Abstract

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic cardiovascular condition characterized by the heart’s inability to pump sufficient blood to meet the body’s metabolic demands, leading to various physical and functional disturbances. Among the most frequently reported symptoms in patients with CHF are fatigue and impaired sleep quality, both of which may negatively affect daily functioning and quality of life. This study aimed to examine the relationship between fatigue and sleep quality in patients with Congestive Heart Failure. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital, Semarang, from September to November 2025. A total of 163 patients with CHF were recruited using a sampling technique based on the Isaac and Michael formula. Data were collected using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) to measure fatigue levels and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality, supported by medical record data. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most respondents were male (52.8%), aged 56–65 years (25.1%), and had been diagnosed with CHF for approximately two years (33.1%). More than half of the patients experienced high levels of fatigue (54.6%), while the majority reported poor sleep quality (71.2%). The Chi-Square test revealed a statistically significant relationship between fatigue and sleep quality in patients with CHF (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). This study concluded that low and high fatigue affect sleep quality in CHF patients.  The study highlights the importance of comprehensive nursing care that includes early assessment and management of fatigue and sleep disturbances to improve patient well-being and support optimal clinical outcomes.

Abstract

The Emergency Department (ED) is the primary entry point for patients requiring urgent medical attention, and the triage system used to classify patients by severity often becomes a source of confusion for waiting families. When families do not understand why patients are treated in a particular order rather than by arrival time, feelings of worry and distress tend to increase. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family understanding of the triage system and the level of anxiety experienced by patients' families in the Emergency Department of RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta. This research applied a quantitative observational-analytic design with a cross sectional approach. Ninety respondents were recruited through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a validated triage-understanding questionnaire and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), then analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed that most respondents had insufficient understanding of the triage system (62.2%) and experienced severe anxiety (42.2%). The correlation test produced a p-value of <0.001 (p<0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.504, indicating a moderate, positive, and statistically significant relationship: the lower the family's understanding of triage, the higher their anxiety level, and vice versa. These findings suggest that structured therapeutic communication and triage education for waiting families could be an effective strategy to reduce anxiety in the emergency setting.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding plays an important role in infant health, but the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding globally and internationally has not yet met the set targets. One of the main obstacles faced by postpartum mothers is the lack of smooth milk production in the early postpartum period due to physiological and psychological factors such as stress, fatigue, and impaired let-down reflex. Oxytocin massage is believed to be able to stimulate the release of the oxytocin hormone, thereby helping to facilitate breast milk production, but its application at the primary care level is still limited. This study aims to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on the smoothness of breast milk in primiparous postpartum mothers in the working area of the Alalak Selatan Community Health Center, Banjarmasin City. The study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design. The population was all primiparous postpartum mothers in the working area of the Alalak Selatan Community Health Center, with samples taken using an accidental sampling technique. The oxytocin massage intervention was given for three consecutive days, the smoothness of breast milk was measured before and after the intervention using an observation sheet. The results showed a significant increase in breast milk flow after the intervention, with all 30 respondents reaching the smooth category ( Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test , Z = 4.806; p = 0.000).

Abstract

Background: Skin diseases represent a major burden in outpatient dermatology settings in Indonesia. The pattern of dermatological diagnoses varies substantially by age group and sex, reflecting differences in hormonal milieu, environmental exposures, and immune function. Objective: To describe and analytically assess the distribution of dermatological diagnoses stratified by age group and sex among patients attending in a private health and beauty clinic in Menteng, Central Jakarta, from January 2024 to December 2025. Methods: A cross-sectional, analytic observational study was conducted using secondary data from the clinic’s visit records. A total of 8,105 patient visits were included. Diagnoses were classified by ICD-10 code and stratified into eight broad age groups: Infants (<1 years), Young Children (1-4 years), Older Children (5-9 years), Young Adolescent (10-14 years), Older Adolescents (15-19 years), Young Adults (20-24 years), Adults (25–59 years), and Elderly (≥60 years). Chi-square (X²) goodness-of-fit was used for hypothesis testing. Results: Female patients predominated (74.9%; x2 = 2,016.761, p < 0.001). The most common diagnoses were acne vulgaris (n = 1,230; 15.2%), atopic dermatitis (n = 756; 9.3%), chloasma (n = 740; 9.1%). Acne vulgaris peaked in the Adults group (65.2% of all acne cases), chloasma in the Adults group (87%), and atopic dermatitis in the Adults group (34.9%). Chi-square analysis revealed that all top-10 diagnoses showed statistically significant non-uniform age distribution (all p < 0.001). Conclusion: Dermatological diagnoses at this private health and beauty clinic are age- and sex-patterned. These findings provide a basis for age-targeted prevention, early detection, and clinical resource allocation in urban private dermatology practice.
