Abstract

Inadequate breast milk production remains a common challenge among postpartum mothers, often associated with hormonal imbalance, maternal fatigue, and insufficient breast stimulation, which can hinder the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding targets. Despite global recommendations, exclusive breastfeeding rates remain suboptimal, highlighting the need for effective, non-pharmacological interventions. Lactation massage has been proposed as a technique to stimulate oxytocin release and improve the milk ejection reflex. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lactation massage on breast milk production among postpartum mothers. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design was conducted involving 20 postpartum mothers selected through purposive sampling. Participants were equally assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received lactation massage for three consecutive days, while the control group received standard postpartum care. Breast milk production was measured by expressed milk volume using a breast pump for 10–15 minutes at 08:00 a.m. daily. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests with a significance level set at p < 0.05. The intervention group demonstrated a significant increase in mean breast milk production, from 45.2 mL at baseline to 77.6 mL post-intervention, with a mean difference of 32.4 mL (p < 0.001). In contrast, the control group showed no statistically significant change (p = 0.214). Between-group analysis revealed a significant difference in posttest milk production (p < 0.001). Lactation massage significantly enhances breast milk production in postpartum mothers. This simple, non-invasive intervention may be integrated into routine postpartum care to support optimal breastfeeding outcomes.

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

Infancy represents a critical period for growth and neurodevelopment, during which appropriate stimulation is essential to optimize developmental outcomes. Baby swimming has been proposed as an early stimulation intervention that may promote motor development through structured movement in a warm-water environment. This study aimed to examine the effect of baby swimming on gross motor development in infants aged 3–9 months. A quantitative study was conducted using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 15 infants aged 3–9 months recruited from Yuki Mom and Baby Spa, Probolinggo City, Indonesia, using purposive sampling. The intervention involved baby swimming sessions in a warm pool (38–40°C) using a baby float for 10–15 minutes. Gross motor development was assessed before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed a statistically significant improvement in gross motor development following the intervention (p = 0.02). These findings suggest that baby swimming may have a positive effect on gross motor development in early infancy. Baby swimming can be considered a potential non-pharmacological intervention to support gross motor development in infants. However, further studies with larger sample sizes and controlled designs are recommended to strengthen the evidence.

Abstract

Hypertension is a prevalent health concern among older adults and is strongly associated with increased Body Mass Index (BMI). Excess body weight contributes to elevated blood pressure through physiological mechanisms, including increased peripheral vascular resistance and heightened sympathetic nervous system activity. This study aimed to examine the association between BMI and hypertension prevalence among older adults. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 60 older adults selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using standardized procedures, including measurements of body weight, height, and blood pressure. BMI was categorized according to standard criteria. The association between BMI and hypertension was analyzed using Fisher's Exact Test, with α = 0.05. The prevalence of hypertension among participants was 58.3%. Higher proportions of hypertension were observed in overweight (68.2%) and obese (80.0%) individuals compared to those with normal BMI. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between BMI and hypertension (p = 0.012). BMI is significantly associated with hypertension among older adults. These findings highlight the importance of weight management through nutritional education, physical activity promotion, and routine blood pressure monitoring as part of comprehensive elderly healthcare services.

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.

Abstract

Back pain is one of the most common discomforts experienced by pregnant women in the third trimester. Back pain can occur due to pressure on the back muscles or shifting of the spine, which puts pressure on joints. Back pain in pregnant women often arises from pressure on the back muscles or spinal shifts, leading to joint compression. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of prenatal exercise in alleviating back pain among third-trimester pregnant women. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest, was employed. The population included all third-trimester pregnant women visiting PMB Safara Kedawung Kulon, totaling 35 individuals, who were sampled using a total sampling technique. Pain assessment was conducted using the standardized Face Pain Scale-Revised questionnaire, which did not require additional validity testing. Data were analyzed univariately through frequency percentages and bivariately using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results indicated that all respondents experienced back pain. During the pretest, the highest level of reported pain was more severe, experienced by 13 respondents (37.1%). Following the prenatal exercise intervention, the posttest showed that 18 respondents (51.4%) reported mild pain. Wilcoxon statistical testing yielded an Asymp. Sig. 0.001, demonstrating a significant difference between pretest and posttest results. Consequently, it was concluded that prenatal exercise has a significant effect on back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester. These findings advocate for the systematic integration of evidence-based exercise protocols into standard maternal healthcare practices, empowering midwives to offer safe, cost-effective pain management strategies that enhance maternal comfort and well-being during late pregnancy.

Abstract

Periodontitis is an advanced, destructive periodontal disease characterized by periodontal pocket formation and progressive loss of supporting tissues. Initial periodontal therapy typically involves nonsurgical approaches; however, surgical intervention may be required when clinical improvement is insufficient. This case report describes the comprehensive management of localized periodontitis stage II grade A associated with an operculum on the lower right third molar. A 35-year-old female patient presented with complaints of dental calculus on the lower anterior teeth and gingival tissue covering the lower right posterior tooth. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed subgingival calculus, periodontal pockets measuring 3–4.5 mm, and horizontal bone resorption involving approximately one-third of the root length. Radiographic assessment also showed that the cusp of tooth 48 was positioned parallel to the occlusal line and the occlusal plane of the adjacent tooth. Initial periodontal therapy included supragingival and subgingival scaling and root planing. Operculectomy was subsequently performed on tooth 48 to remove the gingival tissue covering the crown and improve access for oral hygiene. Curettage was performed on teeth 41 and 42 to remove residual inflammatory tissue. Periodic evaluation demonstrated a reduction in gingival inflammation, with notable improvements in gingival color, consistency, and texture following curettage. Comprehensive periodontal management combining nonsurgical therapy with targeted surgical procedures such as curettage and operculectomy can effectively control inflammation and improve periodontal health. Operculectomy is particularly beneficial in cases where an operculum impedes proper cleaning of the third molar region, thereby helping to prevent recurrent inflammation and facilitate optimal periodontal maintenance.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases patients’ susceptibility to various oral complications, including dental caries, periodontal disease, xerostomia, and oral candidiasis. This study aimed to examine the influence of demographic, clinical, behavioral, and oral health knowledge factors on the occurrence of oral complications among patients with DM, and to assess the potential mediating role of the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S). An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 90 patients with DM selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis included Chi-square tests to assess bivariate associations (X→Y), Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression to evaluate the effects of independent variables on OHI-S scores (X→M), multivariate logistic regression to examine the association between OHI-S and oral complications (M→Y), and mediation analysis using OLS regression pathways. Most participants presented with moderate oral complications (54.44%), followed by mild (26.67%) and severe (18.89%) categories. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between oral health knowledge (χ² = 43.445; p < 0.001) and type of DM (χ² = 7.282; p = 0.026) with oral complications. OLS regression demonstrated that only oral health knowledge significantly influenced OHI-S scores (β = −0.392; p < 0.001). However, multivariate logistic regression indicated that OHI-S was not a significant predictor of oral complications (β = 0.0139; p = 0.957; OR = 1.014; 95% CI: 0.61–1.68). Furthermore, mediation analysis showed no significant indirect effects (all p > 0.95), indicating that OHI-S did not mediate the relationship between the studied determinants and oral complications. Oral complications among patients with DM in primary healthcare settings are multifactorial. While oral health knowledge and DM type were significant determinants at the bivariate level, OHI-S did not function as a significant predictor or mediator in the multivariate model.

Abstract

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is critical for enhancing organizational effectiveness in healthcare settings, yet suboptimal levels persist in many hospitals. This study examined the influence of organizational commitment, work motivation, and job satisfaction on OCB among employees at RS Mata Undaan Surabaya, Indonesia, a specialized ophthalmology referral hospital. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 200 randomly selected employees through structured questionnaires. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to assess both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on OCB. Descriptive analysis revealed that organizational commitment, work motivation, job satisfaction, and OCB were all at good levels. Regression results indicated that organizational commitment (β = 0.274, p < 0.001), work motivation (β = 0.273, p < 0.001), and job satisfaction (β = 0.189, p = 0.001) each exerted a positive and significant partial effect on OCB. Simultaneously, these three variables significantly predicted OCB (F = 64.997, p < 0.001), explaining 49.1% of the variance (Adjusted R² = 0.491). These findings indicate that OCB emerges from the synergistic interaction of positive work attitudes. Hospital management should implement integrated human resource strategies that simultaneously strengthen organizational commitment, enhance work motivation, and improve job satisfaction, thereby fostering voluntary employee behaviors that ultimately improve service quality and organizational performance in specialized healthcare settings.
