Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease and an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among older adults. Effective self-management is essential for blood pressure control, but evidence on its association with physician-diagnosed heart disease among community-dwelling older adults in Indonesia remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between hypertension self-management and physician-diagnosed heart disease among older adults in Bantul District, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2025 at Balai Lansia Madania, Bantul District. Thirty-four older adults with hypertension were selected using purposive sampling. Hypertension self-management was assessed using the Hypertension Self-Management Behavior Questionnaire (HSMBQ). Physician-diagnosed heart disease was identified from available medical records and classified as present or absent based on documented diagnoses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation test, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Most participants were female (76.5%), aged 71–80 years (47.1%), had elementary school education (38.2%), and were unemployed (44.1%). Good hypertension self-management was observed in 82.4%, while 50.0% had physician-diagnosed heart disease. A significant negative association was found between hypertension self-management and physician-diagnosed heart disease (rₛ = −0.363; p = 0.035). Conclusion: Higher hypertension self-management scores were significantly associated with a lower prevalence of physician-diagnosed heart disease among older adults with hypertension. However, the cross-sectional design does not permit causal inference. The findings support strengthening hypertension self-management through primary healthcare and community-based services.

Abstract

Background: Dengue prevention in Southeast Asia requires a comprehensive understanding of diverse factors to support context-tailored public health interventions, encompassing both source reduction and personal protection. Objective: This scoping review maps the multidimensional factors (demographic, socioeconomic, psychological, and behavioral) associated with dengue prevention behaviors in Southeast Asia. Methods: Following   PRISMA-ScR   guidelines, this review used a PCC framework with general populations as the population, demographic, socioeconomic, psychological, and behavioral determinants as the concept, and Southeast Asia as the context. Searches across PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest covered primary studies published from January 1, 2020, to September 11, 2025. Title and abstract screening was initially conducted by one reviewer, followed by independent full-text screening by two reviewers, with data extraction and cross-checking using a standardized charting template. Results: After systematic screening and feasibility assessment of 843 records, we included 16 studies from four countries in the final analysis. The findings indicate that community dengue prevention behaviors were frequently associated with psychological constructs, specifically self-efficacy and cues to action. However, a persistent "knowledge-practice gap" frequently co-occurs alongside socioeconomic and structural barriers, such as income constraints, high-density housing, and unreliable infrastructure, which are inversely associated with routine vector control practices. Conclusion: Because dengue prevention in Southeast Asia is shaped by socio-ecological realities rather than individual choice, future strategies should integrate psychological empowerment with routine breeding-site elimination. Practically, these findings underscore the need for national programs, such as Indonesia’s “1 Rumah 1 Jumantik”, to incorporate psychological approaches to achieve sustainable vector control.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five years of age, particularly in developing Asian countries. Limited healthcare access and suboptimal service quality contribute to delayed diagnosis and inadequate management. However, evidence on health system factors influencing childhood pneumonia management remains fragmented and has not been comprehensively mapped regionally. Objective: This scoping review aimed to identify, map, and synthesize evidence on healthcare service factors influencing pneumonia management among under-five children in developing Asian countries. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and reported according to the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. Literature published between 2015 and 2025 was searched in PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO. Eligible studies were selected using the Population–Concept–Context framework and synthesized through descriptive thematic analysis. Results: Of 1,908 records identified, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies represented six developing Asian countries: Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Nepal. Four interrelated themes emerged: healthcare accessibility and service quality as core health-system factors, and caregiver awareness and health-seeking behavior, as well as socioeconomic and cultural conditions, as contextual factors influencing healthcare utilization and the timeliness of pneumonia management. Conclusion: Healthcare service factors play an important role in childhood pneumonia management. Strengthening primary healthcare services, healthcare worker capacity, caregiver health literacy, and access to care may support more timely pneumonia management and improve health outcomes among children under five years of age.

Abstract

Background: Non-communicable diseases are associated with cardiometabolic abnormalities that may begin early in life. University students are an important population for assessment, because lifestyle changes during this period may contribute to cardiometabolic risk. Objective: This study determined the prevalence and co-occurrence of cardiometabolic risk indicators among university students in Lampung Province and explored the association between sex and multiple indicators. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to September 2025 among 210 students aged 18–25 years from four purposively selected universities in Lampung Province, Indonesia. Participants were recruited using non-probability sampling. Indicators assessed were elevated body mass index (BMI ≥23 kg/m²), elevated blood pressure (systolic ≥130 mmHg and/or diastolic ≥85 mmHg), and elevated fasting blood glucose (≥100 mg/dL). Participants were classified as having no, one, or multiple indicators (≥2). Sex differences in multiple indicators were examined using Fisher’s exact test and unadjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Median age was 20 years (range 18–24). Elevated BMI occurred in 30.0% of participants, elevated blood pressure in 24.8%, and elevated fasting blood glucose in 8.6%. Overall, 52.4% had no indicators, 33.3% had one, and 14.3% had multiple indicators. Multiple indicators were found in 30.0% of males and 11.7% of females. Male students had higher odds of multiple indicators (OR=3.24; 95% CI: 1.31–8.01; p=0.020). Conclusion: Cardiometabolic risk indicators were present and co-occurred among students, with elevated BMI being most prevalent. The sex association was exploratory and should be interpreted cautiously.

Abstract

Background: Patient safety incident reporting is important for identifying problems in healthcare delivery and supporting corrective actions. However, underreporting among nurses remains a concern and may be related to limited knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with reporting procedures. Mentorship combined with transformational leadership principles may support improvement in these areas. Objective: This study aimed to examine changes in nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with patient safety incident reporting following a Transformational Leadership-Based Mentorship Program compared with routine practice. Methods: A quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 40 nurses in the inpatient units of Hospital X. Total sampling was used, with 20 nurses in the intervention group and 20 in the control group. The intervention group participated in a two-week structured mentorship program involving discussion, coaching, practical guidance, case reflection, supervision, and feedback. The control group continued routine nursing practice. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with patient safety incident reporting. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney U test at a significance level of 0.05. Results: In the intervention group, mean knowledge scores increased from 30.90 to 45.60, attitudes from 30.00 to 43.73, and compliance from 28.90 to 44.70. Within-group changes were significant for all three outcomes (p<0.001). Posttest scores also differed significantly between the intervention and control groups for knowledge, attitudes, and compliance (p<0.001). Conclusion: The Transformational Leadership-Based Mentorship Program was associated with greater improvements in nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with patient safety incident reporting than routine practice.

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer represents a critical global public health concern. According to the latest data from the WHO (Globocan 2024), cervical cancer ranks fourth among the most frequently diagnosed cancers in women worldwide, with an estimated 660,000 new cases and 350,000 deaths annually. The vast majority of these deaths (approximately 90%) occur in low- and middle-income countries, including Indonesia, where access to screening and early treatment remains severely limited. Cervical cancer caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women in Indonesia. Despite the IVA Test being a crucial strategy in reducing morbidity and mortality rates, national screening coverage in 2023 reached only 7.02% of the 70% target. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between knowledge level, attitude, and spousal support among Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) and their low participation in IVA Test screening at Clinic X in 2025. Methods: This study employed a observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The study population comprised all women of reproductive age between 15–50 years, with a sample of 88 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Results: The findings revealed that respondents' attitudes had a significant relationship on IVA Test screening participation (p = 0.01 < α = 0.05). In contrast, neither knowledge level (p = 0.982 > α = 0.05) nor spousal support (p = 0.152 > α = 0.05) demonstrated a statistically significant effect on IVA Test participation. Conclusion: Among the variables examined, the attitude of women of reproductive age emerged as relationship the low coverage of IVA Test screening. Knowledge level and spousal support did not yield statistically significant impacts in this study.

Abstract

Background: Puberty involves physical and psychological changes that may affect menstrual regularity. Polymenorrhea, defined as menstrual cycles shorter than 21 days, may be associated with nutritional status and stress. Hormonal imbalance may contribute to this condition, while nutritional and psychological factors warrant attention when examining menstrual health during adolescence, particularly in local community settings. Objective: This study aimed to examine the associations of nutritional status and stress levels with polymenorrhea among adolescent girls. Methods: The study was conducted in 2025 among adolescent girls belonging to Karang Taruna youth organizations in Semarang City, Indonesia. Of 150 girls assessed for eligibility, 135 met the criteria and agreed to participate; 125 with complete data were included in the final analysis.Nutritional status was assessed using BMI-for-age derived from anthropometric measurements. Stress was assessed using the seven-item stress subscale of the DASS-21. Menstrual cycle length and history of polymenorrhea were assessed through structured interviews. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression. Results: Obesity was significantly associated with higher odds of polymenorrhea compared with normal nutritional status (aOR = 3.45; 95% CI: 1.47–8.15; p = 0.004). High stress levels were also significantly associated with higher odds compared with low stress levels (aOR = 5.12; 95% CI: 2.07–12.65; p < 0.001). Age, age at menarche, and physical activity were not significantly associated with polymenorrhea. Conclusion: Obesity and high stress levels were significantly associated with polymenorrhea among adolescent girls. These findings support the consideration of nutrition education emphasizing a balanced diet and stress-management strategies in adolescent menstrual health programs.

Abstract

Background: Blood pressure measurements are performed periodically depending on the patient's condition. This can cause discomfort and even injury. Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a preventive dressing tool used in continuous blood pressure measurement with a bedside monitor to prevent MDRPI in critically ill patients. Methods: The research method was Research and Development with 3 stages. The first stage was observation, interviews, literature studies, and  FGDs with 8 critically ill nurses, one electromedical staff member and one facilities staff member. The second stage was a validity and usability test using 3 experts (intensivist, intensive care cardiologist, dermatologist) and 30 healthy respondents. The third stage was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group with 120 patients (60 in the intervention group, 60 in the control group) using consecutive allocation, sampling was conducted sequentially across the control and intervention groups. Data analysis used chi-square, fisher, kolmogorov-smirnov. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: The developed dressing achieved a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.90 and a System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 83.08. The intervention significantly improved patient comfort and reduced pain (p = 0.043), but its effect on redness was not statistically significant (p = 0.122). No allergic reactions were observed in either group. Conclusion: The developed preventive dressing demonstrated good validity and usability and significantly improved patient comfort while reducing pain. Further evaluation is needed before its application in pediatric patients.

Abstract

Background: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is a significant obstetric complication associated with maternal and neonatal morbidity. AMC Hospital, Metro City, Lampung Province, recorded persistently high PROM rates of 40.83% (2014) and 41.14% (2015); however, risk factors and associated complications remain inadequately analyzed at the facility level. Objective: To analyze associations between demographic and obstetric risk factors with (1) PROM occurrence and (2) maternal and neonatal complications among PROM cases at AMC Hospital. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed medical records of 309 mothers from 1,351 deliveries at AMC Hospital in 2016, selected via systematic random sampling. Of these, 83 (26.9%) were diagnosed with PROM. Bivariate analysis used chi-square test (95% CI, p<0.05). Results: Among 83 PROM cases, the predominant delivery mode was cesarean section (90.4%), classified as an obstetric intervention. Clinical maternal complications included infection (21.7%) and labor arrest (14.5%). Neonatal complications included asphyxia (66.3%) and low birth weight (15.7%). Significant associations with maternal complications were found for parity (p=0.002; OR=2.607), preeclampsia (p=0.037; OR=7.959), maternal age (p=0.003; OR=2.268), and education level (p=0.028; OR=4.064). Employed occupational status was significantly associated with PROM occurrence (p<0.001; OR=6.351). Conclusion: Among PROM cases, maternal and neonatal morbidity was high, including cesarean delivery (90.4%), infection (21.7%), neonatal asphyxia (66.3%), and low birth weight (15.7%). Key associated factors included adverse parity, preeclampsia/eclampsia, high-risk maternal age, low educational level, and employed occupational status. Given the retrospective cross-sectional design, these findings represent associations rather than causal relationships.

Abstract

Background: Depression among the elderly often goes undetected, despite a national prevalence of 11.6%, rising to 20% in community settings. Brain gym and gamelan music have been studied separately to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression in older adults; this study explores their combination as a culture-based complementary nursing intervention. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a culture-based complementary intervention in reducing depression among the elderly, thereby contributing to improved community mental health. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a control group and pre-test/post-test assessments was used. A total of 186 elderly participants, recruited via purposive sampling, were assigned to intervention (n = 93) or control (n = 93) groups. The intervention group received twenty therapy sessions, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using paired and independent samples t-tests, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Mean GDS-15 scores decreased from 9.12 ± 2.562 to 6.06 ± 2.892 in the intervention group (p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 1.99) and from 8.66 ± 2.684 to 8.22 ± 3.103 in the control group (p = 0.004; Cohen's d = 0.31). The score reduction was significantly greater in the intervention group than in the control group (−3.054 ± 1.535 vs. −0.441 ± 1.425; mean difference = 2.61; t(184) = −12.030; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 1.76). Conclusion: A combination of brain gym and Balinese gamelan is effective in reducing depression among the elderly and has potential as a culture-based nursing approach.
