Abstract

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is a critical indicator for evaluating maternal health programs, and insufficient knowledge of pregnancy danger signs remains a significant factor in preventable maternal complications and mortality. This issue is particularly prevalent among third-trimester pregnant women. Health education has proven to be an effective strategy for enhancing maternal knowledge, promoting early detection of obstetric emergencies, and supporting timely decision-making. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of health education on improving knowledge of pregnancy danger signs among third-trimester pregnant women in Nunkurus Village. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pre-test–post-test design was conducted, involving 42 third-trimester pregnant women, with 40 selected through purposive sampling. Structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was employed to analyze the knowledge differences before and after the intervention. Results showed a statistically significant increase in knowledge after the health education intervention (p-value = 0.000; p < 0.05). In conclusion, health education significantly enhances knowledge of pregnancy danger signs among third-trimester pregnant women. Strengthening community-level educational interventions can help in early detection of pregnancy complications and contribute to reducing maternal morbidity and mortality.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor contributing to the development of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), which includes STEMI, NSTEMI, and unstable angina. The increasing prevalence of hypertension worldwide raises concern regarding its impact on cardiovascular outcomes. This study aimed to describe the profile of ACS patients with hypertension receiving angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) therapy in the Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) of RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. Using a descriptive cross-sectional method, data from 91 patients treated between July 2021 and October 2024 were analyzed. Variables included demographic characteristics, clinical classification of ACS, hypertension degree, comorbidities, types and doses of ACEI/ARB administered. The results showed that most patients were male (73%) and aged over 65 years (40%). Chi-square analysis revealed no significant relationship between hypertension degree, ACS classification, or most comorbidities with drug selection or dosage (p>0.05), except for a significant association between coronary heart disease comorbidity and ARB selection. These findings suggest that in hypertensive ACS patients, the choice between ACEI and ARB therapy is predominantly based on individual comorbidity profiles rather than blood pressure severity or ACS type. The study highlights the importance of personalized treatment approaches considering patient comorbidities to optimize cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines the experience of access to health services and resilience strategies in adolescents with unplanned pregnancies in Makassar, Indonesia. Access to quality reproductive health services is important for adolescents' well-being, but they often face systemic barriers that affect access to health services and outcomes. The study used an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach on seventeen adolescent girls aged 15–19 years who had an unplanned pregnancy between June–November 2023. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, recorded, verbatim transcribed, and analyzed by a six-stage science process. Two main themes were found: Navigating Closed Doors: Systematic Barriers to Care and Finding Light in Darkness: Resilience and Agency. Participants faced a variety of layered barriers, including a lack of information about health services and rights, geographical and economic constraints, age-based discrimination, parental notification obligations, fear of legal consequences especially related to abortion, family control over decisions, and limitations in adolescent-friendly services. Nonetheless, adolescents show resilience through seeking strategic help, resistance to pressure, spiritual and religious coping, peer support, gradual acceptance of maternal identity, educational sustainability, and positive meaningfulness of difficult experiences. These findings point to the need for a transformation of the health system that not only improves attitudes of health workers, but also addresses structural barriers such as confidentiality, age discrimination, and service availability, while strengthening agency and adolescent coping strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between public policy paradoxes, healthcare service quality, access to and continuity of postnatal care, and maternal mortality in Pekalongan Regency. A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed, involving 30 respondents for quantitative analysis using Spearman correlation tests and 5 key informants for in-depth interviews. The results indicate that policy paradoxes are strongly correlated with service quality and with access and continuity of care. Service quality also shows a robust correlation with access and continuity. All variables are significantly associated with maternal mortality, with access and continuity of care demonstrating the strongest correlation. Qualitative findings reveal implementation gaps in Ministry of Health Regulation No. 21 of 2021, where postnatal visits are often conducted only 2–3 times instead of the mandated four visits, with 10 out of 13 maternal deaths occurring during the postnatal period. The persistence of maternal mortality is attributed to inconsistent implementation of standard operating procedures, high workload, and socio-cultural factors. The study highlights the need to strengthen supervision, enhance human resource capacity, and promote cross-sectoral collaboration to optimize postnatal care services.

Abstract

This meta-analytic study aims to comprehensively examine the relationship between mental health, learning capacity among health education students, and competencies in nosocomial disease risk management through cross-contextual empirical synthesis. An analysis of 47 studies involving 12,847 participants from 15 countries demonstrates a strong, statistically significant association between students' mental health and competencies in nosocomial infection prevention, as reflected by a correlation coefficient of r=0.68 (p<0.001) and a 95% confidence interval of 0.61-0.74. Students with high mental health scores (M=78.4; SD=8.2) exhibited substantially superior understanding of infection prevention protocols, namely 43% higher than the control group (M=54.7; SD=12.1; t(846)=18.42; p<0.001; d=2.31). Structural equation modeling confirmed learning capacity as a significant partial mediator (β=0.52; p<0.001), with an indirect effect reaching 35.4% and a 95% CI range of 28.6-42.1%. Mindfulness-based psychoeducational interventions were shown to enhance nosocomial risk identification abilities by 38.7% (F(2,564)=42.18; p<0.001; η²=0.41) while reducing clinical anxiety by 31.2% (t(382)=9.84; p<0.001). These findings extend the frameworks proposed by Song (2024) and Schutte et al. (2025), which primarily emphasize cognitive aspects, by demonstrating that the integration of psychological dimensions yields a multidimensional predictive model explaining 64.3% of the variance in risk management competence (R²=0.643; F(5,841)=304.76; p<0.001), surpassing conventional models that account for only 38-45% of the variance.

Abstract

Women’s reproductive health is a particularly vulnerable aspect of well-being in disaster situations, making maternal preparedness essential for minimizing health risks. This study aims to analyze the relationship between mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward reproductive health preparedness in disaster situations in East Polongbangkeng District, Takalar Regency, 2026. A quantitative observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. A total of 117 mothers were recruited as respondents based on established inclusion criteria. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses using the chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge (82.1%), good attitudes (94.0%), and good preparedness (78.6%). Statistically significant associations were found between mothers’ knowledge and reproductive health preparedness (p = 0.003), and between mothers’ attitudes and reproductive health preparedness (p = 0.037). It is concluded that better maternal knowledge and attitudes are associated with better reproductive health preparedness in disaster situations. Health centers and healthcare workers are recommended to strengthen community-based reproductive health preparedness education and promotion in disaster-prone areas.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen responsible for burns, wound, respiratory tract, urinary tract, bloodstream, and medical device-associated infections. Its ability to form biofilms contributes to persistent infections and reduced susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. This cross-sectional laboratory-based study aimed to characterize biofilm formation among clinical P. aeruginosa isolates and examine its association with antimicrobial resistance. A total of 100 non-duplicate clinical isolates were collected from selected teaching hospitals and clinical microbiology laboratories in Baghdad. Bacterial identification was performed using conventional microbiological methods and automated systems when available. Biofilm production was assessed using the crystal violet microtiter plate assay and categorized as non, weak, moderate, or strong producers based on optical density values. Antimicrobial susceptibility was evaluated using the Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration methods. Polymerase chain reaction was used to detect biofilm-related genes, including algD, pelA, pslA, and lasR. The results showed that 40% of isolates were strong biofilm producers, 30% moderate, 20% weak, and 10% non-producers. Strong biofilm producers exhibited higher antimicrobial resistance than weak and moderate producers. The algD gene was the most frequently detected, followed by pslA, pelA, and lasR. A strong positive correlation was observed between biofilm density and antimicrobial resistance, highlighting the value of combined phenotypic and molecular approaches for infection control and treatment strategies.
