Abstract

Risk assessment is a systematic procedure employed to detect potential dangers and evaluate the possible consequences of disasters or calamities, ensuring comprehensive hazard identification in the work environment. Integrating risk assessment into management and organizational processes is crucial, especially in healthcare settings like physiotherapy, where patient safety is paramount. This comprehensive review systematically compiled and analyzed relevant studies from scholarly journals, bibliographies, and related articles to evaluate the effectiveness of risk assessment procedures in identifying and mitigating potential hazards in physiotherapy practice. The review specifically focused on the use of the STEADI tool in conjunction with electronic health records (EHR) for joint risk assessments. The risk assessment process involves three key stages: identification, calculation, and implementation of control measures. Various methodologies were explored, including models like CATCH fall administration, PISTI management, multidisciplinary collaboration, and Fall TIPS. Falls, a major global health issue, are the 13th leading cause of death worldwide, with preventive strategies shown to reduce fall-related deaths by up to 92%. Effective risk assessment is essential for ensuring patient safety in physiotherapy. By identifying and mitigating potential risks, particularly those related to falls, healthcare providers can significantly improve patient outcomes and safety in clinical practice.

Abstract

Manual manipulative practices (MMPs), such as chiropractic spinal manipulation, osteopathic treatment, and Tui Na massage, are famous for improving musculoskeletal function but carry risks ranging from minor to severe side effects. Chiropractic therapy generally has minimal adverse effects, while Tui Na is less commonly used. A literature review on patient safety in MMPs involves evaluating studies, synthesizing findings, and identifying themes. While spinal manipulation can be beneficial, it may cause side effects like muscle soreness and headache and, in rare cases, severe complications like stroke. Reporting of adverse events has improved but still does not meet guidelines. Strategies to minimize risks include informed consent, thorough patient history, and adherence to clinical guidelines. These practices can enhance patient care and public health when applied with safety considerations.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), caused by insufficient insulin secretion, impaired insulin activity, or both. One of the management strategies for Diabetes Mellitus is physical exercise. Diabetes exercise is a low-impact aerobic workout recommended by PERSADIA. The fifth series of diabetes exercise, with a duration of 40-60 minutes, is beneficial in converting glucose into energy, thus slowing the progression of diabetes. This study aims to determine the relationship between the duration of the fifth series of diabetes exercise and blood sugar levels in members of PERSADIA at Mayapada Hospital Bogor. The study uses a quantitative descriptive design with a quasi-experimental approach through a one-group pre-posttest design. The research subjects were members of PERSADIA who participated in diabetes exercise, with a total sample of 30 respondents. The results showed that almost all members of PERSADIA at Mayapada Hospital Bogor experienced a reduction in random blood sugar levels (93.3%) after performing diabetes exercise according to the standard operating procedure (40-60 minutes), while 2 members (6.7%) who did not follow the SOP and exercised for less than 40 minutes experienced an increase in blood sugar levels. Statistical analysis using the chi-square test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant relationship between the duration of the fifth series of diabetes exercise and blood sugar levels in PERSADIA members at Mayapada Hospital Bogor. Conclusion: Diabetes exercise can play a role in regulating blood glucose levels if conducted according to the principles of diabetes exercise, which include meeting the standards of frequency, intensity, duration, and type of exercise.

Abstract

Children who experience the death of a significant attachment figure, such as a parent or grandparent, are particularly vulnerable to Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) and early-onset depression. Unlike adults, children may manifest grief through somatic symptoms, irritability, or behavioral disturbances rather than overt sadness. The grief process in childhood, if not properly addressed, can disrupt emotional regulation, cognitive development, and psychosocial functioning. This case report discusses a 10-year-old boy who developed depressive symptoms following the loss of his grandfather, with whom he had a strong emotional bond. His symptoms included persistent sadness, social withdrawal, emotional dysregulation, and somatic complaints. These were compounded by environmental stressors such as parental divorce, an emotionally invalidating caregiving environment, and exposure to an aggressive alcoholic family member. Assessment involved clinical interviews, psychiatric evaluations, and a comprehensive review of literature addressing grief and child mental health. The patient met the diagnostic criteria for PGD and showed comorbid early-onset depression, highlighting the interconnected nature of grief and affective disorders in children. Neurobiological factors, particularly dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, were considered in the etiology. The case underscores the importance of early recognition, family-centered psychosocial interventions, and integrative therapeutic approaches including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), expressive arts, and complementary methods such as aromatherapy. This report emphasizes the urgent need for culturally sensitive, trauma-informed strategies to help bereaved children navigate loss and prevent chronic psychiatric outcomes. Early intervention plays a critical role in promoting resilience and long-term mental well-being in grieving children.

Abstract

Depression is a prevalent mental health disorder that significantly impacts both individual well-being and broader societal functioning. Socioeconomic disadvantage manifested through low income, limited educational attainment, and reduced access to mental health care has consistently emerged as a key risk factor for the development and persistence of depressive symptoms. In Indonesia, the mental health burden among low income populations remains under recognized and under treated. This case report details the clinical presentation of a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with major depressive disorder, originating from a low socioeconomic background. The patient experienced chronic psychological distress linked to financial instability, family rejection, and social stigma related to her informal digital employment. Data were collected through comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, including structured interviews, mental status examination, and physical assessment, in accordance with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. The patient's symptoms marked by insomnia, anhedonia, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and psychosomatic complaints highlight the complex interplay between environmental hardship and mental health. Her case exemplifies how economic precarity and insufficient social support contribute to both emotional and physical deterioration. This report not only contributes to a deeper understanding of depression among socioeconomically marginalized individuals in Indonesia but also emphasizes the importance of culturally contextualized mental health strategies. It advocates for community based, low barrier interventions that incorporate psychosocial and economic dimensions. Ultimately, addressing mental health within low SES populations requires holistic approaches that extend beyond clinical treatment and include policy reforms focused on employment protection, social welfare, and anti-stigma efforts.

Abstract

Depression is increasingly acknowledged as a key contributor to gastrointestinal dysfunction, primarily through neuroendocrine mechanisms such as activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Elevated cortisol in depressive states may trigger increased gastric acid secretion, altered gut motility, and intestinal barrier disruption, which contribute to inflammation and recurrent gastritis. While chronic gastritis is often treated pharmacologically, the psychological dimension is frequently overlooked. This case report investigates the role of moderate depression as a triggering factor for chronic gastritis through HPA axis dysregulation. A 33-year-old woman diagnosed with both conditions was followed for six months. Data were obtained via DSM-5-based psychiatric assessments, medical records, and follow-up interviews. The patient was treated with sertraline (50 mg/day) and standard gastritis therapy. Notable improvements in depressive symptoms were observed, along with a marked reduction in gastritis recurrence. This outcome supports existing evidence that psychological stress can impact gastrointestinal health via neuroinflammatory responses, immune dysfunction, and microbiota alteration. The case highlights the importance of an integrated treatment model that addresses both psychological and physical aspects. Routine mental health screening in patients with persistent gastrointestinal symptoms may enhance treatment efficacy and reduce recurrence. A biopsychosomatic approach involving collaboration between psychiatry and gastroenterology is recommended for comprehensive and effective care.

Abstract

Rapid cycling bipolar disorder (RCBD) represents a severe and treatment-resistant subtype of bipolar disorder in which patients experience at least four mood episodes within a year, often accompanied by greater psychiatric comorbidity, functional impairment, and suicide risk compared to non-rapid cycling cases. Childhood trauma and early-life adversity have been identified as critical contributors to emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and treatment resistance, yet their role is frequently underrecognized in clinical practice. This case report describes a 30-year-old woman diagnosed with RCBD and a history of emotional and physical abuse in childhood, aiming to illustrate the complex interaction between trauma and affective instability while integrating neurobiological, psychological, and clinical perspectives. The patient underwent four weeks of inpatient evaluation that included structured interviews, collateral history from caregivers, psychometric assessments using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), as well as daily multidisciplinary observation. Over the past year, she experienced six distinct mood episodes with severe deficits in emotional clarity and impulse control, elevated DERS scores, and only partial response to pharmacological treatment with valproate and quetiapine. Clinical patterns and supporting literature suggest that trauma-induced dysregulation, involving amygdala hyperactivation and hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis disruption, played a central role. Improvement was achieved only after trauma-focused psychotherapy and psychosocial support were incorporated into her care. This case highlights the necessity of early trauma screening and integrative, trauma-informed management to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment engagement, and long-term outcomes in complex bipolar presentations.

Abstract

The prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls in the working area of Wani Public Health Center, Donggala District, remains relatively high, reaching 49.2% in 2024. Several contributing factors include poor breakfast habits, poor sleep quality, and abnormal menstrual duration. This study aims to examine the association between breakfast habits, sleep quality, and menstrual duration with the incidence of anemia among adolescent girls. This study highlights the combined role of lifestyle factors (breakfast and sleep quality) and biological factors (menstrual duration) in relation to anemia, which has been scarcely explored in this setting. This research employed a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The study population included all female students in the working area of Wani Public Health Center (n = 81). A total of 68 respondents were selected using the Slovin formula and purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The findings revealed significant associations between breakfast habits and anemia (p = 0.000), sleep quality and anemia (p = 0.000), and menstrual duration and anemia (p = 0.000) among adolescent girls. Breakfast habits, sleep quality, and menstrual duration are significantly associated with incidence anemia among adolescent girls. These findings provide a basis for preventive efforts through nutrition education, improvement of sleep quality, and monitoring of menstrual health among adolescents.
