Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that significantly affects the growth and development of children, particularly those aged 12–59 months. Posyandu cadres play a vital role in assisting parents in providing appropriate feeding practices for their children. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of training using booklet media in improving the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cadres in stunting-related child feeding assistance. This research employed a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design involving 10 Posyandu cadres in the working area of Health Center. The results of paired t-test and Wilcoxon tests showed significant improvements in knowledge (p = 0.000), attitude (p = 0.000), and practice (p = 0.000) after the intervention. The booklet proved to be an effective educational tool to enhance the capacity of Posyandu cadres. These findings recommend the use of booklets as a sustainable educational strategy in community-based stunting reduction programs.

Abstract

The incidence of chronic diseases is not comparable to the ratio of chronic disease service utilization in Jambi City. Data from BPJS Kesehatan Jambi states that Talang Banjar Health Center is a health center with the lowest achievement of the Controlled Chronic Disease Management Program Participant Ratio (RPPT) of 0.55% from ≥ 5%. It is suspected that the behavior of chronic disease sufferers influences this figure. The study aims to analyze the behavior of health service utilization by chronic disease patients in the work area of Talang Banjar Health Center, Jambi City. Quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design. The research sample was selected through the Total Sampling Technique, namely all prolanis participants who have been registered at Talang Banjar Health Center, Jambi City, totaling 75 respondents. Data analysis using the chi square test. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between Education (p = 0.049), knowledge (p = 0.000), accessibility (p = 0.043), and perception of disease (0.020) with prolanis utilization. There is no relationship between age (p = 0.254), gender (p = 0.383), occupation (p = 1.000), and health worker attitudes (p = 0.320) with the utilization of prolanis health services. It is concluded that education, knowledge, accessibility and perception of disease factors influence patient behavior in utilizing Prolanis services.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the cardiovascular disorders characterized by increased blood pressure. One non-pharmacological effort to reduce increased blood pressure can be done through physical exercise. This study was to identify the effect of Isometric Exercise intervention on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The Pre-Experimental Study became the design of this study involving 32 respondents from a population of 104 hypertensive patients through Purposive Sampling. Isometric Exercise intervention was given 4 times in 1 week with a duration of 15 minutes. Blood pressure variables were measured with a tensimeter and the data were analyzed by the Independent T-Test with α 0.05. The results showed a decrease in systolic of 5.875 mmHg (from a mean of 143.125 to 137.125) and diastolic of 3.25 mmHg (from a mean of 91.625 to 88.375). p value = 0.014 (<0.05), meaning that there was a difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure pre and post test. Isometric exercise can increase stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system so that blood circulation becomes smooth through the mechanism of venous vasodilation causing a decrease in cardiac output and total peripheral resistance, followed by a decrease in blood pressure. Isometric Exercise intervention can be carried out as an effort to manage blood pressure in hypertension patients through a physical exercise approach.

Abstract

The implementation of Hospital Management Information Systems (SIMRS) has become a strategic necessity to improve healthcare service quality and operational efficiency. This study focuses on evaluating the performance of SIMRS in the outpatient registration unit of Nur Hidayah Hospital Bantul, where system disruptions, inconsistent SOP application, and limited user training were identified as core issues. The research aims to assess how well the SIMRS aligns with the Human, Organization, and Technology components through the HOT-Fit model framework. A descriptive qualitative method was employed using purposive sampling to select five informants directly involved in SIMRS operations, including registration officers, IT staff, and the head of the medical records unit. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation, and analyzed thematically based on the HOT-Fit model. The findings show that SIMRS contributes positively to workflow efficiency and data management; however, human factors such as inconsistent training and input errors remain prevalent. Organizational support is visible but lacks structured evaluation routines, and although the technological infrastructure is generally stable, peripheral device and network issues persist. The study synthesizes that effective SIMRS performance requires not only technological readiness but also consistent organizational commitment and continuous human resource development. It concludes that strengthening user competence, formalizing SOP usage, and improving infrastructure are essential to optimize the system's functionality and alignment with the HOT-Fit model.

Abstract

A landslide disaster is a life-threatening event that can result in loss of life, environmental damage, and property loss, so it is necessary to have self-evacuation capabilities. Self-evacuation capabilities can be improved with the DEMASI method (Video Animation and Simulation). The aim of this research is to determine the effect of DEMASI (Video Animation and Simulation) on the ability to self-evacuate landslides in class X students at SMA Negeri 1 Dongko. Pre-experimental design research design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach without control. The purposive sampling technique obtained 34 respondents from 170 populations. The research instrument used an observation sheet on self-evacuation capabilities for landslide disasters. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test with α 0.05. The results of the research before being given DEMASI intervention (Video Animation and Simulation) were that all (100%) respondents had poor abilities, and after the intervention almost all (85.3%) respondents had good abilities. Results: The statistical analysis showed that the p-value was 0.000 < α 0.05, so there was an influence of DEMASI (Video Animation and Simulation) on students' self-evacuation ability for landslide disasters. The DEMASI method (Video Animation and Simulation) combines two methods that are more interesting, effective, and interactive because audiovisuals recorded by optic and auditory nerves are sent to the occipital lobe and temporal lobe to be described and processed, which involves many brain regions and the frontal lobe so that they can influence the respondent's abilities. The DEMASI method can be used as an educational medium for students and other school residents in an effort to improve their ability to self-evacuate in landslide disasters.

Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), and lowerurinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are among the most prevalent urological conditions affecting agingmen. Over 30% of men above the age of 60 experience moderate to severe LUTS, often requiringmedical intervention. While the pathophysiology of BPH/BPE remains partially unclear, theandrogen receptor pathway—particularly the role of dihydrotestosterone—is well established. Agentssuch as finasteride and dutasteride target this pathway by inhibiting 5α-reductase. More recently,metabolic dysfunction and chronic prostatic inflammation have also been recognized as contributingfactors to the progression of BPE and LUTS. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms is criticalfor developing more effective therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness ofdual therapy with tamsulosin and solifenacin in improving urinary symptoms and bladder function inpatients diagnosed with BPH. A total of 120 patients with bothersome urinary symptoms wereenrolled. Data was collected using a structured medical questionnaire, and the follow-up periodranged from 3 to 6 months. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in symptomseverity, with the mean score decreasing from 10.09 to 3.44 post-treatment. Additionally, the pre-void urine volume increased from 181.62 ml to 260.81 ml, indicating enhanced bladder capacity.However, no statistically significant change was observed in post-void residual urine volume. Theseresults support the incorporation of tamsulosin-solifenacin dual therapy into clinical protocols formanaging LUTS in BPH patients, particularly for those with storage-related symptoms.

Abstract

The leading causes of maternal mortality are thought to include hemorrhage, sepsis, obstructed labor, and hypertensive disease of pregnancy. For many years, demographic and health surveys have been used to study maternal and perinatal health in developing countries. However, few nationwide population surveys have used formally validated questionnaires. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of maternal self-reports of obstetrical complications. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 women at Two Hospitals and one public health center. A questionnaire recorded mothers’ perceptions of obstetrical complications while hospital medical records. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and percent agreement were obtained for obstetrical conditions. Result: In general, women’s reports of obstetrical complications did not match medical diagnoses. The highest agreement was obtained for reporting eclampsia, with less agreement for postpartum haemorrhage. Conclusion: The validity of the survey questionnaires varies between studies due to differences in the questionnaires. Health surveys based on maternal self-report must be interpreted with consideration of this limitation.

Abstract

Pregnancy is one of the most important stages in a woman's life, accompanied by various physiological, psychological, and social changes. This period not only affects the mother's health but also plays a crucial role in the growth and development of the fetus. To adapt to these changes, a holistic approach is needed to support the physical and mental health of pregnant women. One form of non-pharmacological intervention that is increasingly gaining popularity is prenatal yoga. Prenatal yoga is an adaptation of classical yoga tailored to the physical condition of pregnant women, with movements performed in a gentler and slower manner. The core principle of prenatal yoga is the application of breathing techniques performed with full awareness. Prenatal yoga exercises are known to improve the health of pregnant women. This study aims to examine the effects of prenatal yoga on reducing stress levels in pregnant women through an analysis of relevant literature. The results indicate that prenatal yoga is effective in reducing stress levels, improving posture, and providing relaxation benefits for the mental health of pregnant womenPrenatal Yoga

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a long-term or chronic disease that needs to be managed properly. One of the biggest challenges for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus is their ability to control their weight. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the ability to control their weight in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the factors that influence it. Respondents in this study were 96 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. The independent variables were factors related to the ability to control their weight, while the dependent variable was the ability to control their weight. Data collection used a questionnaire, and statistical testing was carried out using Spearman's rho with a significance level of 0.05. The results of the study showed that most respondents (71.9%) used oral diabetes medication, almost all respondents (37.5%) used insulin diabetes medication, most respondents (59.4%) had suffered from diabetes for 1-2 years, most respondents (52%) were committed to maintaining their weight in the sufficient category, and most respondents (62.5%) had the ability to control their weight in the fairly good category. The Spearman rho statistical test results showed a relationship between the duration of diabetes (p-value: 0.027) and commitment (p-value: 0.039) with the ability to control weight, while there was no relationship with other factors. The relatively good ability to control weight in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus may be due to the patient's awareness and motivation that creates a commitment to control their health condition to prevent worsening conditions. It is hoped that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus can maintain the ability to control their weight so that glucose levels remain under control.

Abstract

This study investigated the phytochemical screening and antibacterial activity against various microorganisms including E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, and Candida albicans. Active compounds were isolated and identified from Aleppo Oak Gallnut, obtained from the Iraqi plant Quercus Infectoria L. Plant extracts were prepared using a continuous extraction apparatus, Soxhlet, with a successive solvent system based on polarity differences, including petroleum ether (60-80°C), ethanol (78°C), and hot aqueous extracts. Acid hydrolysis was performed on the raw ethanol and hot water extracts to obtain free phenolic compounds, including Gallic acid, Apigenin, Rutin, Kaempferol, Chlorogenic acid, and Caffeic acid, using high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) techniques. The inhibitory activity of Aleppo Oak Gallnut extracts (Ethanol and Hot Aqueous) after acid hydrolysis was tested using four concentrations (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) against various microorganisms. The Ethanol extract exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on Enterococcus faecalis. The Hot Aqueous extract showed a modest inhibitory effect on Enterococcus faecalis. The Ethanol extract demonstrated strong inhibition against Klebsiella pneumoniae. The Hot Aqueous extract at 100% and 75% showed high inhibition. The Ethanol extract exhibited significant inhibitory effects against Staphylococcus aureus at 100%. The Hot Aqueous extract at 75% and 100%  demonstrated weaker inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus. The Ethanol extract demonstrated weaker inhibition against E. coli, and the Hot Aqueous extract showed no effect at 50%  and 25%, and slight inhibition at 100%  and 75%. For Candida albicans, the Ethanol extract showed minimal inhibition at all concentrations and no effect at 25%. The Aqueous extract had a slight effect at 100%  and no inhibition at 75%, 50%, and 25%.
