Abstract

Anemia is when a person has fewer red blood cells or lower levels of hemoglobin in their blood than what is normal for their age and gender. In healthy people, red blood cells carry hemoglobin, which helps move oxygen and other nutrients like vitamins and minerals to the brain and body. Normally, males have a hemoglobin level of 13. 5 grams per deciliter, and females have 12 grams per deciliter.This community service was done at SMPN 05 Sungai Kakap and aimed to teach students about the importance of checking hemoglobin levels.The activity used educational talks and hemoglobin testing with a digital device called Easy Touch GCHb.The counseling sessions showed that the students were interested and asked many questions.The hemoglobin test found that out of 24 students tested, 4 girls had levels below 12 g/dl, which means they had anemia.The method used—talks and testing—worked well.The results were then compared with body mass index (BMI), but there was no link between the two. More checks and ongoing care are needed to stop anemia from happening early.

Abstract

Social media has become an integral part of adolescents' daily lives and plays a crucial role in shaping their lifestyles, including health-related behaviors. This study aims to analyze the role of social media in encouraging changes in clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) among urban adolescents in South Minahasa Regency. A quantitative approach with a descriptive design was employed, and data were collected using questionnaires distributed to 100 adolescents residing in the Amurang and Tumpaan areas. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to identify the patterns of information access, the types of platforms used, and the impact of health-related content on adolescents’ behavior. The findings indicate that 78% of respondents admitted to obtaining information about PHBS from social media platforms, with TikTok and Instagram being the most influential. Furthermore, 65% of respondents reported experiencing positive changes in personal hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing and maintaining oral health, as well as improvements in environmental hygiene, including waste management and household cleanliness. Social media health content that is visually engaging, short in duration, and easy to understand was perceived as more effective in influencing adolescents’ daily practices. In addition, peer interaction within social media platforms was found to strengthen motivation and foster a sense of collective responsibility in adopting healthier behaviors. This study highlights that social media serves not only as a source of information but also as a medium of behavioral reinforcement among adolescents. However, the effectiveness of these platforms largely depends on the quality, relevance, and cultural suitability of the health messages delivered. Therefore, the conclusion of this study emphasizes the need for a more structured, engaging, and locally-based digital communication strategy to maximize the impact of social media as a health promotion tool.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the workload of nurses in the inpatient installation at Pekerja General Hospital, North Jakarta, using the Workload Indicator of Staffing Need (WISN) method. The main objective is to assess whether the number of implementing nurses aligns with the standards set by the Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 340/MENKES/PER/III/2010 and to provide input regarding the ideal staffing needs for nursing services. This research applies a descriptive quantitative approach with bivariate analysis. The study sample consisted of 68 respondents, encompassing all nurses in the inpatient unit, using probability sampling techniques. Data collection was conducted through work sampling techniques and calculations based on the WISN method. The findings indicate that out of 117 beds, the Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) ranges from 72.6% to 82.6%, which remains within the normal limit (maximum BOR >85%). The majority of respondents were female (85.2%) and had over one year of working experience. Based on the workload calculation using the WISN method, the hospital is still short of two nurses to meet optimal service requirements. The shortage of nursing staff, although small, has the potential to impact the quality of care, nurse performance, and patient satisfaction. This situation highlights the importance of accurate workload assessment and proper human resource allocation in hospital settings. Nurse managers and hospital administrators are encouraged to use the WISN method regularly as a decision-making tool for staffing adjustments. This study suggests that future research should incorporate additional variables, such as nurse satisfaction, patient acuity levels, and turnover rates, to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of staffing needs. The findings are expected to contribute to nursing human resource planning and management, especially in optimizing nurse-to-patient ratios for better healthcare delivery outcomes.

Abstract

Socio-cultural transformations brought about by globalization have had a profound impact on various aspects of human life, including public health behavior, where Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) serves as a crucial indicator in promotive and preventive health efforts. The working area of the Tenga Community Health Center provides a unique context for examining how these socio-cultural changes affect community health practices. This study aimed to analyze the influence of socio-cultural changes on PHBS within this community. Employing a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, the research involved 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling, using a questionnaire that was previously validated and tested for reliability. Data analysis utilized the Chi-Square test and simple logistic regression to assess relationships between socio-cultural variables and PHBS practices. Results indicated that new cultural values (p = 0.013), the role of social media (p = 0.004), and shifts in patterns of social interaction (p = 0.031) significantly influenced PHBS practices, whereas traditional customs (p = 0.076) were not found to have a meaningful effect. These findings underscore that socio-cultural changes substantially shape clean and healthy living behaviors in the community. The study highlights the importance of developing health promotion strategies that are not only scientifically sound but also culturally adaptive, taking into account both emerging global influences and the evolving dynamics of local society. By aligning health promotion efforts with socio-cultural realities, policymakers and health workers can foster more effective interventions to strengthen public awareness and adherence to PHBS. Ultimately, the research suggests that a culturally responsive and context-sensitive approach is essential in sustaining improvements in community health behavior amidst the rapid social and cultural transformations driven by globalization.

Abstract

The nutritional health status of adolescent girls is a picture of the physical well-being of women due to the fulfillment of nutritional needs in the body. Adolescent nutrition can affect reproductive health to prepare for reproduction from preconception, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. Stunting prevention efforts can be done by optimizing nutrition & child health from pregnancy to the age of 2 years. Therefore, the readiness of adolescent girls to undergo the pregnancy process later so as not to give birth to stunted children needs to be questioned. The knowledge of adolescent girls is very influential in the action of preparing for pregnancy in order to prevent stunting. To avoid the occurrence of KEK and BMI underweight category, it is expected that adolescent girls prepare themselves by fulfilling nutritional needs in the body. Thus, adolescent girls must understand and pay attention to the daily food intake consumed that contains nutrients so that nutritional needs in the body can be met. The purpose of this study was to determine the analysis of the relationship between knowledge of balanced nutrition and the nutritional status of adolescent girls at SMA N 1 Moyo Utara. This type of research is quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were adolescent girls at SMA N 1 Moyo Utara. The sampling technique was Accidental sampling. The results of the study showed that the knowledge of female adolescents about balanced nutrition was mostly sufficient, as many as 63 (63.6%) respondents. The nutritional status of female adolescents at SMA N 1 Moyo Utara, Sumbawa Regency was mostly thin, as many as 51 (51.5%). The results of the Fisher Exact test showed a p value of 0.044, meaning Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted, which means there is a relationship between knowledge about balanced nutrition and nutritional status in female adolescents at SMA N 1 Moyo Utara, Sumbawa Regency.

Abstract

One of the indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the reduction of the Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) by 2030. The highest mortality rate in newborns occurs within the first 24 hours after birth, which is often caused by inadequate newborn care. Health education is an important effort to address this problem. The selection of appropriate health education media plays a significant role in increasing maternal knowledge. One of the effective media is the simulation method, which presents real-life situations using props, enabling mothers to practice and understand newborn care in a more tangible way. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the simulation method in increasing maternal knowledge about newborn care at Bandung City Hospital. The research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test–post-test approach. Data were collected using a newborn care knowledge questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. Univariate data analysis was conducted using percentages, while bivariate analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The findings showed that, in the pre-test stage, less than half of the respondents (46.7% or 14 mothers) had sufficient knowledge, while the rest had low knowledge levels. After the intervention, the post-test results indicated that the majority (90% or 27 mothers) had good knowledge. Bivariate analysis revealed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a statistically significant improvement in knowledge after the simulation-based health education. In conclusion, the simulation method proved to be effective in increasing postpartum mothers’ knowledge of newborn care. The findings suggest that health facilities should consider integrating simulation-based education into maternal and neonatal health programs to support the achievement of SDG targets related to reducing neonatal mortality.

Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) plays a crucial role in ensuring a safe work environment, especially in high-risk sectors like healthcare, where workplace accidents and disease exposure are common. This study aims to assess the implementation of OSH at Hospital X in Bandung City by analyzing its occupational safety management system according to Government Regulation No. 50 of 2012, with a focus on Indicator 6, which pertains to Work Safety Standards under the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK3). The research method used a qualitative approach supported by quantitative data, with data collection through questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The respondents included OSH management staff and hospital visitors. The study’s findings indicate that the overall implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) at Hospital X is categorized as good. This suggests that the hospital's risk control procedures are generally effective in minimizing potential workplace hazards. The hospital management’s perception of the OHS Management System (SMK3) implementation was positive, reflecting their commitment to ensuring a safe work environment. However, the assessment from visitors regarding the OSH implementation fell into the fairly good category, indicating room for improvement in certain areas, especially in terms of visitor awareness and involvement in the hospital’s safety measures. The results highlight the importance of continuous evaluation and improvement in implementing OHS standards, particularly in high-risk settings such as hospitals. Strengthening visitor education and engagement in OHS practices could further enhance the overall safety culture at the hospital. This study contributes valuable insights for improving OSH management systems and risk control strategies, ultimately aiming for a safer and healthier work environment for both hospital staff and visitors.

Abstract

Background: Hospitals are health care facilities that not only serve to cure diseases but also play a crucial role in disease prevention and health promotion. Clean and healthy living behavior refers to conscious health practices undertaken by individuals, families, groups, or communities to improve overall health quality and prevent illness (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2023). An initial survey conducted by researchers at Annisa General Hospital, Citeureup, on June 17, 2025, revealed that among 12 respondents in the outpatient department, 8 individuals (66.7%) had never received direct education on clean and healthy living behavior related to handwashing, while only 4 individuals (33.3%) had received such education. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest model. The study population consisted of 5,010 patients, and the sample included 38 participants. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis (frequencies) and bivariate analysis with the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Results: Based on Table 4.1, a total of 38 participants were included. Before the intervention, 18 individuals (47.4%) were categorized as having insufficient knowledge. Following the intervention, a significant improvement was observed, with only 1 participant (2.6%) remaining in the insufficient knowledge category. Twenty-eight participants (73.7%) were over the age of 35, 25 (65.8%) were unemployed, and 2 (5.3%) had never attended school. According to Table 4.4, the Z-score was -5.108, with a significance level (Asympt. Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000. Conclusion: Participants’ understanding improved after receiving instructions through a poster illustrating the six steps of proper handwashing with soap. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test indicated that no participants experienced a decrease in their scores. A total of 89.5% of participants showed improved scores after viewing the poster. These findings demonstrate that visual poster-based education is effective in improving general understanding of proper handwashing practices.
