Abstract

Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain without any organic abnormalities, commonly experienced by adolescent girls, which affects daily activities and quality of life. Non-pharmacological treatments such as warm compresses and lavender aromatherapy are considered effective and safe alternatives. This study aimed to analyze the difference in effectiveness between the application of warm compresses and lavender aromatherapy in reducing dysmenorrhea pain among female students at SMA Ummu Rahmah Patumbak. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest two-group comparison approach. A total of 20 respondents were divided into two treatment groups. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed a significant reduction in pain in both groups (p<0.05), with the average pain score in the warm compress group decreasing from 5.50 to 0.55, and in the lavender aromatherapy group from 5.30 to 0.65. In conclusion, both interventions effectively reduced dysmenorrhea pain, with warm compresses showing greater effectiveness.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a very serious danger because it can interfere with child development, cause decreased immunity, decline in academic ability, and reduce fitness and productivity. Anemia in pregnant women and adolescent girls is caused by various things, including less than optimal consumption of iron tablets, food intake, and the presence of comorbidities. Objective: This study aims to obtain information about the factors that cause the behavior of using iron tablets in adolescent girls at the Youth Posyandu in Semanggi Village, Surakarta City. This study aims to obtain an overview of the extent to which adolescent girls know information about consuming iron tablets, and what their attitudes are towards their use. Method: This study explores the factors that influence adolescent girls in using iron tablets at the Youth Posyandu in Semanggi Village, Surakarta City. The variables studied are the level of knowledge and attitudes. This type of study is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through questionnaires given to adolescent girls who have experienced menstruation. The sampling technique used total sampling with a total of 25 respondents. Data analysis was carried out using the chi-square test to determine significant relationships. Research Results: There is a positive relationship between the level of knowledge (p-value = 0.028) and attitude (p-value = 0.035) with the consumption of iron tablets. Conclusion: Knowledge related to anemia and iron tablets as well as attitudes are factors that influence adolescent girls in consuming iron tablets. Implications: The results of this study indicate the need to continuously improve health education through counseling activities at the Youth Posyandu, schools, and social media. These efforts can strengthen understanding and form a positive attitude of adolescent girls towards the consumption of iron tablets.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global health threat, with severe impacts in developing countries due to weak health systems, poor regulation, and low sanitation standards. This review summarizes 12 studies from Asia and Africa on AMR’s clinical, social, economic, and environmental effects. AMR leads to first-line treatment failure, prolonged hospital stays, increased morbidity and mortality, and necessitates costly, toxic last-line antibiotics. Economic consequences include higher treatment costs, productivity loss, and poverty risk from high medical expenses. Environmental contributors such as contamination from medical waste, livestock, and the food industry accelerate resistant bacteria spread. Effective control requires integrated strategies, including Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASP) based on AWaRe classification, laboratory strengthening, One Health approaches, public education, strict antibiotic distribution regulations, and cross-sector monitoring. These measures aim to curb AMR progression and reduce health burdens in developing nations. The rise of AMR further complicates healthcare delivery in countries already struggling with limited resources and underfunded healthcare systems. The growing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) organisms threatens the effectiveness of current medical treatments, including those for common infections such as tuberculosis and pneumonia. Infections that were once easily treatable with antibiotics are now leading to longer and more complicated hospitalizations, greater healthcare costs, and higher death rates. Additionally, the lack of access to newer, more effective antibiotics and diagnostic tools makes managing resistant infections in these regions even more challenging. Environmental factors, particularly contamination from healthcare facilities and agricultural practices, play a key role in the proliferation of resistant pathogens.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance, decreased insulin secretion, or a combination of both. The burden of this disease continues to increase globally, making effective, safe, and affordable management an urgent need. One widely used therapeutic strategy is the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of metformin and glimepiride. This combination is considered beneficial because the two drugs complement each other in their mechanisms of action: metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and increases insulin sensitivity, while glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. Furthermore, the use of FDC can simplify the treatment regimen, thereby improving patient adherence to long-term therapy. Article searches were conducted through Google Scholar and PubMed with the keywords "((Metformin) AND (Glimepiride)) AND (T2DM) AND (Fixed Dose Combination)", covering publications from 2020–2025 in both English and Indonesian. Of the total articles found, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria for further analysis. The review results showed that the use of metformin–glimepiride FDC was able to reduce HbA1c levels between 0.33% and 2.45%, reducing fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels by 32–65 mg/dL, and postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) by 38–103 mg/dL. Most studies reported achieving glycemic targets as recommended by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The most commonly reported side effects were mild hypoglycemia with an incidence of 4.8%–34.5% and gastrointestinal disturbances, but the overall safety profile of this combination was still acceptable. In terms of cost, FDC was considered more economical than the use of separate single drugs. Thus, metformin–glimepiride FDC was proven to be effective, relatively safe, and affordable in glycemic control in T2DM patients, especially in countries with limited resources. These findings support its use as a primary choice in clinical practice.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically review the effectiveness of occupational health and safety (OHS) programs in improving patient safety in hospitals. The background of this study highlights the importance of occupational safety as an integral part of healthcare quality, where failures in OHS management may not only affect healthcare workers but also directly impact patient outcomes. The method used was a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA approach, covering articles published between 2020 and 2025. A total of 28 articles were analyzed after a rigorous screening process from 412 initial records across multiple databases. The findings reveal that OHS programs contribute to patient safety through structured training and education, transparent risk management and incident reporting systems, and the establishment of a strong safety culture. These efforts have been shown to reduce adverse events, hospital-acquired infections, and medical errors. The implications of this review highlight that strengthening OHS programs should be considered a strategic component in hospital management to achieve sustainable improvements in patient safety and quality of care.

Abstract

This narrative review aims to explore the transformation of occupational health and safety (OHS) in the era of healthcare digitalization. The background highlights the increasing complexity of hospital services and the urgent need to integrate digital innovation into OHS programs. The method used was a narrative review based on 32 articles published between 2020 and 2025, selected through systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The findings indicate that digital health technologies, including wearable devices, electronic incident reporting systems, and mobile applications for infection control, significantly enhance the effectiveness of OHS by improving compliance, strengthening safety culture, and reducing hospital-acquired infections and adverse events. Nevertheless, challenges remain regarding infrastructure readiness, digital literacy, and data security. The implications of this study suggest that hospitals and policymakers should consider digital-based OHS strategies as an integral part of patient safety improvement and quality health services.
