stress management training program designed to alleviate stress, improve job satisfaction, and reduce burnout among emergency unit nurses. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data. Participants included registered nurses from a single healthcare facility. The training program, delivered over six weeks, incorporated cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and relaxation exercises. Stress levels, job satisfaction, and burnout were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Qualitative insights were gathered through semi-structured interviews. The training program led to a significant reduction in perceived stress and anxiety, with average decreases of 25% in PSS scores and notable improvements in STAI scores. Job satisfaction increased by 18%, and burnout levels decreased, with reductions of 20% in emotional exhaustion and 15% in depersonalization. The program also contributed to a 10% reduction in absenteeism and a 12% decrease in turnover intentions. Qualitative feedback highlighted enhanced coping strategies, improved emotional resilience, and better team dynamics.

Abstract

Effective management of diabetes requires consistent adherence to prescribed therapy, a process that can be significantly influenced by family support. This study explores the relationship between family support and therapy adherence in diabetes patients, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of how different forms of support impact disease management. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including a cross-sectional survey and in-depth interviews. The survey assessed therapy adherence using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and family support through a standardized scale. A sample of 300 diabetes patients was surveyed, and 30 participants were selected for qualitative interviews to explore their experiences and perceptions of family support. Quantitative analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between family support and therapy adherence. Patients who reported higher levels of emotional and practical support from their families exhibited better adherence to medication and lifestyle recommendations. Qualitative findings highlighted that supportive family interactions, such as encouragement and practical assistance, significantly contributed to effective disease management. However, the study also identified potential negative effects of over-involvement or controlling behaviors from family members, which could undermine adherence and increase patient stress.

Abstract

Anemia is a condition where there is a reduction in red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the blood circulation or hemoglobin mass so that they are unable to fulfill their function as a carrier of oxygen throughout the tissues. Anemia in pregnancy is caused by iron deficiency, reaching approximately 95%. Globally, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women throughout the world is 41.8%. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Asia is estimated at 48.2%, Africa 57.1%, America 24.1% and Europe 25.1%. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia is 70% and the prevalence of anemia in South Kalimantan is 10.9%. Anemia in pregnant women is associated with increased births of low birth weight (LBW) babies, prematurity, maternal and child deaths and infectious diseases. Iron deficiency anemia in the mother can affect the growth and development of the fetus/baby during pregnancy and afterward.

Abstract

The postpartum period (puerperium) begins after the placenta is born and ends when the uterine organs return to their pre-pregnancy state which lasts for 6 weeks or 42 days. Postpartum maternal health services are health services for postpartum mothers according to standards, which are carried out at least 4 times according to the recommended schedule, namely at six to 8 hours after delivery, on the sixth day after delivery, at 2 weeks after delivery and at 6 weeks postpartum.It is estimated that 60% of maternal deaths due to pregnancy occur after delivery and 50% of postpartum deaths occur within the first 24 hours. Maternal deaths during the postpartum period are usually caused by postpartum infections (10%), this occurs due to lack of wound care, bleeding (42%) due to tearing of the birth canal, retained placenta and uterine otonia, eclampsia (13%) and postpartum complications (11% ). Postpartum care is very necessary because this period is a critical period for both mother and baby (Lidya, 2017). Postpartum visits are carried out to assess the health condition of the mother and baby, prevent health problems, detect complications and deal with problems that occur.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of vitamin D supplementation on bone fracture healing, focusing on its ability to improve healing rates, reduce time to union, and enhance functional recovery. A deficiency in vitamin D is linked to slower bone healing and higher risk of complications, particularly in individuals with limited sun exposure or osteoporosis. The research demonstrates that vitamin D supplementation can significantly accelerate bone healing, making it a valuable intervention in fracture care. The findings suggest that incorporating vitamin D into clinical guidelines could optimize patient outcomes, particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly. However, further research is needed to establish the optimal dosage, duration, and long-term effects of vitamin D supplementation. This approach has the potential to reduce healthcare costs by minimizing complications and improving overall fracture recovery, making it a cost-effective and accessible solution in clinical settings. The study highlights the importance of addressing vitamin D deficiency in fracture patients and the potential for improved patient quality of life and bone health.

Abstract

This research examines the factors influencing abortion decisions among adolescents and the subsequent impact on their health. It explores key determinants such as limited access to contraception, societal stigma, cultural pressures, and legal barriers that contribute to adolescent pregnancies and influence abortion choices. The study also investigates the physical, emotional, and psychological consequences of abortion on adolescents, highlighting the importance of post-abortion care and mental health support. Findings suggest that inadequate sexual and reproductive health education, coupled with cultural and legal challenges, increases the risk of unsafe abortions and negative health outcomes. The study underscores the need for comprehensive sexual education, improved access to contraception, and policy reforms to ensure safe, legal abortion services for adolescents. Addressing societal stigma and providing emotional support are also crucial in mitigating the adverse effects of abortion on adolescent well-being. These findings have important implications for adolescent health, societal attitudes, and policy development aimed at empowering adolescents to make informed and healthy reproductive choices.
