Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, with high morbidity and mortality rates occurring annually. One contributing factor to the increasing number of cases is the lack of knowledge among school-aged children regarding dengue prevention. To address this issue, educational interventions using interactive and engaging media such as the Dengue Cards Game have been developed to improve students’ understanding and preventive behavior toward DHF. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using the Dengue Cards Game on students’ knowledge and dengue prevention behavior at SMPN 2 Kupang Timur. Employing a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design, the study involved 34 students selected through purposive sampling. A 17-item questionnaire was used to assess knowledge and preventive behavior, and data were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge and dengue prevention behavior after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05). Prior to the education session, most students had a moderate level of knowledge (67.6%), which increased to a good level (91.2%) afterward. Therefore, the Dengue Cards Game is proven effective as an innovative and engaging educational tool to enhance students’ knowledge and preventive behavior regarding dengue fever.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem in Indonesia, including at Puskesmas Oesapa in Kupang City. One of the challenges in TB treatment is the low adherence of patients in routinely consuming Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (OAT). The use of a digital application such as My Therapy is expected to help patients remember their medication schedules and monitor their adherence. The objective is to analyze the effect of using the My Therapy digital application on medication adherence among Tuberculosis patients at Puskesmas Oesapa, Kota Kupang. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post- test approach. The sample consisted of 47 Tuberculosis patients who were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data was collected using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed- Rank Test because the data was not normally distributed. The results showed that the average medication adherence score increased after the intervention using the My Therapy application. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference in adherence levels before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The use of the My Therapy digital application is effective in improving medication adherence among Tuberculosis patients at Puskesmas Oesapa, Kota Kupang. This application is expected to be a supportive innovation in efforts to control TB in then community.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) in children is a public health challenge that requires special attention, especially due to low levels of family compliance with treatment. This non-compliance risks treatment failure, recurrence, and drug resistance, which are dangerous for children. The role of the family as the primary caregiver is significant in ensuring optimal treatment. Swanson's caring theory, which emphasizes empathy and emotional support, is considered capable of increasing family compliance in accompanying children during TB treatment. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Swanson's caring behavioral approach on TB treatment compliance in families with children suffering from TB at the Ende Regional General Hospital Pediatric Clinic. The method is quantitative, with a quasi-experimental design featuring a one-group pre-test and post-test design. A total of 30 families were selected using purposive sampling. The intervention was carried out for 12 days through the five dimensions of Swanson's caring, namely maintaining belief, knowing, being with, doing for, and enabling. The measurement instrument uses the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) questionnaire to assess treatment adherence before and after the intervention. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The study showed a significant increase in the level of family adherence in providing TB treatment to children after the Swanson caring intervention (p < 0.05). The application of the Swanson caring behavioral approach was effective in increasing TB treatment adherence in children, so it can be recommended as a family-based intervention strategy to improve the success of TB therapy in children at health facilities.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a common non-communicable disease among the elderly and can lead to various complications. One of the frequent consequences is impaired body balance, which increases the risk of falls and reduces quality of life. Age-related physiological changes, such as decreased muscle strength and reduced vascular elasticity, contribute to balance instability. The combination of balance exercise and tandem walking exercise may be an effective intervention to improve balance in elderly individuals with hypertension. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a combination of balance exercise and tandem walking exercise in improving body balance among elderly patients with hypertension. This pre-experimental study used a one-group pre-test and post-test design and was conducted in the Bandongan Primary Health Care Center area, Magelang, from January to June 2025. The population consisted of 527 elderly individuals with hypertension aged ≥ 60 years, and 45 participants were selected using purposive sampling. Body balance was assessed using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and the Wilcoxon test. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant improvement in body balance after the intervention. The combination of balance exercise and tandem walking exercise is effective in improving body balance among elderly patients with hypertension.

Abstract

Pulmonary TB is a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment with medication and causes physical impacts. Treatment adherence is influenced by the level of knowledge, family support, self-management, self-stigma, and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is essential during treatment to increase self-confidence in managing and caring for oneself. One effort to increase self-efficacy is by providing adequate information regarding self-care methods through Management Self-Care education. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of management self-care education on self-efficacy in pulmonary TB patients. The research design used a pre-experimental approach with a one-group pre-post test approach. The sample consisted of 16 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used a questionnaire Guide for constructing self-efficacy scale (GFCSES). The average pretest score was categorized as moderate (35.25) with the lowest score of 31, the highest score of 42, and a standard deviation of 2.97. Meanwhile, the average posttest score was categorized as high (47.06), with the lowest score being 45, the highest score being 50, and a standard deviation of 1.73. Analysis using a paired sample t-test showed a p-value of 0.00 (<α 0.05). This indicates that self-care management has an effect on self-efficacy in pulmonary TB patients in the Gunung Sari Community Health Center work area in 2024.

Abstract

Enterobiasis is an infectious disease caused by Oxyuris vermicularis (Enterobius vermicularis) or pinworms and is a non-STH (non-Soil Transmitted Helminth) intestinal worm that can move from one individual to another without the need for transmission through the soil and is widespread in children and toddlers. In Indonesia, the prevalence of Enterobiasis is quite high, this is because Indonesia is a country with a tropical climate, high temperature, humidity, social economic factors and poor sanitation, making it suitable for the development of pinworms. Children with poor hygiene behavior (PHBS), such as rarely changing underwear, and not washing hands after the toilet are at risk of contracting pinworms. Children who live around the coast still have a lack of knowledge of the importance of maintaining personal hygiene and also a lack of knowledge about the dangers of helminthiasis and the examination and treatment of helminthiasis. The method used in this study is descriptive. Respondents in this study included 24 people with the number of female respondents at 54% and men at 46%. The results of Enterobius vermicularis examination in children aged 3-9 years living in the coastal area of Lasiana beach obtained 21% of children positive for enterobiasis and 79% of children negative for Enterobiasis. The level of parental knowledge, environmental sanitation conditions, and children's personal hygiene is pretty good
