Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension remains a major public health problem globally, particularly among pre-elderly adults (aged 45–59 years), who are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Both genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, play crucial roles in determining hypertension risk. Understanding how family history interacts with physical activity can provide valuable insights for prevention strategies among this population. Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the association between family history of hypertension and physical activity with the prevalence of hypertension in pre-elderly adults. A total of 240 respondents aged 45–59 years were selected using stratified random sampling from community health centers. Data on blood pressure were collected through standardized sphygmomanometer measurements. Family history was determined based on self-reported parental or sibling hypertension. Physical activity level was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and categorized as low, moderate, or high. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The prevalence of hypertension among respondents was 37.5%. A significant association was found between family history and hypertension (p < 0.001), with individuals having a positive family history showing 3.2 times higher odds of hypertension (AOR = 3.24; 95% CI: 1.85–5.68). Physical activity also demonstrated a significant inverse association (p = 0.002), where participants with high activity levels had a 56% lower risk of hypertension compared to those with low activity (AOR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.25–0.78). Interaction analysis indicated that physically active individuals with a family history still had a reduced risk compared to inactive counterparts. Conclusion: Family history of hypertension and physical activity were significantly associated with hypertension among pre-elderly adults. A positive family history increases the risk, while regular physical activity offers a protective effect. Health promotion programs targeting lifestyle modification and routine blood pressure screening are recommended to prevent early onset of hypertension in this age group.

Abstract

Introduction: Community health workers (CHWs) are critical in expanding access to primary healthcare, particularly in underserved areas. Despite their essential role, CHWs often face challenges such as inadequate supervision, limited feedback, and lack of professional development. Supportive supervision, which emphasizes mentorship, joint problem-solving, and performance improvement, has emerged as a key strategy to strengthen CHW effectiveness and retention. Methods: This scoping review followed Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Relevant literature published between 2010 and 2025 was systematically searched in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Studies focusing on supportive supervision models, strategies, or outcomes for CHWs were included. Data were extracted and synthesized thematically to identify supervision approaches, implementation factors, and impacts on CHW performance. Results: Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings revealed that supportive supervision enhances CHW motivation, service quality, and community trust. Effective supervision models were characterized by regular feedback, participatory monitoring, and peer learning. Barriers included insufficient resources, supervisor workload, and weak institutional support. Digital tools and community-based supervision showed promise in improving supervision frequency and data-driven decision-making. Conclusion: Supportive supervision plays a pivotal role in strengthening the performance and sustainability of CHW programs. Integrating structured, participatory, and technology-assisted supervision mechanisms into health systems can foster CHW empowerment, accountability, and long-term impact.

Abstract

Introduction: Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among children, particularly in developing countries. It often results in respiratory distress due to mucus accumulation and inflammation. Chest physiotherapy is a non-pharmacological intervention that helps mobilize bronchial secretions, improve lung ventilation, and reduce respiratory effort. Methods: This case study was conducted on two hospitalized preschool-aged children (3–6 years old) diagnosed with ARI at Sandi Karsa Hospital, Makassar. Chest physiotherapy consisting of percussion, vibration, and postural drainage was administered once daily for three consecutive days. Respiratory rate was measured before and after each intervention session using a stopwatch and observation sheet. Results: The findings revealed a consistent decrease in respiratory rate following each physiotherapy session. Both patients showed an average reduction of 2–3 breaths per minute after therapy, indicating improved respiratory stability. The children also demonstrated decreased signs of dyspnea and greater comfort after treatment. No adverse effects were observed during or after the intervention. These results suggest that chest physiotherapy effectively facilitates mucus clearance, enhances ventilation, and stabilizes breathing frequency in pediatric ARI patients. Conclusion: Chest physiotherapy is an effective and safe non-invasive nursing intervention for improving respiratory rate stability in children with ARI. Its implementation can be integrated into hospital nursing care protocols as supportive therapy to accelerate recovery and enhance patient comfort, particularly in managing mild to moderate respiratory infections.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy remains a significant public health problem, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. This case study describes midwifery care for a 23-year-old woman at 38 weeks and 4 days of gestation diagnosed with moderate anemia (hemoglobin 8 g/dL) at PMB Suryanti, Makassar. According to the Ministry of Health standards, the study applied the midwifery care management process, including assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, evaluation, and documentation. Data were collected through interviews, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. The main complaints were fatigue and dizziness, with pale conjunctiva and lips as clinical findings. Midwifery interventions included providing health education about balanced nutrition, rest, and personal hygiene and administering iron supplements (Fe 200 mg), vitamin C, B-complex, and calcium lactate. After consistent care and follow-up, the hemoglobin level increased to 9.5 g/dL, and the pregnancy continued normally until term. This case demonstrates that comprehensive antenatal midwifery care, focusing on early detection, nutritional counseling, and compliance with iron supplementation, effectively improves maternal hemoglobin levels and prevents complications. The study emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and health education for pregnant women to reduce the incidence of anemia and ensure maternal and fetal well-being

Abstract

Introduction: Global health challenges are becoming increasingly complex as they are shaped by the dynamic interaction of biomedical, social, economic, environmental, and political determinants. Persistent health inequities, fragile health systems, and emerging global threats have demonstrated the limitations of conventional discipline-specific approaches. Although interdisciplinary approaches are widely promoted as essential for addressing these challenges, there remains a lack of empirically grounded frameworks that clearly operationalize interdisciplinarity in global health practice. Methods: This study employed a qualitative research design using an interpretive descriptive approach to explore how interdisciplinary collaboration is understood, practiced, and sustained in global health contexts. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 50 purposively selected stakeholders representing diverse disciplinary backgrounds, including public health, clinical practice, social sciences, economics, environmental health, and policy. Participants were selected based on their professional experience and involvement in interdisciplinary global health initiatives. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, applying both inductive and deductive coding to identify recurring patterns, relationships, and key themes that informed the development of an interdisciplinary framework. Results: Six core themes emerged from the analysis. Global health was understood as a complex, multidimensional system that requires integrated approaches across disciplines. Interdisciplinarity was perceived as both a mindset and a practical process, emphasizing shared problem framing, complementary disciplinary contributions, and iterative knowledge integration. Inclusive leadership and supportive institutional and policy environments were identified as critical enablers of effective collaboration, while structural silos, disciplinary hierarchies, and power imbalances remained persistent barriers. These findings demonstrate that interdisciplinarity in global health is a practical necessity rather than a purely conceptual ideal. Conclusion: This study concludes that strengthening global health outcomes requires the institutionalization of interdisciplinary approaches that integrate diverse forms of knowledge, promote shared problem framing, and address power imbalances across disciplines. The proposed empirically grounded framework offers a practical foundation for advancing integrated, context-sensitive, sustainable, and scalable global health solutions across diverse settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Contraceptive compliance is a key determinant of the effectiveness of family planning programs. Inadequate compliance may lead to contraceptive failure, unintended pregnancy, and reduced confidence in family planning services. Knowledge level is considered an important factor influencing compliance; however, empirical evidence linking knowledge to contraceptive compliance remains limited, particularly in primary health care settings. This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge level and contraceptive compliance among family planning acceptors. Methods: A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at selected primary health care facilities. The study involved 50 women of reproductive age who were active family planning acceptors. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge of contraception, and contraceptive compliance. Knowledge levels were categorised as low, moderate, or high, while the correct and consistent use of contraceptive methods and adherence to follow-up schedules were used to assess compliance. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and chi-square tests, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: 44.0% of respondents had a high level of knowledge, 36.0% had moderate knowledge, and 20.0% had low knowledge. Overall, 62.0% of respondents were compliant with contraceptive use. A statistically significant relationship was found between knowledge level and contraceptive compliance (p = 0.012). Respondents with high knowledge levels demonstrated the highest compliance rate (81.8%), while non-compliance was most prevalent among those with low knowledge levels (70.0%). Conclusion: Knowledge level is significantly associated with contraceptive compliance among family planning acceptors. Strengthening structured and client-centred educational and counselling interventions is essential to improve contraceptive compliance and enhance the effectiveness of family planning programs

Abstract

Introduction: The increasing complexity in healthcare systems demands integrated, collaborative approaches to patient care. Interdisciplinary nursing care models have been promoted to enhance care coordination, patient safety, and quality outcomes. However, limited qualitative evidence exists regarding how these models are understood, implemented, and experienced by nurses in clinical practice. This study aimed to explore interdisciplinary nursing care models from nurses’ perspectives, focusing on roles, communication processes, facilitators, barriers, and perceived impacts on patient care and professional development. Methods: A qualitative clinical study was conducted in selected clinical units of a tertiary healthcare facility. Purposive sampling was used to recruit registered nurses with at least one year of clinical experience and active involvement in interdisciplinary care. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Trustworthiness was ensured through member checking, audit trails, and reflexive practices. Results: Seven major themes emerged: understanding of interdisciplinary nursing care, nurses’ roles and responsibilities, communication and collaboration, facilitators of interdisciplinary care, barriers to interdisciplinary care, impact on patient care outcomes, and professional development and learning. Effective communication and collaboration were identified as the most critical elements supporting interdisciplinary care. Nurses played central roles as care coordinators, contributing to improved care quality, patient safety, and patient-centered outcomes. Organizational support and mutual respect facilitated collaboration, while hierarchical structures, role ambiguity, and workload constraints were identified as key barriers. Conclusion: Interdisciplinary nursing care models are strongly influenced by communication quality, recognition of nurses’ professional roles, and organizational support. Despite existing barriers, effective interdisciplinary collaboration enhances patient outcomes and supports continuous professional development. Strengthening structured interprofessional communication and supportive organizational policies is essential for sustainable interdisciplinary nursing practice.
