<![CDATA[Gestational anemia is a health issue that contributes to high Maternal Mortality Rates (MMR) and infant complications, such as Low Birth Weight (LBW). This study aims to determine the correlation between the frequency of tea consumption and the incidence of anemia. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional approach, with a total of 114 respondents selected via consecutive sampling. The research instruments included demographic data (maternal age, gestational age, weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference/MUAC, and hemoglobin levels) and a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Chi-square) analysis. The results showed a significant correlation between the frequency of tea consumption in pregnant women and the incidence of anemia (p-value 0.011). Consequently, it is recommended to limit tea intake and avoid consuming it alongside meals or supplements to maintain maternal and fetal hematological stability; this is because the tannin content in tea acts as a chelating agent for iron, thereby inhibiting intestinal absorption and decreasing hemoglobin levels.]]>

<![CDATA[Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep and is commonly experienced by nursing students who face substantial academic demands. This condition has the potential to increase academic stress, reduce concentration, and impair cognitive functions such as memory and critical thinking, thereby diminishing the effectiveness of the learning process. This study aimed to examine the relationship between insomnia severity and learning concentration among nursing students. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study population comprised 316 undergraduate nursing students at Sultan Agung Islamic University, with 177 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the KSPBJ-IRS instrument to measure insomnia severity and a learning concentration questionnaire adapted from previous research. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 and Somers’ d correlation test. The results indicated a statistically significant relationship between insomnia severity and learning concentration, with a negative correlation direction. The correlation coefficient was -0.502 with a p-value of 0.000. These findings suggest that higher levels of insomnia are associated with lower learning concentration among students. This study concludes that there is a significant negative relationship between insomnia severity and learning concentration. The findings are expected to serve as a foundation for educational institutions in developing effective promotive interventions. ]]>

<![CDATA[Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual disorder experienced by women of reproductive age and often interferes with daily and academic activities. Non-pharmacological management is increasingly recommended to minimize the side effects of long-term analgesic use. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a combination of Benson relaxation therapy and ginger decoction on the intensity of dysmenorrhea among undergraduate students of the Elementary School Teacher Education Program, Class of 2023, at Universitas Islam Sultan Agung Semarang. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest. A total of 48 respondents were divided into intervention and control groups. The results showed that before the intervention, 91.7% of respondents in the intervention group experienced severe pain, while after the intervention, 79.2% experienced mild pain. Wilcoxon test results indicated a significant reduction in pain intensity in the intervention group (p=0.000). Mann-Whitney test results also showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups (p=0.000). The combination of Benson relaxation therapy and ginger decoction was proven effective in reducing dysmenorrhea intensity.]]>

<![CDATA[Public speaking anxiety remains a persistent psychological challenge among final-year university students, particularly in academic contexts that demand frequent oral presentations and evaluative communication. This field-based quantitative study examines the relationship between positive thinking and public speaking anxiety among undergraduate students in their final semester. Using a correlational research design, data were collected from 366 students selected through accidental sampling across six faculties at Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya. Positive thinking and public speaking anxiety were measured using validated Likert-type scales with satisfactory psychometric properties. Preliminary assumption testing indicated non-normal and non-linear data distribution, leading to the application of Spearman’s rho correlation analysis. The findings reveal a significant negative relationship between positive thinking and public speaking anxiety, indicating that students who demonstrate higher levels of constructive cognitive orientation tend to experience lower anxiety when speaking in public settings. These results highlight the central role of cognitive processes in shaping emotional responses to communication demands. The study contributes theoretically by reinforcing cognitive-based models of communication anxiety and practically by informing the design of psychological and educational interventions aimed at strengthening positive thinking to reduce public speaking anxiety among university students.]]>

<![CDATA[Menarche is a critical developmental milestone that often generates anxiety and maladaptive perceptions among adolescent girls when adequate preparedness is lacking. This study examined the effect of psychoeducational intervention on menarche readiness among female students at SD Negeri Gebangsari 01 using a school-based quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The study involved 45 fourth- and fifth-grade female students selected through total sampling. Menarche readiness was measured using a validated and reliable ordinal-scale questionnaire, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess within-subject changes. The findings demonstrated a significant increase in mean readiness scores from pretest to posttest, accompanied by a shift toward higher readiness categories and reduced variability in responses. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between pre-intervention and post-intervention readiness levels (p < 0.05), indicating that the observed changes were attributable to the psychoeducational intervention. These results suggest that structured psychoeducation effectively enhances cognitive and emotional preparedness for menarche among primary school girls. The study highlights the strategic role of schools as early intervention settings for reproductive health education and supports the integration of psychoeducational programs into elementary school health promotion initiatives.]]>

<![CDATA[There is a substantial increase in physical, psychological, and emotional development during adolescence, the developmental period before adulthood. Primary dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain caused by an unexplained medical cause, affects many young women during this period and can negatively impact their learning ability and overall well-being. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls at SMA Negeri 10 Semarang. This study used a cross-sectional technique to measure correlation. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Using a stratified random sampling procedure, a total of 128 respondents were selected. Multiple logistic regression and the chi-square test were used for statistical analysis of the collected data. Based on the analysis results obtained from 128 research respondents, it was shown that the duration of menstruation (p=0.003), family history (p=0.000), body mass index (p=0.003), and physical activity (p=0.003) were significantly associated with the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea. Meanwhile, age at menarche (p=0.060), and menstrual cycle (p=0.654) did not show a significant relationship. Conclusion there are factors that influence the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea in female adolescents at SMA Negeri 10 Semarang.]]>

<![CDATA[Basic immunization is a public health intervention that effectively reduces morbidity and mortality caused by vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. Problems related to the consistency of immunization schedules are still encountered, including in Semarang City. One factor that is believed to play a role is the level of parents’ understanding of the risks of diseases that can be prevented through immunization. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between parents’ understanding of disease risk and the consistency of basic immunization among toddlers at Bangetayu Public Health Center. The study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design. A total of 101 parents of children aged 9–59 months were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and observation of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) handbook. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and using the Chi-Square test with α = 0.05. The results showed that 46.5% of respondents had a moderate level of understanding of disease risk and 58.4% provided basic immunization consistently. The Chi-Square test indicated a significant relationship between parents’ understanding of disease risk and the consistency of basic immunization among toddlers (p = 0.001). This indicates that the better the parents’ understanding, the higher the consistency of basic immunization among toddlers. ]]>

<![CDATA[Chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis experience hemodynamic changes due to the ultrafiltration process and fluid shifts. The duration of hemodialysis may influence blood pressure, increasing the risk of either intradialytic hypertension or hypotension. This clinical variability highlights the need to analyze the relationship between hemodialysis duration and patient blood pressure. This study employed a quantitative design with a time series approach. A total of 106 hemodialysis patients at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang in July 2025 were selected based on inclusion criteria. Hemodialysis duration data were obtained from medical records, while blood pressure was recorded hourly on hemodialysis monitoring sheets. The relationship was analyzed using Pearson correlation, followed by a General Linear Model (GLM) to control for confounding variables. Results showed that patient blood pressure during hemodialysis varied according to measurement time. Repeated Measures GLM analysis indicated a significant difference in diastolic blood pressure across measurement times during hemodialysis (p < 0.05). Conversely, systolic blood pressure did not show a significant difference across measurement times (p > 0.05). The findings reveal that diastolic blood pressure changes significantly during hemodialysis in chronic kidney disease patients, whereas systolic blood pressure remains relatively stable.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aimed to analyze the level of oral and dental health knowledge among elementary school children in relation to gender and grade level. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design was employed as a field-based study conducted at MI Sudirman Kawengen 01 in August 2025. The study population comprised all students in grades III to VI, with total sampling applied to obtain 106 respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of 19 validated and reliable items measuring oral and dental health knowledge. Univariate analysis was used to describe the distribution of knowledge levels, while bivariate analysis employed the Mann–Whitney test to assess gender-based differences and the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by post hoc analysis to examine differences across grade levels. The results indicated that most respondents demonstrated a moderate level of knowledge. Statistically significant differences were found between male and female students, with females showing higher knowledge levels. Significant variations were also observed across grade levels, particularly between lower and higher grades. These findings highlight the influence of developmental and demographic factors on children’s oral health knowledge and underscore the importance of targeted, stage-appropriate oral health education in primary schools. ]]>

<![CDATA[Low knowledge of reproductive health among adolescents is characterized by an increase in premarital sexual behavior and limited access to information. The government, through the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN), developed the Generasi Berencana (GenRe) Program with the Youth Information and Counseling Center (PIK-R) based in schools as an effort to educate adolescents about reproductive health. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of PIK-R education in improving adolescents' knowledge of reproductive health. The research design was quasi-experimental with a pre-post test with control group. A sample of 180 respondents was determined using purposive sampling and divided into intervention and control groups. The research instrument used a reproductive health knowledge questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann-Whitney test. Results the study showed a significant increase in knowledge in the intervention group (p=0.000) after receiving PIK-R education compared to the control group (p=0.000). Education combined with board games and interactive counseling sessions proved to be effective in improving students' understanding and engagement in the learning process regarding reproductive health. Conclusion school-based PIK-R education has been proven effective in improving adolescents' reproductive health knowledge using an innovative approach. ]]>
