Abstract

Background: Stunting occurs in children aged 0-59 months, caused by nutritional problems during pregnancy or infancy. Therefore, nutrition in the first year of life, namely breast milk and complementary foods, must be considered early and from the first time it is given. Self-Efficacy is one of the factors that shape maternal behavior in supporting nutrition given to toddlers. Good self-efficacy can support the formation of stunting prevention behavior and can improve health. Self-efficacy is the mother's trust and confidence in carrying out complementary feeding activities, by providing food at the right time and in sufficient quantities, frequency, composition, and variety, providing safe food, creating a comfortable environment when eating, and providing appropriate responses to eating behavior in children. Purpose: To determine the relationship between maternal feeding self-efficacy (MP-ASI) and stunting prevention behavior in the Kedung Waringin Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area, Bekasi Regency. Methods: This study used a quantitative cross-sectional approach, using primary data. The study population was 119 mothers with toddlers in the Kedung Waringin Community Health Center working area. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data collection used the CFSE and Stunting Prevention Behavior questionnaires. Data were analyzed using chi-square. Results: The relationship between feeding self-efficacy and stunting prevention behavior obtained a p-value of 0.154 > α = 0.05. Conclusion: There was no relationship between maternal feeding self-efficacy and stunting prevention behavior in the Kedung Waringin Community Health Center working area, Bekasi Regency.

Abstract

Background: Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, are a serious health problem with increasing prevalence and risk of complications like infection and amputation. Modern wound dressing, as an innovative approach, is considered effective in creating an optimal moist wound environment to accelerate healing. Purpose: This literature review aims to analyze the effectiveness of various types of modern dressings on the chronic wound healing process. Methods: Articles were collected from PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases using the keywords "Modern wound dressing" AND ("hydrocolloid" OR "alginate" OR "silver dressing") AND "chronic wound healing", limited to publications from 2021 to 2025. A total of 10 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: The findings indicate that modern dressings (hydrocolloid, silver dressing, alginate) are effective in accelerating wound healing through mechanisms such as maintaining a moist environment, enhancing angiogenesis and collagen deposition, modulating immune responses (M2 macrophage polarization), and providing an antibacterial effect. Conclusion: These dressings are relatively safe, biocompatible, and can improve patient comfort. However, their effectiveness depends greatly on the accurate selection of the dressing type according to wound characteristics. Training for healthcare workers in dressing selection and further research on the development of innovative materials, such as bioactiveloaded dressings, are recommended.

Abstract

Background: Basic immunization is one of the most effective public health interventions to prevent infectious diseases and reduce morbidity and mortality among infants and young children. Despite the availability of immunization services, coverage rates in several regions of Indonesia have declined in recent years, indicating persistent challenges in immunization uptake. Maternal factors, particularly knowledge, attitudes, and behavior, play a crucial role in decision-making regarding childhood immunization. Inadequate knowledge, negative attitudes, and vaccine hesitancy among mothers may contribute to incomplete immunization, even when health services are accessible. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding the importance of basic immunization for infants. Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design conducted at the Integrated Health Post (Posyandu) RT 002, Karangsatria Subdistrict, Bekasi Regency, Indonesia. Total of 117 respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis using the chi-square test to examine relationships between variables. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Bani Saleh Health College (No: EC.200/KEPK/STKBS/VII/2024). Results: Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between maternal knowledge and attitudes toward basic immunization (p = 0.008). However, no significant relationship was found between maternal knowledge and immunization behavior (p = 0.060), nor between maternal attitudes and immunization behavior (p = 0.348). Conclusion: Maternal knowledge was significantly associated with attitudes toward basic immunization, whereas neither knowledge nor attitudes were significantly associated with immunization behavior, indicating that immunization practices are influenced by factors beyond individual cognition and attitudes.

Abstract

Background: Depression is a common mood disorder among the elderly, particularly those living in social care institutions. Factors such as social isolation, loss of family support, and chronic health conditions contribute to increased vulnerability. Understanding the level and characteristics of depression in this population is essential for developing targeted interventions. Purpose: This study aimed to describe the level of depression and its demographic characteristics among elderly residents at Tresna Werdha Budi Mulia 1 Social Care Institution. Methods: A quantitative descriptive design was used with 162 elderly residents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) and a demographic questionnaire. Univariate analysis was performed using SPSS version 22. Results: The majority of respondents were female (59.3%), aged 60–74 years (66.7%), widowed (66.0%), and had a high school education (65.4%). Mild depression was the most prevalent (43.8%), followed by moderate depression (35.2%). A small proportion experienced severe depression (7.4%). Hypertension was the most common health complaint (45.7%). Conclusion: Mild depression is prevalent among institutionalized elderly. Factors such as gender, marital status, length of stay, and health conditions may influence depression levels. These findings highlight the need for mental health screening and psychosocial support programs in elderly care institutions.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. Public knowledge regarding hypertension management in coastal areas remains limited, as coastal communities generally consume high-salt diets due to the frequent intake of salted fish and processed seafood products. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet education as an integrated nutritional approach to hypertension control in coastal areas. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest–posttest without a control group. The research was conducted in the coastal area of Atowatu Village, Soropia District. The study population consisted of individuals with mild to moderate hypertension residing in the coastal area of Atowatu Village, Soropia District. A total of 70 participants were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Prior to the intervention, 48 respondents (68.6%) had poor knowledge, while 22 respondents (31.4%) had moderate knowledge. After the educational intervention, 1 respondent (1.4%) had poor knowledge, 62 respondents (88.6%) had moderate knowledge, and 7 respondents (10%) demonstrated good knowledge. Regarding hypertension categories, before DASH diet education, 38 respondents (54.3%) were classified as having severe hypertension. Following the intervention, the majority of respondents were classified as having mild hypertension (48 respondents; 68.8%). Conclusion: There was a statistically significant difference in knowledge levels before and after the DASH diet education (p = 0.000), indicating that DASH diet education as an integrated nutritional approach significantly influenced hypertension control in the coastal area of Atowatu.

Abstract

Background: Falls are a major cause of injury and disability among older adults. Tai Chi, with its slow and controlled movements, is a promising intervention for improving balance and reducing fall risk. Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of a structured two-week Tai Chi program on physical performance and fall risk among elderly nursing home residents in East Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pre-post design was used with 20 participants (mean age 66.4±4.2 years; 85% female). Fall risk was assessed using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) before and after a 10-session Tai Chi program. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Pre-intervention SPPB scores indicated high fall risk (Mean=7.8±1.1). Post-intervention scores improved significantly (Mean=9.6±1.0; p=0.046). The proportion of participants classified as "stable" (SPPB 10-12) increased from 0% to 20%. Conclusion: A short-term Tai Chi program significantly improved physical performance and reduced fall risk in institutionalized elderly, supporting its integration into nursing home fall prevention strategies.

Abstract

Background: Compassion fatigue among nurses is a growing global concern that not only affects nurses' psychological well-being but may also compromise patient care quality, particularly pain management. However, the relationship between compassion fatigue and pain management practices remains underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between compassion fatigue and pain management practices among nurses, and identify predictors of inadequate pain management. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 412 nurses recruited from 10 teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) measuring compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress; and the Pain Management Practices Scale (PMPS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, hierarchical regression, and structural equation modeling.. Results: High compassion fatigue was reported by 48.3% of nurses. Pain management practices were suboptimal (mean=58.64/100). Significant negative correlations were found between burnout and pain management (r=-0.512, p<0.001), and between secondary traumatic stress and pain management (r=-0.468, p<0.001). Regression analysis revealed that burnout (β=-0.324), secondary traumatic stress (β=-0.286), compassion satisfaction (β=0.298), nurse-to-patient ratio (β=-0.242), and work unit (β=-0.184) were significant predictors, explaining 51.6% of variance. Conclusion: Compassion fatigue significantly compromises nurses' ability to provide adequate pain management. Addressing this issue requires organizational interventions including psychological support, manageable workloads, and compassion-focused training to protect both nurse well-being and patient care quality.

Abstract

Background: Loneliness among the elderly is a critical public health concern associated with adverse mental and physical health outcomes. In Indonesia, rapid urbanization and shifting family structures may exacerbate this issue, yet data on its prevalence at the primary healthcare level remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of loneliness and identify key demographic correlates among community-dwelling elderly in the working area. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2024. Using consecutive sampling, 109 elderly participants aged ≥60 years were enrolled. Data were collected using the validated Indonesian version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) and a structured demographic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and frequency distributions were used for data analysis. Results: The study revealed that 74.3% of participants experienced mild loneliness, while 16.5% reported no loneliness, 8.3% had moderate loneliness, and 0.9% experienced severe loneliness. Significant demographic correlates included female gender (72.5%), age 60-69 years (78.9%), elementary education level (47.7%), unemployment status (69.7%), widowhood (51.4%), and low income (<IDR 1,500,000; 87.2%). Conclusion: Mild loneliness is prevalent among the elderly in this community, with distinct demographic correlates. These findings emphasize the need for targeted, community-based psychosocial interventions integrated into primary healthcare services to address loneliness among vulnerable elderly populations.
