Abstract

Background: Accelerating stunting prevention remains one of the government's current priority programs. Prolonged nutritional deficiency occurring from the time a child is in the womb through the early stages of life during the first 1,000 days after birth can result not only in failure of physical growth and development, but also in impaired brain development, particularly during the gestational period. Increasing participation in family empowerment through family-centered nursing can help prevent stunting. This study aimed to analyze the effect of family-centered nursing-based education on stunting prevention behaviors among pregnant women in East Kebundadap Village. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental research design with a one-group pre-post test design. The population consisted of pregnant women in their first through third trimesters along with one family member each. A total of 34 participants were recruited using simple random sampling. Data analysis was performed using the paired sample t-test with a significance level of p-value (α < 0.05). Results: The findings revealed that prior to receiving family-centered nursing education, the majority of pregnant women demonstrated poor preventive behaviors, whereas following the intervention, nearly all participants exhibited good preventive behaviors. The analysis of behavioral outcomes before and after family-centered nursing-based education yielded a p-value of 0.000 (α < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant effect on the behaviors of pregnant women following the educational intervention. Conclusions: Behaviors during pregnancy are supported by maternal attitudes and knowledge regarding their own pregnancies. Family-centered nursing-based education effectively assists pregnant women and their family members in positively influencing maternal behavior during pregnancy as it relates to stunting prevention.

Abstract

Bullying is a rising public and mental health issue, especially in students and is linked to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and suicide attempts. In Indonesia, the cases are on the rise, which lends credence to the fact that prevention strategies should be culturally relevant. This paper uses a literature-based and theoretical approach to investigate bullying in the context of a public health model and the suggestions of Islamic teachings as a prevention tool. The research provides both theoretical and contextual originality in the combination of Islamic ethical ideals, including dignity, non-violence and accountability, with the modern models of bullying prevention. The evidence indicates that Islamic teachings offer culturally based and novel framework to supplement evidence-based interventions. The method is useful to a teacher, policy makers and community leaders in formulating effective anti-bullying policies and foster the psychological well-being of students.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnant women remains a health problem that can affect the health of both the mother and the fetus. One important factor in preventing anemia is the level of knowledge among pregnant women. Lack of knowledge can cause pregnant women to fail to recognize the signs and symptoms of anemia, which can result in delays in seeking health services and appropriate treatment. If anemia is not detected and treated early on, it can develop into severe anemia, which can increase the risk of pregnancy complications. Objective: To determine the effect of audiovisual media on anemia prevention in increasing the knowledge of pregnant women in the Ciwaruga community health center area. Research Method: This study used a quantitative, pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test. The study sample consisted of 37 pregnant women selected using accidental sampling. Results: There was an increase in pregnant women’s knowledge of anemia prevention. The Wilcoxon test showed a difference in knowledge levels, with a p-value < 0.001 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Audiovisual media were effective in increasing pregnant women’s knowledge about anemia, with pre-test and post-test p-values <0.001.Keywords: Anemia, Pregnant Women, Health Education, Knowledge.

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has been increased and our diagnostic strategies are limited to only body mass index (BMI), blood sugar level and life style changes. This is actually a silent driver which we ignored in diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The elevated level of blood sugar tells us that our pancreas is struggling while high level of cadmium in urine and blood exhibits why pancreas is struggling. Until, we test blood and urinary cadmium levels we cannot reach the actual cause of high blood sugar level. Thus, we ignore a cause which should actually be removed. Therefore, the concentration of cadmium should not be ignored during the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus especially in big cities of Pakistan where exposure is on its peak level.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis continues to be a major public health issue, particularly in coastal areas where access to healthcare services is often constrained and living conditions differ from inland settings. Treatment failure remains a persistent challenge for tuberculosis control programs at the primary healthcare level. This study aimed to identify factors associated with pulmonary tuberculosis treatment failure in a coastal primary healthcare setting. Methods: An analytical observational study with a case–control design was conducted, involving 48 participants, comprising 24 cases (treatment failure) and 24 controls (treatment success). Data were obtained from tuberculosis program records and through structured interviews. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square test was performed to identify potential determinants (p ≤ 0.25), followed by binary logistic regression to determine factors independently associated with treatment failure. Results: Treatment adherence was the only factor that remained significantly associated with treatment failure after adjustment (AOR = 14.81; p = 0.016). Other variables, including distance to health facilities, knowledge, history of comorbid disease, family support, anxiety, and the role of the treatment supervisor (Pengawas Minum Obat or PMO), did not show significant associations in the multivariable model, although some demonstrated a tendency toward increased risk. Conclusion: Adherence to treatment plays a decisive role in determining tuberculosis treatment outcomes. Strengthening adherence should therefore be prioritized to reduce treatment failure, particularly in coastal communities where structural and social conditions may affect patients’ ability to complete treatment.

Abstract

Background: It is required to provide adequate equipment to optimize farmers' pesticide safety management. Pesticide storage and rinsing facilities are necessary to improve farmers' pesticide safety management practices. Water, PPE, a pesticide box, and a first-aid box are all included. This study focuses on describing farmer behaviour in terms of pesticide storage and the use of rinse homes. Methods: Seven farmers from X Village's farmer group participated in this qualitative study. In-depth semi-structured interviews and observation were used to gather data. Interviews were taped and transcribed word by word, then categorized and coded. The data was interpreted, and the outcomes were examined accordingly. Results: The findings revealed that the farmers did not make effective use of the amenities. They simply used the water facilities for hand washing and tank rinsing, and they only wore masks instead of full PPE. The findings revealed that farmers are aware of the dangers of pesticides, but they are comfortable with their old practices and rely on the farmer's habits. The pesticide box increases storing behaviour significantly. Farmers have also made use of the first-aid kit.  Conclusion: According to this research, the provision of facilities has not been able to modify farmers' behaviour in pesticide safety management. The first step towards changing one's behaviour is to become aware of the problem. The more intensive contact between planners, farmers, and other stakeholders are essential.

Abstract

Introduction: Laying hen farming constitutes a vital agricultural subsector that plays a significant role in meeting the demand for animal-based food products. However, livestock production is also recognized as a major source of atmospheric ammonia emissions. Ammonia has a negative impact on public health and the environment. This study aims to analyze the environmental health risks of exposure to ammonia gas around laying hens farms. Methods: The research was carried out using a descriptive design method of environmental health risk analysis (EHRA). The population in this study was the community around the laying hen farm with a sample of 95 respondents. Measurement of ammonia gas was carried out using a spectrophotometer using the Indophenol method based on SNI 19-7119.6-2005. Air samples were taken at three points. Results: The results of this study showed that the largest concentration was 0.00807 mg/Nm3 and the lowest was 0.00711 mg/Nm3. Based on an analysis of environmental health risks, the RQ value at the highest concentration was 0.00466 for the adult population and 0.00618 for the child population. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that exposure to ammonia gas in the adult population weighing 55kg and the child population weighing 25kg around the laying hen farm in Darsono Village is still within safe limits for a frequency of 350 days/year for the next 9 years. The advice that can be given is that the farm concerned needs to carry out livestock waste management as a source of ammonia emissions in laying hen farms.

Abstract

Background: Anemia among adolescent girls remains a public health problem affecting academic performance, productivity, and future reproductive health. Low levels of knowledge and negative attitudes toward anemia prevention are important risk factors. The use of digital-based educational media, such as the M-Health Anemia Rematri application, is expected to improve the effectiveness of health education. This study aimed to determine the effect of education delivered through the M-Health Anemia Rematri application on knowledge, attitudes, hemoglobin levels, and anemia status among adolescent girls at MA Muslimat NU. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 62 adolescent girls selected using simple random sampling based on the inclusion criteria. The intervention involved educational delivery through the M-Health Anemia Rematri application. Data were collected using questionnaires to assess knowledge and attitudes, as well as measurements of hemoglobin levels and anemia status using a digital Hb device. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods. Normality was assessed using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, while hypothesis testing was conducted using the paired sample t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and McNemar test. Result: This study was conducted on 62 adolescent girls. The statistical analysis showed that the educational intervention using the M-Health Anemia Rematri application had a significant effect on knowledge (p = 0.001), attitudes (p = 0.001), and hemoglobin levels (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Education through the M-Health Anemia Rematri application is effective in improving knowledge, attitudes, and hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. This application has the potential to serve as an innovative and accessible educational medium for anemia prevention.

Abstract

Background: Hepatitis C (HCV) infection is the most commonly acquired infection for patients on hemodialysis and is associated with significant morbidity and disease progression. The efficacy and the safety of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) in patients with HCV in Yemen are still under investigation. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Sofosbuvir and Daclatasvir in the treatment of HCV infection among Yemeni patients who are on hemodialysis. Method: Prospective study of twenty-eight Yemeni patients confirmed with HCV infection who were undergoing hemodialysis during the period from the beginning of January 2023 to the end of December 2024. This study was conducted in the dialysis department at Al Gomhori Hospital in Taiz City, Yemen.Results: During the study period, a Total of 28 Yemeni patients were included: 14 (50%) males and 14 (50%) females, aged 18 to 70 years, with a mean age of 44 ± 12 years. The viral load at the beginning of the study was low in most patients (21, 75%), moderate in 1 (4%), and high in 6 (21%). Early virological response ( EVR) was achieved in 25 (89.03%) patients. One patient(3,6%) had detectable target post treatment, one patient (3,6%) died during the study period, and one patient (3,6%) experienced a side effect that led to discontinuation of the drugs. After 12 weeks of stopping the drugs, sustained virological response (SVR) was achieved in 25 (100%) patients. Conclusion: The combination of Sofosbuvir and daclatasvir was effective and safe in treating HCV infection among Yemeni patients undergoing hemodialysis
