Abstract

Background: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing, which can result in an ineffective breathing pattern. One of the therapies used to manage this condition is oxygen therapy. Oxygen therapy, particularly using a nasal cannula, is a non-pharmacological nursing intervention aimed at improving ventilation and patients’ oxygenation status.Objective: To determine the effectiveness of oxygen therapy (nasal cannula) in improving ineffective breathing patterns in asthma patients in the pulmonary care unit of RSUD Kota Baubau.Methods: This study employed a descriptive case study design involving one patient. The instruments used included the standard operating procedure (SOP) for oxygen administration, a pulse oximeter, an observation sheet, and a nursing care format. The intervention was carried out for 3 × 24 hours, with oxygen therapy administered twice daily for 15 minutes at a flow rate of 2–4 liters per minute according to the procedure.Results: After three days of therapy from May 29 to May 31, 2025, the patient’s respiratory rate decreased from 28 breaths per minute to 23 breaths per minute. The patient’s breathing pattern improved from irregular to regular. The use of accessory respiratory muscles decreased, wheezing was still present but with reduced frequency, and complaints of shortness of breath were reduced.Conclusion: Oxygen therapy using a nasal cannula is effective in improving ineffective breathing patterns in asthma patients, as indicated by a decreased respiratory rate and improved breathing patterns. This intervention can be used as one of the nursing approaches in the management of asthma in healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Background: Adequate antenatal care (ANC) is essential for reducing maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Despite high initial ANC contact coverage in Indonesia, fulfillment of the six-visit standard (ANC K6) remains limited and socially patterned.Objective: This study aimed to describe sociodemographic and socioeconomic determinants associated with adequate antenatal care (ANC K6) in Indonesia using national survey data.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was conducted using aggregated data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey, including 70,916 women aged 10–54 years who had given birth. The outcome variable was fulfillment of ANC K6. Independent variables included maternal age, education, marital status, parity, place of residence, and household wealth quintile. The analysis examined distributional patterns of ANC K6 across determinant categories without inferential modeling.Results: Nationally, only 17.6% of mothers fulfilled the ANC K6 standard. Among mothers who achieved ANC K6, the majority were aged 20–34 years (76.5%), had secondary or higher education (79.3%), resided in urban areas (57.6%), and belonged to higher wealth quintiles (49.7%). These findings indicate a pronounced social gradient in continuity of antenatal care utilization.Conclusion: Adequate antenatal care in Indonesia remains low and unequally distributed. Structural factors including education, residence, and household wealth - appear to shape continuity of care. Policies should prioritize reducing barriers to repeated visits among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.

Abstract

Background: Minor burns are among the most common injuries encountered in daily life, particularly among adolescents who actively participate in school, laboratory, and extracurricular activities. Inadequate first-aid knowledge often leads to inappropriate practices, such as applying toothpaste, butter, or cooking oil to burn wounds, which may worsen tissue damage and delay proper treatment. Educational interventions using visually engaging media, such as comics, have emerged as promising strategies to improve health knowledge among adolescents.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of educational comic media in improving knowledge regarding first aid for minor burns among high school students.Methods: A quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 40 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 14 Ambon. Participants were selected using quota sampling. Students completed a structured knowledge questionnaire before the intervention. Educational comics containing evidence-based information on first aid for minor burns were subsequently provided, followed by guided reading and interactive discussion. Knowledge was reassessed immediately after the intervention using the same questionnaire. Differences between pretest and posttest scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results: Before the intervention, most participants demonstrated poor knowledge (70.0%), while only 2.5% had good knowledge. Following comic-based education, the proportion of students with good knowledge increased to 42.5%, whereas poor knowledge decreased to 2.5%. Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in knowledge after the intervention (Wilcoxon test, p < 0.001).Conclusion: Educational comics were effective in improving students' knowledge regarding first aid for minor burns. Comic-based health education represents an attractive and effective learning strategy for adolescents and has the potential to strengthen school-based health promotion programs.

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) infants are at increased risk of physiological instability due to immature organ function, making them vulnerable to hypothermia, respiratory distress, and reduced oxygen saturation. These conditions contribute substantially to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), a skin-to-skin care intervention, has been recommended as an effective strategy to improve physiological stability in LBW infants. However, evidence regarding its effectiveness in clinical settings in eastern Indonesia remains limited.Objective: To determine the effect of Kangaroo Mother Care on the stability of vital signs among low birth weight infants in the Perinatology Unit of RSUD Dok II Jayapura.Methods: A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted from July to September 2024. Twenty-five low birth weight infants were recruited using accidental sampling. Kangaroo Mother Care was implemented for approximately four hours daily over three consecutive days. Peripheral oxygen saturation was measured before and after the intervention using a pulse oximeter. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and paired-samples t-test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.Results: The mean peripheral oxygen saturation increased from 91.3% (SD = 1.86) before the intervention to 93.1% (SD = 2.57) after Kangaroo Mother Care. Paired-samples t-test demonstrated a statistically significant improvement following the intervention (mean difference = 1.82; p = 0.008), indicating enhanced physiological stability among low birth weight infants.Conclusion: Kangaroo Mother Care significantly improved the physiological stability of low birth weight infants, as demonstrated by increased peripheral oxygen saturation. Incorporating Kangaroo Mother Care into routine neonatal nursing practice may provide a simple, low-cost, and evidence-based intervention to optimise neonatal outcomes and improve the quality of care for low birth weight infants.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease requiring continuous self-care to maintain glycaemic control and prevent complications. Family support plays an important role in facilitating patients’ adherence to dietary management, physical activity, medication, and other self-care behaviours. However, the relationship between family support and self-care among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus requires further assessment in primary healthcare settings.Objective: To determine the relationship between family support and self-care among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Blue Community Health Center (UPT) in Bone Regency.Methods: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 125 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Hensarling Diabetes Family Support Scale and the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ). Data were analysed using the chi-square test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.Results: Most respondents had good family support (94 respondents; 75.2%) and high levels of self-care (82 respondents; 65.6%). The chi-square analysis demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between family support and self-care among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (p < 0.001).Conclusion: Family support was significantly associated with self-care among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Strengthening family involvement and support may therefore contribute to improved self-care practices and ongoing diabetes management.
