Abstract

Introduction: The success of midwifery care has an impact on maternal health and greatly influences future generations of the nation and state. Purpose: recommendations for reducing the incidence of LBW based on an analysis of the influence of the determinants of the cause. Method: observational study with cohort design. The population is all pregnant and giving birth women in East Lombok Regency amounting to 27,463 people. The sample was calculated using the binomial formula, using the simple random sampling technique, and obtained 400 samples (α = 0.05). Results Spontaneous delivery, delivery at the polindes, and delivery assisted by a midwife, while newborns are female and weigh more than 2,500 grams. The determinant effect of the mother on the incidence of low birth weight babies (LBW) consists of the age of the mother with a significance value of 0.005 RR: 1,544 (1,026 to 2,497), gestational age 0,010 RR: 1,406 (1,058 to 2,159), frequency of antenatal care (ANC) 0,005 RR: 1,763 (1,186 to 2,620). The prediction model for LBW incidence was obtained by simultaneously testing the determinants of the causes of LBW incidence in East Lombok District, namely Antenatal Care (ANC) with PR: 2,381, 95% CI (1,387 to 4,088) and a significance of 0.002. Recommendation: health promotion is carried out by taking into account the characteristics of the mother so that it is easy to understand, the team of officers will follow up on the services provided such as providing supplements, blood pressure, healthy diet and adequate family involvement.

Abstract

Introduction:  Hypertension is a major global health issue contributing significantly to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In Indonesia, the increasing prevalence of hypertension highlights the need for effective, low-cost, non-pharmacological interventions, such as Slow Stroke Back Massage (SSBM), which may offer physiological and psychological benefits.  Objectives:  This study aimed to determine the effect of Slow Stroke Back Massage on reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure among individuals with primary hypertension.  Methods:  A quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was conducted. Participants aged 40–70 years with primary hypertension were purposively selected and divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received SSBM once daily for three consecutive days, while the control group received standard care. Blood pressure measurements were recorded before and after intervention using calibrated digital sphygmomanometers. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests. Results:  The intervention group experienced a significant reduction in both systolic (from 150.2 ± 10.5 mmHg to 137.6 ± 9.8 mmHg) and diastolic (from 95.8 ± 6.2 mmHg to 87.3 ± 5.6 mmHg) blood pressure (p < 0.001). No statistically significant changes were observed in the control group. These results support the efficacy of SSBM as an adjunctive therapy in hypertension management.  Conclusions: SSBM is an effective, low-cost, and non-invasive complementary intervention for lowering blood pressure in patients with primary hypertension. It can be integrated into nursing care practices, especially in primary healthcare settings, to enhance hypertension management outcomes.

Introduction: Compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs) in intravenous (IV) infusion is essential for patient safety and quality of care. Nurses play a pivotal role in implementing SOPs, and their level of knowledge may significantly influence their adherence.. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the correlation between nurses’ knowledge levels and their compliance with intravenous infusion SOPs in the emergency department. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted involving 116 nurses in the emergency department of RSU dr. H. Koesnadi Bondowoso. Data were collected using structured questionnaires to assess knowledge and direct observation checklists to evaluate SOP compliance. Spearman’s rho was used for statistical analysis with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: Of the 116 nurses, 88.8% had good knowledge, 6.0% had moderate knowledge, and 5.2% had poor knowledge. Full compliance was observed among nurses with good knowledge, while non-compliance was highest among those with poor knowledge. A strong positive correlation was found between knowledge and compliance (Spearman’s r = 0.730, p = 0.001). Conclusions: There is a significant positive association between nurses’ knowledge levels and their compliance with IV infusion SOPs. Enhancing nurses' knowledge through continuous education and monitoring is essential to promote safe and standardized nursing practices.

Abstract

Background: The emergency department is the main entry point for hospital services and plays a crucial role in providing immediate patient care. Intravenous insertion is a common invasive procedure that may contribute to nosocomial infections if standard operating procedures (SOPs) are not properly followed. Nurses’ compliance with SOPs is therefore essential for infection prevention and patient safety. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between nurses’ knowledge levels and compliance with intravenous insertion standard operating procedures in emergency care settings. Methods: A correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in January 2016. The study involved all nurses working in the emergency department, with a total of 18 participants selected using total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires to assess knowledge and observational checklists to evaluate compliance. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s rho test with a significance level of 5% (α = 0.05). Results: The analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between nurses’ knowledge levels and compliance with intravenous insertion SOPs (p = 0.001), indicating that higher knowledge levels were associated with better compliance. Conclusion: Nurses’ knowledge is a key determinant of compliance with intravenous insertion SOPs and plays an important role in preventing nosocomial infections in emergency care settings.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most feared diseases among women due to its uncertain etiology, limited preventive measures, unpredictable disease progression, and the potential for pain and disability in advanced stages. Limited knowledge about breast cancer and surgical procedures may contribute to anxiety among patients, particularly during the preoperative period, which can negatively affect psychological readiness and clinical outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between mothers’ knowledge of breast cancer and anxiety levels among preoperative breast cancer patients. Methods: A correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among preoperative breast cancer patients scheduled for surgery in a central surgical unit. A total of 84 respondents were recruited using accidental sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires to assess knowledge levels and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) to measure anxiety. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s rho correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between mothers’ knowledge of breast cancer and anxiety levels among preoperative breast cancer patients (p = 0.013), indicating that lower knowledge levels were associated with higher anxiety. Conclusion: There is a significant association between mothers’ knowledge of breast cancer and preoperative anxiety levels. Strengthening patient education through structured health counseling and standardized operating procedures may help reduce anxiety and improve psychological preparedness before surgery.
