Abstract

Postpartum contraceptive services plays an important role in reducing the rate of unplanned pregnancies and improving maternal and child health. However, its coverage in Indonesia is still low. This study aims to evaluate the quality of postpartum contraception services through three aspects: technical, functional, and accessibility. The study design is quantitative descriptive-analytical, with respondents being reproductive-age women who have given birth and accessed contraception services in 2024. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey and analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression. The results indicate that the quality of services is a dominant factor in the use of modern contraceptives, particularly among millennial women (OR = 18.6). Technical aspects such as method availability and staff competence, as well as functional aspects such as attitude, clarity of information, and privacy significantly influence patient decisions. Although accessibility was not statistically significant, economic factors and distance remain practical barriers. This study recommends improving service quality, training healthcare workers, and developing community-based service models to expand access to quality contraception in Indonesia.

Abstract

Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is a common clinical symptom that often reflects structural or functional abnormalities of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Accurate imaging of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (ESD) is essential for identifying the underlying causes. This study aimed to describe radiologic examination techniques for ESD assessment in dysphagia cases at the Radiology Department of Panembahan Senopati Bantul Hospital. A qualitative case study design was applied, involving one radiologist and three radiographers. Data were obtained through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and processed using data reduction, categorization, and open coding, then validated with relevant radiologic literature. Patient preparation included 6–8 hours of fasting, removal of metallic objects, and procedural explanation. Imaging was performed in stages: the stomach was evaluated with AP supine and PA prone projections, the esophagus with AP erect and RPO projections, and the duodenum with an AP full-filling projection. Projection selection was guided by clinical indication, patient comfort, and technical efficiency. For example, AP and RPO projections were sufficient for esophageal evaluation due to its small diameter. The AP supine view was used to assess the corpus ventriculi, while PA prone provided better visualization of the fundus. All examinations were performed under radiologist supervision and adjusted based on patient condition and available equipment. Additional projections were unnecessary if no abnormalities were detected. In conclusion, ESD examination for dysphagia at this hospital follows a systematic yet flexible protocol, ensuring diagnostic accuracy while maintaining patient safety and comfort.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that often occurs without symptoms and is a leading cause of premature death. In addition to persistently elevated blood pressure, hypertensive patients frequently experience unstable blood pressure variability (BPV), both short- and long-term. While antihypertensive medications are effective, they often cause undesirable side effects. Therefore, a safe and practical non-pharmacological approach is needed, such as slow deep breathing techniques and Qur'anic murottal therapy. This study aims to explore the effect of combining slow deep breathing and Qur'anic murottal therapy on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This research used a descriptive approach with a case study method involving one hypertensive patient who met the inclusion criteria, namely having a blood pressure >140/90 mmHg, no hearing impairment, and having provided informed consent. The intervention was carried out once daily for 30 minutes over three consecutive days. The intervention followed the SOP for slow deep breathing combined with Qur'an murottal therapy. Blood pressure was measured before and after each session. There was a consistent decrease in blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate over the three-day period. These findings suggest that the combined therapy promotes relaxation and lowers blood pressure. The stable reduction also indicates its potential in managing blood pressure fluctuations. Further research with a quantitative design and a larger sample size is recommended to strengthen the generalization of results and support the broader application of this therapy in various healthcare settings.

Abstract

Attempts to raise the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in rural areas continue to face obstacles when it comes to formula feeding infants ages 0–6 months. The use of formula milk is still widespread despite national policies that support exclusive breastfeeding; this is due to sociodemographic factors like family income and educational attainment. Through respiratory infections, impaired cognitive development, intestinal issues, and the possibility of stunting, these factors may endanger the health of children. In places like Puskesmas Donomulyo, which is surrounded by rural areas, some families still have limited access to health services and information, so economic and educational factors are the primary determinants of whether to breastfeed or use formula. This study aimed to identify the variables associated with formula feeding in infants aged 0–6 months in the Donomulyo Community Health Center area. A quantitative, retrospective case-control design is used in this investigation. The unpaired categorical analytic formula with Zα 0.96 and Zβ 0.84 was used to determine the sample. Using a straightforward random sampling method, 68 respondents in total were chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. In order to determine the 95% confidence level and a significant level of p ˂ 0.05, the analysis employed the chi-square test and the computation of proportions in each category. Of the mothers who gave formula milk to their infants between the ages of 0 and 6 months, 58.8% had a supportive attitude, 67.6% had a supportive attitude, 64.7% worked, 52.9% had a high parental income, and 58.8% had support from health professionals. Results of statistical tests for maternal education (p value = 0.001; OR 5.510), attitude (p value = 0.002; OR 5.018), employment (p value = 0.004; OR 4.400), parental income (p value = 0.013; OR 3.656), and health worker support (p value = 0.225; OR 1.810). There was no correlation between formula feeding and health worker support in infants aged 0–6 months; however, a correlation was found between the mother's occupation, attitude, education, and parents' income. It is recommended that healthcare professionals provide ongoing education regarding the dangers of formula feeding and the significance of exclusive breastfeeding. Health professionals' home visits, regular counseling at Posyandu, and the activation of mothers' study groups can all contribute to achieving this goal. Particularly in rural areas with limited access to information, this strategy seeks to improve breastfeeding motivation, increase maternal understanding, and lessen reliance on formula milk

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and remains a major public health problem in Indonesia. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for determining appropriate management and preventing fatal complications. This systematic literature review aimed to evaluate and synthesize evidence on laboratory diagnostic methods for DHF across Southeast Asia. A comprehensive search was conducted across Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Google Scholar and DOAJ for studies published between 2015 and 2025, using keywords such as “Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever,” “Laboratory Diagnosis,” and “Southeast Asia.” Inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed studies reporting empirical on hematological, serological, or molecular laboratory test for DHF, while reviews without empirical finding studies unrelated to dengue diagnosis were excluded. Found on database 40 after screening, 22 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. NS1 antigen testing plays a crucial role in the early phase of infection, while IgM and IgG serological tests are useful in identifying the immunological phase of the disease. Meanwhile, RT-PCR is a highly sensitive method for directly detecting the presence of the virus. Combining several testing methods has been shown to improve diagnostic accuracy, both in terms of sensitivity and specificity. However, optimal implementation of these tests still faces challenges such as limited resources, cost, time, and differences in laboratory capabilities at various levels of health facilities. Therefore, strengthening laboratory capacity, standardizing testing methods, and implementing a combination testing strategy are needed to improve the reliability of dengue diagnosis. This approach is expected to support early detection, accelerate treatment, and strengthen efforts to control dengue outbreaks nationally.

Abstract

Background: The colon in loop (CIL) examination at the Radiology Department of RSPAU Dr. Suhardi Hardjolukito employs the following projections: single-contrast AP, lateral, RPO, and LPO, followed by double-contrast AP, RPO, LPO, and post-evacuation AP. The procedure utilizes water-soluble contrast media without the use of a balloon to secure the catheter. Methods: This study adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method. Subjects include one radiology specialist and three radiographers. The research was conducted from August 2024 to September 2025. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and documentation, followed by data processing, analysis, and conclusion drawing. Results: Findings from the Radiology Department of RSPAU Dr. Suhardi Hardjolukito indicate that the use of water-soluble contrast media is safer for patients at risk of perforation, as it is easily absorbed by the body and carries a low risk of complications. Additionally, the use of a catheter without a balloon proves effective, as it does not interfere with rectal visualization and reduces the risk of irritation or excessive pressure in the area. Conclusion: The CIL examination using water-soluble contrast media and a catheter without a balloon is a safe and effective method, especially for patients suspected of having a risk of perforation. The choice of contrast media should be tailored to the patient's clinical condition, and the use of fluoroscopy is recommended to enhance efficiency and accuracy in the examination procedure.

Abstract

Complete atrioventricular (AV) block is a rare and life-threatening condition in children, characterized by complete electrical dissociation between the atria and ventricles. Its diagnosis and management can be particularly challenging in resource-limited settings. A 15-year-old girl presented with chest discomfort, dyspnea, nausea, and vomiting. On examination, she was hemodynamically unstable with bradycardia (heart rate 48–58 bpm). Electrocardiography revealed a complete AV block with junctional escape rhythm. Further evaluation, including echocardiography, showed no structural heart defects and preserved ventricular function. Management included fluid resuscitation and dopamine infusion, titrated up to 20 mcg/kg/min. During titration, the patient developed ventricular tachycardia–induced bradycardia that resolved spontaneously after dose reduction. Following stabilization, the patient was referred to a higher-level facility for permanent pacemaker implantation and further investigation of the underlying etiology. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and timely intervention in pediatric complete AV block. In settings with limited resources, dopamine infusion may serve as a temporary bridging therapy when transfer is delayed, but careful monitoring is essential due to the risk of arrhythmias. Prompt diagnosis, appropriate stabilization, and early referral are crucial to reducing morbidity and preventing fatal outcomes.

Abstract

The high rate of occupational accidents in the construction sector is often attributed to low worker safety awareness. In regions like Muna Regency, where infrastructure development is intensifying, enhancing safety awareness through systematic Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) education and training is critical. However, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of such training in this specific regional context remains limited. This study aims to analyze the effect of OHS education and training on the safety awareness of infrastructure construction workers in Muna Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 100 construction workers selected via purposive sampling. The instruments measured variables related to OHS training and safety awareness using a Likert scale. Data analysis involved validity and reliability tests, followed by simple linear regression analysis using SPSS. The findings indicate that OHS education and training have a positive and significant effect on workers' safety awareness. The regression analysis resulted in a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.42, meaning that 42% of the variance in safety awareness is explained by the training variable. The significance value was less than 0.05, confirming the statistical significance of this relationship. This study concludes that systematic OHS education and training are crucial factors in improving the safety awareness of construction workers in Muna Regency. These results highlight the need for contractors and local government agencies to prioritize and institutionalize continuous, high-quality OHS training programs to foster a stronger safety culture within the regional construction industry.

Abstract

Prehypertension is posing a significant health concern as it has the potential to develop into full hypertension if not addressed.  The city of Bandung is noted for having one of the highest hypertension prevalence rates in West Java, reaching 23.5%. Among adolescents, prehypertension may arise from poor lifestyle habits, such as imbalance dietary intake, excessive nutritional status, insufficient physical activity, genetic factors, and socioeconomic factors. The study aimed to examine the relationship between sodium intake, physical activity, and stress levels with prehypertension among adolescents at SMAN 17 Bandung. Employing a quantitative cross-sectional design, the research was conducted from October 2024 to April 2025 at SMAN 17 Bandung. A total of 60 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Sodium intake was assessed through two 24-hour dietary recalls. The PAL (Physical Activity Level) questionnaire was used to evaluate physical activity, while the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) questionnaire measured stress levels. The Chi-Square was used for bivariate data analysis. Findings revealed that 53.7% of the adolescent participants experienced prehypertension. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant correlations (p<0.05) between sodium intake (p=0.000), physical activity (p=0.042), and stress levels (p=0.007) with prehypertension among adolescents at SMAN 17 Bandung. There is an effect of sodium intake, physical activity, and stress levels with prehypertension among adolescents at SMAN 17 Bandung
