Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that is rapidly increasing globally and is associated with a high risk of peripheral arterial complications. The Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) is a simple and reliable tool for screening peripheral arterial disease, while foot exercise represents a practical, low-cost, and non-pharmacological intervention to improve peripheral perfusion. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of foot exercise in improving ABI values among hospitalized patients with DM. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was implemented with 26 purposively selected inpatients with DM. Participants performed standardized foot exercises once daily for 15 minutes over two consecutive days. ABI values were measured using a sphygmomanometer and vascular Doppler before and after the intervention, and data were analyzed using a paired t-test. The mean ABI significantly increased from 0.707 (SD = 0.031) to 0.884 (SD = 0.027) (p < 0.001), indicating a clinically meaningful improvement from moderate impairment to near-normal circulation. These results demonstrate that foot exercise is effective in improving ABI values among hospitalized DM patients. The study highlights foot exercise as a safe, simple, and non-pharmacological nursing intervention that can be recommended in inpatient care settings to improve peripheral perfusion and prevent further complications related to peripheral arterial disease. This intervention offers a promising approach to managing peripheral arterial complications in diabetic patients

Femoral fractures resulting from road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a major cause of morbidity in developing countries, particularly among economically active young adults. Despite the increasing rate of RTAs in Nigeria, there is a lack of localized data concerning the radiographic distribution and epidemiological characteristics of femoral fractures. This study provides region-specific baseline data for clinical decision-making and public health interventions. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted using patient case notes and radiographic records of 141 individuals with femoral fractures resulting from RTAs, presented at Erichris Diagnostic Centre, Benin City, between January 2019 and December 2022. Radiographs were evaluated to determine fracture location (proximal, middle, or distal third). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20, and results were presented using descriptive and inferential statistics. Associations between fracture type, age, and gender were examined using Chi-square tests with significance set at p < 0.05. The majority of patients were males (87.2%) and within the 16–30-year age group (72.3%), with a mean age of 31.6 years. The right femur was affected in 55.3% of cases. Middle third femoral shaft fractures were the most prevalent (63.8%), followed by proximal (26.3%) and distal fractures (9.9%). There was no statistically significant association between gender and fracture type (p > 0.05) or between age group and fracture type (p > 0.05). This study demonstrates a high incidence of middle shaft femoral fractures among young adult males due to RTAs in Benin City. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted road safety policies, improved trauma care infrastructure, and preventive strategies directed at high-risk groups. The data provided serve as a critical reference for orthopedic management and public health planning.

Family planning represents a community-based effort to promote awareness and participation through delaying the age of marriage, regulating births, strengthening family resilience, and improving family welfare to achieve small, joyful, and prosperous families (Suriana et al., 2021). The government targets Couples of Reproductive Age (CRA) to reduce population growth in Indonesia, as CRA consists of legally married couples who actively engage in sexual relations that may result in pregnancy. In addition to CRA, postpartum mothers also serve as a key target group in family planning programs. The “Four Too” components contribute to high-risk pregnancies that may lead to complications during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, and maternal and infant mortality. These include being too young (under 20 years), too old (over 35 years), too many children (more than four), and too close birth spacing (less than two years) (Oktarina, 2022). This study employed a quantitative research design, specifically an analytical quantitative approach with a correlational design using the cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 40 participants. The results show that 45% of respondents had a satisfactory level of knowledge about IUD contraception, 32.5% had a moderate level, and 22.5% had a low level of knowledge. In nursing practice, increasing knowledge about contraception—particularly IUD family planning—can enhance interest in its use. Moreover, the study recommends that husbands provide support for mothers in using IUD contraception.

Despite global efforts, maternal mortality remains a critical public health challenge. A major contributing factor is the delay in recognizing and responding to obstetric emergencies. A pregnant woman's awareness of potential danger signs and her subsequent proactive attitude toward early detection are considered pivotal in facilitating timely and life-saving healthcare access. This study was undertaken to investigate the direct correlation between the level of knowledge pregnant women possess regarding pregnancy danger signs and their attitude toward the early identification of maternal emergencies.This research utilized an analytic survey design, a cross-sectional approach. The study sample was drawn using accidental sampling, comprising 110 pregnant women. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed statistically using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The descriptive analysis revealed a positive outcome regarding knowledge: the majority of participants (70) demonstrated a sufficient level of knowledge about pregnancy danger signs. However, this did not translate into a desired behavioral disposition, as a majority of participants (40) simultaneously displayed a poor attitude toward the early detection of maternal emergencies. The inferential statistical analysis confirmed this disconnect: the Spearman Rank test yielded a calculated ρ-value (pcount) of 0.068, which was less significant than the critical ρ-table value (ptable) of 0.364. Crucially, the significance level(p=0.72) exceeded the predetermined alpha (α=0.05).The study concludes that there is no significant relationship between a pregnant woman's knowledge of obstetric danger signs and her attitude toward seeking the early detection of maternal emergencies.

Prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) remains one of the most frequently encountered obstetric complications and continues to contribute substantially to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Numerous factors have been associated with PROM; however, the available evidence presents considerable variation, highlighting the need to re-evaluate these determinants using recent empirical findings. This review aims to identify and synthesize the principal factors influencing PROM based on ten studies published within the last five years. A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using predefined keywords, followed by screening through established eligibility criteria. Relevant data from each study including study design, geographical setting, assessed risk factors, and statistical outcomes such as odds ratios or relative risks were extracted and compared. The review indicates that reproductive and urinary tract infections, inadequate nutritional status, high-risk obstetric history, and short interpregnancy intervals consistently emerge as major determinants. Social factors and the quality of antenatal services were also shown to heighten the likelihood of PROM. Overall, the findings emphasize that PROM arises from a combination of medical and non-medical influences, reinforcing the need for preventive strategies that adopt a comprehensive and integrated approach.

This study explores the integration of green practices into nursing protocols as a means of reducing the environmental impact of hospital care. Hospitals significantly contribute to global carbon emissions, and nursing practices are integral to healthcare operations, yet they often lack sustainability considerations. The aim of this research was to develop and implement a set of green-practice guidelines tailored for nursing staff to minimize carbon emissions and improve operational efficiency. Through collaboration with environmental experts, nursing staff, and hospital management, new guidelines were established focusing on waste reduction, energy-efficient practices, and sustainable procurement. A waste-audit assessment was conducted to analyze current waste management practices, while a pilot implementation was carried out in selected hospital wards. The results revealed an 18% reduction in carbon emissions following the integration of these green practices into daily nursing activities. Key contributors to this reduction included waste segregation, the use of reusable medical supplies, and energy conservation measures such as optimizing lighting and HVAC systems. However, challenges such as resistance to change, resource limitations, and the need for specialized training were identified during the pilot phase. Despite these barriers, the research highlights the significant potential for nurses to lead sustainability efforts in healthcare settings. The findings indicate that integrating green practices into nursing protocols can provide environmental, operational, and economic benefits, ultimately contributing to more sustainable healthcare systems. Future research should refine these protocols, explore their broader application, and assess long-term outcomes across various healthcare settings

This study evaluates the impact of an AI-driven nutritional monitoring system in hospital settings, focusing on its effectiveness in reducing food waste and improving the accuracy of dietary assessments. Traditional food waste management and nutritional tracking methods in hospitals often suffer from inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and time constraints. In contrast, the AI-based system utilizes advanced technologies, including 3D scanners, digital scales, and image recognition, to optimize food production, minimize waste, and provide more accurate and timely nutritional assessments. The results of this study show a 31% reduction in food waste and a 40% improvement in the accuracy of nutritional assessments after implementing the AI system. This system enhances meal planning, portion control, and real-time tracking of food intake, offering personalized recommendations based on patient needs. The AI system also streamlines the nutritional assessment process, reducing labor-intensive procedures and providing real-time feedback to clinicians, which helps improve patient care and reduce errors associated with traditional methods. Furthermore, the environmental and financial implications of adopting AI technologies in healthcare are significant. The reduction in food waste not only helps lower hospital costs but also contributes to sustainability goals by reducing resource consumption, including water, land, and energy. This study underscores the potential of AI-driven systems to improve healthcare operations, support sustainability, and enhance patient outcomes. Future research should focus on expanding the application of AI in other healthcare sectors and further exploring its integration with other technologies for comprehensive healthcare solutions.

This study investigates the effectiveness of green-space–based interventions in reducing eco-anxiety among urban adolescents, a population increasingly vulnerable to climate-related psychological distress. Eco-anxiety, characterized by persistent worry, cognitive overload, and emotional tension in response to environmental change, has emerged as a significant mental-health challenge. The intervention examined in this research involved structured exposure to natural environments combined with guided reflective activities over multiple sessions. Quantitative results showed a substantial reduction in eco-anxiety symptoms, with participants experiencing approximately a 30% decrease in climate-related worry after the intervention. Improvements were also observed in emotional resilience, including enhanced self-regulation, greater cognitive clarity, and improved coping capacity. Qualitative findings reinforced these outcomes, revealing that participants reported deeper emotional calm, stronger feelings of agency, and an increased sense of connectedness with nature. They described green spaces as restorative environments that helped reduce overthinking, clear mental fatigue, and create psychological grounding. These experiences appear to activate mental-restoration processes consistent with environmental psychology, suggesting that nature engagement can serve as both a preventive and therapeutic mental-health strategy. A comparison with conventional counseling approaches indicated that while standard psychological support aids emotional regulation, it often fails to address the specific ecological concerns driving eco-anxiety. In contrast, green-space exposure offers a more targeted and holistic benefit, combining physiological relaxation with meaningful emotional reassurance. The study concludes that expanding access to green spaces, incorporating nature-based therapeutic elements into public-health programs, and promoting balanced climate literacy may enhance adolescent well-being in a time of intensifying environmental challenges.

Healthcare waste (HCW) is a significant environmental and public health concern due to its hazardous nature, particularly the presence of emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and pathogens. The improper disposal and management of healthcare waste contribute to pollution and pose long-term risks to both human health and ecosystems. This study examines the toxicity risks associated with HCW in areas near healthcare facilities with inadequate waste management practices, showing an increase in toxicity risks by 22% to 30%. The research develops a cumulative risk assessment model that integrates human exposure with ecological risks, considering both direct and synergistic effects of pollutants. The model incorporates various components, including pollutant analysis, bioaccumulation mapping, and long-term exposure modeling, to assess the environmental and health risks of HCW. The findings highlight that inadequate waste management leads to significant pollutant accumulation in local ecosystems, with direct implications for biodiversity and human health. Additionally, the study emphasizes the benefits of applying the One-Health approach, which considers the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, offering a more integrated understanding of the risks posed by HCW pollutants. The research advocates for the incorporation of the One-Health model in healthcare waste management policies to mitigate risks and improve sustainability. Future studies should refine the cumulative risk assessment model and expand it to encompass other environmental waste sources, providing a more comprehensive understanding of pollutant impacts and advancing mitigation strategies.
