Abstract

Knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) are frequently assumed to progress sequentially, yet empirical evidence for this pathway in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) prevention among nurses remains limited, particularly in private wound care settings in Indonesia. This study examined the associations and predictive relationships among demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and practice toward DFU prevention among 167 nurses across eight private wound care clinics in Jakarta. Chi-square tests of association, Pearson's correlation, Spearman's rho, Kendall's tau, and multiple linear regression were applied. Length of service was significantly associated with knowledge and attitude (p = 0.005 and p = 0.031, respectively) but not practice (p = 1.000); age was significantly associated with attitude only (p < 0.001); sex showed no significant association with any KAP domain. Knowledge was significantly and consistently correlated with practice across all three correlation coefficients (Pearson's r = −0.379, p < 0.001), whereas attitude showed no significant association with practice. Multiple regression confirmed knowledge as the sole significant predictor of practice (B = −0.375, p < 0.001), explaining 14.9% of practice variance, while demographic variables explained only 3.1% and were not significant predictors. These findings indicate that knowledge, rather than attitude or demographic characteristics, is the primary driver of DFU prevention practice, with substantial unexplained variance suggesting the influence of organizational and contextual factors not captured in this model.

Abstract

Bell's palsy is a unilateral peripheral facial nerve paralysis that may cause facial asymmetry, impaired eye closure, difficulties with eating and drinking, and psychosocial consequences. This scientific paper aims to describe clinical changes following physiotherapy management consisting of electrical stimulation (ES), massage, and mirror exercise in a patient with right-sided Bell's palsy. A descriptive case-report method was used in a 15-year-old female patient who underwent six physiotherapy sessions from March 7 to April 25, 2026. Evaluation was performed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Ugo Fisch Scale, Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), and the Facial Disability Index (FDI) instrument as used in the case report. Tenderness decreased from 3 to 1, movement-related pain from 4 to 2, and resting pain from 1 to 0. The mean MMT score of eight facial muscles increased from 2.0 at T1 to 5.0 at T6. The Ugo Fisch score increased from 58 to 99. The mean FDI physical-domain score increased from 2.8 to 5.0 and the social-domain score from 3.6 to 5.0. These findings indicate improvements in pain, motor function, and functional ability after six intervention sessions. However, because this case report had no control group and used combined modalities, the changes cannot be causally attributed to any single modality. Combined intervention may be considered as part of an individualized rehabilitation program with periodic monitoring.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is a common health problem among students in Islamic boarding schools due to close interpersonal contact and communal living conditions. Health education using engaging media may support preventive behavior and reduce the occurrence of head lice infestation. This study aimed to determine the effect of hair personal hygiene education using comic media on the occurrence of Pediculosis capitis among female students at Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The population consisted of 451 female students, with 212 respondents selected using simple random sampling. Hair personal hygiene education was delivered using comic media, while the occurrence of Pediculosis capitis was assessed through direct examination using a fine-toothed lice comb before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the McNemar test with a significance level of 0.05. Before the intervention, 195 respondents (92.0%) were positive for Pediculosis capitis and 17 (8.0%) were negative. After the intervention, the number of positive respondents decreased to 132 (62.3%), while 80 (37.7%) were negative. The McNemar test showed a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest results (p < 0.001). The findings indicate that hair personal hygiene education using comic media had a significant effect on reducing the occurrence of Pediculosis capitis. Comic-based health education can be used as a promotive and preventive approach to support the reduction of head lice infestation among female students in Islamic boarding school settings

Abstract

Falls are a major health problem among older adults and may result in injuries, functional limitations, loss of independence, and increased healthcare utilization. Fall risk is multifactorial and may involve intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including age, previous falls, balance impairment, muscle weakness, visual impairment, medication use, comorbidities, and environmental hazards. To analyze factors associated with fall risk among older adults. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in August 2026 in the working area of Sukamaju Public Health Center. A total of 78 older adults were selected using purposive sampling. Independent variables included age, history of falls, muscle strength, balance, visual impairment, use of fall-risk medications, comorbidities, and home environmental conditions. Fall risk was assessed using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and categorized into low and high risk. Bivariate analysis used the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis used logistic regression. Of the 78 older adults, 43 (55.1%) were classified as having high fall risk and 35 (44.9%) as having low fall risk. Significant associations were found between fall risk and history of falls (p=0.002), muscle strength (p=0.011), balance impairment (p<0.001), visual impairment (p=0.019), use of fall-risk medications (p=0.028), comorbidities (p=0.037), and home environmental conditions (p=0.014). Age was not significantly associated with fall risk (p=0.083). Multivariate analysis showed that balance impairment was the strongest determinant of fall risk, with an odds ratio of 4.72. History of falls, muscle strength, balance, visual impairment, medication use, comorbidities, and environmental conditions are associated with fall risk among older adults. Balance impairment is the strongest determinant.

Abstract

Fasting blood glucose testing is a crucial laboratory procedure for diagnosing diabetes mellitus. Test result accuracy is influenced by the pre-analytical phase; specifically, delays in testing can lead to a decrease in glucose levels due to glycolysis. This study aimed to determine the difference in fasting blood glucose levels between immediate testing and testing delayed by three hours in patients with diabetes mellitus at Karisma Cimareme Hospital. An observational analytic design with a comparative approach was employed, involving 30 patients with diabetes mellitus. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured using the Glucose Oxidase Peroxidase Aminoantipyrine (GOD-PAP) method. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test followed by a paired-sample t-test. The results showed that the mean fasting blood glucose level was 180.27 mg/dL for immediate testing and 165.53 mg/dL for testing delayed by three hours, representing a mean decrease of 14.73 mg/dL. The paired-sample t-test yielded a p-value of <0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two testing conditions. The study demonstrates that a three-hour delay in testing contributes to a reduction in fasting blood glucose levels; therefore, testing should be performed promptly.

Abstract

Outpatient services require a reliable information system to accelerate work processes, improve information accessibility, and support coordination among service units. This study aimed to analyze the impact of the Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) on the efficiency of outpatient service processes at Maranatha Hospital and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. HMIS implementation was analyzed using the Human–Organization–Technology Fit (HOT-Fit) framework proposed by Yusof et al. (2008), operationalized through technology, human, and organizational dimensions according to the scope and available data. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, documentation, and questionnaires as supporting data. The study involved 19 purposively selected informants, consisting of 10 outpatient registration officers and 9 medical record officers. The findings indicate that HMIS supported efficiency through faster registration, easier access to patient information, reduced movement of physical records, and improved coordination among units. However, these benefits were not yet optimal because of unstable networks and servers, limited system features, inconsistent data integration, and users’ competency needs. Optimization should focus on strengthening technological infrastructure, improving data integration and validation, developing user-oriented features, strengthening downtime procedures, and providing regular training and user assistance.

Abstract

The self-efficacy of breastfeeding mothers is the mother's confidence in her ability to breastfeed optimally and sustainably. Husband's support as a form of social support is suspected to play a role in increasing the confidence of breastfeeding mothers. However, exclusive breastfeeding coverage in the work area of the Cibeber Health Center in Cimahi City is still low (59.65%) compared to the city's achievements, so a study is needed related to the factors that affect it. This study aims to determine the relationship between husband support and the self-efficacy of breastfeeding mothers in the working area of the Cibeber Health Center, Cimahi City in 2026. The research uses a correlational analytical design and a cross-sectional approach. The total sampling technique was used to select 53 breastfeeding mothers aged 0–6 months as samples. The research instruments consisted of a spouse support questionnaire and a Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) questionnaire. Reliability and validity tests were carried out and declared satisfactory. Chi-Square test to analyze the data. The results showed that the husband's support was less than half in the good category (41.5%) and the mother's self-efficacy was less than half in the high category (45.3%). The chi-square test did not show a significant association between maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding and partner support (p>0.05). The p-value is 0.389. This study concluded that there was no correlation between maternal efficacy in breastfeeding and partner support. It is recommended that health workers continue to involve couples in breastfeeding education and that future researchers investigate additional factors that affect the self-efficacy of breastfeeding mothers.
