Abstract

In addition to the spatial analysis, this study also considered the implications of population density and urban development patterns on the effectiveness of fire and rescue services. Sub-districts with high population densities and complex road networks, such as Rungkut and Dukuh Pakis, were particularly vulnerable due to delays in response time caused by traffic congestion and narrow street access. Furthermore, newly developed residential and industrial zones, particularly in the outskirts like Benowo and Pakal, showed inadequate emergency coverage due to the lack of nearby fire stations and limited road connectivity. The study underscores the importance of incorporating demographic and infrastructural data into emergency planning. Fire service planning that solely relies on theoretical models such as circular buffer zones tends to overlook the real-world constraints posed by road networks, traffic conditions, and topographic barriers. As a result, relying on network-based service area analysis provides a more realistic and operationally relevant perspective for decision-making. To enhance coverage, the study recommends optimizing station placement through Geographic Information System (GIS)-based modeling that factors in dynamic urban growth, accessibility, and service demand projections. Establishing satellite fire stations or deploying mobile fire units in the underserved sub-districts could be effective interim solutions while longer-term infrastructure developments are underway. Moreover, collaboration between fire departments, urban planners, and transportation authorities is essential to integrate fire safety considerations into city planning processes. By doing so, Surabaya can not only improve its emergency response performance but also build urban resilience in the face of increasing fire risks due to climate change and urban expansion.

Abstract

Pain is one of the most common and distressing symptoms experienced by patients with cervical cancer. It significantly affects patients' quality of life, leading to both physical and psychological burden. Conventional pharmacological interventions often come with side effects and may not fully address the multidimensional nature of pain. As an alternative, non-pharmacological approaches such as acupressure therapy have gained attention for their potential effectiveness and minimal risk profile. Acupressure is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves applying manual pressure to specific points on the body to stimulate healing and relieve discomfort. This case study highlights the outcome of a three-day acupressure intervention administered to a cervical cancer patient suffering from moderate pain and anxiety. Before the intervention, the patient's pain level was recorded at a score of 4, accompanied by noticeable anxiety. Following consistent acupressure sessions, both the pain and anxiety scores decreased to 2, indicating a meaningful improvement in comfort and emotional state. The underlying mechanism of acupressure is believed to involve the stimulation of the central nervous system, which enhances the release of endorphins—natural painkillers that act as analgesics. These findings suggest that acupressure not only provides symptomatic relief but also contributes to emotional well-being, making it a viable complementary therapy for cancer pain management. While this case study offers promising results, it is limited by its single-subject design. To validate these outcomes, further research using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) methodology and a larger sample size is highly recommended. This will provide more robust evidence on the efficacy of acupressure and support its integration into holistic cancer care.

Abstract

Postpartum obesity increases the risk of postnatal complications and is often triggered by low physical activity. Fatigue, hormonal changes, and the responsibilities of caring for a baby all contribute to this condition. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered counseling technique that aims to awaken intrinsic motivation for adopting healthy behaviors, including increased physical activity during the postpartum period. This study analyzed the effect of MI intervention on the physical activity of obese postpartum mothers. A total of 30 respondents were selected through purposive and convenience sampling based on inclusion criteria and accessibility. Physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Before the intervention, 63.3% of respondents were in the low physical activity category, indicating a sedentary lifestyle. After a series of MI sessions, there was a significant increase in physical activity levels to the moderate category. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a statistically significant improvement in postpartum mothers’ physical activity following the intervention. This finding highlights the effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing in encouraging behavior change during the critical postpartum period. MI not only promotes increased activity but also empowers mothers to make healthier choices through reflective listening, goal setting, and self-efficacy building. Given the positive outcomes, this strategy is highly recommended for integration into midwifery and maternal health education programs. It can play a pivotal role in preventing long-term complications associated with obesity, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression. Further studies are encouraged to evaluate the long-term adherence to physical activity and to examine the potential psychological benefits of MI in the postpartum population.

Abstract

Several ways that can help lower cholesterol levels in the blood include using drugs (pharmacotherapy) or by modifying lifestyle and consuming certain foods. One of them is lunasin. Lunasin is a peptide found in soybean plants and is a promising drug candidate because it has broad health effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and lowering blood cholesterol through various mechanisms. This paper aims to examine the role and mechanism of action of lunasin as an antioxidant and its ability to lower blood cholesterol levels due to the unique peptide structure of lunasin as well as the bioavailability of lunasin starting from degradation, absorption, translocation and distribution of lunasin to target organs or target tissues after oral administration . This paper also discusses soybean plants as the main source of lunasin and the optimal content of lunasin in soybeans.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an acute febrile illness found in tropical regions and caused by four serotypes of viruses from the Flavivirus genus, family Flaviviridae, also known as breakbone fever. DHF has now become an epidemic in more than 100 countries. This disease can be effectively managed through prevention efforts that focus on changing community behavior, including knowledge, attitudes, and actions in responding to the disease. This study aims to describe community behavior regarding the Dengue Fever Eradication Program (PSN) in Toba Regency. The method used in this study was descriptive analytical with a cross-sectional approach. The sample used in this study was 100 randomly selected respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire designed to explore community knowledge, attitudes, and actions towards the dengue eradication program. Data were then presented in tabular form and analyzed quantitatively. The results showed that community knowledge of the National Dengue Fever Prevention and Eradication Program (PSN) was quite good, with a score of 90.14%. However, knowledge about dengue fever itself varies, with nearly half of respondents reporting poor knowledge. Public attitudes toward dengue fever eradication efforts were very positive, with 100% of respondents expressing support for dengue eradication efforts. Public support for dengue fever eradication efforts was also generally positive, with a score of 87.25%. The study concluded that public attitudes toward dengue fever eradication efforts in Toba Regency were generally positive. However, there are still gaps in public knowledge about dengue fever that need to be addressed through further education. This study provides important insights for the government and relevant parties to improve the effectiveness of dengue eradication programs in the region.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of hospital administration in supporting the development of MSMEs through the implementation of CSR programs in the healthcare sector. Using a quantitative approach, this study involved 10 hospitals and 50 partner MSMEs in North Sumatra. The results showed that the higher the intensity of CSR support provided by hospitals, the higher the increase in turnover and satisfaction of MSME partners. A well-structured CSR program can encourage the sustainability of MSME businesses while strengthening the hospital's positive image in the community. More than just social responsibility, CSR in this context serves as a collaborative bridge between healthcare institutions and small business owners. Hospital administration plays a crucial role in designing, managing, and evaluating the program's success, so that CSR implementation becomes not only a routine obligation but also a sustainable local economic empowerment strategy. Through the data and analysis conducted, this study demonstrates that a systematic and measurable approach from hospitals can produce tangible social and economic impacts for MSME partners. Thus, the role of hospital administration is not only functioning behind the scenes of medical services, but also as a social driver that contributes to the economic growth of the surrounding community through real and sustainable MSME empowerment.

Abstract

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women, particularly in developing countries, where access to prevention and treatment options may be limited. Early detection and prevention are crucial, especially for women of reproductive age (WRA), who are considered a high-risk group for the disease. This study aims to analyze the relationship between various risk factors and preventive measures, such as Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) tests and HPV vaccination, in Samapuin Village, Sumbawa Regency. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted, involving 109 respondents selected through total sampling. Data analysis was performed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate analysis through multiple logistic regression with the backward method. The findings indicate that certain factors, such as age at first marriage, exposure to cigarette smoke, and history of hormonal contraceptive use, were significantly associated with cervical cancer prevention efforts (p < 0.05). However, age at menarche and parity did not show significant associations. Among the factors, age at first marriage emerged as the most dominant factor influencing preventive behavior. Women who married at an older age were more likely to engage in preventive actions such as regular screening and vaccination. These results underscore the importance of addressing modifiable risk factors through targeted education and public health interventions. In conclusion, cervical cancer prevention efforts can be significantly influenced by behavioral changes related to modifiable risk factors. Public health strategies should focus on raising awareness, improving access to screening, and encouraging HPV vaccination. The active involvement of health workers is crucial in enhancing education and facilitating access to these preventive measures, ultimately reducing the burden of cervical cancer in communities.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic condition characterized by impaired physical growth resulting from prolonged malnutrition. It is clinically defined as a height-for-age measurement more than two standard deviations below the median of the WHO Child Growth Standards. The primary contributor to stunting is poor nutritional status during critical growth periods. Thus, monitoring the nutritional status of infants and toddlers is essential, as malnutrition during these stages can lead to permanent damage to both physical and cognitive development. This study used a qualitative research design to evaluate the implementation of the stunting prevention and control program in Labuhan Bajo Village, located in Utan District, Sumbawa Regency. The research subjects were Labuhan Bajo Village, and the research object was the local stunting prevention and control program. Data collection methods included observation, document review, and in-depth interviews. Data analysis followed an interactive model to interpret the qualitative findings. The findings showed that all the evaluation indicators assessed were implemented well. These indicators included: (1) Input indicators, (2) Process indicators, and (3) Output indicators. However, the output indicators revealed certain deficiencies. Despite the program’s efforts, the prevalence and risk of stunting in children in Labuhan Bajo Village remained relatively high. Contributing factors included the large number of young couples, an increase in adolescents of childbearing age, unhealthy environmental conditions, and a low level of public awareness about the importance of balanced nutrition. This suggests that while the program had positive impacts on several fronts, improvements are still needed to address the root causes of stunting. Enhancing public awareness and addressing the broader social determinants of health will be crucial in reducing stunting rates and improving the overall effectiveness of the program in the future.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant public health issue with lasting effects on human development and the quality of the workforce. This study aimed to identify the risk factors of stunting using an epidemiological approach in Karang Dima Village, Sumbawa Regency. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, and data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 22 mothers of stunted children and environmental observations. The results highlighted several key factors contributing to stunting. Host factors, such as low maternal nutritional knowledge, improper parenting practices, and limited spousal support during pregnancy, were identified as primary contributors. These factors negatively influence a mother’s ability to provide adequate care and nutrition during pregnancy and the early stages of a child’s life. Agent factors included recurrent infections, including diarrhea, acute respiratory infections (ARI), and measles. These infections, often linked to weak child immunity, exacerbate the risk of stunting, especially when compounded by poor nutritional intake. Environmental factors also played a significant role. Poor sanitation, high population density, and exposure to pollution from household waste burning and indoor cigarette smoke were noted as critical elements in the village’s stunting risk profile. These environmental conditions compromise both maternal and child health, increasing vulnerability to infections and impairing overall development. The study emphasizes that stunting prevention requires a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach. Nutritional education, improved sanitation, and greater family involvement, particularly from fathers and extended family members, are essential in reducing stunting risk. The findings highlight the need for cross-sectoral strategies to address the various interrelated factors contributing to stunting, particularly in vulnerable communities. Accelerating stunting reduction efforts requires a collaborative, community-driven approach involving healthcare providers, local governments, and families.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has led to a rising demand for hemodialysis services, most of which are financed by the Indonesian National Health Insurance (BPJS Kesehatan) through the INA-CBG tariff system. However, the discrepancy between INA-CBG tariffs and the actual service costs—particularly due to the use of single-use dialyzers—poses financial challenges for private hospitals. This study aims to analyze the operational costs, tariff differences, and financial feasibility of single-use hemodialysis services at Siaga Medika Banyumas General Hospital. A qualitative descriptive-exploratory approach was employed through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving five key informants. The results indicate that the largest cost component comes from medical consumables, especially dialyzers. A comparison revealed that the actual service cost was IDR 660,138, which is lower than the INA-CBG tariff of IDR 875,000 and the hospital’s own tariff of IDR 1,877,536. The cost recovery rate (CRR) analysis yielded 132.54% for BPJS patients and 284.4% for general (non-BPJS) patients, indicating profitability. The hospital’s strategies include logistics efficiency, adjustments in non-BPJS tariffs, and resource optimization. The study concludes that the single-use hemodialysis service at Siaga Medika Banyumas General Hospital is financially viable, although it requires strict cost management and more accurate tariff policy support to ensure service sustainability.
