Abstract

Background: Babies at a young age are susceptible to diseases. Immunity that has not yet formed makes it easier for babies to be infected with bacteria or fungi. Oral thrush is one of the most common infections. According to research conducted by Eranika in 2016, in Indonesia, around 2.4 million babies have oral thrush. There are many ways to deal with oral thrush; one is to maintain oral health through oral hygiene. Consistent oral hygiene measures in babies can reduce the risk of oral thrush, preventing serious problems. Purpose: To moisturize the oral mucosa and reduce plaque in the mouth. Method: Using qualitative methods with a case study approach. The subjects used in this case study were two infants with oral thrush. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation, and documentation. Results: An assessment was conducted on infants with the same complaints. Both have a nursing diagnosis of oral mucosal membrane disorders. The intervention consisted of oral hygiene measures. After 5 days of implementation, there were significant changes in both subjects: appetite improved, drinking improved, they were not fussy, had a moist oral mucosa, reduced white plaques, and were clean. Conclusion: Oral hygiene is effective in overcoming oral thrush in babies' mouths.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is one of the indirect causes of maternal death. Anemia in pregnancy is a condition in which the hemoglobin level in the blood is less than 11 grams, reducing the body's ability to transport oxygen to tissues. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia was 27% in 2024. The incidence of anemia at the Jagapura Community Health Center, Cirebon Regency, was 18.4% in 2024. Management of anemia involves iron supplementation, dietary changes, and regular monitoring of hemoglobin levels. Dates are foods rich in iron and are part of the local wisdom of the Japura people. Aim: This research aims to address anemia in women by empowering mothers to improve compliance with the consumption of iron tablets and dates. Methods: A case study method is used. The intervention involved the mother and her husband in monitoring compliance with consuming one iron tablet and seven dates per day for 14 days. Mothers' adherence to taking supplements and nutritious foods is supported by the family's active role in monitoring and motivation. Results, There was an increase in the mother’s hemoglobin level and in maternal adherence to taking iron tablets and dates, from 10.1 g/dL to 10.9 g/dL. Conclusions and Implications. Empowering mothers and families to monitor compliance with iron tablets and date consumption effectively increases hemoglobin levels and reduces maternal and infant complications.

Abstract

Background. Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that is still a public health challenge, especially in toddlers, because it has a long-term impact on physical growth, cognitive development, and productivity in the future. Purpose. This study aims to determine the characteristics of stunting determinants in toddlers aged 6–59 months in Pekalipan Village, Cirebon City in 2025. Method. The study used an analytical observational design with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study was all toddlers aged 6–59 months in the study area, with a sample of 153 respondents. Data analysis was carried out univariate to illustrate the distribution of characteristics of the research variables which included maternal education, maternal age at birth, birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding status, immunization completeness, history of infectious diseases, and feeding patterns.Results. The results showed that most mothers had a high level of education (80.4%) and were at a non-risk age at childbirth (83.0%). The majority of toddlers were born with normal weight (92.8%), received exclusive breastfeeding (74.5%), and had complete immunization status (87.6%). Most of the toddlers had no history of infectious diseases (92.2%), but most respondents had improper feeding patterns (86.9%). The prevalence of stunting in toddlers aged 6-59 months in Pekalipan Village is 19.0%.Conclusion. The conclusions of this study show that although most of the determinant characteristics are in the good category, improper feeding patterns are still the dominant problem that has the potential to contribute to the incidence of stunting. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition education and proper parenting as an effort to prevent stunting in toddlers

Abstract

Background. Stunting is a persistent dietary issue that significantly affects physical growth, cognitive development, and future productivity in children. Aims. This study is to examine the correlation between many variables and the prevalence of stunting in toddlers aged 6–59 months in Pekalipan Village, Cirebon City in 2025. Methods. The research methodology employs an analytical design utilizing a bivariate approach. The association between independent variables (maternal education, maternal age, birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, immunization completeness, history of infectious diseases, and feeding patterns) and the dependent variable (stunting) was analyzed using the Chi-square test and Odds Ratio (OR) calculations. Result. The findings indicated a significant correlation between maternal education (p=0.027), maternal age at childbirth (p=0.007), birth weight (p=0.015), exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.028), history of infectious diseases (p=0.036), and feeding patterns (p=0.018) with the prevalence of stunting in toddlers. Simultaneously, full immunization did not demonstrate a significant correlation with stunting (p=0.382). Conclusion. This study concludes that stunting is affected by multiple maternal, perinatal, and parenting factors; therefore, prevention strategies must be comprehensive, focusing on enhancing maternal education, ensuring nutritional adequacy during pregnancy, preventing infectious diseases, and adopting suitable feeding practices.

Abstract

Background. Dyslipidemia is one of the primary health issues among urban elderly individuals that can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemia occurs due to an imbalance in lipids such as cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein ( HDL). Several risk factors that can increase lipid levels include age, gender, education, occupation, diet, physical activity, and smoking habits. Aims. Research objective: To analyze the relationship between age, gender, education, occupation, diet, physical activity, and smoking habits with the incidence of dyslipidemia in elderly people in RW 04, Kel.Grogol Utara, Kec. Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, DKI Jakarta Province. Methods. The research method used a quantitative, cross-sectional design. Data collection was conducted from July to October 2025, involving 147 respondents. Result. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between age (p=0.25), gender (p=0.72), education (p=0.116), occupation (p=0.57), diet (p=0.294), and smoking habits (p=0.48) with the incidence of dyslipidemia in the elderly. Only physical activity had a significant relationship (p=0.0006) with the incidence of dyslipidemia in the elderly in RW 04, Kel.Grogol Utara, Kec. Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, DKI Jakarta Province. Conclusion. There is a need for a multidisciplinary approach and innovative interventions, such as strengthening educational interventions, organizing community or virtual exercise classes that can be accessed from home, and utilizing digital technology, such as telemedicine platforms and health applications (e-health), to facilitate remote monitoring.

Abstract

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder significantly associated with body composition abnormalities. Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) causes structural lung damage that may predispose patients to sleep disturbances, yet the relationship between OSA and body composition in TB populations remains inadequately explored. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the association between OSA severity and body composition measures including total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and body mass index (BMI) among pulmonary TB patients. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical observational study was conducted at RS Ibnu Sina YW-UMI Makassar from August to November 2025. Eighty-five pulmonary TB patients were selected through purposive sampling. OSA risk was assessed using the STOP-BANG questionnaire, while body composition was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Chi-square tests were performed to examine associations between variables with significance set at p<0.05. Results: Significant associations were found between OSA severity and all body composition parameters: total body fat (p=0.004), visceral fat (p=0.000), subcutaneous fat (p=0.005), and BMI (p=0.000). Severe OSA showed highest prevalence of very high total body fat (46.4%), elevated visceral fat (60.7%), high subcutaneous fat (57.1%), and obesity grade 1 (35.7%). Moderate OSA occurred predominantly in underweight patients (50.0%), revealing a U-shaped BMI-OSA relationship. Conclusions: Visceral fat demonstrated the strongest association with OSA severity in pulmonary TB patients. Comprehensive body composition assessment provides superior clinical utility compared to BMI alone for OSA risk stratification. Implementation. These findings support integrating body composition monitoring into TB management protocols and provide foundation for personalized interventions addressing both infectious disease treatment and metabolic health optimization

Abstract

Background. Education at the professional stage provides the opportunity to practice several important skills, such as anamnesis, physical examination, clinical reasoning, decision-making, empathy, and professionalism, in an integrated manner. This aims to improve student competence by participating directly in the health service process, such as interacting with patients, observing doctors, understanding cases, and independent learningAims. This study aims to examine the impact of organizational culture and commitment on employee engagement and its effects on the performance of clinical educators at the teaching hospitals of the Faculty of Medicine, Swadaya Gunung Jati University. Methods. The research method employed is a quantitative descriptive approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected using a questionnaire employing a Likert scale, involving 92 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS 3. Result. The study's findings indicate that corporate culture and organizational commitment positively and significantly influence employee engagement. Moreover, company culture, organizational commitment, and employee engagement exert a favorable and significant influence on the effectiveness of clinician educators. Employee engagement has been shown to mediate the relationship between organizational culture and organizational commitment and to partially enhance the impact of these factors on the performance of clinicians and educators. Conclusion. The findings suggest that enhancing organizational culture and bolstering organizational commitment can foster clinician-educator physicians' engagement, thereby positively influencing performance in education, service, research, and community outreach. This research aims to provide a foundation for teaching hospital management and for developing sustainable human resource management techniques

Abstract

Background. Digital dentistry is increasingly integrated into prosthodontic practice, but training opportunities for dental trainees may vary. Aims. This study assessed awareness, educational exposure, hands-on experience, perceived curriculum adequacy, and barriers to implementation. Methods. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among interns and postgraduate students using a self-constructed, validated questionnaire. The questionnaire covered awareness of digital dentistry, attendance at lectures/workshops, undergraduate curricular exposure, exposure to specific digital technologies, hands-on use and tools used, perceived adequacy of curricular training, attitudes toward curriculum expansion, primary knowledge sources, perceived barriers, and expected future impact. Data were summarized as n (%) and compared between postgraduates and interns using Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests. Results. A total of 100 responses were analyzed (51 postgraduates, 49 interns). Awareness was high (98% had heard of digital dentistry; 89% knew prosthodontic applications). Workshop/lecture attendance was 43%, higher among postgraduates than interns (p<0.001), while undergraduate curricular exposure was 31%. Reported exposure was highest for scanners (85%), CAD/CAM (81%), and digital impression systems (77%). Hands-on experience in prosthodontics was reported by 40%, more often among postgraduates than interns (p<0.001), with intraoral scanners most commonly used. Only 17% felt curricular training was sufficient, and most supported adding more digital dentistry content. Online resources were the most common knowledge source (50%), and cost/financial issues were the most reported barrier (46%). Conclusion. Trainees showed strong awareness and positive attitudes toward digital dentistry, but practical exposure and perceived curriculum adequacy were limited. Structured hands-on training and resource support may help bridge this gap.
