Abstract

Rectosigmoid cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy are at high risk of malnutrition due to metabolic alterations and treatment-related gastrointestinal side effects. Evidence on the implementation of standardized nutritional care in primary healthcare settings remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the provision of standardized nutritional care with a diet high in energy and protein and its impact on the intake, nutritional status, and clinical condition of rectosigmoid cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The case was a 50-year-old male with stage III rectosigmoid cancer undergoing chemotherapy, who presented with undernourished status, diarrhea, reduced appetite, dysphagia-related discomfort, and anemia. Nutritional assessment identified inadequate oral intake and increased energy and protein requirements. Standardized nutritional care was implemented using the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) framework, including an individualized high-energy, high-protein (HEHP) diet and nutrition education for the patient and family. Dietary intake was monitored over three consecutive days using 24-hour food recalls. The patient demonstrated improved tolerance to oral intake, increased protein consumption, stabilization of body weight, and no worsening of gastrointestinal symptoms during the intervention period. This case illustrates that standardized nutritional care using a high-energy, high-protein diet can support dietary intake and help maintain nutritional status in rectosigmoid cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, even in a primary healthcare setting. Early and individualized nutritional intervention may play an important role in preventing further nutritional deterioration and supporting comprehensive cancer care.

Abstract

Background: The maternal mortality rate in the world based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 was 817 people every day. Based on UNICEF data in 2020, the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in the world reached 2.5 million deaths before the age of one month. The Ministry of Health in 2020 estimated that in 2024 the MMR in Indonesia would reach 183/100,000 KH and in 2030 it would be 131/100,000 KH. Objective: This study aims to explore in depth the relationship between the consumption of iron tablets and the risk of maternal death. Method: Using a literature review method and searching for articles using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method with inclusion and exclusion criteria, combining language keywords. The database used to search for articles is PubMed and Web of Science. Results: There are 5 articles that match the topic and can be used for a systematic literature review. Conclusion: Compliance of pregnant women in consuming iron tablets (Fe)  greatly influences the prevention of anemia during pragnency. So there is a relationship between the consumption of iron tabltes and the risk of maternal death.

Abstract

Background: Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and occurs frequently in Indonesia. The high maternal mortality rate (MMR) reflects the low quality of health services during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with the incidence of preeclampsia among pregnant women at the Public Health Center in Sukosewu, Bojonegoro, Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The samples consisted of 120 pregnant women at the Public Health Center in Sukosewu, Bojonegoro District, Indonesia. Odds ratio and logistic regression tests were applied in this study. Results: Gravida (p = 0.046) and a history of chronic hypertension (p = 0.015) had a significant positive effect (p < 0.05) on the incidence of preeclampsia. Meanwhile, family history (p = 0.079), twin pregnancy (p = 0.999), gestational interval (p = 0.261), age (p = 0.132), BMI (p = 0.336), MAP (p = 0.997), history of hypertension during pregnancy (p = 0.260), and history of DM (p = 1.000) showed no significant effect on the incidence of preeclampsia. Conclusion: The incidence of preeclampsia among pregnant women at the Public Health Center in Sukosewu, Bojonegoro, Indonesia, was associated with the risk factors of previous preeclampsia and a history of chronic hypertension during pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Low utilization of ultrasonography (USG) examinations among pregnant women, at only 16.1% during the first antenatal care (ANC) visit and 18.7% during the last ANC visit, may hinder the early detection of pregnancy complications and contribute to the high infant mortality rate (IMR), which reached 34 cases in 2024 in Tulang Bawang Regency. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of USG examination utilization among pregnant women in Tulang Bawang Regency in 2025. Methods: This quantitative analytic study employed a cross-sectional design. From a population of 2,694 pregnant women in Tulang Bawang Regency in 2025, a sample of 267 respondents was selected using stratified random sampling from six primary health centers. Data were collected using questionnaires and secondary data sources. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate (Chi-square), and multivariate analyses using multiple logistic regression. Results: Of the 267 respondents, 141 (52.8%) adhered to ultrasound examinations. Knowledge (p=0.000), attitude (p=0.008), age (p=0.000), service availability (p=0.008), accessibility (p=0.000), and perception (p=0.013) were significantly associated with ultrasound examination adherence, whereas pregnancy risk status was not significantly associated (p=0.643). Age was identified as the dominant factor influencing ultrasound examination adherence (p=0.001; OR=3.660; 95% CI: 1.751–7.650). Conclusions: Ultrasound utilization among pregnant women was primarily influenced by age, accessibility, and knowledge. To improve ultrasound utilization as an innovation to strengthen ANC services, we recommend prioritizing screening among pregnant women aged <20 and >35 years, providing structured ultrasound education, implementing written scheduling systems, tiered reminders, and active follow-up for missed appointments. These efforts should be supported by flexible service hours and improved accessibility through scheduled transportation and mobile ultrasound services, subject to resource availability.

Abstract

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an alphavirus transmitted by mosquitoes, has re-emerged recently, causing significant global outbreaks. Infection leads to chikungunya fever (CHIKF), an acute febrile illness primarily characterized by severe joint pain and myalgia, which can persist for weeks to months. The pain is much more pronounced and localized to the joints and tendons in chikungunya fever. Although CHIKF is usually self-limiting, severe cases with complications like persistent systematic clinical manifestations and fatalities have been documented. The virus’s resurgence is likely driven by factors such as viral evolution, globalization, and climate change, exacerbated by the absence of licensed vaccines or antiviral therapies. In light of its expanding range and unpredictable outbreaks, CHIKV has become a major global health threat. No specific and effective antiviral therapy is available, and vaccines are still in trial. The only effective preventive measures consist of individual protection against mosquito bites and vector control. The main objective of this study is to investigate the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis and epidemiology of CHIKV disease.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic condition that requires routine and continuous hemodialysis therapy. Patient adherence to hemodialysis at RSUD Menggala is crucial to prevent complications and improve quality of life. Various factors are suspected to influence adherence, including environmental factors, educational instruments/media, and individual factors. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental, instrument, and individual factors and adherence to hemodialysis therapy among CKD patients at RSUD Menggala in 2025. Methods: This study used a quantitative analytical cross-sectional design to examine the relationship between healthcare professionals’ educational interventions and adherence to hemodialysis therapy among stage 5 CKD patients at RSUD Menggala in 2025. Data were collected from 84 respondents using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression tests with SPSS version 26 to identify factors associated with adherence to hemodialysis therapy. Results: The majority of respondents showed moderate to high adherence to hemodialysis therapy. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between environmental factors (p=0.004), educational instruments (p=0.003), and individual factors (p<0.001) with adherence. Patients with supportive environments, adequate educational media, and positive individual characteristics were more likely to adhere to therapy. Multivariate analysis showed that individual factors were the most dominant determinant (p=0.001; OR=12.308), indicating that patients with favorable individual factors had more than twelve times higher likelihood of adherence compared to those with unfavorable factors. Conclusion: Individual factors play the most significant role in improving adherence to hemodialysis therapy among CKD patients at RSUD Menggala.

Abstract

Background: Dengue fever remains a major public health concern in tropical regions, including Indonesia. Household-level knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) play a critical role in sustainable vector control. This study aimed to compare KAP regarding dengue prevention among household heads in high- and low-incidence areas in Magetan Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 785 household heads selected using stratified random sampling. A total of 390 respondents were recruited from high-incidence areas (≥11 cases/year) and 395 from low-incidence areas (≤10 cases/year). Data were collected using a validated and reliable structured questionnaire measuring knowledge (45 items), attitudes (18 items), and practices (25 items). Spearman rank correlation was used to examine associations between sociodemographic factors and KAP scores, and the Mann–Whitney U test was applied to compare differences between groups. Results: Knowledge and attitude scores did not differ significantly between high- and low-incidence areas (p > 0.05). However, prevention practice scores were significantly higher in high-incidence areas (Mean = 15.51; SD = 4.37) compared to low-incidence areas (Mean = 12.94; SD = 5.91; p < 0.001). Age was positively associated with attitudes and practices in both areas, while education level was significantly correlated with knowledge. Employment status was associated with prevention practices, whereas gender showed no significant association with KAP. Conclusions: Dengue prevention practices were stronger in high-incidence areas, suggesting that direct exposure to disease risk influences behavioral responses more than knowledge alone. Strengthening community empowerment and behavior-focused interventions is essential, particularly in low-incidence areas, to enhance preparedness and prevent future outbreaks.

Abstract

Background: Smoking is a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Indonesia, with a high prevalence of smoking, including in Situbondo Regency. The increase in cases of pneumonia due to exposure to cigarette smoke exacerbates health problems in this area. The Smoke-Free Area (KTR) policy aims to create a smoke-free environment to protect the community, especially children and vulnerable groups. This study aims to analyse the advocacy process in the ratification of the KTR Regional Regulation (Perda) in Situbondo Regency, as well as the challenges and commitments faced by stakeholders.  Methods: A qualitative approach with a case study design was used. Data collection was conducted through unstructured interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of documents related to KTR policy. Participants consisted of stakeholders such as government officials, members of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), and civil society organisations. Results: This study found that despite strong commitment from local government and the community, the main challenges were public misunderstanding of the scope of the KTR policy and its economic impact on tobacco farmers. In addition, active community participation, particularly by the Children's Forum, played an important role in supporting advocacy for this policy. Conclusions: The successful enactment and implementation of the KTR Regional Regulation in Situbondo Regency requires strong cross-sectoral collaboration and effective education strategies to increase public understanding and support for more inclusive tobacco control policies.

Abstract

Background: Bananas, esteemed for their nutritional benefits and historical therapeutic use, are a favored fruit among consumers. Paradoxically, the banana peel, a significant by-product of the banana processing industry, is often disregarded and treated as waste. Nonetheless, banana peels represent an overlooked source of nourishment and adaptability. This study aimed to conduct a thorough evaluation of the nutritional composition, phytochemical properties, and bioactivity of green banana pulp and peel extracts. Methods: Banana pulp and peel were subjected to oven drying at a regulated temperature, and proximate analysis was conducted in accordance with AOAC methodologies. The analysis of bioactive components and antioxidant capability was conducted using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was utilized to identify active constituents such as phytochemicals in the extract. The disc diffusion method was utilized to assess the efficacy of the extracts against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Results: The banana peel powder had higher levels of crude protein (7.18±0.02%), crude fat (8.56±0.04%), crude fiber (26.77±0.096%), and ash (10.12±0.0106%). In contrast, banana pulp powder had higher moisture (6.09 ± 0.06%) and carbohydrate (81.76 ± 0.065%) content. The total flavonoid content in banana peel (226.22 mg QE/100g) was higher than that of banana pulp (58.21 mg QE/100g), and banana pulp had the highest total polyphenol content (24.06 mg GAE/100g). Both extracts contained essential tannins, and flavonoids, according to phytochemical screening. Also, banana pulp and peel extracts showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the enhanced nutritional profile of green banana peel relative to pulp, alongside its promising phytochemical and bioactive properties. Thus, banana pulp and peel powder may serve as valuable resources with various applications, fostering healthier diets, sustainable agriculture, and environmentally friendly innovations.

Abstract

Background: Discontinuation of contraceptive use among women of reproductive age can hinder the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sociodemographic factors of women may be related to the contraceptive use duration before they decide to discontinue. It can be used as a basis for formulating interventions to ensure they are on target. The aim of this research to identify and analyze association between sociodemographic factors and duration of last contraceptive use among women of reproductive-age who ever had experienced with the discontinue of their contraception. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional, women aged 20-49 years who ever experienced contraceptive discontinuation as population. Sampling based on purposive stratified random sampling obtained a sample of 150 people. The study was conducted in Kediri Regency which was carried out in August-September 2025. Age, education, employment status, number of children, the last contraceptive method used when discontinuing use were observed as independent variables. The duration of last contraceptive use for the dependent variable. Primary data collection used questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman's Rho test. Results: Research outcomes showed that 50.0% of respondents discontinued after 1-5 years of use and 32.0% discontinued within <1 year; the most common group was 20-39 years (48.0%). A significant relationship between women’s age and the duration of last contraceptive use (p=0.007). Contraceptive methods and number of children had no consistent association. The 3-monthly injectable, intrauterine device (IUD), implant and pills were among the most frequently used for 1-5 years before they discontinued. Conclusions: The correlation between women’s age and duration of last contraceptive use can be used as a basis for developing interventions to extend the duration of contraceptive use through comprehensive and ongoing education or counselling about the benefits and management of side effects of contraception in younger mothers.
