Abstract

Hypertension is a major global non-communicable disease and a leading cause of premature death. This study aimed to develop a multivariate prediction model for hypertension incidence in the Banggai Community Health Center working area, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. An analytical observational study with a case-control design was conducted involving 140 people, equally divided into case and control groups. Data were collected on age, family history of hypertension, obesity status, smoking status, coffee consumption habits, use of hormonal birth control, and place of residence. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed. The final regression model included sex, age, family history of hypertension, body mass index (BMI), and smoking status, which together could predict hypertension incidence by 59.3%. Family history of hypertension was the most dominant variable, with those having a history being 25.6 times more likely to develop hypertension than those without a history (p < 0.001). Age ≥ 36 years, obesity, and smoking were also significant risk factors. The prediction model is useful for assessing individual hypertension risk and guiding early diagnosis and treatment. Family-based health education and screening for non-communicable diseases based on the prediction variables are recommended to reduce hypertension prevalence. Future research should consider prospective designs, involve more samples, and include additional variables such as diet, physical activity, and stress level to enhance the model's predictive accuracy.

Abstract

Bullying is a social phenomenon that cannot be avoided today. The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) recorded that there were 253 cases of bullying from 2011 to 2016, 36 cases occurred, which if presented, 22.4% of the 161 cases occurred at school. School is no longer a comfortable place to gain knowledge and develop character, if it is not handled well there is a risk of mental disorders, depression and suicide.The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the HELP adolescent mental health module in preventing bullying in students at SMAN 3 Palu. This research design is Research and Development with a quantitative approach to a quasi experimental, employing a two-group pretest-posttest design with a control group, involving a total of 90 respondents (45 in the intervention group and 45 in the control group). The instrument used was a questionnaire to collect data. Data analysis used univariate analysis, independent T tests, dependent T tests, chi-square tests, and multivariate analysis. All data was analyzed using SPSS. The HELP adolescent mental health module consists of 3 interconnected circles, namely: the innermost circle is teenagers as the focus of intervention, the next circle is teachers and parents whose aim is to provide support and monitoring in preventing bullying. Prevention of adolescent bullying increased after the model intervention, namely increasing from the moderate bullying category to mild bullying by 29.4%. Research in implementing the HELP adolescent mental health module can prevent bullying in adolescents. In further research, it is necessary to innovate methods by adding the use of applications for access to monitoring and evaluation by teenagers and teachers using easily accessible TikTok media in explaining educational material so that it can increase the effectiveness of the module.

Abstract

Typhoid fever remains a significant public health burden in developing countries, including Indonesia, where poor hygiene and sanitation contribute to its endemicity. This study aimed to identify behavioral risk factors associated with typhoid fever in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Balongpanggang, Gresik Regency. A quantitative, analytic case control study was conducted involving 74 respondents, equally divided between the case group (patients diagnosed with typhoid fever) and the control group (individuals without the disease). Purposive sampling was applied to select participants, and data collection was carried out through structured interviews using a validated questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using chi square tests to evaluate associations between specific behaviors and disease occurrence. The study identified six significant behavioral risk factors: eating outside the home (OR = 5.022; 95% CI: 1.465–17.217), consuming raw food (OR = 15.231; 95% CI: 1.850–125.420), drinking untreated water (OR = 10.828; 95% CI: 3.182–36.848), poor knowledge about typhoid (OR = 90.417; 95% CI: 16.991–481.135), family history of typhoid (OR = 4.758; 95% CI: 1.720–13.164), and not washing hands after defecation (OR = 36.458; 95% CI: 7.491–177.444). These results emphasize the role of individual hygiene practices and household behaviors in typhoid transmission. In conclusion, this study provides strong evidence for prioritizing behavior focused public health interventions and educational programs as key strategies for typhoid fever prevention in endemic communities.

Abstract

Triage is a critical process in prioritizing patient care, particularly for P2 (yellow label) patients in the emergency department who are at risk of clinical deterioration. This study aimed to quantitatively and multivariately analyze the factors influencing anxiety levels among P2 triage patients at the Emergency Department of RSU Ciremai. This analytical quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design. A total of 96 P2 triage patients were selected using purposive sampling. The variables examined included response time, therapeutic communication, and family support. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests for bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between anxiety levels and response time (p = 0.002), therapeutic communication (p = 0.001), and family support (p = 0.004). Multivariate analysis showed that delayed response time (OR = 3.46; 95% CI: 1.52–7.89), ineffective therapeutic communication (OR = 4.20; 95% CI: 1.85–9.52), and low family support (OR = 3.10; 95% CI: 1.38–6.95) significantly increased the risk of severe anxiety. Among these factors, ineffective therapeutic communication emerged as the most dominant, with the highest odds ratio. Response time, therapeutic communication quality, and family support are key factors associated with anxiety in P2 triage patients. Emergency nursing interventions should focus on enhancing communication skills through targeted staff training, implementing rapid response protocols to reduce delays, and actively involving family members in the care process to help reduce patient anxiety and improve psychological outcomes.

Abstract

Adolescence is a period in the span of human life that is most critical. The developmental task of adolescents in the age range of 11-20 years is to achieve self-identity. Adolescents can be given stimulation with therapeutic group therapy (TGT) and family psychoeducation (FPE) to improve their self-identity. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of giving therapeutic group therapy (TGT) and family psychoeducation (FPE) on increasing adolescent self-identity. Quasi-experimental research with pre-posttest with control group design. The sample is 32 people with purposive sampling technique which is divided into two groups. The intervention group 1 was given TGT and FPE while the intervention group 2 was only given TGT. Data analysis used paired t-test and independent sample t-test. The results showed that there were significant differences between the 1st and 2nd intervention groups in terms of cognitive and language (p value = 0.004), emotional and psychosocial (p value = 0.041), talent and creativity (p value = 0.011). There was a significant difference in self-identity between the 1st and 2nd intervention groups (p value = 0.004). Therapeutic group therapy (TGT) and family psychoeducation (FPE) improve the ability of adolescent self-identity. Adolescent therapeutic group therapy can be carried out in the setting of health services in the community as a form of mental health nursing service and can also be applied in community service activities.
