Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls is a public health problem due to iron deficiency triggered by menstruation and rapid growth, with a high prevalence in Junior High School students in Boyolali so that it requires a Blood Supplement Tablet (TTD) supplementation program for prevention. This study aims to analyze the relationship between teacher and peer support for TTD consumption compliance in grade VII students of Junior High School 1, 2, and 6 Boyolali in 2025. The study used a cross-sectional observational analytical design with a sample of 170 female students selected proportionate random sampling from a population of 373 female students aged 12-14 years; data collected through a validated 39-item Likert questionnaire (Cronbach alpha 0.804-0.954) measuring emotional, informational, judgmental, instrumental, and TTD adherence support; univariate analysis for frequency and bivariate distribution of Chi-Square with α=0.05. Univariate results showed equal teacher support (poor 50.6%; good 49.4%), poor peer support (51.2%), low obedience (non-compliance 57.6%; compliance 42.4%). The results of the analysis showed that there was a relationship of teacher support (p=0.000; 95% CI 2.30-8.207) and peer support (p=0.000; CI 95% 1.552-5.482) on TTD consumption adherence. Therefore, there is a need to develop a school-based TTD intervention model that prioritizes the role of teachers and peers.

Abstract

Fire incidents in hospitals pose serious risks to patient safety, medical personnel, and the continuity of health services. Therefore, the readiness of fire protection systems is critical to enhancing safety in healthcare facilities. This study aims to evaluate the readiness of the fire protection system in the Pediatric Inpatient and Surgical Building of Ngudi Waluyo Wlingi Hospital, using the Building Safety System Reliability Value assessment method based on the Ministry of Public Works' Fire Protection Technical Guidelines. The assessment covers four main components: site equipment, life-saving facilities, active fire protection systems, and passive fire protection systems. Data were collected through direct observation, field measurements, and document review. The results showed that the building achieved an score of 79.23%, which falls within the sufficient category. Although the building is considered safe for use, several deficiencies were identified, particularly in active fire protection systems, life-saving facilities, and site completeness. Improvements in fire protection facilities, evacuation routes, and regular maintenance are recommended to enhance overall fire safety.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in toddlers in Indonesia and consistently represent the highest reported number of cases annually in Malang City. Mothers' knowledge and attitudes play an important role in the prevention of ARI, so education through booklet media is chosen because it is practical, attractive, and easy to understand. This study aims to determine the effect of education using booklet media on mothers' knowledge and attitudes about ARI in toddlers at the Delima Integrated Service Post RW 03 Madyopuro, Malang City. This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design and was conducted from November 6 to November 13, 2025. The population consisted of all mothers with toddlers, totaling 83 people, with a sample of 69 respondents selected using simple random sampling, and data collection was carried out using knowledge questionnaires and attitude checklists. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and Spearman test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the study showed an increase in mothers' knowledge and attitudes, indicated by a rise in the mean knowledge score from 67 to 87 and attitudes from 58 to 77 after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value < 0.001 and the Spearman test a p-value = 0.001 (< 0.05), indicating a significant effect of booklet education and a significant correlation between knowledge and attitudes. Booklet education effectively improves mothers’ knowledge and attitudes and supports promotive and preventive health efforts.

Abstract

Qigong is a traditional Chinese mind–body intervention that combines gentle movement, breathing regulation, and focused attention and has increasingly been investigated as a complementary approach to physical and mental health. This systematic review examined the impact of Qigong interventions on physical and mental health outcomes based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2010 and 2025. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar in accordance with PRISMA 2020. After screening and eligibility assessment, 30 RCTs were included and narratively synthesized because of substantial heterogeneity in populations, Qigong modalities, intervention characteristics, and outcome measures. The findings indicated generally favorable effects on blood pressure, physical function, balance, pain, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and quality of life. However, several studies reported mixed or non-significant between-group effects, indicating that the magnitude and consistency of benefits varied across populations and intervention types. Overall, Qigong appears to be a promising complementary mind–body intervention for supporting physical and mental health, although further high-quality RCTs with standardized protocols, active control conditions, and consistent effect-size reporting are needed.

Abstract

Maternal mortality remains a significant public health problem, particularly in urban areas, where various risk factors can increase the likelihood of pregnancy complications. This study aimed to analyze the distribution of pregnant women’s health risks by region in Surakarta City. A quantitative descriptive design was employed using total sampling of secondary data from the Satukan Solo website for the period January 2023 to May 2024, covering 15,687 pregnant women across five sub-districts. The analysis consisted of three stages: calculating the proportion of pregnant women at risk, identifying dominant risk factors, and comparing the distribution of risk factors among sub-districts. The results showed that the proportion of pregnant women at risk was very high across all sub-districts, ranging from 96.19% to 99.22%. The most dominant risk factors were fetal weight at risk, comorbidities, and anemia, while maternal height <140 cm, maternal age <20 years, and number of pregnancies <3 times had the lowest proportions. The distribution of risk factors varied between sub-districts. Banjarsari had comorbidities as its dominant risk factor, whereas the other four sub-districts were dominated by fetal weight at risk. These findings highlight the importance of region-based interventions and community empowerment through antenatal care education to improve early detection and reduce pregnancy complications. Targeted interventions may strengthen the utilization of maternal health services and support more effective maternal health program planning.

Abstract

Nutritional problems such as stunting remain one of the leading causes of high infant and child mortality rates in many developing countries, including Indonesia. According to data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), the national prevalence of stunting among toddlers reached 21.6%. Meanwhile, in West Java province, the prevalence was recorded at 20.2%, and in the city of Cirebon, it stood at 17%. However, local data from the Larangan Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas Larangan) indicate that there were 301 toddlers suffering from stunting in its service area in 2025. This study aims to analyze the effect of health education using audio-visual media on mothers’ knowledge levels regarding the provision of nutritious food for stunted toddlers in the service area of the Larangan Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas Larangan), Cirebon City. Research Method: A quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design was used. From a total population of 301 stunted children, a sample of 42 mother respondents was selected using stratified random sampling. Data collection was conducted via questionnaires administered before and after the intervention, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Research Results: The results showed a significant increase in mothers’ knowledge. The respondents’ average score before the audiovisual media intervention was 57.3, which then increased to 69.8 after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusions and Recommendations : The use of audiovisual media has been shown to have a positive impact on improving mothers’ knowledge. Therefore, it is recommended that educational media, such as videos on balanced nutrition, be used regularly for pregnant women and mothers of toddlers as a strategic effort to reduce stunting rates.

Abstract

Maternal anemia continues to pose substantial public health challenges in Indonesia, with consequences extending to pregnancy outcomes and child development. Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) offers a practical nutritional assessment in resource-limited settings, while anemia-related knowledge represents the cognitive dimension of maternal health literacy relevant to preventive behaviors. This study examined the relationships of maternal nutritional status measured through MUAC and anemia-related knowledge with hemoglobin concentrations among third-trimester pregnant women in rural Indonesia. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted from May to August 2024 at Palang Health Center, Tuban Regency. Through purposive sampling, 232 third-trimester pregnant women were recruited. Data collection involved MUAC measurements using standardized tape, hemoglobin assessment via digital hemoglobinometer, and a validated 20-item anemia knowledge questionnaire. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and multiple linear regression at α=0.05. Anemia prevalence was 37.9%. Significant associations were observed between nutritional status and anemia status (p<0.001) and between anemia-related knowledge and anemia status (p<0.001). Women with MUAC below 23.5 cm had a higher anemia prevalence (78.2%) than those with adequate MUAC (17.5%); women with poor knowledge had an anemia prevalence of 87.5% versus 20.0% among those with good knowledge. In the linear regression model, each 1-cm increase in MUAC was associated with a 0.112 g/dL higher hemoglobin concentration (B=0.112, p<0.001), and each one-point increase in knowledge score was associated with a 0.286 g/dL higher hemoglobin concentration (B=0.286, p=0.002). The model explained 41.2% of hemoglobin variance (R²=0.412). MUAC and anemia-related knowledge are significant correlates of hemoglobin levels in late pregnancy. Comprehensive anemia prevention strategies may integrate anthropometric screening, individualized nutritional counseling, structured anemia education, and promotion of locally accessible iron-rich foods.

Abstract

Rabies-Transmitting Animal Bites (RTAB) remain a public health concern in the working area of Bulili Public Health Center because they increase the risk of rabies transmission. In 2025, 99 RTAB cases were reported, with a prevalence of approximately 3.94 cases per 1,000 population. Human behavioral and animal-related factors are suspected to contribute to RTAB occurrence. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with RTAB in the working area of Bulili Public Health Center. A case-control study with a 1:1 ratio of cases and controls was conducted. Of the 99 RTAB cases recorded from January to December 2025, 37 cases involving stray animals were excluded because the variables of animal keeping practices and vaccination status focused on owned animals. A total of 124 respondents participated. Total sampling was used for cases, while controls were selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and Odds Ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Animal provocation was significantly associated with RTAB incidence (OR = 4.552; 95% CI: 2.119–9.779), and vaccination status was also significantly associated with RTAB incidence (OR = 2.317; 95% CI: 1.060–5.065). Animal keeping practices were not significantly associated with RTAB incidence (OR = 1.576; 95% CI: 0.775–3.203). In conclusion, animal provocation and vaccination status were identified as risk factors for RTAB. Public education on safe animal interactions and increased rabies vaccination coverage are recommended to reduce RTAB incidence and prevent rabies transmission.

Abstract

Needlestick injury (NSI) poses a significant occupational hazard for healthcare workers, particularly nurses, due to the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Emergency department nurses are especially vulnerable because they frequently perform invasive procedures under time pressure and in unpredictable clinical situations. This study aimed to explore the experiences of emergency department nurses in managing needlestick injuries and to identify the challenges and preventive practices associated with these incidents. A descriptive phenomenological approach was applied with nine nurses who were purposively selected based on their experience with needlestick injuries. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically to identify patterns and meanings within participants’ experiences. The findings revealed that needlestick injuries commonly occurred during high-pressure emergency procedures, particularly when nurses had to work rapidly and manage patients with unpredictable movements. Following an incident, nurses experienced emotional responses including fear, anxiety, worry about bloodborne infection, and psychological trauma. Participants emphasized the importance of strict adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), consistent use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), safe handling and disposal of sharps, and prompt reporting of occupational incidents. The findings also highlighted the need for accessible post-exposure support and clear institutional procedures. The study concludes that comprehensive hospital support, including technical training, stress management, occupational health services, and effective incident-reporting systems, is crucial for strengthening preventive practices, reducing the psychological impact of needlestick injuries, and improving nurses’ occupational safety.

Abstract

Medical waste management is an essential component of hospital healthcare services. This study analyzed the implementation of area-based medical waste management in accordance with Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 18 of 2020 at Dr. Komang Makes Indonesian Navy Hospital, Belawan. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving eight purposively selected informants comprising key, main, and supporting informants. The management process included waste segregation, transportation, temporary storage, and final treatment in collaboration with third parties. Overall, implementation was consistent with applicable regulations and supported by internal policies, management commitment, infrastructure, budget allocation, and integration with quality improvement, Infection Prevention and Control, and Occupational Health and Safety programs. However, several challenges remained, including inadequate waste containers during periods of high patient volume, limited capacity of the hazardous waste Temporary Storage Facility, and delays in third-party transportation caused by logistical and geographical constraints. The hospital should strengthen source-based segregation, optimize hazardous waste storage capacity, and improve operational supervision, particularly in high-workload units. The study concludes that medical waste management was generally aligned with Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 18 of 2020. Continuous improvement is required to address increasing waste volumes and regional coordination challenges
