Abstract

Breast Milk (BM) is the primary source of nutrition for newborns. Breast milk can be provided from birth, starting in the hospital and continuing throughout home care. Exclusive breastfeeding is rare among low birth weight (LBW) babies. This is due to parents' or caregivers' concerns about their baby's weight. Parents prefer to provide supplemental foods in addition to breast milk to accelerate weight gain. Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies who are given formula milk or other foods before 6 months of age are more susceptible to illness, making them more susceptible to illness. Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies can have serious health consequences, including stunting. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of breastfeeding on stunting in low birth weight babies. A cross-sectional approach was used with purposive sampling. The results and discussion in this study revealed that not all babies were exclusively breastfed; some were supplemented with formula milk. Breast milk and formula milk intake affect the baby's nutrient absorption, thereby influencing their nutritional status. It appears that all LBW babies who do not receive breast milk will experience stunting in their growth and development.

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a critical life-saving skill that requires not only technical competency but also knowledge and critical decision-making. Assessing these competencies through reliable and valid tools is essential for evaluating training outcomes and ensuring preparedness of learners. This study aimed to test the reliability and validity of a newly developed CPR questionnaire consisting of three sections: Knowledge (10 items), Critical Thinking (10 items), and Skill Development (10 items). Data were collected from 60 participants and analyzed using Kuder-Richardson Formula-20 (KR-20) and test-retest method for dichotomous items, Cronbach’s alpha for Likert-type items, item analysis (difficulty and discrimination indices), Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) for construct validity, and inter-scale correlations for convergent validity. Results showed high reliability coefficients across all sections (Knowledge KR-20 = 0.945, Knowledge (test-retest method) = 0.97, Critical Thinking KR-20 = 0.925, Critical Thinking (test-retest method) = 0.99, and Skill Development α = 0.967). Item analysis indicated moderate to high difficulty with strong discrimination indices, and no item was flagged for poor performance. The Skill Development scale showed acceptable sampling adequacy (KMO = 0.717) with evidence of strong inter-item correlations. Convergent validity was supported by strong correlations between Knowledge, Critical Thinking, and Skill scales (r = 0.84–0.94). The study concludes that the CPR questionnaire is a highly reliable and valid instrument for measuring CPR competencies. Recommendations include maintaining the items, revising overly easy critical thinking questions, and reducing redundancy in the skill section for efficiency.

Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections remain global health issues which cause millions morbidity and mortality. Women of reproductive age represent one of the vulnerable groups, as limited knowledge can affect sexual behavior and elevate the risk of transmission.  This study seeks to examine the determinants influencing the knowledge of women of reproductive age regarding sexually transmitted infections. The research employed a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 115 respondent. The sample consisted of 54 participants. Purposive sampling was used as the sampling technique, and a questionnaire served as the research instrument. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank test. The findings indicated that age and education did not show a significant association with the level of knowledge (p > 0.000), whereas access to information demonstrated a significant relationship with knowledge about sexually transmitted infections in the working area of Kedungrejo Public Health Center. The knowledge level of women of reproductive age was largely influenced by the availability and accessibility of relevant and up-to-date information. These findings indicate that older age or higher education does not necessarily correspond with increased knowledge about this disease if not supported by adequate information access. Conversely, individuals with good access to information tend to have higher knowledge levels, regardless of their age or education.

Abstract

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an essential component in preventing exposure to hazardous substances and workplace accidents in laboratories. However, compliance among laboratory personnel in using PPE remains suboptimal. One of the factors influencing compliance is the level of knowledge and individual attitudes toward the importance of PPE use. This study aims to analyse the correlation between knowledge and attitude with PPE compliance among laboratory staff at RSUD Bangil. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample was determined using a total sampling method, involving 24 laboratory staff members. Knowledge and attitude data were collected using questionnaires, while compliance data were obtained through direct observation. Data were analysed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the Chi-Square test and Spearman correlation applied. The results showed that most respondents had good knowledge (75%), yet only 50% demonstrated compliance with PPE use. Additionally, the majority of respondents exhibited a negative attitude toward PPE (54.2%). Bivariate analysis revealed a significant correlation between knowledge and compliance (p=0.018) as well as between attitude and compliance (p=0.004). In conclusion, knowledge and attitude significantly influence PPE compliance. Better knowledge and a positive attitude toward PPE use are associated with higher compliance levels. Therefore, strategies to enhance knowledge and foster positive attitudes are essential to improving occupational safety in laboratory settings Keywords : :knowledge, attitude, compliance, personal protective equipment, occupational safety

Abstract

Nurses are the cornerstone of healthcare systems, responsible for delivering nursing care, ensuring patient safety, improving satisfaction, and maintainingcontinuity of medical services. This study aimed to examine the effect of workload, motivation, and compensation on the productivity of 117 inpatient nurses at Gambiran Regional General Hospital. The study design was quantitative, cross-sectional, where the independent and dependent variables were measured simultaneously. The results of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test showed a non-normal distribution (sig = 0.00 < 0.05), so the correlation analysis used the non-parametric Spearman Rho test. The results showed that the three independent variables had a positive and significant effect on the productivity of inpatient nurses at Gambiran Regional General Hospital with significance values of 0.018, 0.000, and 0.050, respectively. Motivation proved to be the strongest predictor with the highest correlation coefficient (0.360), followed by workload (0.246) and compensation (0.205). Nurse productivity is a synergistic result of strong motivation, optimal workload management, and a fair compensation system. Managerial implications suggest a focus on performance-based compensation evaluation and strengthening motivation.

Observational cross-sectional survey was was conducted at Gambiran Regional General Hospital, Kediri City, in June 2025. The study population was 117 nurses while the sample was 92 inpatient nurses, selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research variables were training, career development, and job satisfaction. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rho test and the Generalized Linear Model (GLM).The analysis showed that training significantly influenced job satisfaction with a correlation value of 0.362 (sig = 0.000), and career development also had a significant effect with a correlation value of 0.464 (sig = 0.000). The GLM test showed that career development (sig= 0.003; B = 0.463) and training (sig = 0.027; B = 0.295) both significantly influenced job satisfaction. Training and career development positively contributed to nurses' job satisfaction. Appropriate training improved skills and confidence, while career development created hope and motivation for a better future on the job. These results indicate that hospital management needs to strengthen training and career development programs to improve nurse job satisfaction and performance.

This study aims to determine the factors that influence the implementation of the tobacco prohibition policy to people under the age of 21 by seller in North Oba District. This type of research used a cross-sectional approach. This study used a sample of 73 individuals, using simple random sampling. The independent variables were knowledge, attitudes, punishment and policy dissemination. The dependent variable was policy implementation. The results of the study indicate a relationship between knowledge variables and policy implementation (p = 0.001). There is a relationship between attitude variables and policy implementation (p = 0.005). There is a relationship between punishment variables and policy implementation (p = 0.000). There is a relationship between policy dissemination variables and policy implementation (p = 0.000). Merchant knowledge and attitudes towards the regulation prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to people under the age of 21 are still relatively low, so the practice of selling cigarettes to minors still often occurs in North Oba District.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Type II requires consistent self-care to maintain an optimal quality of life. However, DM patients often neglect self-care when they feel their condition is improving, potentially leading to a decline in their quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-care practices and the quality of life of DM Type II patients in Putuk Hamlet, Banaran Village, Kandangan District, Kediri Regency. This study used a correlational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 38 respondents selected using the simple random sampling technique from the population of DM Type II patients in the area. The independent variable was self-care and the dependent variable was quality of life. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman test. The results of the study showed that the better the self-care implemented, the higher the quality of life of DM Type II patients. The Spearman test confirmed a significant relationship between self-care and the quality of life of diabetes mellitus patients, with a value of  = 0,000 (< α =0,05). There is a significant relationship between self-care and the quality of life of DM Type II patients. The implication is that the Kandangan Community Health Center is advised to enhance health education efforts, such as providing leaflets on self-care, as practical guides that can help patients consistently apply self-care at home to improve their quality of life.
