Abstract

Background: The response phase is crucial in a disaster, nurses at community health center play a strategic role in disaster response phase preparedness; however, the factors that influence the level of nurse preparedness in the disaster response phase have not been widely studied. Purpose: To identify factors contributing to nurse preparedness during the disaster response phase. Method: A quantitative multicenter study using a cross-sectional design was conducted involving nurses from 27 primary healthcare centers located in disaster-prone regions. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 225 nurses, with data collection taking place between February and March 2023. Instruments included a demographic questionnaire and the Emergency Preparedness Information Questionnaire (EPIQ). Data were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. Results: A total of 50.9% of nurses had low preparedness. Factors associated with preparedness in the response phase include education level (p=0.002), years of service (p=0.049), training (p=0.001), and disaster experience of serving in disaster (p=0.001). The logistic regression analysis identified the dominant factors in increasing preparedness, which include disaster training (20.6%), professional education level (5.16%), 11-20 years of service (1.39%), male gender (1.34%), and experience of serving in disaster (1.16%). Nurses who have received disaster training have higher preparedness compared to those with BTCLS and BLS training. This predictor is identified to improve response phase preparedness. Nurses can be given disaster training to improve preparedness. Conclusion: The average level of nurse preparedness was categorized as low. The most dominant factor influencing nurse preparedness in the natural disaster response phase was disaster training.

Abstract

Background: Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the coexistence of intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies. While its incidence in natural conception is estimated at 1 in 30,000 cases, the risk increases considerably with the use of assisted reproductive technologies. Because its symptoms often mimic those of ectopic pregnancy, HP remains a diagnostic challenge, particularly in patients without recognized risk factors. Purpose: To highlight the silent yet serious threat of spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy in early gestation, illustrated by a case of tubal rupture in a natural conception. Method: A descriptive case report of a 43-year-old multigravida woman who presented at 7 weeks of gestation with sudden lower abdominal pain and clinical features of intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Diagnostic evaluation included ultrasonography and laboratory investigations, followed by an emergency laparotomy. Results: Ultrasound imaging revealed two intrauterine gestational sacs along with free fluid in the pouch of Douglas. Laboratory tests indicated anemia (hemoglobin 8.1 g/dL) and marked leukocytosis. Emergency laparotomy confirmed a ruptured right fallopian tube with massive intraperitoneal bleeding. The patient underwent right salpingectomy, left tubectomy, and intrauterine curettage at her request. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful, and she was discharged in good condition after two days. Conclusion: This case underscores the diagnostic difficulty of heterotopic pregnancy in spontaneous conceptions. The presence of an intrauterine pregnancy may create false reassurance, masking a concurrent ectopic gestation. Clinicians should consider HP in the differential diagnosis of any reproductive-aged woman with abdominal pain, regardless of conception method, to prevent life-threatening maternal complications.

Abstract

Background: The informal sector, characterized by its lack of structure, formality, and legal recognition, often receives inadequate attention regarding occupational health. In Indonesia, over 60% of the population resides in coastal areas, with the majority working as fishermen. Due to the inherently high-risk nature of fishing at sea, fishermen are frequently exposed to unpredictable ocean conditions, making them susceptible to various work-related health issues, including musculoskeletal disorders, dermatitis, keratopathy, and barotrauma. Purpose: To investigate the factors linked to the occurrence of occupational diseases among fishermen. Method: A descriptive correlational, specially focusing on cross-sectional method. The study took place in December 2024 in Kupang City. The independent variable was knowledge, duration of work, unsafe behaviors, and unsafe working conditions. The dependent variable included the incidence of occupational diseases. Using random sampling and Lameshow formula 89 respondents were selected who meet specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis proceeded with a univariate test to determine the frequency distribution of respondent’s characteristics, followed by bivariate analysis using chi-square test. Results: The study found significant associations between length of work and occupational diseases (p = 0.011), and between behavior and occupational diseases (p = 0.001), while knowledge and environmental conditions showed no significant effects. Conclusion: Occupational diseases result from multifactorial determinants, including exposure duration, behavior, and environmental conditions. For informal workers such as fishermen, government involvement in risk management and safety governance is essential. Preventive measures should focus on skill development, occupational safety culture, proper use of protective equipment, health education, and access to health insurance.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) refers to breast cancer identified either during gestation or within the first year following childbirth. Managing PABC presents distinct clinical complexities, as it necessitates a careful balance between effective maternal therapy and ensuring fetal safety. Purpose: This case series seeks to detail the clinical characteristics, diagnostic procedures, and treatment approaches utilized in managing PABC. Method: We report multiple cases involving pregnant women diagnosed with breast cancer at different stages of gestation. Information was gathered regarding clinical presentation, gestational age at diagnosis, types and timing of treatment interventions (such as surgery and chemotherapy), as well as maternal and fetal outcomes. Results: The cases underscore the critical role of early detection and a multidisciplinary team approach. Treatment strategies were tailored according to gestational age and cancer stage. Chemotherapy was generally administered without significant complications during the second and third trimesters, and surgical procedures were planned to prioritize both maternal and fetal health. Conclusion: Effective management of PABC demands close coordination between oncology and obstetrics teams. With appropriate planning and individualized care, it is possible to treat breast cancer during pregnancy without substantially endangering fetal health.

Abstract

Background: The effective allocation of village funds has become a strategic approach to addressing stunting in rural communities. By investing in health, nutrition, sanitation, and educational programs, villages aim to improve maternal and child health outcomes, increase community awareness, and reduce the prevalence of stunting among children. Purpose: To analyze the implementation of village fund allocation in reducing stunting rates Method: A descriptive qualitative approach, specifically focusing on exploratory study. The study took place December 2024 - January 2025, in Peudada District, Aceh. Using total sampling 2 participants were selected, contributor informant inquired head of the stunting locus and head stunting reduction acceleration team. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interviews. The data were analysed using thematic analysis technique. Results: Village Funds have been instrumental in reducing stunting through programs targeting sanitation, supplementary food (PMT), Posyandu activities, direct cash assistance (BLT), and early childhood education (PAUD). Monitoring and evaluation by cadres and village midwives through home visits have improved children’s nutritional status and access to sanitation. Village cadres and officials, supported by the Stunting Committee (Komting), coordinate planning, budgeting, supervision, and community collaboration. Despite challenges such as budget constraints, uneven facility access, and low participation, strengthening coordination, diversifying programs, and applying innovative education methods are essential for sustainable stunting reduction, emphasizing the synergy between health and education sectors. Conclusion: Village officials contribute through budget planning, supervising cadres, and forming stunting committees to increase participation. Programs such as supplementary feeding, sanitation improvements, house rehabilitation, and PAUD have effectively reduced stunting and improved community quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Refractory hyperglycemia in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) presents a critical challenge in geriatric patients due to multifactorial physiological and clinical complexities. Early recognition and integrated management are essential, with critical care nursing as a pivotal component. Purpose: This case report aims to describe and analyze the multifactorial causes of refractory hyperglycemia in a geriatric DKA patient, highlighting the importance of early detection, comprehensive correction, and collaborative nursing roles. Method: A descriptive analytic approach was employed to examine the clinical course of a 75-year-old woman with DKA and persistent hyperglycemia. Data were collected from direct patient observation, systematic physical examinations, laboratory assessments, imaging, and multidisciplinary clinical records. Daily therapeutic interventions and patient responses were meticulously documented. Results: Persistent hyperglycemia resulted from several interacting factors: the impact of glucocorticoids on glycemic control, effects of severe pulmonary infection on insulin resistance, the role of electrolyte disturbances in exacerbating hyperglycemia, the relationship between heart failure and diuretic use, the impact of malnutrition and sarcopenia on insulin resistance, and the need for an integrated therapeutic approach. Each factor contributed to increased insulin resistance and complicated glycemic control. Conclusion: Optimal management of refractory hyperglycemia in elderly DKA patients requires early identification and simultaneous correction of underlying factors, supported by intensive critical care nursing and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Abstract

Background: The School-Age Children Immunization Month program is an annual national vaccination initiative targeting school-aged children in Indonesia. However, a decline in vaccination coverage has been observed in recent years, influenced by both internal and external factors. Key contributing variables include maternal knowledge, maternal attitudes, cultural beliefs, and the roles of healthcare workers, teachers, and parents. Purpose: To analyze the factors most significantly associated with low vaccination coverage among elementary school children. Method: A quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed. A total of 142 respondents—mothers of elementary school students in grades 1, 2, and 5—were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Statistical analyses included univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression. Results: Five variables met the criteria for inclusion in the multivariate analysis (p < .25): maternal knowledge, maternal attitude, cultural beliefs, the role of healthcare workers, and the role of parents. Logistic regression analysis identified the parental role as the most significant predictor of vaccination coverage (p = .000; OR = 2.234), indicating that children were more than twice as likely to be vaccinated when parental involvement was strong. Conclusion: Parental involvement emerged as the most influential factor affecting vaccination uptake among elementary school children. Strengthening parental support and engagement is crucial to improving vaccination coverage in school-based programs.
