Abstract

Posyandu cadres play a strategic role as the spearhead of promotive and preventive services within the Integrated Primary Health Care (IPHC) framework. However, the extent to which cadres’ perceptions influence the actual implementation of ILP activities remains insufficiently understood. This study aims to analyze the association between cadres’ perceptions of the ILP Posyandu and its implementation. A descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in October 2025 among 29 health cadres selected using purposive sampling. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. A total of 51.7% of cadres had negative perceptions of the ILP Posyandu, while 58.6% reported exemplary implementation. Statistical analysis showed no significant association between cadres' perceptions and ILP implementation (p = 0.176). Cadre’s perceptions do not significantly predict the implementation of ILP Posyandu. This suggests that ILP implementation is more strongly driven by systemic and structural factors such as supervision quality, training, and infrastructure availability rather than individual cadre understanding. Policy efforts should prioritize strengthening system-level support mechanisms to improve ILP Posyandu performance.

Abstract

Anxiety in mothers entering the latent phase of the first stage of labor can arise due to various factors, including psychological conditions, lack of family support, fear of the birthing process, limited information, and physical complaints experienced during labor. One non-pharmacological approach that has the potential to help reduce anxiety is endorphin massage, a massage technique believed to stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural stress reducers. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of endorphin massage in reducing anxiety levels in pregnant women. The research design used a quantitative descriptive method with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 25 mothers in the first stage of labor at TPMB Diah Ulul in Probolinggo City were included in the sample. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) before and after the intervention. Univariate analysis was used to describe the distribution of results, while differences in anxiety scores were tested using the t-test. The results showed a statistically significant decrease in anxiety after endorphin massage (t = 19.5; p < 0.001), with the average HARS score decreasing from 29.9 to 13.9. These findings indicate that endorphin massage is an effective non-pharmacological intervention and can be recommended as a supportive measure to help reduce anxiety in laboring mothers, thereby potentially improving comfort and the quality of the birthing experience.

Abstract

Acute respiratory infections (ARIs), particularly the common cold, account for 30–40% of toddler consultations in primary care settings in Indonesia. Nonpharmacological complementary therapies are urgently needed to reduce disease burden and antibiotic misuse. To evaluate the impact of a 2-day parent-administered "common-cold massage" program on illness duration among toddlers with mild ARI. A quasi-experimental, one-group pre-test/post-test study was conducted at PMB Nurul Asyaroti, Malang, Indonesia. Following ethical approval and parental consent, 16 toddlers (12–59 months) meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Parents received a 30-minute health promotion session and an illustrated leaflet and then applied the 10-step massage twice daily for two consecutive days. Illness duration (in hours from baseline to the first 24-hour period free of nasal congestion/rhinorrhea) was documented by parents and verified by a blinded assessor on day 3. Data were analyzed with a paired t-test; effect size (Cohen's d) and 95% CI are reported. Mean illness-duration decreased from 4.6 days (SD 0.89) pre-intervention to 2.9 days (SD 0.62) post-intervention (mean reduction 1.7 days; 95 % CI 1.2–2.1; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 2.1, indicating a huge effect). No adverse events were reported. Teaching parents a short, standardized massage significantly shortened the duration of common colds in toddlers. A randomized controlled trial is warranted to confirm the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the intervention before scaling it across Indonesian community health centers.

Abstract

Pregnant women commonly experience sleep disturbances, which may affect maternal well-being. Prenatal exercise is a non-pharmacological intervention that can improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing physical discomfort. This study aimed to examine the effect of prenatal exercise on sleep quality among pregnant women. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted from May to August 2024. A total of 33 pregnant women were selected using purposive sampling. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after participation in a structured prenatal exercise program conducted regularly. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The mean PSQI score decreased significantly from 12.39 before the intervention to 5.44 after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000, indicating a substantial improvement in sleep quality. Prenatal exercise has a significant positive effect on sleep quality in pregnant women. It can be recommended as a safe and effective intervention to be integrated into routine antenatal care services.

Abstract

The 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive is widely used because of its effectiveness, convenience, and affordability. However, prolonged use may cause side effects, particularly menstrual disturbances such as spotting, which can affect user comfort and compliance. This study's aimed to analyze the association between the duration of 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive use and the occurrence of spotting among family planning acceptors. This analytical cross-sectional study involved 30 family planning acceptors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Among the 30 respondents, 66.7% had used the 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive for 1–2 years, and 43.3% experienced spotting. Statistical analysis showed no significant association between the duration of 3-month DMPA use and spotting (p = 0.088). Spotting is a common side effect among users of the 3-month DMPA injectable contraceptive, but it is not significantly associated with the duration of use. Comprehensive counseling and education regarding potential side effects are essential to improve user comfort and contraceptive compliance.

Abstract

Child marriage remains a persistent public health issue in Indonesia, including in Jember Regency. Early marriage is closely linked to adolescent pregnancy and may increase the risk of childbirth complications, which contribute to maternal and neonatal morbidity. This study aimed to analyze the association between child marriage (<18 years) and the incidence of childbirth complications. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted using purposive sampling. The study included 30 mothers who had delivered between January and December 2024 and met the inclusion criteria. Data were obtained from medical records. Age at marriage was categorized as <18 years or≥18 years, and childbirth complications were recorded as present or absent. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression. Of the total respondents, 2 mothers married before age 18, and 28 married at age 18 or older. Childbirth complications occurred in 1 out of 2 mothers (50.0%) who married before 18 years and in 24 out of 28 mothers (85.7%) who married at ≥18 years. Statistical analysis showed a significant association between age at marriage and childbirth complications (p = 0.042). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age at marriage was associated with the risk of childbirth complications (OR = 5.45). Age at marriage is significantly associated with the incidence of childbirth complications. These findings highlight the importance of preventing child marriage, strengthening reproductive health education, and improving the quality of antenatal care services to reduce maternal and neonatal complications.

Abstract

Surgical interventions experience various challenges during the recovery process, including levels of anxiety, pain, and difficulty in early mobilization. The provision of education as a health education method needs to be emphasized in this phase. The sophistication of technology in presenting health education through video media is one alternative for education delivery. This study aims to explain the effect of preoperative health education with educational video media on anxiety, pain, and early mobilization behavior in patients with post-ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) lower extremity fractures. This study uses an Experimental Design (posttest-only with a control group). Two groups were randomly selected; the experimental group received a health education intervention using educational videos, while the control group received a health education intervention in accordance with the hospital's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Analysis with an Independent sample t-test showed a significant value of intervention in providing preoperative health education with educational video media on anxiety (p < α = 0.040), on pain (p < α = 0.025), and on early mobilization (p < α = 0.001) in patients with post-ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) lower extremity fractures. Preoperative health education using an educational video on early mobilization behavior variables showed a difference or average change value that was more positive than those for the anxiety and pain variables. Preoperative health education intervention with educational video media affects anxiety, pain, and early mobilization of patients with lower limb fractures after ORIF. The delivery of education with video media is more effective and more focused on achieving the goal of providing education. The intervention group showed a decrease in the average level of anxiety and pain, as well as a better average early mobilization behavior than the control group. Health education in the form of educational videos attracts more attention by delivering clearer information supported by the detailed process of moving illustrations and presenting objects in detail, which can help understand difficult material and provide an emotional and motivational impact, to help respondents reduce anxiety levels, pain, and improve early mobilization behaviors in the rehabilitation phase after surgery.

Abstract

Pesticide exposure among farmers poses significant health risks globally; however, comprehensive recent evidence on the role of nursing in mitigating these hazards remains underexplored. This systematic review aims to synthesize empirical findings from 2024 to 2025 on the health impacts of pesticide exposure in farming populations and discusses implications for agronursing practice. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across Scopus, PubMed, and ProQuest using the keywords "pesticide," "farmer," and "nursing." From an initial pool of 2,757 records, 10 original research articles published between 2024 and 2025 met the inclusion criteria: full-text, English-language, open-access, peer-reviewed research articles with ethical clearance, an active DOI, and no study design restrictions beyond excluding non-original works. The 10 included studies were conducted in Thailand, Spain, Greece, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Türkiye, and India. These studies revealed consistent associations between pesticide exposure and adverse health outcomes, including sleep disorders, depression, suicide attempts, oxidative stress, DNA damage, elevated inflammatory markers, and increased stroke risk biomarkers. Behavioral assessments indicated widespread deficiencies in safe pesticide handling and low risk perception. Importantly, nurse-led interventions demonstrated effectiveness in improving occupational health service delivery and farmer knowledge. Pesticide exposure continues to pose a risk to farmers' health across diverse global settings. Agronursing emerges as a vital interdisciplinary approach to address this challenge through education, early detection, advocacy, and community-based prevention. Integrating agronursing competencies into primary healthcare and nursing curricula is crucial for protecting agricultural workers and promoting sustainable rural health.

Abstract

Long-term use of progestin-based injectable contraception, particularly depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), may influence glucose metabolism by increasing insulin resistance, thereby elevating the risk of prediabetes and hyperglycemia. This study aims to examine the relationship between the duration of injectable contraceptive use and blood sugar levels among family planning acceptors. A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in 2025. A total of 30 respondents were selected using purposive sampling from 150 active injectable contraceptive users. Blood glucose levels were measured using a digital glucometer through random blood glucose testing, and data on the duration of injectable contraceptive use were collected via structured interviews. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Most respondents were aged 26–35 years (53.3%) and had used injectable contraception for 1–3 years (40%). Overall, 40% of participants exhibited elevated blood sugar levels, categorized as prediabetes or hyperglycemia. A statistically significant association was identified between a more prolonged duration of injectable contraceptive use and elevated blood sugar levels (p = 0.021). Prolonged use of injectable contraception is significantly associated with elevated blood sugar levels. Routine glucose monitoring and targeted health counseling are recommended for long-term injectable contraceptive users to reduce the risk of metabolic complications.

Abstract

Children exhibit a range of individual characteristics, such as age, cognitive development, emotional maturity, and prior experiences, that significantly influence how they understand and respond to wound care. These differences shape both their knowledge of appropriate first-aid practices and their attitudes toward managing injuries, leading to varied approaches in caring for wounds when they occur. This study's Objective is to analyze the effect of the demonstration education method using Short Education Movie (SEM) on children's knowledge and attitudes toward wounds. A quasi-experimental study using a pretest-posttest control group design with a total sampling technique involving 152 students from Baktijaya 05 Elementary School, Depok. A questionnaire was used to assess knowledge and attitudes toward wound care, along with a Short Education Movie (SEM) media. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed-Level Test. There was a significant difference between the pre- and post-intervention knowledge scores, indicating that the intervention successfully improved respondents' knowledge (p=0.0001). There is a significant difference between the before and after Attitude intervention, indicating that the intervention successfully improved Attitude (p=0.0001). Health education using the demonstration method, combined with the Short Education Movie (SEM), significantly improved knowledge and attitudes toward minor wound care among school-age children.
