Abstract

Anemia is a global health issue that is commonly found among adolescent girls, especially in developing countries. Anemia occurs when hemoglobin levels in the blood are below normal, thereby disrupting oxygen transport to all body tissues. Makassar, as a large city with diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, still faces the problem of anemia among female students that has not been optimally addressed. Based on several local surveys, it was found that adolescents from lower-middle socioeconomic backgrounds and those with low nutritional knowledge tend to have a higher risk of developing anemia. This study aims to identify the characteristics of female students that contribute to the incidence of anemia among adolescent girls in Makassar City. The research method used is an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach conducted on 60 female students in Makassar City using simple random sampling in March 2023. The variables studied included father's education, mother's education, parental income, nutritional knowledge, and hemoglobin levels. Data were collected through questionnaires and hemoglobin measurements, and the data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results of the study showed that there was no significant relationship between father's and mother's education, family income, and nutritional knowledge with the incidence of anemia among female students. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the need to strengthen behavior-based nutritional interventions and practical nutrition literacy, not just educational and informative ones. Although education and nutrition knowledge are important, the findings indicate that knowledge alone is insufficient to prevent anemia if not followed by proper dietary practices. Keywords: anemia, hemoglobin, characteristics, female students

Abstract

The marketing mix is a key strength of hospitals, closely linked to patient behavior in utilizing services. Product mismatch with patient perceptions is a common problem in the marketing mix. Patients sometimes do not know the cost, which can be burdensome for them. Promotion does not reach the right target segment. Place refers to the location, where there are often long queues at the outpatient clinic. People rely on specific individuals or doctors for care. Process involves inefficient service delivery workflows, and physical facilities are insufficient and not fully optimized. Similarly, in Pelamonia Hospital, the marketing mix is now structured as the 10P or mega marketing mix. This theory by Dr. Samsi Jacobalis led to the decision to expand the marketing mix from 4P to 10P, which includes People, Public, Power, Pressure, and Performance. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the marketing mix and patient loyalty at Pelamonia Hospital TK II 14.05.01 in Makassar. The research was conducted quantitatively using a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 8,134 patients, with 269 samples. The sampling method used was purposive sampling. The study was conducted in April 2025 and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The results and conclusions indicate a significant relationship between the product dimension (p=0.0027), promotion (p=0.002), physical evidence (p=0.027), process (p=0.000), performance (p=0.007), public relations (p=0.026), and power (p=0.000) with patient loyalty at the outpatient department of TK II 14.05.01 Pelamonia Hospital in Makassar. There is no relationship between the dimensions of price (p=0.180), place (p=0.664), and people (p=0.713) and the loyalty of outpatients at Pelamonia Makassar General Hospital TK II 14.05.01. It is recommended that the hospital maximize its marketing mix activities to provide good service to patients and make them feel comfortable in receiving services and examinations at the hospital.

Abstract

Teenage girls are a group that is vulnerable to anemia due to low iron intake in their daily diet. According to data from the Health Department of Makassar City, the prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls reached 3.98% of the total 4,788 individuals. To date, anemia prevention efforts have primarily focused on iron supplements. However, this approach often faces challenges such as low compliance rates with supplement intake, gastrointestinal side effects, and a lack of practical nutrition education. Therefore, an innovative and sustainable strategy is needed through a functional food approach based on local resources. One potential alternative snack food is churros, a light snack that can be enriched with moringa leaf flour and anchovy flour as natural sources of protein and iron. This study aims to analyze the protein and iron content in churros products formulated with moringa leaf flour and anchovy flour substitutes. This study used a pre-experimental design with a post-test only design. The study was conducted at the Makassar Health Laboratory Center. Protein content was tested using the Micro Kjeldahl method, and iron content was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The results showed that the protein content in churros was 0.4186 grams per 4 grams of sample, equivalent to 10.465 grams per 100 grams. The iron content reached 0.1704 mg per 4 grams or 4.26 mg per 100 grams of product. It is recommended that further research focus on optimizing the processing to maintain protein quality and analyzing other nutrient contents as part of the development of local functional food-based churros products. Keywords: Churros, protein, iron

Abstract

Ischemic stroke is a major cause of neurological disability, often resulting in cognitive impairment that impacts quality of life, functional status, and caregiver burden. However, there has been no systematic conceptual analysis explaining the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of cognitive function in ischemic stroke patients. Thi study aims to comprehensively analyze the concept of cognitive function in ischemic stroke patients, clarifying its definition, attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical references. This concept analysis followed the seven-steps approach by Walker and Avant. Literature search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL with the following inclusion criteria: publications from 2020 to 2025, in English, focusing on post-stroke cognitive function. A total of 22 articles from various disciplines were analyzed. Empirical references were selected based on their relevance to cognitive attributes. Data were extracted and synthesized according to the attributes, antecedents, and consequences to form a conceptual definition. The six main attributes of cognitive function in ischemic stroke are: memory, executive function, attention, language, orientation, and visuospatial function. Antecedents include biological-structural factors (infarct location/size), sociodemographic factors (age, education), clinical factors (comorbidities, stroke severity), functional factors, and psychological factors. The consequences include a decline in quality of life, functional status, increased caregiver burden, and mortality. Instruments such as MoCA, MMSE, and biological biomarkers were identified as key empirical references. This conceptual analysis provides a strong theoretical foundation for nursing practice, emphasizing the importance of early detection and attribute-based multidisciplinary interventions to prevent further cognitive decline.  This study has limitations, as variations in the assessment phase may affect the heterogeneity of cognitive impairment. Further research is recommended to validate this concept with clinical data, test the effectiveness of specifically designed interventions, and conduct longitudinal studies to monitor long-term cognitive function.

Abstract

Stunting can affect a child's growth and development, leading to low human resource quality, thus posing a risk to work productivity. The stunting rate has increased significantly over the past 10 years, particularly in Eastern Indonesia, requiring serious attention from various professions, particularly the government, in collaboration with health workers. Research Objectives: 1) To identify the understanding, attitudes, and skills of mothers and health workers regarding the recognition, early detection, and risk factors of stunting, 2) increasing the knowledge of mothers and health cadres about early detection of stunting from the womb to the first 1000 days of life, and 3) To design an effective and practical guidebook that mothers and health workers can use to identify, early detection, and risk factors for stunting in the first 1,000 lives.  Methods: This quantitative research study used a descriptive analytical design using a "One Group Pre-Post Test Design" and a pre-experimental method. The sample size was 210 mothers and health workers using a purposive sampling technique in the cities of Makassar, Mataram, and Soe, NTT.  The results of the study in Makassar City and Soe City (NTT) showed that the level of knowledge of mothers about early detection of stunting was mostly lacking, namely 136 (93.8%). The level of knowledge of cadres about early detection of stunting was mostly high, namely 13 people (86.7%). Most were lacking, namely 113 (93.42%). While the skills of cadres about early detection of stunting were mostly good, namely 55 people (61.8%). The mother's attitude towards early detection of stunting was mostly lacking, namely 106 (99.1%). Meanwhile, the cadre's attitude towards early detection of stunting was mostly good, namely 62 people (60.2%). The statistical test results obtained p = 0.000, so it can be concluded that there is a difference in the proportion of the level of knowledge, skills and attitudes of mothers and health cadres with the ability to recognize early detection and risk factors stunting. Conclusion: Knowledge, skills and attitudes of mothers and health cadres are very lacking regarding the introduction, early detection and risk factors for stunting, and there is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge, skills and attitudes of mothers and health cadres, with the introduction of early detection and risk factors for stunting.

Abstract

Mechanical neck pain is a common condition among employees who perform static tasks in non-ergonomic postures while using digital devices, potentially leading to pain, disability, and reduced work productivity. The purpose of this study to prove that deep cervical flexion exercise with pressure biofeedback is more effective than muscle energy technique in reducing neck pain and disability in mechanical neck pain conditions of digital creative employees. This study is a true experiment with pre-test and post-test two group design. The subjects of the study were 24 people who were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 (n=12) received deep cervical flexion exercise with pressure biofeedback, while group 2 (n=12) received muscle energy technique. Pain intensity was measured using the numeric pain rating scale and neck disability was assessed using the neck disability index. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a significant reduction in pain and disability in both groups (p=0.001; p<0.05). The independent sample t-test confirmed significant differences between the groups (p<0.05), with group 1 showing a greater percentage reduction in both pain (68.40%) and disability (55.48%) compared to group 2 (44% and 30.55%). In conclusion, deep cervical flexion exercise with pressure biofeedback showed greater improvement compared to muscle energy technique in reducing neck pain and disability in mechanical neck pain conditions of digital creative employees. Although limited by age differences between groups as a potential confounding factor, the findings remain applicable to workers with prolonged static and non-ergonomic postures.

Abstract

Background: Dengue fever is a public health issue in Ende Regency at Kota Ende Health Center, an endemic area. Since 2015, the One House One Jumantik movement empowers families, but low awareness and resources hinder implementation. Methods: A qualitative case study with a phenomenological approach  from January to June 2025 with six purposively selected informants: technical officers, health center leaders, health office officials, three urban village head. Sample size was determined based on information power and theoretical saturation. Data were collected via observation, open interviews, and document review, then analyzed thematically. Triangulation of sources and techniques ensured validity. Ethical approval was obtained from Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang (LB.02.03/1/0036/2025). Results: Implementers’ positive understanding supports adoption of the One House One Jumantik program. Nonetheless, budget constraints, limited monitoring structures, weak cross-sector communication, and low community engagement reduce effectiveness. Strengthening coordination, providing training, and applying participatory approaches are key to improving sustainability. Conclusion: The implementation of the One House, One Jumantik movement at Kota Ende Health Center remains limited by resource shortages, organizational structure, and cross-sector coordination. Program effectiveness is affected by organizational capacity, communication, and resource distribution. Addressing these challenges requires concrete actions: conducting cadre training and establishing coordination forums at the Health Center level; providing technical guidance, supervision, and budget support at the District Health Office level; integrating formal policies, planning, and performance monitoring at the Regional Government level; and actively involving the community in inspections and mosquito surveillance

Abstract

Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a lack of physical activity contributed to 830,000 deaths annually in 2022. University students are among the populations with low levels of physical activity. Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be expelled from the lungs, influenced by various factors including age, gender, exercise habits, smoking activity, nutritional status, and medical history. This study aims to determine the effect of physical exercise using the Harvard Step Test on vital lung capacity in students at the Faculty of Medicine, Tadulako University. Specifically, this study aims to determine the value of vital lung capacity before and after physical exercise and analyze the effect of physical exercise on changes in vital lung capacity in students at the Faculty of Medicine, Tadulako University.. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental method with a One Group Pre-Test Post- Test design without a control group, involving 23 participants, both male and female. Sampling was conducted using a non-probability method with purposive sampling technique. The physical exercise intervention consisted of the Harvard step test for four weeks, with a frequency of three times per week for approximately five minutes per session. The results were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-test in SPSS software. Results: The average pre-test vital capacity was 2.64 liters, while the average post-test vital capacity was 3.24 liters, indicating an increase in vital capacity following the intervention. The comparative analysis using the Paired Sample T-test yielded a p- value<0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant effect of the Harvard step test on vital capacity. Conclusion: There is an effect of physical exercise using the Harvard step test method on the vital capacity of the lungs in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Tadulako University.
