Abstract

Background: The clinical practice period is a crucial stage in nursing education, aimed at developing students' professional competence. However, this phase is often a source of stress due to academic demands, clinical responsibilities, and the pressures of the hospital environment. Poorly managed stress can reduce students' performance, motivation, and mental health. One factor influencing stress levels is coping mechanisms, namely how individuals deal with psychological pressure. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between coping mechanisms and stress levels in nursing students during clinical practice at a teaching hospital. Method: This study used a correlational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was all final-year nursing students who were practicing clinically at Hospital X, totaling 100 people, with a sample of 80 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The instrument used was the Perceived Nursing Questionnaire. Stress Scale (PSS) to measure stress levels and Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE Inventory) to assess coping mechanisms. Data were analyzed using the Spearman test. Rank to find out the relationship between variables. Results: Most students used adaptive coping mechanisms (72.5%) and experienced moderate stress levels (65%). The analysis showed a significant negative relationship between coping mechanisms and stress levels (p = 0.001; r = -0.512). This means that the more adaptive the coping mechanisms used, the lower the students' stress levels during clinical practice. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between coping mechanisms and stress levels in nursing students. Adaptive coping mechanisms have been shown to play a significant role in reducing stress during clinical practice. Support from educational institutions through stress management training programs and psychological counseling is needed to enable students to effectively cope with academic and work pressures.

Abstract

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common nosocomial infections in ICU patients and has the potential to increase morbidity, mortality, and cost of care. Nurses' compliance with VAP prevention protocols is greatly influenced by their knowledge of ventilators and related nursing practices. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nurses' knowledge of ventilators and their compliance in VAP prevention in the ICU. This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 60 ICU nurses selected purposively in three hospitals in city X. Data were collected using a ventilator knowledge questionnaire and VAP prevention compliance observation. Data analysis used the Pearson correlation test to determine the relationship between knowledge and compliance. The results showed a significant positive relationship between nurses' knowledge level about ventilators and compliance in VAP prevention (r = 0.58; p < 0.01). In conclusion, increasing nurses' knowledge regarding ventilators has an effect on improving VAP prevention compliance. It is recommended that hospitals regularly conduct training and education for ICU nurses to improve nosocomial infection prevention practices.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a serious concern in Indonesia, particularly in coastal areas, which generally suffer from low levels of well-being, limited food access, and vulnerable environmental conditions. Stunting impacts not only a child's physical growth but also their cognitive development and future productivity. Furthermore, coastal communities possess a rich culture and local wisdom that can play a crucial role in maintaining food security and family nutritional status. This study aims to analyze in depth the role of local wisdom in preventing stunting in toddlers in coastal areas. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, through in-depth interviews with community leaders, mothers of toddlers, and health workers in coastal villages. Participatory observation and documentation studies were also conducted to obtain comprehensive data regarding local wisdom practices still practiced by the community. The results showed that forms of local wisdom such as the tradition of consuming fresh fish, the use of local plants (moringa leaves, sweet potatoes, bananas), and social values such as mutual cooperation and food arisan (social gatherings) have a significant contribution to preventing stunting . This local wisdom supports the fulfillment of balanced nutrition, strengthens social solidarity, and raises awareness of the importance of a healthy diet for toddlers. Modernization, changing consumption patterns, and coastal environmental degradation threaten the sustainability of these practices. Therefore, integrating local wisdom into government programs such as Posyandu (Integrated Health Posts), PKK (Family Welfare Movement), and nutrition education is necessary to strengthen culturally based stunting prevention strategies. Therefore, preserving and revitalizing local wisdom can be a sustainable solution to reducing stunting prevalence in Indonesia's coastal areas.

Abstract

Access to maternal health services is a determining factor in the success of maternal and child health programs. One important indicator is the regularity of antenatal care ( ANC ) visits, which is significantly influenced by geographic conditions, including distance to health facilities. This study aims to analyze the relationship between distance to health facilities and the regularity of antenatal care visits among pregnant women in remote areas. The study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. Sectional. The research population was all pregnant women in the working area of Health Center X, totaling 120 people, and the sample consisted of 80 respondents taken proportionally. Random sampling. Primary data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire, while secondary data were obtained from the KIA book and community health center reports. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Chi- Square (χ²) test with a 95% confidence level. The results showed that 62.5% of respondents traveled >5 km to a health facility, and 58.7% did not undergo regular ANC check-ups. Statistical tests showed a p-value of 0.002 (<0.05), indicating a significant relationship between distance traveled and the regularity of prenatal check-ups. The longer the distance traveled, the lower the frequency of ANC visits. In conclusion, difficult geographic access is a significant determinant of irregular antenatal care in remote areas. It is recommended that the government and health facilities expand the reach of maternal services through mobile services, the role of village midwives, and integrated integrated health posts (Posyandu) to improve the accessibility and regularity of ANC.

Abstract

Interpersonal communication is a crucial factor in determining the quality of the midwife-patient relationship. Effective communication in midwifery services can enhance patient comfort, trust, and satisfaction. This study aimed to determine the relationship between midwives' interpersonal communication and patient satisfaction with midwifery services at Community Health Center X. This type of research is quantitative with a cross-sectional design. Sectional. The population in this study were all patients who received obstetric services at Community Health Center X during May–July 2025, totaling 80 people. The sample was taken using an accidental sampling technique of 67 respondents. The instruments used were a midwife interpersonal communication questionnaire (15 items) and a patient satisfaction questionnaire (15 items) that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using the Chi- Square statistical test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents rated midwives' interpersonal communication as good (71.6%) and patient satisfaction as satisfactory (68.7%). The Chi- Square test yielded a p-value of 0.002 (<0.05), indicating a significant relationship between midwives' interpersonal communication and patient satisfaction with midwifery services. In conclusion, the better the interpersonal communication skills developed by midwives, the higher the patient satisfaction levels. Therefore, improving midwives' interpersonal communication skills through training and coaching should be a priority in efforts to improve the quality of midwifery services.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease with increasing prevalence in Indonesia and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. According to the 2023 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the prevalence of DM in Indonesia has reached 2.3%, with a trend of increasing annually. Community health centers (Puskesmas), as first-level health care facilities, play a crucial role in early detection and control of T2DM risk factors. Objective: This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus based on an analytical epidemiological approach in the working area of Health Center X. Methods: The study design used a case-control study approach with a sample size of 100 respondents (50 cases and 50 controls). Independent variables included age, obesity, physical activity, diet, family history, and smoking habits. Data analysis was performed bivariately using the Chi- Square test and multivariately using multiple logistic regression. Bivariate analysis showed that variables significantly associated with the incidence of Type 2 DM were obesity (p = 0.001), low physical activity (p = 0.003), high-calorie diet (p = 0.002), and family history of DM (p = 0.004). Logistic regression results showed that obesity was the most dominant risk factor with Odds Ratio (OR) = 5.6 (95% CI: 2.1–14.9). Conclusion: Obesity, low physical activity, high-calorie diet, and family history of DM have been shown to be significant risk factors for the occurrence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Preventive efforts can be carried out through balanced nutrition education, promotion of physical activity, and early detection in individuals with high-risk factors.

Abstract

Families of critically ill patients treated in the ICU often experience anxiety due to the patient's unstable condition, the intensive care environment, and communication limitations. The therapeutic approach of nurses is an empathetic communication strategy that can help reduce family anxiety. This study aims to determine the effect of the therapeutic approach of nurses on the anxiety levels of families of critically ill patients in the ICU. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 30 respondents, who were family members of critically ill patients selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant decrease in anxiety levels after the therapeutic approach was implemented by nurses (p = 0.000 < 0.05). In conclusion, the therapeutic approach of nurses has a significant effect on reducing the anxiety levels of families of critically ill patients in the ICU. It is hoped that nurses will be able to consistently apply therapeutic communication in providing nursing care in the ICU.
