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

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is an infection that attacks the body's immune system, especially white blood cells called CD4 cells. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) targets the immune system and weakens people's defenses against many infections and some types of cancer. The article was searched through several online databases, including PubMed, ProQuest, Scient Direct, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. A total of 8871 articles were obtained that matched the keywords; 259 articles were free of duplication, and 54 full-text articles. Eligibility was carried out to determine articles that met the inclusion criteria, and 10 articles that met the criteria for the age range of respondents were found, with the article being 10-24 years old. The study design used a prospective study and a retrospective study. The total sample was 1,793 HIV-AIDS sufferers. The main result of MBSR is that it can help improve immunity in HIV-infected people. Stress reduction can buffer CD4+ and T lymphocyte decline in diverse community samples of HIV-infected individuals. Mindfulness's positive impact on outcomes is meaningful and important, including improved emotional coping and regulation, increased life satisfaction, decreased aggression, and decreased disease activity.

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.

Abstract

Communication is a determinant of success in achieving goals. Every nurse must have skills in communicating with patients to build good relationships. This is very important to determine patient satisfaction and improve the quality of patient service. This research uses the cross-sectional study method. The population was 283 people, with 166 samples collected using the Slovin formula using an accidental sampling technique with two variables: effective communication and patient satisfaction. The data collection instrument in this research was a questionnaire (using a checklist). Then, the data was analyzed using the Spearman rank test. The results obtained were 155 people (93.37%) effective communication and 11 (6.62%) ineffective communication. One hundred sixty-two patients (97.53%) were satisfied, and four people were dissatisfied (2.47%), and the results were at a significant level p=0.000. A strong positive correlation was found between effective communication and patient satisfaction, meaning improved communication leads to higher patient satisfaction. Effective communication ensures that patients feel valued and comfortable, ultimately contributing to better healthcare experiences and outcomes.

Abstract

The importance of adequate nutrition for children in supporting optimal growth and development and the role of health education in influencing parental behavior regarding this matter is well recognized. This study aims to evaluate the impact of health education using the Emo-Demo method on parental behavior in fulfilling children's nutritional needs at Posyandu Kenari, Lumajang Regency. The method used in this study is a pre-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test one-group design approach. The population and sample comprised 35 parent respondents who participated in the research. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that most respondents, 19 individuals (54.3%), exhibited poor behavior in fulfilling their children's nutritional needs before the intervention. After receiving health education using the Emo-Demo method, parental behavior improved significantly, with 25 individuals (71.4%) displaying good behavior. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant effect of the health education intervention on changing parents' behavior. These findings highlight the importance of interactive and sustained health education approaches to support behavioral changes in a public health context. Therefore, structured health education programs using innovative methods like Emo-Demo can be more widely implemented to improve overall child health.

Abstract

Asthma is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, accounting for 17.4% of deaths worldwide.  As one of the top 10 non-communicable diseases, asthma significantly impacts patients and their families.  Characterized by recurrent and reversible airway obstruction, asthma often leads to ineffective breathing patterns.  This study explored the impact of pursed-lip breathing (PLB) therapy on reducing respiratory rate in asthma patients with ineffective breathing patterns at Dr. Haryoto Hospital, Lumajang.  A case study design was employed from June 14 to June 18, 2024, involving a single asthma patient who met the criteria of dyspnea, abnormal breathing patterns, and the use of accessory respiratory muscles.  Data collection included objective and subjective measurements using observation sheets, physical examination tools, and standard operational procedures.  PLB therapy was administered over five days, with three daily sessions, each lasting 5 to 15 minutes.  The patient, presenting with symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, prolonged expiratory phase, and abnormal breathing patterns, showed significant improvements following PLB therapy.  Results indicated a reduction in respiratory rate by 6.76 breaths per minute, an increase in SpO2 by 3.44%, and a decrease in pulse rate by 51.62 beats per minute.  PLB therapy effectively reduced respiratory effort, alleviated dyspnea, enhanced oxygen transport, and strengthened respiratory muscles.  This study demonstrates that PLB therapy is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for managing asthma symptoms.  Nurses are encouraged to incorporate PLB therapy into patient education to empower asthma patients to manage their symptoms independently.
