Abstract

This literature review aims to explore the transformation of community-based emergency response systems in the digital era, with a focus on technological innovation, social preparedness, and adaptive intervention models. Using a systematic review approach, 38 articles published between 2019 and 2024 were analyzed from databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The findings indicate that digital applications, AI-based early warning systems, and virtual reality-based emergency training have significantly enhanced community responsiveness. Moreover, social factors such as local leadership, solidarity, and participatory simulation play a vital role in strengthening adaptive capacity. This review proposes an integrative socio-technical model that combines digital tools with community participation to improve preparedness and resilience. The implications suggest the need for inclusive and sustainable community disaster response frameworks supported by policy and cross-sectoral collaboration.

Abstract

The low level of public awareness regarding hand hygiene has become a contributing factor to the spread of infectious diseases transmitted through contact. This condition has sparked innovation in the development of hand sanitizer products made from natural ingredients, which are not only effective in killing germs but also safe and environmentally friendly. One promising natural ingredient is pineapple peel (Ananas comosus L.), which is generally considered organic waste. Pineapple peel contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and the enzyme bromelain, all of which possess antibacterial properties. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of pineapple peel extract against the growth of Escherichia coli and assess its feasibility as an active ingredient in spray hand sanitizer formulations. The research method involved preparing spray hand sanitizer with varying concentrations of pineapple peel extract: 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%. Antibacterial activity was tested using the disk diffusion method to measure the inhibition zone against E. coli. Additional evaluations included physical quality tests such as pH, spreadability, homogeneity, organoleptic properties, skin irritation test, storage stability, and consumer preference. The results showed that the 90% concentration formulation had the highest antibacterial effectiveness, with an inhibition zone of 22 mm. This formulation was also the most preferred by respondents due to its strong and fresh aroma, appealing color, and pleasant texture on the skin. All formulations had pH values within the safe range (5.5–7), did not cause skin irritation, and demonstrated stability during storage. In conclusion, pineapple peel extract is effective as a natural active ingredient in spray hand sanitizer formulations. This product not only exhibits strong antibacterial activity against E. coli but is also safe, stable, and presents an environmentally friendly alternative to support improved public hand hygiene.

Abstract

Shallot (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum) is a horticultural plant that holds significant economic value and therapeutic potential. This study aims to examine the potential of shallots as an immunomodulatory and anticancer agent based on a literature review of various experimental studies. The main bioactive compounds in shallots, such as quercetin, flavonoids, saponins, and sulfur-containing compounds, have been shown to modulate the immune system and inhibit cancer cell growth. As an immunomodulator, shallot extracts have been found to enhance phagocytic activity, stimulate immune cell proliferation, and balance the Th1/Th2 immune response. On the other hand, its anticancer activity is realized through cell cycle inhibition, apoptosis induction, and cytotoxic effects on various cancer cell types, including breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. This review was conducted by analyzing experimental in vitro and in vivo studies published between 2014 and 2024. The synthesis results indicate that shallots hold strong potential as a supportive therapy for immune-related diseases and cancer. However, further clinical trials and toxicological studies are needed to confirm their efficacy and safety as a natural-based therapeutic agent.

Abstract

Prenatal exercise is a program designed specifically for pregnant women, featuring movements tailored to their condition, aimed at reducing discomforts during pregnancy and preparing them both physically and mentally for childbirth. The lack of awareness among pregnant women regarding prenatal exercise is likely a contributing factor to their limited participation. This study aims to explore the level of knowledge pregnant women have about prenatal exercise at Alisah Clinic, Medan, during the period of March to May 2025. The research employed primary data collection using a total sampling technique, with questionnaires as the instrument, involving 30 pregnant women as subjects. Data analysis was conducted using frequency distribution in percentages. The results showed that the majority of respondents with knowledge about prenatal exercise were aged 20–35 years, accounting for 19 individuals (63.4%), while the minority were aged over 35 years, totaling 3 individuals (10%). Based on education level, most respondents had completed high school (14 individuals or 46.6%), and the fewest had completed elementary school (3 individuals or 10%). Regarding occupation, the majority were housewives (17 individuals or 26.6%), and the minority were private employees (3 individuals or 3.3%). It is recommended that Alisah Clinic, Medan, use this scientific paper as a reference and input for midwifery practice, particularly in providing health education to pregnant women. Future researchers are advised to conduct broader studies with more comprehensive methods and variables to improve and refine this research.

Abstract

The toddler period is a golden stage of child development influenced by several factors, including maternal knowledge in parenting. Working mothers face challenges in balancing professional responsibilities with caregiving roles. This study aimed to examine the relationship between working mothers’ knowledge and the growth and development of toddlers at Kasih Ibu Sejati Clinic, Sosa District, Padang Lawas Regency. This research used a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 42 working mothers with toddlers. The results showed that most working mothers had good knowledge (38.1%) and most toddlers were in the good developmental category (64.3%). The Chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.004, indicating a significant relationship between the mother's level of knowledge and toddler development. Good knowledge enables mothers to provide better-quality care despite time limitations. These findings imply the importance of enhancing education for working mothers to support optimal child development.

Abstract

The maternal mortality rate remains a significant global health challenge, particularly in developing countries. Timely detection of obstetric emergencies such as preeclampsia, sepsis, and postpartum hemorrhage is crucial to reducing delays in treatment. This literature review aims to analyze the implementation and effectiveness of the Modified Early Obstetric Warning Score (MEOWS) in primary healthcare settings. The review included 22 articles published between 2016 and 2023, identified through databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Findings indicate that MEOWS is effective in detecting early signs of maternal deterioration, improving clinical decision-making, and preventing severe complications. However, challenges remain in adopting MEOWS in primary care due to limited training, lack of standardized protocols, and inadequate resources. The results highlight the need for capacity building, policy support, and contextual adaptation of MEOWS to optimize its use in community-based maternal care. This review suggests that the integration of MEOWS can strengthen obstetric triage systems and contribute to lowering maternal mortality rates in low-resource settings.

Abstract

Nausea and vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy are common physiological symptoms that may interfere with maternal comfort and nutritional intake. One widely accepted non-pharmacological therapy to reduce these symptoms is ginger decoction, due to its antinausea properties derived from active compounds such as gingerol and shogaol. This study aims to determine the relationship between pregnant women's level of knowledge and their attitudes toward the use of ginger decoction to alleviate nausea and vomiting in the first trimester. This research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive-analytic design. The population included all first-trimester pregnant women visiting Pratama Madina Clinic during January–February 2024, totaling 47 respondents selected using total sampling. Data collection used a structured questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate techniques, with the Chi-square test applied. The results showed that 75% of respondents had good knowledge and demonstrated a positive attitude toward using ginger decoction. The Chi-square analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude (p = 0.000). The study concludes that knowledge level influences pregnant women's attitudes toward herbal therapy, and ginger decoction is well-accepted as a non-pharmacological option to reduce pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting. Further health education is recommended to enhance awareness of safe and effective natural therapies for pregnant women.

Abstract

Breast milk (ASI) is the most perfect source of nutrition for infants, especially during the first six months of life. However, many postpartum mothers experience obstacles in producing breast milk optimally. One non-pharmacological alternative to increase breast milk production is the consumption of mung bean extract, which contains lactagogues and B-complex vitamins. This study aims to determine the effect of mung bean extract on breast milk production in postpartum mothers. The method used was a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach involving 10 postpartum mothers at PMB Bidan SRI, Selesai Subdistrict, Langkat Regency. The intervention was carried out for seven consecutive days, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. The results showed a significant increase in the average breast milk production score from 1.20 to 2.90 after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.004. This indicates that mung bean extract has a positive effect on increasing breast milk production. These findings are expected to serve as a basis for healthcare providers to recommend mung bean consumption in lactation management for postpartum mothers.

Abstract

This study examines the financial management practices in public health systems, focusing on funding, budgeting, and resource allocation. The objective is to explore the relationship between financial management strategies and healthcare service quality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. A literature review methodology was used to analyze various studies published between 2010 and 2023. The findings indicate that stable funding, transparent budgeting, and efficient resource allocation significantly enhance healthcare outcomes. These practices ensure that critical services, such as maternal and child health care, are prioritized, thereby improving access to essential services. The study highlights the importance of adopting comprehensive financial strategies to address challenges in public health systems. The implications of this research emphasize the need for policy reforms to improve financial management practices, particularly in resource-limited settings. Future research should investigate the specific financial strategies that can be applied to enhance healthcare delivery in diverse healthcare environments.
