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.

Abstract

Background: Patient safety is a fundamental component of healthcare, aimed at delivering care that is effective, efficient, and free from harm. With the increasing complexity of medical procedures and treatments, prioritizing patient safety is essential to minimize errors and adverse outcomes. Such efforts are not only vital for enhancing patient health but also for fostering public trust in healthcare services. Purpose: To design a training program focusing on quality improvement and patient safety for nursing students. Method: An exploratory sequential mixed-method design was employed, comprising three phases. The initial phase utilized a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews with nursing students to gather in-depth insights. The second phase involved the development of an intervention program based on the qualitative findings, specifically tailored to improve quality and patient safety competencies. The third phase focused on expert validation of the developed program. Results: The qualitative analysis revealed five key themes: (1) Prioritizing Patient Safety, (2) Ensuring Accuracy in Patient Care, (3) The Importance of Infection Control, (4) Training as a Core Practice Component, and (5) The Need for Interdisciplinary Collaboration. Based on these themes, a 12-month training program was designed. Quantitative validation yielded favorable results, with an Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI) of 0.80, a Universal Agreement (UA) score of 0.80 (classified as Good), and an Average Agreement (AA) score of 0.81 (also classified as Good). Conclusion: A robust quality and patient safety framework encompasses various critical components, including the establishment of a safety culture, identification of potential risks, and the implementation of preventive strategies to reduce harm. Suggestions: Healthcare organizations, educators, and providers should adopt structured, time-bound strategies to enhance patient safety and care quality.

Abstract

Background: Academic examinations, especially practical exams such as OSCE, often trigger high levels of anxiety among nursing students. Anxiety arises from environmental pressure, limited time, and strict regulations, which negatively affect students’ performance. Non-pharmacological interventions, particularly breathing relaxation techniques combined with spiritual elements, are considered effective to reduce anxiety before examinations. Purpose: To identify the effect of modified deep breathing relaxation techniques with dzikr on the anxiety levels of nursing students facing OSCE at Muhammadiyah University of Sukabumi. Method: This research was a randomized control trial with parallel group design. A total of 36 nursing students were recruited and divided equally into intervention and control groups using simple random sampling. The intervention group received modified deep breathing relaxation combined with dzikr prior to OSCE, while the control group did not receive the intervention. Anxiety was measured using the Zung Self Anxiety Scale (ZSAS) before and after the OSCE. Data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk, Levene test, paired t-test, independent t-test, and Cohen’s d. Results: The findings showed a significant reduction in anxiety in the intervention group, with the mean score decreasing from 66.72 to 53.72 (p = 0.000). Conversely, the control group experienced an increase in anxiety, from 43.17 to 48.39 (p = 0.017). The difference between groups was statistically significant (p = 0.049) with a medium effect size (0.682). Conclusion: Modified deep breathing relaxation combined with dzikr is effective in reducing anxiety among OSCE participants. Nursing education institutions are encouraged to apply this technique as part of routine preparation to help students manage anxiety before practical examinations.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia is currently facing a triple disease burden, including a rise in chronic illnesses such as cancer, which significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Chemotherapy affects not only physical health but also psychological, social, and spiritual well-being. Factors such as self-efficacy, social support, and economic status are believed to strongly influence the quality of life among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Purpose: To examine the effects of self-efficacy, social support, and economic conditions on the quality of life of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching articles published between 2015 and 2025 across PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus using relevant keywords. Studies included randomized controlled trials, cohorts, case-control, and quasi-experimental designs that explored the relationship between the selected variables and patient quality of life. Ten articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Results: From a total of 453,025 articles identified, only 10 met the eligibility criteria. Findings consistently indicate that higher self-efficacy, strong social support, and stable economic conditions are positively correlated with improved quality of life in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Conclusion: Enhancing self-efficacy, providing adequate social support, and addressing economic challenges can significantly improve cancer patients’ quality of life. A holistic, integrated approach that includes psychosocial and spiritual care is essential. Nurses and healthcare professionals play a crucial role in delivering these interventions, supported by appropriate policies and education to strengthen global cancer care systems.
