Abstract

Introduction: Students' constant use of digital resources has exacerbated neck ailments within a university setting, but the exact extent and reasons remain ambiguous. Aims: This review aims to consolidate evidence on prevalence, determinants, and interventions for use in policy frameworks. Methods: Seventeen empirical studies from January 2019 to May 2025 were included in the 350 studies screened. The researchers considered quantitative or mixed-methods studies focusing on TNS (Text Neck Syndrome), FHP (Forward Head Posturing), UCS (Upper Cross Syndrome), or other associated aches in the neck among tertiary students. Two reviewers charted the data, and themes from the data were derived. Results: The summary included fourteen cross-sectional surveys, two randomized controlled trials, and one mixed-methods thesis from nine countries in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, with 7928 participants. Overall, prevalence ranged from 45% to 70%. The most extensive sample (n = 2,552, China) demonstrated UCS of 59.7%, while six medical colleges in Saudi Arabia reported TNS at 68.1%, with 19% having moderate-severe disability. Having four to five hours of screen exposure doubled to triple the risk. However, those with addiction-level behaviors elevated the odds nine-fold (adjusted OR=9.14) and disability (r=0.33) in comparison to non-affected peers. Conclusions: Psychosocial stress, alongside being female, consistently added to the susceptibility, while poor ergonomics and lower aerobic capacity provided the mechanical persuaders. Two culturally distinctive four-week exercise trials effectively reduced NDI scores by 60-90% and normalized cranio-vertebral angle.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition remains a major concern among children in disadvantaged communities in the Philippines. This study examined the effectiveness of aquaponics gardening in supporting weight management and promoting healthy eating among undernourished children. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test design was implemented with 30 children aged 6–12 years in Bocaue, Bulacan, identified as undernourished (BMI-for-age < 5th percentile). Over eight weeks, subjects engaged in aquaponics gardening, nutrition education, and meal preparation using harvested produce. Data were gathered through BMI measurements, a validated Likert-scale survey, and 24-hour dietary recalls. Paired t-tests evaluated pre- and post-intervention changes. Results: Significant improvements were observed in weight (23.4 kg to 25.1 kg) and BMI (13.5 to 14.3) (p < 0.001). Subjects also demonstrated greater nutritional knowledge, more positive perceptions of vegetables, and healthier eating behaviors, including increased vegetable intake. Conclusion: Aquaponics gardening is a feasible, sustainable approach to improving child nutrition and dietary habits. Its hands-on design fosters learning and self-efficacy, supporting long-term food security and health promotion in low-resource communities.

Abstract

Background: Marriage is a sacred moment when two lovebirds make a sacred promise. The wedding moment should be carried out by two adults. However, in reality, there are groups in society who think that early marriage is a solution to a problem. The prevalence of marriage in Indonesia in 2019 was 10.18% while in Pasuruan Regency, early marriages amounted to 708 in 2022, the highest area is in the Pasuruan coast. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between emotional maturity, effective communication and marital satisfaction among young women who have married early. Methods: This study was located in Kawisrejo village, Pasuruan, which is included in the coastal area. The sample of this study was young women who had early marriages, with a sample size of 100 wives, this study using total sampling. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. Data analysis used the t-test and multiple linear regression. Results: The results show p < 0.05 indicates a significant difference. Respondents with high emotional maturity and effective communication tend to have significantly higher marital satisfaction. Emotional maturity and effective communication simultaneously have a strong and significant influence on marital satisfaction. Conclusions: Marital satisfaction is a subjective feeling felt by couples. The results show that the age of husband and wife when married has a positive relationship with marital satisfaction, meaning that the more mature the age of husband and wife when married, the higher the level of marital satisfaction.

Abstract

Background: The integration of digital mental health technologies presents transformative opportunities for addressing service gaps in underserved and resource-limited areas. Purpose: The objective was to identify, evaluate, and summarize peer-reviewed studies that explored both opportunities and challenges associated with digital mental health interventions in rural, remote, and resource-limited settings. Methods: This systematic review synthesizes evidence from 10 peer-reviewed studies to evaluate the effectiveness, accessibility, and challenges of implementing telemedicine, mobile health (mHealth), SMS-based interventions, and digital platforms across diverse global contexts. Result: Findings reveal that digital tools significantly improve access to care by overcoming geographic barriers, reducing stigma, and enabling remote treatment delivery. However, challenges such as inadequate digital infrastructure, data privacy concerns, and limited digital literacy hinder equitable adoption. The study further explores agronursing defined as therapeutic agricultural practices as a complementary, community-centered approach to supporting mental well-being, particularly in rural settings. Conclusions: By combining technological innovation with nature-based therapies, this review highlights pathways toward more inclusive and sustainable mental health service delivery. These insights are critical for policymakers and healthcare providers aiming to address global mental health disparities through context-sensitive solutions.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion. Dyslipidemia, especially low High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), contributes significantly to cardiovascular disease risk in T2DM. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) serves as the standard biomarker for long-term glycemic control. Previous studies suggested an inverse relationship between HDL and HbA1c, but results remain inconsistent, and limited evidence exists from Indonesian primary care settings. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the association between HDL cholesterol and HbA1c levels in T2DM patients at a primary healthcare center in Batu City, Indonesia. Methods: An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional retrospective design was conducted. Secondary data were obtained from medical records of T2DM patients at Puskesmas Sisir, Batu City, in July 2025. A total of 79 patients fulfilling inclusion criteria were included through total sampling. Laboratory results of HDL (mg/dL) and HbA1c (%) were analyzed. Spearman’s rank correlation test was used, with significance set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: Among the 79 respondents, most were aged 45–65 years (50.6%) and female (77.2%). The mean HDL level was 45.3 ± 8.2 mg/dL, while the mean HbA1c level was 8.2 ± 1.5%. Correlation analysis indicated a weak negative association between HDL and HbA1c (r = –0.132, p = 0.246). Although higher HDL levels tended to correspond with lower HbA1c values, the relationship was not statistically significant. Conclusions: These findings underscore the critical role of community nurses in integrating routine HbA1c and lipid profile monitoring into T2DM follow-up visits, promoting holistic cardiovascular risk assessment even when individual biomarkers show weak associations.

Abstract

Uncontrolled hypertension due to a lifestyle that lacks healthy physical activity caused complications in the form of a stroke. The study aimed to describe the effect of ergonomic exercise in community nursing care on the blood pressure in rural areas. The research design uses a case study of a community with hypertension. There are 34 respondents in the aggregate of adults and older people. Data analysis uses nursing care with the Indonesian Nursing Diagnosis, Outcome, and Interventions Standard. Thirty-two respondents showed a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (p-value <0.001), and 16 respondents indicated a substantial reduction in diastolic blood pressure (p-value 0.005). Thirty-three respondents experienced increased scores from pre-test to post-test (p-value <0.001). Public health development interventions can improve community health status through ergonomic exercise. Ergonomic exercise provides complementary benefits in managing hypertension among adults and older people by decreasing blood pressure and minimizing stroke risk.

Abstract

Background: Dating behavior among adolescents today leads to risky dating behavior that has an impact on premarital sexual behavior. Teenagers are curious about new things and can be influenced by their partners, environment, and peers. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the role of peers and dating behavior in adolescents. Methods: This research design is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The population at State Senior High School "X" Jember was 121 students, with a sample size of 93 students. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The independent variable is the role of peers, and the dependent variable is dating behavior. These two variables were measured using a questionnaire on the role of peers and dating behavior. Univariate analysis was performed with frequency distribution. Bivariate analysis using Fisher's Exact test. Results: The results showed that almost all peer roles were in the positive category, with a percentage of 84.9%. Most respondents showed non-risky dating behavior, 72.0%. Fisher's Exact test results show that the p-value (0.000) is smaller than α (0.05). This means the alternative hypothesis is accepted and indicates a relationship between peer roles and adolescent dating behavior. Conclusions: Positive peer roles tend to lead to non-risky dating behavior. Therefore, adolescents should be more careful in choosing peers to avoid engaging in risky dating behavior.

Abstract

The Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) is an essential tool for enhancing patient safety in the operating room; however, its implementation can be influenced by nurses’ workload, particularly in the Central Surgical Installation (IBS) at Nahdlatul Ulama Islamic Hospital (RSI NU) Demak. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design involving 15 nurses, with data collected through a workload questionnaire and SSC implementation observations, followed by univariate and bivariate analysis using Spearman’s correlation. Results showed that the majority of nurses experienced a light workload (67%), with a smaller proportion in the moderate category and very few in the heavy category, possibly influenced by long work experience (>20 years) causing some nurses to perceive routine tasks as light. Most SSC implementations were classified as good (60%), with a smaller number rated as fairly good, and very few rated as poor. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant positive correlation between nurses’ workload and SSC implementation (rs = 0.549, p = 0.034). These findings suggest that even among nurses with higher workloads, SSC implementation remains good, likely influenced by extensive work experience, professional motivation, and a strong safety culture in the IBS. Nurses with lower SSC performance may benefit from targeted refresher training or additional supervision to ensure the quality and safety of surgical care is maintained.

Abstract

Background: Agronursing plays an important role in improving health services in rural area. Currently, health services in rural area face various challenges. Technology devices can help nurse to provide community-based health services in this area. This article aims to explore the existing literature related to the use of technology in nursing practice to answer three main questions: (1) what technology devices are commonly used to provide community-based health services, (2) what are the advantages and disadvantages of each devices (3) what are the benefits of these devices in agnonursing practice. Methods: The author conducted an article search using three databases, namely science direct, pubmed, and proquest using “Technology Device AND Nursing Practice” and “Robotic Device AND Nursing Practice” as the keywords. The inclusion criteria for the articles were (1) research articles from Randomized controlled trial and quasi experiment, (2) published between 2020-2025, (3) Published in English while the exclusion criteria was research conducted in hospital setting. Results: The author analyzed 28 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Author found that commonly used devices are monitoring system, robotic devices, mobile app, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and web-based health intervention. However, these devices have their own advantages and disadvantages that can be considered when applying them in agronursing practice. Conclusions: Digital health technologies can enhance nursing services in agrarian communities. Tailoring these tools to rural needs is vital. Further research is needed to compare which type of device is most effective and efficient in improving agronursing practice.

Abstract

Introduction: The concept of healthy aging is strongly connected to self-determination theory, with older individuals engaging their sense of autonomy, skills, and social bonds to improve their overall quality of life. Aims: This review aims to determine the picture of self-determination in the older adults. Methods: Seven relevant study articles between 2011-2024 from PubMed, SpringerLink and BMC Geriatric were thematically review. Results: Self-determination in older adults, which includes autonomy, competence, and social connectedness, can decline due to factors such as physical frailty, cognitive impairment, and reliance on assistance. Intrinsic motivation and the fulfillment of psychological needs are key drivers in encouraging active participation of older adults in various activities. Beyond supporting independence, self-determination also directly enhances the physical, emotional, and social quality of life in older adults. Conclusions: Physical frailty, worsening health conditions, and cognitive decline may lead to a decrease in self-determination among older adults, yet their intrinsic motivation still plays a crucial role in driving active engagement. Recognizing these factors is vital for creating interventions that promote autonomy and enhance the overall well-being of elderly individuals.
