Abstract

Background: Preoperative anxiety may affect patients’ psychological readiness and perioperative recovery. Structured education using accessible written and audiovisual media may help patients understand the surgical process and reduce uncertainty before laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Purpose: To examine changes in preoperative anxiety after leaflet- and video-based education among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Method: This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 38 patients at Sari Asih Ciledug Hospital, Tangerang, Indonesia. Participants received a 20-minute educational session using a leaflet and video. Anxiety was assessed before and after the intervention using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale. Pretest and posttest results were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Before education, 18 participants (47.4%) had mild anxiety, 12 (31.6%) had moderate anxiety, 3 (7.9%) had severe anxiety, and 5 (13.2%) had no anxiety. After education, 22 participants (57.9%) had no anxiety, 13 (34.2%) had mild anxiety, 2 (5.3%) had moderate anxiety, and 1 (2.6%) had severe anxiety. Anxiety levels differed significantly between the pretest and posttest assessments (p < 0.001).

Abstract

Background: The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Handbook is an integrated home-based record and health-education resource that supports child growth monitoring, nutrition, immunization, feeding practices, and early recognition of health problems. Maternal understanding of the handbook may influence how effectively its information is applied in daily childcare. Purpose: To examine the association between maternal knowledge of the MCH Handbook and the nutritional status of children aged 6–59 months at Rajabasa Indah Public Health Center, Bandar Lampung. Method: This cross-sectional analytic study included 100 mother–child pairs recruited through convenience sampling in 2026. Maternal knowledge was assessed using a questionnaire, and child nutritional status was determined from anthropometric measurements using the weight-for-length/height indicator. Descriptive statistics summarized the study variables, and the chi-square test assessed the association between maternal knowledge and nutritional status. Results: Good knowledge of the MCH Handbook was reported by 82 mothers (82.0%), while 14 (14.0%) had poor knowledge and 4 (4.0%) had moderate knowledge. Eighty-three children (83.0%) had normal nutritional status, 14 (14.0%) were undernourished, and 3 (3.0%) were overnourished. Maternal knowledge was significantly associated with child nutritional status (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Maternal knowledge of the MCH Handbook was associated with the nutritional status of children aged 6–59 months. Because the study was cross-sectional and several contingency-table cells were sparse, the findings indicate an association rather than a causal effect.

Abstract

Background: Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is a non-allergic inflammatory skin reaction caused by direct exposure to irritants. Laundry workers are vulnerable because repeated wet work and detergent contact can disrupt the skin barrier. Purpose: To examine the association between powdered detergent use frequency and ICD among laundry workers. Method: This cross-sectional analytic study included all 60 laundry workers in the study population in Tulang Bawang Barat Regency, Lampung Province, in January 2026. Data were collected using a questionnaire, clinical history taking, and physical skin examination. Categorical data were summarized as frequencies and percentages, and the chi-square test assessed the association between powdered detergent use frequency and ICD. Results: High-frequency powdered detergent use was reported by 26 workers (43.3%), while 17 (28.3%) reported moderate use and 17 (28.3%) reported low use. ICD was identified in 42 workers (70.0%). Powdered detergent use frequency was significantly associated with ICD (p = 0.004). Conclusion: Powdered detergent use frequency was associated with ICD among laundry workers. Because the study was cross-sectional, the finding should be interpreted as an association rather than evidence of causation.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) may progress to kidney failure requiring hemodialysis. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and older age are commonly associated with CKD, but local evidence remains limited. Purpose: To examine factors associated with kidney failure requiring hemodialysis among patients treated at a regional hospital in Central Java, Indonesia. Method: This case-control study included 122 participants: 61 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis as cases and 61 controls. Cases were selected using purposive sampling and controls using consecutive sampling. Age and histories of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity were assessed using a structured questionnaire. Associations were examined using chi-square tests with continuity correction and reported as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Age >60 years was not significantly associated with kidney failure requiring hemodialysis (p = 0.237; OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.26-1.26). Histories of hypertension (p = 0.016; OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.26-5.67), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.018; OR 2.84, 95% CI 1.26-6.39), and obesity (p = 0.033; OR 5.78, 95% CI 1.21-27.63) were significantly associated with the outcome. Conclusion: Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity were associated with kidney failure requiring hemodialysis, whereas age >60 years was not. These estimates are unadjusted bivariate associations and should not be interpreted as causal effects.

Abstract

Background: Dermatoglyphic patterns develop during embryogenesis and are influenced by genetic and intrauterine factors. Trisomy 21 may alter epidermal ridge formation, making fingerprint patterns a potential non-invasive supportive marker of developmental variation. Purpose: To compare participant-level categorical fingerprint patterns between children with and without Down syndrome. Method: This comparative cross-sectional study included 59 participants: 29 children with Down syndrome and 30 children without Down syndrome. Fingerprint impressions were obtained using an ink pad and fingerprint paper, and each child was assigned one participant-level category (loop, whorl, or arch). Fisher's exact test compared the loop and whorl distributions because no arch patterns were observed; p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Loop patterns were reported in 23 children with Down syndrome (79.3%) and 27 children without Down syndrome (90.0%). Whorl patterns were reported in 6 children with Down syndrome (20.7%) and 3 children without Down syndrome (10.0%); no arch patterns were identified. The distribution was not significantly different between groups (p = 0.299). Conclusion: Participant-level loop, whorl, and arch pattern distributions were not significantly different between children with and without Down syndrome in this sample. These broad categories should not be interpreted as a stand-alone diagnostic marker.
