Abstract

Background: Leadership is an important competency in nursing education, but students' experience in understanding lecturer leadership management is still rarely explored. Purpose: To understand students' experiences related to lecturer leadership management in nursing education. Method: A phenomenological approach was employed with in-depth interviews with 12 students as participants. The data was analyzed thematically to identify the experiences and meanings gained by students related to lecturer leadership. Results: The analysis showed four main themes: (1) lecturers as role models in leadership management, (2) guidance and mentoring in the leadership process, (3) open communication and interaction in leadership management, and (4) instilling ethical and leadership values by lecturers. Students assess direct interaction with lecturers, practical experience, and intensive mentorship as important factors in the development of professional leadership competencies. Conclusion: Student experiences confirm that lecturer leadership management shapes the professional understanding, skills, and values applied in nursing practice.

Abstract

Background: Suicide is a major public health concern and one of the leading causes of death globally, particularly among individuals with psychiatric disorders. Various psychotherapeutic interventions have been developed to reduce suicide risk, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which has shown promising results in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and other psychiatric diagnoses Purpose: To systematically review the effectiveness of DBT in reducing suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and self-harm behaviors in adult psychiatric patients. Method: A systematic search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, and ClinicalKey Nursing for articles published between 2010 and 2025. Inclusion criteria encompassed randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies involving DBT as the main intervention. Results: A total of eight studies (seven RCTs and one quasi-experimental) met the criteria. The results indicate that DBT significantly reduces suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), particularly when the skills training component is included. DBT was found to be equally or more effective than treatment as usual (TAU), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and other interventions. Key factors influencing effectiveness included therapist fidelity, patient engagement, and contextual implementation. Conclusion: This review concludes that DBT is a robust, evidence-based approach to suicide prevention in psychiatric settings and recommends its comprehensive implementation in clinical practice.

Abstract

Background: Nursing students face high academic and clinical practice demands that can potentially affect cognitive function, particularly executive function and working memory. The combination of broccoli and gotu cola extracts (Brogandi) is thought to support cognitive function through neuroprotective mechanisms. Purpose: To analyze the effectiveness of Brogandi on the executive function and memory of nursing students compared to a non-herbal and control group. Method: A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group pre-post test design was used on 60 students, divided into three groups: herbal (Brogandi, 2×1000 mg/day), non-herbal (multivitamins with cognitive function enhancement claims; 1 capsule/day), and control. Measurements were taken before and after a 4-week intervention using the Five-Point Test, Trail Making Test B, and Backward Digit Span. Results: Within the group, the Brogandi group showed an increase in the Unique Design FPT and BDS and a decrease in TMT-B time (p<0.05) with varying effect sizes. The non-herbal group also showed an increase in the Unique Design FPT and a decrease in TMT-B time (p<0.05), while the control group showed improvement in TMT-B (p<0.05). Comparison of changes (Δ post–pre) between groups showed significant differences in Unique Design FPT (p<0.001); post-hoc showed that the Brogandi and non-herbal groups were significantly different from the control group, but not from each other. Conclusion: Brogandi for 4 weeks showed domain-specific effects with pre–post improvements in figural fluency, working memory, and set-shifting. However, intergroup differences were only apparent in figural fluency, with an advantage over the control but no significant difference compared to the active multivitamin comparator. Further research should use a placebo-controlled randomized trial design with equalization of regimens between groups to reduce non-specific biases and strengthen findings.

Abstract

Background: Suicide is a major public health issue, and the underlying causes have not been definitively identified. Suicide instances continue to be prevalent in media coverage, and there is a rise in the incidence of suicides. In 2023, the incidence of suicides among junior high school students was highest in Central Java with 253 cases, followed by East Kalimantan with 128 cases, and North Kalimantan with 4 cases. Purpose: To investigate the significance, understanding, origins, outcomes, and anticipations of students regarding suicide incidents in coastal regions. Method: This was a descriptive qualitative study. The participants in this study were students from coastal areas. The number of respondents was 13. Data collection using in-depth interviews with interview guidelines, field notes, and data collection results was analyzed using Collaizzi. Results: This study identified four themes: comprehension of suicide incidents in coastal border areas, and factors that lead individuals to commit suicide in coastal zones. Events occurring post-suicide and suicide events are absent in coastal villages. Conclusion: Suicide among students in coastal border regions is shaped by limited awareness, personal and familial stressors, and varied social reactions. While some responses to suicide attempts involve sympathy and support, others perpetuate stigma and exclusion, reinforcing negative narratives.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease that remains as a major public health problem in Indonesia. Successful tuberculosis treatment largely depends on patients’ adherence to regular and continuous medication intake. Medication adherence behavior can be classified into adherence and non-adherence, with the medication non-adherence behavior increasing the risk of treatment failure, drug resistance, disease relapse, and ongoing transmission. This behavior is determined by a range of factors operating at the individual, social, and health system levels. Purpose: To analyze the determinants associated with medication non-adherence behavior among pulmonary tuberculosis patients based on data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. Method: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using secondary data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey, including 2,435 respondents, all of whom were pulmonary tuberculosis patients recorded in the SKI 2023 dataset. Independent variables consist of predisposing factors (age, gender, education, employment status, place of residence, perception of being cured, use of traditional medicine, intolerance to drug side effects, and boredom or reluctance to take medication regularly), enabling factors (limited availability of medication), and reinforcing factors (presence of a treatment supervisor). Medication non-adherence behavior was the dependent variable in this study and the bivariate analysis was performed using chi-square tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The findings showed significant associations between medication non-adherence behavior and several predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors (p < 0.05). Predisposing factors significantly associated with irregular medication intake including age, education, employment status, place of residence, perception of being cured, use of traditional medicine, intolerance to drug side effects, and boredom or reluctance to take medication regularly. Enabling factors, particularly limited availability of anti-tuberculosis medication at health facilities, were also significantly associated with irregular medication-taking behavior. In addition, reinforcing factors, namely the absence of a treatment supervisor, showed a significant association with irregular medication taking behavior. Conclusion: Medication non-adherence behavior among pulmonary tuberculosis patients is influenced by predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors. Improving treatment adherence requires comprehensive strategies, including strengthened patient education, improved access and availability of tuberculosis services, and strengthened treatment supervision through the presence of a treatment supervisor.

Abstract

Background: Exposure to PM2.5 air pollution is a major risk factor for exacerbations and decreased lung function in asthmatics. The World Health Organization has declared air pollution a global health emergency. Fine PM2.5 particles trigger oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and impaired airway clearance, which exacerbate airway obstruction. Purpose: Analyzing the effectiveness of chest physiotherapy in improving airway clearance in asthma patients exposed to PM2.5. Method: Using a pretest-posttest design, this study compared Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) values ​​in the first week as a baseline, with values ​​recorded in the second and third weeks after chest physiotherapy intervention. The Wilcoxon test was used to analyze differences in PEF values ​​over time. Results: Analysis showed a significant increase in PEF values ​​between the first and second weeks (Z = -6.88, p < 0.00) and between the first and third weeks (Z = -7.51, p < 0.00). The majority of participants showed an increase in PEF, with positive ratings of 72 in the second week and 75 in the third week, indicating improved airway clearance after the intervention. Conclusion: Chest physiotherapy effectively improves airway clearance and ventilation function in asthma sufferers exposed to PM2.5, thus having the potential to become an applicable and sustainable non-pharmacological, environmentally based nursing intervention.

Abstract

Background: Measuring random or fasting blood glucose levels does not fully reflect the quality of long-term blood glucose control. Therefore, more accurate monitoring of glycemic status in patients with diabetes mellitus is performed through the HbA1c test. This test is used as an indicator of successful diabetes mellitus control and to minimize the risk of cardiovascular complications and improve patients' quality of life. Purpose: To determine the relationship between HbA1c levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) values ​​in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients based on hypertension status at the Bunda Thamrin Medical Laboratory, Medan. Method: A quantitative approach was employed with a descriptive correlational analytical design. The population was 70 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with a sample size of 70 obtained through a specific sampling method. Data on HbA1c levels and ESR values ​​were analyzed to determine their relationship to the patients' hypertension status. Results: No significant differences in HbA1c levels (p=0.746) or ESR values ​​(p=0.259) were found between the hypertensive and normotensive patient groups. However, a clinically significant trend was found in ESR values, with the hypertensive group having a higher proportion of normal ESR values ​​(p=0.066). Conclusion: No significant differences were found between HbA1c levels and ESR values ​​based on hypertension status. Nevertheless, HbA1c has the potential to be an indirect predictor of inflammatory status. Optimal glycemic control remains crucial to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications through anti-inflammatory mechanisms, especially in patients with hypertension who require more comprehensive management.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy is a critical period characterized by substantial physiological and psychosocial changes that increase vulnerability to stress and prenatal anxiety. Partner support has been identified as a key protective factor; however, existing studies often conceptualize social support broadly, with limited integration of relational and dyadic mechanisms. Purpose: To synthesize evidence on the relationship between partner support and prenatal anxiety within a biopsychosocial and dyadic framework. Method: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, identifying 10 eligible studies published between 2016 and 2025. The included studies were predominantly cross-sectional, with some longitudinal and dyadic designs. Data were extracted using a PICOS framework and synthesized through thematic analysis to identify patterns of association and underlying mechanisms. Results: Evidence across studies consistently indicates that higher levels of partner support are associated with lower prenatal anxiety, although findings are largely derived from observational designs. The relationship operates through both direct and indirect pathways. Relationship quality and dyadic coping emerge as key relational mechanisms that mediate or strengthen the association between support and maternal psychological outcomes. Additionally, dyadic evidence suggests that prenatal anxiety is shaped by interdependent processes within couples, highlighting the relational nature of maternal mental health. Conclusions: This review supports a biopsychosocial and dyadic understanding of prenatal anxiety and proposes a multi-pathway conceptual model integrating partner support, relationship quality, and dyadic coping. While the findings highlight the importance of partner involvement in antenatal care, further longitudinal and theory-driven studies are needed to establish causal pathways and strengthen the evidence base.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a common health problem among the elderly and can lead to serious complications if left uncontrolled. One non-pharmacological effort is healthy heart exercise, which increases blood vessel elasticity, improves circulation, and lowers blood pressure. Purpose: To determine the effect of healthy heart exercise on blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. Method: This is a pre-experimental study with a time series design. The sample consisted of 23 elderly people selected using a purposive sampling technique. The intervention, which included healthy heart exercise, was conducted over three consecutive days, each lasting 30 minutes. The research instruments used were a mercury sphygmomanometer, a stethoscope, the Healthy Heart Exercise Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), and an observation sheet. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure data were measured daily before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis used a paired-sample t-test. Results: Univariate analysis showed that the mean blood pressure before exercise on the first day was 149.65/89.48 mmHg, on the second day 148.96/88.00 mmHg, and on the third day 146.70/91.04 mmHg. Bivariate analysis showed a significant decrease after exercise, with blood pressure dropping to 145.48/87.30 mmHg on the first day, 145.65/84.52 mmHg on the second day, and 144.09/87.30 mmHg on the third day (p=0.000 <0.05). Conclusion: Elderly can consistently and regularly perform this heart-healthy exercise three times a week to obtain optimal benefits, as a therapeutic modality for controlling blood pressure.

Abstract

Background: Evidence shows family support, motivation, and physical activity are crucial for quality of life in elderly individuals with hypertension, with physical activity showing strong correlation. Factors like self-management, education, and income also play key roles. This study is situated in a Bandung City district where in 2021, primary hypertension was the leading cause of death and most prevalent disease. In 2023, of 437 residents with hypertension, only 35 elderly individuals regularly monitored their condition at the district's Community Health Center. Purpose: To investigate how physical activity and self-management affect quality of elderly life with Hypertension at a Community Health Care facility in an urban district in Bandung. Method: The study population included 72 elderly individuals, with a sample of 62 respondents determined by Slovin formula. Respondents were assessed using the SF36 questionnaire for quality of life, Physical Activities Scale for the Elderly (PASE), and Hypertension Self-Management Behavior Questionnaire (HSMBQ). Data analysis was conducted using multiple logistic regression. Results: Findings showed 69.4% of respondents had satisfactory physical activity levels, 56.5% showed effective self-management, and 83.9% reported high quality of life. Physical activity had the strongest influence (OR= 4.980) (95% CI OR: 7.520 – 211.29), while self-management showed moderate impact (OR=1.811). Conclusions: Elderly individuals with unsatisfactory physical activity face a 4,980-fold increased risk of declining quality of life compared to those with good activity levels. Those with unsatisfactory self-management face 1,811-fold increased risk of decreased quality of life versus those with effective practices.
