Abstract

Background: Intravenous (IV) Line Insertion is a procedure that involves puncturing a vein and causing significant pain and stress in children. The pain and fear experienced during childhood can increase the potential for avoiding medical care in adulthood. Aims: to determine the effectiveness of providing cartoon video distraction in reducing pain in children undergoing IV drips Method: This study was conducted in the Emergency Room of Dr. Soerojo Hospital in November - December 2024 involving 66 children who were going to receive IV treatment, the research sample was divided into two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group received treatment in the form of watching cartoon videos for 5 to 10 minutes, while the control group received standard therapy in the form of deep breathing distraction techniques. Result: There was a significant difference in the pain scale in children who received distraction techniques by watching cartoon videos compared to children who only received standard therapy when the infusion was installed (p value = 0.001). Conclusion: Providing cartoon video distractions has been proven effective in reducing pain in children undergoing Intravenous puncture.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension remains a growing global health concern, especially among the elderly and working-age populations, requiring holistic management strategies. Prolanis exercise, a community-based non-pharmacological approach, was introduced to help control blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Objective: This study evaluated its effectiveness at Tanjung Priok Health Center using a quantitative pretest-posttest design without a control group. Fifty-seven randomly selected participants engaged in two 30-minute exercise sessions over one month. Method: Blood pressure was measured before and after, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: Showed no significant differences in systolic or diastolic blood pressure (p-values: 0.763 and 0.071). Most respondents were elderly, female, and unemployed. The study's limitations include low intervention frequency and lack of analysis on psychosocial and cultural factors. Future studies should employ more intensive and culturally sensitive approaches to improve outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a prevalence continues to increase nationally and globally. This condition can cause serious complications such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. Hypertension management is not only through drug therapy, but also includes healthy lifestyle changes and dietary compliance. One factor that supports compliance is self-efficacy, namely an individual's belief in their ability to perform certain behaviors, including following a hypertension diet. Objective: To determine the relationship between self-efficacy and dietary compliance in hypertension patients at the Sawah Besar Community Health Center, Central Jakarta. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The data analysis technique used in this study was the Spearman rho test with a sample of 190 respondents. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents had high self-efficacy and were compliant with the diet. Based on the results of statistical tests, the p value = 0.000 and r value 0.922 indicated a very strong relationship between self-efficacy and dietary compliance.

Abstract

Background: First-year university students often face complex adaptation challenges in higher education, including academic pressure, differing teaching methods, and demands for independence. The ability to persist through such challenges is referred to as academic resilience, which may be influenced by social support from peers. Objective: The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between peer social support and academic resilience among first-year students in the Bachelor of Nursing Program at STIKes RS Husada Jakarta. Method:  The approach adopted was quantitative with a correlational descriptive design and total sampling technique, involving 114 first-semester students. The instrument used was a Likert scale questionnaire to measure both variables. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed with the Spearman Rank correlation test due to non-normal distribution. Results: The findings of the study show a significant positive relationship between peer social support and academic resilience (r = 0.459; p < 0.001). This indicates that higher levels of perceived peer support are associated with stronger academic resilience.

Abstract

Background:  Instant noodle consumption has become a popular dietary trend among young adults due to its convenience, affordability, and appealing taste. However, frequent intake may contribute to poor nutritional quality and increase long-term health risks. Objectives: To examine the relationship between instant noodle consumption patterns and potential health implications among young adults. Method: A cross-sectional design was applied to 250 respondents using structured questionnaires assessing consumption frequency, portion size, and lifestyle factors. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests and logistic regression to identify significant associations with self-reported health indicators. Results: The results indicated a significant association between high-frequency instant noodle consumption and unhealthy dietary habits, including low intake of fruits and vegetables and higher consumption of sugary drinks (p < 0.05). Spearman correlation showed significant positive relationships between consumption frequency and affordability (ρ = 0.412, p = 0.001), taste preference (ρ = 0.367, p = 0.002), and convenience (ρ = 0.295, p = 0.009), while peer influence was not significant (ρ = 0.158, p = 0.073). Conclusion: The study concludes that frequent consumption of instant noodles is significantly associated with unhealthy dietary patterns among young adults, highlighting the importance of nutrition education, promotion of healthier alternatives, and targeted public health interventions to encourage balanced diets.

Abstract

Background:   Street food vendors are a vital part of urban food systems in Indonesia, yet their hygiene practices remain poorly regulated, contributing to the spread of foodborne diseases such as hepatitis. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between hygiene behavior and the risk of hepatitis among street food vendors in Surabaya. Method: A quantitative analytical method with a cross-sectional design was applied to 120 purposively selected vendors. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing hygiene practices and self-reported hepatitis symptoms. Results: Chi-Square and Spearman correlation tests revealed significant associations between handwashing (p = 0.002), glove use (p = 0.011), access to clean water (p = 0.001), and food covering (p = 0.005) with hepatitis risk. The strongest negative correlation was found between clean water access and hepatitis symptoms (ρ = –0.48). These results highlight the critical role of basic hygiene practices in preventing hepatitis transmission in informal food settings. Findings suggest that targeted health education and improved water access can reduce public health risks. This study supports the integration of food safety standards into street food regulation and community-based interventions. Strengthening hygiene behavior among vendors could significantly reduce the burden of hepatitis in high-density urban environments.
