Abstract

Baby blues syndrome, while often considered mild and self-limiting, may increase the risk of postpartum depression if left unrecognized. This study aimed to examine the association between baby blues and the incidence of depression in postpartum women. This cross- sectional study was conducted at Mutiara Bunda Hospital, Padang City, from June to November 2024. A total of 178 postpartum women were selected using simple random sampling. The inclusion criteria were women 4–6 weeks postpartum. Women with a history of psychiatric illness, current use of psychotropic medication, major obstetric complications, or neonatal death were excluded. Baby blues syndrome and postpartum depression were assessed using the Kennerley–Gath Maternity Blues Questionnaire (KBQ) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Of 178 participants, 95 (53.4%) experienced baby blues and 49 (27.5%) were identified as having postpartum depression. Among those with baby blues, 38.9% developed postpartum depression, compared to 14.5% among those without baby blues. Chi-square analysis revealed a significant association between baby blues and postpartum depression (p < .001). The findings indicate that baby blues syndrome is significantly associated with an increased risk of postpartum depression. Early identification and monitoring of baby blues are critical in preventing the progression to more severe maternal mental health disorders. Integrating baby blues screening into routine postpartum care may improve mental health outcomes in maternal health services.

Abstract

Spiritual care is a vital aspect of holistic nursing, especially in critical care environments such as high care units (HCUs). While nurses' knowledge and attitudes are thought to influence the delivery of spiritual care, there is limited evidence in HCU settings. This study aimed to explore the relationship between nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and their implementation of spiritual care in HCUs. A cross-sectional correlational design was employed, involving 30 nurses working in hospitals in Padang City. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that assessed nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and spiritual care practices. The Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale (NSCTS) was utilized to measure the frequency of spiritual care practices. Descriptive statistics and chi-squared tests were applied for data analysis, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results showed that 53.3% of nurses had good knowledge, 70.0% had positive attitudes, and 60.0% reported providing good spiritual care practices. Chi-square analysis revealed significant associations between knowledge and spiritual care practice (p = 0.031) and attitude and spiritual care practice (p = 0.012). These findings emphasize the importance of enhancing nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward spiritual care through targeted training, supportive policies, and the integration of spiritual care competencies into nursing curricula.

Abstract

This article examines prominent concerns about using telehealth by nursing practitioners in the archipelago. Implementation of telehealth, defined as technologies that enable patients and clinicians to exchange information about their health state remotely. Telehealth was initially developed to reach rural and underserved populations, providing basic care. This article discusses the advantages and obstacles of telehealth for nursing practitioners in the archipelago. Many articles indicate that the use of telehealth for practicing nurses presents numerous barriers, including personal barriers. Conversely, telehealth offers improved patient access, cost savings, and better outcomes through increased patient engagement. Therefore, nurses preparing for this need to be prepared with telehealth education, practical experience, and consistent integration into their professional development.

Abstract

Routine monitoring of larvae is one of the efforts to interrupt the chain of DHF transmission in Tanjungpinang City. There is a requirement for innovation and establishment of android and web-based applications to enhance entomological surveillance. The research aimed to evaluate the technological-based development in enhancing entomological surveillance programs. Research and development design was used in this study with the Prototyping Method approach. Data was collected from interviews and document reviews. The data were used as the basis for making application prototypes, which will be tried to see shortcomings and then revised using a questionnaire. A total of 30 study samples were accidentally collected. The evaluation of the generated application was determined by variables such as usability, reliability, functionality, efficiency, maintainability, and portability. The research instrument deployed a questionnaire to get a quantitative value using a Likert scale for each variable, which was subsequently examined by univariate analysis. The study successfully developed a model for reporting mosquito larvae monitoring using an Android and web-based system, with the name of a CIBERNATIK android application. After carrying out testing both through questionnaires and interviews, the results of the feasibility of the application were excellent (83,3% usable, 83,3% reliable, 76,7% functional, 83,3% efficient, 70% maintainable, and 56% portable). CONCLUSION: The user can effectively implement the application, but further development is needed to integrate it into the Health Office program. The application serves as a database for real-time and easily accessible information on the density of larvae. Additionally, it functions as an early alert system for dengue control in Tanjungpinang City.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition during the third trimester of pregnancy that significantly impacts maternal quality of life. While physical activity is recommended, context-specific evidence regarding the effectiveness of standardized gym ball training in primary care settings, particularly in Indonesia, remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized gym ball training program in reducing low back pain intensity among third-trimester pregnant women attending the Lubuk Alung Public Health Center, West Sumatra. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The study involved 16 third-trimester pregnant women who were selected through purposive sampling. Participants underwent a four-week intervention comprising eight sessions of supervised gym ball exercises (25–30 minutes per session). Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-test. The baseline mean LBP intensity was 5.06 (SD = 0.68), indicating moderate pain. Post-intervention, the mean score significantly decreased to 1.19 (SD = 0.40), indicating mild pain (p < 0.001). The mean reduction was 3.87 points, representing a clinically significant improvement of approximately 76.5%. Standardized gym ball training is effective in significantly reducing low back pain intensity in third-trimester pregnant women. The intervention is feasible and safe for implementation in primary care settings as a non-pharmacological approach to improve maternal well-being.

Abstract

Anemia remains a critical public health issue among adolescent girls in Indonesia, particularly in semi-urban areas where data are limited. This cross-sectional study examined the association between knowledge, compliance with iron supplementation, and anemia prevalence among 60 menstruating adolescent girls aged 12–18 years in Kurao Pagang, Padang City, from August to September 2024. Data were collected via structured questionnaires assessing knowledge and compliance, alongside hemoglobin measurements to determine anemia status. Results showed that 63% of participants had high knowledge, and 68% reported compliance with supplementation, yet 25% were anemic. Anemia prevalence was significantly lower in girls with high knowledge (15.7%) compared to those with low knowledge (40.9%), with high knowledge reducing anemia risk (OR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.08–0.84, p = 0.024). Compliance was even more strongly associated with reduced anemia prevalence (14.6% vs. 47.4%; OR = 0.12, 95% CI: 0.04–0.37, p < 0.001). Despite these associations, anemia persists, indicating additional factors such as diet and socioeconomic status contribute to its prevalence. Integrated educational and supplementation interventions are vital to effectively reduce anemia among adolescent girls in similar semi-urban settings.

Abstract

In Indonesia, anemia remains a pressing public health problem among adolescent girls, with a prevalence rate of 32% based on the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2018. This highlights anemia as an ongoing issue that requires continuous attention. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable because iron needs increase during growth, and blood loss occurs regularly through menstruation. Inadequate intake of nutritious foods, poor adherence to iron supplementation (TTD), limited knowledge, and economic barriers may further contribute to this problem. This cross-sectional study investigated the determinants of anemia among adolescent girls attending a public vocational high school in Tebet, Jakarta, Indonesia. A total of 221 Grade 11 students were included through total sampling. Anemia status (Hb < 12 g/dL) was obtained from puskesmas screening, while data on knowledge, nutritional status, menstrual pattern, maternal education, socioeconomic status, and iron supplement (TTD) intake were collected via a structured questionnaire. Chi-square analysis revealed significant associations between anemia and knowledge level, menstrual pattern, nutritional status, adherence to TTD, maternal education level, and socioeconomic status (p < 0.05). The findings emphasize the need for strengthened school-based anemia prevention through nutrition education, routine Hb screening, and parent-involved adherence monitoring, particularly among low-income students. The findings indicate the need for schools and primary health centers (puskesmas) to strengthen education on anemia and adolescent nutrition, implement routine screening (nutritional status and menstrual pattern), and improve adherence to TTD through regular mentoring that involves parents, particularly mothers, and targeted support for students from low-income households.

Abstract

Elementary school students in earthquake-prone regions often lack adequate preparedness knowledge due to limited engagement with conventional learning materials. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of animated videos in enhancing earthquake disaster preparedness knowledge among elementary school students. We employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study was conducted in July 2025 at SDN 23 Pasir Sebelah, Padang, selecting 50 students from grades III to V using purposive sampling. Participants received a 15-minute educational intervention that used a multisensory animated video. Students’ knowledge significantly improved following the intervention, as revealed by a paired t-test (p < 0.001). The animated video effectively communicated key concepts, including earthquake causes, early warning signs, and self-rescue techniques, resulting in a substantial increase in post-test scores compared to baseline scores. Animated video media are highly effective educational tools that align with the cognitive learning needs of elementary school students. Educational policymakers could explore integrating animated simulations into the national disaster mitigation curriculum to develop a generation that is better equipped to handle emergencies.

Abstract

Adolescents with Special Needs often face barriers to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information, and parents are key sources of guidance. This study evaluated the effect of audio-visual SRH education on parental knowledge in a special needs school setting. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest study was conducted at a Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB) or special needs school in rural area Indonesia (January-July 2023). Fifty parents were recruited by purposive sampling from a population of 96. Knowledge was measured using a structured questionnaire before and after an audio-visual education session. Differences in scores were tested using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (alpha= 0.05). Most parents (68.0%) had previously received SRH information. Mean knowledge increased from 13.38 ± 3.016 at pretest to 19.52 ± 2.53 at posttest. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a significant improvement (Z = -6.10, p < 0.001), with 49 participants improving and one unchanged (effect size r=0.86). Audio-visual education was associated with a significant improvement in parental SRH knowledge. Integrating multimedia-based education into school-parent collaboration may strengthen SRH support for adolescents with special needs.

Abstract

Microplastic pollution poses a critical global public health challenge, with Indonesia as a major contributor. While ecological impacts are studied, direct human health effects remain underexplored locally. Evidence shows widespread microplastic contamination in essential resources, leading to human exposure and potential health risks like oxidative stress and endocrine disruption. Current Indonesian research is fragmented, lacking standardized methodologies and comprehensive health risk assessments. An integrated EcoHealth approach, combining environmental monitoring with clinical toxicology and public health frameworks, is imperative. Establishing standardized protocols and probabilistic risk models is crucial for effective policy development and safeguarding Indonesia's public health and blue economy.
