Abstract

Academic stress and poor sleep quality are increasingly common among health sciences students due to intensive academic workloads, clinical training, and continuous performance evaluations. These conditions adversely affect psychological well-being, learning capacity, and academic performance. This study synthesized recent evidence on the relationship between academic stress and sleep quality through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were conducted in Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2020 and 2026. Of 322 identified records, 22 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative synthesis. The findings consistently showed that higher academic stress was associated with poorer sleep quality, including shorter sleep duration, longer sleep latency, frequent nocturnal awakenings, and greater daytime dysfunction. Major stressors included academic workload, examinations, clinical practice, and poor time management, while irregular sleep schedules, excessive screen time, and caffeine consumption further worsened sleep quality. These findings highlight the need for integrated stress management, sleep hygiene education, and mental health support programs to improve students' well-being and academic success.

Abstract

Family caregivers of patients with cancer frequently experience physical, psychological, social, and economic burdens throughout the caregiving process. Coping strategies are considered important in managing caregiving-related stress; however, evidence regarding the association between coping strategies and caregiver burden among family caregivers in East Nusa Tenggara remains limited. This study aimed to examine the association between coping strategies and caregiver burden among family caregivers of patients with cancer. A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 90 family caregivers of patients with cancer receiving treatment at Prof. W.Z. Johannes Hospital, Kupang. Participants were selected using random sampling. Coping strategies were assessed using the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), whereas caregiver burden was measured using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Most respondents demonstrated adaptive coping strategies (51.1%), while 48.9% used maladaptive coping strategies. More than half of the caregivers experienced a moderate level of caregiver burden (52.2%), followed by mild (33.3%) and severe burden (14.4%). The Chi-square test showed no statistically significant association between coping strategies and caregiver burden (p = 0.955). The findings indicate that caregiver burden among family caregivers of patients with cancer may be influenced by factors beyond coping strategies alone. Comprehensive interventions addressing psychological, social, and contextual factors are therefore needed to support family caregivers and reduce caregiver burden.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders are among the leading causes of disability and frequently require hospital care. This study aimed to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics of hospitalized patients with musculoskeletal disorders and to examine the distribution of diagnoses across different anatomical body regions and their associated sociodemographic factors. A quantitative observational study was conducted using secondary data from the medical records of 421 hospitalized patients diagnosed with musculoskeletal disorders at Gunung Jati Regional Hospital in Cirebon City, Indonesia, between December 2023 and December 2024. Diagnoses were classified into nine anatomical body regions based on the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire framework. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression were performed. Lower back disorders were the most common diagnosis (41.1%), followed by wrist/hand (22.1%) and knee disorders (11.9%). Sex, age, marital status, educational attainment, and occupation were significantly associated with specific anatomical regions, whereas place of residence was not. Female sex independently predicted wrist/hand disorders, while marital status and occupation independently predicted lower back disorders. These findings indicated that sociodemographic characteristics influenced musculoskeletal disorders differently across anatomical regions, highlighting the importance of region-specific and patient-centered strategies for prevention, early detection, and clinical management.

Abstract

Prehospital emergency care is a critical component of emergency care systems, particularly for time-sensitive trauma and medical conditions. However, many low- and middle-income countries have experienced persistent structural and operational challenges that have limited timely access to care. This scoping review aimed to identify and map strategies implemented to strengthen prehospital emergency care in low- and middle-income countries. The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. A systematic search was conducted in Web of Science, ProQuest, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Eligible studies were screened, data were extracted, and findings were synthesized using thematic narrative analysis. Twenty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. The evidence showed that strengthening prehospital emergency care required integrated system-level approaches, including community first responder engagement through task shifting, technology-supported coordination and dispatch, context-appropriate transport models, formal emergency medical service development, and standardization with continuous quality improvement. The implementation of these strategies varied according to local resources and system capacity. This review provided a comprehensive synthesis of system-level strengthening strategies across low- and middle-income countries, extending beyond previous reviews that primarily examined individual interventions, and offered an integrated framework to inform future policy, implementation, and research.

Abstract

The habit of drinking ballo among youth is not merely the consumption of a traditional alcoholic beverage, but a complex social phenomenon. This study aims to understand how ballo consumption is experienced and perceived by young people, how this habit is formed, and its implications for health behavior. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, this study involved six youth (16–24 years old) who routinely consume ballo and four informants (parents, peers, community leaders) in several locations in South Sulawesi. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, and participant observation. and then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results show that ballo is understood as a "social ticket" to be accepted within peer groups, as well as a coping mechanism for stress and life pressures. The formation of this habit is influenced by weak family supervision, strong peer pressure, and easy access to ballo that is normalized in local culture. Implications for health behavior include sleep disturbances, decreased concentration, emotional changes, reduced participation in productive activities, and reduced participation in productive and physical activities. This study concludes that interventions should not be merely informative and normative, but require a humanistic approach that considers the social meaning of ballo, strengthens the role of families, involves peers, and designs local policies that are culturally sensitive.

Abstract

Breast Self-Examination (BSE/SADARI) is a simple and cost-effective method for the early detection of breast cancer. However, many female adolescents still do not practice BSE regularly. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge level, information sources, and BSE behaviour among female students at SMA Pelita Rantepao. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 81 Grade XI female students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using validated self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test. The results showed that most respondents had good knowledge (76.5%) and adequate information sources (53.1%), yet the majority demonstrated poor BSE behaviour (67.9%). No significant association was found between knowledge level and BSE behaviour (p = 0.537). In contrast, information sources were significantly associated with BSE behaviour (p = 0.001). Respondents with adequate access to BSE information had higher odds of demonstrating good BSE behaviour than those with inadequate information sources (OR = 6.300; 95% CI: 2.067–19.204). This indicates a statistically significant association between information sources and BSE behaviour, with the confidence interval excluding 1. These findings indicate that access to reliable health information plays a more important role than knowledge alone in promoting BSE practice among adolescent girls. Strengthening school-based health education and improving access to credible information may enhance early breast cancer prevention behaviours.
