Abstract

Elementary school-aged children are very vulnerable to experiencing unpleasant events and are often victims of violence. In Indonesia, West Java Province is ranked first in cases of violence against children, with a total of 1,695 victims. In Sumedang Regency, especially North Sumedang District, there is a high number of cases of violence against children. Children aged 12-13 are in the transition phase from children to adolescents. This study aims to analyze the differences in trauma in boys and girls aged 12-13 years. The method used in this study is a comparative quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique in this study used Simple Random Sampling with a sample size using the calculation of the Krecji table with a significance level of 5%, namely 276 grade 6 elementary school children consisting of 133 boys and 143 girls. The instrument used in this study is the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form (CTQ-SF) questionnaire, which measures five dimensions of trauma, namely emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect. Data collected through questionnaires were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test. The results of this study showed that there were significant differences in trauma between boys and girls aged 12-13 years in the dimensions of Emotional Abuse (p = 0.029), Physical Abuse (p < 0.001), and Physical Neglect (p < 0.001). There are differences in trauma in boys and girls. Boys are more vulnerable to physical trauma, and girls are more vulnerable to emotional or psychological trauma.

Abstract

The precision of management protocols largely influences the outcomes of trauma patients. Nurses play a crucial role in patients’ stabilization. Accurate and timely screening can improve the response time and facilitate the effective stabilization of trauma patients. This review aims to understand: (1) Types of emergency nursing intervention delivered for trauma patients in the emergency department, (2) Outcomes from the emergency nursing intervention delivered for trauma patients in the emergency department. A scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O’Malley’s approach and Levac’s method for data analysis. Interventions conducted by nurses in the emergency department for trauma patients included Airway – Breathing – Circulation – Disability – Environment/Emotional care – Foley catheter – Gastric tube – Hemodynamic monitoring – Interprofessional teamwork. Outcomes related to emergency nursing intervention can be divided into three categories: patient, nurse, and organizational outcomes. Emergency nursing interventions are most effective in better managing trauma patients when grounded in competency-based education, delivered through standardized protocols, supported by interdisciplinary teamwork, and inclusive of emotional and psychological care.

Abstract

Nurse migration among G20 countries increased as consequence of shortage of nurses in developed country members. Concrete strategies needed to address the issues. This study aimed to propose policy recommendation to the G20 Forum to enhance nurse migration system and long-term solution for shortages of nurses. A qualitative study was conducted to collect ideas for policy recommendation through experts sharing and focus group discussion. 190 participants involved. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to analyze the data. A policy recommendation was formulated into four themes and 11 categories. The themes included (a) harmonization for equal nursing competency qualifications, (b) reinforcement of brain drain anticipation and brain gain support, (c) improvement of regulatory and data system for nurse migration, and (d) collaboration enhancement with stakeholders for an enabling environment. The formulated policy recommendation may be used as a reference for current G20 leaders to create more concrete strategies for enhancing nurse migration system and long-term solution of shortages of nurses, as part of commitment on the health agenda. Considering the finding of this study highlighted the role of NNAs and NSAs for collaboration enhancement with stakeholders for enabling environment, we suggest a further study to identify more detail strategies to enhance NNAs and NSAs’ role in enhancing registration, placement, and monitoring processes.

Abstract

Prostate cancer remains a major global health challenge, recognized as the second most prevalent cancer among men and the fifth leading cause of mortality worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the current knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding prostate cancer. An analytical, cross-sectional survey was conducted among 326 adult males at Seiyun University, Yemen. Data were collected using a validated, self-administered questionnaire that covered sociodemographic, family history, awareness, symptoms' knowledge, risk factors, attitudes and screening practices. Ethical approval and verbal informed consent were obtained. Descriptive statistics, KAP categorization, and chi-square were performed. Overall, participants demonstrated limited awareness with 25% having heard of prostate cancer and 6% aware of specific screening programs. The majority (69%) correctly identified blood tests as the best screening method, only 17% knew the appropriate age for screening. Interestingly, only 1.2% of participants reported having been screened for prostate cancer. Meanwhile, 6% indicated a family history of cancer, mostly breast cancer in second-degree relatives. The study found significant correlations between participants' knowledge levels, age, and the type of college attended. Importantly, there was a significant association between having a family history of cancer and undergoing screening procedures. In other words, participants with a family history of cancer were more likely to participate in screening practices. This study highlights a significant deficit in prostate cancer knowledge and alarmingly low screening rates. The findings underscore an urgent need for comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based educational initiatives in Yemen. These efforts should specifically target identified knowledge gaps related to symptoms, risk factors, and appropriate screening age, and be tailored to specific age groups and college types, leveraging the influence of family history, to foster proactive health behaviors and improve early detection.

Abstract

Children are a vulnerable group in disasters due to their limited physical strength, susceptibility to illness, and emotional instability. Reducing vulnerability is essential for protecting children during disasters, and one crucial factor in their preparedness is disaster education. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of flood disaster preparedness training on improving elementary school students’ preparedness in dealing with flash floods. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed, involving 50 students from SDN 23 Guguak Randah. The intervention consisted of a 60-minute training session using lectures, discussions, videos, and disaster simulations. Disaster education plays a significant role in raising children's awareness about disasters and their risk perception. Students’ knowledge was assessed using a validated 10-item questionnaire before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 69.20 (SD = 17.71) before training to 80.40 (SD = 15.53) after training (z = 4.089, p < .0001). These findings demonstrate that flood preparedness training significantly enhances students’ knowledge and awareness of disaster preparedness. Disaster education programs for children have been considered an innovative approach to disaster risk reduction The use of lecture-based methods, complemented by simulations, can significantly improve students' comprehension of the concepts and materials being taught. Routine implementation of disaster preparedness programs in schools, in collaboration with the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), is recommended to strengthen children’s resilience and readiness for future disasters.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease that is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, including in Indonesia. Hypertension management depends on medication and requires patient compliance in undergoing routine check-ups at health facilities. However, the level of compliance among hypertensive patients in undergoing routine check-ups is still relatively low. One factor that influences compliance is family support, which can take the form of emotional, instrumental, informational, or appreciative support. Previous studies have shown a relationship between family support and compliance with hypertension control, but generally still view family support in general terms. Not many studies have examined each aspect of family support (emotional, instrumental, informational, and appreciation) more specifically, especially in areas with high prevalence, such as Hegarmanah Village, which makes this study unique. This study aims to investigate the relationship between family support and adherence to routine check-ups among hypertensive patients in Hegarmanah Village, the service area of the Jatinangor Community Health Center. This study used a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study consisted of 357 people, and the sample size used was 85 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The respondents in this study were hypertensive patients living in Hegarmanah Village and registered at the Jatinangor Community Health Center. The inclusion criteria included: (1) diagnosed with hypertension with above-normal blood pressure, (2) undergoing routine health checks at least in the last 3 months, and (3) living with family. The measurement tools used were a family support questionnaire adopted from previous researchers and a check-up compliance questionnaire modified from the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale. The data were analyzed using the chi-squared test. The chi-squared test results showed a p-value <0.001, indicating a significant relationship between family support and patient compliance in controlling hypertension. It was found that respondents with good family support had good control compliance, totaling 19 respondents (24.1%), while those with relatively little family support had low compliance, totaling four respondents (5.1%). Based on Cramer's V value of 0.382, the strength of the relationship between the two variables is in the moderate category. This suggests that the higher the level of family support received by patients, the greater the likelihood of patients complying with hypertension control. Family support plays a significant role in encouraging patients to undergo routine follow-up care. Family-based interventions are expected to be part of health care strategies to improve patient compliance.

Abstract

The provision of HIV prevention programs targeting key populations, particularly men who have sex with men (MSM), has been expanding rapidly. HIV self-testing (HIVST) has emerged as an accessible and convenient method for individuals to determine their HIV status independently. However, its utilization remains suboptimal, one potential barrier is the fear of stigma related to sexual behavior experienced by MSM. This study aimed to examine the association between sexual behavior stigma and willingness to undertake HIV self-testing among MSM. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using a non-probability (accidental) sampling technique. The study included 83 MSM participants affiliated with non-profit organization in Padang City. Data collection was carried out from February to May 2025.Two instruments were employed: The Sexual Behavior Stigma (SBS) Scale to assess sexual behavior stigma and a structured questionnaire to measure willingness to perform HIV self-testing. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed that the mean score of sexual behavior stigma was 4.15, while the mean score for willingness to undertake HIV self-testing was 0.458, indicating that 45.8% of respondents expressed willingness to perform HIVST. Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation between sexual behavior stigma and willingness to undertake HIV self-testing (p = 0.000; r = 0.486; r² = 0.236). These findings suggest that higher levels of sexual behavior stigma are associated with lower willingness to perform HIV self-testing. Sexual behavior stigma will lower the success of achieving HIV eradication. It is crucial to reactivate stigma elimination programs to create a safe and supportive environment for MSM as key populations, enabling them to protect themselves from the risk of HIV transmission.

Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia including women in urban areas. Despite the availability of screening services in cities like Jakarta, Tangerang, Bekasi, and Depok, uptake remains low. Understanding how women perceive the benefits and barriers to cervical cancer screening is essential to improving participation rates. This study aimed to examine the perception of benefits and barriers related to cervical cancer screening among married women living in urban areas of Indonesia. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 748 married women aged 21–65 years in Jakarta, Tangerang, Bekasi, and Depok. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics to summarize key variables, including educational level and employment status, income level, and perceptions of screening. The majority of participants had a low education level (78.6%), unemployed (77.7%), and social economy status below the regional minimum wage (86.1%). A total of 57% of respondents reported low perceived benefits of cervical cancer screening, and 48.5% perceived high barriers. Despite residing in urban areas with better access to healthcare, many women continue to hold limited poor perceptions about benefits of cervical cancer screening. These findings underscore the need for targeted health education, culturally sensitive interventions, and improved accessibility to increase screening uptake in Indonesia’s urban communities.

Abstract

Weight faltering in children aged 6–24 months is a major nutritional problem that can impair growth and development. This condition is closely associated with inappropriate Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices, particularly inadequate complementary feeding. Appropriate IYCF is essential to ensure adequate nutrient intake and support optimal nutritional status during this critical period. To determine the relationship between infant and young child feeding (IYCF) habits and the nutritional status of children aged 6 and 24 months in Sukadana Village. The study design used a cross-sectional correlation. The study sample consisted of 54 people using a purposive sampling technique. The study variables were feeding habits and toddler nutritional status. The instruments used were the Child Growth Chart and a questionnaire IYCF Patterns. Data analysis used the chi-square test. Most caregivers practiced adequate IYCF (61.1%), while more than half of the children were classified as underweight (55.6%). Statistical analysis showed a significant association between IYCF practices and children’s nutritional status (p = 0.007). The findings indicate that appropriate feeding practices are closely related to better nutritional outcomes in toddlers. Inadequate feeding behaviors may contribute to undernutrition despite the availability of food, highlighting the importance of caregiver knowledge and skills in feeding management. This study underscores the importance of Infant and Young Child Feeding practices in relation to the nutritional status of children aged 6–24 months. The findings support the need for strengthened nutrition education and community-based feeding efforts to promote optimal child growth.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer with a stoma impacts the patient's physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being. It requires long-term adaptation in self-care, often leading to a decrease in motivation. This study aims to assess the effect of Motivational Interviewing (MI) interventions on enhancing motivation, knowledge, and self-care in colorectal cancer patients with a stoma. The case study involved 10 patients selected through purposive sampling in Dharmais Cancer Hospital. The participants received two structured MI sessions (15-60 minutes). Participants were provided with a health booklet and a daily activity plan book. Data analysis used descriptive univariate statistics and the Framework Method. The average motivation score increased from 49.3 to 56.7 after the first session and to 61.2 after the second session. The highest score was in the domain of value/usefulness, while the lowest was in the domain of interest/enjoyment. Self-care knowledge improved from "Sufficient" (55%) to "Good" (75%). Self-care practices also improved, with stoma care increasing (10% to 70%), nutrition (100%), and exercise (20% to 80%). Intimate relations are only the "rarely" category (20%). Motivational Interviewing (MI) enhances motivation, knowledge, and self-care scores in colorectal cancer patients with a stoma. However, intimate relations remain limited. The study recommends the routine application of MI in nursing practice. Future studies should include larger sample sizes and focus on patients with limited family support and more diverse characteristics.
