Abstract

Background: Based on data from the Gorontalo Provincial Health Office in 2023, the number of LBW babies was 1,285 out of 18,724 births. LBW is caused by several factors, including the mother's age during pregnancy, primigravida status, the mother's gestational age at delivery, anemia in pregnant women, intrauterine growth restriction, and the number of antenatal care (ANC) visits. Among these causal factors, the incidence of LBW is more likely to occur in first pregnancies or primigravida cases..   Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between primigravida and low birth weight (LBW) in the NICU of Toto Kabila Regional General Hospital in Bone Bolango Regency.   Methods: This study design uses a correlational research design, which aims to analyze the relationship between two or more variables without attempting to determine their influence. The sampling technique used in this study is simple random sampling, with a sample size of 113 newborns delivered by cesarean section with a history of primigravida pregnancy in the NICU of Toto Kabila Regional General Hospital. The statistical analysis used is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Results: The results of the study obtained a p-value of 0.273 > 0.05, meaning that there is no relationship between primigravida and the incidence of LBW in the NICU room of Toto Kabila Regional General Hospital, Bone Bolango Regency.  Conclusion: It is hoped that this can serve as information and a solution to improve the quality and standard of NICU services in reducing the incidence of LBW. For educational institutions, especially nursing schools, it is hoped that this can provide additional information in developing and conducting further research on factors related to LBW in primigravida, such as maternal health status, factors related to pregnancy outside of marriage, ANC visits, and nutritional status.

Abstract

Background:   The nutritional status of elementary school-aged children is a crucial factor in determining the quality of future human resources. However, limited nutritional knowledge among children remains a challenge, particularly in coastal areas with restricted access to information. Purpose:  This study aims to assess the effectiveness of leaflet-based educational media in improving students' knowledge about balanced nutrition at Elementary School 2 Toronipa, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods:   This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 45 students from grades III, IV, and V, selected through total sampling. The research instrument was a multiple-choice questionnaire developed based on the Balanced Nutrition Guidelines from the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The study procedure included a pretest, an educational intervention using leaflets, and a posttest. Results:   The results showed that before the intervention, the majority of students had moderate (51.1%) and low (31.1%) levels of knowledge. Following the intervention, there was a significant increase in the high knowledge category to 73.4%, while the low category decreased to 2.2%. The average knowledge score improved from 11.3 to 16.6. The paired sample t-test indicated a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000; p < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the leaflet in enhancing students’ nutritional knowledge. Conclusion:   Leaflets are an efficient, easy-to-understand, and engaging educational medium for elementary school children. These findings have positive implications for school-based nutrition education programs, especially in regions with limited access to information. Leaflet media can be integrated into health promotion programs to improve nutritional literacy and support healthy lifestyles from an early age.

Abstract

Background: The CERDIK program (Check, Eat, Regular exercise, Drugs, Insulin injection, and Control blood glucose) is a key self‑management strategy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). However, patient adherence remains suboptimal in many primary health care settings.Objective: To identify family support, diabetes knowledge, and motivation as factors associated with CERDIK behavior among T2DM patients at Puskesmas Moramo.Methods: A cross‑sectional study was conducted in May 2024 among 42 T2DM patients attending Puskesmas Moramo. Participants were recruited by consecutive sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires for family support, diabetes knowledge, motivation, and CERDIK behavior (Cronbach’s α = 0.82–0.90). Spearman’s rank correlation was performed in SPSS v26 with α = 0.05.Results: The mean age was 57.3 ± 8.5 years; 58.3% were female. Good CERDIK behavior was observed in 24 (57.1%) patients. Family support was moderately correlated with CERDIK behavior (ρ = 0.483; p = 0.001). Diabetes knowledge (ρ = 0.395; p = 0.008) and motivation (ρ = 0.317; p = 0.035) also showed significant positive correlations with CERDIK behavior. Conclusion: Family support, diabetes knowledge, and motivation are significant factors influencing CERDIK behavior in T2DM patients at Puskesmas Moramo. Interventions should integrate family involvement, targeted education, and motivational enhancement to improve self‑management and glycemic outcomes.

Abstract

Background:  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.
