Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a common chronic condition among the elderly that requires long-term pharmacological management. Medication adherence is crucial in maintaining blood pressure control and preventing complications. One psychological determinant that plays an important role is self-efficacy, which refers to an individual's belief in their ability to perform specific behaviors, including adhering to prescribed medication regimens. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and medication adherence among elderly patients with hypertension. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional quantitative design. A total of 100 elderly hypertensive patients were selected using purposive sampling at Public Health Center X. Data were collected using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test. Results: The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of self-efficacy (58%) and a moderate level of medication adherence (62%). A significant relationship was found between self-efficacy and medication adherence (p = 0.001; r = 0.462), indicating a moderate positive correlation. Conclusions: Self-efficacy is significantly and positively associated with medication adherence in elderly patients with hypertension. Enhancing self-efficacy through health education, family support, and interdisciplinary interventions is essential for improving hypertension management among the elderly

Abstract

Introduction: Bartholin cysts are common in women of reproductive age and may cause significant pain, particularly when infection or abscess formation occurs. Pain management is typically approached through pharmacological and surgical interventions. However, non-pharmacological methods such as deep breathing relaxation (DBR) have emerged as promising complementary strategies. This scoping review aims to identify and map the scientific evidence related to the application of deep breathing relaxation techniques for pain management in patients with Bartholin cysts.. Methods: The review followed the Arksey and O’Malley framework. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar using keywords including “Bartholin cyst,” “deep breathing,” and “pain management.” Eligible studies were screened and analyzed descriptively. Results: A total of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental designs, and observational studies. Most studies reported that DBR techniques such as diaphragmatic and paced breathing effectively reduced pain intensity, enhanced patient comfort, and decreased anxiety prior to procedures for Bartholin cyst treatment. Conclusions: Deep breathing relaxation techniques represent a promising non-pharmacological approach for managing pain in Bartholin cyst patients. These methods are simple, non-invasive, and capable of improving the overall care experience. Further high-quality studies are needed to strengthen the evidence base for their effectiveness in this specific clinical context

Abstract

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during the first six months of life plays a crucial role in infant survival, growth, and development. However, the global rates of EBF remain below the recommended targets. Pregnant women's classes are designed to provide education, support, and skills necessary for successful breastfeeding practices. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of pregnant women's classes on the success rate of exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group was employed. The study involved 120 pregnant women in their third trimester, selected through purposive sampling from two community health centers. The intervention group (n=60) participated in a structured pregnant women's class, while the control group (n=60) received standard antenatal care without additional classes. Data on breastfeeding practices were collected three months postpartum using structured interviews and analyzed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: The study found a significantly higher rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the intervention group (78.3%) compared to the control group (53.3%) (p<0.01). Attendance in the pregnant women's class was associated with a 2.9 times higher likelihood of practicing exclusive breastfeeding (OR=2.9; 95% CI: 1.5–5.6). Key factors contributing to success included increased maternal knowledge, self-efficacy, and support from health educators during the antenatal period. Conclusions: Participation in pregnant women's classes effectively increases the success rate of exclusive breastfeeding. Integrating structured breastfeeding education into routine antenatal care is recommended to improve maternal practices and promote better health outcomes for infants

Abstract

Introduction: Pain is a common issue experienced by school-aged children undergoing invasive procedures such as venipuncture, injection, or catheter insertion. Inadequate pain management may lead to anxiety, fear of hospitals, and long-term behavioral changes. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of nursing interventions in reducing pain levels among school-aged children during invasive procedures. Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group. A total of 60 children aged 7–12 years who underwent invasive procedures in a pediatric ward were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention group received non-pharmacological pain management techniques such as deep breathing, distraction, and cold compresses, while the control group received standard care. Pain levels were measured using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale before and after the procedure. Results: The results showed a significant decrease in pain scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Children who received the nursing interventions reported lower pain intensity and showed improved coping behaviors during the procedure. Conclusions: Nursing interventions utilizing non-pharmacological techniques are effective in reducing pain levels in school-aged children undergoing invasive procedures. It is suggested that pediatric nurses incorporate these interventions as standard practice to enhance the quality of care and comfort for pediatric patients.

Abstract

Introduction: The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly transformed health information systems (HIS) worldwide. Health analysts, as key professionals in managing health data, play a crucial role in the integration and utilization of these digital tools. However, the extent, effectiveness, and challenges of this integration remain underexplored across different healthcare contexts. This systematic review aims to examine the integration of digital technology by health analysts within health information systems, focusing on the types of technologies adopted, the roles played by health analysts, the benefits gained, and the challenges encountered during implementation. Methods: Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we conducted a systematic search of peer-reviewed articles published between 2013 and 2025 from databases including PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Keywords used included “health analyst”, “digital technology”, “health information system”, and “integration”. Eligible studies included primary research involving health analysts and the application of digital health technologies. Results: From an initial pool of 1,274 articles, 28 studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings reveal that health analysts have been instrumental in integrating technologies such as Electronic Health Records (EHR), Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), data analytics platforms, and mobile health applications. The integration has led to improved data accuracy, faster reporting, and enhanced decision-making support. Nonetheless, several challenges were identified, including lack of digital training, infrastructure limitations, and regulatory gaps. Conclusions: The integration of digital technologies by health analysts significantly enhances the performance of health information systems. However, successful adoption requires continuous professional development, supportive policies, and robust digital infrastructure. Future efforts should focus on strengthening the digital competencies of health analysts and aligning technology integration with national health strategies.
