Abstract

Bullying is a common issue in school environments and can have severe negative impacts on students' mental, social, and academic well-being. This study examined the Relationship between Knowledge and Attitude with the Dangers of Bullying in High School Students. A quantitative cross-sectional approach was used, involving 60 eleventh-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires distributed before and after the health education intervention and analyzed using univariate and bivariate tests. The univariate results showed that most respondents had high levels of bullying behavior (71.7%), low knowledge (68.3%), and negative attitudes (51.7%). After the intervention, improvements were observed in both knowledge and attitudes. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge and bullying (p = 0.017) and between attitude and bullying (p = 0.033). Health education proved effective as a promotive and preventive strategy for fostering positive behavior and empathy among adolescents. Therefore, schools should integrate health education into student development programs to create a safe and violence-free learning environment. This study contributes to bullying prevention through a structured, evidence-based educational approach.

Abstract

The increase in pneumonia cases directly impacts the burden of health services, marked by a surge in the number of visits to service facilities, an increase in hospitalization rates, and high pressure on medical personnel in health centers and hospitals. This study analyzes the policy strategy for controlling pneumonia in Central Kalimantan. This study uses qualitative research with a descriptive phenomenological approach that emphasizes the health policy strategy for controlling pneumonia in Central Kalimantan to gain a deep understanding of the stakeholders' implementation. Based on the study's results, although the National Action Plan for controlling pneumonia focuses on toddlers, in Central Kalimantan, most cases of pneumonia are found in the pre-elderly age group (45-59 years), indicating a mismatch between national policies and local conditions. Environmental factors, air pollution, and comorbid conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and diabetes, may not have been sufficiently considered in the policy. In Central Kalimantan, poor air quality due to forest fires and extreme climate change worsens health, especially in the pre-elderly age group. Therefore, the pneumonia control strategy in this area needs to be adjusted to local epidemiological conditions, environmental and social risk factors, socio-economic conditions, adjustments to prevention and treatment strategies, and collaboration between sectors, including focusing on adult, pre-elderly, and elderly age groups, not just toddlers.

Abstract

Stunting remains a serious challenge in Indonesia, particularly during the third trimester of pregnancy, a critical period for fetal growth. This study aims to analyze the application of a caring approach to families with pregnant women in their third trimester to improve Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) as an effort to prevent stunting in Sebangau District. The study was conducted over six months in 2025 using qualitative and quantitative descriptive approaches. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and questionnaires distributed to pregnant women and family members. Samples were taken purposively, involving intervention and control groups in six urban villages. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive methods and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify the main components influencing the effectiveness of the caring approach to CHLB and the risk of stunting. The results show that the application of caring dimensions such as emotional, social, and empowerment support has a positive effect on improving CHLB in pregnant women. The dominant influencing factors are family empathy, communication with health workers, and access to sanitation facilities. In conclusion, a caring approach in families can improve CHLB in pregnant women and has significant potential in preventing stunting during pregnancy. The recommendation of this research is the need for integration of caring approaches in public health promotive and preventive programs, as well as the development of caring-based family intervention models that can be implemented at local and national levels.

Abstract

Patient safety is a critical component of healthcare quality. Surgical procedures pose significant risks, with frequent incidents such as wrong-site surgeries and retained surgical instruments. To mitigate these risks, the Fourth Patient Safety Goals emphasize the correct site, correct procedure, and correct surgical patient. Nurses, who are involved in every stage of surgical care, play a vital role in ensuring of the correct site, procedure, and surgical patient. The objective of this research is to analyze and identify the role of nurses in implementing the Fourth Patient Safety Goal, specifically in ensuring the correct site, procedure, and patient in surgical settings. This study employed a literature review method using databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. A total of 11 articles published between 2024 and 2025 were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria based on the PICO(S) approach. Article quality was assessed using JBI Appraisal Tools. The findings show that nurses contribute significantly to all three phases of the Surgical Safety Checklist (sign in, time out, sign out). Their roles include verifying surgical information, ensuring team communication, providing emotional support for patients, coordinating interdisciplinary collaboration, and integrating technology-based tools. Barriers identified include lack of training, incomplete documentation, and limited compliance with protocols. Nurses play a central role in ensuring the correct site, procedure, and surgical patient. Strengthening their competence, fostering interprofessional collaboration, and applying technological innovations are essential strategies to enhance patient safety in surgical settings.

Abstract

Patient knowledge and satisfaction are important factors influencing interest in using healthcare services, including online reservation systems. Optimal use of information technology and appropriate patient education can improve the hospital service experience. This study aims to determine the influence of patient knowledge and satisfaction on their interest in using the online reservation system at the Outpatient Unit of Jember Clinic Hospital. This study used an analytical approach with a descriptive cross-sectional design. A sample of 100 respondents was determined using the purposive sampling technique based on the Slovin formula. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression using SPSS for Windows software. The analysis showed that patient knowledge positively and significantly affected interest in using online reservations (t-count 5.623). Patient satisfaction also positively and significantly influences this interest (t-count 3.273). Patient knowledge and satisfaction have been shown to drive interest in using online reservation systems significantly. Therefore, it is recommended that hospitals develop educational programs and improve the quality of online reservation services to increase patient interest.

Abstract

Patient satisfaction is a critical indicator of healthcare service quality and a key determinant of a hospital's performance and reputation. This study analyzed the factors influencing inpatient satisfaction at Sultan Imanuddin Hospital, a regional referral hospital in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, focusing on three independent variables: facilities, patient admission procedures, and nurse communication. A quantitative research design was employed using a multiple linear regression analysis on data collected from 368 inpatients through a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25, incorporating validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing. The results revealed that facilities (β = 0.917, p = 0.000) and nurse communication (β = 0.382, p = 0.000) have a statistically significant positive effect on patient satisfaction. In contrast, patient admission procedures showed no significant influence (β = 0.004, p = 0.781). The Adjusted R-Square value of 0.979 indicates that the model can explain 97.9% of the variation in patient satisfaction, demonstrating a very high explanatory power. These findings suggest that physical infrastructure and interpersonal care are the most critical drivers of patient satisfaction in this setting. Therefore, hospital management should prioritize continuous improvement of facilities and invest in training programs to enhance nurses' communication skills. Although administrative procedures are essential, their impact on satisfaction is minimal, highlighting the need for a patient-centered approach emphasizing comfort, empathy, and effective interaction. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence on healthcare quality in public hospitals in Indonesia. It provides actionable insights for policymakers and healthcare managers aiming to improve service delivery and patient outcomes.

Abstract

Pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester, is commonly associated with lower-limb edema due to increased pressure on the pelvic veins and inferior vena cava from the enlarging uterus. Foot edema in late pregnancy results from this venous compression, leading to elevated hydrostatic pressure and fluid accumulation in the interstitial spaces of the feet and ankles. Management of foot edema can be performed non-pharmacologically, one approach being a combination of foot massage and leg elevation. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the combination of foot massage and leg elevation on foot edema in third-trimester pregnant women. This research employed a quasi-experimental study design with a two-group pretest-posttest design and a control group. The sample was 30 respondents. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The instruments used were the SOP and the pitting scale observation sheet. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a p-value < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant reduction in foot edema before and after the intervention. Additionally, the Mann-Whitney test yielded a p-value of 0.003, confirming a statistically significant difference in posttest results between the intervention and control groups. The combination of foot massage and leg elevation significantly reduced foot edema in pregnant women in the third trimester. Clinically, this combination can be applied as a simple and effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce physiological foot edema during pregnancy.

Abstract

Hebephrenic schizophrenia presents with symptoms such as disorganized thinking, emotional disturbances, and behavioral issues that often lead to social isolation. Clients experiencing social isolation demonstrate impaired interpersonal relationships and a tendency to withdraw from social settings. Acquaintance therapy is a psychiatric nursing intervention conducted gradually to enhance the client's social interaction capabilities. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of acquaintance therapy in improving interaction skills in a client with social isolation at Garuda Ward, Radjiman Wediodiningrat Hospital, Lawang, Malang. Using a case study design, this research involved a 30-year-old male client diagnosed with hebephrenic schizophrenia and social isolation. The intervention was conducted over six consecutive days, lasting 15 to 30 minutes each. Data collection included observation, interviews, and nursing documentation. The study revealed a significant improvement in the client interaction skills after the intervention, with symptoms of social isolation reducing from 13 to 2. The client could introduce himself, converse with others, and participate in group activities. These findings indicate that acquaintance therapy is effective in enhancing social interaction in clients with social isolation and can be considered a recommended non-pharmacological approach in psychiatric nursing practice.

Abstract

School-age children are susceptible to disease and need health supervision. Children who are sick have a high dependence on others in terms of self-care. Children who are sick and unable to fulfill their self-care will experience self-care deficit problems. One component of personal hygiene often forgotten when self-care during illness oral hygiene is. This study aims to determine how health education using animated video media on oral hygiene can improve family and patient knowledge of self-care, especially oral hygiene. This research is a descriptive, quantitative study that uses a case study approach. The research design was a one-group pre-test-post-test design, in which a knowledge questionnaire was administered before and after health education. There are differences in knowledge scores before and after health education is provided to both families and patients, with increased knowledge of oral hygiene. Evaluation of oral hygiene using the OHI-S score shows a decrease in score, indicating improvement from poor to moderate, and is performed 4 times every 24 hours until discharge. Providing oral hygiene education can increase parents' and patients' knowledge and interest in self-care.
