Abstract

Body image and psychological stress influence patient well-being in the dermatology clinic. This study analyzes the relationship between body image and psychological stress levels in patients at the Dermatology Clinic of Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital. The study used a cross-sectional design with 100 respondents selected through a total sampling technique. The research instruments were the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ) subscale questionnaire to measure body image and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) to measure psychological stress. Data analysis used the Pearson correlation test. The results showed that most respondents had a positive body image (55%) and moderate psychological stress (82%). The Pearson test produced a p-value of 0.008 with a correlation coefficient of 0.266, indicating a significant positive relationship. This study concludes that positive body image is associated with lower levels of psychological stress. A holistic approach is needed in dermatological services that encompasses patients' physical and psychological aspects.

Abstract

Lack of sleep can harm the physical, mental, and emotional health, quality of life, cognitive function, and memory function of the elderly. Poor sleep quality can also directly affect health, with the risk of various problems such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stroke, obesity, heart disease, and several other conditions. Therefore, the need for effective non-pharmacological pain and symptom management strategies during sleep disorders is increasing. One recommended approach is relaxation therapy involving soaking the feet in warm water and jasmine aromatherapy before bedtime. This study aims to evaluate the effects of warm foot baths combined with jasmine aromatherapy on sleep quality and vital signs in older adults with insomnia. Using a case study design, the intervention was given to one participant, an 81-year-old woman diagnosed with moderate insomnia. The participant reported difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking during the night, dissatisfaction with her sleep quality, significant changes in sleep patterns, and insufficient rest. The therapy consisted of warm foot baths with jasmine aromatherapy, performed every night for five consecutive days before bedtime. To assess the effectiveness of the intervention, measurements were taken of changes in the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score, detailed observations of sleep patterns, and general monitoring of vital signs. The study showed a significant decrease in the ISI score from 19 (moderate insomnia) to 8 (mild insomnia). In addition, participants experienced improved sleep quality, characterized by sleeping through the night without waking up, increased sleep satisfaction, and adequate rest. Vital signs showed stabilization during the intervention period, indicating better physiological relaxation. These findings support using warm foot baths and jasmine aromatherapy as an effective nursing intervention to treat insomnia and improve sleep quality in the elderly.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy remains a global health problem with high prevalence, particularly in developing countries, including Indonesia. Limited adherence to iron supplement consumption has prompted the need for alternative, locally available food-based interventions that are more acceptable to the community. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of beetroot (Beta vulgaris) juice in increasing hemoglobin (Hb) levels and alleviating clinical symptoms of anemia among pregnant women in the Tengger region, East Java. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. Thirty-eight pregnant women in their second to third trimester who met the inclusion criteria consumed 200 ml of beetroot juice daily for 14 days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention using the cyanmethemoglobin method and documentation of anemia-related clinical symptoms. The findings revealed a significant increase in Hb levels from an average of 10.4 ± 0.8 g/dL to 11.5 ± 0.9 g/dL (p < 0.001). The proportion of pregnant women with mild anemia decreased from 76.3% to 34.2%, while the proportion of non-anemic status increased. In addition, clinical complaints such as weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath were also significantly reduced. No serious adverse events were reported, with mild side effects that did not interfere with respondent compliance. In conclusion, administering beetroot juice effectively increases hemoglobin levels and improves clinical symptoms of anemia in pregnant women, and has the potential to be an affordable, non-pharmacological nutritional strategy that can support integration into antenatal programs in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

A Caesarean section is a surgical procedure through the abdominal wall and uterus to remove the fetus, which generally causes more severe postpartum pain than standard delivery. Pain due to surgery, if not immediately addressed, will hinder the mother's recovery process and the baby's breastfeeding process. One effort that can be done to reduce pain is with non-pharmacological methods, one of which is through the administration of lavender aromatherapy. This study aimed to explore the implementation of lavender aromatherapy administration for post-cesarean section mothers experiencing acute pain in the Lotus Room of Dr. Haryoto Lumajang Regional Hospital. The method used in this study was a case study involving one participant who met the inclusion criteria, namely a post-CS patient treated in the Lotus Room of Dr. Haryoto Lumajang Regional Hospital, exhibiting 5 out of 6 significant signs and symptoms of acute pain with a moderate to severe pain scale. Data was collected on March 18-20, 2025, using interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. The measurement instrument for the level of pain reduction was the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the observation sheet for outcome criteria. Aromatherapy was implemented using a diffuser with five drops of lavender essential oil twice daily for 20 minutes. The study results showed a reduction in pain levels, with the following criteria: pain complaints decreased from 8 (severe) to 2 (mild), decreased grimacing, decreased anxiety, decreased protective behavior, improved pulse rate, and improved sleep quality. Pain management with one of the lavender aromatherapy interventions can reduce pain from 8 to 2 on NRS.

Abstract

Agricultural workers face complex work pressures such as social isolation, weather dependency, and limited access to health services, which impact their mental health. Agronursing is emerging as a nursing approach that is responsive to the specific needs of agrarian communities in a holistic and culturally based manner. This article explores the role of agronursing in supporting farmworkers' mental health through contextualized and sustainable interventions. This literature review employed a systematic search in ScienceDirect, PubMed, and MDPI databases for articles published between 2020 and 2025. From 4,371 identified articles, a multi-stage screening and eligibility process was conducted, resulting in 10 articles that met all inclusion criteria for final analysis. Burnout and mental health problems are prevalent among agricultural workers due to various internal and external stressors. Various approaches, such as increasing psychological and social capital, self-coping strategies, and multimodal interventions, have proven effective in maintaining farmers' mental well-being. An agronursing perspective and community support are important in sustainably building farmers' psychological resilience. Farmers' mental health is adversely affected by economic stress, overwork, and social isolation, with stigma and mistrust hindering access to support. Effective interventions must be context-sensitive and involve farmers to ensure psychological impact and community acceptance.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) imposes not only physical but also substantial psychological burdens, particularly stress, which may compromise treatment adherence and outcomes. While the Health Belief Model (HBM) has been widely applied to predict TB treatment behaviors, its utility in explaining how sociodemographic factors shape stress levels remains underexplored. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the association between sociodemographic characteristics and stress among 150 pulmonary TB patients in Jombang Regency, Indonesia, using the HBM as a theoretical lens. Stress was assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale–42 (DASS-42), with 62.7% of participants reporting moderate to severe stress. Chi-square and binary logistic regression analyses revealed that education (p = 0.012; OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.10–3.25), marital status (p = 0.021; OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.05–2.80), and occupation (p = 0.008; OR = 2.45, 95% CI: 1.30–4.60) were significantly associated with stress levels, whereas age and gender were not (p > 0.05). Occupation emerged as the strongest predictor, with unemployed or informally employed patients more than twice as likely to experience high stress. These findings underscore the role of perceived barriers and self-efficacy—core HBM constructs shaped by sociodemographic context—in influencing psychological distress. Integrating tailored psychosocial support into TB care is essential to mitigate stress and enhance treatment success.

Abstract

Pesticide exposure is one of the most significant risks farmers faces, especially regarding respiratory health. Lack of understanding about using personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe work procedures makes farmers vulnerable to respiratory problems. This study aims to identify the impact of pesticide exposure on farmers' respiratory health from an agronursing perspective. This research is a literature review study that uses a quantitative descriptive approach. The sample was taken from 10 articles from PubMed, Science Direct, and Semantic Scholar, which were considered most relevant. The study showed pesticide exposure is significantly associated with increased respiratory disorders such as asthma, chronic cough, and decreased lung function. Risk factors include frequency of spraying, type of pesticide, and lack of PPE use. The agronursing approach is important in the prevention and management of health impacts due to pesticides. The role of nurses as educators, behavior change facilitators, and intervention developers is essential to increase farmers' awareness and health protection.

Abstract

Patient loyalty is a critical determinant of sustainability for private healthcare providers, particularly in developing countries where competition with public insurance systems is intense. This study aimed to analyze the influence of the 5P marketing mix strategy—product, price, place, promotion, and people—on the loyalty of non-National Health Insurance (non-BPJS) patients at Klinik Pratama Surya Husada Tulungagung, Indonesia. A quantitative explanatory design was employed with a sample of 110 non-BPJS patients selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed through multiple regression. Classical assumption tests confirmed normality, absence of multicollinearity, homoscedasticity, and autocorrelation, validating the regression model. The results indicated that product (β = 0.601, p < 0.001), promotion (β = 0.080, p < 0.001), and people (β = 0.308, p < 0.001) had significant positive effects on patient loyalty. In contrast, price (β = −0.070, p < 0.001) and place (β = −0.079, p < 0.001) showed significant adverse effects. The simultaneous effect test revealed that all five variables significantly influenced loyalty (F = 2026.128, p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.990; Adjusted R² = 0.989) demonstrated that the 5P marketing mix could explain 99% of the variance in patient loyalty. These findings underscore the critical role of service quality, human resources, and effective promotion in strengthening patient loyalty, while pricing and accessibility require careful strategic adjustments. The study contributes to healthcare marketing literature by validating the 5P framework in the Indonesian primary care context. It provides actionable insights for private clinics seeking to enhance competitiveness in a dual healthcare system.

Abstract

Health literacy is crucial in palliative care, where patients often face complex medical conditions and must make end-of-life decisions. This literature review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of health literacy interventions in improving patient outcomes in palliative care settings. The review synthesized evidence from high-quality studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental designs, with a focus on various intervention strategies such as educational programs, multimedia tools, and health coaching. The review utilized the PRISMA framework for study selection and the JBI critical appraisal checklist for assessing study quality. It included studies from databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, focusing on publications from 2016 to 2025. The studies consistently showed that these interventions enhance patient understanding, engagement in treatment decisions, and overall quality of life. However, challenges remain in identifying the most effective interventions due to variations in study designs and outcome measures. This review highlights the significance of health literacy interventions in palliative care, advocating for additional research that focuses on LHL-specific strategies and standardized outcome measures to improve patient care.

Abstract

The use of pesticides in agriculture increases crop yields, but poses health risks to farmers, especially without PPE. Global data shows a high rate of pesticide poisoning, especially in developing countries. In Indonesia, farmers' awareness and compliance with the use of PPE are still low due to factors related to education, training, and risk perception. This study aims to analyze the level of awareness among farmers regarding the use of PPE and the factors that influence their occupational safety practices when using pesticides. This study employed a literature review method, searching articles from three electronic databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink. The selection of articles was carried out in stages based on the keywords used "farmers" OR "agricultural workers" AND "awareness" OR "knowledge" OR "perception" AND "personal protective equipment" OR "PPE" AND "use" OR "utilization" OR "practice" AND "analysis" OR "study" OR "assessment", until 12 primary articles were analyzed in depth. The results show that the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) remains relatively low and inconsistent, despite most individuals having received training and sufficient knowledge. There is a gap between knowledge and practice of PPE use among tobacco farmers, which is influenced by various social and structural factors. Educational interventions based on behavioral models, cross-sectoral involvement, and the provision of adequate PPE are essential to improve farmers' work safety sustainably.
