Abstract

Preoperative anxiety is common among women scheduled for cesarean section (C-section), affecting surgical outcomes, recovery, and bonding. This study investigated the effect of guided deep breathing relaxation on reducing preoperative anxiety in C-section patients. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was conducted with 30 participants from [Name of Hospital]. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 15), which practiced deep breathing exercises 30 minutes before surgery, and a control group (n = 15) receiving standard care. Preoperative anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after the intervention. Results showed a significant decrease in anxiety scores in the intervention group (from 45.2 ± 6.3 to 33.5 ± 5.8, p < 0.001), while the control group showed minimal change (44.8 ± 5.9 to 43.6 ± 6.1, p = 0.124). Post-intervention comparisons revealed a significant difference between groups (t = 7.21, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that guided deep breathing effectively reduces preoperative anxiety in C-section patients, suggesting it as a simple, safe, and cost-effective intervention that can improve maternal psychological well-being and surgical readiness. This non-pharmacological approach may also contribute to better postoperative outcomes.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a unique time in a woman's life and a valuable experience for a married couple. During pregnancy, women adjust to their pregnancy, and it's not uncommon for many to experience disappointment and anxiety due to hormonal influences and physical and psychological changes. Anxious pregnant women can experience negative consequences for themselves and their fetuses, such as increased blood pressure, preeclampsia, prematurity, low birth weight, and even the risk of maternal and fetal death. Hypnobirthing is a method for reducing anxiety and has no effect on fetal growth and development. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hypnobirthing as self-hypnosis in reducing anxiety in pregnant women. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a sample size of 50 participants. Data collection was conducted at Tidore City Regional Hospital. The variables used in this study were the level of anxiety of pregnant women as the dependent variable and hypnobirthing as the independent variable. Maternal anxiety levels were measured before and after hypnobirthing using the HARS questionnaire. Univariate and bivariate analyses (Wilcoxon sign test) were used for analysis. The results of the study showed that there was a difference in anxiety levels before and after hypnobirthing was given of 0.92 and there was a p-value of 0.0001, which means that there was a significant influence between hypnobirthing and reducing anxiety in pregnant women

Abstract

Background: Contraception is an effective method for controlling fertility and reducing the risk of unintended pregnancies. However, the utilization of long-term contraceptive methods remains relatively low. Several factors such as education level, parity, and age are believed to influence women’s decisions in choosing Contraception. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the influence of education, parity, and age on the use of Contraception. Methods: This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 30 women of reproductive age selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test to determine the association between education, parity, age, and the use of Contraception. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between education level, parity, and age with the use of Contraception. Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test obtained a p-value of 0.003 (p < 0.05), indicating that education, parity, and age significantly influenced the use of long-term contraceptive methods. Conclusion: Education level, parity, and age have a significant influence on the use of Contraception. Improving health education and counseling regarding long-term contraceptive methods is essential to increase their utilization among women of reproductive age.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy is a major public health issue, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, contributing to maternal morbidity and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The second trimester, marked by increased iron needs due to plasma volume expansion and fetal growth, is critical for preventing anemia. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera), rich in micronutrients, may serve as an effective nutritional intervention to enhance hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. This study aimed to assess the impact of moringa leaf supplementation on hemoglobin levels in second-trimester pregnant women. Using a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design, the study was conducted at the Tadoy Community Health Center in Bolaang Mongondow Regency from October to November 2025, involving 25 pregnant women selected via purposive sampling. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the supplementation. Data analysis, including the Shapiro-Wilk test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, indicated significant changes in hemoglobin levels (p = 0.000). The results showed a notable increase in hemoglobin levels post-supplementation, supporting the potential of moringa leaves as a safe, affordable, and effective intervention. This finding suggests that moringa leaves could be integrated into antenatal care and nutrition education to help prevent anemia in pregnant women.

Abstract

Indonesia’s infant mortality rate remains a pressing public health challenge, recorded at 24 per 1,000 live births in 2021. Most infant deaths occur within the first month of life and are preventable through adequate parental knowledge of newborn care. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health education on mothers’ knowledge of newborn care at home. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The sample consisted of 30 mothers with newborns aged 0–3 months, selected using purposive sampling. Knowledge was measured using a validated questionnaire before and after health education interventions delivered through counseling and group discussions. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Paired T-Test. Results showed that prior to the intervention, 46.7% of mothers had insufficient knowledge, 36.6% had sufficient knowledge, and 16.7% had good knowledge. After the intervention, knowledge improved significantly, with 56.7% achieving good knowledge. The average score increased from 58.40 to 78.60, with a t-value of -9.84 and p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). The findings confirm that health education significantly enhances maternal knowledge of newborn care, supporting efforts to reduce infant mortality in Indonesia through improved home-based practices.

Abstract

Immunization is a vital public health strategy to prevent infectious diseases and reduce morbidity and mortality. In Indonesia, the Pentabio vaccine protects against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae type b. Despite its effectiveness, post-immunization reactions such as fever and local pain are common, potentially affecting caregiver perceptions and immunization adherence. A descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among infants receiving Pentabio immunization at Posyandu in the UPT Timpah Community Health Center, Central Kalimantan. Data were collected through structured observation and caregiver interviews for infants aged 2–11 months. Fever (≥37.5°C) and local pain (tenderness, redness, or swelling) were assessed. Of the 30 infants, 40% were aged 2–3 months, 33.33% were 4–6 months, and 26.67% were 7–11 months, with slightly more males (53.33%). Post-immunization fever occurred in 60%, and local pain in 70%, with both reactions being mild, transient, and appearing within 24–48 hours. These findings highlight the commonality of mild adverse events, especially in early infancy, and underscore the need for clear caregiver education to maintain confidence in immunization services and ensure adherence to vaccination schedules.

Abstract

Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) remain a major global challenge in healthcare services, contributing significantly to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Nurses’ compliance with the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a critical component in infection prevention and control programs. Supervision by Infection Prevention and Control Nurses (IPCNs) is considered a key factor in improving compliance. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between IPCN supervision and nurses’ compliance with PPE usage in inpatient wards at Grha Permata Ibu Hospital, Depok, in 2025. This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational analytic design with a cross-sectional method. The population consisted of all 56 nurses working in four inpatient wards, and total sampling was applied. Data were collected using a structured IPCN supervision questionnaire and direct observation checklists of PPE compliance. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test. The results revealed that most respondents perceived IPCN supervision as moderate (58.9%), while the majority demonstrated compliance with PPE usage (62.5%). Bivariate analysis indicated a statistically significant relationship between IPCN supervision and PPE compliance (p = 0.001). Nurses receiving high-level IPCN supervision were 33.85 times more likely to comply with PPE usage compared to those receiving moderate supervision. In conclusion, IPCN supervision plays a crucial role in enhancing nurses’ compliance with PPE usage. Strengthening IPCN supervisory functions through structured monitoring, continuous education, and consistent evaluation is strongly recommended to improve patient and healthcare worker safety and to reduce the incidence of HAIs in hospital settings.

Abstract

Blood sampling is a mildly invasive medical procedure aimed at detecting diseases, assessing organ function, and evaluating the patient's overall health. It often causes pain, which can affect patient comfort. Pain perception during this procedure is influenced by both physiological and psychological factors. Therefore, safe and easily implemented non-pharmacological interventions are essential to alleviate pain intensity, and one such intervention is deep breathing relaxation. This descriptive observational study employed a quantitative one-shot case study design with a posttest-only approach. Pain intensity was measured after the deep breathing relaxation intervention was given, without any pretest. The findings revealed that after the deep breathing relaxation intervention, most respondents experienced mild pain (84 people, 70.6%), moderate pain (32 people, 26.9%), and severe pain (2 people, 1.7%). The results indicate that deep breathing relaxation significantly reduces pain intensity during blood sampling and can be effectively used as a non-pharmacological intervention to enhance patient comfort during medical procedures.

Abstract

Hypertension is a condition characterized by systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension showed an increasing trend in 2018, reaching 34.1% based on national survey data. Effective control of hypertension is essential to prevent long-term complications and acute cardiovascular events. Non-adherence to antihypertensive medication can increase cardiac workload. In addition to adherence to pharmacological therapy, unhealthy dietary patterns also contribute to the rising prevalence of hypertension. Therefore, adequate health literacy is required to support patients with hypertension in maintaining regular medication use and adopting healthy lifestyle changes, particularly in dietary management. To determine the relationship between health literacy and dietary patterns, as well as medication adherence among patients with hypertension. This study employed a non-experimental descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 113 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires with ordinal scales and analyzed using the Gamma test. The results showed a p-value of 0.00 (<0.05) with correlation coefficients of R = 0.982 and R = 1.000, indicating a positive and very strong relationship between health literacy and dietary patterns, as well as medication adherence. There is a positive and very strong relationship between health literacy and dietary patterns and medication adherence among patients with hypertension.
