Abstract

The shift to online learning in nursing education presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly concerning student psychological well-being. Optimism plays a crucial role in coping with academic stress, enhancing resilience, and increasing academic satisfaction. Factors such as social support, coping strategies, and time management also influence student psychological well-being. This study aimed to determine the relationship between optimism and the psychological well-being of nursing students in online learning. This study utilized a quantitative correlational design. Stratified random sampling was used to select a sample of 400 students. The study adapted the Psychological Well-being Scale (PWBS) and the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) as instruments. Univariate analysis involved frequency and percentage distributions, while bivariate analysis used the Chi-Square test. Results: The study's findings showed a significant value (p<0.001). Among the variables, most students from the Faculty of Nursing at Universitas Padjadjaran exhibited low optimism (53.0%) and low psychological well-being (51.0%). There is a significant relationship between optimism and psychological well-being among nursing students during online learning (p<0.001). These findings highlight the need to evaluate the online learning process and engage with students to identify the reasons behind their low levels of optimism and psychological well-being.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a major hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that contributes significantly to maternal and perinatal morbidity. This study aimed to examine the association between maternal micronutrient intake, particularly vitamin C and vitamin D, and the occurrence of preeclampsia among pregnant women. A case–control study was conducted in Padang, West Sumatra, involving 66 pregnant women in the third trimester: 33 with preeclampsia and 33 without. Micronutrient intake was assessed using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test and logistic regression analysis. The results showed significant differences in vitamin C and vitamin D intake between the two groups. Multivariate analysis indicated that vitamin D intake and maternal education level were significantly associated with preeclampsia, whereas vitamin C intake was not significantly associated after adjustment for confounding variables. These findings suggest that adequate vitamin D intake during pregnancy may help reduce the risk of preeclampsia. Nutritional interventions during antenatal care may help improve maternal health outcomes.

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) involves impaired ovulation and hyperandrogenism, elevating insulin and TNF-α levels, and disrupting insulin receptor substrate (IRS) formation. Zingiber officinale var. rubrum has been shown to suppress TNF-α, thereby enhancing IRS function and follicular development. This study evaluated whether red ginger extract attenuates TNF-α, upregulates IRS, and improves follicular development as a PCOS prevention strategy. Using a randomised post-test-only control group design, thirty Rattus norvegicus were divided into five groups (K−, K+, P1, P2, P3) and administered ethanol extract at 200, 400, or 800 mg/kg BW alongside testosterone propionate (100 mg/kg BW, i.p.) for 21 days. Tissues were assessed via HE staining and immunohistochemistry; LC-MS characterised extract composition. Ethical approval was obtained (No. 2.KEH.59.04.2025, Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University). Red ginger extract significantly reduced TNF-α, increased IRS expression, and promoted follicular development. One-way ANOVA showed significant differences across all parameters (p = 0.001), with P1, P2, and P3 each differing significantly from the positive control.

Abstract

Dyslipidemia is a major cardiovascular risk factor closely associated with chronic inflammation. Snakehead fish (Channa striata) contains omega-3 fatty acids and bioactive peptides with lipid-modulating and anti-inflammatory potential. However, its dose-dependent effects on lipid and inflammatory parameters remain unclear. This study investigated the dose-dependent effects of C. striata oil extract on lipid profile and inflammatory markers in diet-induced dyslipidemic rats. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomized into four groups (n=6): normal control, dyslipidemia model, low-dose extract (150 mg/kgBW), and high-dose extract (250 mg/kgBW). Dyslipidemia was induced using quail egg yolk (4 mL/kgBW/day) for 14 days, while treatments were administered orally. Serum LDL, HDL, TNF-α, and IL-10 levels were analyzed using spectrophotometry and ELISA. Dyslipidemia induction significantly increased LDL and TNF-α and reduced HDL and IL-10 (p<0.001). Both extract doses improved all parameters, with the 250 mg/kgBW dose producing the strongest effects: LDL reduction of 55%, HDL restoration to 76% of control, TNF-α reduction of 64%, and IL-10 elevation to 74% of control. These findings demonstrate clear dose-response effects. C. striata oil extract exhibits significant anti-dyslipidemic and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting its potential as a natural adjunct therapy for dyslipidemia management.

Abstract

Although thirst severely impacts hemodialysis patients, a validated Indonesian measurement tool remained unavailable, limiting standardized clinical assessments. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian Dialysis Thirst Inventory (DTI) using Rasch analysis. A cross-sectional design involved 145 hemodialysis patients from two Indonesian centers. Following a cross-cultural translation protocol, psychometric properties were analyzed using Winsteps software. The results confirmed strong unidimensionality, with 77.8% of variance explained by Rasch measures. All seven items fit the model well, showing a mean outfit mean-square of 0.98. The instrument demonstrated excellent reliability (person = 0.92, item = 0.99) and a person separation index of 3.42, which discriminated four distinct levels of thirst severity. Furthermore, differential item functioning analysis indicated minimal gender bias. In conclusion, the Indonesian DTI proved to be a highly valid and reliable instrument. Its implementation provided a standardized method for comprehensively assessing thirst, yielding crucial data to guide targeted fluid management interventions and prevent interdialytic weight gain in hemodialysis care.

Abstract

Background: Depression among older adults remains a significant public health concern in Bali, with prevalence reaching 5.1% in 2018, and particularly high rates in Klungkung Regency (51.2% in men and 48.3% in women). Despite the strong cultural roots of Tri Hita Karana in Balinese society, its potential as a proactive coping mechanism to reduce depression has not been systematically investigated. Methods: This quantitative study used a cross-sectional descriptive design and recruited 246 older adults through random sampling from Posyandu for older adults in Klungkung Regency. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Pearson correlation) analysis at a 95% confidence level. Results: Most respondents were female (54.9%), had an elementary school education (46.7%), worked as farmers (28.5%), and were married (62.2%). The majority demonstrated good overall Tri Hita Karana-based proactive coping (65.4%), while 78.9% showed no depression, and 21.1% had moderate depression. Parhyangan, Palemahan, and Pawongan coping were all significantly and negatively associated with depression (r = −0.300, −0.249, −0.230, respectively; all p < 0.05), with Parhyangan showing the strongest relationship. Overall, Tri Hita Karana-based proactive coping was significantly associated with lower depression scores (r = −0.291; p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that Balinese culture-based proactive coping grounded in Tri Hita Karana meaningfully reduces depression risk among older adults, supporting the development of culturally tailored intervention modules for older-adult care in Bali.

Abstract

This study examined the implementation of Hazard Observation Cards (HOC) aboard a commercial vessel operating in Indonesian waters. The results showed that 158 unsafe actions and unsafe conditions were identified through 87 completed HOC forms during a three-month observation period. This mixed-methods case study involved 15 crew members from March to May 2024. Data were collected through HOC documentation, field observations, interviews, and safety records. Quantitative analysis used descriptive statistics and Cochran-Armitage trend tests, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Unsafe conditions (57.0%) were more frequent than unsafe actions (43.0%). Violations decreased significantly from 113 in March to 82 in May (Z = -2.84; p = 0.004). The most common unsafe practices involved the failure to use personal protective equipment and housekeeping deficiencies. Safe practices referred to compliance with maritime safety procedures, including the use of PPE, adherence to procedures, and hazard control measures. Interviews indicated that visible management responses increased crew safety awareness and participation. The findings suggest that HOC can function as a feasible participatory safety monitoring tool for small-crew maritime operations and may contribute to improved occupational safety performance.

Abstract

The increase in obesity in children and adolescents is parallel to that of adults. Obesity is caused by an imbalance between the amount of energy taken in and that needed by the body for various biological functions such as physical growth, development, activity, and health maintenance. If this situation continues (positive energy balance) for a long time, the impact is obesity. Objective: This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between junk food consumption habits and obesity on the results of glucose level examination. Method: The sampling technique in this study using purposive sampling method, and the sample used was many as 72 samples.  Result and Discussion: The results of the study from 72 samples showed that the number of students who consumed junk food was 53% and the number of obese students was 47%. There were 13% of elementary school students with junk food consumption habits and glucose positive and the rest 87% were glucose negative. There were 11.8% of students who were obese and glucose positive, then 88.2% were glucose negative.  For the chi-square analysis results, the p value was 1.000, so p > 0.05 Conclusion: Based on the results of a study of 72 samples, there was no relationship between junk food consumption habits and obesity with the results of glucose level checks in elementary school students in Bengkulu City in 2024.

Abstract

Labor pain during the first stage of childbirth is a complex physiological and psychological experience that may negatively affect maternal outcomes if not properly managed. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of combined counter-pressure and endorphin massage techniques in reducing labor pain among childbearing women in Tangerang City. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control-group design was used with 30 parturient women, divided into an intervention group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). Pain intensity was measured using the McGill Pain Questionnaire before and after treatment. The intervention group received counter-pressure and endorphin massage during uterine contractions, while the control group received standard care. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney U test (p < 0.05). Results showed a significant reduction in pain intensity in the intervention group (p = 0.000), while no significant change was found in the control group (p = 1.000). Pain scores in the intervention group decreased from severe to moderate levels. In conclusion, combined counter-pressure and endorphin massage techniques are effective, safe, and low-cost non-pharmacological interventions for reducing first-stage labor pain. They may improve maternal comfort, especially in low-resource settings.

Abstract

Infants aged 6–24 months are vulnerable to nutritional problems due to the transition from breastfeeding to complementary feeding. Socioeconomic conditions and nutritional fulfillment practices may influence infant nutritional status during this critical growth period. To analyze the relationship between socioeconomic status and nutritional fulfillment practices and the nutritional status of infants aged 6–24 months during the first 1,000 days of life (HPK). A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in Taban Village, Jambe Subdistrict, Tangerang Regency, from June to July 2021. The study sample consisted of 127 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test and logistic regression. Socioeconomic status was associated with infant nutritional status (p=0.014), as were nutritional fulfillment practices (p=0.050). Multivariate analysis identified socioeconomic status (OR=6.31; 95% CI: 1.371–29.041) and nutritional fulfillment practices (OR=5.842; 95% CI: 1.239–27.548) as important factors associated with infant nutritional status. Socioeconomic status and nutritional fulfillment practices were associated with infants' nutritional status aged 6–24 months. Preventing nutritional problems among infants should involve strengthening families' socioeconomic conditions and promoting balanced complementary feeding practices during early childhood.
