Abstract

Menstrual hygiene management is an action to maintain cleanliness and health when women experience menstruation. If not appropriately implemented, young women will not be able to meet their needs for cleanliness, appearance, and reproductive health during pregnancy. So, it is easier to get urinary tract infections, vaginal discharge, cervical cancer, and other reproductive health problems. This study aimed to determine what factors influence menstrual hygiene management. This study used a sample of 103 adolescents in the Klaten area. This research was conducted using a cross-sectional method using a total sampling technique. The menstrual hygiene management questionnaire has been tested for validity and reliability with a value of r = 0.69. after being tested using Kendall's Tau test, the results showed that menarche's age (0.077 > 0.05) did not correlate with menstrual hygiene management. Cycle menstruation (0.025 < 0.05) influences menstrual hygiene management. Knowledge (0.043 < 0.05) influences menstrual hygiene management. Attitude (0.592 > 0.05) does not influence menstrual hygiene management. Myth or trust (0.049 < 0.05) influences menstrual hygiene management. The most influential factor in menstrual hygiene management is cycle menstruation.

Abstract

Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the significant health problems worldwide as it can cause deadly heart disease and stroke that often go unnoticed. Controlling blood pressure is important to prevent the recurrence of hypertension and minimize the occurrence of complications resulting from the condition. This study aims to determine the relationship between hypertension severity and recurrence frequency in hypertensive patients at Senduro Health Center. This study is survey research with a correlational design, utilizing a cross-sectional approach with a population of 80 hypertensive patients in the working area of Senduro Health Center. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a sample size of 65 participants. Data was collected using a sphygmomanometer and a questionnaire on the frequency of recurrence, and data analysis was done using the Spearman Rank test. The study results showed that the most common severity of hypertension was stage 1 hypertension, with 27 respondents (41.5%), and the most common frequency of recurrence was rare recurrence, with 32 respondents (49.2%). There was a significant correlation between the severity of hypertension and the frequency of recurrence in hypertensive patients, with a p-value of 0.000 < α=0.05. The higher the severity of hypertension, the more frequent the recurrence in hypertensive patients at Senduro Health Center. It is hoped that the community can control their blood pressure to minimize recurrence and reduce the risk of complications.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia. This infectious disease burdens the affected individuals and impacts their families and the wider community. This study aims to determine the relationship between close contact and environmental factors with the incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) in the working area of Puskesmas Tekung. This quantitative research employs an analytical correlation design. The sample consists of 30 respondents who received services at the general clinic of Puskesmas Tekung, selected using accidental sampling techniques. The results show that most respondents (21 or 70%) did not have close contact with TB patients. Additionally, most respondents (22 or 73.3%) lived in a healthy environment. TB-negative results were found in 19 respondents (63.3%). Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test revealed a significant relationship between close contact and the incidence of TB with a p-value of 0.000. A similar significant relationship was found between environmental factors and TB incidence, where respondents living in a healthy environment were less likely to contract TB (p=0.000). The proposed solution is to enhance educational programs and public outreach about maintaining distance from TB patients and creating a healthy environment. This can be achieved through seminars, educational material distribution, and health campaigns at the village level. Additionally, it is crucial to promote clean living habits, including mask usage and proper coughing etiquette, and to strengthen environmental sanitation efforts to reduce the risk of TB transmission.

Abstract

Academic stress is a significant issue university students face, often arising from academic pressures such as deadlines, exams, and high expectations. These pressures disrupt mental and physical balance, leading to issues like insomnia, which can negatively impact students' health and academic performance. This study examines the relationship between academic stress levels and insomnia among university students, seeking to provide insights and practical recommendations for managing stress and improving sleep quality. A comprehensive review of 15 studies was conducted to analyze the connection between academic stress and insomnia. The research focused on various contributing factors, including academic workloads, social support, and environmental influences such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings indicate a significant relationship between academic stress and insomnia. Heavy academic workloads, tight exam schedules, and high faculty and parent expectations contributed significantly. Additionally, factors such as depression, anxiety, poor sleep hygiene, excessive digital device use, and unsupportive family dynamics were found to exacerbate sleep disturbances. The COVID-19 pandemic further intensified academic stress, leading to worsened sleep quality. While some studies found no direct correlation, they suggested that coping mechanisms, social support, and sleep habits might mitigate the impact of stress on sleep. Academic stress contributes significantly to insomnia among university students, affecting their quality of life and academic performance. Key triggers include heavy workloads, exams, and high expectations, worsened by poor sleep habits and technology dependence. The COVID-19 pandemic has further intensified these issues. Interventions in stress management, sleep habits, and mental health support are essential, with further research needed to explore the role of social support in reducing insomnia.

Abstract

Patients undergoing emergency hemodialysis therapy will experience anxiety caused by financial crises, fear of death, and stressors. One of the effective distraction techniques used to overcome anxiety in patients is using Murottal Al-Qur'an Audio. The brain will release neuropeptides that can provide comfort and pleasure when stimulated by Murottal Al-Qur'an Audio, which will lessen the patient’s anxiety. The research design used is quantitative research with a pre-experimental One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design approach. The population in this study were patients undergoing Cito hemodialysis who met the inclusion criteria, with a sample of 31 respondents. The sampling technique used accidental sampling. The research results were obtained before Murottal Al-Qur’an Audio was carried out from a total of 31 respondents: 18 (58.1%) respondents experienced severe anxiety, 12 (38.7%) respondents experienced moderate anxiety, and 1 (3.2%) respondent experienced mild anxiety. After carrying out Murottal Al-Qur'an Audio, it was found that 21 (67.7%) respondents experienced mild anxiety, 10 (32.3%) respondents experienced moderate anxiety, and none (0%) respondents experienced severe anxiety. After analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, the results showed p-value = 0.000, indicating Murottal Al-Qur'an Audio's influence on the Anxiety Level of Cito Hemodialysis Patients. It is hoped that hospital management can use Audio Murottal Al-Qur'an as a non-pharmacological technique/alternative therapy in providing nursing care to reduce the level of anxiety in patients undergoing Cito hemodialysis.

Abstract

Asthma is a common respiratory disease that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Despite advances in asthma management, challenges remain in controlling symptoms and maintaining patients' quality of life. Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) is an important parameter for monitoring lung function and managing asthma effectively. This study explores the relationship between Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) values and the quality of life of asthma patients at the Pulmonary Polyclinic of Bhayangkara Lumajang Hospital. The study design used was observational analytics with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of asthma patients undergoing regular check-ups at the pulmonary clinic, with a sample size of 60 patients selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using a peak flow meter to measure PEF values and the Standardized Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ-S) to assess patients' quality of life. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed that 37 respondents (61.7%) experienced airway narrowing, while 23 respondents (38.3%) had more severe airway narrowing. Regarding quality of life, 34 respondents (56.7%) fell into the moderate quality of life category, while 26 respondents (43.3%) were in the poor quality of life category. Spearman rank correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between PEF values and the quality of life of asthma patients, with a ρ-value = 0.000. This indicates that higher PEF values are associated with better quality of life among asthma patients. The study concludes that PEF is an important indicator for assessing the quality of life of asthma patients, and regular PEF monitoring can help improve their quality of life. This research provides a foundation for developing more effective asthma management strategies.

Abstract

Health issues arise from human behavior in interacting with themselves and their environment. The Healthy Indonesia 2025 policy establishes three pillars: healthy behavior, a healthy environment, and equitable, high-quality healthcare services. Living in group settings, such as Islamic boarding schools, poses risks of quickly contracting various diseases, particularly skin diseases like ringworm, itching, tinea versicolor, athlete’s foot, and scabies. Transmission occurs when personal and environmental hygiene is not adequately maintained. This study aims to determine the effect of health promotion on health behavior among students at the Raudlotul Falah Islamic Boarding School in Lumajang. The research design employs a pre-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test one-group design. The sample consisted of 32 students selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire. The Wilcoxon statistical test was used to analyze the data. The study concluded that health promotion positively influenced students' clean and healthy living behavior at the Raudlotul Falah Islamic Boarding School. Before the intervention, all respondents (32 students, 100%) exhibited poor health behaviors. Following health promotion, 13 students (40.6%) remained in the poor health category, 17 students (53.1%) improved to a moderately healthy category, one student (3.1%) reached a healthy category, and one student (3.1%) attained a very healthy category. The impact of health promotion on clean and healthy living behaviors was statistically significant, as evidenced by the Wilcoxon test results, which showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). To enhance these outcomes, implementing solutions such as increased education and counseling programs for students on the importance of healthy lifestyles is recommended. These initiatives could involve distributing educational materials, conducting health campaigns, or holding seminars using print media, games, or simulations.

Abstract

Malnutrition, iron deficiency, malabsorption, and chronic illness are the direct causes of anemia. There was already a non-pharmacological treatment for anemia in pregnancy, such as eating green vegetables, beans, chicken liver, beetroot, and red guava fruit. Beets have one of the highest quantities of folic acid of any fruit, at 108 mg, compared to other fruits. The goal of this study was to see how beetroot juice (Beta vulgaris L) affected hemoglobin levels in anemic pregnant women at the Cibatu Health Center in Garut Regency. The approach is a quasi-experimental investigation. The population was made up of 234 pregnant women in their third trimester. Purposive sampling was used in this study, with 48 persons separated into the experimental and control groups. Observation sheets and Easy Touch GCHb were used as instruments. Paired T-test and Independent Samples Test were used to analyze the data. The results demonstrate that before being given beet juice, the average hemoglobin level in the experimental group was 9.09. After being given beetroot juice, it was 10,98 while in the control group. Observation sheets and Easy Touch GCHb were used as instruments. Paired T-test and Independent Samples Test were used to analyze the data. The results show that before being given beet juice, the average hemoglobin level in the experimental group was 9.09, and after being given beetroot juice was 10,98. In contrast, in the control group, the hemoglobin level of the first examination was 8.99, and the hemoglobin level of the second examination was 9.92. The p-value for the bivariate analysis between and within groups was 0.000 (0.05). It can be inferred that beetroot juice affects hemoglobin levels in anemic pregnant women. This finding is predicted to help boost hemoglobin levels in pregnant women who have anemia.

Abstract

Response time is a combination of the response time when the patient comes to the health center until he receives service from the staff. The standard time is ≤ 5 minutes for patients to be served after arriving at the emergency room. Long response times can result in the risk of death or disability. Fast and precise response time can create a feeling of satisfaction with the service received. This study aims to determine the correlation between nurse response time, service quality, and family satisfaction in the UPT Kedungjajang Emergency Room Community Health Center. This was multivariate quantitative research using correlational analytical methods with a cross-sectional study. Respondents were obtained in the emergency room of the Kedungjajang Community Health Center, which was held from 26 June to 26 July 2024. The sampling technique used Total Sampling with a sample of 5 nurses and Accidental Sampling with 48 patient families. The instrument uses observation and questionnaires, and it is analyzed using SPSS with the MANOVA test. The research results showed that fast nurse response time at good service quality was 40 respondents (93.0%), fast nurse response time at the satisfaction point was 43 respondents (95.6%), and a significant p-value was obtained at p=0.022 at Nurse Response Time on service quality and p = 0.001 on nurse Response Time on family satisfaction. Service standards in assisting quickly and appropriately are provided to patients in the emergency room by competence and ability. Fast and precise response time can create a feeling of satisfaction with the service received. Nurse training is essential, and health centers are expected to provide triage information boards so that patients and families understand the triage priorities given by nurses.
