Abstract

Background: During cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial life-saving procedure. Since they are frequently the first responders in critical care units, nurses' knowledge and dispositions have a direct impact on patient survival rates. Despite the availability of standardized training, data show that nurses' CPR skills are seriously lacking. Assessing nurses' attitudes and knowledge about CPR and determining the relationship between these variables and their length of service in critical care settings were the goals of this study. Methods: In Klang, Malaysia, at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (HTAR), a quantitative cross-sectional design was used. Convenience sampling was used to select 152 nurses from the intensive care unit (ICU) and the coronary care unit (CCU). A validated self-administered questionnaire comprising three sections demographic data, 14 true/false knowledge items, and 13 Likert-scale attitude items was used to collect the data. We examined the data using IBM SPSS v27 and applied descriptive and inferential statistics, including Spearman's rank correlation tests, Chi-square, and Shapiro-Wilk normality. Results: The average attitude score (3.74 ± 0.33) indicated that people had a generally positive attitude, while the average knowledge score (0.59 ± 0.11) indicated that people understood CPR well. There were significant knowledge gaps regarding the rate of compressions (27.6%) and the depth of chest compressions (0%) as well. Knowledge was significantly predicted by ward assignment (p = 0.002) and length of service (p < 0.001). Experience had a substantial impact on attitude (p < 0.001), with more experienced nurses expressing greater confidence and preparedness, but continued hesitancy regarding mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Conclusions: The HTAR nurses demonstrated a modest level of CPR knowledge and generally favourable attitudes, despite significant deficiencies in numerous critical procedural areas. Ongoing refresher training, simulation-based learning, and supportive ward environments are essential to preserving competency and improving resuscitation outcomes in critical care units.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major public health problem associated with a high risk of chronic complications. Preventing these complications requires active family involvement, particularly mothers as primary caregivers in managing family health. The Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) approach is considered relevant for strengthening family empowerment within the Pandhalungan cultural context. This study aimed to analyze the effect of implementing family empowerment among Pandhalungan mothers based on the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) on preventive behaviors for type 2 DM complications. Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 240 Pandhalungan mothers, with a sample of 165 respondents selected using multistage random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring the implementation of NFP based family empowerment and preventive behaviors for type 2 DM complications. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rank correlation and logistic regression tests. Results: There was a significant relationship between the implementation of NFP and preventive behaviors for type 2 DM complications (r = 0.612; p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis indicated that NFP implementation was a significant predictor of preventive behavior (OR = 4.21; p < 0.001). Conclusions: The Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) based family empowerment approach provides a culturally appropriate and effective strategy for improving preventive behaviors in managing type 2 DM complications at the community level.

Abstract

Background: In order to ensure human health and raise the standard of living for people, plants and their crops have been extremely important. Yams are extremely important for both food security and medicine in poor nations. Dioscorea alata, a species of yam, provides an advantage for sustained production because of its relatively strong agronomic traits. This study's main goal was to generate composite food products, and the yam's relatively strong agronomic characteristics offer a sustained production advantage. Materials and methods: The food items that were created, namely biscuits, had improved nutritional value. Composite biscuits were made by combining wheat flour with D. alata flour in three distinct formulas (5%, 10%, and 15%). Results: D. alata Yam's compositional analysis revealed that the samples with and without peels had the following contents: moisture (69.13±1.48%) and 66.85±1.47%); ash (2.11±0.03%) and (1.99±0.19%); fat (0.40±0.80%) and 1.07±0.12; crude fiber (2.06±0.12%) and (2.57±0.22%); protein (2.4±1.39) and (6.31±0.34) and carbohydrates (28.01±1.40%) and (28.24±1.52%), respectively. Overall, composite flour can be used as an unusual ingredient in baked goods. Based on the sensory evaluation, the results indicated that biscuits made with 5% composite flour were superior to those made with 10% and 15% composite flour. Conclusion:  It was shown that food products manufactured with composite flour can nevertheless have properties that are comparable to those made with whole wheat flour. Overall, the test panelists found the created biscuits (5% DAYF integrated) to be satisfactory in terms of appearance, color, flavor, taste, and texture.

Abstract

Background: Hormonal contraceptives widely used for family planning, can trigger side effects such as hypertension due to synthetic hormones affecting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This study aims to determine the effect of acupressure at points PC6 (Neiguan), LR3 (Taichong), and SP6 (Sanyinjiao) on blood pressure among hormonal contraceptive users with hypertension at TPMB Sumariyah, Malang City. Methods: This quantitative research employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 26 hormonal contraceptive users with hypertension were selected using consecutive sampling. Data collection involved measuring blood pressure before and after a seven-day intervention consisting of three acupressure sessions. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test due to non-normal distribution. Results: The study found a significant reduction in blood pressure following the intervention. The mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 145.85 mmHg (SD 7.45) to 126.15 mmHg (SD 6.37), while the mean diastolic pressure decreased from 92.00 mmHg (SD 6.88) to 75.38 mmHg (SD 8.59). Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.000 for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, indicating a highly significant effect. Quantitatively, 100% of participants experienced a decrease in systolic pressure. Conclusions: Acupressure at points PC6, LR3, and SP6 effectively reduces blood pressure in hormonal contraceptive users with hypertension. This non-pharmacological therapy can serve as a complementary approach for midwives to manage contraceptive side effects. Future research should incorporate control groups and consider broader lifestyle factors and medical histories to further validate these findings.

Abstract

Background: Stunting represents a severe global health burden, affecting over 50% of children under five worldwide. In Indonesia, it remains a pressing national health concern. According to the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey, Yogyakarta Province reported a stunting prevalence of 16.4%, with Kulonprogo Regency contributing 15.8% of cases. The first 1000 days of life constitute a critical window for nutritional intervention, wherein parental feeding practices significantly influence childhood growth trajectories and nutritional outcomes. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the correlation between distinct parental feeding practices and stunting incidence among children aged 12-59 months in Samigaluh, Kulonprogo. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted utilizing stratified random sampling to recruit 26 respondent pairs of parents and children. Data collection incorporated a validated parental feeding practices questionnaire assessing feeding styles through structured interviews, combined with direct anthropometric measurements using standardized techniques. Statistical analysis employed chi-square tests with significance set at p<0.05. Results: The study found a high stunting prevalence of 80.8% (21/26). Democratic feeding practices were employed by 18 parents. Non-democratic practices increased the risk of stunting by 1.7 times (p = 0.014), while permissive practices doubled the risk (p = 0.0005) compared to non-permissive approaches. However, authoritarian practices showed no statistically significant association with stunting. Conclusions: Parental feeding practices exhibit a substantial correlation with stunting incidence in this community. Public health initiatives should prioritize educational interventions promoting responsive, non-permissive feeding strategies to effectively reduce stunting prevalence in this vulnerable population.

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the predominant cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Statin therapy is an important part of managing cholesterol since it can help stop and treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of statin therapy and the extent to which clinical practices comply with the 2018 ACC-AHA guidelines for the risk management of ASCVD. Methods: This retrospective descriptive analysis assessed the effectiveness of statin therapy and adherence to the latest ACC-AHA guidelines for managing ASCVD risk. After putting the participants into four risk groups, we looked at how well they followed the instructions for using statins. Results: According to the study's rules, 88.4% of patients were taking their medicine correctly, and 73.5% of patients were on statin therapy. The high adherence rate (81.0%) shows that taking statin medicine is necessary for better cardiovascular outcomes. However, it was found that 11.6% of patients were not taking statins correctly. This was either because they were not prescribed enough in the high-risk group or too much in the low-risk group. There was a strong link between taking statins and being older, being male, having been in the hospital before, and having other health problems such high blood pressure and diabetes (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study's findings stress even more the need to keep improving statin medications and making sure that clinical processes follow the ACC-AHA guidelines for prescribing statins and assessing ASCVD risk. Future study should concentrate on the enduring impacts and strategies to reconcile the disparity between professional standards and clinical practice.
