Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health challenge with long-term consequences for the quality of human resources in Indonesia. Stunting prevention requires early detection through routine child growth monitoring conducted at Integrated Health Service Posts (Posyandu). Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge and motivation and the role of Posyandu cadres in child growth monitoring as an early detection strategy for stunting in the service area of Graha Indah Public Health Center, North Balikpapan. Methods: A descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. A total of 79 active Posyandu cadres were purposively selected as the study sample. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability and were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. Results: The results showed that Posyandu cadres generally had good levels of knowledge and motivation and performed their roles optimally. A strong and statistically significant relationship was found between motivation and the role of cadres (p=0,001), whereas knowledge was not significantly associated with cadre roles (p=0,650). Conclusion: These findings indicate that motivation is a key factor in optimizing the role of Posyandu cadres in child growth monitoring. This study recommends strengthening cadre motivation through continuous training, intensive supervision, and performance-based incentive systems to enhance the effectiveness of early stunting detection at the community level.

Abstract

Background: Higher education institutions play a strategic role in preparing competent healthcare professionals and ensuring the quality of health services in the community. In the era of rapid health system transformation and technological advancement, health polytechnics are required to strengthen organizational performance through effective knowledge management, lecturer competence, and motivation to support adaptive institutional capabilities. Objective: This study examined the effects of knowledge management, lecturer motivation, and lecturer competence on the institutional performance of Health Polytechnics. Methods: Using an explanatory quantitative design, data were collected from 380 lecturers at 38 institutions through stratified sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results: The results indicate that all independent variables significantly influence institutional performance. Organizational dynamic capabilities and lecturer performance are proven to act as significant mediators, both in parallel and serial relationships. A crucial finding indicates that the serial mediation pathway of knowledge management through dynamic capabilities and lecturer performance has the strongest influence. This confirms that the transformation of knowledge into organizational adaptive capabilities significantly determines institutional effectiveness. Conclusions: This research indicates that strengthening lecturer capacity is essential for producing graduates who are adaptive to digital transformation and modern healthcare systems. Practically, this study provides strategic guidance for human resource development in higher health education to improve public health services sustainably.

Abstract

Background: Opportunistic fungal infections such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus are increasing, particularly among immunocompromised patients. The use of synthetic antifungal agents is often limited by side effects, resistance, and high costs, thus alternatives from natural sources are needed. Rice straw (Oryza sativa L.), an agricultural by-product rich in bioactive compounds, has been reported to possess antibacterial activity; however, its potential as an antifungal agent has not been extensively investigated. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal potential of rice straw (Oryza sativa L.) extract against the growth of two pathogenic fungi, Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. Methods: The research was conducted experimentally in a laboratory with a quantitative approach. Extraction of rice straw was carried out using maceration with 96% ethanol, followed by fractionation with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol solvents based on polarity differences. Antifungal activity was tested using the well diffusion method, with inhibition zone measurements as an indicator of effectiveness. Results: The results showed that ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions exhibited significant antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus, as evidenced by the largest inhibition zones at a concentration of 7%. The ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated an average inhibition zone of 18.25 mm against Candida albicans and 12.83 mm against Aspergillus fumigatus. Conversely, the n-hexane fraction did not show antifungal activity. Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences among concentrations and fraction types. Conclusion: This study concludes that rice straw extract, particularly the ethyl acetate fraction, possesses potential as a natural antifungal agent effective against pathogenic fungi, and may be further developed for traditional plant-based therapy.

Abstract

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension have become significant global health challenges. One of the main factors contributing to this problem is the high consumption of packaged foods and beverages with excessive sugar, fat, and sodium content. Nutrition information labels have been identified as an effective strategy to raise awareness and encourage healthier consumption behavior change. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various nutrition information labeling systems, including Front-of-Pack Labeling (FOPL) such as Nutri-Score, Nutri-Grade, Health Star Rating, and warning-based labels, in improving consumer awareness, understanding, and consumption behavior. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using thirteen journals selected based on PRISMA guidelines, focusing on awareness, understanding, and changes in consumption behavior. Results: Intuitive visual labels increased consumer awareness by 75% and reduced sugar consumption by 1.51 grams per serving. Warning-based labels reduced purchases of unhealthy products by 17%. Conclusions: Effective nutrition labeling should adopt clear visual formats and be supported by public education. Further policy recommendations include integrating labeling with education campaigns and additional regulations, such as sugar taxes, to strengthen the long-term impact on healthier consumption patterns.

Abstract

Background: During pregnancy, one important aspect that needs to be considered is the formation of maternal-fetal attachment (MFA), which is the emotional bond that forms between a mother and her fetus during pregnancy. Maternal-fetal attachment begins to develop before the baby is born, even while it is still in the womb. Objective: This study analyses scientific evidence related to factors that influence maternal-fetal attachment in adolescent pregnant women. Methods: This review used the PRISMA-ScR diagram. Literature searches were conducted using three databases and one search engine, namely PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar. This review began in February 2025. Articles were assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist for cohort, cross-sectional, and qualitative studies, with inclusion criteria being original research articles, articles published between 2020-2025, in English, open access and available in full text, with a research focus on MFA in adolescent pregnancy, while exclusion criteria were paid articles and articles with only abstracts. From the 211 articles selected, 7 relevant articles were obtained, 6 quantitative articles and 1 qualitative article. Results: the factors that influence maternal-fetal attachment in adolescent pregnant women are health practices during pregnancy, the mother's psychological condition, emotional and social support, sociodemographic and marital factors, pregnancy characteristics, and family and cultural background. Conclusion: Maternal-fetal attachment in adolescent pregnancy is influenced by psychological, social, and contextual factors. Strengthening psychosocial support and promoting healthy behaviors are essential to improve attachment and maternal well-being.

Abstract

Background: Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in one or both lungs originating from epithelial cells. In Indonesia, lung cancer ranks fourth among all cancer types and is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. Management of lung cancer involves various therapeutic modalities, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and combination therapy. Certain chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin and carboplatin, are known to have a narrow therapeutic index and high toxicity, so inappropriate regimen selection or dosing may result in serious adverse effects or even death. All chemotherapy agents carry the potential for toxicity, including both hematological and non-hematological effects, with hematological toxicities commonly manifesting as anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia of varying severity. Objective: This study aimed to determine the hematologic profile in patients after chemotherapy. Methods: This study was a descriptive research with a cross-sectional design using a total sampling technique. During the August-December 2023 period, 36 lung cancer patients met the inclusion criteria at Arifin Achmad Hospital, namely lung cancer patients with adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma who underwent advanced chemotherapy with a cycle of 21 days in the August-December 2023 period. Results: Of the 36 patients, 29 (80.56%) were male. The highest age of patients undergoing chemotherapy was ≥ 40 years (94.44%). Changes in the hematological profile after chemotherapy occurred in 14 patients (38.89%), with the most common hematological profile being anemia. Conclusion: The use of chemotherapy regimens can cause changes in the hematologic profile, including anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.
