Abstract

Hallucinations are among the most distressing symptoms in schizophrenia, affecting 60–80% of patients and often persisting despite pharmacotherapy. Origami play therapy, a structured fine-motor activity, may improve hallucination control through attention diversion and sensory grounding. This study aimed to determine the effect of origami play therapy on hallucination control ability in patients with schizophrenia. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-post test design was used. The study was conducted at Madani General Hospital, Central Sulawesi, from August to September 2025. Twenty-five inpatients with active hallucinations were selected using purposive sampling. Participants received six 30-minute origami therapy sessions over 14 days. Hallucination control was measured using the Hallucination Control Scale (HCS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The mean hallucination control score increased significantly from 12.4 (SD = 0.71) pre-intervention to 19.2 (SD = 1.38) post-intervention. The median score improved from 12 to 20. The Wilcoxon test revealed a significant improvement (Z = -2.10, p = 0.036).  Origami play therapy was associated with significant improvement in hallucination control. However, due to the one-group design without a control group, causality cannot be established. Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm efficacy before clinical implementation.

Abstract

The elderly population in Indonesia is increasing, including in Central Sulawesi Province. Regular visits to the posyandu (integrated health post) are crucial for monitoring elderly health. However, participation at the Rosela Posyandu remains suboptimal, and family support has been identified as a potential contributing factor. Nevertheless, empirical evidence on this relationship in this specific setting is limited. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family support and elderly visits to the Rosela Posyandu in the working area of the Mamboro Community Health Center, Palu Utara District. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all registered older adults (aged 45 years and over) at the Rosela Posyandu, totaling 30 respondents, who were recruited using total sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire to measure family support and posyandu attendance records to assess visit frequency, categorized as active (≥3 visits in the last 3 months) or inactive (<3 visits). Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The majority of respondents were aged 45–59 years (57%), female (87%), and had elementary school education (30%). Among 30 respondents, 24 (80%) received supportive family support, while 6 (20%) did not. Of those with family support, 19 (79.2%) were active visitors, whereas all respondents without family support (100%) were inactive. The Chi-square test revealed a significant relationship between family support and elderly visits (p = 0.002). This study confirms a significant association between family support and elderly visits to the Rosela Posyandu. These findings highlight the need for family-centered health promotion strategies to improve elderly participation. Future research with larger samples and longitudinal designs is recommended.

Abstract

Background: Family support, particularly instrumental support, plays an important role in helping older adults with diabetes mellitus (DM) manage their blood glucose levels independently. Inadequate support may contribute to poor adherence to diabetes management and an increased risk of complications. This study aimed to determine the relationship between instrumental family support and blood glucose self-management among older adults with DM. Methods: This quantitative correlational study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted in July 2025 in Sawangan Village, Batang Regency, Indonesia. The sample consisted of 39 older adults with DM selected using total sampling. The independent variable was instrumental family support, measured using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The dependent variable was blood glucose self-management, assessed using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test (two-sided), as 25% of the cells had expected counts below 5. The odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to estimate the strength of the association. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Supportive family support was reported by 27 participants (69.2%), and good self-management by 28 participants (71.8%). Instrumental family support was significantly associated with blood glucose self-management (OR = 16.00, 95% CI: 2.93-87.25, p = 0.001, Fisher’s exact test). Conclusion: Instrumental family support was associated with self-reported blood glucose self-management among older adults with diabetes mellitus. Family-based interventions to strengthen instrumental support may be considered, although their effectiveness was not assessed in this study.

Abstract

Nurses’ workload may be associated with the quality and consistency of nursing performance in inpatient settings. Local evidence from Ampana Regional General Hospital is needed to inform workload planning. Objective: To examine the association between workload and nurse performance among inpatient nurses at Ampana Regional General Hospital. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on June 10–20, 2025. The thesis reports 54 nurses sampled from a population of 119 using Slovin’s formula with a 10% error margin and proportional allocation across eight wards, followed by simple random sampling. Workload and performance were measured with 13-item and 30-item questionnaires; Spearman’s rho was used. Moderate workload was reported by 38 nurses (70.4%), light workload by 13 (24.1%), and heavy workload by 3 (5.6%). Performance was moderate in 30 nurses (55.6%) and good in 24 (44.4%). The results report a positive correlation (Spearman’s ρ=0.530, p<0.001). Workload and performance scores were significantly associated.

Abstract

Background: Depressive symptoms and nutritional problems may coexist in later life, but evidence from individual communities is needed to inform local assessment. This study examined depressive symptom and body mass index (BMI) categories among residents of Mongolato Village, Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 64 purposively selected residents assessed in December 2025. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), while nutritional status was evaluated using body mass index (BMI). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: Forty-five respondents were women (70.3%). Recoding identified 47 respondents without depressive symptoms (73.4%), 14 with mild symptoms (21.9%), and three with moderate symptoms (4.7%); none had severe symptoms. Eight respondents were underweight (12.5%) and 56 had normal BMI (87.5%); none had BMI ≥25.0 kg/m². The overall exact test was significant (p = 0.0015). All three moderately symptomatic respondents were underweight. Conclusion: The recoded data indicate an association across depressive symptom categories and recorded BMI categories.

Abstract

Background: Evidence on cinnamon preparations does not establish the benefit of a locally prepared decoction. This study assessed changes in random blood glucose after a seven-day cinnamon decoction intervention among adults with diabetes mellitus. Methods: A one-group pretest–posttest study included 21 purposively selected adults aged 45–63 years at Kota Timur Primary Health Center, Gorontalo, Indonesia. Cinnamon decoction was administered once daily for seven days. Paired differences were assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, followed by a two-sided paired t-test. An exact Wilcoxon signed-rank test accounting for tied ranks was conducted as a sensitivity analysis. Results: Mean random blood glucose decreased from 360.62 (SD 102.22) to 304.62 (SD 136.87) mg/dL. The mean paired reduction was 56.00 mg/dL (95% CI 13.75–98.25), with t(20) = 2.765 and p = 0.012. The Shapiro–Wilk test of paired differences yielded W = 0.927 and p = 0.1225. Nineteen participants (90.5%) had lower follow-up glucose and two (9.5%) had higher glucose. The Wilcoxon sensitivity analysis also detected a difference (W = 33.00, exact p = 0.0028). Conclusion: Random blood glucose was lower after the intervention in most participants. The uncontrolled design and short follow-up do not establish clinical effectiveness or safety.

Abstract

Background: Family involvement is relevant to psychiatric care, but visit frequency is distinct from structured family intervention. This study examined the cross-sectional association between family visit frequency and recorded recovery status among psychiatric inpatients at UPT RSUD Madani, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods: Forty inpatients were selected using purposive sampling in a cross-sectional study conducted from December 18 to 30, 2025. Observation sheets recorded family visit counts and a binary recovery classification. All patients with zero or one visit were classified as less recovered, whereas all patients with two or three visits were classified as recovered. The data were analyzed using the two-sided Fisher–Freeman–Halton exact test. Results: Twenty-three patients (57.5%) received one visit, seven (17.5%) received none, seven (17.5%) received two, and three (7.5%) received three. Ten patients were classified as recovered (25.0%; 95% CI, 14.2%–40.2%), and 30 (75.0%) as less recovered. Aggregate-table analysis indicated an association (p < .001). Conclusion: Visit frequency was associated with recorded recovery status in this sample.

Abstract

Background: Medication adherence is central to type 2 diabetes management, but evidence from Central Sulawesi remains limited. Objective: To explore factors associated with medication adherence among outpatients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This exploratory cross-sectional study used a feasibility sample of 34 patients purposively recruited at Undata General Hospital in March 2024. All 34 invited patients consented, completed the questionnaires, and were analyzed. MMAS-8 scores were classified as adherent (score 6–8) or non-adherent (score <6) for the retained binary analysis. Bivariate associations were assessed using Pearson Chi-square tests. Results: Seventeen participants (50.0%) were adherent. Spiritual well-being showed a bivariate Pearson Chi-square association (p = 0.031), whereas the other examined factors did not reach p <0.05. Conclusion: The findings identify preliminary association between spiritual well-being and medication adherence. The small purposive sample, self-reported measures, and cross-sectional design limit precision and generalizability.

Abstract

Background: Age-appropriate handwashing education is important for school hygiene promotion, but the immediate knowledge gains following brief storytelling-based programs require local evaluation. This study described immediate changes in handwashing knowledge among Indonesian primary schoolchildren following a two-session educational program. Methods: A single-group pretest–posttest study included 49 third- and fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 8 Mamboro. Two 30-minute storytelling sessions with visual aids were delivered on consecutive days. Knowledge was assessed using the same 20-item questionnaire at baseline and after each session. A paired t-test estimated baseline-to-final mean change. Results: Mean knowledge scores increased from 13.35 (SD 2.08) at baseline to 17.37 (SD 1.32) after day one and 19.53 (SD 0.74) after day two. The baseline-to-final mean increase was 6.18 points (95% CI 5.61–6.76; t(48) = 21.68, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The educational program was followed by improved immediate handwashing knowledge. The uncontrolled design and short follow-up limit causal interpretation and conclusions about sustained behavior change.

Abstract

Background: Patients with heart disease may experience depressive symptoms and reduced quality of life, highlighting the need to evaluate brief psychosocial interventions in outpatient care. This study examined short-term changes in depressive symptoms and reported quality of life following a brief mindfulness-based program incorporating psychoeducation and Cardiac-Focused Breathing among cardiac outpatients at Undata Regional Hospital, Palu. Methods: A single-group pretest–posttest study involved 15 heart disease outpatients at Undata Regional Hospital, Palu, recruited consecutively. A 60-minute session comprised psychoeducation, guided Cardiac-Focused Breathing, and reflection, followed by prescribed daily home practice for two weeks. Depression and quality of life were assessed using the BDI-II and WHOQOL-BREF. Pretest–posttest comparisons used the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The reported mean depression score decreased from 23.93 ± 3.77 to 13.47 ± 4.07 (mean change, −10.46 points; p = 0.001). The reported quality-of-life score increased from 66.40 ± 4.60 to 80.27 ± 5.11 (mean change, +13.87 points; p = 0.001). Thirteen participants (86.7%) had directional changes in both outcomes. Conclusion: Lower depression scores and higher reported quality-of-life scores were observed after the program. Controlled studies with longer follow-up are needed.
