Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of combining Benson relaxation therapy with the recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman of the Qur'an on sleep quality in hypertensive patients. Research Method: This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a control group approach. A total of 40 respondents were divided into two groups: the intervention group, which received a combination of Benson relaxation therapy and Surah Ar-Rahman murottal, and the control group, which received no treatment. Respondents' sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) instrument. Results and Discussion: The results showed a significant improvement in sleep quality in the intervention group after therapy, while the control group showed no significant change. Statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that the combination of Benson's relaxation therapy and recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman from the Qur'an significantly improved sleep quality in hypertensive patients. These findings suggest that the combination of therapies can serve as a safe, easy-to-apply, non-pharmacological intervention to improve sleep quality in hypertensive patients. Implications: The practical implication of these findings is that healthcare professionals can incorporate Benson therapy and the recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman as a non-pharmacological intervention in the management of hypertension. This method is easy to implement both in healthcare facilities and independently at home, thereby helping to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and support patients’ blood pressure control.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between mental health, self-confidence, and self-control with fatherlessness among grade IX students at SMP Negeri 4 Bae Kudus. The hypothesis proposed that poorer mental health, lower self-confidence, and weaker self-control are significantly associated with higher fatherlessness. Research Method: This research used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 212 grade IX students, and 139 respondents were selected using Slovin’s formula with proportional random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, including the MHC-SF, self-confidence scale, self-control scale, and Father Presence Questionnaire, then analyzed using univariate and Chi-Square tests. Results and Discussion: The findings showed significant relationships between mental health and fatherlessness (p=0.000), self-confidence and fatherlessness (p=0.000), and self-control and fatherlessness (p=0.003). These results indicate that lower paternal involvement is associated with poorer psychological well-being, reduced confidence, and weaker self-regulation among adolescents. Implications: The findings highlight the importance of fathers’ emotional presence in adolescent development and suggest strengthening family-based interventions and school counseling support, as well as further research on paternal involvement and adolescent well-being.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether different doses of red watermelon juice, namely 150 ml and 250 ml, were effective in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients in Ngepungrojo Village, Pati. It was hypothesized that both doses would lower blood pressure, with a possible difference in effectiveness between the two intervention groups. Research Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test post-test approach involving 32 hypertensive patients selected through total sampling. Respondents were divided into two intervention groups, each receiving 150 ml or 250 ml of red watermelon juice. Blood pressure was measured before and after intervention using a digital sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test. Results and Discussion: Both intervention groups showed significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after treatment. In the 150 ml group, blood pressure decreased significantly, and similar results were observed in the 250 ml group. However, no statistically significant difference was found between the effectiveness of the 150 ml and 250 ml doses. Implications: Red watermelon juice may be considered a simple non-pharmacological intervention to help control blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Further studies with larger samples and stricter control of confounding factors are recommended.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined whether maternal characteristics and pregnancy complications associated with low birth weight influence the growth of infants aged 1–6 months in the Kaliwungu Health Center working area, Kudus Regency. The study hypothesized that selected maternal and pregnancy-related determinants would be associated with infant growth outcomes. Research Method: A quantitative observational study with a retrospective cohort approach was conducted among 38 infants aged 1–6 months with a history of low birth weight. Total sampling was applied. Data were obtained from medical records and observation sheets covering maternal age, education, occupation, parity, gestational age, anemia, chronic energy deficiency, preeclampsia, anxiety, and infant growth based on body weight. Data were analyzed using univariate statistics and Fisher’s Exact Test. Results and Discussion: Most infants showed normal growth (76.3%), while 23.7% were classified as malnourished. No significant association was found between infant growth and maternal age (p=0.312), education (p=1.000), occupation (p=0.242), parity (p=0.436), gestational age (p=0.126), anemia (p=1.000), chronic energy deficiency (p=1.000), preeclampsia (p=0.613), or anxiety (p=1.000). Although growth variation was observed, many low birth weight infants demonstrated adequate early growth. Implications: These findings emphasize the need for continuous pregnancy prevention strategies, early risk detection, and routine growth monitoring for low birth weight infants. Further studies with larger samples are needed to identify longer-term determinants of postnatal growth.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the treatment of dengue hemorrhagic fever in adult inpatients at Panti Rahayu Yakkum Purwodadi Hospital and to evaluate the appropriateness of therapy based on the 2020 Indonesian Ministry of Health guideline. Research Method: This research used a non-experimental observational design with a retrospective descriptive-analytic approach. Data were collected from the medical records of 95 adult inpatients diagnosed with dengue hemorrhagic fever during January-September 2025 using purposive sampling. The variables included patient characteristics, supportive therapy, concomitant drugs, and therapeutic appropriateness. Data were analyzed descriptively and evaluatively. Results and Discussion: The most frequently used therapies were Ringer Lactate infusion (96.84%), paracetamol 500 mg (50.53%), and intravenous paracetamol (45.26%). Evaluation showed appropriate indication in 70.5% of cases, appropriate drug in 51.6%, appropriate patient in 93.7%, and appropriate dose in 95.8%. The findings indicate that dengue treatment was largely dominated by supportive therapy, although some inappropriate drug use was still identified. Implications: The findings underscore the importance of adherence to clinical guidelines for improving therapeutic safety and effectiveness. Further studies are recommended to examine the relationship between therapeutic appropriateness, clinical outcomes, complications, and length of hospitalization.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the use of antituberculosis drugs (OAT) in HIV/AIDS patients with tuberculosis coinfection at X Hospital in Kudus by identifying patient characteristics, patterns of OAT and antiretroviral (ARV) use, and the rationality of OAT therapy using the Gyssens method. Research Method: This study used a descriptive evaluative design with a retrospective approach based on medical record data. The sample consisted of 41 HIV/AIDS patients with TB coinfection treated at X Hospital in Kudus during November 2024-November 2025, selected using total sampling. Data were analyzed univariately, while therapeutic rationality was assessed using the Gyssens method. Results and Discussion: Most patients were adults (92.7%) and male (82.9%). The most common OAT regimen was RHZE (4FDC) (70.7%), while the dominant ARV regimen was TLD (95.1%). All OATs were administered orally as tablets, and the duration of therapy was appropriate in all cases. The Gyssens evaluation showed rational OAT use in 95.1% of patients and irrational use in 4.9%, with inappropriate dosage as the main problem. Implications: These findings indicate that OAT prescribing practices were generally consistent with treatment guidelines, but body-weight-based dose adjustment still requires improvement. Further studies should explore the relationship between rational therapy, adherence, and clinical outcomes in TB-HIV patients.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of effleurage massage on the intensity of labor pain during the first active phase among mothers giving birth at Sunan Kudus Islamic Hospital. It was hypothesized that the application of effleurage massage would significantly reduce the intensity of labor pain. Research Method: This study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 46 mothers in the first active phase of labor were selected using purposive sampling. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Wilcoxon test after the Shapiro-Wilk normality test indicated a non-normal distribution. Results and Discussion: The mean pain score decreased from 3.59 before the intervention to 2.74 after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test result showed p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of effleurage massage on reducing labor pain intensity. These findings suggest that effleurage massage is an effective, safe, and simple non-pharmacological intervention for improving maternal comfort during labor. Implications: The findings support integrating effleurage massage into routine midwifery care. Further studies with control groups and larger sample sizes are recommended to strengthen evidence of its clinical effectiveness.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the anxiety level of postpartum mothers and breastfeeding practices at Srikandi Husada Clinic, Bae District, Kudus Regency, in 2025. It was hypothesized that higher maternal anxiety would be associated with less optimal breastfeeding practices. Research Method: This study used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 32 postpartum mothers selected from postpartum visits at Srikandi Husada Clinic. Anxiety level was measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS-A), while breastfeeding practice was assessed using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and Fisher’s Exact Test. Results and Discussion: Most respondents experienced mild anxiety (40.6%), followed by moderate anxiety (31.3%). In terms of breastfeeding, 53.1% of mothers practiced predominant breastfeeding, 37.5% partial breastfeeding, and 9.4% did not breastfeed. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between postpartum maternal anxiety and breastfeeding practice (p < 0.001). Higher anxiety levels were associated with a lower tendency to provide optimal breastfeeding. Implications: These findings highlight the importance of maternal psychological support during the postpartum period to improve breastfeeding outcomes. Further studies are recommended to explore additional psychosocial and family-related factors influencing breastfeeding success.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze patient satisfaction with the implementation of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) in the outpatient department of Jekulo Kudus Community Health Center and to identify the relationship between patient satisfaction and respondent characteristics as well as service-related indicators. It was hypothesized that e-prescribing implementation was associated with a good level of patient satisfaction, although several service attributes still required improvement. Research Method: This study used an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design involving 96 outpatients. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on five SERVQUAL dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Data analysis included validity and reliability testing, univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using the Mann-Whitney test, and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). Results and Discussion: Patient satisfaction was significantly associated with age, education level, health insurance status, and frequency of visits to the pharmacy clinic (p < 0.001), while gender, employment status, and number of medications received were not significantly related (p > 0.05). All SERVQUAL dimensions showed high perceived performance scores, indicating generally good satisfaction. However, IPA identified several priority areas for improvement, particularly the clarity of drug information, staff responsiveness, and patient attention. Implications: The findings indicate that e-prescribing has improved outpatient pharmaceutical services, but continuous efforts are needed to strengthen communication and patient-centered interaction. Further studies should explore system efficiency and long-term patient outcomes.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the treatment profile and the type and severity of anti-tuberculosis drug (OAT) side effects in pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Bhina Bhakti Husada Rembang Hospital. It was hypothesized that most patients would receive first-line OAT regimens and experience side effects predominantly of moderate severity. Research Method: This study used a descriptive observational method with a cross-sectional design. Data were obtained retrospectively from the medical records of 106 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis receiving first-line OAT therapy at Bhina Bhakti Husada Rembang Hospital. The variables included patient characteristics, treatment patterns, types of OAT side effects, and severity of adverse drug reactions. Data were analyzed using univariate descriptive analysis. Results and Discussion: Most patients were aged 41-60 years (43.4%), male (64.2%), had a body weight of 30-49 kg (61.3%), and underwent treatment for 1-3 months (42.5%). The most common regimen was category 1 RHZE 2 FDC (39.6%). The most frequent side effects were reddish urine (100.0%), nausea and vomiting (83.0%), and flu syndrome (70.8%). Most side effects were categorized as moderate (56.6%). Implications: The findings emphasize the importance of routine monitoring and early management of OAT side effects, particularly during the early treatment phase. Further studies are needed to examine risk factors associated with severe adverse reactions and their impact on treatment adherence.
