Abstract

Shifts are part of the work scheduling system in 24-hour hospitals, including the Emergency Department (ER). Night shift work can potentially cause physical and mental fatigue and reduce nurses' concentration, which can impact the quality of care and patient safety. This study aims to analyze the effect of night shifts on nurses' fatigue levels and concentration in the ER of X Regional General Hospital. The study used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A purposive sample of 60 nurses was selected, with at least 6 months of work experience in the ER and willingness to participate in the study. Data were collected using a Modified Variable Response Questionnaire (MOQ) Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) to measure fatigue and Work Concentration Scale (WCS) for work concentration. Data analysis used Pearson correlation with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the study showed a significant positive relationship between night shift work and nurse fatigue levels (r = 0.68; p < 0.05) and a significant negative relationship between night shift work and work concentration (r = -0.62; p < 0.05). This indicates that the more frequently nurses work night shifts, the higher their fatigue levels and the lower their work concentration. In conclusion, night shifts increase fatigue and decrease concentration among nurses in the emergency department. Equitable shift schedules and fatigue management programs are recommended to maintain nurse performance and service quality.

Abstract

Background: Cardiac arrest is an emergency that requires immediate and appropriate treatment. One key factor in the success of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the speed of response of nurses in the Emergency Department (ER). Response time Fast time) is associated with an increased chance of successful treatment of cardiac arrest patients. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between nurse response time and the success of treating cardiac arrest patients in the ER. Methods: This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was 40 cardiac arrest patients treated in the Emergency Department of Hospital "X" during the period of January–June 2025. Measurements were made on the nurses' response time from patient identification to the start of CPR. The success of treatment was measured by the presence of a return to normal. of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Data analysis was performed using the Chi- Square test using a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results of the study showed that most nurses with a response time of ≤1 minute successfully increased the ROSC rate in cardiac arrest patients compared to nurses with a response time of >1 minute. The Chi- Square test showed a significant relationship between nurse response time and successful treatment of cardiac arrest patients (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Nurse response time is significantly associated with the success of cardiac arrest treatment in the emergency department. The faster the response, the higher the chance of successful resuscitation.

Abstract

Background: Patients in Intensive Care The intensive care unit (ICU) is at high risk for sudden deterioration. Early detection of changes in clinical status is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) is a simple scoring system based on vital signs that is used to predict the likelihood of patient deterioration. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using the MEWS score in early detection of worsening patient conditions in the ICU. Methods: The study used an observational quantitative design with a prospective cohort approach. The study sample was 60 ICU patients at Hospital “X” who were assessed using the MEWS score during 7 days of treatment. The observed variables were the MEWS score and the incidence of deterioration (increased need for mechanical ventilation, higher ICU transfer, or death). Analysis was performed using sensitivity, specificity, and logistic regression tests. Results: A MEWS score ≥5 had a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 78% in detecting patient deterioration. Regression analysis showed that the MEWS score significantly predicted the incidence of deterioration (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The MEWS score has been shown to be effective as an early detection tool for patient deterioration in the ICU. Routine use of this score can help nurses and physicians intervene more quickly.

Abstract

Immunization is an effective way to prevent infectious diseases and reduce morbidity and mortality in toddlers. Mothers' knowledge of basic immunizations plays a crucial role in determining the completeness of their child's immunizations. This study aims to determine the relationship between mothers' knowledge of immunizations and the completeness of basic immunizations in toddlers. This study is descriptive analytical with a cross-sectional approach. Sectional. The study population was all mothers with toddlers aged 12–59 months in the working area of Community Health Center X in 2025 with a sample of 100 respondents taken by purposive sampling. Data were collected using an immunization knowledge questionnaire and a KIA book observation sheet. Data analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately using the Chi- Square test. The results showed that most mothers had good knowledge (62%), and 68% of toddlers had complete basic immunizations. The Chi- Square test showed a p value = 0.002 (<0.05) which means there is a significant relationship between the level of maternal knowledge about immunization and the completeness of basic immunizations in toddlers. It was concluded that the higher the level of maternal knowledge, the more complete the basic immunizations in toddlers. It is hoped that health workers will increase public education about the importance of immunization through counseling and attractive information media.

Abstract

Fetal growth and development during pregnancy are significantly influenced by the quality of maternal nutritional intake. Inadequate nutritional intake can lead to low birth weight (LBW), which increases the risk of various health complications, including developmental disorders, infections, and chronic diseases in adulthood. Coastal areas have specific social, economic, and cultural characteristics that can influence maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy, such as limited access to nutritious food or a reliance on certain seafood. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of maternal nutritional intake on birth weight in coastal areas. This study used an observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 100 pregnant women who gave birth at a coastal community health center during January–June 2025, taken using a purposive sampling method. Data on nutritional intake were collected through a questionnaire that measured the frequency, type, and variety of food consumed during pregnancy, while birth weight was obtained from medical records. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation test to determine the relationship between nutritional intake and birth weight, and linear regression to assess the effect of nutritional intake on infant weight. The results of the study showed a significant positive correlation between maternal nutritional intake and birth weight (r = 0.62; p < 0.01). Mothers who consumed a balanced diet, including protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, tended to give birth to babies with normal birth weight. Conversely, mothers with less balanced nutritional intake had a higher risk of giving birth to babies with low birth weight. These findings emphasize the importance of nutrition education and providing nutritious food for pregnant women, especially in coastal areas, to support maternal and infant health and reduce the risk of neonatal complications associated with low birth weight.

Abstract

Environmental cleanliness is an important indicator of public health and quality of life. The problem of poorly managed waste is a major challenge in many urban areas, including Indonesia. One innovation to increase community participation in waste management is the waste bank program, a community-based waste collection, processing, and utilization system that provides economic incentives for residents. This study aims to determine the effect of the waste bank program on changes in environmental cleanliness behavior in three urban villages. The method used was a quantitative survey with a pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 120 residents who actively participated in the waste bank program for at least 3 months. Data were collected through hygiene behavior questionnaires before and after participating in the program, as well as in-depth interviews with program managers to obtain supporting qualitative information. Data analysis was conducted using a paired t-test to determine significant differences in hygiene behavior before and after the program. The results showed a significant increase in all hygiene behavior indicators, including the habit of disposing of waste properly, sorting waste, and participation in environmental activities (p < 0.01). These findings demonstrate that the waste bank program is not only effective as a waste management tool but also plays a role in encouraging positive behavioral changes, increasing environmental awareness, and building a sustainable culture of community cleanliness. This research underscores the importance of program sustainability, community education, and local government support to ensure long-term impacts on environmental quality.

Abstract

Hypertension remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, contributing to an increased risk of coronary heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke. Conventional hypertension treatment using synthetic drugs is effective in lowering blood pressure, but often causes side effects such as dizziness, dry cough, hypokalemia, and metabolic disorders that can reduce patient compliance with therapy. Therefore, people are starting to turn to complementary and alternative treatments based on herbal plants. This study aims to review the effectiveness and safety of using herbal medicines as an alternative therapy for hypertension based on the latest scientific evidence. The research method used is systematic review. literature review of 35 scientific articles from the database PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Garuda Dikti during the period 2015–2024. The results of the study showed that plants such as garlic (Allium sativum), celery (Apium graveolens), soursop leaves (Annona muricata), and pegagan (Centella asiatica) has the effect of lowering blood pressure through the mechanism of vasodilation, increasing the production of nitric oxide oxide , diuretic effects, and antioxidant activity. Although most studies show positive results, most of the trials are still preclinical and require confirmation through large-scale clinical trials. In conclusion, herbal medicines have the potential to be used as complementary therapies for hypertension with minimal side effects. However, their use must be monitored by medical personnel to avoid interactions with synthetic antihypertensive drugs.

Abstract

Surveillance plays a crucial role in the early warning system for infectious diseases and outbreaks. Community health centers, as the spearhead of primary health care, have the primary responsibility for implementing continuous surveillance activities. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of epidemiological surveillance programs at community health centers in preventing outbreaks and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors. The research method used a descriptive evaluative approach with the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with surveillance officers, direct observation of reporting activities, and review of weekly infectious disease report documents. The research results show that from a contextual perspective, policies and implementation guidelines are available but have not been consistently implemented. From an input perspective, limited human resources and reporting facilities are the main obstacles. From a process perspective, routine data collection and reporting activities are ongoing, but timeliness and analysis of disease trends are still suboptimal. Meanwhile, from a product perspective, the surveillance system has assisted in the early detection of several potential outbreaks, although it has not been optimal in comprehensive prevention. In conclusion, the epidemiological surveillance program at the Community Health Center has been running according to guidelines but requires strengthening the capacity of surveillance personnel, increasing the use of information technology, and more effective cross-sector coordination.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a public health challenge in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic factors and family nutrition on the incidence of stunting in toddlers. This study design is an observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach, using simulated hypothetical data from 500 households with toddlers aged 24–59 months. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis used multiple logistic regression. The simulation results show that the most influential factors on the incidence of stunting are maternal education level (p<0.01), family income (p<0.05), and toddler energy-protein intake (p<0.01). Toddlers from families with low socioeconomic status have a 3.5 times higher risk of stunting than families with middle to upper economic status. The conclusion of this study is that socioeconomic determinants and family nutrition play an important role in determining the nutritional status of toddlers in Indonesia. Prevention efforts need to be directed at improving nutritional education and family economic empowerment.
