Abstract

Background: Although COVID-19 is no longer at its peak, its influence on preventive practices remains relevant, especially for families with school-age children. In children, the incident is not as high as in adults, but is increasing all the same. The preventive behaviour of children is strongly linked to that of the mother. Cognitive reinforcement (perception) is a factor that influences behaviour. In this case, the recognition is divided into four parts: perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers. Purpose: To elucidate the relationship between perception and the behavior of mothers who have school-age children related to COVID-19 prevention. Method: We adopted a cross-sectional design with a sample of 110 mothers who have school-age children (8–11 years) using the consecutive sampling technique. Moreover, we questionnaire to measure the perceptions of these mothers in COVID-19 prevention, the result of a modified ARI-Questionnaire and a questionnaire on Mother's Behavior in Prevention of COVID-19. Data analysis was performed using Spearman Rho'. Results: There was a relationship between the perception and behavior of mothers related to COVID-19 prevention as evidenced by a p = 0.001 with a close relationship (r) of 0.194. Other factors that influenced the behavior of mothers in COVID-19 prevention included the educational level of the mother, and the number of the childrens. Conclusion: Changes in mothers’ behavior is influenced by several factors: perception, number of children, income and highest educational level of the mother, and the gender of the child. COVID-19 prevention will be more optimal if the perception of the mother is good, and the mother has a low perception of barriers.

Abstract

Background: Readmission is an undesirable event influenced by various conditions. While readmission risk factors in pneumonia patients have been widely studied in adults, evidence in children remains limited. Purpose: To identify various risk factors on the rate of hospital readmissions in children with pneumonia. Method: Systematic search following PRISMA guidelines was conducted in PubMed Central, ScienceDirect, Scopus, ProQuest, Wiley, and Google Scholar databases and search engines from inception until September 2025. We used the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist to assess the quality of published studies until they were concluded. Results: Readmission rates in children with pneumonia range from 7% to 16% within 30 to 90 days after hospital discharge. Age risk factors consistently show that younger age (infants to toddlers) significantly increases the risk of childhood pneumonia readmission. Besides that, comorbid conditions and chronic conditions are strong predictors of readmission. Conclusions: Young age and specific chronic comorbid conditions were found to be significant risk factors for hospital readmission among pneumonia patients.

Abstract

Background: Research on pregnancy-related stress has expanded markedly alongside growing recognition of maternal mental health as a key determinant of perinatal outcomes. Evidence shows that stress during pregnancy can lead to lasting physiological and psychological consequences for both mothers and offspring. However, a comprehensive understanding of thematic development and research trajectories in this field remains limited. Purpose: To map the principal thematic domains in pregnancy-related stress research and examine the evolution of research topics, dominant scientific orientations, and methodological trends over time. Method: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on 365 Scopus-indexed articles using SciMAT. Four analytical approaches were applied: performance analysis, keyword evolution analysis, longitudinal analysis, and period-based thematic analysis. The study period (1997–2025) was divided into five intervals to capture temporal dynamics and shifts in thematic networks. Results: Core themes such as risk factors, prenatal exposure delayed effects, and anxiety disorders demonstrated high centrality and density, indicating their foundational role. Emerging themes including paternal care, circadian rhythms, and non-pharmacological therapies reflect a growing multidisciplinary and holistic orientation. Persistent gaps were identified, particularly limited validation of peripartum anxiety measures, underuse of biometric methods, and insufficient attention to culturally responsive interventions. Conclusion: This study maps pregnancy-related stress across five periods, highlighting persistent links to risk factors, prenatal exposure, and long-term outcomes. Core themes include delayed effects and anxiety disorders, with emerging focus on paternal roles, biological rhythms, and sex differences. Findings call for rigorous, longitudinal, cross-cultural research using digital tools and SciMAT insights.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major global health challenge. Effective management requires non pharmacological interventions in addition to medication. Hydrotherapy, a non invasive and affordable water-based therapy, shows promise in improving blood glucose, insulin sensitivity, and vascular function. This review identifies hydrotherapy interventions for type 2 DM and evaluates their clinical impact. Purpose: To analyze how to improve adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in implementing the five pillars of diabetes mellitus management. Method: This integrative reviews the size devidence on hydrotherapy for type 2 DM, guided by two questions: "what forms of hydrotherapy intervention are used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus?" and "What is the impact of hydrotherapy on clinical out comes for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?". The population, intervention, outcome (PIO) frame work was used. A systematic literature search was conducted across major electronic data bases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO host: Medline). Seventeen relevant studies were included after screening. Results: Hydrotherapy interventions include hot water baths/immersions, aquaticexercise, hot/cold compression, and oral water consumption. Aquatic exercise can lower HbA1c, fasting glucose, and insulin levels. Hot baths may reduce poor glycemic control and decrease fasting plasma glucose. The tests revealed animmediate decrease in blood glucose. Oral hydrotherapy improved the ankle brachial index. Hydrotherapy also improved quality of life, physical health and reduced stress. The benefits extend to lipid profiles and obesity , as well as blood flow, vascular function, pain, and mobility. Conclusion: Hydrotherapy is a potential complementary intervention for type 2 DM, offering benefits interms of glycemic control, vascular function, quality of life, and physical symptoms. Its non pharmacological, non invasive, afford able, and safe nature make sit a viable nursing option, especially in resource-limited are as. While nurses are crucial in its implementation, current studies have limitations interms of methodology, standardization, and long-term data. Further robust research is needed for widerad option.

Abstract

Background: Non-hemorrhagic stroke is a major cause of long-term disability, often resulting in motor impairment, reduced muscle strength, limited range of motion, and decreased independence in activities of daily living. Consistent and accessible rehabilitation strategies are therefore needed, especially during the transition from hospital to home care. Video-guided range of motion has emerged as a nursing-led approach to support home-based rehabilitation. Purpose: To describe the application of Evidence-Based Nursing through video-guided range of motion as an independent nursing intervention to improve functional recovery in patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke. Method: An Evidence-Based Nursing approach was conducted using the PICO framework. Literature searching was performed through PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. A total of nine relevant studies were critically appraised, including randomized controlled trials, feasibility studies, and comparative studies related to video-guided range of motion interventions in patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke. Results: The evidence indicated that video-guided range of motion improved exercise adherence, motor function, mobility, balance, and functional independence. Improvements were reported using validated outcome measures, including the Berg Balance Scale, Motor Functional Scores, and the Modified Barthel Index. Video-based range of motion showed effectiveness comparable to conventional face-to-face rehabilitation without increasing adverse events. Conclusion: Video-guided range of motion is a feasible and effective Evidence-Based Nursing intervention to support functional recovery and strengthen nursing practice in patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke, particularly in community and home-care settings.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic malnutrition condition that reflects the cumulative effects of inadequate nutritional intake over time. Feeding practices are among the modifiable factors associated with stunting. Although coastal areas have abundant potential sources of marine animal protein, the prevalence of stunting remains a persistent public health problem. Purpose: To explore mothers’ experiences in feeding practices among toddlers with stunting in coastal areas. Method: A qualitative design with a descriptive phenomenological approach. The participants were 17 mothers of stunted toddlers living in the coastal area of Tarakan City. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and direct observation, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. Data trustworthiness was ensured through source triangulation and member checking with participants. Results: Four main themes emerged from the analysis: (1) the coastal food ecosystem: between marine potential and structural constraints; (2) dietary transition: the dominance of instant foods and snacking culture; (3) maternal dilemma: psychological burden and resilience in feeding practices; and (4) socio-cultural influences and support systems in feeding practices. Conclusion: Feeding practices among stunted toddlers are influenced by economic constraints, food access, and maternal capacity. Community-based interventions should strengthen maternal support and practical nutrition education.

Abstract

Background: Patient safety` culture in Indonesia is regulated through ministerial policies emphasizing leadership, teamwork, and staff support. Despite initiatives such as HSOPSC and SAQ, implementation remains partial, with strengths in leadership and teamwork but weaknesses in incident reporting and communication. Leadership, knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and communication significantly influence safety culture outcomes. Purpose: To analyze the dominant factors related to patient safety culture. Method: Correlation research design with cross-sectional and analysis approaches was conducted at Batang Hari Hospital from February – March 2025. A simple random sampling technique was applied, yielding a final sample of 99 respondents. Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test with a 95% confidence level, where p-values below 0.05 indicated statistical significance. Multivariate analysis was subsequently performed through binary logistic regression with a stepwise approach Results: Leadership, knowledge, attitude, motivation, and communication in relation to patient safety culture yielded p-values less than 0.05. The dominant factors in patient safety implementation culture are leadership (p=0.045), knowledge (p=0.000), and communication (p=0.017). Conclusion: There is a relationship between leadership, knowledge, attitude, motivation, communication and patient safety culture. Knowledge emerges as the most dominant factors in the implementation of patient safety culture.

Abstract

Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common problem in the medical, psychological, and even educational fields. ADHD is the third most common mental illness after depression and anxiety disorders. Indonesia has a population of 82 million children, with one in five children and adolescents under 18 experiencing mental health problems, including ADHD. Therefore, it is important to develop positive stimulation media for children with ADHD. Purpose: To develop and test the effectiveness of positive stimulation media that is easy to use while introducing Indonesian culture to attract the interest of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Method: This research uses a mixed method exploratory research that combines quantitative and qualitative research approaches. 3D Pop Up Book media and culturally based educational animated films are packaged according to the child's age category with attractive colors and storylines with typical Indonesian characters complete with accents and batik. So that children will be able to focus more and stimulate their brain function. Results: This research has successfully developed 3D Pop Up Book media and culturally based educational animated films designed to support positive stimulation for children with ADHD. The development process began with a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with psychologists, pediatricians, health promotion experts, animators, teachers, and parents of children with ADHD, which generated input regarding media needs, visual design, and appropriate cultural content. The FGD results emphasized the importance of media that is engaging, easy to understand, and able to channel children's energy through visual and motor activities. Testing on children with ADHD showed significant changes in distractible behavior. In the pretest, 33.3% of children were in the low category, 40% in the medium category, and 26.7% in the high category. After the intervention, the proportion increased in the low category (53.3%) and decreased in the high category (16.7%). Analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a p-value of 0.049, indicating a significant difference before and after the intervention. Conclusion: These findings indicate that this culture-based media is not only innovative but also effective in reducing distractible behavior in children with ADHD.
