Abstract

Background: Adequate sleep is essential for optimal infant growth and neurodevelopment, as approximately 75% of growth hormone secretion occurs during sleep. Sleep disturbances in infancy remain prevalent and may adversely affect physical, emotional, and neurological development. Infant massage and foot reflexology are widely used non-pharmacological interventions to improve infant sleep quality; however, comparative evidence supported by both quantitative outcomes and caregiver experiences remains limited.Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of infant massage and foot reflexology on infant sleep quality and to explore maternal perceptions of sleep changes following these interventions.Method: An explanatory mixed-methods study was conducted using a quantitative quasi-experimental two-group pretest–posttest design, followed by a qualitative descriptive approach. The quantitative phase involved 32 infants aged 1-12 months with sleep disturbances, who were allocated to an infant massage group (n = 16) or a foot reflexology group (n = 16). Infant sleep quality was assessed before and after intervention using a structured sleep quality questionnaire. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Mann–Whitney U Test (α = 0.05). The qualitative phase included in-depth interviews with seven mothers, purposively selected from both groups, and the data were analysed using thematic analysis to explain and enrich quantitative findings.Result:   Both infant massage and foot reflexology significantly improved infant sleep quality (p < 0.001). However, post-intervention sleep quality was significantly higher in the infant massage group compared to the foot reflexology group (p < 0.001). Qualitative findings revealed improvements in sleep duration and continuity, reduced fussiness before sleep, and increased maternal confidence in managing infant sleep routines, particularly among mothers whose infants received massage therapy.Conclusion: Infant massage and foot reflexology are effective non-pharmacological interventions for improving infant sleep quality, with infant massage demonstrating superior effectiveness. The integration of quantitative and qualitative findings highlights infant massage as a practical and family-centred intervention to support healthy sleep in infancy.

Abstract

Background:  Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. It poses a significant challenge to healthcare systems, including those in Indonesia. This study investigates CRC survival rates and their association with prognostic factors at the Academic Hospital Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Yogyakarta.Methods: This is a cohort-retrospective study. All patients who were diagnosed with CRC and treated in the Surgery Division of Academic Hospital UGM from January 2019 to December 2023 were enrolled. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate overall survival, and the log-rank test was used to compare overall survival between prognostic groups.Result: The study included 110 patients with CRC. The median follow-up was 713 days. The estimated 1-year overall survival of all CRC patients treated at Academic Hospital UGM was 66.75%. The average Overall Survival (OS) was 752.335 days. Log-rank analysis showed p-values of 0.485, 0.468, 0.437, and < 0.001 for sex, age, cancer stage, and treatment, respectively. Treatment type significantly impacted survival. Patients who underwent surgery alone had a lower OS compared to those treated with surgery plus chemotherapy. Patients who received surgery alone also had 10-fold higher mortality than those who received combination therapy (HR 10.288; CI 95%, 3.603–29.387, p<0.001).Conclusion: Survival outcomes for colorectal cancer patients vary based on sex, age, stage, and treatment type. Surgery combined with chemotherapy was associated with better OS in CRC patients.

Abstract

Background:  Peptic ulcer disease with melena is commonly encountered in clinical practice. Pantoprazole is widely used to control bleeding and heal ulcers, but there is still debate regarding the effectiveness of intermittent bolus administration compared to continuous infusion.Objective: To review and evaluate the literature on the comparative effectiveness of pantoprazole administered via intermittent bolus versus continuous infusion.Methods: This study employed a narrative literature review design. Literature searches were conducted in the PubMed, Google Scholar, ProQuest, and Sage Journals databases for publications from 2020 to 2025 using the keywords: “pantoprazole,” “continuous infusion,” “intermittent bolus,” “effectiveness,” “bleeding,” and “peptic ulcer disease”.Result: Four articles met the inclusion criteria. Two studies reported no significant difference between intermittent bolus and continuous infusion administration. One study found that intermittent bolus administration was associated with a shorter length of stay, whereas another recommended continuous infusion for patients at high risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. There was heterogeneity in study design and reported outcomes.Conclusion: There is no significant difference between continuous infusion and intermittent bolus administration of pantoprazole; given the limited number and quality of studies, further research is needed.
