Abstract

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in adolescents is increasing in the world, predicted to rank 4th in the risk of obesity in Indonesia in 2030, high risk of adverse effects on the quality of life of adolescents in the form of metabolic disorders, physical discomfort, absenteeism from school, low achievement, and low self-esteem. The purpose of the study was to analyze the correlation between overweight and the impact of physical social health on adolescents. This study used a cross-sectional design. The study population was 242 adolescents with a sample size of 151 overweight adolescents from seven schools in Palu City. The research instruments were weight scales, height measuring microtoice, body mass index standards according to the Ministry of Health in 2020, tensimeter, blood sugar, cholesterol, uric acid, interview format related to physical complaints and self-esteem felt in the last three months, and academic and non-academic grades asked to the homeroom teacher. Data analysis was univariate and bivariate Pearson test and Spearman test. The results of the study were obese 21 (13.91%), overweight 130 (86.09%). Correlation test between overweight and cholesterol score (p=0.000; r=0.373), academic score (p=0.026; r= -0.18), self-esteem (p=0.004), systole blood pressure (p=0.53), diastole blood pressure (p=0.278), fasting blood sugar value (p=0.22), uric acid value (p=0.107), absenteeism (p=0.099), complaints (p=0.167). The study concluded that there was a positive correlation between overweight and high cholesterol levels, as well as adolescent self-esteem, while a negative correlation was found with academic grades. The research recommendation is to further analyze the behavior and sociocultural of overweight adolescents before nursing/health interventions.

Abstract

Stunting prevention in high-risk families, particularly regarding environmental factors, remains a significant issue in Bengkulu Province as an area characterized by limited access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, both key indicators of stunting risk. This study aimed to identify factors associated with the risk of stunting among families in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. A cross-sectional approach was employed using secondary data from the 2021 Population Survey (PK21) of Bengkulu Province, which included 436,490 families. Univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted. The results showed that 83.1% of families in Bengkulu Province were not at risk of stunting. Factors significantly associated with stunting risk included the occupation and educational level of the head of household, health insurance status, household income adequacy, housing ownership status, and exposure to information through media and health officers (p < 0.001). Families with heads of household working as farmers and those with heads who did not complete elementary school had the highest prevalence of stunting risk. Families without health insurance, inadequate income, rent-free housing, and no exposure to the Bangga Kencana program through media or officers also exhibited a higher prevalence of stunting risk. Logistic regression analysis revealed that families not receiving Bangga Kencana information from officers were 1.08 times more likely to be at risk of stunting (95% CI = 1.05–11). In conclusion, demographic factors and information exposure were identified as critical risk factors for stunting among families in Bengkulu Province. These findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions and information dissemination in reducing stunting risk.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between internet addiction and emotional quotient (EQ) among adolescents at SMPN 1 Meulaboh. A cross-sectional quantitative approach was employed, utilizing structured interviews with carefully designed questionnaires. The target population consisted of 350 students, and a simple random sampling technique was used to ensure representativeness and reduce bias. Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation to determine the relationship between the two research variables. The results revealed a significant relationship between internet addiction and EQ (p < 0.05), with a weak positive correlation (r = 0.280). This indicates that changes in internet addiction levels may influence EQ among the adolescents. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the factors triggering high internet usage intensity in adolescents and the need for a holistic approach in managing their technology-related behavior. Awareness of the potential negative impacts on EQ can inform preventive and intervention efforts. Future research should expand the studied variables, including psychological, environmental, and social factors affecting adolescents' EQ, and consider qualitative methods to clarify the results. Developing intervention programs to help adolescents manage their online time wisely and enhance their EQ is also recommended.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between blood pressure and the frequency of consuming sodium-rich foods among employees of a western-style fast food restaurant "X" in Hayam Wuruk, Central Jakarta. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 30 respondents aged 20-50 years, selected using purposive sampling. Data on respondent characteristics, blood pressure, and frequency of consuming sodium-rich foods were collected using questionnaires and a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The results showed that prehypertension and stage 1 hypertension were more prevalent in respondents who had worked for ≤ 3 years (76.7%), were aged 19-29 years (76.7%), were male (56.7%), had a high school education (96.7%), and rarely consumed sodium-rich foods (43.3%). However, no significant associations were found between blood pressure and duration of working time, sex, age, or frequency of consuming sodium-rich foods (p>0.05). The most frequently consumed sodium-rich foods were chicken eggs, butter, margarine, beef meatballs, chicken noodles, fried tempeh, and bakwan. The prevalence of hypertension in this study (6.7%) was lower than that reported in the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data for Central Jakarta (39.05%). The study's limitations include the focus on a single fast food restaurant and the small sample size. The findings suggest that restaurant employees should avoid high-sodium foods and monitor their blood pressure regularly.

Abstract

This systematic review aimed to identify the effectiveness of therapeutic play in reducing the impact of hospitalization on pre and school-aged children. Five databases were searched (ClinicalKey Nursing, Scopus, Sage Journals, ScienceDirect, and PubMed) for articles published between 2019 and 2023. Six RCT studies from Turkey met the inclusion criteria and were assessed for quality using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. The therapeutic play interventions included goldfish therapy, educational animated films, finger puppet play, music and kaleidoscope therapy, cartoon-assisted endoscopy preparation packages, and buzzy, jet lidocaine, bubble-blowing, and aromatherapy. The duration of the interventions varied. The outcomes measured were anxiety, fear, pain, emotional and psychological well-being, and postoperative nausea and vomiting. The results showed that therapeutic play significantly reduced anxiety (50% of studies), fear (100%), and pain (50%) in children undergoing hospitalization or medical procedures. Goldfish therapy also improved emotional and psychological well-being. No significant differences were found in postoperative vomiting and nausea. The most effective interventions were goldfish therapy, educational animated films, and finger puppet play. In conclusion, therapeutic play is a beneficial nursing intervention for reducing the negative impacts of hospitalization on children aged 3-12 years. Recommendations include implementing therapeutic play in pediatric hospital settings and conducting further research to expand the types of therapeutic play available.

Abstract

Hyperglycemia is a condition that occurs when Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is uncontrolled, which causes an increase in free radicals and disruption of cell function and endogenous antioxidants. Coffee, especially robusta coffee, is known to have benefits as an exogenous antioxidant that can increase the activity of endogenous. This study aims to examine the effect of giving robusta coffee on the expression of Nuclear Factor-erythroid-2 Related Factor 2 (Nrf-2) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) in DM model mice. The design of this study was experimental with the Post Test Control Group Design method. A total of 24 male Rattus norvegicus mice aged 3 months with a body weight of 230-250 grams were randomly divided into four groups. After undergoing acclimatization for one week, the mice were given robusta coffee once a day for 14 days. On the 15th day, Nrf-2 and SOD expression were examined. The results showed that the average expression of Nrf-2 in each group was: 23.15 ± 1.96 (normal group/KN), 62.14 ± 1.30 (positive DM group/KP), 50.66 ± 2.18 (DM group with low dose coffee/KK1), and 71.13 ± 1.51 (DM group with high dose coffee/KK2). Meanwhile, SOD expression was: 4.95 ± 0.62 (KN), 8.14 ± 0.54 (KP), 6.10 ± 0.79 (KK1), and 9.26 ± 0.31 (KK2). The results of the ANOVA and Post Hoc LSD tests showed a p value <0.05, which indicated a significant difference between groups. In conclusion, administration of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) was able to increase the activity of the Nrf-2 and SOD enzymes in mice suffering from diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

A condition called hypertension affects the blood vessels when the patient's systolic and diastolic blood pressures are more than 140 and 90 mmHg, respectively. Pain scale and blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients can be affected by religious music therapy and progressive muscle relaxation techniques that stretch muscles and increase calmness. The research design used was a quantitative pre-post quasi-experiment with a control group. This study involved 32 hypertensive elderly residents of Bengkulu Tresna Werdha Social Home as the population. Then the respondents were divided into two groups: 16 people in the intervention group and 16 people in the control group. For six consecutive days, the intervention group received a combination of progressive muscle relaxation and religious music therapy for 15 minutes every day. The findings showed that the cytolic, diastolic, and pain scales in elderly people with hypertension decreased after being given combined therapy with progressive muscle relaxation and religious music therapy (p value = 0.000). It is hoped that the results of this study can provide knowledge about complementary therapies that can be given to the elderly suffering from hypertension.

Abstract

This comparative study aimed to assess the utility of jugular venous pressure (JVP) measurements in evaluating changes in central venous pressure (CVP) among critically ill patients in resource-limited border area hospitals. The study included 100 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with a central venous catheter inserted in the chest. JVP and CVP measurements were performed, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results revealed significant differences between direct CVP and JVP measurements. However, when the measurements were categorized into low, normal, and high ranges, a 98% concordance was observed between CVP and JVP values, with no significant differences noted. The findings suggest that JVP measurement is a reliable non-invasive method for assessing right atrial pressure and fluid volume status in ICU patients, particularly in resource-limited settings. Nurses working in border area hospitals with limited resources can benefit from categorizing JVP measurements as low, normal, or high to monitor patients' hemodynamic status effectively. The study highlights the importance of JVP measurement as a valuable tool for nurses in ICUs, general wards, and emergency departments to detect changes in CVP and monitor fluid volume status in critically ill patients.

Abstract

The danger of postoperative complications can prolong the healing process so prevention is needed by improving patient behavior. Health education based on the Health Belief Model can be applied to improve behavior based on patient perceptions. This research aims to prove the effect of health education based on the Health Belief Model theory on behavior to prevent postoperative complications with spinal anesthesia. This research used a True Experiment design with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design approach involving 60 respondents taken using a simple random sampling technique. The results of the analysis prove that there is an influence of health education based on the Health Belief Model theory on behavior to prevent postoperative complications with spinal anesthesia. The health education provided increases respondents' knowledge about preventing post-operative complications, and with the knowledge they have, it encourages respondents to improve their attitudes and behavior in preventing postoperative complications with spinal anesthesia.

Abstract

Biscuits, a popular snack, offer a platform for nutritional innovation by incorporating local food ingredients. This study explores the substitution of traditional ingredients with pumpkin puree and katuk leaves to develop enriched biscuits suitable for pregnant women and nursing mothers. Employing a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), the study varied the levels of pumpkin puree and katuk leaf substitutions across four formulations: F0 (0% pumpkin, 0% katuk leaves), F1 (40% pumpkin, 3% katuk leaves), F2 (45% pumpkin, 4% katuk leaves), and F3 (50% pumpkin, 5% katuk leaves). Conducted in Makassar City in 2023, the study utilized SPSS for data analysis. Results indicated that biscuits with pumpkin and katuk leaf substitutions showed enhanced antioxidant properties, evidenced by significant increases in phenolic compounds (p=0.003) and flavonoids (p<0.001). Additionally, these biscuits met the moisture and ash content standards set by SNI 2973:2011 and SNI 01-2973-1992, respectively. Organoleptically, the F1 biscuits were most preferred, scoring 783. In conclusion, substituting traditional biscuit ingredients with pumpkin puree and katuk leaves significantly improves the antioxidant activity, compliance with moisture and ash standards, and organoleptic quality of the biscuits.
