Abstract

The developmental transition of adolescence in 9th-grade students is frequently accompanied by heightened psychosocial pressures, such as academic workloads and anxiety regarding continuing higher education. To mitigate the risk of mental health disorders, internal capacity in the form of self-awareness and self-acceptance (self-compassion) becomes a crucial aspect to explore. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between self-compassion capabilities and stress levels among adolescents at SMP Negeri 3 Gondangrejo Karanganyar. Methods: The research design utilized a quantitative approach with a census method (total sampling) involving 95 respondents from 9th-grade students. Data collection was conducted from March to April 2026 using questionnaire instruments. Univariate analysis was applied to describe demographic characteristics, while bivariate analysis employed the Spearman's Rank ( ) correlation test. Results: The majority of respondents were female (53.7%), fell within the age range of 15 years old (47.4%), and lived with their parents (76.8%). Univariate analysis indicated that most students possessed a high level of self-compassion (85.3%) and experienced low levels of stress (74.7%). Based on the Spearman's Rho correlation test, the correlation coefficient was -0.310 with a significant p-value of 0.002 ( ). Conclusion: There is a significant negative relationship with a moderate correlation strength between self-compassion and stress levels in adolescents. Higher self-compassion capabilities in students correspond to lower experienced stress levels. These findings imply the importance of integrating self-compassion-based psychoeducation within educational institutions and optimizing community psychiatric nursing care to maintain the psychological stability of adolescents.

Abstract

Gestational anemia remains a critical public health issue that significantly increases the risk of maternal and fetal complications. Despite high distribution rates of iron tablets in Deli Serdang, the incidence of anemia among pregnant women continues to rise due to low compliance and poor intestinal absorption. This quantitative study applied a pre-experimental One-Group Pretest-Posttest design in Wonosari Village, Tanjung Morawa, to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of co-administering oral iron tablets combined with Vitamin C on increasing maternal hemoglobin levels. A sample of 39 pregnant women was selected using purposive sampling. Capillary hemoglobin levels were measured using digital point-of-care testing before and after the intervention, with data analyzed via the Paired Sample t-Test. Laboratory findings showed that the mean hemoglobin level rose significantly from 11.21 g/dL at pretest to 13.60 g/dL at posttest, demonstrating a mean absolute increase of 2.39 g/dL. The proportion of healthy respondents rose from 66.65% to 97.43%, while mild anemia cases dropped from 33.35% to 2.57%. The inferential statistical analysis generated a value of $p < 0.000$, proving that the co-administration of oral iron tablets alongside Vitamin C is highly effective in elevating maternal hemoglobin levels and eradicating gestational anemia.

Abstract

Community nursing practice readiness is an important outcome of nursing education because it determines the ability of final-year nursing students to enter professional roles. This study aims to determine the dominant factors associated with practice readiness and explain their implications for learning. The study used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach on final-year nursing students who had participated in community practice. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring self-efficacy, practice experience, preceptor support, and practice readiness. Analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression. Separately, self-efficacy, practice experience, and preceptor support were positively and significantly related to practice readiness, with R² of 0.712, 0.669, and 0.794, respectively. In the simultaneous model, self-efficacy was the dominant factor with a beta of 0.63 and p<0.001. Preceptor support remained significant at the borderline significance, while practice experience was no longer significant. The final model explained 81% of the variation in practice readiness. This study concludes that students' self-efficacy is a key element of practice readiness. The novelty of the study lies in the simultaneous examination of three factors in the context of community nursing. Its contribution is to help institutions establish learning priorities based on factors that remain robust after all variables are analyzed statistically together. These findings provide an empirical basis for strengthening learning through simulation, reflection, decision-making, and targeted preceptor mentoring.

Abstract

Falls remain a major patient safety concern in hospital settings, including pediatric wards. Children are vulnerable to falls during hospitalization due to their active movements and curiosity toward their surroundings. This study aims to examine the relationship between family support and fall prevention efforts among pediatric patients in the ZAL A Inpatient Unit of Dr. H. Slamet Martodirdjo Regional Hospital, Pamekasan. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted. From 114 families of children identified as fall-risk patients, 89 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a 15-item family support questionnaire and the Humpty Dumpty Fall Scale, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 82.0% of families provided adequate support, while 67.4% of children were categorized as high risk for falls. Among families with low support, 93.8% of children were classified as high risk, whereas among families with better support, 61.6% were high risk and 38.4% were low risk. The Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.029 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between family support and fall prevention outcomes. Stronger family support contributes to improved fall prevention among hospitalized children.

Abstract

Intubated patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) are highly susceptible to impaired oral immunity, resulting in rapid oral microbial colonization, dental plaque accumulation, dry mouth, and other oral health problems. Poor oral hygiene is strongly associated with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among mechanically ventilated patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining toothbrushing and suctioning during oral hygiene in reducing the incidence of VAP in intubated patients. A systematic review was conducted using the PICO framework and PRISMA guidelines to identify and analyze relevant studies. The findings showed that oral hygiene interventions included swabbing, toothbrushing, suctioning, mouth rinsing, and oral moisturizing. Although not all reviewed studies demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in VAP incidence with the combined use of toothbrushing and suctioning, several reported lower VAP rates compared with swabbing alone. Variations in outcomes were likely influenced by differences in oral care protocols, mouthwash solutions, toothbrush types, suction devices, and intervention frequency. Overall, comprehensive oral hygiene incorporating toothbrushing and suctioning appears to improve oral health and may contribute to reducing VAP risk when supported by standardized evidence-based nursing protocols.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that triggers maladaptive emotional responses, such as violent behavior, which can endanger the patients themselves, others, or the environment. Deep breathing relaxation therapy serves as a non-pharmacological management that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowers stress hormones, and enhances anger control capabilities. To determine the effect of deep breathing relaxation therapy on violent behavior in patients with schizophrenia. This study utilized a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The deep breathing relaxation therapy was implemented for 7 consecutive days with a duration of 15 minutes per day for 4 male respondents with violent behavior at RSJD Dr. Amino Gondohutomo. The instruments used were the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for deep breathing relaxation therapy along with a violent behavior observation questionnaire. This study has been declared ethically cleared under letter number 000.9/1347/II/2026. Prior to the intervention (pre-test), the respondents' average self-control capability score was 50% (poor). Following the intervention (post-test), the score increased to 82% (good). The patients became calmer, less irritable, and their aggressive impulses were reduced. The application of deep breathing relaxation therapy is effective and has a significant influence on enhancing self-control and reducing violent behavior in schizophrenic patients.

Abstract

Spatholobus littoralis Hassk (Bajakah) is a traditional medicinal plant widely used in Indonesia, particularly in Kalimantan, for various health conditions. Previous studies have reported its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, which are essential in the wound healing process. This study aims to evaluate the potential of Spatholobus littoralis as a natural therapeutic agent in wound healing based on available experimental and clinical evidence. This study was conducted using a literature review approach by analyzing published articles related to the biological activities of Spatholobus littoralis, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and wound healing effects. Articles were obtained from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and GARUDA databases using predefined keywords. After the screening and selection process based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 28 articles were included in this review. The findings indicate that Spatholobus littoralis contains bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins, and saponins, which contribute to wound healing through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities. These mechanisms regulate oxidative stress, modulate inflammatory responses, and inhibit wound-associated pathogens. The included studies consistently suggest that these biological activities support the potential of Spatholobus littoralis as a natural wound-healing agent. However, variations in extraction methods, formulations, and concentrations were observed across the included studies. Spatholobus littoralis demonstrates significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities that support its potential as a natural wound-healing agent. However, further studies are needed to standardize extraction methods, determine the optimal dosage form and therapeutic dose, and evaluate its long-term safety and clinical effectiveness.

Abstract

The physiological aging process triggers a decline in vascular function, which impacts the high escalation of hypertension cases in the elderly population. This study aims to analyze the empirical effect of elderly gymnastics on reducing blood pressure among elderly hypertensive patients in Lumban Pea Village, Balige District, Toba Regency in 2026. This type of research was quantitative with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest design without a control group. The sample in this study consisted of 31 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique from a total population of 35 hypertensive elderly. The elderly gymnastics intervention was conducted twice a week for three weeks with a duration of 30 minutes per session. Blood pressure measurements were taken using a calibrated digital sphygmomanometer 30 minutes before and after the entire intervention series. The results of the univariate analysis showed a decrease in mean systolic blood pressure from 150.00 mmHg to 140.48 mmHg, and diastolic pressure from 94.48 mmHg to 90.48 mmHg. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test indicated that the data were normally distributed ( ). Based on the bivariate Paired Sample T-Test, a p-value of 0.001 was obtained for systolic pressure and 0.003 for diastolic pressure ( ). In conclusion, elderly gymnastics has a significant effect on lowering systolic and diastolic blood pressure through the mechanism of blood vessel vasodilation and decreased sympathetic nerve activity.
