<![CDATA[Pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy can interfere with a patient’s comfort and recovery process. Complementary therapies can be used to supplement pharmacological therapy in pain management. This case report aimed to describe the application of a combination of slow deep breathing and healing touch in a patient following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This case report employs a single-case study design involving a 46-year-old male diagnosed with cholelithiasis following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The intervention, consisting of a combination of slow deep breathing and healing touch, was administered for three consecutive days, three times daily. Pain levels were measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. The participant’s initial pain score was in the NRS range of 7–8. After three days of intervention, the pain score gradually decreased to an NRS of 1. Participants also reported improvements in comfort, sleep quality, and mobility. The application of the combination of slow deep breathing and healing touch in this case was followed by a reduction in pain intensity and an increase in comfort during the recovery period. This intervention has the potential to serve as a complementary therapy in holistic nursing practice.]]>

<![CDATA[Stunting remained a major public health problem in Indonesia, requiring accurate growth monitoring at integrated health service posts (Posyandu). Posyandu cadres played a vital role in performing anthropometric measurements to determine children’s nutritional status; however, measurement accuracy was often affected by limited technical competence. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and skills of Posyandu cadres in using standardized anthropometric tools in Gorontalo Regency. A mixed methods study was conducted using focus group discussions and a cross-sectional design. A total of 56 cadres were selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, observation checklists, and comparison with gold standard measurements. The results showed that 71% of cadres had good knowledge, but only 27% demonstrated adequate skills, and 21% correctly followed standard measurement procedures. The mean differences between cadre measurements and the gold standard were +0.03 kg for body weight and −0.21 cm for height/length. Limited training and lack of calibrated equipment were identified as key barriers. Improving regular training and ensuring the availability of standardized tools are essential to enhance measurement accuracy and support effective stunting prevention programs in primary healthcare settings.]]>

<![CDATA[Infants born with non-optimal birth weight, either low or excessive, are at risk of experiencing growth and developmental disorders as well as long-term health problems. Maternal triglyceride levels during the third trimester play a role in lipid metabolism and are presumed to influence fetal growth. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between third-trimester maternal triglyceride levels and infant birth weight. This study employed a prospective cohort design involving 30 third-trimester pregnant women selected through consecutive sampling at an independent midwifery practice in Palembang. The study variables included maternal triglyceride levels and infant birth weight, measured using laboratory examination with the GDO-PAP method and a digital infant scale. Data were analyzed descriptively and using Pearson correlation test after logarithmic transformation of triglyceride data. The results showed that the median maternal triglyceride level was 358.3 mg/dL, while the mean infant birth weight was 3031.8 g. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated no significant relationship between third-trimester triglyceride levels and infant birth weight (r = −0.079; p = 0.676). Third-trimester maternal triglyceride levels were not significantly associated with infant birth weight. The findings indicate that maternal triglyceride levels during the third trimester were not a determining factor of infant birth weight in this study sample.]]>

<![CDATA[Elderly people in social care often experience limited interaction, leading to loneliness, social isolation, and stress, while previous studies generally only tested one type of therapy. This quasi-experimental study aimed to test the effectiveness of a combination of gardening and creative therapy in reducing stress levels in the elderly using a purposive sampling technique. The intervention was conducted over two days in April 2026, with data collected through the GDS-15 questionnaire the day before and after the activity, then analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant effect on reducing stress levels in the elderly after the intervention (significance value .0001 < 0.05), so Ha was accepted. This combination of therapies has been proven to foster a sense of responsibility and happiness that effectively divert feelings of low self-esteem, loneliness, and boredom; therefore, future researchers are expected to combine this action with other, more relevant therapies.]]>

<![CDATA[Palliative care aims to alleviate the suffering of patients with serious, complex, and terminal illnesses. However, the availability of palliative care services in Indonesia is still limited, and healthcare professionals' understanding is unequal. Although most healthcare professionals demonstrate positive attitudes toward palliative care, gaps in understanding remain that can impact the quality of care provided to terminally ill patients. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between healthcare professionals' perceptions and their attitudes toward providing palliative care to terminally ill patients at Dr. M. Thomsen Regional General Hospital, Nias. The study used a quantitative approach with an observational analytical design and cross-sectional methods. Data were analyzed using a correlation test to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results showed a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.438 with a significance value (p) of 0.001. This indicates a positive and significant relationship between healthcare professionals' perceptions and their attitudes toward providing palliative care. It was concluded that better perceptions are associated with more positive attitudes toward providing palliative care. Therefore, strengthening palliative care education and training is needed to improve healthcare professionals' competence in providing care to terminally ill patients.]]>

<![CDATA[The professionalism of nurses was reflected from how nurses communicate with each other. One form of communication carried out by nurses is the nursing conference. This aimed to discuss the patient's condition, which can produce effective strategies and hone critical thinking skills to plan activities in subsequent nursing services for sustainability. In reality, the implementation of nursing conferences is not carried out well. This was due to a lack of direction, lack of nurse knowledge and high workload. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between factors affecting nursing conferences in providing nursing care. The research method used a descriptive correlation with cross-sectional approach. 102 nurses were sampled. Data analysis used the chi-square test. The results obtained were a relationship between nurses' knowledge (p-value < 0.001) and directing function (p-value < 0.001) with obstacles to the implementation nursing conferences. There was no relationship between nurses' workload and obstacles to the implementation of pre- and post-nursing conferences (p-value = 0.185). It can be concluded that there is a relationship between nurses' knowledge and directive function and barriers to implementing nursing conferences. There is no relationship between nurses' workload and barriers to implementing nursing conferences.]]>

<![CDATA[Remaja rentan mengalami gangguan tidur akibat kebiasaan tidur yang buruk, seperti penggunaan gawai sebelum tidur dan waktu tidur yang tidak teratur, sehingga memengaruhi kestabilan emosi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan higiene tidur dengan kecerdasan emosional pada siswa SMPN 1 Jatinangor, menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif survei potong lintang dengan jumlah siswa 276 orang yang dipilih melalui cluster random sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Indeks Higiene Tidur dan Skala Kecerdasan Emosional Wong and Law versi Bahasa Indonesia, dianalisis dengan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar siswa memiliki higiene tidur yang buruk 51,8 persen dan kecerdasan emosional yang tinggi 54,7 persen dan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara keduanya. Simpulannya, kebiasaan tidur yang buruk tidak selalu memengaruhi kecerdasan emosional secara langsung karena dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain seperti dukungan sosial, tekanan akademis, dan lingkungan keluarga. Disarankan kepada siswa, sekolah, dan orang tua untuk meningkatkan kesadaran akan pentingnya pola tidur yang sehat dan mengelola emosi melalui edukasi dan kebiasaan positif di sekolah dan rumah.]]>

<![CDATA[Children with intellectual disabilities possess below-average intelligence, which impacts their growth and ability to perform personal hygiene independently. The family is the primary environment that shapes a child's independence. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family knowledge and support and personal hygiene independence among children with intellectual disabilities in Bogor City. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, involving 73 subjects through total sampling at State Special Schools in Bogor City between December 2024 and February 2025. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using univariate distribution and the chi-square test (with Fisher's Exact Test as an alternative when assumptions were violated). The majority of parents had insufficient knowledge and the majority of children were in the dependent category. Among the four dimensions of family support examined, only emotional support showed a statistically meaningful association with the child's personal hygiene independence. It was concluded that, among the variables studied, emotional support from the family is the dominant factor associated with personal hygiene independence in children with intellectual disabilities. It is recommended that families strengthen emotional support, in the form of affection, encouragement, and consistent training at home, to foster personal hygiene independence in children with intellectual disabilities.]]>
