Abstract

Air in rooms contaminated by microorganisms such as bacteria can cause health problems, especially respiratory tract infections. The use of eco-enzymes as a natural disinfectant is an environmentally friendly alternative to control airborne bacteria. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of eco-enzyme at concentrations of 15%, 20%, and 25% in reducing airborne bacteria levels in indoor spaces. The research method used a Quasi-Experimental design with a Pre-Post Test Control Group. Samples were collected from three classrooms at SMA Negeri 12 Makassar using random sampling. The eco-enzyme concentrations tested were 15%, 20%, and 25%, with a contact time of 1 hour. Data were analyzed using a One-Way ANOVA test. The results showed a significant reduction in airborne bacteria levels at all concentrations: 15% reduced by 14%, 20% by 24%, and 25% by 76%. Meanwhile, the control group experienced an increase in bacterial counts by 27%. Statistical analysis showed significant differences, with the 25% concentration being the most optimal (p-value 0.0001 < 0.05). Eco-enzyme at a concentration of 25% was proven effective in reducing airborne bacteria and has potential as an environmentally friendly natural disinfectant. This study has limitations, such as the use of a simple application method (manual sprayer) and a limited number of samples, so further research is recommended using the dry mist method and a broader sample scope.

Abstract

Small islands often face challenges in providing clean water, including the poor quality of dug wells on Barrang Caddi Island. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of coagulation using moringa seeds and filtration using pumice and mangrove charcoal in reducing turbidity and improving water quality. The study design is a quasi-experimental study using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. Samples were purposively selected from one dug well with the highest TDS value that is actively used. The treatment was conducted in three replicates to ensure consistency and reliability of the results. The coagulation process used Moringa oleifera at a dose of 350 mg/l, while filtration used pumice and activated charcoal media with a thickness of 60 cm. Effectiveness was calculated based on the difference in turbidity levels before and after treatment and analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and post hoc analysis. The results showed significant differences in all methods applied (p = 0.016). Moringa seed coagulation reduced turbidity by 26.85%, pumice filtration by 68.72%, activated carbon filtration by 79.96%, and the coagulation-filtration combination by 74.80%. Activated carbon filtration demonstrated the highest adsorption capacity. This study concluded that the combination of coagulation and filtration is a practical and applicable solution for addressing clean water issues in coastal and island regions.

Abstract

Every child has the right to live, grow, develop, and be protected. To that end, comprehensive, integrated, and sustainable child health efforts must be carried out from the fetal stage to the age of 18 to ensure the survival and quality of life of children through a reduction in mortality rates, improved nutrition, and the fulfillment of minimum service standards for infants. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the implementation of Continuum of Care (COC) and mothers' ability to care for infants, focusing on health aspects and caregiving skills, to improve infant care quality and reduce complications. The method used is quantitative with an observational analytical approach and a case-control design. The study sample consisted of 76 mothers, with 38 mothers receiving COC services and 38 mothers not receiving such services. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and Odds Ratio (OR) calculations. The results showed that mothers who received COC services had better infant care skills compared to those who did not. Among the 38 mothers who received COC, 89.4% were able to care for their infants well, while only 34.2% of mothers who did not receive COC were able to care for their infants. The p-value of 0.000 indicates that this difference is statistically significant. The Odds Ratio shows that mothers who did not receive COC services were 16 times more likely to be unable to care for their infants compared to those who received COC (OR = 16.346). This study concludes that the implementation of the COC program significantly improves mothers' ability to care for their babies WITH A p-VALUE OF 0.000. Therefore, it is recommended that the COC program be widely implemented to improve the quality of infant care and the health of mothers and children.

Abstract

Background: Food security and social protection are two variables that contribute to the prevalence of stunting and are critical points in efforts to prevent stunting. Programs related to food security and social protection as efforts to prevent stunting have been implemented in all districts/cities in Indonesia, including Jeneponto District and Barru District, but comprehensive information on these programs has not yet been reviewed. Objective: This study aims to describe how stunting prevention opportunities through social assistance programs for food-insecure families in Jeneponto District and Barru District can be achieved, with a focus on the effectiveness of these programs in reducing stunting. Method: The study design is descriptive and presents bivariate analysis using data on children aged 0–23 months from the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Study in Jeneponto District and Barru District. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 and presents data percentages and categorical variables. Results: The percentage of children aged 0-23 months with stunting in Jeneponto District was 25.84% and in Barru District was 47.57%. The percentage of children with normal nutritional status was higher than those with stunting in families receiving social assistance. Conclusion: The prevalence of stunting in Jeneponto and Barru remains high. The findings indicate that targeted social assistance positively contributes to food security and stunting prevention. Most families have good dietary consumption patterns. To reduce stunting, it is necessary to integrate social assistance with food security interventions and basic health services, particularly for poor and food-insecure families with children aged 0-23 months.

Abstract

Background: Hospitalization can trigger significant anxiety in preschool children due to their cognitive and emotional limitations in understanding medical procedures. Storytelling therapy is a potential non-pharmacological approach to alleviating anxiety, especially in regions such as Maluku, which have limited resources and a unique cultural context. Method: This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 38 children aged 3–5 years hospitalized at Sumber Hidup Hospital in Ambon were selected through total sampling. The intervention, which involved storytelling therapy, was conducted over five consecutive days within two weeks, with each session lasting approximately 30 minutes, resulting in a total intervention duration of around 2.5 hours per child. The instrument used was the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) preschool version. Data analysis was performed using a paired t-test. Results: The average anxiety score decreased from 3.08 to 2.37 (∆ = 0.71), with statistical test results showing a p-value of 0.001 and a 95% confidence interval of 0.525–0.896, indicating a statistically significant decrease. Most children moved from the moderate/severe anxiety category to the mild category after the intervention. Conclusion: Storytelling therapy was proven effective in reducing anxiety in preschool children during hospitalization and is worthy of integration into pediatric nursing practice in island regions such as Maluku. However, the limitation of the design without a control group should be noted in interpreting the results. These findings have practical implications that culturally-based narrative interventions can serve as a simple, cost-effective, and contextually appropriate strategy in pediatric nursing care.

Abstract

Obesity has emerged as a critical global public health challenge, driven by multifactorial predisposing elements such as sociodemographics, behavior, genetics, and obesogenic environmental factors. This systematic literature review synthesizes evidence on obesity subgroups (e.g., metabolically healthy obesity [MHO], metabolically unhealthy obesity [MUO]), biomarkers (microRNA, adipokines, oxidative stress markers, gut microbiota, and lipid accumulation product index), and prevention strategies. A systematic search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases (2010–2023) identified peer-reviewed studies addressing the etiology, classification, and interventions for obesity. Key findings highlight the interaction between early-life nutritional deficiencies and subsequent metabolic dysregulation, the role of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in refining the obesity phenotype, and the diagnostic potential of biomarkers such as miR-222 and leptin. Prevention strategies, including school-based nutrition education, taxes on ultra-processed foods, and bariatric surgery for severe cases, demonstrate varying efficacy across populations. This review emphasizes the need for a multidimensional approach tailored to regional contexts, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where the dual burden of malnutrition persists. By integrating evidence of genetic-environmental interactions and new biomarkers, this research provides actionable insights for policymakers and health practitioners to reduce the growing burden of obesity. Keywords: predisposing factors, subgroup classification, biomarkers, prevention mechanisms, obesity

Abstract

Adolescents are individuals aged 10–18 years. Adolescents who have sufficient knowledge about sexual and reproductive health issues can make wise decisions and avoid risky behavior. Parents are the closest people to provide information, guide, and encourage adolescents in their attitudes toward reproductive health. Parent-adolescent communication plays an important role in reducing risky sexual behavior and preventing various sexual and reproductive health problems. The purpose of this study is to update and provide a comprehensive overview of the factors that influence parent-adolescent communication about reproductive health issues. A literature review was conducted using the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases. Article selection methods used PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and were reviewed using the PICO framework (Participants, Interventions, Comparisons, and Outcomes). Keyword searches used a combination of keywords with Boolean operators (AND). Out of 1,133 articles found, 306 were selected for the study objectives and abstracts. Subsequently, selection was conducted according to inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria were articles published between 2020 and 2025, quantitative research design, written in English, and all articles were free and accessible. Analysis of the 6 articles revealed that factors influencing parental communication with adolescents about sexual and reproductive health include parental education (3 articles), parental knowledge (3 articles), adolescents' attitudes toward sexual and reproductive health issues, and adolescents' awareness of accessing information about sexual and reproductive health (3 articles). The results of this study indicate the need for integrated reproductive health education that targets not only adolescents but also parents through various strategies, such as regular counseling conducted by relevant health care facilities. This educational program should be designed to enhance parents' knowledge, communication skills, and confidence in discussing sexual and reproductive issues openly and age-appropriately.

Abstract

Background. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has emerged as an innovative approach in healthcare, particularly for monitoring patients with chronic conditions such as cancer. Variations in approaches in research and clinical practice can lead to differences in interpretation among healthcare professionals and researchers. Research Objectives. This study aims to explore the concept of remote patient monitoring. Method. Concept analysis was conducted following the eight-step approach by Walker and Avant: selecting the concept, determining the purpose of the analysis, identifying all uses of the concept, determining defining attributes, identifying model cases, identifying borderline and contradictory cases, identifying antecedents (preceding factors) and consequences, and defining empirical referents. A literature review was conducted using the Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and ProQuest databases to identify articles published between 2018 and 2024. Results. The analysis identified five main attributes of RPM: continuous monitoring, technology integration, multidisciplinary collaboration, service accessibility, and patient-centered care. These attributes are theoretically associated with positive consequences such as early detection of complications, improved health outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and patient empowerment and quality of life. Preceding factors include the availability of digital technology and infrastructure, the healthcare needs of cancer patients, challenges in accessing healthcare services, and patients' digital literacy and readiness. Conclusion. This study contributes theoretically by providing a conceptual model of RPM that can serve as a foundation for developing digital nursing practices and RPM implementation policies in oncology services. Standardizing the definition and conceptual modeling of RPM is crucial to ensuring consistent and effective integration within cancer patient care systems, where nurses play a central role in data interpretation and interprofessional coordination.

Abstract

Nursing care in the pediatric ward is measured based on parental satisfaction. Parental satisfaction is achieved when the child's needs for nursing care are met during hospitalization. If performance falls below expectations, customers will be dissatisfied, but if performance exceeds expectations, customers will feel satisfied or happy. To improve quality, one approach is to measure patient and family satisfaction with the implementation of Family-Centered Care in the hospital. Prioritizing patient and family satisfaction is a hallmark of high-quality healthcare services. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of Family-Centered Care on family satisfaction for children hospitalized at RSU Andi Makkasau Parepare. This survey is a quantitative study using an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used is accidental sampling. The population of respondents was 60 respondents. The sample size was determined using the Slovin formula with a sample of 53 respondents. The instruments used were the Family-Centered Care questionnaire and the family satisfaction questionnaire using a Likert scale. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square Correlation statistical test and analyzed using statistical analysis. The results of the study found that there was an effect of the implementation of Family-Centered Care on family satisfaction in children hospitalized at RSU Andi Makkasau Parepare, with a significance level of p-value = 0.000 < 0.05. The conclusion of the study is that there is a significant effect between Family-Centered Care and the level of family satisfaction in children hospitalized at RSU Andi Makkasau Parepare. Therefore, it is hoped that nurses can maintain the implementation of Family-Centered Care to improve service and satisfaction through nursing care.
