Abstract

Background: Despite being one of the most effective long-acting reversible contraceptive methods, the utilization of contraceptive implants remains low in Indonesia. Limited knowledge, sociodemographic characteristics, and inadequate husband support are considered important barriers to implant acceptance. Purpose: To identify factors associated with the low interest of women in using contraceptive implants. Method: An analytical correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 40 women of reproductive age who were family planning acceptors. A total sampling technique was employed. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires, while secondary data were obtained from health center records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Fisher's Exact Test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Among the 40 respondents, the majority were aged 20–35 years (52.5%), had a secondary level of education (55.0%), demonstrated poor knowledge of contraceptive implants (45.0%), and reported a lack of husband's support (65.0%). Only 37.5% of the respondents expressed interest in using contraceptive implants. Fisher's exact test revealed that knowledge (p<0.001), age (p=0.005), educational level (p<0.001), and husband's support (p<0.001) were all significantly associated with respondents interest in using contraceptive implants. Respondents with better knowledge, higher educational attainment, older reproductive age, and supportive husbands were more likely to express interest in using contraceptive implants. Conclusions: Knowledge, age, education, and husband support are significant determinants of women's interest in contraceptive implant use. Strengthening family planning education and involving husbands in counseling may improve acceptance of implant contraception.

Abstract

Background: As individuals age, older adults experience significant physiological decline, including reduced vascular elasticity, which contributes to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Biologically, persistent anxiety triggers the release of stress hormones, such as catecholamines and cortisol, which increase sympathetic nervous system activity and subsequently elevate blood pressure. Purpose: To examine the association between anxiety levels and hypertension among older adults. Method: This study employed a correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 313 older adults from Cimanggu Village were recruited using a cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured closed-ended questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Results: Most respondents experienced severe anxiety (203; 64.9%). Furthermore, hypertension was identified in 195 respondents (62.3%). A statistically significant relationship was found between anxiety levels and the incidence of hypertension among older adults (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Anxiety levels were significantly associated with hypertension among older adults. These findings suggest that hypertension management in older adults should adopt a comprehensive approach that addresses both physical and psychological aspects of health.

Abstract

Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by increased cholesterol levels, especially low-density lipoprotein (LDL), in the blood circulation. This condition contributes significantly to the incidence of coronary heart disease and stroke, and is a global public health burden. Standard therapy using lipid-lowering drugs such as statins has been proven effective, but is associated with adverse effects, such as myopathy, hepatotoxicity, and long-term treatment resistance. Therefore, the search for safer and more affordable natural therapeutic alternatives is important. One potential plant that is widely consumed and relatively safe is beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Purpose: To narratively review scientific evidence related to the hypercholesterolemic activity of bioactive compounds in beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) based on in vitro and in vivo research results. Method: This narrative review involved a literature search conducted in three electronic databases: Google Scholar (n = 58), ScienceDirect (n = 11), and PubMed (n = 2), yielding a total of 71 articles. The search strategy employed Boolean operators using the following keywords: ("beans" AND "Phaseolus vulgaris L." AND "hypercholesterolemia" AND "bioactive compounds" AND "isolation") OR "fractionation". The inclusion criteria comprised original research articles published between 2015 and 2025, with full-text availability. Articles were excluded if they were duplicates, did not present primary research data, or had titles that were not relevant to the predefined search keywords. Results: Bioactive compounds in Phaseolus vulgaris L. work through multiple mechanisms, including inhibition of cholesterol synthesis, increased excretion, and protection against LDL oxidation. Phaseolus vulgaris demonstrates considerable therapeutic potential as a safe and effective herbal therapy in the management of hypercholesterolemia. Conclusion: Current preclinical evidence indicates that bioactive compounds in Phaseolus vulgaris may support cholesterol reduction through several complementary mechanisms. However, well-designed human clinical trials are required to confirm their efficacy and safety.

Abstract

Background: Congenital Talipes Equino Varus (CTEV) is a common congenital condition that could lead to lifelong disability. Early intervention using the Ponseti method, a low-cost, highly effective treatment, is essential. However, in the 2020 emerged Covid-19 global pandemic which could impacted on CTEV treatments. Purpose: This study explores the Covid-19 pandemic impact on CTEV treatment and the adaptations developed to ensure continued patient care. Method: A systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Database searches were carried out through screening articles from 2019 to 2023. Results: Out of 23 initial studies, 12 met the inclusion criteria. Covid-19 has caused delays in CTEV treatment globally, reducing access to surgeries, tenotomies, and consultations. Patients faced challenges such as travel restrictions, lack of public transportation, financial strain, and increased travel distances. Healthcare providers dealt with limited resources, clinic closures, and redirected efforts toward Covid-19 care, impacting the availability and frequency of CTEV treatment. These challenges were overcome through telemedicine, "barrier casting”, and clinic-based tenotomies under local anaesthesia. Conclusion: The Covid-19 pandemic emphasized the need for robust contingency plans in healthcare, especially for conditions requiring timely interventions like CTEV. The adaptive approaches developed offer valuable insights for future healthcare crises.

Abstract

Background: Most lead concentrations in the environment come from human activities. Mining activities have negative impacts on the environment, one of which is exposure to heavy metals such as lead (Pb). The hazards of lead to the human body can cause disorders of the hemopoietic system such as anemia, central and peripheral nervous system disorders, kidney damage, gastrointestinal disorders such as colic and constipation, cardiovascular system disorders, and dysfunction of the adrenal and thyroid glands. Purpose: To measure the concentration of lead metal (Pb) in dug well water. Method: This study used a descriptive method. Samples of dug well water from 14 locations in the area around PT Gunung Bumi Perkasa, Sukabumi Regency were collected using the Simple Random Sampling technique. The samples were then analyzed to determine the level of lead contained using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) at a wavelength of 217.0 nm. Results: The measurement results showed that the lead levels in the water ranged from 0.0004 to 0.0189 mg/L. Based on these data, all samples still met the quality standards for lead (Pb) levels in clean water, as regulated in Permenkes No.32 of 2017 concerning Clean Water Quality Standards, which is 0.05 mg/L. Conclusion: All 14 samples of dug well water, contained lead below the threshold value for clean water quality.

Abstract

Background: Hydrocephalus, hydranencephaly, and holoprosencephaly are severe neurodevelopmental disorders that significantly impact brain structure and function. Early identification and appropriate management are essential to reduce morbidity and mortality, yet clinical differentiation among these conditions remains challenging. Purpose: To explore the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical outcomes, and current management approaches for hydrocephalus, hydranencephaly, and holoprosencephaly, with a focus on improving diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic strategies. Method: This retrospective study was conducted at Arifin Achmad Hospital, Pekanbaru, over a five-year period (July 2018–July 2023), reviewing medical records of neonates diagnosed with major neurological anomalies such as hydrocephalus, hydranencephaly, and holoprosencephaly, confirmed by imaging or clinical evaluation. Results: The findings reveal that hydrocephalus is primarily characterized by abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation, hydranencephaly involves near-complete cerebral hemisphere loss replaced by cerebrospinal fluid, and holoprosencephaly results from impaired prosencephalon division during early embryogenesis. Advances in genetic testing and neuroimaging have enhanced differential diagnosis, while early neurosurgical intervention and multidisciplinary care significantly improve survival and quality of life. Conclusion: Understanding the distinct pathophysiology and outcomes of these disorders is crucial for effective patient care. Future research in genetic and neurodevelopmental pathways offers promising opportunities for targeted therapies and improved long-term management.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) cases remain a global concern. DM is often referred to as the "silent killer" because its symptoms are often not noticeable in the early stages. DM can cause serious complications, such as kidney damage and even amputation. This is a serious public health issue. DM requires long-term treatment because it is a chronic disease that will be suffered with for life, where optimal blood sugar level management is the main focus of its treatment. Long-term medical treatment for DM often causes side effects and places a significant economic burden on patients. A natural, safe, and affordable supportive therapy approach is essential as part of comprehensive DM management. One plant with potential as a supportive therapy is turmeric leaf (Curcuma longa). Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of turmeric leaf decoction (curcuma longa) as a supportive therapy in lowering blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. Method: This study was quasi-experimental and used a one-group pre-test-post-test design with control. The sample consisted of 60 DM patients (30 patients in the control group and 30 patients in the intervention group) who were treated at the Trucuk Klaten Community Health Center. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Blood sugar levels in the sample were measured using a glucometer. The data results were measured using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: Turmeric leaf decoction affected lowering blood sugar levels in diabetic patients with a p-value = 0.001 (p<0.005).  Conclusion: This non-pharmacological therapy using turmeric leaf decoction can be used as a supportive therapy for diabetic patients because it contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, which are believed to have the potential to help lower blood glucose levels.

Abstract

Background: Nutritional health services play a crucial role for pregnant women in supporting fetal growth, preventing complications, and reducing the risk of stunting. Purpose: To explore nutritional health services for pregnant women. Method: A phenomenological approach involving 11 informants (pregnant women, family members, healthcare workers, community cares, and policymakers). Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes emerging from participants’ narratives. Results: The analysis generated 47 codes, which were grouped into 8 categories and distilled into two main themes: (1) Experiences of Receiving Nutritional Services, including routine screening, internal referrals, multidisciplinary collaboration, availability of supplements/PMT, and digital media–based education; (2) Barriers in Nutritional Practices and Uptake, including brief communication due to workload, low effectiveness of conventional education, internal constraints (nausea, side effects, forgetting to take supplements), socio-economic challenges, conflicts between medical advice and family traditions, as well as perceptions that services are more beneficial for high risk patients. Conclusion: Although nutritional services are relatively well-structured and adequate, their implementation still faces significant barriers related to communication, education, internal, socio economic, and cultural factors. These findings highlight the need for interventions focusing on more effective communication strategies and strengthening the role of reliable information sources to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: The number of elderly people in Indonesia continues to increase, with the proportion of the elderly population reaching 11.75% in 2023, up from 10.48% in the previous year. This increase in the elderly population is directly proportional to the prevalence of osteoporosis, which not only impacts individuals but also places a burden on families and the health system. Purpose: To analyze the effect of physical therapy on the balance of elderly people with osteoporosis, to assess changes in muscle strength after undergoing physical therapy and to identify the impact of physical therapy on the risk of falls in elderly people with osteoporosis. Method: This study employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test design. Accidental sampling was used, and univariate analysis was used to determine the frequency distribution of each variable. Bivariate analysis used the Wilcoxon mean difference test for each group and the Mann-Whitney test to determine differences in post-test results between the two groups. Results: The majority of participants were aged ≥ 66 years, more female participants than male, most participants had jobs. • The average increase in BBS scores in the OEP group (2.67). The average decrease in TUG scores in the OEP group (0.87) was lower than the control group (2.00), p value = 0.0005. Both results are supported by a highly significant p value (<0.001) and a large effect size (>1), which means that the OEP intervention had a strong and real impact on elderly participants. Conclusion: Statistical analysis results indicate that the Otago Exercise Program (OEP) has a significant and significant impact on improving balance in older adults (BBS score), mobility, and reducing fall risk (TUG score). Therefore, the OEP is recommended as an effective physical exercise program to improve the quality of life in older adults and reduce the risk of falls. Suggestions: Involve a larger number of participants Extend the duration of the intervention program and conduct long-term follow-up, Include additional variables such as quality of life, actual fall risk, and the impact of the intervention on daily independence.
