<![CDATA[Hypertension, a serious global health issue, often leads to serious consequences, including heart disease and stroke. This study examined the impact of psychological variables, particularly anxiety, on blood pressure among patients at the Krung Barona Jaya Community Health Center in Aceh Besar. The study was done using a quantitative cross-sectional design. Data were taken from 60 respondents, they were chosen by purposive sampling, not random. The researchers applied the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) to check anxiety level, and also used a sphygmomanometer to record blood pressure in a direct way. From the results, about 38.3% respondents showed moderate anxiety, meanwhile 61.7% were in severe anxiety condition, which is quite high. For blood pressure status, exactly 50% respondents had hypertension, and the other 50% did not show hypertension at the time of data collection. Then, using Chi-Square test with significance level 0.05, the p-value was 0.013. This value is smaller than 0.05, so it means there is a significant relationship, even if the sample is not very large. In short conclusion, both variables are connected. When anxiety level becomes higher, the risk for hypertension also tends to increase, it looks proportional in this sample, even in simple field condition like local clinic setting.]]>

<![CDATA[Healthcare services in hospitals are required to uphold patient rights, one of which is through the provision of general consent. At RSAD TK. II Udayana, there were indications that the general consent explanation process was not optimal, as officers often requested signatures without providing adequate information regarding the contents and purpose of the consent. This study aims to find out the perceptions of medical records officers regarding their expectations of providing general consent explanations to inpatients at RSAD TK. II Udayana, analysed from the aspects of input, process, and output. This research is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach, where data were collected through in-depth interviews with staff and the head of the admission unit. The results showed that in the input aspect, most officers understood the function of general consent as legal protection. In the process aspect, officers provided explanations by adapting to the patient's communication needs following the registration flow. In the output aspect, officers played a role in ensuring administrative completeness via Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and handling consent refusals when necessary. In conclusion, the role of medical record officers at RSAD TK. II Udayana is generally well-implemented, but continuous supervision and training are required to ensure that patient information rights are consistently fulfilled to improve service quality.]]>

<![CDATA[Anxiety in hospitalized children is a disturbance of the need for safety and comfort, reflecting inadequate emotional fulfillment, thus requiring adaptation during the treatment process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of betta fish–assisted animal therapy in reducing anxiety among hospitalized children. This study employed a case study design. The subjects were two hospitalized children experiencing anxiety-related nursing problems in the Wahab Khasbullah Ward at RSUI Madinah Kasembon. Data collection methods included interviews, observations, and documentation using source triangulation. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: (1) data reduction, (2) data display, and (3) conclusion drawing. The nursing evaluation showed that participant 1 (P1) had an anxiety level of HARS scale 12 (no anxiety) and FAS scale 2 (smiling). Meanwhile, participant 2 (P2) had an anxiety level of HARS (mild anxiety) and FAS scale 4 (silent). There was a decrease in anxiety levels among hospitalized children in the Wahab Khasbullah Ward at RSUI Madinah Kasembon after the implementation of betta fish–assisted animal therapy. Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) provides a combination of care activities involving betta fish, where children imagine that a sick fish, when properly cared for, fed, and kept in a clean environment, can recover quickly and avoid illness.]]>

<![CDATA[Radicular cyst is the most common inflammatory odontogenic cyst found in the jaws and is generally associated with pulp necrosis due to chronic infection. This lesion often develops asymptomatically and is frequently detected incidentally during radiographic examination. This study aims to review the clinical features, radiographic characteristics, and management of radicular cysts based on a systematic literature review. The method used was a Systematic Literature Review by collecting data from various relevant scientific databases. The results indicate that clinically, radicular cysts are mostly asymptomatic in the early stages, but in advanced conditions, they may cause swelling, pain, and bone expansion. Radiographically, the lesion typically appears as a well-defined radiolucent area at the apex of a non-vital tooth; however, definitive diagnosis still requires histopathological examination. Advanced imaging modalities such as CBCT and MRI improve diagnostic accuracy. The management of radicular cysts depends on the size and characteristics of the lesion. Non-surgical endodontic treatment is the primary approach for small to moderate lesions, while surgical interventions such as enucleation or marsupialization are indicated in more complex cases. In conclusion, a comprehensive approach involving clinical, radiographic, and histopathological evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management of radicular cysts.]]>

<![CDATA[This case report describes the clinical course, management, and outcome of a 70-year-old male patient diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke with intracerebral hemorrhage in the right basal ganglia, accompanied by intraventricular hemorrhage and cerebral edema. The patient presented with left-sided weakness, slurred speech, facial asymmetry, and decreased level of consciousness. Comprehensive management included intravenous fluids, osmotic diuretics (mannitol), antifibrinolytics (tranexamic acid), vitamin K, neuroprotective agents (citicoline), antibiotics, and supportive therapies. Despite decompressive craniectomy and intensive care, the patient’s neurological status progressively deteriorated from compos mentis to coma. Monitoring showed unstable vital signs, impaired coagulation parameters, and fluctuating blood glucose levels. No significant drug-related problems or adverse reactions were identified during treatment. However, the severity of brain injury, increased intracranial pressure, and associated complications led to poor clinical outcomes. The patient was declared deceased on January 25, 2026.

<![CDATA[Stunting remains a persistent public health challenge in developing countries, reflecting not only nutritional deficiencies but also broader social inequalities. This study examines the influence of social capital and social networks on the effectiveness of stunting prevention services, with a particular focus on the mediating role of maternal agency. A quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) was applied to data collected from multiple public health centers in Kendari City, Indonesia, complemented by secondary data on stunting cases from 2022 to 2024. The results show that social capital (β = 0.31, p < 0.01) and social networks (β = 0.27, p < 0.01) significantly influence service effectiveness. Maternal agency also has a strong direct effect (β = 0.41, p < 0.001) and mediates the relationship between social determinants and service outcomes. The model explains 74% of the variance in effectiveness (R² = 0.74), indicating strong explanatory power. These findings highlight the importance of integrating social approaches into public health strategies. This study contributes to the literature by proposing an integrated model linking social structures and maternal behavior to health service effectiveness.]]>
