Abstract

Background: Nutritional problems in infants can negatively affect growth and development, including the risk of stunting. Maternal knowledge plays an important role in shaping feeding practices, yet many mothers still lack an adequate understanding of proper complementary feeding. This study aimed to examine the relationship between maternal knowledge of complementary feeding and infant nutritional status in a village with the highest stunting prevalence in Pamekasan Regency.Methods: A correlational analytic study design was employed, involving 54 mothers with infants aged 6–23 months selected through total sampling. Maternal knowledge was assessed using a closed-ended multiple-choice questionnaire, while infant nutritional status was evaluated using weight-for-age (WFA) Z-scores calculated with WHO Anthro version 3.2.2. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test.Results: The results showed a weak, non-significant negative correlation (r = −0.212; ρ = 0.124). Conclusion: Although no significant association was found, maternal education on complementary feeding should be strengthened. Nutrition programs should also address broader determinants, such as food access, caregiving practices, and health service utilization, to improve infant nutritional outcomes in stunting areas.

Abstract

Background: The high maternal mortality rate (MMR) is primarily caused by preventable obstetric complications through routine prenatal care (ANC). The compliance rate among pregnant women in the Manyaran Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area in 2024 was only 82.31%, indicating that some pregnant women remain unaware of the importance of ANC. This study aims to determine the relationship between pregnant women’s knowledge and attitudes and their compliance with Antenatal Care at the Manyaran Community Health Center.Methods: This study is a quantitative analytical design using a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of pregnant women in their third trimester in the Manyaran Community Health Center working area from June to August 2025. Data collection techniques used questionnaires and maternal and child health records.Results: The Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant relationship between knowledge and ANC compliance, and a p-value of 0.004 (<0.05), indicating a significant relationship between attitude and compliance with ANC visits.Conclusion: This study found that a high level of knowledge and a positive attitude significantly increase pregnant women’s compliance with ANC services. Therefore, health workers are expected to continue to improve their educational efforts to strengthen mothers’ understanding of the importance of regular pregnancy checkups.

Abstract

Background: Heart failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by the inability of the heart to pump blood adequately to meet the body’s oxygen and nutrient requirements. Non-pharmacological nursing interventions, including positioning, can support respiratory function and improve oxygenation. This study aimed to describe nursing care for a heart failure patient with an ineffective breathing pattern by applying the semi-Fowler position.Methods: This study employed a descriptive case study design using a nursing care approach. The subject was one adult patient diagnosed with NYHA I–II heart failure who presented with dyspnea, hypoxia, and an ineffective breathing pattern. The case was conducted at Panti Waluyo Hospital in Surakarta on February 5, 2025. The intervention consisted of positioning the patient in a 45° semi-Fowler position for 15 minutes, combined with oxygen administration at 10 LPM via a non-rebreather mask. Oxygen saturation was assessed before and after the intervention.Results: After 15 minutes of the 45° semi-Fowler position combined with oxygen administration, oxygen saturation increased to 99%, representing a 9% increase. The patient also reported a reduction in shortness of breath, although the ineffective breathing pattern had not completely resolved.Conclusion: The use of a 45° semi-Fowler position for 15 minutes, combined with oxygen therapy, may be considered a non-pharmacological nursing intervention to support oxygenation and respiratory comfort in patients with heart failure.

Abstract

Background: Breast milk is the primary source of nutrition for newborns and plays a crucial role in reducing infant mortality rates worldwide. Deaths among children under five years of age can be prevented each year through optimal breastfeeding. Spousal support is believed to be one of the key factors determining the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This study aims to analyze the relationship between a husband’s support for his wife’s efforts to practice exclusive breastfeeding at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital in Semarang.Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional research design. The study subjects consisted of 55 primiparous mothers with 6-month-old infants at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital in Semarang who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sampling was conducted using total sampling. Data were collected using the G-Form questionnaire, which had been tested for validity and reliability. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results: The results showed a significant relationship between spousal support and exclusive breastfeeding, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). It is hoped that this study can provide useful information regarding the importance of the husband’s role in supporting the success of exclusive breastfeeding. It is also hoped that the public will become increasingly aware that breastfeeding is not only the mother’s responsibility but also requires active support from the husband and family.Conclusion: Education based on the results of this study can reinforce positive behaviors in breastfeeding practices.

Abstract

Background: The development of technology and the internet has increased the variety of media people can use for communication, including social media. Social media applications, particularly TikTok, are most frequently used because they offer features that strongly align with the habits and interests of today’s adolescents. Self-compassion also helps adolescents avoid becoming trapped in feelings of low self-worth or negative social comparison; instead, it enables them to view each failure as a learning opportunity to grow into more mature and resilient individuals.Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design. The study population comprised 282 female students in grades X and XI at SMK Bintang Nusantara Karanganyar. The sample in this study consisted of 74 students. This study applied Proportional Random Sampling as the sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank test. Results: The Spearman’s rank correlation test showed a very weak correlation (rho = 0.020) with no statistically significant relationship (p = 0.865) between TikTok use intensity and self-compassion among adolescents.Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that most students fall into the moderate category for TikTok usage. This indicates that TikTok is used fairly frequently in students’ daily lives, but usage is not yet at either a low or very high level.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disease requiring lifelong hemodialysis. Patients undergoing hemodialysis frequently experience psychological stress due to long-term treatment, dependence on dialysis machines, lifestyle changes, and physical and emotional limitations. Unmanaged stress may reduce quality of life and treatment adherence. Meditation support has been recognized as a complementary nursing intervention to reduce stress by promoting relaxation and emotional regulation. Methods: This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 36 patients with chronic kidney disease who were undergoing routine hemodialysis were selected through purposive sampling. Results: Stress levels were assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) before and after a five-session meditation support intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Before the intervention, 32 participants (88.9%) experienced moderate stress, 2 (5.6%) experienced mild stress, and 2 (5.6%) experienced severe stress. After the intervention, 32 participants (88.9%) experienced mild stress, while 4 participants (11.1%) remained in the moderate stress category. The median stress score decreased from 20 to 12. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a statistically significant reduction in stress levels (Z = -5.239; p = 0.001). Meditation support significantly reduced stress levels among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Conclusion: Meditation support may be considered an effective complementary nursing intervention to enhance psychological support and holistic nursing care for patients undergoing hemodialysis, thereby improving their overall well-being.

Abstract

Background: Respectful Maternity Care (RMC) is childbirth care that respects the dignity, rights, privacy, and choices of mothers giving birth. Midwives’ knowledge is important in supporting the implementation of RMC.Methods: This descriptive quantitative study was conducted as a sub-study within a broader research project at the B-31 Obstetrics Unit of Dr. Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang, from December 2025 to August 2026. Data were collected from December 31, 2025, to January 4, 2026. A total of 34 midwives were recruited using total sampling. Knowledge was measured using the 23-item knowledge section of the MKP-RMC and analyzed using univariate analysis.Results: All respondents (100%) demonstrated good knowledge, with scores ranging from 21 to 23, a mean of 22.82 ± 0.46, and a median of 23.00. Five RMC indicators achieved 100% correct responses, while Freedom from Harm and Ill Treatment and Timely and High-Quality Care reached 98.0% and 96.1%, respectively.Conclusion: Midwives demonstrated good knowledge of RMC, although several aspects require further strengthening. The findings are setting-specific and do not indicate actual implementation of RMC. Further research should examine clinical practice and women’s care experiences.

Abstract

Background: Accidents in Indonesia occur frequently, and one of the injuries resulting from accidents is musculoskeletal injuries, such as fractures. This means everyone must have knowledge and skills. This study aimed to determine the effect of fracture splinting training on the knowledge and skill levels of Student Council members at Kebakkramat Public Junior High School No. 2.Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 30 respondents selected through total sampling. Before the intervention, respondents completed an initial assessment (pretest) using a questionnaire and a skills assessment sheet (tool). Subsequently, respondents received a one-hour training session. Following the training, a post-intervention assessment (posttest) was conducted using the same instruments to determine changes in knowledge and skills before and after the training. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to determine differences in assessment results before and after the intervention.Results: The results show that the level of knowledge before training was in the adequate category (76.7%) and improved to the good category (100%) after training. The level of skills before training was in the unskilled category (96.7%) and improved to the skilled category (56.7%) after training. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value < 0.001 (α = 0.05), indicating a significant difference in knowledge and skill levels before and after the training.Conclusion: Training in splint application effectively improves Student Council members’ knowledge and skills in providing first aid for fractures.
