Abstract

The results of a preliminary study conducted on nurses at Pandan Arang Hospital, Boyolali Regency, showed that 80% of nurses who handled COVID-19 patients had been confirmed positive for COVID-19. 75% of them experience work stress, preliminary survey results show that concerns about being infected with COVID 19 and increasing workloads are the main factors for work stress among nurses. This study aims to analyze what factors are related to work stress in nurses who provide services to COVID-19 patients at Pandan Arang Boyolali Regional Hospital. The study utilized a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 76 nurses in the COVID-19 care unit determined through total sampling. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires, and data analysis was performed using bivariate analysis. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that job conflict (B = 1.636, p < 0.001) and family conflict (B = 0.634, p < 0.001) had a significant effect on work stress, while age, gender, and education level did not show a significant relationship with work stress (p > 0.05). The practical implication of this study is the importance of managing job conflict to reduce work stress.

Abstract

The aim of this inquiry was to examine the relationship between contact history with suspected COVID-19 patients and the level of psychological distress among nurses at Hospital X, Demak Regency. A retrospective survey was conducted involving 60 nurses, representing the entire nursing population at the hospital. The analysis showed that contact history with suspected COVID-19 patients was associated with depression. The P-value is 0.008, the anxiety level shows a P-value of 0.004, the stress level shows a P-value of 0.0027, PTSD shows a P-value of 1.000. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant relationship, namely anxietyas many as 62.5% experienced moderate anxiety. Nurses in the Emergency Department showed a high rate of PTSD, at 41.7%. Furthermore, factors such as gender, age, and length of service were also statistically associated with contact history with suspected COVID-19 patients. A statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation between contact history with suspected COVID-19 patients and PTSD levels in nurses. These findings provide important insights into the potential psychological impact on nurses who have had contact with suspected COVID-19 patients. In the real world, this research can help develop plans to support nurses' mental well-being during the pandemic.

Abstract

Wasting stunting (WaSt) is a condition in which wasting and stunting occur in a child at the same time. In Indonesia, the prevalence of WaSt was 2.4% among children 6 to 59 months in 2021 (Jokhu & Syauqy, 2024).  Research on factors related to WaSt has not been widely conducted in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to find out the factors associated with WaSt among toddlers aged 6–23 months in Indonesia. This study is analytical research with a cross sectional design using SSGI 2022 data. The population in this study is all toddlers among SSGI 2022 respondents. The sample in this study is toddlers aged 6–23 months in Indonesia. The sampling technique used was the total sample. The sample in this study was 41257 toddlers (6–23 months). The prevalence of stunting, wasting, underweight, and WaSt was 16.1%, 7.62%, 11.8%, and 1.15%, respectively. Variables related to the incidence of wasting stunting (WaSt) were diarrhea (PR = 1,331), pneumonia (PR = 2,599), pulmonary tuberculosis (PR = 4,048), birth weight (PR = 4,571), birth length (PR = 2,437), mothers' education level (PR = 1,213), and mothers' work (PR = 1,525). Factors related to WaSt among toddlers aged 6–23 months in Indonesia are diarrhea, pneumonia, pulmonary TB, birth weight, birth body length, maternal education level, and maternal employment.

Abstract

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Grobogan Regency remains high, with Antenatal Care (ANC) coverage falling short of national targets. The Wirosari II Health Center reports particularly low K6 coverage at 37.92%. This study evaluates ANC service implementation at Purwodadi I and Wirosari II Health Centers to provide improvement recommendations. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with midwives, maternal and child health workers, and pregnant women. Data validation was conducted via triangulation, and analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model. Findings reveal adequate human resources, but uneven health worker training. Infrastructure is sufficient, though equipment damage hinders Wirosari II. Service procedures align with standards, but SOP violations and limited nutrition personnel were noted in Purwodadi I. While K1 and K4 targets are achieved in Purwodadi I, Wirosari II struggles with recording and networking issues. Overall, ANC implementation in Purwodadi I is effective, while Wirosari II requires improvements in data recording, health worker training, and resource management. These findings provide actionable recommendations to enhance maternal health services in Grobogan Regency.

Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, often resulting in impaired motor function and reduced independence in daily activities. Innovative and engaging rehabilitation strategies are urgently needed to improve patient outcomes and adherence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an occupational game console in improving functional abilities among stroke patients. A quasi-experimental study was conducted at RSUD Dr. Adhyatma, MPH, Semarang, between March and June 2024, involving 30 stroke patients aged 30–70 years. All participants completed in a 4-week rehabilitation program without a control group. They received structured therapy using an occupational game console designed to enhance motor coordination, muscle strength, and independence. Functional improvements were measured using the Barthel Index (BI), Manual Muscle Test (MMT), and Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT). Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests with a significance level set at p < 0.05. The participants included 18 males (60%) and 12 females (40%). Most were in the 51 60 years age group (40.0%), followed by 41–50 years (26.7%), and smaller proportions in 30–40 years (16.7%) and 61–70 years (16.7%). In term of stroke duration, 56.7% had experienced a stroke for 5–8 months, 23.3% for 0–4 months, and 20.0% for 9–12 months. The results showed significant improvements in functional outcomes, with BI scores increasing from 45 (moderate dependence) to 65 (mild dependence), MMT scores improving from 3/5 to 4/5, and NHPT times decreasing from 120 to 90 seconds (p < 0.01). Additionally, 85% of patients reported higher motivation and engagement due to the console’s interactive and gamified features. Occupational game consoles demonstrate promising potential as innovative and accessible tools to support stroke rehabilitation by enhancing motor function, independence, and patient engagement. Future studies should include randomized controlled trials with larger samples and longer durations to assess long-term effectiveness and broader clinical applications.

Abstract

Stroke is a serious disease that occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either due to a blockage in the blood vessels (ischemic stroke) or a rupture of the blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). This condition can cause brain cell death in a short period of time and is at risk of causing permanent disability. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the occurrence of stroke in hypertensive patients at RSU William Booth Semarang. This research is a quantitative study with a nested case-control design, using electronic medical record data from RSU William Booth Semarang in 2023. The variables in this study are age, gender, blood sugar levels, total cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, HDL levels, LDL levels, uric acid levels, and a history of heart disease. The analysis used includes univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with chi-square test. The variables that are statistically significant are age (p=0.005), gender (p=0.021), random blood sugar levels (p=0.010), total cholesterol levels (p=0.009), triglyceride levels (p=0.034), HDL blood levels (p=0.049), LDL blood levels (p=0.034), and history of heart disease (p=0.023). The conclusion of this study is that early detection and management of risk factors, especially blood pressure control and cholesterol levels, are very important in preventing stroke. Educating the public about healthy lifestyles can also help reduce the incidence of strokes in the future.
