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.
