Abstract

This study examined the role of nurse service quality and emotional care in improving patient trust and recovery outcomes in healthcare facilities in Bandung. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used, involving patients who had received nursing services. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings showed that nurse service quality and emotional care had significant positive effects on patient trust. Patient trust also significantly influenced recovery outcomes and served as a mediating variable between service quality and emotional care. Service quality demonstrated a stronger effect on trust, while emotional care played an important role in strengthening the nurse–patient relationship. The results indicated that recovery outcomes were influenced not only by technical aspects of care but also by emotional and relational factors. This study concluded that integrating service quality and emotional care through a trust-based approach could more effectively enhance patient recovery and support the development of patient-centered healthcare services.

Abstract

Pregnancy-related discomfort may affect maternal physical and psychological well-being and reduce quality of life during pregnancy. Antenatal yoga has been recognized as a complementary non-pharmacological intervention to improve maternal comfort; however, evidence regarding classroom-based antenatal yoga programs in Indonesian settings remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a classroom-based antenatal yoga program in reducing discomfort scores during pregnancy. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group design was conducted with 44 pregnant women in Tangerang City, Indonesia. Participants were assigned to an intervention group (n = 22) and a control group (n = 22). The intervention group received classroom-based antenatal yoga twice weekly for 3 months, comprising 15-minute sessions including breathing exercises, stretching, pregnancy-adapted yoga postures, and relaxation techniques, while the control group received routine antenatal care. Pregnancy discomfort scores in the intervention group decreased from 11.00 ± 6.37 to 6.00 ± 3.59, whereas the control group showed minimal change from 9.59 ± 4.77 to 9.64 ± 4.79. Post-intervention scores were significantly lower in the intervention group (p = 0.007). Classroom-based antenatal yoga effectively reduced pregnancy discomfort and may be integrated into antenatal care services.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet blood pressure control remains suboptimal, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Digital health interventions (DHI) have been implemented to support hypertension management, although their effectiveness varies. This systematic review evaluated the effects of DHI on clinical and behavioral outcomes in adults with hypertension and identified the most effective type of intervention. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2015 and 2025 were searched in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Study selection followed the PRISMA guideline, and methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool. Fifteen RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Mobile-based interventions were the most frequently studied (8/15; 53.3%) and showed the most consistent benefits, including improved blood pressure control (80%), reductions in systolic (85.7%) and diastolic blood pressure (62.5%), and improvements in medication adherence (100%), self-care behavior (75%), and quality of life (100%). Telephone-based interventions (3/15; 20%) improved target blood pressure attainment and patient satisfaction, whereas web-based interventions (4/15; 26.7%) were generally less effective unless combined with telemedicine or clinical support. Overall, mobile-based DHI demonstrated the most consistent improvements in hypertension outcomes.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental period characterized by rapid biological, psychological, and social changes that may increase vulnerability to reproductive health problems and psychological distress. This study examined the relationships among nutritional status, reproductive health risks, and psychological distress among adolescents. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 198 senior high school students. Nutritional status was assessed using BMI-for-age anthropometric measurements, while reproductive health risk and psychological distress were measured using structured questionnaires, including the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-10 (K10). Data were analyzed using univariate analysis, the Chi-Square test, Spearman's rank correlation, and linear regression. Most respondents had normal nutritional status (65.7%), moderate reproductive health risk (87.4%), and severe psychological distress (77.3%). Nutritional status was not significantly associated with reproductive health risk (p = 0.9288) or psychological distress (p = 0.7764). In contrast, reproductive health risk showed a significant association with psychological distress (p < 0.001; ρ = 0.3939). Multivariate analysis confirmed reproductive health risk as a significant predictor of psychological distress (β = 0.829; p < 0.001), explaining 15.4% of the variance. These findings highlight the importance of integrating reproductive health screening, counseling, and mental health support into school-based adolescent health programs.

Abstract

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability, resulting in patients’ dependence on informal caregivers and potentially causing physical, psychological, and social burdens. This study aimed to determine the effect of educational interventions on caregiver burden in Ngemplak District, Boyolali, and Colomadu District, Karanganyar. This quantitative study used a pretest-posttest design and a paired-samples t-test. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test indicated that the data were normally distributed. The sample consisted of 16 caregivers who met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that the mean caregiver burden score increased from 28.00 ± 1.862 at pre-test to 33.13 ± 2.825 at post-test, with a statistically significant difference (t = -5.045; p = 0.000). Qualitative interview findings revealed that several caregivers experienced a reduction in heavy burden levels after the intervention, accompanied by decreased physical fatigue, improved ease in caregiving activities, and greater patient independence. However, economic difficulties and high patient dependency remained major challenges for some caregivers. Overall, the educational intervention demonstrated a significant influence on caregiver burden both quantitatively and qualitatively. Education is therefore recommended as an ongoing community-based intervention to support caregivers of stroke patients.

Abstract

Urban populations face an increasing burden of mental health problems due to complex interactions between socioeconomic, environmental, and psychosocial factors. This study aimed to assess the burden of mental health conditions, identify associated risk factors, and examine access to mental health services in urban settings. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 450 adult respondents selected using multistage sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires measuring psychological distress, depression, anxiety, social support, stigma, and healthcare access. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including logistic regression, were performed to identify significant predictors. The results showed that 34.7% of respondents experienced psychological distress, 29.3% reported depression symptoms, and 26.9% experienced anxiety. Low social support, high perceived stigma, low income, and unemployment were significantly associated with higher mental health burden. Only 38.2% of individuals with symptoms accessed mental health services, with cost, stigma, and lack of awareness identified as major barriers. This study highlights that mental health in urban populations is influenced not only by risk exposure but also by limitations in access to care. An integrated approach addressing socioeconomic inequalities, psychosocial support, and healthcare accessibility is essential to reduce the mental health burden and improve service utilization in urban communities.

Abstract

The intrauterine device (IUD) is a highly effective long-term contraceptive; however, failure still occurs, often due to limited acceptor involvement in routine self-monitoring. Existing educational approaches tend to focus on information delivery and lack structured, participatory components that support consistent self-monitoring practices. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the TENANG (Find the Thread) method as a participatory educational approach to improve knowledge and the application of IUD string self-monitoring among contraceptive acceptors. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test was used with 336 IUD acceptors in Banjarsari District. The intervention was conducted over three months using structured education and monitoring tools. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge after the intervention (χ² = 325.000; p < 0.001), with 94.9% of respondents attaining a high level of knowledge. In addition, 75.3% of participants applied the TENANG method. Educational level was identified as a significant factor influencing implementation (p = 0.002). The study highlights the novelty of integrating participatory education with structured self-monitoring tools in improving contraceptive-related behavior. The TENANG method demonstrates potential as a practical and scalable approach to strengthen acceptor involvement and enhance the effectiveness of long-term contraceptive use.

Abstract

Breast cancer remains a major public health problem among women in Indonesia, including North Sumatra, where limited health literacy may contribute to delayed diagnosis and low participation in early detection. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of breast cancer health literacy based on the Health Belief Model framework among women in North Sumatra. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 250 women selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring breast cancer health literacy and Health Belief Model constructs, including perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and multivariate logistic regression. The findings showed that most respondents had moderate breast cancer health literacy. All Health Belief Model constructs were significantly associated with health literacy, with self-efficacy identified as the strongest determinant, followed by perceived benefits. Perceived barriers negatively influenced women’s ability to access and apply breast cancer-related information. These findings indicate that breast cancer health literacy is shaped not only by knowledge and education but also by psychosocial perceptions and sociocultural conditions. Strengthening women’s self-efficacy and reducing perceived barriers should be prioritized in culturally sensitive breast cancer education and early detection programs in North Sumatra.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem among children under five years of age in Indonesia, including North Sumatra Province. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and identify the risk factors associated with stunting among children under five years of age in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This research employed an analytical cross-sectional design using secondary data obtained from the Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) and related demographic data. The study population consisted of children aged 0–59 months in North Sumatra. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression analysis with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that the prevalence of stunting among children under five years of age in North Sumatra was 27.8%, indicating that stunting remains a serious public health concern. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between stunting and several factors, including low birth weight, low maternal education, non-exclusive breastfeeding, inadequate sanitation, and low household income (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that low household income was the most dominant risk factor associated with stunting (AOR = 2.67; 95% CI: 1.81–3.94). The study concludes that stunting among children under five years of age in North Sumatra is influenced by multidimensional factors involving socio-economic conditions, maternal characteristics, child feeding practices, and environmental sanitation. Integrated, multisectoral interventions are needed to reduce stunting prevalence and improve children's nutritional status in North Sumatra.

Abstract

Anemia remains a significant public health problem among school-aged children in Indonesia. This study aimed to describe hemoglobin levels and nutritional status among primary school children in a coastal area of North Lombok. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 102 children aged 7–12 years from three elementary schools in Malaka Village, West Nusa Tenggara. Nutritional status was assessed using body mass index-for-age Z-scores, while hemoglobin levels were measured using a portable hemoglobin device. The results showed that 57.9% of children were anemic, including 16.7% with mild anemia and 41.2% with moderate anemia, while most children (72.5%) had a normal nutritional status. No severe anemia cases were identified. These findings suggest that anemia remains common despite predominantly normal anthropometric status among school-aged children in this coastal population.
