<![CDATA[Background: Adolescent girls experience biological changes in the form of menstruation, which is often accompanied by dysmenorrhea and anxiety. One non-pharmacological approach to reducing dysmenorrhea and anxiety in adolescent girls is acupressure on the SP 6 point. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of acupressure on the SP 6 point on reducing dysmenorrhea and anxiety in adolescent girls. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest–posttest control group design involving 30 adolescents, with 15 participants in each group selected through purposive sampling. Acupressure was administered three times for 30–60 seconds at 1-hour intervals. Dysmenorrhea and anxiety were assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) instruments, respectively. Data were analyzed using paired sample and independent sample t-tests. Results: The results showed a decrease in dysmenorrhea from 5.20 to 2.33 and a decrease in anxiety from 10.33 to 2.33 after the SP 6 acupressure technique was administered. There was an effect of acupressure on SP 6 points on the reduction of dysmenorrhea and anxiety in adolescent girls, and there is a difference in dysmenorrhea and anxiety with a p-value <0.001 (<0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that acupressure on the SP6 point has the potential to be an effective non-pharmacological intervention in reducing dysmenorrhea and anxiety in adolescent girls and can serve as a basis for further research on adolescent reproductive health management.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Service quality is an important indicator in evaluating hospital performance and determining patient satisfaction. The increasing number of inpatient admissions at Kendari City Regional General Hospital (RSUD Kota Kendari) is not always accompanied by an increase in facility capacity and healthcare personnel, which may affect service quality and patient satisfaction. Therefore, an evaluation of service quality based on the SERVQUAL model is necessary to identify the factors that most strongly influence inpatient satisfaction. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the influence of SERVQUAL dimensions, tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy on service quality and their impact on inpatient satisfaction at RSUD Kota Kendari. Methods: This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach conducted from May to June 2025 at RSUD Kota Kendari. A total of 233 inpatients were selected from a population of 554 patients using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a SERVQUAL-based questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the assistance of SmartPLS software. Results: All SERVQUAL dimensions had a positive and significant effect on service quality and patient satisfaction. The empathy dimension showed the most dominant influence (f² = 1.940), while service quality had a significant effect on patient satisfaction with a path coefficient of 0.677. Conclusion: Improving hospital service quality should emphasize the empathy of healthcare professionals, as positive interpersonal interactions are a key factor in enhancing inpatient satisfaction.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most common microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is closely related to changes in lipid profile. Objective: This study aimed to assess whether a significant relationship exists between lipid profile parameters and diabetic nephropathy among patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study used an observational analytical design with a retrospective cross-sectional approach involving 136 patients undergoing treatment at North City Health Centre, Gorontalo City, from September to December 2024. Lipid profile and nephropathy status data were collected through medical records, while statistical analysis included Mann–Whitney, Chi–Square, and Spearman's correlation tests. Results: The results showed significant differences in total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, and the total cholesterol/HDL ratio between the groups with and without diabetic nephropathy (p< 0.05), whereas HDL did not differ significantly. Spearman's correlation test showed that total cholesterol (r= 0.399), LDL (r= 0.300), triglycerides (r= 0.291), and the total cholesterol/HDL ratio (r= 0.316) were positively associated with nephropathy level, whereas HDL showed a non-significant negative correlation. Conclusion: These findings confirm that dyslipidaemia plays an essential role in the development of diabetic nephropathy and can be used as a clinical indicator for early detection. Monitoring and controlling lipid profiles is expected to help slow the progression of kidney damage in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Excessive fat accumulation resulting from an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure is the hallmark of obesity. The growing prevalence of obesity-associated T2DM has been attributed to changes in lifestyle patterns, sedentary behavior, and elevated anthropometric indicators, particularly BMI and waist circumference. Objective: This study aimed to analyze BMI and waist circumference among obese individuals with T2DM at Hamadi Health Center, Jayapura City. Methods: A case-control study was conducted involving 92 participants, consisting of 46 obese individuals with T2DM and 46 obese individuals without T2DM. Data were analyzed using the independent t-test for normally distributed variables and the Mann–Whitney test for non-normally distributed variables. Results: Significant differences were observed between the case and control groups in height (p=0.001), diastolic blood pressure (p=0.005), glucose level (p<0.001), triglycerides (p<0.001), HDL cholesterol (p=0.007), and insulin level (p<0.001). Conclusion: Obese individuals with T2DM exhibited significantly different metabolic and clinical profiles compared with obese individuals without diabetes. These findings emphasize the importance of metabolic monitoring and early risk assessment among obese populations.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia remains a significant challenge in public health development, with a national stunting rate of 21.5% in 2023, higher than the WHO target (<20%). One important factor influencing the nutritional status of toddlers is feeding practices, particularly in urban communities such as Babakan Ciparay, Bandung. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between feeding practices and the nutritional status of toddlers aged 24–59 months. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted from April to July 2024 among 47 mothers with toddlers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected based on anthropometric measurements of toddlers determine nutritional status (weight/age, height/age, weight/height) at Posyandu. Data on feeding practices were collected using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test (weight/age, height/age) and Fisher's Exact test (weight/height). Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between nutritional status of weight-for-age (BB/U) and type of food and between nutritional status of height-for-age (TB/U) and feeding method (p-value <0.05). However, no significant associations were found between amount of food and meal schedule and toddlers’ nutritional status based on BB/U, TB/U, or weight-for-height (BB/TB) (p-value>0.05). Conclusion: The quality of food type and feeding methods play important roles in toddlers’ nutritional status of toddlers, particularly in terms to BB/U and TB/U. Therefore, these findings can be used as a basis for planning family-based nutrition.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Food waste management in hospitals is an important issue in the context of sustainability and operational efficiency. Ineffectively managed food waste can negatively impact both hospital performance and the environment through increased greenhouse gas emissions. Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of waste management policies, waste sorting practices, staff training, and recycling facilities on sustainable health services at Dr. Loekmono Hadi Kudus Regional Hospital. Methods: A quantitative explanatory research design was employed using a survey approach. Data were collected from 100 purposively selected respondents and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the causal relationships among the latent variables. Results: The findings revealed that waste management policy had a significant positive effect on sustainable food waste management (β = 0.249; p = 0.000). Staff training showed a significant negative effect (β = -0.404; p = 0.000), indicating potential shortcomings in training implementation. Waste separation had no significant effect (β = -0.013; p = 0.866), which may be associated with low staff participation in waste segregation practices. In contrast, recycling facilities demonstrated a very strong positive effect (β = 0.957; p = 0.000). The model achieved an R² value of 0.836, indicating that 83.6% of the variance in sustainable food waste management was explained by the variables included in the model. Conclusion: Sustainable food waste management is strongly influenced by the availability of recycling facilities and supported by effective waste management policies.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The success of tuberculosis (TB) therapy remains a major challenge in primary healthcare services, particularly due to low medication adherence and variations in support provided by Treatment Observers (PMO). These factors play an important role in determining treatment outcomes and achieving successful TB control programs. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the success of tuberculosis therapy and examine the relationship between medication adherence, PMO support, and treatment outcomes at Kembaran 1 Health Center. Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional approach and was conducted from December 2024 to January 2025. Data were collected using structured questionnaires administered to respondents. A total sampling technique was used, resulting in a sample of 52 tuberculosis patients. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. The Chi-Square test was applied to determine the association between medication adherence, PMO support, and tuberculosis therapy success. Results: Univariate analysis showed that 29 respondents (55.8%) had low medication adherence. Most respondents received support from PMOs (78.8%), while 21.2% reported inadequate support. Tuberculosis therapy was successful in 43 patients (82.7%), whereas treatment failure occurred in 9 patients (17.3%). Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant association between medication adherence and tuberculosis therapy success (p = 0.013). In addition, PMO support was significantly associated with treatment success (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Medication adherence and PMO support were significantly associated with the success of tuberculosis therapy. Strengthening patient adherence and enhancing the role of treatment observers are essential strategies to improve treatment outcomes among tuberculosis patients in primary healthcare settings.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Hajj is a physical and spiritual activity that demands excellent health conditions, especially for pilgrims with chronic disease risks such as diabetes mellitus. HbA1c levels are a key indicator for assessing long-term glycemic control, which is highly relevant in predicting the risk of complications during the pilgrimage. Objective: This study aimed to analyze HbA1c levels and identify its correlation with participant characteristics in pilgrims. Methods: This study used an analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, with a sample size of 185 pilgrims from South Halmahera Province. Data were collected using a questionnaire sheet and HbA1c examination. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Test. Results: The results showed that there was a statistically significant correlation between the variables tested (sig. value <0.05). There was a strong positive correlation with a correlation coefficient (r = 0.82) and a very high significance level (P-value< 0.0012). The r value indicates that the higher the Fasting Blood Sugar level of a worshiper, the higher the HbA1c level, reflecting poor long-term glycemic control. Conclusion: The conclusion in this study is that there is a strong and significant positive correlation between Fasting Blood Sugar levels and HbA1c levels in pilgrims of South Halmahera Province. These findings emphasize the importance of screening and strict glycemic management, both instantaneous and long-term blood sugar levels, as part of the pilgrims' health preparation to minimize health risks during the pilgrimage.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Diabetes among children and adolescents represents a significant health concern that is on the rise due to unhealthy lifestyle choices. According to the Indonesian Diabetes Association (IDAI), the incidence of diabetes in children increased by 70 times from 2010 to January 2023. EVOO is rich in bioactive compounds that may influence glucose metabolism and body composition. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of EVOO supplementation in adolescent girls. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a control group was employed for this research. The population of this study was all female adolescents at SMKN 13 Malang, and subjects were selected through purposive sampling. The subjects consisted of 30 female adolescents divided into an intervention group (n=15) receiving 10 ml/day of EVOO supplementation for 3 months and a control group (n=15) receiving no treatment.The parameters assessed included body weight, height, BMI, and HbA1c levels, measured before and after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using the t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The results indicated a significant reduction in body weight (from 61.00±4.93 kg to 59.73±4.54 kg; p=0.000), BMI (from 25.50±0.57 kg/m² to 24.94±0.74 kg/m²; p=0.000), and HbA1c levels (from 5.30±0.19% to 5.18±0.16%; p=0.001). Although height showed a slight increase, this change was not statistically significant (from 154.33±5.68 cm to 154.67±5.51 cm; p=0.150). The control group did not exhibit significant changes across any of the parameters. Conclusion: The administration of EVOO is effective in reducing body weight, BMI, and HbA1c levels in adolescent girls, while it does not impact height. Therefore, EVOO may serve as a valuable adjunctive therapy for weight management and glycemic control in adolescents.]]>
