Abstract

  Background: One of the leading causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia in 2022 was postpartum hemorrhage, accounting for 741 cases. In addition to causing death, postpartum hemorrhage can lead to complications that affect the health of both the mother and baby in subsequent pregnancies and deliveries. Postpartum hemorrhage is a national-level issue and can be caused by several risk factors such as age, parity, and anemia. Objective: To analyze the factors associated with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage. Research Method: This study employed a retrospective analytical method with a Case-Control Study approach, involving 71 postpartum mothers who experienced hemorrhage as cases and 71 postpartum mothers who did not experience hemorrhage as controls at RSUD Lamaddukkelleng Wajo from January 1 to December 31, 2023. Samples were selected using simple random sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The Chi-Square statistical test results showed p-values for age (0.002 < 0.05), parity (0.001 < 0.05), and anemia (0.002 < 0.05). These results indicate a significant relationship between age, parity, and anemia with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage. Conclusion: To reduce the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) due to postpartum hemorrhage, it is crucial for healthcare providers to improve the quality of care, especially for expectant mothers. By adopting a more comprehensive and preventive approach, we can identify and address risk factors early on, thereby reducing the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage and ensuring maternal safety. This effort will not only enhance overall maternal health but also strengthen the healthcare system's ability to effectively manage critical cases.

Abstract

Background: Primigravida labor refers to childbirth in first-time pregnant women, who tend to experience longer labor pain compared to multigravida mothers. This prolonged pain often leads to fatigue, heightened pain perception, and increased fear, which can further intensify labor pain. As a result, primigravida mothers may suffer from severe anxiety, leading to difficulties in eating, sleeping, and even an increased risk of preterm birth.Objective: This study aims to identify the factors influencing the anxiety levels of primigravida mothers during childbirth.Methods: This study employs a quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional study design. The population consists of 25 primigravida mothers who gave birth at Batara Siang Pangkep Regional Hospital, selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire designed to assess factors influencing maternal anxiety levels during childbirth.Results: Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between maternal age (p = 0.002 < 0.05), maternal knowledge (p = 0.022 < 0.05), and family support (p = 0.002 < 0.05) with the anxiety levels of primigravida mothers.Conclusion: The study concludes that maternal age, knowledge, and family support are significantly associated with the anxiety levels of primigravida mothers during childbirth at Batara Siang Pangkep Regional Hospital in 2022. Strengthening educational and emotional support for first-time mothers is essential to reducing anxiety and improving maternal well-being during labor.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a global health problem that affects about 1.13 billion people worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and premature death. The disease is often asymptomatic, so many individuals are unaware of their condition until serious complications occur. Therefore, a better understanding of the causes, impacts, and control strategies of hypertension is essential.Objective: The aim of this study is to understand the causes, impacts, and control strategies of hypertension in order to reduce its prevalence and improve individuals' quality of life.Methods: This literature review is conducted by collecting and analyzing relevant scientific studies and articles on hypertension. The sources used include medical journals, reports of health organizations, and clinical guidelines published between 2003 and 2024. The literature selection process was carried out using keywords such as "hypertension", "hypertension control", and "hypertension impact" in academic databases such as PubMed (57) and Scopus (279).Results: There were 16 articles that were included in this literature and showed that the factors that cause hypertension include unhealthy lifestyles, genetic factors, and other medical conditions. Significant health impacts of hypertension include an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Effective control strategies, such as dietary changes, increased physical activity, and the use of antihypertensive medications, have been shown to lower blood pressure.Conclusion: Hypertension is a health problem that requires serious attention. By understanding the causes and impacts of hypertension, as well as implementing effective control strategies, we can reduce the prevalence of hypertension and improve the quality of life of individuals. Collaborative efforts between health workers, governments, and communities are essential to achieve this goal.

Abstract

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common type of infection caused by the growth of microorganisms in the human urinary tract. Leukocytes are a component of the immune system that fight infection and inflammation. The methods commonly used for urine leukocyte examination are the dipstick and microscopic methods.Objective: This study aims to compare the results of urine leukocyte examination between the dipstick and microscopic methods in UTI patients.Methods: This research is descriptive comparative with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at Puskesmas Klasaman and the TLM Laboratory of STIKES Papua from June 28 to August 21, 2024. The study population includes all UTI patients at Puskesmas Klasaman, Sorong City, totaling 16 patients, with a sample of 16 urine samples from patients confirmed positive for UTI, selected using a total sampling technique. The data collected were entered into a master table and analyzed statistically.Results: The results of the urine leukocyte examination using the dipstick method showed that the majority of respondents had results of approximately 70 leukocytes/µl (+1), while the results from the microscopic method indicated that the majority had 5-9 cells/HPF (+2). This study found a significant difference between the results of urine leukocyte examination using the dipstick and microscopic methods (p-value < 0.05) using the nonparametric Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (WSRT).Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the results of urine leukocyte examination between the dipstick and microscopic methods, where the dipstick method is more practical but less accurate compared to the more detailed and accurate microscopic method. It is recommended to explore other urine examination methods and compare the results with a larger sample to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

Abstract

Background: Wrongone of the most common Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a growing public health concern, influenced by genetic and environmental factors such as obesity and sedentary lifestyles. The prevalence of DM at Kapasa Health Center has risen significantly, from 103 cases in 2021 to 351 cases in 2024. Understanding the relationship between BMI, genetic predisposition, and blood glucose levels is crucial for better management strategies.Objective: This study aims to analyze the correlation between BMI and genetic predisposition with blood glucose levels in DM patients at Kapasa Health Center, Makassar.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 40 DM patients selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured observation sheets and blood glucose measurements. BMI was classified based on WHO standards. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between BMI and blood glucose levels, while Chi-Square tests were applied to determine the association between genetic predisposition and blood glucose levels.Results: The results revealed a significant positive correlation between BMI and blood glucose levels (r = 0.67, p = 0.002), indicating that individuals with higher BMI had elevated blood glucose levels. However, the Chi-Square test (p = 0.742) showed no significant association between genetic predisposition and blood glucose levels. This suggests that while genetic factors contribute to diabetes susceptibility, BMI plays a more substantial role in glycemic control.Conclusion: BMI is significantly associated with blood glucose levels, emphasizing the importance of weight management in diabetes prevention and control. Genetic predisposition alone does not directly influence blood glucose regulation. Public health interventions should focus on obesity prevention and lifestyle modifications to reduce diabetes prevalence.

Abstract

Background: Nurses play a pivotal role in ensuring healthcare quality and patient safety. However, many healthcare systems worldwide are struggling with high levels of nurse turnover. Turnover intention, defined as the cognitive process leading to the decision to leave a job, has been identified as the most immediate antecedent of actual turnover behavior, which can negatively impact healthcare delivery and organizational stability. Objective: To explore and synthesize the current empirical literature on the determinants of turnover intention among nurses, with the goal of identifying key contributing factors and informing effective nurse retention strategies.. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using five major academic databases—PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. The search targeted peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and 2024, in English or Indonesian, which investigated turnover intention among nurses. After screening 53 retrieved articles, 27 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed thematically. Results: Six major determinants of turnover intention among nurses were identified: (1) job satisfaction, (2) occupational stress and burnout, (3) workload and working conditions, (4) organizational and peer support, (5) leadership style, and (6) demographic or individual characteristics. These factors often interact dynamically, forming a complex psychosocial and organizational environment that shapes nurses’ intention to stay or leave. Conclusion: Turnover intention is a multifaceted phenomenon, and addressing it requires integrated strategies targeting structural, managerial, and personal dimensions. Healthcare organizations must focus on improving working conditions, promoting effective leadership, supporting emotional well-being, and recognizing demographic differences to mitigate nurse attrition.
