Abstract

Background: Unintended pregnancy (UP) is a reproductive health problem that can undermine psychological well-being, social functioning, and family dynamics, particularly marital interaction. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the extent to which social support and coping strategies predict the quality of marital interaction among couples experiencing UP. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed involving 200 couples from Bekasi City and Bekasi Regency, Indonesia, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews using standardized questionnaires and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results: The results showed that most couples reported low levels of social support and marital interaction, while coping strategies were generally at a moderate level. Social support had a significant positive effect on both coping strategies (p < 0.01) and marital interaction (p < 0.01), and coping strategies also had a significant positive effect on marital interaction (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of strengthening social support networks and enhancing adaptive coping skills to improve marital quality and foster family resilience in the context of unintended pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: A file fracture is a significant complication in endodontic treatment, particularly when it obstructs access to the apical root canal. The primary cause is torsional fatigue, occurring when applied force exceeds the elastic limit of NiTi alloys. Heat-treated rotary files have been developed to improve torsional resistance. Objective: To compare the time to fracture due to torsional fatigue between gold and blue heat-treated rotary files under taper lock conditions. Methods: A total of 48 heat-treated rotary files (#25.04) were embedded in bulk-fill composite resin blocks to simulate taper lock. Samples were randomly divided into eight groups (n=6): E-Flex Gold (3 mm, 5 mm), EndoArt Smart Gold (3 mm, 5 mm), E-Flex Blue (3 mm, 5 mm), and EndoArt Smart Blue (3 mm, 5 mm). Torsional fatigue time was recorded from the start of rotation using an endomotor until fracture occurred. Results: One-way ANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference in torsional fatigue time among groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Blue heat-treated rotary files showed longer fracture times and may be safer in high taper lock conditions, although results are limited by the in vitro resin model.

Abstract

Background: Global evidence indicates that lifestyle behaviors and environmental stress contribute to blood pressure regulation; however, studies examining their combined effects on hypertension severity, particularly in rural Indonesian populations, remain limited. Objective: This study addresses this gap by applying multinomial logistic regression to predict hypertension stages and examine interactions between lifestyle and environmental stress. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 373 adults with hypertension aged ≥45 years in three rural villages in Kuningan Regency, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Lifestyle behaviors and environmental stress were assessed using validated questionnaires with acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s α> 0.70). Blood pressure was classified into Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 hypertension. Multinomial logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, and hypertension duration were performed to estimate main and interaction effects. Results: The model demonstrated strong predictive validity (χ²= 174.10; p< 0.001). A healthy lifestyle was significantly associated with higher odds of Stage 1 (OR= 30.04) and Stage 2 hypertension (OR= 11.45) compared with Stage 3. Mild to moderate environmental stress also showed a protective association with hypertension severity (p< 0.01). A significant lifestyle–stress interaction (p< 0.05) indicated that a healthy lifestyle attenuated the adverse effects of severe stress, maintaining a high predicted probability of milder hypertension (0.67). Conclusion: These findings provide empirical evidence from rural Indonesia that lifestyle behaviors and environmental stress function as independent and interactive predictors of hypertension severity, supporting adaptive and health promotion frameworks and community-based interventions aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 3.

Abstract

Background: Direct height measurement is often difficult in immobilized patients. Knee height measurement becomes an alternative, thus encouraging the development of an electronic knee height measuring device (EKHMD). Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the EKHMD in estimating knee height, height, and nutritional status. Methods:  This study used a quantitative approach with 30 healthy adults (15 men, 15 women) through purposive sampling. Anthropometric measurements used the EKHMD and a microtoise as standards. Validity was assessed using Pearson or Spearman correlation tests, agreement or accuracy using Bland–Altman plot analysis, and reliability using Cronbach-Alpha. Results: The results of the validity test showed that knee height measurements (r = 0.929), estimated height (r = 0.863 (sitting), r = 0.869 (lying down), and nutritional status (r = 0.952 (sitting), r = 0.970 (lying down) with significance for all variables (p = 0.00) which means that EKHMD correlated strongly with microtoise measurements (p < 0.05). Accuracy analysis using Bland–Altman measurements was in the range of Upper LoA and Lower LoA knee height (2.13 – (-1.43 cm)), estimated height (7.89 – (-9.05) cm (sitting) 0.049 (-0.029) cm (lying down)), and nutritional status (2.35 – (-2.01) (sitting), 0.06 – (-0.023) (lying down)) and Cronbach’s Alpha showed high reliability (p > 0.60), knee height (p=0.61), estimated height ((p=0.936 (Sitting), p=0.928 (Lying)), and nutritional status (p=0.983 (Sitting), p=0.984 (Lying)). Conclusion: Thus, EKHMD can be considered as a tool to measure estimated height and nutritional status but still needs to be developed further.
