Abstract

Background:  Nutrition is an important factor that supports children's growth and development. Malnutrition remains a serious problem among toddlers, characterized by weight below the age-standard (weight-for-age, W/A), which can affect physical growth, cognitive development, and overall health. One potential strategy is the provision of moringa leaf tofu nuggets, which are rich in protein and essential micronutrients for children. Objective:  To determine the effect of  consuming  moringa leaf tofu nuggets on the weight gain of toddlers aged 24–60 months at KB Ummul Quro, Central Lampung Regency. Method:  Pre-experimental research, with one group pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 20 toddlers who were BGK and BGM on the growth chart, using a total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test. Results: The average weight of toddlers increased from 10.4 kg before the intervention to 10.7 kg after 30 days of consuming moringa leaf tofu nuggets. The statistical test showed a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that H0 was rejected and Ha accepted. This demonstrates that providing moringa leaf tofu nuggets has a significant effect on increasing the weight of toddlers.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a contagious disease with high mortality rates worldwide, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, which is the second-largest contributor to TB cases after India. Objective: Analysis of factors associated with treatment outcome in pulmonary TB patients in public health centers at Gunungkidul Regency, D.I. Yogyakarta. Methods: An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on pulmonary TB patients in 30 public health centers, Gunungkidul Regency in 2020-2021. Inclusion criteria were age ≥15 years, and exclusion criteria were extrapulmonary TB patients and those who loss to follow-up the end of treatment. Secondary data were obtained from the Tuberculosis Information System TB 03 (SITB) of the Gunungkidul District Health Office. The research data were analyzed using chi-square test (bivariate) and logistic regression (multivariate). Results: A total of 272 pulmonary TB patients in 2020-2021, with the majority aged 45-54 years (22.8%), male (57%), new treatment category (96.3%), BTA/TCM positive (58.1%), had a history of DM (8.1%), and HIV positive status (0.8%). Logistic regression analysis showed that age (p<0.001) and bacteriological examination results (p=0.012) were significantly associated with treatment outcomes. However, gender, history of TB treatment, history of DM, and HIV status were not associated with treatment success. Conclusion: Age and bacteriological examination results (AFB/Xpert MTB) at the start of treatment contributed to the treatment success rate in pulmonary TB patients.

Abstract

Background: Therapeutic communication is an essential component of healthcare services because it contributes to building trust between healthcare providers and patients, enhances patient understanding, and creates a higher-quality care experience. However, variations in the quality of communication across healthcare facilities can lead to decreased patient satisfaction and lower perceived service quality. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between therapeutic communication and patient satisfaction levels in the service area of BLUD Woha Community Health Center. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted at the Woha Community Health Center. Sampling was carried out using an accidental sampling technique, resulting in 92 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires to assess therapeutic communication and patient satisfaction. Data analysis was performed using Spearman’s rho correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that therapeutic communication was most commonly categorized as moderate, with 45 respondents (48.9%). Meanwhile, patient satisfaction was predominantly in the low category, with 59 respondents (64.1%). The correlation test yielded a value of r = 0.689 with p = 0.001. Conclusions: Therapeutic communication has a significant relationship with patient satisfaction. Therefore, it is recommended that healthcare facilities strengthen therapeutic communication training, conduct regular supervision, and incorporate communication indicators into service performance evaluations.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease that leading a highest risk into morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular complications. Although acupuncture has been utilized in the management of hypertension, the existing scientific evidence remains variable and inconsistent. Objectives: Therefore, further research is warranted to address this gap, particularly in evaluating the effectiveness of acupuncture in a measurable and evidence-based manner for reducing blood pressure. Methods: The pre-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest was used as a design in this study. A total of 40 hypertensive patients were recruited using accidental sampling method. Acupuncture was administered for 30 minutes using Taichong (LR3), Neiguan (PC6), Hegu (LI4), Shenmen (HT7), and Sanyinjiao (SP6) points. Blood pressure measurements were taken pre and post intervention and the data was analyzed by Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: There was a reduction from Md=152 mmHg to Md=140 mmHg in systolic pressure and Md=93 mmHg to Md=84 mmHg for diastolic after the intervention. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference with p < 0.001 (Z = 4.7; r = 0.52), indicating that acupuncture therapy has a moderate to strong effect in reducing blood pressure. Conclusions: Acupuncture is effective as a complementary therapy in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients. The integration of acupuncture into healthcare services may serve as a strategic alternative to improve hypertension management.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension remains a major health problem contributing to morbidity and mortality, including in Indonesia. Effective, safe, and easy-to-implement preventive strategies are needed. Acupressure and natural herbal ingredients such as celery, cucumber, and pineapple are known to lowering the blood pressure by doing vascular relaxation, diuretic effect, regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of a pairing of acupressure and consumption of a simple herbal drink (celery, cucumber, and pineapple) in reducing blood pressure among individuals at risk of hypertension. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The research used 60 participants aged 40–65 years with prehypertensive blood pressure levels. The intervention was conducted over four weeks, consisting of self-administered acupressure twice daily at points LI11 (Quchi), GB20 (Fengchi), and LI4 (Hegu), along with daily consumption of 200–250 ml of herbal juice. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The average respondent’s systolic blood pressure decreased from 132.40 mmHg before the intervention to 127.80 mmHg after the intervention, while diastolic blood pressure decreased from 79.28 mmHg to 76.78 mmHg. Statistical analysis showed a crucial reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.000). Conclusions: The combination of acupressure and simple herbal beverage effectively lowers blood pressure in individuals at risk of hypertension. This approach is safe, affordable, and can be independently applied in the community as a non-pharmacological preventive strategy against hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnant women remains a public health problem with a high prevalence in Indonesia and contributes to an increased risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight, as well as maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. This condition is generally caused by iron deficiency, which is closely related to dietary patterns, particularly during the third trimester when nutritional requirements increase, making unbalanced dietary intake more likely to increase the risk of anemia. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between dietary patterns and anemia status among third-trimester pregnant women in the working area of Puskesmas Sandaran in 2025. Methods: This study employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all third-trimester pregnant women who attended antenatal care at the study site, with a sample of 32 third-trimester pregnant women selected using an accidental sampling technique. Data were collected through a dietary pattern questionnaire and hemoglobin level examination obtained from the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) handbook. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with Fisher’s Exact Test (α=5%) and Risk Estimate analysis. Results: The results showed that most respondents had good dietary patterns (78.1%) and were not anemic (56.3%). There was a significant relationship between dietary patterns and anemia status (p=0.001). Pregnant women with good dietary patterns had a lower risk of developing anemia (RE=0.280; 95% CI: 0.149–0.525). Conclusions: Dietary patterns are significantly associated with anemia status among pregnant women, especially during the second and third trimesters when iron requirements increase and physiological hemodilution occurs due to a greater increase in plasma volume compared to erythrocyte mass. This condition causes hemoglobin levels to decrease, making pregnant women more susceptible to anemia if nutritional intake is not adequately fulfilled. Therefore, improving dietary patterns from the early stages of pregnancy through the consumption of balanced nutritious foods rich in iron, protein, folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin C is an important effort in preventing anemia among pregnant women.
