Abstract

Background: Occupational exposure to fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) in small-scale silver industries increases the risk of respiratory impairment. Spirometry is widely used to assess lung function, but differences in interpretation methods may affect diagnostic accuracy. The conventional percent predicted (%Pred) method is still commonly applied, although the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) 2012 recommends a Z-score–based approach. Objective: This study compared lung function classification using the %Pred method and the GLI 2012 Z-score approach among silver industry workers. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study involved 33 workers from large-scale and home-based silver industries. Spirometry measured forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV₁/FVC ratio. Lung function was classified using both %Pred and GLI 2012 methods. Differences and agreement were analyzed using the McNemar test and Cohen’s Kappa. Results: The GLI 2012 method detected a higher proportion of restrictive impairment (36.4%) than the %Pred method (21.2%). Six workers (18.2%) were reclassified from normal (%Pred) to abnormal (GLI). A significant difference was found between methods (p = 0.041), with moderate agreement (κ = 0.586). No obstructive pattern was identified. Conclusion: The GLI 2012 Z-score method is more sensitive in detecting restrictive lung impairment than the %Pred approach. The %Pred method may underestimate abnormalities. Adoption of GLI-based interpretation can improve accuracy in occupational respiratory assessment.

Abstract

Lalapan, the traditional Sundanese raw vegetable salad of Indonesia, is a significant component of the daily diet for millions of Indonesians; however, the nutritional composition, particularly the mineral, vitamin, and dietary fiber fractions of its constituent leafy vegetables, remains insufficiently characterized in the scientific literature. Objective This study aimed to determine the mineral content (calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium), β-carotene, vitamin C, and dietary fiber fractions (soluble, insoluble, and total) in aqueous leaf extracts of four lalapan vegetables: gandaria (Bouea macrophylla), kemangi (Ocimum americanum), pohpohan (Pilea melastomoides), and selada (Lactuca sativa). Methods: Fresh leaves were subjected to aqueous maceration extraction as described. Mineral analysis was performed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AOAC 975.03), β-carotene by HPLC (AOAC 45.1.34), vitamin C by titration (AOAC 967.21), and dietary fiber by the enzymatic-gravimetric method. Data are presented as mean ± SD from triplicate analyses. Results: Pohpohan exhibited the highest calcium (1697.05 ± 11.70 mg/100 g) and magnesium (1990.11 ± 6.01 mg/100 g) content, while selada contained the highest potassium (8709.03 ± 34.36 mg/100 g). Kemangi demonstrated the greatest β-carotene concentration (7.69 ± 0.13 mg/100 g), and Gandaria the highest vitamin C (59.66 ± 3.53 mg/100 g). Pohpohan also recorded the highest total dietary fiber (22.11 ± 1.40%) with a predominance of soluble fiber (12.24%). Conclusion: All four lalapan species are nutritionally valuable, with pohpohan and kemangi demonstrating exceptional mineral and vitamin profiles. These findings support promoting lalapan as a functional food component in Indonesian dietary guidelines.

Abstract

Stunting is a public health issue that requires special attention, especially in relation to risk factors such as low maternal education, low birth weight babies, maternal age, premature birth, and inadequate antenatal care. The objective of this study was to map the distribution of stunting in Lambitu Subdistrict, Bima Regency, using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to assist policymakers in designing more targeted and effective intervention programmes. The method used was quantitative descriptive research with a GIS approach, including the collection of secondary data from the Lambitu Community Health Centre on the number of toddlers and stunting cases, as well as spatial data in the form of village boundary maps analysed using GIS software to produce thematic maps of stunting distribution. The results showed a fluctuating trend and uneven distribution of stunting cases in the six villages during the period 2023 to 2025. In 2023, Kuta village had the highest stunting prevalence at 16% (orange), followed by Teta at 15% and Londu at 14% (bright orange). In 2024, Ka'owa had the highest prevalence at 22% (bright red), followed by Teta at 19% (orange) and Kuta at 10% (yellow). In 2025, Ka'owa remained the highest at 22.78% (bright red), followed by Sambori at 17.91% and Kaboro at 16.92% (orange), while Teta and Londu decreased to 10% and 9.69% (yellow). The conclusion of this study is that the use of GIS is highly effective in mapping and analysing the distribution of stunting, as well as assisting in decision-making and planning more targeted spatial data-based interventions.

Abstract

Reproductive health self-efficacy among nursing students in semi-urban Indonesia remains inadequately addressed. In Kabanjahe, Karo Regency, North Sumatra, structured reproductive health promotion within nursing education is largely absent. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a peer-based reproductive health promotion programme on self-efficacy among nursing students in Kabanjahe. A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design was conducted with 62 nursing students (31 per group) recruited via purposive sampling. The intervention comprised six peer-led sessions of 90 minutes each over six weeks. Self-efficacy was measured using the validated Reproductive Health Self-Efficacy Scale (RHSES-25; Cronbach's α = 0.887). The intervention group demonstrated significant improvement in self-efficacy (pre: 56.84 ± 6.52; post: 67.91 ± 5.87; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 1.82), while the control group showed no significant change (p = 0.098; d = 0.31). The between-group post-test difference was highly significant (p < 0.001; d = 1.46). Multiple regression identified group allocation (β = 0.523) and baseline self-efficacy (β = 0.312) as significant predictors (R² = 0.524). Peer-based reproductive health promotion significantly improved self-efficacy among nursing students in Kabanjahe and represents a scalable, culturally responsive model replicable across semi-urban districts in Indonesia.

Abstract

Mechanical ventilators are complex medical devices essential to critical nursing education; however, learning in health colleges has predominantly been conducted through conventional methods such as lectures and handbooks, with limited practical exposure. Limited equipment, high costs, and lack of hands-on experience have contributed to low levels of knowledge, learning motivation, and self-efficacy among students. This study was conducted to develop and evaluate a Virtual Reality-based Ventilator Laboratory using 360-degree video as an innovative learning medium that provides immersive and interactive experiences. The research applied a Research and Development approach using the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation model. The effectiveness evaluation employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group. A total of 50 nursing students were randomly assigned to an intervention group and a control group. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using paired and independent-samples t-tests and effect-size analysis. The results showed significant improvements in knowledge, learning motivation, and self-efficacy in the intervention group compared to the control group. The intervention demonstrated a moderate effect on knowledge and large effects on learning motivation and self-efficacy. It was concluded that Virtual Reality-based learning media were effective in enhancing students' understanding of mechanical ventilators.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was a major global health threat driven by irrational antibiotic use, including unnecessary prescribing, inappropriate dosage or duration, and use without proper indication. Community pharmacies served as accessible points of care and played an important role in antibiotic distribution, making them strategic settings for evaluating utilization patterns. This study aimed to describe antibiotic utilization in a community pharmacy using the AWaRe classification and to assess the proportion of Access antibiotics relative to World Health Organisation targets. A retrospective observational study was conducted using prescription data from January to June 2025, with purposive sampling and descriptive analysis. A total of 11,565 antibiotic items were recorded. Cefixime (Watch group) was the most frequently used antibiotic (38.2%), followed by amoxicillin (Access group) at 20.9%. The proportion of Access antibiotics was 45.78%, which was below the recommended minimum target of 60%. These findings indicated that antibiotic use was dominated by Watch-group agents, suggesting an imbalance in prescribing patterns and a potential risk for increasing AMR.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the still-limited monitoring of student health, which is carried out manually, not systematically documented, and not yet supported by contextual, user-friendly digital media. This study aimed to develop an application that is valid, practical, and user-friendly to help students monitor their health conditions independently. The method used was Research and Development, using the ADDIE model through the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation, while also applying a mixed-methods approach. The research subjects included needs analysis informants, three expert validators, and students involved in one-to-one testing, small-group testing, and field testing. The results showed that the application obtained an average Aiken's V validity score of 0.92, practicality levels of 84.67% in the small-group test and 88.40% in the field test, and a System Usability Scale score of 81.3. The average pretest score of 62.80 increased to 81.47 in the posttest, with a significant difference. Therefore, the developed application shows potential as a contextual, adaptive, and feasible medium for health recording, education, and early detection of student health, and warrants further development.

Abstract

This study aims to examine maternal and environmental factors associated with low birth weight through a systematic literature review. The review followed the PRISMA framework to ensure a structured, transparent process for identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. Literature searching was conducted using the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) for studies published between 2022 and 2026. A total of 320 records were identified; after duplicate removal, 308 were screened, and 10 studies were included in the final synthesis. The findings indicate that low birth weight is a multidimensional outcome shaped by the interaction of maternal and environmental determinants. The most consistent maternal factors include preeclampsia, anemia, poor nutritional status, inadequate micronutrient intake, adverse reproductive history, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Environmental determinants such as air pollution, household smoke exposure, solid fuel use, and poor housing conditions were also strongly associated with low birth weight. This review highlights that isolated factors cannot explain low birth weight; rather, it arises from cumulative biological and environmental vulnerabilities. The study contributes to strengthening integrative understanding and supports the development of comprehensive maternal and environmental health interventions.

Abstract

This study examined trends in measles cases, immunization coverage, and surveillance performance in Mataram City, Indonesia, during 2023–2024. A descriptive-analytic design was applied using secondary data obtained from the Mataram City Health Office, the Ministry of Health, and the World Health Organization. Data on measles cases, booster immunization coverage, and population density were analyzed descriptively and using Spearman correlation. The results showed that measles cases decreased from 98 cases in 2023 to 50 cases in 2024, accompanied by an increase in booster immunization coverage from 53.8% to 62.1%. However, statistical analysis indicated no significant correlation between booster immunization coverage and measles cases (r = –0.133; p = 0.556) or between population density and measles cases (r = –0.253; p = 0.257). These findings suggest that factors beyond immunization coverage, such as surveillance quality and population mobility, may influence measles transmission. Strengthening immunization coverage to reach ≥95% and improving surveillance systems are essential strategies to enhance public health resilience.
