Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between pain perception and maternal coping during childbirth through an in-depth qualitative literature review. The primary objective is to synthesize contemporary research findings to understand how physiological, and social factors interact in shaping women’s childbirth experiences. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through a systematic review of scholarly books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and official reports published between 2015 and 2025. The analysis involved several stages—data identification, reduction, thematic categorization, and inductive interpretation—to uncover recurring concepts and relationships across the literature. The findings reveal that maternal self-efficacy, emotional support, and non-pharmacological interventions such as breathing exercises, massage, and music therapy significantly reduce perceived pain and enhance coping abilities. Conversely, fear and lack of confidence amplify pain perception and emotional distress. The study highlights the biopsychosocial nature of childbirth, aligning with theoretical frameworks such as Lazarus and Folkman’s stress-coping model and Olza’s neuro-psycho-social model of labor. The results underscore the importance of holistic, woman-centered maternity care that integrates emotional, social, and physical dimensions of childbirth. The research contributes theoretically by expanding understanding of pain-coping interactions and practically by recommending integrative care models that promote maternal empowerment and satisfaction. Future studies are encouraged to employ longitudinal and cross-cultural approaches to deepen insights into the evolving dynamics of coping during labor and postpartum adaptation.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran refleksi diri perawat sebagai strategi dalam meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan keperawatan melalui penguatan kompetensi profesional, etika, empati, dan regulasi emosi. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode studi pustaka (library research), penelitian ini mengkaji berbagai literatur ilmiah terbitan tahun 2015–2025 yang relevan dengan praktik refleksi diri dalam keperawatan. Data dikumpulkan melalui penelusuran artikel akademik, buku, dan laporan penelitian menggunakan kriteria inklusi yang menekankan relevansi tematik dan validitas sumber. Analisis data dilakukan melalui proses identifikasi tema, reduksi data, kategorisasi konsep, dan penarikan kesimpulan induktif untuk memperoleh pemahaman komprehensif terhadap fenomena yang diteliti. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa refleksi diri berkontribusi signifikan terhadap peningkatan kompetensi klinis, efikasi diri, keterlibatan kerja, serta perilaku etis dan empatik perawat. Selain itu, refleksi diri membantu perawat mengelola stres kerja, memperbaiki pengambilan keputusan, dan meningkatkan keselamatan pasien. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya integrasi refleksi diri dalam pendidikan keperawatan dan praktik klinis melalui pelatihan terstruktur, supervisi reflektif, serta dukungan institusional yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini berimplikasi pada pengembangan model pembelajaran reflektif dalam kurikulum keperawatan dan kebijakan peningkatan mutu layanan kesehatan. Dengan demikian, refleksi diri dapat dipandang sebagai fondasi penting dalam membangun profesionalisme perawat dan kualitas pelayanan yang holistik.

Abstract

This study examined the glycemic response of healthy university students after consuming rice, bulgur, and extracts of fenugreek, cinnamon, and coriander. Blood glucose was measured at seven time points: baseline (0 minutes) and at 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 minutes. The research was conducted on five groups of students, each receiving one of the test foods or extracts in standardized amounts (300 g of rice or bulgur and 300 ml of each extract). At the same time, all participants remained seated and inactive during monitoring to ensure controlled experimental conditions. The findings showed distinct differences among the tested substances, reflecting their varying nutritional and metabolic characteristics. Rice produced the most significant rise in blood glucose, especially between 20 and 40 minutes, consistent with its high glycemic index and rapid starch digestion. Bulgur demonstrated a slower, more moderate increase, with glucose levels rising gradually and then declining steadily from minute 80, due to its fiber content and coarse grain structure, which slows absorption. The plant extracts showed markedly lower responses than the starchy foods. Fenugreek extract produced the lowest rise, maintaining minimal changes over 120 minutes due to its viscous fibers and insulin-enhancing compounds. Cinnamon extract generated a moderate peak and approached baseline values between 100 and 120 minutes, while coriander extract showed a low, stable response with no sharp increases. Overall, the results demonstrate that the type of consumed substance strongly shapes postprandial glycemic behavior, with whole grains and plant extracts promoting a more stable and less pronounced response than refined starchy foods.

Abstract

Stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability in the world. In addition to physical post-stroke problems, psychosocial issues including anxiety and family support significantly affect stroke patients' quality of life. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how anxiety and family support affect stroke patients' quality of life. Methods: This research is quantitative. The research design used in this study is cross-sectional. Questionnaires about anxiety, quality of life, and family support were used to gather data. 58 stroke patients who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were chosen for this study using a total sample technique. This investigation was carried out in the Stroke Room at X Hospital in Blitar between February 24 and March 24, 2025. The Spearman rho correlation test was employed by the researchers. Results: According to 18 respondents (31.1%), the majority of families did not help stroke patients, and they had a low quality of life. There is a correlation between stroke patients' quality of life and family support, as indicated by the P-value of 0.001 and rho of 0.239. Thirteen respondents (22.3%) reported having a low quality of life and experiencing extreme anxiety. A P-value of 0.012 and a rho of 0.124 indicated a correlation between anxiety and quality of life. Conclusion: Anxiety levels and family support can have an impact on stroke patients' quality of life. While high levels of anxiety might lower a patient's quality of life, strong levels of family support can enhance it.
