<![CDATA[Tuberculosis remains a significant public health problem, particularly among adolescents with varying levels of health literacy. This study aimed to improve the school community's knowledge about early tuberculosis detection at Fransisco Borja Da Costa Fatuberliu State High School, Manufahi Regency. This study used a community service design with a school-based health education approach. The population was all students at the school, while the sample was selected purposively based on participation criteria. The research instruments included pretest and posttest sheets, educational materials, and participant observation. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing the results before and after the intervention. The results showed an increase in student knowledge after the health education was provided, accompanied by good participation during the session. It was concluded that the school-based health promotion strategy was effective in improving student knowledge about early tuberculosis detection and can be used as a preventive approach in the school environment.]]>

<![CDATA[Workplace accidents remain a major occupational safety issue across various industries, and low compliance with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use continues to increase injury risk. This literature review aimed to analyze the relationship between PPE compliance and workplace accident risk. The study used a qualitative literature review approach by reviewing five quantitative empirical studies published between 2022 and 2025. The findings consistently showed that proper and consistent PPE use was associated with lower workplace accident and injury risk. Knowledge, attitude, and safe work behavior were also identified as important factors influencing PPE compliance. Several studies further showed that incomplete PPE availability, weak supervision, and poor enforcement of safety procedures reduced compliance and increased accident risk. In conclusion, PPE compliance is an important protective factor in improving workplace safety. Therefore, workplace accident prevention should focus not only on PPE provision, but also on strengthening worker education, supervision, and safety culture.]]>

<![CDATA[Improving equitable inpatient service quality remains a critical challenge in Indonesia following the implementation of the Standard Inpatient Care Class policy. This study examined the relationship between policy implementation, service quality dimensions, and patient satisfaction at RAA Soewondo Pati Regional Hospital. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving 150 inpatients selected through simple random sampling from a population of 235 standard-class patients. Data were collected using a structured SERVQUAL questionnaire covering reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, tangibles, and overall satisfaction. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and Spearman rank correlation were applied. Results showed that most respondents rated service quality positively: reliability (90.0%), responsiveness (91.3%), assurance (80.7%), empathy (85.3%), and tangibles (79.3%). Overall, 87.3% of patients reported satisfaction. Chi-square analysis indicated that only age was significantly associated with satisfaction (p < 0.001). Spearman analysis confirmed a positive correlation between age and satisfaction (rs = 0.233; p = 0.004) and between tangibles and satisfaction (rs = 0.201; p = 0.014). Reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and gender were not significantly related to satisfaction (p > 0.05). The findings suggest that the policy has effectively improved structural and physical aspects of care, while interpersonal service dimensions remain relatively uniform. Hospitals should prioritize facility enhancement alongside communication and empathy training to further improve patient satisfaction.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to map and analyze measles cases in children aged 1-9 years in Situbondo Regency in 2024, based on measles immunization coverage and population density. Using a descriptive analytical method with an ecological study approach and secondary data from the 2024 East Java Health Profile, the unit of analysis was 17 sub-districts in Situbondo Regency. Spatial analysis was conducted using Health Mapper and GeoDa for Global Moran's I and Bivariate Local Indicator of Spatial Association (BiLISA). The results showed that measles immunization coverage in all sub-districts has not reached the national target of 95%, with Panji District having the highest proportion of cases. Global Moran's I analysis found a significant negative spatial autocorrelation between immunization coverage and measles cases (I = -0.330, p = 0.015), indicating that areas with high immunization coverage tend to be adjacent to areas with low cases, and vice versa. Meanwhile, for population density, no significant spatial autocorrelation was found (I = 0.217, p = 0.053), although densely populated areas tended to have a higher proportion of cases. This indicates that while immunization coverage has a clear spatial relationship with measles cases, population density is not the sole determining factor.]]>

<![CDATA[Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still a public health problem that requires household involvement in vector control. Legok Village in Jambi City has environmental characteristics and population density that have the potential to support dengue transmission. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards dengue prevention behavior in the community of Legok Village, Jambi City. Quantitative analytical research with a cross-sectional design was conducted in September 2025 on 235 respondents aged ≥17 years. Sampling was carried out in stages through random selection of RT clusters, then systematic random sampling at the household level. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed univariate and bivariate with chi-square and Fisher exact tests. The results showed that 92.8% of respondents had poor dengue prevention behavior, 60.9% had poor knowledge, and 90.6% had a positive attitude. There was no meaningful relationship between knowledge and dengue prevention behavior (p=0.142) or between attitudes and dengue prevention behaviors (p=0.380). Relatively good knowledge and attitudes have not automatically encouraged specific, routine, and household-based prevention behavior. Interventions need to be directed at assisting household practices, community mobilization, and strengthening the supportive environment for dengue prevention.]]>

<![CDATA[Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) remains a common health problem among young adults and can disrupt academic productivity. Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke are thought to increase respiratory tract vulnerability through mucosal irritation and decreased respiratory defense function. This study aims to analyze the relationship between smoking and secondhand smoke exposure with ARI symptoms in students of the Public Health Science Study Program, class of 2024, Jambi University. The study used a quantitative cross-sectional design with 100 students selected using a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering respondent characteristics, smoking status, secondhand smoke exposure, and ARI symptoms in the past month. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed using the Chi-square test, Odds Ratio (OR), and 95% confidence intervals. The results showed that 42.0% of respondents experienced ARI symptoms, 12.0% were active smokers, and 54.0% were frequently exposed to secondhand smoke. Smoking habits were significantly associated with ARI symptoms (p=0.031; OR=5.00; 95%CI=1.26-19.80). Exposure to secondhand smoke was also significantly associated with ARI symptoms (p=0.042; OR=2.94; 95%CI=1.28-6.79). Gender was not significantly associated with ARI symptoms (p=0.788). Strengthening smoke-free areas and promoting smoking cessation education should be prioritized on campus and in student housing environments.]]>

<![CDATA[Postoperative hypothermia is a significant clinical complication for patients undergoing general anesthesia, often resulting from impaired thermoregulation and cold environmental exposure in the operating theater. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of a blanket warmer on body temperature stabilization in postoperative patients experiencing hypothermia in the recovery room. A quantitative study with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted at RSU Siaga Medika Purbalingga. The study included 40 patients selected via purposive sampling who met the inclusion criteria. Body temperature was measured before and at 5, 10, and 15-minute intervals following the application of a blanket warmer. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results demonstrated that the mean temperature increased significantly from 34.71℃ at baseline to 36.35℃ after 15 minutes of intervention (p<0.001). These findings indicate that the blanket warmer is highly effective in increasing core body temperature and facilitating a return to normothermia within the recovery phase. Implementing this non-pharmacological intervention as a standardized nursing protocol is essential to enhance patient comfort, reduce recovery duration, and minimize anesthesia-related complications.]]>

<![CDATA[Missed diagnoses of rotator cuff tears on non-invasive imaging remain a clinically important problem. Recent data have shown that a substantial proportion of tears — particularly subscapularis tears and partial-thickness lesions — are overlooked on MRI and ultrasonography (US). Whether one modality systematically misses more tears than the other in contemporary practice is unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate MRI and US in terms of missed diagnoses (false-negative rate) and overall diagnostic accuracy for rotator cuff injury, through a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published in the last 10 years (January 2015 – December 2025). A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library on the main concepts of rotator cuff tear, MRI (including conventional MRI and MR arthrography), US, and diagnostic accuracy. Inclusion criteria consisted of original research studies that assessed the diagnostic accuracy of MRI and/or US (index tests) for the diagnosis of rotator cuff tear using surgical findings (arthroscopy or open surgery) as the reference standard. The QUADAS-2 tool was used to assess methodologic quality. Meta-analyses were performed to compare MRI and US in the diagnosis of any rotator cuff tear, full-thickness tears, partial-thickness tears, and subscapularis tears. Between-study variation was analyzed using the Cochran Q test and I² statistic. Twelve studies satisfied inclusion and exclusion criteria (MRI, n = 7; US, n = 6; both modalities in the same patients, n = 3), consisting of 2,253 total patients and 2,417 total shoulders. For any rotator cuff tear, MRI showed a pooled sensitivity of 0.91 (95% CI, 0.87–0.94) and specificity of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.85–0.92); US showed a pooled sensitivity of 0.87 (95% CI, 0.82–0.91) and specificity of 0.91 (95% CI, 0.86–0.94). For full-thickness tears, sensitivity was 0.93 (95% CI, 0.90–0.95) for MRI and 0.91 (95% CI, 0.88–0.94) for US (p = 0.42). Diagnostic performance dropped for partial-thickness tears (sensitivity: MRI 0.70 [95% CI, 0.62–0.78]; US 0.65 [95% CI, 0.54–0.75]) and for subscapularis tears (sensitivity: MRI 0.56 [95% CI, 0.44–0.68]; US 0.30 [95% CI, 0.18–0.46]). Heterogeneity across studies was moderate to high (I² = 48%–75%). Corresponding miss rates were: full-thickness tear 7% (MRI) vs 9% (US); partial-thickness tear 30% vs 35%; subscapularis tear 44% vs 70%. MRI and US show comparable accuracy for full-thickness rotator cuff tears in studies published in the last 10 years, and either modality can be considered a first-line imaging option in that clinical setting. Both modalities, however, miss a clinically meaningful proportion of partial-thickness and subscapularis tears, with higher miss rates on US. When the subscapularis or a small partial tear is clinically suspected, MRI (or MR arthrography) may reduce missed diagnoses. This review quantifies the contemporary risk of missed diagnoses on MRI and US, supports shared decision-making between clinicians and patients when selecting an initial imaging modality, and identifies the subscapularis tendon and partial-thickness articular-surface tears as priorities for reader training and protocol optimization.]]>

<![CDATA[Chronic pain in elderly people with gout arthritis remains a problem that lacks structured treatment, negatively impacting their quality of life and daily activities. This study aims to analyze the effect of physical activity on the level of chronic pain in elderly people with gout arthritis in Kejambon Hamlet, Dapurkejambon Village. The study used a quantitative research type with a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design. The study was conducted on elderly people experiencing gout arthritis pain with a mild and moderate pain scale, taken using a purposive sampling technique according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 20 respondents. Data were collected using a pre-post test pain scale observation sheet and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results showed that, before the intervention, most respondents experienced moderate pain (15 respondents (75%), and after the intervention, most respondents experienced a decrease in pain levels to mild (15 respondents (75%). The Wilcoxon test results showed a significance value of 0.001 (p <0.05), which means there is a significant effect of physical activity on reducing the level of chronic pain in elderly people with gout arthritis. It was concluded that physical activity significantly reduced chronic pain levels in elderly people with gouty arthritis. This study recommends that this activity can be used as an effective non-pharmacological intervention in geriatric nursing practice.]]>

<![CDATA[Intubation difficulties are a major challenge in airway management for patients undergoing general anesthesia, as they can lead to hypoxia, aspiration, airway trauma, and even death. The Mallampati Score is the most commonly used predictive method in preoperative assessment; however, its accuracy as a single predictor remains limited. Various other methods, such as thyromental distance, sternomental distance, Cormack-Lehane grading, the upper lip bite test, and multivariate models, are also used to improve predictive accuracy. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the Mallampati Score and other methods in predicting intubation difficulty. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases covering the years 2016–2026. Included studies comprised randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, prospective studies, and retrospective comparative studies evaluating the Mallampati Score and other methods in predicting intubation difficulty in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Quality assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) instrument. A total of 1,104 articles were identified in the initial stage. After removing duplicates, 1,061 articles were selected for screening. A total of 24 articles passed the selection based on title, year, method, and abstract. Thirteen articles underwent full-text review, and 8 articles met the inclusion criteria for analysis. The results indicate that the Mallampati Score remains effective as an initial screening tool because it is simple, quick, non-invasive, and has reasonably good sensitivity. However, the Mallampati Score is not sufficiently robust when used as a single predictor. Other methods, such as thyromental distance, have higher specificity, while combinations of multiple parameters or machine learning approaches demonstrate better predictive accuracy. The Mallampati Score remains relevant as an initial screening tool for predicting intubation difficulty, but its effectiveness is optimized when combined with other methods. No single method is the most accurate; therefore, a multimodal approach is the most rational strategy for evaluating difficult airways.]]>
