<![CDATA[Injection procedures are a primary source of pain and fear in children that can lead to psychological trauma and hinder compliance with future medical care. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality distraction techniques in reducing pain and fear levels in children during injection procedures at Jakarta Islamic Hospital Cempaka Putih. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest approach involving 36 child respondents aged 3-12 years undergoing repeated injection procedures. Pain measurement used the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and fear used the Children's Fear Scale, with data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results showed significant reductions in pain and fear levels after virtual reality intervention, with significance values of 0.000 for all variables. Children's assessment showed no pain increased from 16.7% to 52.8%, while no fear increased from 2.8% to 72.2%. Researcher assessments also showed consistent reduction patterns. This study concludes that virtual reality is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention to reduce pain and fear in children during injection procedures, thus can be integrated into pediatric pain management protocols in healthcare facilities.]]>

<![CDATA[Caesarean section (CS) with spinal anesthesia often causes paralytic ileus due to intestinal peristalsis inhibition, which slows patient recovery. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of early mobilization on intestinal peristalsis frequency in post-CS patients at Cilacap Regional General Hospital. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group, the population was post-CS patients with spinal anesthesia in the Mawar Room (December 2025), a sample of 44 respondents via purposive sampling (Slovin formula, e=5%). Instruments included observation sheets, stethoscopes, and informed consent; data analysis used Shapiro-Wilk, Wilcoxon Signed Rank, and Mann-Whitney. The results showed a significant increase: 4 hours post-CS from 3.66 to 4.59 times/minute (p<0.001, Z=-4.667); 6 hours from 7.09 to 8.48 times/minute (p<0.001, Z=-5.756), with superiority at 6 hours (p=0.000). It was concluded that early mobilization was effective in accelerating the recovery of intestinal peristalsis, especially at 6 hours post-operatively.]]>

<![CDATA[Community participation in household waste management is a crucial component in maintaining environmental quality and supporting sustainable waste management. This study aims to analyze the level of community participation and examine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, education, availability of facilities, and the role of community leaders based on Lawrence Green’s theory in Kenali Besar Subdistrict, Jambi City. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design involving 96 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that most respondents had a high level of participation. Significant relationships were found between knowledge (p=0.001), attitudes (p=0.001), education (p=0.001), and availability of facilities (p=0.001) with community participation. However, the role of community leaders was not significantly associated (p=0.406). In conclusion, community participation is influenced by knowledge, attitudes, education, and the availability of facilities. Therefore, efforts to improve participation should focus on continuous education, provision of adequate facilities, and active community involvement.]]>

<![CDATA[Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) places a significant economic burden on Indonesia, necessitating the selection of cost-effective pharmacological therapies. Metformin has long been recommended as first-line therapy, but evidence of its cost-effectiveness across Indonesian hospitals remains fragmented and methodologically diverse. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and synthesize evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of metformin use in T2DM patients in Indonesian hospitals. The study used a systematic literature review design based on the PRISMA framework. Articles published since 2020 and obtained from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Publish or Perish were assessed using the PICO criteria (Population: T2DM patients in hospital; Intervention: metformin; other antidiabetic therapies; Outcome: cost-effectiveness). In total, six national studies were selected, covering both inpatient and outpatient settings. Data were extracted descriptively, while cost-effectiveness results (primarily the Average Cost-Effectiveness Ratio/ACER) were analyzed narratively. Across all reviewed studies, metformin consistently demonstrated lower ACER values than comparator therapies (e.g., glibenclamide, glimepiride, gliquidone, and acarbose-based combinations), suggesting better cost-efficiency with equivalent or higher clinical effectiveness. Conclusion: Metformin is a cost-effective first-line therapy for T2DM patients in Indonesian hospitals, making it worthy of being maintained as the primary choice in clinical practice and hospital formularies.]]>

<![CDATA[National Health Insurance (JKN) claims management in Indonesian hospitals still faces various obstacles, such as high pending claims, incomplete medical records, diagnostic and treatment coding errors, limited human resource (HR) competency, and suboptimal integration of the Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS) with the BPJS Kesehatan application. These conditions result in delays in claim disbursement, cash flow disruptions, and the risk of declining service quality. This literature review aims to identify the main factors causing delayed claims and summarize effective JKN claim optimization strategies in Indonesian hospitals. Methods: A literature search was conducted on Google Scholar, Garuda, and DOAJ databases for articles published in 2022–2025 with keywords related to JKN/BPJS claims, INA-CBGs, pending claims, claims management, and SIMRS. Articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed narratively and synthesized based on a management framework (HR, procedures, information technology, and finance). Strategies consistently recommended in the literature include strengthening the competency of coders and internal verifiers through ongoing training, standardizing claims SOPs and strengthening quality control and cost control, optimizing SIMRS–BPJS integration (end-to-end bridging) to ensure the completeness and accuracy of claim files, and strengthening coordination across units and with BPJS Kesehatan.Strategic management approaches (e.g., 4M/5M, POAC, TQM) have been shown to contribute to a reduction in pending claims and accelerated claim disbursement. Optimizing JKN claims requires integrated interventions across human resources, procedures, information technology, and financial governance. Hospitals are advised to adopt a structured strategic management model, establish claims management performance indicators, and accelerate information system integration to improve the timeliness and quality of claims.]]>

<![CDATA[Iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women is a serious health problem in Indonesia with a prevalence of 27.7%, mainly due to low compliance with iron supplement consumption despite the implementation of the Iron Supplement Tablet (TTD) program. This study aims to analyze the relationship between compliance with iron supplement consumption and hemoglobin (Hb) levels in pregnant women at the Bangko Jaya Community Health Center, Rokan Hilir Regency. Using a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design, a population of 85 pregnant women in the second and third trimesters was taken by total sampling. Instruments in the form of a compliance questionnaire and Hb data from medical records were analyzed univariately (frequency) and bivariately (Chi-Square). The results showed that 69.4% of respondents were compliant with supplement consumption, 68.2% were not anemic, with a significant relationship (p=0.00; OR=0.17, 95% CI: 0.02-1.18). It was concluded that compliance with iron supplement consumption was significantly associated with Hb levels in pregnant women, recommending strengthening ANC counseling.]]>

<![CDATA[Dementia increases with age, especially in the elderly population. Dementia is a clinical syndrome with progressive decline in cognitive function that interferes with independence and daily activities. Dementia can also cause serious complications, such as a decline in quality of life and health problems that are often the leading causes of mortality. To determine the effect of fishing ball therapy and puzzle therapy on cognitive function in elderly people with dementia at Club Bugar Ideal, Bojonggede District. This study was a quantitative study using a quasi-experimental approach with one equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Data collection was conducted using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Shapiro-Wilk test using Jamovi 2.6.26 software. The average age of respondents was over 60 years old. In terms of gender, the majority were female, with 27 respondents (69.2%). In terms of education, the majority had only completed elementary school, with 17 respondents (43.6%). In terms of employment, the majority were unemployed, with 29 respondents (74.4%). In terms of medical history, the majority had a history of illness, with 23 respondents (59%). Based on the results of the group A fishing ball p value (0.181) > 0.05 and group B Puzzle p value (0.095) > 0.05, meaning that there was no effect of therapy in either the fishing ball or puzzle groups on the cognitive function of the elderly before and after therapy, whereas there was an effect of therapy in group C (fishing ball and puzzle) on the cognitive function of the elderly before and after therapy. The results of the difference test showed no significant differences between the therapy groups, namely fishing ball therapy (A), puzzle therapy (B), and a combination of fishing ball and puzzle therapy (C). The p-values for the comparisons between groups were (A–B p=0.594; A–C p=0.440; B–C p=0.804). Non-pharmacological therapy, namely a combination of fishing ball and puzzle therapy, can improve cognitive function in elderly people with dementia.]]>

<![CDATA[Stunting is a persistent dietary problem that affects physical growth and cognitive development in children. One significant risk factor is anemia during pregnancy. In Sumbermulyo Village, a high prevalence of stunting was recorded, with many mothers having a history of anemia in pregnancy. This research seeks to examine the correlation between pregnancy history anemia (second trimester) and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in Sumbermulyo Village, Jogoroto, Jombang. This quantitative study uses a correlational design with a retrospective approach. The study population consists of 30 mothers with stunted toddlers, selected using a total sampling method. Secondary data were obtained from maternal hemoglobin (Hb) history records and toddler height measurements. Data analysis was conducted with the Spearman Rank statistical test. The findings of this research indicate that a majority of mothers (63.3%) had anemia during the second trimester. The correlation test findings indicate a significant value of p = 0.011 (p < 0.05) and a correlation coefficient of -0.459. This signifies a substantial association of moderate intensity and negative correlation between a history of anemia during pregnancy and the incidence of stunting. It may be argued that decreased maternal hemoglobin levels during pregnancy correlate with an elevated risk of childhood stunting. Interventions to prevent anemia in pregnant women are essential as a main approach to reduce stunting rates.]]>
