Abstract

Background: Nurses’ interpersonal communication is a critical determinant of care quality, yet the optimal strategies for improving the adult inpatient experience have not been comprehensively mapped.Aims: This scoping review aimed to map nurses’ interpersonal communication strategies and evaluate their impact on the experiences of adult inpatients.Methods: Guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework and reported according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across EBSCOhost, PubMed, and Scopus for articles published between 2016 and 2026. Eligibility was determined using the Population–Concept–Context (PCC) framework, covering nurses and adult patients, interpersonal communication strategies, and acute inpatient settings.Results: Six studies with heterogeneous designs met the inclusion criteria and were grouped into three themes: (1) structured communication and educational curricula; (2) nonverbal adaptation and visual aids; and (3) communication directionality and patient involvement in decision-making. Structured communication approaches were associated with more favorable patient-reported satisfaction outcomes, whereas one-way communication was linked to a markedly higher risk of negative interactions these preliminary patterns emerged from a small, heterogeneous evidence base.Conclusion: This mapping suggests that interpersonal communication appears to be an important component of patient-centered clinical care. The available evidence indicates that structured strategies may enhance satisfaction, whereas systemic barriers such as heavy workloads and power imbalances can foster one-way communication. Given the limited and heterogeneous evidence, these patterns should be interpreted cautiously, and improving the patient experience is likely to require integrating structured communication with workload management to support patient-centered care.

Abstract

Background: Conventional health education media such as leaflets and oral lectures are often limited in reaching patients with low health literacy, while animated videos and bundled care have each been shown to improve understanding and care outcomes. However, evidence regarding their integration remains scattered and has not been systematically mapped.Aims: To map the evidence regarding the integration forms, measured outcomes, intervention designs, effectiveness, and implementation barriers of animated videos combined with bundled care in health education.Methods: This scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O'Malley's framework and was reported according to PRISMA ScR guidelines.Results: From 108 initial records, 99 records were screened after removing duplicates and ineligible records. Six studies met inclusion criteria (two RCTs, two quasi-experimental studies, one case-control study, and one systematic review). Animated videos consistently improved short-term knowledge, but only one study truly integrated videos into multicomponent bundled care with objective clinical outcomes. Effects on attitudes, satisfaction, and behaviors varied far more than effects on knowledge.Conclusion: The combination of animated videos and bundled care is promising for health education, but the term "bundled care" is still used loosely, measurement instruments are generally unvalidated across populations, and evidence on behavioral change and long term clinical outcomes remains very limited. Standardization of bundle components and research designs capable of isolating video contributions from other bundle components are needed.

Abstract

Background: The Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) is an intensive care unit for patients with heart disorders who require close monitoring. The ICCU environment often causes sleep disturbances in patients due to the noise of medical equipment and excessive lighting. Sleep disturbances can worsen health conditions, increase stress, and slow the patient's recovery process. One nonpharmacological intervention that can be used to reduce environmental disturbances is the use of earplugs and eye masks. These two devices function to reduce exposure to sound and light, thereby helping to create a more comfortable environment for rest.Aims: This study aims to determine the effect of earplug and eye mask use on improving sleep quality in patients with heart monitors in the ICCU ward of Dr. M. Yunus Regional General Hospital, Bengkulu City in 2025.Methods: This study utilized a quantitative quasi-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 92 respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Sleep quality was measured before and after the intervention using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Abstract

Background: According to the 2021 Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) conducted by the Indonesian Ministry of Health, the number of adults who smoke increased from 60.3 million to 69.1 million. Smoking prevalence remains high, driven by the emergence of various tobacco products. A study conducted among Universitas Gadjah Mada students reported that 245 students (62%) used e-cigarettes (Rahma, 2024). To promote a smoke-free campus, Universitas Gadjah Mada enacted Rector’s Decree No. 29/P/SK/HT/2008 concerning Smoke-Free Areas (SFA). This highlights the need to evaluate student compliance with the SFA policy.Aims: To identify the level of compliance among Universitas Gadjah Mada students with the Smoke-Free Area (SFA) policy.Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive cross-sectional design involving 194 undergraduate (bachelor’s and diploma) student smokers at Universitas Gadjah Mada. Participants were recruited using consecutive sampling. Data were collected using an Adherence Questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics.Results: Most UGM student smokers complied with the Smoke-Free Area (SFA) policy, with an overall compliance rate of 92.30%. Despite the high level of compliance, smoking remained common in residential environments (44.80%) and cafés (25.30%), while 4.10% of students still reported smoking on campus. Conventional cigarettes were the most commonly used tobacco product (37.60%), followed by dual use of conventional and electronic cigarettes (31.00%) and exclusive electronic cigarette use (30.90%).Conclusion: The majority of Universitas Gadjah Mada students complied with the Smoke-Free Area (SFA) policy.

Abstract

Background: Rapid advances in digital health technologies have transformed healthcare delivery by improving accessibility, efficiency, and quality of care. While research has largely focused on clinical information systems, disease management, and healthcare infrastructure, limited attention has been given to community empowerment, digital health literacy, behavioral acceptance, and community-based implementation. Mapping the intellectual landscape of health technology innovation is therefore essential to identify research trends and gaps.Aim: This study maps the global scientific landscape of health technology innovation in community services, identifies dominant and emerging research themes, and provides evidence to support community-based digital health models, particularly in rural and agribusiness settings.Methods: A bibliometric approach was employed using metadata from internationally indexed publications. Data were analyzed with the Bibliometrix package in RStudio through descriptive bibliometric analysis, co-occurrence network analysis, science mapping, thematic evolution, and conceptual structure mapping to examine publication trends, collaboration patterns, research clusters, and emerging topics.Results: Health technology research is predominantly centered on telemedicine, digital health systems, electronic health records, disease management, healthcare information technology, and clinical decision-support systems. Telemedicine has emerged as a multidisciplinary research hub linking digital innovation, healthcare management, patient outcomes, service quality, and policy development. However, notable gaps remain in community participation, digital health literacy, behavioral acceptance, community health worker involvement, and the application of behavioral theories, including the Technology Acceptance Model, in community-level implementation.Conclusion: Integrating technological innovation with community empowerment can strengthen digital health adoption, improve equitable healthcare access, and support sustainable digital health ecosystems, particularly in rural and agribusiness communities.

Abstract

Background: Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disorder caused by excessive thyroid hormone production that may lead to severe hypermetabolic complications if left untreated. Genetic predisposition and demographic characteristics are considered important factors associated with hyperthyroidism status.Aims: This study aimed to analyze the association between genetic and demographic factors and hyperthyroidism status among patients at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Regional General Hospital, Bandar Lampung.Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design involving 55 participants recruited through simple random sampling. Information was obtained using a structured data collection form and patients’ medical records at the internal medicine outpatient clinic of Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Regional General Hospital. Variables analyzed included family history, age, sex, ethnicity, education, occupation, and socioeconomic status. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher’s Exact Test and Likelihood Ratio tests with a significance level of p < 0.05.Results: The results showed that genetic factors represented by family history were significantly associated with hyperthyroidism among the study participants (p = 0.003). Significant associations were also found between hyperthyroidism status and age (p = 0.002), sex (p < 0.001), and ethnicity (p < 0.001). In contrast, education level (p = 0.167), occupation (p = 0.579), and socioeconomic status (p = 0.530) were not significantly associated with hyperthyroidism status. Family genogram findings demonstrated the occurrence of hyperthyroidism across one to three generations, indicating possible hereditary susceptibility.Conclusion: Family history, as an indicator of genetic predisposition, and several demographic factors, particularly age, sex, and ethnicity, were associated with hyperthyroidism status among the study participants. These findings highlight the potential value of assessing family history and demographic characteristics to support early detection and preventive strategies. However, the findings should be interpreted cautiously

Abstract

Background: In metropolitan areas, HIV/AIDS continues to be a significant public health concern. Despite the widespread availability of antiretroviral medication (ART) in primary healthcare institutions, long-term treatment success still depends on continued drug adherence and patient retention. ART adherence among people living with HIV (PLHIV) may be adversely affected by psychological factors such as anxiety, internalized stigma, low motivation, and decreased self-efficacy.Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate how hypnotherapy affected ART adherence in HIV-positive individuals getting treatment at urban primary healthcare institutions in Jambi City.Methods: A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted. Thirty PLHIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the Aur Duri, Kenali Besar, and Rawasari Public Health Centers in Jambi City were recruited using purposive sampling. These health centers were selected because they provide active ART services and HIV counseling. ART adherence was measured before and after the hypnotherapy intervention using the Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire (SMAQ). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results: Before and after the intervention, the mean ART adherence score was 4.27 ± 2.08 and 5.40 ± 1.04, respectively. There were 15 participants (50.0%) who exhibited improved adherence, 15 participants (50.0%) who showed no change, and no participants who showed a decrease in adherence. ART adherence before and after the hypnotherapy intervention differed statistically significantly, according to the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (Z = −3.469; p = 0.001).Conclusion: Antiretroviral medication (ART) adherence among HIV-positive individuals in urban primary healthcare settings was considerably enhanced by hypnotherapy. These results imply that hypnotherapy could be used as an additional community

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer remains the second most common malignancy among women in Indonesia, driven by late-stage clinical diagnoses. This cross-sectional correlational study investigated the relationship between behavioral-obstetrical risk profiles and the early manifestation of self-perceived cervical cancer symptoms among women in vulnerable reproductive groups at the primary care level.Aims: This study aimed to analyze the association between behavioral-obstetrical risk profiles and self-reported cervical cancer symptoms among women of childbearing age (15–49 years) at the primary healthcare level.Methods: A consecutive sample of 108 women of childbearing age completed an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire assessing behavioral–obstetrical risk factors and a 10-item cervical cancer symptom checklist at UPTD Puskesmas PB Selayang II, Medan, Indonesia.Results: Self-reported symptoms were identified in 59.3% of respondents, predominantly systemic fatigue (50.0%), lower back pain (37.96%), and pelvic pain (25.93%), while late-stage signs were completely absent.Conclusion: These results demonstrate a significant cross-sectional association between specific behavioral-obstetrical profiles and self-reported cervical cancer-related symptoms among women accessing primary care. Because symptoms were self-reported and unconfirmed by clinical or cytological diagnostic tests, universal screening remains essential to distinguish subjective reproductive complaints from actual cervical pathology.

Abstract

Background: Hospital readmission remains a major challenge in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While clinical predictors have been extensively investigated, evidence regarding psychosocial factors associated with readmission and other post-discharge outcomes remains fragmented.Aims: To map the available evidence on psychosocial factors associated with hospital readmission and related post-discharge outcomes among patients with COPD.Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Literature searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL for English-language studies published between January 2000 and March 2026.Results: Twenty-two studies were included. Four domains of psychosocial factors were identified: emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and social/contextual. Depression and anxiety were the most frequently investigated factors and showed the most consistent association with hospital readmission. Low social support, living alone, socioeconomic disadvantage, and functional dependency were also associated with an increased risk of hospital readmission and other adverse post-discharge outcomes. Behavioral factors, including poor self-efficacy, ineffective coping, and poor self-management, were less frequently investigated but appeared relevant. Cognitive factors, particularly low health literacy and poor discharge readiness, were the least explored.Conclusion: Existing evidence suggests that psychosocial factors are important considerations in efforts to reduce hospital readmission and improving other post-discharge outcomes in patients with COPD. However, further research is needed to strengthen the evidence on cognitive and behavioral factors and to support comprehensive discharge planning.

Abstract

Background: Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Patients undergoing chemotherapy experience not only various physical symptoms but also psychological problems, particularly anxiety, which may adversely affect their quality of life and treatment adherence. One complementary therapy that has the potential to reduce anxiety is Keraton Tea aromatherapy, which induces relaxation through stimulation of the olfactory system.Aims: This study aimed to determine the effect of Keraton Tea aromatherapy on anxiety levels among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at Raden Mattaher Regional General Hospital, Jambi Province.Methods: This study used a pretest–posttest control group design in a quasi-experimental manner. Using total sampling, 60 respondents who satisfied the inclusion criteria were gathered and divided into two groups: an intervention group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) was used to assess anxiety levels. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann-Whitney U Test with a significance level of α = 0.05 were used to evaluate the data.Results: According to the findings, the majority of participants in the intervention and control groups 80.0% and 56.7%, respectively had mild anxiety prior to the intervention. The percentage of individuals in the intervention group who experienced no anxiety rose from 3.3% to 23.3% after receiving Keraton Tea Aromatherapy, while the improvement in the control group was comparatively less. Both the intervention group (Z = −4.468; p < 0.001) and the control group (Z = −2.032; p = 0.042) showed a substantial decrease in anxiety levels before and after the intervention, according to the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Prior to the intervention, there was no discernible difference in the two groups' baseline anxiety levels, according to the Mann-Whitney U test (p = 0.129). However, following the intervention, there were significant differences between the intervention and control groups in the change in anxiety scores (Δ = pretest − posttest) (p < 0.001), suggesting that the intervention group experienced a significantly higher reduction in anxiety than the control group.Conclusion: For cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, Keraton Tea aromatherapy effectively lowers anxiety levels. This treatment could be viewed as an additional non-pharmacological nursing intervention to help reduce anxiety during chemotherapy.
